Chapter 9
Chapter 9 — My sister changed her concubine, I was reborn to reclaim my fate
Seeing me enter, he immediately stood up and performed a half-hearted ceremony.
"Young lady."
"If you have something to say, say it."
"The old man said, in the dowry boxes that Young Lady brought with her when she got married, there were a few items recorded in the Co mansion's public records. Those were not her dowry, but the Co family's inheritance."
"What are the dishes?"
He took out a list and read seven or eight items straight away. These are all the most valuable items in the mother's dowry.
"The old man said, I hope Young Lady respects father and daughter's love and returns those items to the Co Palace."
"Go back and talk to Co Chinh Vien."
I took the list and tore it right in front of him.
"My mother's dowry, each item has an additional list of dowry and the Lu family's inventory as proof. If he thinks any item belongs to the Co family, tell him to bring proof."
"If you can't deliver it, don't send people here to make fun of you in the future."
The manager's face changed from red to white.
"Young lady, master also asked me to pass on a sentence."
"The old man said that you have married into the Marquis' Palace, but your relationship with the Co family cannot be severed. In the future, sooner or later, you will need to go to your mother's house."
The threat in that sentence... Even a three-year-old child could hear it. I walked in front of him, bowed my head and looked down.
"You go back and tell him, whether you need it or not, it's not up to him to decide."
"One more sentence, please pass it on to Lieu Uyen Nhu."
"I don't need her things. But my things, even if it's just a thread, she shouldn't try to keep."
The manager's face turned pale and he walked away. I stood in front of the lobby door, watching his back disappear behind the screen. Trieu ma ma walked to my side.
"Miss, the old man will not give up easily."
"I know."
"What if the old man joins forces with people in the clan to exert pressure?"
"Then let him come."
I turned around and returned to the new room. There was a letter on the table, which was brought by the maid on behalf of Mrs. Hau. There was only one sentence in the letter.
"Three days later, the Marquis's mansion held a banquet, inviting the Co family to the palace to attend the banquet."
Mrs. Hau... Wants to stand up and support me. The party was held at Minh Vien Duong of Dinh Vien Hau palace. Mrs. Hau personally took charge of the arrangements, and the invited guests were all famous families in the city. The invitation clearly states: "Party to celebrate the bride's initiation", on a grand scale no less than a daughter's wedding party. Parents received invitations. If you don't come, you can't. If you don't come, it's like admitting that you did something you couldn't let others know about. That afternoon, the Co Palace's carriage stopped in front of the gate of Dinh Vien Hau Palace. Father wore a brand new brocade robe, his expression still calm, as if nothing had ever happened. Lieu Uyen Nhu also came. She wore light yellow pants, with only a simple silver hairpin on her head. The whole person was dressed discreetly and obediently, looking like a poor lady who had just suffered a grievance. When she followed her father in, she deliberately walked two steps slower, bowed her head and didn't look at anyone. All the guests knew that something strange had just happened to the Co family. Each person listens differently to specific details. Today's party... is to reveal the entire truth to everyone.
"Master Gu, please come inside."
Chu Duc led his father to the reserved seat for guests. Lieu Uyen Nhu followed behind. Just as he was about to sit down, Chu Duc stopped him with his hand.
"This lady, this table is the seat of the householders in the palaces."
"Master Gu's place is on the right."
"And the lady's place..."
"In the heavenly hall."
Lieu Uyen Nhu's face immediately turned red.
"I'm sorry..."
Father... Didn't pay any attention to her. Lieu Uyen Nhu was led by the maid to the heavenly hall, sitting at the same table with the maid and maids of other palaces. It was Mrs. Hou's intention. Don't hit. Don't scold. But just by the seating arrangement... It was enough to tell everyone. Lieu Uyen Nhu... What is her identity? After three weeks of drinking, Mrs. Hau put down her chopsticks, smiled and spoke up.
"Today you have come here to support the new wife of my palace. First of all, I would like to thank you."
"Niem Khanh is the daughter of Minh Chau, and is also the child I grew up with."
"This marriage in the past was decided by myself and Minh Chau together, on black and white paper, and with the seals of both families."
Speaking of this, she glanced at her father.
