Chapter 4 — The Queen Mother Repays Gratitude - In This Life I Will Not Be Afraid of Confrontation

The goatee squinted his eyes, obviously not believing.

"Little lady, you should think carefully before speaking."

"My wife has a noble status, if anyone dares to harbor it, it is a great crime to destroy the family."

His voice was filled with menace. If it were me in my previous life, I'm afraid I'd be so scared right now that I'd kneel down and beg for forgiveness. But right now, I just feel funny. I am the one who crawled out from the sea of blood and destruction. I looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"This manager, are you threatening me?"

The goatee was stunned, as if he didn't expect an immature girl to dare talk to him like that.

"You can understand that."

The smile on my face deepened.

"Do you know who I am?"

The goatee frowned:

"Aren't you Tu Lang Trung's daughter?"

"Yes, but also not."

I said slowly:

"My maternal grandfather's family name is Lieu. They opened more than a dozen silk shops in the capital. People call them 'Lieu semi-thanh'."

"At the time of the Imperial Household Ministry, the lord's surname is Lieu. He is my biological uncle."

These words are half true and half false. The maternal grandfather is indeed "Liu Ban Thanh", but Lieu Thi Lang is just a relative who is eight generations away and cannot be reached. But at this point, it's enough to scare people. Sure enough, the goatee's face changed. Although An Quoc Cong's Palace was powerful, it did not dare to easily offend the Household Ministry's Thi Lang. Moreover, it is also related to wealthy families like "Lieu Ban Thanh".

"You... you're talking nonsense! How come I've never heard of it before!"

I smirked and took out a jade pendant from my sleeve. It was my mother's dowry, of top quality jade, with a delicate "Willow" engraved on it...

"Do you recognize this jade pendant?"

The goatee stared intently at the jade pendant, his face changing from blue to white. We continue to increase the pressure.

"Your family, raising a child outside, getting someone pregnant and then betraying their love, do you think no one will know?"

"Right now, that woman is missing. Your master is afraid of making a big deal out of it and affecting the engagement with the Grand Master's mansion, so he sent you out to secretly search for it, right?"

"If I tell my uncle what you just threatened me with now, guess what..."

"Can Cong An Quoc save your life?"

"Or rather, was An Quoc Cong in order to preserve himself the first person to bring your head to the Ministry of Health to plead guilty?"

Every sentence I say is like a heavy hammer, fiercely pounding into the goatee's heart. His forehead began to sweat coldly. The families behind him also began to stir uneasily. They couldn't understand how a daughter of a villager in a small, remote city could understand the secrets of the capital's famous clans so well. The goatee's eyes turned from ferocity to fear. He finally realized that he might have kicked an iron plate. One piece of iron plate was enough to break his bones and flesh. He made a thud sound and knelt down.

"Eldest lady! I have eyes and can't see Thai Son! I deserve to die!"

"Please, sir, please be generous and spare me this time!"

The families behind him also knelt to the ground one after another, kowtowing their heads like pounding garlic. My father was completely stunned. He opened his mouth, looked at me bewildered, It was like looking at a god. I looked down from above at the goatee kneeling on the ground.

"Go back and tell your master that the person he is looking for is not with me."

"Tell him to take good care of his pants belt, and also take good care of his people."

"If you dare to step even half a step into the Tu family, I guarantee that the next day, the bad news of An Quoc Cong's palace will spread throughout the capital."

The last word "get out", I used up all my strength. The goat-bearded man seemed to have been pardoned, as he rolled and crawled, leading the people away. It's like there's a devil chasing you behind. In the courtyard, silence was finally restored. Father let out a long breath, his whole body seemed to be drained of all strength. He walked up to me, his lips moved, he wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word. I don't look at you. I walked over to where the goatee man was kneeling and squatted down. On the blue stone there, a wet mark remained. It's cold sweat. Next to the sweat stain, there was a small, inconspicuous, black block of command tokens, which he must have dropped while panicking. I picked up the token and wiped the dust off it. The token is made from mysterious iron, the front is smooth. We turn it over. On the back of the order, a word is engraved. One word made my blood almost freeze—— Dong Xuong… My pupils suddenly shrank to the right corner of the token, and there was another tiny word “so it is
