Chapter 1 — The Husband and Little Uncle Fake the Disaster, My Sister and I Clean Up the Marquis' Palace

When I woke up, the butler was kneeling on the ground crying loudly. In his hand, he held two jade pendants that were broken into pieces, crying hoarsely: "The eldest master and the second master... are no more!" As soon as the model heard it, she fainted on the spot. The maids and maids also cried in one piece. I sat on the chair, looking at the group of people trying to act out this act, my nails digging deep into my palms, yet not a single tear fell. Because I've already died once. In my previous life, I held these two broken jade pendants and cried for three days and three nights. I served my mother, took care of the Marquis' Palace, shouldered debts, prevented enemies from reaching my door, and finally coughed up blood and died in this very courtyard. Before my death, I heard the Duke laughing and saying in the study that those two bastards were not dead at all, they just escaped to enjoy the happiness. They threw the entire mess back to us. Use me and my sister as cannon fodder. I stared at the pair of jade pendants in the butler's hand and suddenly burst out laughing.

“Stop screaming.”

The whole room was immediately stunned. I stood up, looked around at the group of people pretending to wipe away tears, my voice was not loud, but every word seemed to be hitting the ground hard:

“Whoever dares to touch a coin from the Marquis Palace today, I will make that person lie flat and walk out.”

The hall was so quiet that it resembled a graveyard. Sister Tieu Ngoc Xu stood by the door looking at me, her eyes so bright that they frightened others. She has also been waiting for this sentence all her life. This time, I won't be secretive. I want to make this Marquis Palace so that not even dust and ashes remain. When I woke up, the butler was kneeling on the ground crying. In his hand, he held two jade pendants that were broken into pieces, crying hoarsely: "The eldest master and the second master... are no more!" The mother immediately tilted her head back and fainted, and the two maids couldn't help it either. The whole room cried in unison, some people shouted for the doctor, some people ran to help the mother, some people screamed that God has no eyes. I sat on the chair without moving. I looked at those two pieces of jade pendant, and there was a loud noise in my head like it was exploding. Not tragic. Because I've already died once. In my previous life, after hearing this sentence, I fainted on the spot because I cried so much. After that, I kept my secret, served my mother, took care of the Marquis's palace, shouldered debts, blocked enemies, and couldn't sleep a full night's sleep for three years. In the end, I coughed up a mouthful of blood and died on the bed, not even a maid beside me carrying water. Before I died, I heard the Duke laughing in the study, saying that Thua Duc and Thua Trach living in Giang Nam was not bad, and told my old bones to try to hold on for another two years. Against your ancestors. They are pretending to be dead. The three of them had long finished planning, throwing the entire rotten situation of the Marquis Palace to me and my sister, while they escaped outside to have fun. I stared at the pair of jade pendants in the butler's hand and suddenly burst out laughing. The butler raised his head to look at me, tears still hanging in his eye sockets, but his expression was stiff.

“Young lady…”

“Stop screaming.”

I stood up, my voice was not loud, but each word was like a nail driven deep into the floor: "Today, who dares to touch a I will make that person lie flat and get out of the Marquis's coin." The lobby immediately became quiet. The clan members who initially cried the most intensely, one by one, fell silent and signaled each other with their eyes. I glanced around at them. The son of the three chambers put on a smiling face and took a step forward: "Tri Vi, please suppress your sadness and accept the events. The Marquis's property is so big, how can a young daughter-in-law like you be able to support it?" How about letting us..." I turned to look at her: "Let your son take care of it? How much money did your son lose last year gambling? Do you need me to tell everyone the exact number now?" The third room's detective's face immediately turned pale. The person next to me wanted to speak up, so I directly interrupted: "The princess is still here, the mother is still here, the eldest aunt is still here, is it your turn to intervene? Aren't you guys too impatient? You haven't even worn the funeral cloth yet, and you already miss the matter of dividing the house? No one dared to answer. After I finished speaking, I turned around and left, out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of sister Tieu Ngoc Xu standing by the door. She didn't cry.
