Chapter 7 — The night I left, even the stones in the garden were taken with me

There is no silver in the palace. Lower people are difficult to manage. Grandmothers are even more difficult to serve. Days like these. It's not as good as when she became a concubine. Tham Nghien returned. Again, my grandmother nagged me for a long time. My heart is even more sad. He also didn't expect it. To Uyen's dowry is gone. The Marquis' Palace was in such dire straits. He could not lower himself to look for To Uyen to ask for money. I can't even bow my head and admit I was wrong.

"Okay, mother, stop talking."

Tham Nghien frowned.

"When it comes to money, I will think of a way."

The mouth says so. But I want to think of a way. It's not easy. Tham Nghien went to find his friends to manage. But those people were all as clever as foxes. Just heard about the situation in the Hau palace. Everyone found every reason to refuse. Previously, when To Uyen was still in the palace. The Marquis always spent generously. Everyone wants to make friends. Now that To Uyen has left, the Hau palace is clearly on the decline, who is willing to lend them money anymore? When the wall falls, everyone pushes. It has always been that principle. Tham Nghien was rejected everywhere he went, making his heart even more frustrated. It's true that the house leaks and it rains at night. Not long after, a manor named after the Hau palace encountered a natural disaster and lost all food. Not only did it not make a profit, but it also had to spend more money to save money. Immediately after that, two shops in the city also had an accident, the shopkeeper grabbed the money and fled, causing the Hau palace to lose a large amount of money. Books of the Marquis's residence. Finally it ran out. Every day she sighed and sighed, scolding Lieu Nhu Mi for being useless, and scolding To Uyen for her cruel heart. Lieu Nhu Mi managed the house to the point of being dizzy, the servants refused to listen, even the monthly salary was about to stop being paid, everyone in the palace was anxious and worried. Every day, when Tham Nghien returned from court, he was faced with a mess that was so annoying that it was unbearable. There were times when he couldn't help but think. It would be great if To Uyen were still here. These things happened before. He never had to worry. To Uyen always arranges everything in order. The house is always neat and tidy. Silver is always full. He just needs to focus on his career as an official. That thought just appeared. Was forced down by himself. He is known as Vinh Ninh Marquis. Is it possible that you can't live without leaving a woman? To Uyen is gone. He can only live better. The mouth says so. But life is indeed getting more and more difficult. Before, every meal was filled with delicious seafood. Now we have to calculate whatever we spend. In the past, every time the season changed, new clothes were sewn. Now even grandmothers who want to sew a new cloak have to hesitate for a long time. Previously, there were many people in the palace who were idle. Now we have to start cutting people. The servants saw that the situation was not good. Some people leave. Some people steal. The Hau Palace is increasingly chaotic. Lieu Nhu Mi did not know how to manage a housekeeper. Now I'm even more confused. Every day I just cry. It's annoying for Tham Nghien to see her. I don't want to go back to the backyard more and more. He even started to feel it. It turns out that To Uyen was also very good before. Although she doesn't say much. But understand. Makes others feel secure again. She takes care of everything in the house. Never let him worry. Not like Lieu Nhu Mi. Outside pamper yourself and complain about your fate. Then I don't know what to do. That day, Tham Nghien returned from court. As soon as I entered the door, I heard my grandmother scolding Lieu Nhu Mi.

"Refuse!"

"Even a house can't be managed!"

"What's the use of me keeping you?"

"Even the servants can't handle it, everything in the warehouse has been stolen!"

"Are you a dead person?"

"If Su Uyen was still here, this absolutely wouldn't have happened!"

Hear the words "To Uyen". Tham Nghien's footsteps stopped. Lieu Nhu Mi cried and said:

"Mother, don't be angry anymore... I've already sent someone to investigate... and before sister To had a dowry to compensate, of course it would be easier to manage. I don't have money in my hand, so of course the servants won't listen..."

"Do you still dare to argue?"

The grandmother became even angrier.

"If you don't have money, don't you know what to do?"

"To Uyen also knows how to earn money to make up for her family."

"Why can't you do it?"

"As I see it."

"You are so useless!"

Tham Nghien didn't want to hear any more. He turned around and walked out.
