Chapter 3 — The Donkey's Red-Eyed Husband reconciled, I cried, signed my name, and then cleaned out the treasury of hundreds of thousands

“Say that again.”

Ta Yen's voice was dry and tense. The butler knelt on the ground, blood stains from his head bruising the tile floor red.

“The treasury... is empty.”

“Even the iron chest containing the land contract is no longer there.”

Ta Yen grabbed the tea set from the table and slammed it on the ground.

"Fabulous!"

"Millions of taels of white silver and several chests of land contracts, could Tham Tri Phi grow wings and be able to clean them all up in just one night?"

“Quickly go investigate for me!”

"Block the entire palace gate, even if you have to dig three meters deep, you still have to find that silver!"

The family and guardians simultaneously mobilized. The entire palace of Thua An Marquis immediately became so chaotic that chickens flew and dogs ran away. Ta Yen sat down on the Thai Su chair. The back of his burned hand was red and the skin was torn, but he couldn't feel it at all. Half an hour later. The butler, his face covered in dust, rolled into the main hall. Nothing. In the palace, not even a spare copper coin was found. The butler's teeth chattered together. He trembled as he uttered a sentence that was enough to take a person's life.

“Master Marquis... when the former lady left, she took Mother Vuong with her.”

Ta Yen's eyelids twitched.

“Mother Wang's hometown is related to the Hui Tong estate in Jiangnan.”

“The slave just went to check the books…”

"Over the past half year, the lady took on all kinds of different titles, gradually bringing the fixed assets in the warehouse to the Hoi Thong estate to mortgage."

“All are exchanged into checks that can be exchanged throughout the country.”

In Ta Yen's ears, chaotic buzzing sounds immediately rang out. He strode quickly toward Tham Tri Phi's Auditorium. Push open the hospital gate. Fallen leaves rotate in the yard. The decoration in the room remains the same as when Tham Tri Phi was still there. On the dressing table neatly placed a low-quality pearl brooch. It was a birthday gift from the first year of marriage that he conveniently bought on the side of the road that year as a courtesy. She walked very decisively. Even a small item that he once gave him, he did not want to take it with him. Ta Yen turned around and rushed straight towards the treasury. The heavy warehouse door was kicked open by him with a kick. Dust rushed down. The treasury is large, enough to hold more than half of the assets of the Marquis of Thua An's palace. At this moment, only rows of bare antique shelves remain. Even the oilcloth that lined the bottom of the chest to protect against moisture was completely wiped away. On the mahogany wooden bench placed in the middle, there is only a lonely brocade box with its lid open. That was the usual box used to store land deeds of estates and shops, neatly placed in an iron chest. Ta Yen staggered forward. Inside the box was a thin sheet of letter paper.

“For seven years, the accounts have been settled.”

"The insides have long been exhausted. The rest is just an empty corpse. I would like to give it back to Marquis and my cousin as a wedding gift."

"The mountains are high and the rivers are long. From now on, life and death will never meet again."

Every word is like a knife stabbing straight into the heart. Ta Yen squeezed that piece of paper in her hand. The tips of his fingers turned white from using too much force and then turned pale blue. The Marquis' Palace foundation that he has always been proud of. Ten miles of red page that he promised Lam Thanh Nguyet. It all turned into a resounding slap that I left behind before leaving. Ta Yen suddenly bowed people down. A large mouthful of blood sprayed straight onto Tiet Dao's paper. Bright red blood stains obscure the four words "marriage offering". The tall body collapsed onto the cold tile floor.

“Marquis——!”

When Ta Yen woke up, he was lying on the bed in the bedroom. The doctor had just finished giving him acupuncture.

"Master Marquis, this is because your anger is too much, causing your heart and blood to be exhausted. You absolutely should not get angry any longer."

Ta Yen waved his hand to tell the doctor and his servants to leave. Tham Tri Phi! He gritted his teeth, each word seemed to be forced out from between his teeth. That woman. The woman patiently endured all humiliations in front of him for seven years. The woman cried to the point of tears when he proposed to separate. It's all pretend. She already knew everything. Knowing he wanted to welcome Thanh Nguyet into the palace.
