Chapter 21 — On the wedding night, I let Bach Lotus Flower Thanh Mai and Ma Phu drink Hop Can wine

The courtyard is not the largest, but each place has been remodeled according to my preferences. Ngan Binh pushed the warehouse door open.

“Miss, the entire dowry has been transferred.”

We look at the full chests in the warehouse. In my previous life, I couldn't even keep a hairpin. In this life, I have taken back everything that belongs to me. Co Nghien Chi stood at the door.

“Is there anything missing?”

I look at him.

“Missing a wedding.”

He was stunned, then laughed.

“I'll go get ready now.”

On the wedding day, many people came to the capital. No one dares to talk about our separation anymore. Co Nghien Chi personally came to welcome the bride. He held the end of the red silk ribbon and asked me in a low voice:

“Are you stressed?”

“No stress.”

He smiled softly.

“I have a little.”

I laughed looking at him.

“Does Master Gu also know fear?”

"I'm afraid she'll criticize me for not being polite enough."

I look at him.

“Then spend your whole life slowly making up for it.”

Among the crowd, I saw Ta Lam Chu. He wore a light-colored outfit and stood very far away. The old lady did not come. Currently, the Tran Bac Marquis Palace has completely fallen into disrepair, and the communal house's door is cold. Ta Lam Chu guarded an empty palace, becoming a joke in the capital. He looked at me, with only deep regret in his eyes. I don't stop walking. Hi Nuong shouted loudly:

“I bow to heaven and earth!”

This time, when the appropriate wine was brought up, Co Nghien Chi was the one who personally lifted my veil first. He looked straight into my eyes.

"Tham Chieu Duong, I'm Co Nghien Chi. Look clearly and then drink."

The hall immediately rang out with good-natured laughter. Even I burst out laughing.

“I see clearly.”

Two cups of wine collide. I raised my head and drank the entire cup. No more humiliation. No more planning. Only the hall of blessings remained. One year later, Quy Duong opened thirty-two stores, each year earning four hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver. The Tham family and the Vinh Ninh Marquis' palace together established female students. In the first year, two hundred poor girls were accepted. I personally set the rules. The ladies in the school don't just learn to read and write. Still learning how to count books. Learn how to make money. Also learn not to bow your head just because of a "fame" sentence from people. Ngan Binh became the chief treasurer of Quy Duong. The day Uncle Zhou returned to Jiangnan, he laughed so much that his beard curled up.

“Miss, master said that from now on, the Tham family will listen to you.”

At that moment, Co Nghien Chi walked in from outside.

“The Co family also listened to her.”

I look at him.

“Aren't Master Gu busy today?”

He walked next to me. He very naturally replied:

“Busy having dinner with my wife.”

Ngan Binh smiled and retreated. After the meal, Lady Tiet sent someone to deliver the news. Lieu Minh Chau elsewhere remarried once. But because she liked to cause rifts between brothers in her husband's family, she was dismissed. After that, she wanted to return to the capital, but even with her relatives at the city gate, no one was willing to accept her. Ta Lam Chu has not remarried yet. The title of Tran Bac Marquis Palace is still there. But face is lost. When the old lady was seriously ill, she always mentioned Lieu Minh Chau. But Lieu Minh Chau sent a letter asking for money. After listening, I only asked one question.

“Is she still alive?”

Lady Tiet Answer:

"Still alive. It's just that no one believes in her anymore, and no one protects her anymore."

I nodded slightly.

“That's good.”

Co Nghien Chi looked at me.

“Don't you want to see each other again?”

I shook my head.

“No see.”

“No more hatred?”

We look out the window.

“I used to hate.”

“But now, Quy Duong's books are more important than hers.”

“The girls in the girls' class... are more important than her.”

Co Nghien Chi smiled slightly.

“What about the others?”

I took the drawing of the new store.

“Those people?”

“I already forgot.”
