Chapter 6 — Instead of Marrying the Marquis to the Marquis Palace

“What Co Lang gives me can only be more, better!” More, better? After learning that I had to change the marriage price, my mother quickly sent her wife to my door to reclaim the two plain silver brooches she had given me. The mouth always says that if there is "no fate", then "the thing will return to the original owner". With that meticulous calculation, as long as she doesn't look at her daughter-in-law's dowry, it's already "very kind". Quy Linh Nhi looked at Co Than who was avoiding her eyes, dissatisfiedly and petulantly: "Co Lang, what are you saying!" Co Than stiffly pulled the corner of his mouth, just about to speak when the frightened voice of the gatekeeper interrupted. "Master, ma'am, it's not good... Cam Y Ve! Cam Y Ve is here!"12 Along with the shrill scream of the gatekeeper, Cam Y Ve was wearing Phi Ngu uniform, with a Tu Xuan knife on her waist. One after another, they entered. The sound of iron shoes hitting the ground was like thunder, and in the blink of an eye, it surrounded the courtyard of the Quy Palace. This day has finally come! The leader had a white, beardless face, opened the bright yellow holy scroll in his hand, and read it himself: "Phuong edict: The Left Minister Quy Van Vien embezzled food and grass on the border, formed factions, real evidence. Now stripped of his position, confiscated the family's property, the entire family is exiled to Linh Nam, departing tomorrow!" "No... Impossible!" Father was as if struck by lightning, screaming and rushed forward. "Unjustly, I am being punished." unjust!” Immediately after that, his arms were twisted upside down by two Cam Y Ve and pressed to the ground. He struggled desperately, tying his hair in a messy bun. "I am loyal, I must have been slandered by criminals... I want to see your Majesty, ask for your judgment!" The mother fell limply to the ground, groaned twice and then rolled her eyes and fainted. Quy Linh Nhi cowered next to her mother, her whole body trembling like a bed, but still raised her hand to point at me: "What about her? She is also the daughter of the Quy family! Was she exiled with us?" I suddenly remembered this day of my previous life. It's the same scene. It was just me who knelt next to my mother, hugging her limp body tightly at that time. I raised my head to look at Quy Linh Nhi being supported by her grandmother, standing in the hallway, her eyes filled with pleading. I just hope that she immediately returns to the Marquis Palace and asks Miss Thoi to help. Even if exile cannot be avoided in the end, at least parents can prepare more money and clothes to avoid suffering on the road. But when she faced my eyes, she just coldly turned her face away, turned around and left without any hesitation. Didn't even turn his head to look at his parents once. Her voice was urgent and decisive: "From today, the Quy family and I have broken our relationship! Your lives and lives no longer have anything to do with me!" In this life, the person kneeling there trembling has changed into her. Yet she still wants to drag me into the water! Commander Cam Y Ve heard that, then leaned over and nodded slightly at me, his voice extremely polite. "It turns out that she is the princess of the Trung Dung Marquis Palace. The princess is not on the exile list." Quy Linh Nhi shouted unwillingly: "On what basis? She is also the daughter of her father and mother, and also a lady of the Noble Palace! You cannot be so unfair!" daughter married out." Co Than just took a few steps back when he heard that, looked at Quy Linh Nhi who was frightened and helpless, gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice: "You and I... have an engagement contract, can it be considered that my wife has not yet passed through my door... Can I be exempted from exile?" Hearing that, Quy Linh Nhi's tense body immediately softened, and her father did not continue to struggle. But the commander coldly glanced at Co Than. "Young Master Gu should still take care of himself first. Master Co's story has been exposed. The Holy Order confiscated the family's assets and exiled the Co Palace..." "It must have been brought to your palace."

already." 13The case of my father's embezzlement of food and grass is indeed somewhat exaggerated and falsely accused. But my late father really owes the blood debt of many people's lives. Last year, the court granted eight hundred thousand taels of silver to build dikes to prevent the Hoai Duong flood. My late father held the position of Minister of Public Affairs, in charge of supervising this project. He secretly changed the blocks of stone used for damming into weathered soft rocks, and also reduced the ratio of glutinous rice mortar by half, mixing in more than half of it with sand and soil. In my previous life, when the flood season came, the dam immediately collapsed. Seventeen districts downstream turned into a sea of water, corpses floated on the river surface, and disease spread along the turbid water. At that time, I was in Linh Nam, and I personally healed an old stonemason who had fled... I told this story to Luc Tranh, not only because I held the hatred of my previous life, but also because I wanted to replace the thousands of unjust souls who one day could see the light sick, lips trembling. “No, it's impossible! My father was an honest official, loved the people like his son... There must have been people slandering him..." The commander no longer paid attention to him, turned around and waved his hand: "Check! Those who oppose, evil will not be forgiven!” Cam Y Ve immediately flooded every part of the palace like a black tide. The sound of chests being overturned, the sound of broken porcelain, the sound of maid and lady crying all mixed into one piece.
