Chapter 4 — The Donkey's Red-Eyed Husband reconciled, I cried, signed my name, and then cleaned out the treasury of hundreds of thousands

Knowing that the holy order to confiscate the family property was inherently fake. So she plans together and plans together. Not only is it easy to escape. But he also stole the hundred-year-old inheritance of the Marquis of Thua An's palace. What a cruel heart. What a cruel woman! Ta Yen suddenly propped himself up and sat up. The blood and energy in his chest surged. One million taels of white silver. Several large chests of land contracts. That is the biggest support of Thua An Marquis's palace. It was the capital that allowed him to promise Thanh Nguyet a ten-mile wedding in red!

“Where are you?”

"Prepare the horse! I want to personally go to Jiangnan to bring back that evil woman!"

Ta Yen's voice was hoarse, filled with hatred. The young man knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

“Master, your body…”

Ta Yen grabbed the medicine bowl and threw it hard. The porcelain bowl shattered and covered the ground. The butler panicked and ran into the interior, holding an envelope high in his hand.

“Master, an urgent letter from Miss Lam has arrived!”

The corner of Ta Yen's eye twitched. Thanh Nguyet. He immediately grabbed the envelope and tore open the wax seal. On the paper is Lam Thanh Nguyet's elegant handwriting. She said she had arrived at the service station on the outskirts of the capital. Early tomorrow morning you will be able to enter the city. At the end of the letter, every sentence and every word carries a gentle coddling expression.

"Brother Yen, in your book you said you had prepared a big surprise for me. What kind of surprise is that?"

Ta Yen's knuckles that were clutching the letter gradually turned white. Now the Marquis's treasury is so clean that even a mouse that gets in has to crawl out with tears in its eyes. What did he use to surprise Thanh Nguyet? What was used to spread those ten miles of red pages? What did you use to organize a lavish wedding that shocked the whole capital? I'm afraid that even the money to rent a carriage to go out of the city to pick up people tomorrow, he will have to run to the next room to scrape together the money.

“Maquis…”

The butler knelt next to the pile of broken porcelain pieces, his voice trembling.

“Master, the shopkeepers that you invited to the palace yesterday have come again today.”

"Barkeeper Ly of Tran Bao Cac, shopkeeper Trieu of Nghe Thuong Vu Y ward, and shopkeeper Vuong of Vong Giang Lau..."

“They're all waiting in the lobby right now.”

"They said they wanted to confirm with you the items for the wedding, and at the same time asked the Marquis to pay three parts of the deposit in advance."

Hearing this, Ta Yen's body suddenly staggered. I almost couldn't stand and fell down. The main road is Thua An Marquis. Yet today, several merchants came to my door to force me to pay. It's a bit harsher to say, it's like being surrounded by creditors in front of the government's door. Outside the door, a series of hurried footsteps sounded again. A family member held a gold-plated envelope in both hands and staggered in.

“Urgent letter eight hundred miles away from Hui Thong Giang Nam front page!”

The head of the money counter at Hoi Thong Giang Nam personally sent a letter: Lady Tham Tri Phi used the seal of the Marquis of Thua An Palace to withdraw all eight hundred thousand taels of silver that the Marquis deposited at the money deposit. At the same time, he also mortgaged six prime shops in Jiangnan of the Marquis' Palace and borrowed an additional twenty thousand taels of silver. In other words, she not only wiped out all the available silver of Thua An Hau's palace. Before leaving, she also used the Marquis's assets to borrow a huge debt of 200,000 quantity. One hundred thousand taels of silver were taken away by her. As for the debt of twenty thousand taels, it was left on the head of Thua An Marquis's palace.

“Tham Tri Phi!”

Those two words were clenched by Ta Yen and forced out from between his teeth. Several shopkeepers sitting in the lobby heard the sound of smashing things inside and looked at each other. Treasurer Ly of Tran Bao Cac lowered his voice.

“What happened to Marquis?”

Shopkeeper Trieu of Nghe Thuong Vu Y ward pulled the corners of his lips, his face full of sarcasm.

“Who knows.”

“Yesterday, I boldly said I wanted to hold a unique wedding in the entire capital.”

The butler came out of the study room. Sweat dripped from his forehead. He kept clasping his hands with several people.

“Barkeepers, I'm really sorry.”

"Master Marquis is not feeling well. He will not receive guests today."

"The wedding thing... we'll discuss it another day, and that's it for another day."

These shopkeepers have been busy in the business for many years, how can they not see the truth in this palace?
