Chapter 9 — On the wedding night, I let Bach Lotus Flower Thanh Mai and Ma Phu drink Hop Can wine

I said softly:

“Then first reclaim the debt that the Marquis still owes.”

Uncle Zhou brought a book.

"The Marquis' Palace has had a lot of deficits in recent years. Tran Bac Marquis once brought his wife's dowry to the money house as collateral to borrow money in the name of money. Although it ultimately failed, the money house still kept the record."

I turned to the end of the book. Above is the name of the recommender. Lieu Minh Chau. I burst out laughing.

“Her hand is longer than I thought.”

The next day, I led people to Cam Tu Lau in the name of the Marquis Palace. Cam Tu Lau was originally the Marquis's most profitable silk shop, but in recent years, its books had been continuously losing money. The cashier saw me walk in the door, his eyelids didn't even bother to lift.

“Madam, why are you here?”

“Check the books.”

The treasurer laughed.

“The shop belongs to the Marquis, not under the madam's control.”

Ngan Binh directly slammed the letter on the counter.

"Look clearly. A long time ago, the Marquis assigned this shop to our young lady to compensate for the bride price. Now the shop belongs to her."

The shopkeeper's face immediately turned pale. The surrounding minions also gathered together.

“How much fabric does Liu Minh Chau take away from this place every month?”

The treasurer still tried to keep his mouth shut.

“Miss Lieu is an honored guest of the Marquis, taking a little cloth is nothing.”

Uncle Zhou opened the books.

“Three years, nine thousand two hundred taels of silver.”

The two boys immediately took a breath of cold air. I looked at the treasurer.

“You helped her record the loss?”

The treasurer's forehead began to break out in cold sweat.

“You little person… you only do what the Marquis orders.”

At that moment, Lieu Minh Chau led several ladies into the shop. As soon as she saw me, she was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst out laughing.

“Are you coming to buy fabric too?”

I calmly replied:

“Not buying, but collecting.”

Liu Minh Chau's expression immediately tightened. We continue to say:

"From today on, this shop belongs to me. The debt of nine thousand two hundred taels that you owe, please pay it off today."

A lady standing next to her asked in surprise:

“Minh Chau, did you take that much?”

Lieu Minh Chau immediately objected:

"I didn't take it. It was just a gift from the shop to honor the Marquis' Palace."

I turned to ask the treasurer:

“Is it filial piety?”

The treasurer immediately knelt down on the ground.

"It was Miss Lieu who told me to keep a record and send it to her hospital at the end of the month."

Lieu Minh Chau angrily shouted:

“You dare betray me?”

The treasurer cried without a sound.

“Miss, I still have a family of young and old to feed.”

I turned to look at those noble ladies.

"If you want to choose fabric today, I will reduce the price by two parts. As for Miss Lieu's debt... calculated separately."

Some people couldn't help but laugh out loud. Liu Minh Chau's face turned red.

“Tham Chieu Duong, you intentionally humiliated me.”

I replied leisurely:

"If you owe money to pay money, it's not called humiliation."

She laughed coldly.

“I don't have money.”

I nodded.

“Then take off your clothes.”

Liu Minh Chau was immediately frightened.

“Are you crazy?”

I pointed at the outer layer on her body.

"This section of the book was taken from Cam Tu Lau's books, but the money was never paid. You wear my clothes and stand here scolding me. The real crazy person is you."

The surrounding ladies simultaneously turned to look at her. Liu Minh Chau instinctively immediately raised his hand to hold his collar tightly. I signaled Ngan Binh to bring over a light white robe. Liu Minh Chau was so angry that his whole body trembled.

“Brother Lam Chu will not let you go.”

I coldly replied:

“Call him over.”

She really called. When Ta Lam Chu rushed over, Lieu Minh Chau was wearing a simple white robe, standing in the middle of a crowd of people in great difficulty. As soon as she saw him, she immediately burst into tears.

“Brother Lam Chu, she forced me to take off my clothes.”

Ta Lam Chu turned to look at me.

“Are you excited enough?”

I gave him the books directly.

“She lacks nine thousand two hundred taels of silver. Do you intend to pay for her on my behalf?"

Ta Lam Chu flipped through a few pages and his face immediately darkened. Liu Minh Chau pulled his sleeve.

“I didn't know it was that much.”

Ta Lam Chu turned to ask the treasurer:

“Are the books real?”

The treasurer bowed his head, not daring to look up.
