Chapter 4 — The New Marriage Digs the Truth

“It's all my fault, I can just go.” She turned and ran out of the yard. Luc Thua Nghien took one look at me and then chased after me. The whole yard of relatives looked at me. My mother held my hand. "Ninh Ninh, go home to stay for a few days." I smiled. "I'm not staying. I'll still eat food, still receive gifts. Today the one who lost face is not me." Kieu Yen muttered: "What's the use of being strong-willed, isn't your brother-in-law still chasing after other people?" I looked at her. "If you say one more thing, I'll tell you why you borrowed money from me last month." Kieu Yen's face immediately turned pale. My wife turned her head: "What did you borrow money for?" Kieu Yen didn't dare look at me. This meal was finally quiet. When I returned to the Luc family, Trieu Lam was sitting in the living room waiting for me. Lam Chi leaned next to her, his eyes swollen as if he had just finished crying. Luc Thua Nghien stood by the window, his back facing me. Trieu Lam threw a stack of photos on the tea table. "Kieu Ninh, you are really good. At the party, my mother made my son lose face, and even tolerated the Kieu family to bully Chi Chi." I picked up the photo. In the photo is the scene where Lam Chi runs out of the Kieu family's yard, Luc Thua Nghien chases after her and helps her. The shooting angle was chosen very cleverly, it looked like I was forcing people to the point where they couldn't survive. I put the photo down. "Who took the photo?" Trieu Lam smiled coldly: "Do you still care who took the photo? Now the ladies in Giang Thanh have all seen it, saying that the new bride of the Luc family cannot tolerate other people." Lam Chi whispered: "Auntie, don't blame the young lady. She only cares too much about Mr. Thua Nghien." I looked at her. "Try calling 'Mr. Thua Nghien' one more time." Lam Chi cowered towards Trieu Lam. Trieu Lam was angry: "You still dare to threaten him!" I said: "She dares to do it, why don't I dare say it?" Luc Thua Nghien turned around. "Kieu Ninh, you are really too much today." I nodded. "It's not too much for you to bring her to my mother's home party. It's too much for me to take her away. Luc Thua Nghien, did Lam Chi give you this scale?" Trieu Lam was so angry that he stood up. "You have no education!" "Mom." Luc Thua Nghien called her back. Trieu Lam pointed at me. "From today on, the books in the house do not need him to touch. Hand over the key to the warehouse. Although Chi Chi does not have a title, she understands things a hundred times better than him, first let Chi Chi help me manage it." Aunt Tan's face changed. I looked at Luc Thua Nghien. "You think so too?" Luc Thua Nghien was silent for a few seconds. "You just entered the door, it's really not suitable to manage too much." Lam Chi said in a low voice: "Young lady, don't misunderstand, I'm just helping you share. When you're in a better mood, I'll return it to you." I put the key on the tea table. Trieu Lam snorted. "Looks like I'm reasonable." I said: "Aunt Tan, bring three boxes of jewelry, two boxes of medicinal materials and four paintings that were just put into storage this afternoon." Trieu Lam frowned: "What do you want to do?" I said: "That's the Kieu family's dowry. I can hand over the keys to the Luc family, and you don't have to bother Miss Lam with my things." Lam Chi's face changed: "Young lady, I didn't mean that." "Best not." I looked at her. “If not, I will show you how it will burn your hands when pawning someone else's things.” Luc Thua Nghien asked: “Do you have to make such an unsightly noise?” I asked back: "Isn't the person who wins the key the one who is unsightly?" Trieu Lam's voice was cold: "The dowry placed in the Luc family is the Luc family's reputation. Who do you want to guard against when you move back and forth?" I said: “Beware of thieves.” The living room immediately fell silent. Lam Chi's tears fell. "Young lady, are you scolding me?" "If anyone wants to steal, I will scold that person." Luc Thua Nghien stepped in front of me. "Kieu Ninh, sorry my mother." I raised my head to look at him. "No please." He said.

voice: "Don't force me." I smiled. "What can you do? Kick me out? Or raise Lam Chi to be the main wife? Luc Thua Nghien, your grandfather is still alive." This sentence was like a knife, stabbing him right in the place he was most afraid of. Luc Thua Nghien's face completely sank. Trieu Lam shouted shrilly: "It's a betrayal! It's a betrayal!" Luc Thua Nghien grabbed the set of keys on the tea table and threw them to Lam Chi. "Let Chi Chi take care of things in the house first." Lam Chi hugged the set of keys, tears of pride that he could not hide. I looked at that set of keys and didn't show my hand. Aunt Tan led someone to move my dowry boxes into the west yard. When passing by Lam Chi, the corner of the box suddenly hit hard, causing a gap to open. Inside rolled out an old copper card. Lam Chi lowered his head to look, his face immediately changed. She quickly looked away. I bent down to pick up the copper card and put it back in the box. Luc Thua Nghien saw her reaction and asked: "Chi Chi, do you know it?" Lam Chi quickly shook his head. "I don't know, I just feel like it's old." I closed the box. "Old things also have uses." Lam Chi's hand tightened the keys. That night, she did not cry again. Half a month later, the Luc family held a charity auction party. Trieu Lam called me into the dressing room and pointed to an old gray tuxedo.
