Chapter 5 — On the Big Wedding Night, the Husband Hides Pregnant Bach Nguyet Quang in the Dowry Chest
“Miss Liu, just now you told her to admit her mistake.”
“Now say I forced her.”
“This mouth of yours really knows how to turn better than the lock in the Marquis's warehouse.”
Luc Van Chu almost burst out laughing, but couldn't hold it back. Bui Tu angrily shouted:
“Tham Thanh Vu!”
I don't look at him. I just look at Huong Lan.
“Make it clear.”
“Who told you to put Lieu Phu Am in my dowry chest last night?”
“Who gave you Marquis's card belt?”
“Who told you to put the shoe next to the well, then throw the towel into the well?”
Huong Lan cried until tears filled her eyes.
“It's the lady…”
Lieu Phu Am suddenly sat up.
“Huong Lan!”
Huong Lan was so scared that she was shaking, but she couldn't stop.
“It was Miss Lieu who ordered the slave to do it!”
"The lady said, as long as Young Lady is convicted of murder, even if she doesn't die, she will be retired!"
“At that time, the lady will be able to enter the palace.”
"The child will also be upright and have a good reputation!"
The whole room was buzzing. Bui Tu's face changed from blue to white. Old Lady Bui's hand holding the walking stick also trembled. Lieu Phu Am hugged her stomach, tears rolling down her eyes.
“You talk nonsense!”
“Normally I treat you ungratefully, why do you hurt me?”
Huong Lan cried and screamed.
“Miss, it was you who said that Young Lady has just entered the door and her foundation is not yet stable.”
"As long as a murder happens, she can't defend herself with a hundred mouths!"
"That scarf was also the one who sent the slave to secretly take it from Thanh Dai's room!"
Thanh Dai was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
“It turned out to be you!”
I looked at Luc Van Chu.
“Luc Thieu Doan, witness statements and physical evidence are all there.”
“Please take them back to Kinh Trieu Palace for interrogation.”
Luc Van Chu nodded. The agents were about to escort Huong Lan. Lieu Phu Am suddenly jumped down from the soft tower. She knelt at Bui Tu's feet, her face as white as paper.
“Brother Tu, I don't have it.”
“I'm just too scared.”
“I'm afraid my wife won't forgive me.”
“I'm afraid the baby won't have a father.”
“I'm afraid you don't need me anymore.”
Bui Tu lowered his head to look at her. In his eyes there was pain, anger, and fluctuation. Lieu Phu Am clutched the hem of his shirt, crying so much that he could barely breathe.
“You said you would protect me.”
"You once said that after you get married and stabilize the Marquis Palace, you will welcome me into the door."
“You once said that this child will be the first descendant of the Marquis Palace.”
As soon as these words ended, old lady Bui's face completely changed. The eyes of the clan were as sharp as knives and simultaneously fell on Bui Tu. It turns out that Bui Tu didn't just know it for a long time. And from beginning to end, he was an accomplice. What we've been waiting for is this statement. I turned to old lady Bui.
“Old lady.”
“Just now at Tho An hall, you made a bet with me.”
“If there is someone in the chest that shouldn't be there, Marquis must publicly apologize to me.”
"The person who handed over the card to the middle manager."
“My dowry will not be entered into the Marquis' public records.”
The corners of Old Lady Bui's face twitched repeatedly.
“Now is not the time to talk about this.”
“Now is the right time.”
My voice is not loud, but it drowns out all the crying.
“Liu Phu Am is still alive.”
“She admitted with her own mouth that she was in the trunk last night.”
"Huong Lan also confessed the slander."
“Bui Tu also suffered from her confess, there was an arrangement long ago.”
“If the old lady wants to go back on her word, that's fine.”
I looked at Luc Van Chu.
“Fortunately, people from Kinh Trieu Palace are also here.”
“Please Luc Thieu Doan take notes.”
Luc Van Chu calmly said:
“This mandarin's ears are still very good.”
Old Lady Bui's face turned pale. Perhaps she had never suffered such humiliation before. But inside the room there was a family member watching, and outside the door there was a servant guarding. She couldn't deny it. Bui Tu suddenly opened his mouth.
“Tham Thanh Vu.”
He looked at me, his eyes filled with suppressed anger.
“Are you sure you have to tear your face off today?”
“The one who tore my face apart was not me.”
“On the wedding night, I hid my pregnant appearance in my dowry chest and it was you.”
“Using my handkerchief as evidence, pretending to be you.”
"Forcing me to confess my crime, it's up to you to kneel down on the street."
I walked in front of him.
“When you stepped on my face to the ground, why didn't you ask me if it hurt or not?”
His throat moved slightly. Couldn't say a word. I turned to old lady Bui. Old Lady Bui stared at me. A long time later, she took out a gold coin card from her sleeve. The face of the mother standing next to her suddenly changed dramatically.
“Old lady…”
Old Lady Bui raised her hand and slapped her hard.
“Shut up!”
Old Lady Bui threw the cards on the table. I didn't immediately accept it. I look at Bui Tu. Bui Tu's eyes were full of cruelty.
“Don't be too much.”
“This is not excessive.”
I look at him.
“This is a bet.”
Luc Van Chu spoke up at the right time.
