Chapter 13 — The night I left, even the stones in the garden were taken with me

"She..." Tham Nghien looked at me, wanting to stop talking. "Her handwriting is very beautiful."

"Thank you so much, Marquis." My voice is still calm.

"Before... why didn't I know she knew how to write?" Tham Nghien asked.

"Master Marquis has never asked before." I replied calmly. "Besides, in the eyes of Marquis, there is only the sound of Concubine Lieu's piano, how can he pay attention to my words?"

Tham Nghien's face was somewhat unsightly. To Uyen still blames him.

"To Uyen, what happened before was something I did wrong." Tham Nghien was silent for a long time, then finally forced out an apology. "I shouldn't treat her like that, I shouldn't..."

"You don't need that." I interrupted him. "I've forgotten what happened. Marquis doesn't need to take it to heart."

"Forgot?" Tham Nghien looked at me, his heart suddenly tightened. "Have you really... forgotten everything?"

"What if not?" I smiled slightly. "Do I have to keep hating my whole life? Isn't that too tiring?"

I don't have to hold grudges. But I really don't care anymore. No more love. Then there is no more hatred. But those words reached Tham Nghien's ears. Again, especially jarring. She really doesn't care anymore. Ten years of love. If she says she forgot, can she forget?

"To Uyen, do you really have no regrets left?" Tham Nghien's voice was a bit tense.

"Remember what?" I raised my eyebrows. "Remembering the times my grandmother caused trouble, or the times Concubine Liu provoked me? Or lingering on the retirement letter that Marquis himself threw to me in front of everyone?"

"Tham Nghien, people cannot be too greedy." I looked at him, my tone calm. "You chose Lieu Nhu Mi, chose your own face, then you have to suffer the consequences. It's too late to turn back now."

I turned around and stepped onto the carriage. The carriage slowly rolled away. Leaving only Tham Nghien standing in place. His face was pale. It's too late... 'y. . It's too late. He was the one who pushed her away. Missed the best version of her. Tham Nghien stood in front of the palace gate. Standing for a long time. Regret in my heart. Like a rising tide. Almost wanted to drown him. When he returned to the Hau palace. It was dark. Lieu Nhu Mi walked over to greet him. Want to talk to him. But he pushed him aside.

"Don't bother me." Tham Nghien said coldly.

Lieu Nhu Mi stood there stunned, looking at his cold back, tears silently falling. She knows. Tham Nghien's heart began to lean towards To Uyen. Impossible. She can't sit around waiting to die. To Uyen has stolen all her glory. We can't let her steal Tham Nghien too! Lieu Nhu Mi gritted her teeth, a cruel glint flashed in her eyes. 08: The Hau Palace is in turmoil, chickens fly and dogs bark. After the palace feast. Tham Nghien became even more silent. Every day after court ended, he locked himself in his study. Very rarely go to the backyard. For Lieu Nhu Mi. It's also getting colder and colder. Lieu Nhu Mi was both impatient and angry. But there is no way. She wants to please Tham Nghien. But Tham Nghien basically didn't care. She wants a housekeeper. But there was no silver in hand. The servants also refused to listen. The house is a mess. Her grandmother started to talk to her more and more every day. Scold her useless. Saying that she's not even as good as To Uyen's finger. Every day Lieu Nhu Mi washes her face with tears. Life's suffering is unspeakable. Her grandmother scolded her for a small matter. Lieu Nhu Mi really couldn't bear it anymore. Speak up and argue back.

"Mother always criticizes me for not being good, so what about To Uyen being good? Haven't I finally been retired by the Marquis? Besides, there's no money in the palace, no matter how good I am, it's useless!"

"You still dare to argue!"

She was so angry that she was shaking.

"Whose fault is it that there is no silver in the palace?"

"If it weren't for you inciting the Marquis to retire To Uyen, would the Marquis's residence still exist today?"

Lieu Nhu Mi was speechless.

"I tell you, if the Marquis continues like this, your position as Marquis will no longer be possible!"

The lady snorted coldly. Throw your sleeves away. Lieu Nhu Mi stood still in place. So sorry for myself that tears wouldn't stop falling. She regrets it. She originally thought that as long as she became a Marquis, she could enjoy all the glory and wealth. I didn't expect it to end like this. No silver. No rights. I still have to suffer frustration every day. It's not even as good as when I was a concubine. But it's too late to regret now.
