Chapter 2 — I Rely On Lying Still And Ignoring It, The Back Trach Fighting System Goes Crazy

He took out a thick stack of checks from his chest, threw them at my feet with a "pop" sound, papers scattered all over the ground.

"Take this pile of money and get out. This Crown Prince will absolutely not marry a country girl as his wife! I will cancel this marriage!"

The voice was not loud, but each word seemed to strike directly at the Marquis's face. Lady Hou's face immediately turned pale. 【The opportunity is here, host! God-given opportunity! Quickly! Tear up those checks and throw them right in his face! Point at his nose and say thirty years in Ha Dong, thirty years in Ha Tay, don't underestimate the poor teenager! Let him know that you are not someone who can be bribed with money!】 The system screamed madly in my head, excited as if the next second it would fly straight into the sky. I looked at the pile of checks on the ground and quietly squatted down. One sheet, two sheets... I carefully picked up each sheet, gathered them all in my hand, and thoughtfully used my hand to smooth out the wrinkles on the top sheet. After that, I stood up, met Tieu Canh Minh's surprised eyes, and smiled for the first time since returning to the palace for 3 days.

“Your Highness did that very well.”

【... Good? How good is that?!】 I ignored the screams of the system and continued to say: "A melon picked reluctantly is not sweet, I understand this principle. Now Your Highness is willing to use money to end everything, saving both sides' dignity, happily parting ways, no one owes anyone anything, truly the demeanor of a gentleman. Thank you Your Highness." Tieu Canh Minh was completely stunned. Perhaps he had imagined a hundred reactions from me, either crying loudly, or indignantly questioning, or refusing to live or die, but he just didn't expect that I would be so calm, and even... thank him. I gently squeezed the stack of bills in my hand, estimating that it was at least 5,000 taels. Truly a huge amount of money.

“The Marquis has lost all face by you!”

An energetic baritone voice rang out. That is An Vien Hau, my biological father. I don't know when he was standing there, now glaring at me with anger, as if I had just committed a heinous crime.

“Father, stop being angry.” I carefully put the stack of checks in my chest, it was the only decent pocket on my person. "The daughter believes that, compared to a marriage that was destined to be unhappy, the compensation of 5,000 taels of money can save the Marquis's face even more."

【Host, I beg you, make a little trouble! This plot cannot continue anymore!】 The system let out a lamenting sound as it almost collapsed. I looked around at the people in the room with all kinds of different expressions, without a wave in my heart.

“My mind is very clear, you guys are acting too much.”

I was "arranged" to live in Thanh Chi Vien, the most remote place in the Marquis Palace. The institute is not big, it is overgrown with weeds, and because the room has not been lived in for a long time, it smells of old mold. The person assigned to serve me was only a little maid who looked a few years younger than me, named Tieu Dao, who timidly followed behind me, not even daring to breathe. 【Can I live here? Obviously the residence of a servant! Host, go find Mrs. Hau and explain the truth! Request to change to an institute worthy of your daughter's status! By the way, let's beat those servants who dare to delay you!】 The system jumped up and down in my head. Ta Don't pay attention to it, slowly walk around the yard. In the corner of the yard there is a well with clear, cool water. At the foot of the east wall there is a small plot of land, fertile soil, very suitable for growing some vegetables. Although the house is old, the main structure is still quite solid. Just clean it up and renovate it a bit and it's enough to live in.

“Tieu Dao.” I called out softly.

“Miss... miss.” The little maid was startled and quickly responded.

I took out a 50 tael check from my chest and stuffed it into her hand. "Go find some nimble ladies and clean up the place inside and out. Buy some lime and sticky rice, along with new blankets and mattresses and daily utensils. The rest will be considered your wages." Tieu Dao held the banknote, her hands were shaking so much, she looked at me in disbelief: "Miss, this..."

“Go away, I'm not used to being in dirty places.” My voice is calm.
