Chapter 16 — The night I left, even the stones in the garden were taken with me

Tham Nghien looked at me, was silent for a moment before speaking. "To Uyen, what happened before was that I was wrong. I was blind and disappointed you. I know I was wrong, can you... give me another chance?"

"Let's go back to the Marquis's mansion, okay?" He looked at me, his eyes filled with pleading. "From now on, I will never be like that again. The position of mother of the Marquis Palace will forever be yours. On Lieu Nhu Mi's side, I will handle it. From now on, everything in the house will be decided by you."

He spoke very sincerely, and also brought some condescension. If it were before, when I heard these words, I would definitely be moved to tears. But now, there is no wave in my heart.

"Are you finished talking?" I looked at him, my tone calm.

Tham Nghien paused for a moment then nodded.

"Master Marquis's good intention, I accept it." I said calmly. "But I won't come back."

"Why?" Tham Nghien was impatient. "To Uyen, I've already apologized, what else do you want me to do?"

"Tham Nghien, please understand clearly." I looked at him, my eyes serious. "I'm not angry at you, I really don't want to go back anymore."

"That Phu Hau, I have lived for ten years, suffered resentment for ten years. Now it is very difficult for me to step out. Life is so free, why do I have to go back?"

"Just because of your apology, I have to go back and continue serving your whole family, continue to suffer resentment? Tham Nghien, are you taking yourself too seriously?"

My words are very straightforward, without any mercy. Tham Nghien's face was sometimes white, sometimes red.

"I know I made you suffer a lot of self-pity in the past, I will make it up to you in the future." Tham Nghien quickly said. "I'll treat you well from now on, really."

"No need." I shook my head. "Now I live very well, I don't need your compensation."

"Tham Nghien, you go home. Don't come again in the future. We have already separated, so we should keep the distance of those who have separated. Each person lives his life well, does not bother each other, that is good for both."

I gave the order to send the guests off. Tham Nghien looked at my resolute appearance and knew that saying more would be useless. His heart was both bitter and bitter, and filled with regret.

"To Uyen, do you really... not give me even one chance?" His voice trembled slightly.

"No more chances." I replied calmly. "A broken mirror cannot be repaired. Once broken, it is broken. No matter how well it is mended, there will still be cracks. I don't want to repeat the same mistakes again."

Tham Nghien was silent for a long time, then finally stood up.

"I understand." His voice was very soft, carrying loss. "But I won't give up. Su Uyen, I will prove to you that I have really changed."

After speaking, he turned and left. Looking at his lonely back, I raised my tea cup and took a sip. Whether he changes or not, that's his business. It has nothing to do with me. Thanh Hoa walked in, a gloating look on her face. "Miss, you are so powerful! The Marquis has humbled himself to beg like that and yet you are still unmoved!"

"What's touching?" I smiled softly. "Good horses don't eat old grass. Let alone rotten grass."

"That's right!" Thanh Hoa nodded continuously. "The young lady is so talented these days, what kind of person wouldn't look for her Okay, why do I have to go back and suffer."

I said nothing. Love story. It's too early to turn a new page. Right now, I just want to focus on building my career and living well. Men only slow down my speed of earning money. 010: Career reaches its peak, the glory of the To family As the days go by, my business becomes more and more prosperous. Not only did we open more stores in the capital, we also brought business to neighboring cities. Our makeup, brocade and spices have become indispensable choices of the nobility. Even the royal palace uses our products all year round. The Queen summoned me to the palace many times, discussed business and women's matters with me, and our relationship became increasingly closer. With the Queen as my support, my business will go more smoothly. No one dared to come and cause trouble, and officials everywhere treated me extremely politely. I also established my own commercial branch — Uyen Hoa commercial route. The merchant traded in many fields such as brocade, food, makeup, jewelry, books..., quickly becoming one of the most famous merchants in the capital. To Uyen's name also became a legend in the capital.
