Chapter 14 — On the Big Wedding Night, the Husband Hides Pregnant Bach Nguyet Quang in the Dowry Chest

Butler Chu shouted loudly: He is still silent. I picked up a cup of tea from the table and gently lifted the lid.

“It's okay if you don't say anything.”

"Stealing books that have been sealed by the owner will be prosecuted for the crime of stealing public books."

"Bring it to Kinh Trieu Palace, first beat twenty spans."

The little man's body trembled. We continue to say:

"After the fight, if I'm still alive, I'll ask again."

Finally, he completely collapsed.

“It's Marquis!”

“The Marquis sent a servant to take a notebook back to Thua An Lane!”

The room immediately fell silent. Indeed, Bui Tu knew about it. I held out my hand.

“Give me the books.”

Thanh Dai brought the notebook over. We turned to the layer of paper sandwiched inside. From there fell a very thin copy of the real estate contract. Number twenty-seven, Thua An alley. In the owner section, write a name. Mr. Trieu's expression immediately changed.

“Miss, this name…”

I looked at him.

“What do you know?”

He lowered his voice.

“A eunuch in charge of shopping in the Inner Court.”

"Usually replace some noble people in the palace to handle personal matters."

My fingertips slowly pressed on that piece of paper. In the palace. Sure enough... He's a member of the palace. At that moment, Bui Tu's cold voice came from outside the door.

“Tham Thanh Vu.”

He stood at the door of the book room, his eyes falling on the copy of the real estate contract in my hand.

“Give it to me.”

Bui Tu stood at the door, his face gloomy. Behind him were four guards. Each person's hand was placed on the hilt of the sword. Thanh Dai immediately blocked in front of me. Butler Chu's face turned pale.

“Master Marquis, Young Lady is checking the books…”

Bui Tu coldly said: Butler Chu does not dare to move. I slowly folded the copy of the real estate contract and put it in my sleeve. Bui Tu's eyes became even colder.

“I said, give it to me.”

I raised my eyes to look at him.

“Does Marquis intend to rob you?”

He walked in.

“There are things that are not things she can touch.”

“For example, Thua An lane?”

Bui Tu's footsteps stopped.

“Or for example Luu Kinh?”

Finally his face changed. Just very quickly after that, he pressed it down.

“Tham Thanh Vu, the more you investigate, the faster you will die.”

Everyone in the room heard that sentence. Mr. Trieu immediately lowered his voice.

“Miss.”

I don't back down.

“Are you threatening me?”

Bui Tu stared at me.

“I'm reminding you.”

“This Marquis' Palace is not the Viceroy's Palace.”

"This capital city is not a place you can overturn if you want."

I looked at him and suddenly burst into laughter.

“Master Marquis is right.”

“So I will not overturn the capital.”

I raised my hand and placed the middle management card on the table.

“I will overthrow the Marquis Palace first.”

Bui Tu's eyes were cold as if he wanted to kill someone. But at that moment, someone outside suddenly came to report.

“Master Marquis, the old lady invited you and the Young Lady to come from the street.”

“Several uncles in the clan have all arrived.”

Bui Tu smiled coldly.

“Tham Thanh Vu, let the clan members decide today.”

The smoky flavor from the sugar is very strong. Rows of ancestral relics of the Bui family are neatly displayed. Old Lady Bui sat in the middle, her face pale but still trying to remain calm. Several clan uncles and clan judges sat on both sides. As soon as I walked in the door, all eyes were on me. It's like interrogating a prisoner. Old Lady Bui just opened her mouth and said:

“Kneel down.”

I stand Quiet, not moving at all. She looked at me coldly.

"The family is Tham, it's only been two days since you married into the Bui family."

"First, he caused chaos in the new office, then he invited the government officials to come, then sealed the record room and took over the right to manage the middle fund."

“Right now, rumors are spreading outside that there is discord within the Marquis Palace.”

“Do you know where you went wrong?”

I look at her.

“Is this old lady's clan meeting today to judge me?”

"It's to teach you the rules."

A tribal judge immediately responded.

"Young lady, a married woman, the most taboo thing is to reveal too much sharpness."

“If you force the Marquis and the old lady like that, how will you survive in the future?”

"How to live in the future, no rush."

"Today, let's calculate the past debts first."

Old Lady Bui's face darkened.

“Insolent!”

I turned to look at Mr. Trieu. Mr. Trieu held the notebook and stepped forward, his voice clear.

“The public books of the Marquis of Vinh An began to show a deficit from December last year.”

“To date, there has been a total deficit of thirteen thousand eight hundred taels of silver.”

The relatives immediately stirred. Old Lady Bui jumped up. Mr. Trieu opened the notebook.

“The books are all here.”

“Each expense has an original book for comparison.”

"Of which, three thousand two hundred taels are used to offset the cost of shopping for the wedding party."

“Four thousand taels are used to pay off external debt.”

“In addition, every seven days, two hundred taels of silver are delivered to Thua An alley.”
