Chapter 6 — The Mother Who Wouldn't Go Hungry

"You're a big man, just staring at the woman in the backyard whether she's eaten or not, whether she's fat or thin, don't you feel embarrassed?" "I..." "Me what me?" I interrupted him: "You were in the library for three months, you didn't even show your face, when you came back you wanted to hit me with thirty lashes." "Bui Canh, the night we got married, you touched your conscience and said, did you really leave because you criticized me for not being disciplined?" His face suddenly changed. That night I was too lazy to expose him. He left because he lifted her veil on the wedding night and discovered that I wasn't as beautiful as he imagined, so he made an excuse to run away. Now exposed by me in front of everyone, Bui Canh's face turned blue and then white, it took a long time to choke out one sentence: "Father!" "Yes, I am the father." I smiled and narrowed my eyes: "Father cooks well, father can make the mother laugh, what about a noble and filial child like you? What have you done for your mother?" Bui Canh couldn't say a word. Bui Hau looked at everything and suddenly laughed coldly: "Okay, very good. Miss Lam, if you are unconscious and unable to wake up, don't blame me for not remembering your old love." "Tomorrow I will invite the elders of the clan to come and discuss the matter of retirement."08Retirement wife? These two words hit the ground, and the whole yard was quiet. The gloating expression on Concubine Lieu's face almost overflowed. Bui Canh bowed his head, not saying a word to help his mother. I look at the model. Her hands shook a little, but her expression was unusually calm. "Bui Kinh Chi." When she called his name, her tone was as if she were saying something unrelated to her: "Are you sure?" Marquis Bui laughed coldly: "Why, are you scared?" "Afraid?" The mother suddenly burst into laughter, that laughter carried a cheerfulness I had never seen before. "I'm scared for you." "I'm afraid you've forgotten, twenty-three years ago, when my father gave the list of dowry to the Marquis, how many things were listed above." "Twelve estates, eight shops, thirty thousand taels of white silver." She said word by word: "If it hadn't been for the support of my dowry these past few years." Help, the dignity of the Marquis Palace has long been lost." Bui Hau's face changed. Aunt Lieu didn't know the reason, but she was still there stirring up the wind: "Master Marquis, you're using your dowry to threaten people, you can't be scared by her." "Shut up!" Bui Hau suddenly shouted loudly, scaring Aunt Lieu and made her whole body tremble. I coldly stood on the outside looking in, my heart was as clear as a mirror. On the outside, the Marquis Bui family appeared to be dignified, but in reality, in recent years, the Marquis' Palace had not received enough expenses, and it was all the mother-in-law who used the dowry to make up for the gap. He gave the housekeeping authority to Concubine Lieu, but just wanted to use Concubine Lieu's hand to force the mother to continue taking money. But stupid people like Concubine Lieu really think they can rely on their bravery to rise to the top. Bui Marquis left with a pale face. Bui Canh followed him, not even looking at his mother from beginning to end. Concubine Liu left last, turned around at the door, and fiercely glared at me and the mother. "Don't be proud, Marquis still has me in his heart." The mother picked up the cold tea cup and slowly took a sip: "I don't know if he has you in his heart or not, but he definitely has my dowry in his heart." "Guess what, if it weren't for my few estates and shops, the Marquis would still be able to support more than twenty maids in your house." do you?” Concubine Lieu's face immediately turned pale. 09 Early the next morning, my mother took me out of the Marquis Palace and went straight to Kinh Trieu Doan's house. She beat the drum to complain and filed a lawsuit. On the form, it was clearly written that Bui Kinh Chi's favored concubine destroyed his wife and appropriated his wife's dowry. According to Dai Yen law, the wife can ask for a divorce and recover the entire dowry. The news spread to the Marquis' Palace. Bui Hau's family was in the study room discussing with the strategist

How to force the mother to hand over the estate land contract? Hearing this news, he sat down on the chair and his tea cup fell and broke. Aunt Lieu was still beside her crying: "Master Hou, Thi Lam is crazy, how dare my sister..." "Shut up!" Bui Hau slapped her in the face, knocking her to the ground. "It's all a good thing you did! If it weren't for you instigating it, why would I say the words of retirement!" Aunt Liu covered her face, not daring to believe that the man in front of her turned around faster than flipping through a book. Unfortunately, it's too late. Kinh Trieu Doan personally led people to the Marquis Palace, sealed the palace records, and inventoried the dowry. If you don't look it up you won't know, but when you look it up it will startle people. The estate in the mother's dowry had been secretly sold by Marquis Bui in four places over the past few years, in exchange for money to buy a house for Concubine Lieu, for Bui Canh to spend in the library, and for himself to host a party. The total amount converted into silver is eighteen thousand taels. According to Dai Yen law, a person who usurped the dowry of the government's wife not only had to repay it in full, but was also beaten forty times and exiled for three years. Marquis Bui knelt on the public road, not even half of the majesty of the Marquis. He had both a runny nose and tears in his eyes and begged his mother. "Madam, a day of love between husband and wife, please forgive me this time." The mother stood on the street, looking at him, her eyes as if she were looking at a stranger.
