Chapter 4 — The Lady Reestablishes Family Rules

I did not intend to let them off easily, so I walked to Tong Khinh Vu's side and helped her up from the ground. "Let's take a ten thousand steps back and say, even if this is really a Ngoc Quan Am royal conferment. According to the laws of Dai Te, the royal conferment must be worshiped on a high altar in the main hall, and on every occasion, incense must be burned and bowed." My sharp eyes suddenly swept towards Mother Ly who was cowering in the corner, trembling. "Please ask Ly. Mom, what level of noble lady are you, dare to casually take the royal gift in your hand, treat it as an ordinary thing and stuff it for a junior?" "Is this act of disrespecting the royal authority ordered by the old lady, or is it because a cunning servant like you is tired of living?" Mother Ly knelt down on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing her head. Blood immediately flowed from my forehead. "Old master, spare your life, old lady save the slave! This matter has nothing to do with the old slave!" I looked at the ugly appearance of that group of people, and suddenly the words my mother had said appeared in my mind. That day the sunlight was beautiful, my nurse taught me to distinguish the quality of jade energy in the yard. She sighed and said: "In the great families, the more flashy on the outside, the more rotten on the inside, they give birth to maggots. They value face the most, and that is also the most fatal point." "Both in the palace and outside the palace, I am tired of living. Nam Tinh, you must remember these things carefully. "Father's salary is not high, and the Quy family's children and grandchildren are debauched. In order to maintain Quy Lan Thoi's lavish and bohemian life, to fill the bottomless cave of her mother's niece, the old lady has long stopped paying attention to her face. His father's forehead was full of cold sweat. Of course he understood what this meant. If today's story spreads out of the Minister's Palace, the Emperor will blame him, in the lightest case, he will lose his position, and in the worst case, the entire family will be confiscated and beheaded. Father kicked Mother Ly's shoulder hard, her voice hoarse: "Say! Where is the real Pho Ngoc Quan Am?" Mother Ly was kicked to the ground, crying in pain, her eyes constantly glancing at the old lady and Quy Lan Thoi. Quy Lan Thoi panicked and rushed forward, intending to tear and beat Ly mama. "You cunning old slave, what are you looking at? Did you steal it yourself and bring the real Ngoc Quan Am phoenix out to sell?" 07 At this point, Quy Lan Thoi still wanted to blame someone else. I took a step forward, used the chain to block Quy Lan Thoi's shoulder, forcing her to step back. "What are you in a hurry for? Do you have a habit of being startled?" Mother Ly knew that if she took on this crime, she would definitely die. Finally, she collapsed and shouted loudly: "Master, please judge! This old slave doesn't have that courage. It's... the old lady!" "Three months ago, young master owed the casino three thousand taels of silver, and someone broke his leg. The old lady loved her grandson on her mother's side, but she couldn't find that much silver in the government's books, so the old lady... decided to take the Jade Guanyin statue to the black market to pawn it off! The lady of the National Duke's Palace used a scarf to cover the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of contempt, and whispered to the lady next to her: "What a good play. As the old lady of the Palace of Ministers, she actually brought a royal gift to pay off her grandfather's gambling debt. Such a rule is truly unheard of." The old lady's face darkened and she almost fell off her chair. Quy Lan Thoi repeatedly stepped back in fear, shaking her head frantically: "You lie! An old slave like you is spitting blood!" "Am I lying?" Mother Ly also ignored everything and took out a wrinkled pawn ticket from her chest. "This is a pawn ticket, the pawn has already been pawned. The old lady said that as long as she uses the excuse of a family dinner tonight, let the two young ladies break this fake Guan Yin statue, then there will be no more."

There is still evidence to confront!" The truth is completely clear. Tonight's chess game is not only to eliminate Tong Khinh Vu, who they always considered a thorn in their eyes, but also to hide the huge lie about arbitrarily selling the royal treasure. Tong Khinh Vu stared blankly at the pawn ticket, her whole body cold. She pleased them day and night, even willing to die for them, what in return was a conspiracy. The murder was carefully planned. Father was so angry that his whole body trembled. He suddenly turned around and quickly walked towards the old lady. "Mother, are you going to bury the entire Minister's Palace with your mother's house?" The old lady finally couldn't hold on anymore, holding her chest and panting, tears falling as she spoke. "What else can I do? You don't care about your cousin's life and death, but I can't help but care! This Minister's Palace was also built by me. What if I take an item?" I smiled coldly, looking straight at my father. "Sir Tong, according to Dai Qi's rules, selling royal objects without permission will be charged with treason. You are the current minister of the court, surely you can't even understand this law? "Father's legs were soft, almost unable to stand. 08 At this time, mother finally recovered from the shock. She has always been weak, only knowing how to cover up her peace.
