Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — Mother-in-law taught me to be generous, I gave her eighteen beautiful cards
It's because you didn't see clearly the true face of your entire family early on. Then I wasted my effort raising you all for three years.
"I, Tham Minh Chau, even if I starve to death, even if I have to jump from the top of the wall of the Hau palace down."
“And absolutely never go back to eating old grass again!”
I turned around and walked out of the main street, then gently clapped my hands. Outside the main gate of the Marquis Palace, many of the Tham family's carriages and hundreds of servants were standing early, waiting for orders. I just ordered:
“Pass it to me!”
"As long as it's on the dowry list that year, even if it's just a hair, you have to give it all to me!"
The Tham family's servants immediately descended the mountain like hungry tigers and fiercely rushed straight into the Marquis Palace. They don't care about the Marquis's face or reputation. The only thing they listen to is the orders of a great lady like me. They broke into the treasury. Every chest of real gold and silver, every roll of brocade and silk, every precious antique painting with words was carried out. They rushed into the main courtyard again. From the purple wooden table and chairs, the canvas bed, to the decorative items placed on the antique shelf, all were swept away without a single item remaining. Looking at each chest of treasures being continuously carried out, Luc Van Chu finally began to panic.
“Tham Minh Chau, what are you doing?”
“Are you planning on cleaning up the entire Marquis Palace?”
I looked at him coldly.
“I just got my dowry back.”
“I won't take even a penny from the Marquis's property.”
"The main road is the Marquis' Palace. After leaving my dowry, is there only an empty shell left?"
I led you all the way straight to the villa where Luc Van Chu and I used to live. At this time, Uyen Nhi was sitting on a soft tower in the main room. While drinking carefully cooked bird's nest, she showed the appearance of the head of the family. As soon as she saw me leading someone in, she was so scared that she almost dropped the bowl.
“Sister...what do you want to do like that?”
I looked at the spotless, transparent white jade bowl in her hand.
“This is the Hoa Dien jade bowl in my dowry.”
“Are you worthy of using it too?”
Xuan Hoa immediately stepped forward. She snatched the jade bowl out of Uyen Nhi's hand. Even the bird's blood inside was splashed straight to the ground.
“How dare you, a low-class bastard like you, dare to use my lady's things!”
Uyen Nhi let out a shrill scream. Then, crying, he ran to find Luc Van Chu to denounce him. We don't just clean out all the furniture and decorations in the hospital. Even the Persian carpet spread on the ground I had someone roll up and take away. I even had someone tear down the layer of dark patterns and images of the clear sky after the rain on the window. The best thing is that that year I also spent three thousand taels of silver to replace the entire tile roof of this institute with lapis lazuli tiles. I immediately waved my hand.
“Go, call some tile workers here.”
“Remove all the glass tiles on the roof for me.”
“Change everything to the cheapest black tile!”
The manager hesitated for a moment.
“Eldest Miss, isn't this a bit too much?”
I raised my eyebrows at her.
"Exaggerated?"
"When they used my money to maintain the exterior, why didn't they feel that they were being unreasonable?"
“Don't leave even one!”
Less than half a day. The entire Marquis Palace has been stripped of a layer of skin by me. The Marquis' Palace was inherently wealthy splendor, splendor and luxury. This moment has become so empty and desolate, so torn. Even the silver coal used to heat the kitchen through the winter was taken away by more than half. I see I have regained almost all my capital. I sat in the carriage, looking at Luc Van Chu's deteriorating appearance. I smiled and waved my hand at them.
“Wishing you a hundred years of harmony.”
"Give birth to a son soon."
"In the days when there is no longer the smell of money, be happy until the end of your life!"
The carriage quickly rolled away. Leaving behind only a deserted Marquis Palace like a battlefield. I moved back to the three-tien mansion that the Tham family bought in the capital. That evening.
