Chapter 6 — The night I left, even the stones in the garden were taken with me

I just smiled slightly. Say nothing. Of course I'm happy. But what's more important. That we can finally live our own lives. As for Tham Nghien, does he regret it or not? I absolutely don't care. 04: The plight of the Marquis's palace The days of the Marquis of Vinh Ninh's palace. It's really not comfortable at all. The first day Lieu Nhu Mi moved into the main courtyard. She was dumbfounded. In her imagination. The main courtyard must be a place of exquisite carvings, luxurious decorations, and sparkling pearls. But the reality is. The room was empty. Except for a bare bed. A table with chipped corners. Some old chairs. Then there's nothing left. The wall is empty. There is not even a carpet under the floor. Just the wind blows. Dust was flying blindly. This is no longer the main palace of the Hau palace. It's truly poorer than a servant's room. Lieu Nhu Mi almost fainted on the spot. She ran to find Tham Nghien crying. Tham Nghien also frowned, his heart full of discomfort. He also didn't expect it. To Uyen delivered things so cleanly. Not even a single nail was left behind.

"What are you crying for?"

Tham Nghien said impatiently.

"If you don't have it, go buy it."

"The road is the Marquis's palace."

"Is it possible that we still lack that bit of silver?"

The mouth says so. But when you actually go to the payment room, you receive the money. Tham Nghien only knew. In government records. Yet there are only a few thousand taels of silver left.

"Why so little?"

Tham Nghien's face darkened and he asked the bookkeeper. Mr. Account Manager replied miserably:

"Master, in the past, most of the expenses in the palace were covered by the eldest lady's dowry. Now the eldest lady's dowry has been withdrawn, and there is only this much left in the account. Moreover, in recent months, the expenses in the palace have been very large, and the birthday party alone cost quite a lot..."

Tham Nghien was stunned. He had always thought that the foundation of the Marquis's palace was very solid. Who would have thought that all these years... It was all supported by To Uyen's dowry?

"No way."

Tham Nghien spoke coldly.

"The Marquis Palace has an estate and a shop, how can there be only that little silver left?"

"Master, our estate has not had a good harvest for many years, and the business of the stores is just normal. Each year, the profit is not much." The book manager replied. "Previously, I still had the Eldest Lady's dowry to compensate, so I could still withstand it. Now..."

Behind him he did not continue speaking. But the meaning was too clear. Now To Uyen's dowry is gone. The Marquis Palace fell into a situation of not having enough income. Tham Nghien's face was extremely unsightly. He always thought that To Uyen's dowry was just weaving flowers on brocade. Unexpectedly... That is the economic pillar of the Hau palace.

"Okay, I know."

Tham Nghien angrily waved his hand.

"First, spend two thousand taels of silver to renovate furniture for the main courtyard and main hall."

"We can't let the guests come, we don't even have seats."

Two thousand taels of silver. Want to buy furniture and decorations for the main hall and main courtyard. Absolutely not enough. Only the set of royal pear wood tables and chairs that To Uyen brought with her when she got married in the past. It's already worth more than two thousand taels. Lieu Nhu Mi took that money, bought a set of cheap purple wooden tables and chairs, then bought a few more ordinary decorations, reluctantly filling it up. main street and main institute. But looking at it, it's extremely poor. Completely incomparable to its former glory. Grandma just came to look. Immediately got angry.

"What kind of rags is this?"

The woman pointed at the new table and chairs and was so angry that she was shaking.

"Where is the previous set of royal pear wood tables and chairs?"

"Where is the gilded screen?"

"Are you using these things to deal with me?"

Lieu Nhu Mi felt so sorry for herself that her tears kept falling.

"Mother, there's not much silver left in the government's books... for now, we'll just have to use it for now. Later, we'll gradually change to something better..."

"Temporary?"

The grandmother laughed coldly.

"I am officially the Marquis of the Vinh Ninh Marquis Palace."

"How can you use such tattered things!"

"If it were spread outside, people would think that our Marquis Palace has fallen into decline!"

"It's all because of that bastard To Uyen!"

The more she talked, the angrier she became.

"He dares to transfer all the dowry!"

"The heart is truly too cruel!"

"I told you before that he's not a good person."

"On weekdays, pretend to be gentle and obedient."

"Turns out he's an ungrateful person!"

Lieu Nhu Mi bowed her head. My heart is also full of resentment. At first she thought. Just become a Marquis. You can enjoy happiness. What she received was a mess.
