Chapter 10 — The Queen Reorganized the Marquis Palace

Bui Hanh narrowed his eyes maliciously.

"Now you are listening closely to So Lenh Nghi's words."

So Nghien clenched his fists.

“At least you didn't make me swallow moldy rice.”

Thanh Hoa chuckled. The old man tapped his staff and finished.

“Report to the official.”

The Bui family manager was really scared.

“Old man, think carefully.

The Bui family and the Marquis still have a clear engagement agreement." I leisurely pulled out the divorce paper from my sleeve.

“It's over now.”

Bui Hanh stared blankly at the page.

“Are you telling the truth?”

I placed the kiss note on the table.

“Bui The Tu, please sign.”

Bui Hanh still stood there. So Nhu's eyes were glued to the divorce paper, a flash of panic flashed through her eyes. She's not worried about me canceling the engagement. She was just scared because if I withdrew from the engagement, she would forever lose a sword to threaten and oppress me. Bui Hanh suddenly burst out laughing.

“So Lenh Nghi, you will have to kneel and beg me to take back what I said today.”

I ask: "To sign, or not to sign?" He grabbed the pen, gritted his teeth and scratched the name.

“From now on, the engagement between you and me is considered annulled.

What happens to the Marquis Palace tomorrow? Don't show your face in front of the Bui family's gate and cry. I neatly folded the divorce paper into my chest.

“Don't worry, the one who has to cry will never be me.”

When the pests arrived, the Bui family manager's knees were as weak as noodles. The first page was escorted to the middle of the yard. As soon as he saw the pile of moldy rice, he collapsed and knelt down. He couldn't stand even three questions, so he immediately opened the pig's hooves: the Bui family manager received the rice, the bookkeeping department divided the money, So Nhu took the bribe and signed the paper to reduce the rent. So Nhu cried and swore that she was wrongly accused without even knowing it. The first page raised its neck and cursed at her.

“Second lady, when you raised your hand to receive the check, you didn't say that.

You also said that Eldest Lady's pile of rules and regulations will sooner or later be thrown away, and tomorrow the Marquis Palace will be yours to decide." So Nhu leaned forward to scratch him, but was pushed away by So Nghien. She conveniently slapped So Nghien in the face.

“Even you joined in to bully me.”

So Nghien's face was slapped to one side and she stood stunned for a long time without moving. I looked at him coldly. In the past, the original owner was scolded by him, pushed by him, and forced by him to surrender his power. Today's slap back on his face is not considered a reward for his life. It can only be considered a prelude. The news of the divorce spread outside, and the capital was bustling with excitement for three consecutive days. Some criticized me for being too harsh to the point of forcing the other person to cancel the engagement. People spread the news that the Bui family secretly stole rice and was caught red-handed, so they were so embarrassed that they became angry. More and more people were waiting to watch the Marquis's funny show. Mrs. Tham sent me an invitation to come to the palace to see the apricot blossoms. Thanh Hoa held the invitation and said suspiciously: "Miss, Mrs. Tham chose this moment to invite you, did she want to back you up or did she want to watch the excitement?" I replied: “Both.”

“So are you going?”

“Go.”

In the middle of Tham Phu's apricot garden, a dozen ladies and young ladies gathered together. As soon as I turned in, the sound of chatter and laughter suddenly interrupted for a second. Mrs. Tham waved her hand.

“Lanh Nghi, sit next to me.”

I'm at peace. A young lady wearing a coat The purple felt embroidered with brocade smiled sarcastically: "Miss So has been so busy lately, auditing, reporting to officials, resigning, everything is done smoothly and smoothly. We ladies, even if we are educated, cannot imitate you." Thanh Hoa stood behind me, her eyes almost rolling back. I leisurely picked up the cup of tea.

“What's the point of learning those things?

If there are no rotten books in the house, there will never be a place to use martial arts." The lady in purple and gray clothes frowned. Mrs. Tham smiled appreciatively.

“This statement is truly profound.”

Another lady interjected and asked: "Is it rumored that Miss So Nhi has been detained? In the past I have often heard people praising her for her kindness and honesty." I replied: "Being kind and being a good housekeeper are inherently two completely different things." The purple shirt lady teased again.

“But if a woman is too meticulous in her accounting, it is inevitable that people will be afraid.

The Prince gave up the engagement, I don't know if it was because he was afraid of this." I glanced at her.

“If you like obscure and messy books, then just marry over there and enjoy it.”

She was so angry that she slammed the teacup on the table.

“Miss.

. . !” Mrs. Tham leisurely said: "What Lan Nghi said is not wrong. The Bui family is truly lacking a daughter-in-law who doesn't know how to read books." A few giggles rang out at the banquet table. The purple-shirted lady's face turned red and she remained silent, not daring to argue again. From outside the apricot garden suddenly came a loud argument. A woman rushed in to report.

“Madam, Bui The Tu and Miss So Nhi are coming.”

Lady Shen raised her eyebrows interestingly.

“Let them in.”

So Nhu wore a pure white cloak, standing next to Bui Hanh, looking like a fragile pear flower buried in a snowstorm. Bui Hanh walked in and the first thing he did was bow and bow to Mrs. Tham.

“Today I took the liberty to come and play, this junior came because of Linh Nghi.”

I put down the tea cup. So Nhu looked at me with red tears.

“Sister, the rumors outside are getting harder and harder to hear.

I know you resent me, but after all, we are siblings. Can you be so generous as to say to outsiders that the matter of the estate is actually just a misunderstanding?" I asked back: "Does the government also misunderstand?" She bit her lip tightly. Bui Hanh helped.

“The first page has bowed its head and confessed, the manager of the Bui family will have to pay for his crimes.

Nhu Nhi is still too young and not familiar with books, so she was deceived by the traders. Why do you have to bite forever and not let go? Mrs. Tham waved her teacup with her hands, her demeanor very leisurely as if she was enjoying a good play. I calmly replied: "When she received the bribe, she didn't say she was young. When she opened the door to take Administrator Zhou's nephew into the palace, she didn't say she was young. When she forced me to hand over power, she didn't say she was young." So Nhu sobbed and cried: "Sister, I have been detained, estranged from my grandmother, and misunderstood by my younger brother. What else do you want me to do?" Thanh Hoa could no longer bear it and cursed the pig's hoof.

“Pay, admit wrong, shut up.”

The ladies quickly covered their mouths with handkerchiefs to suppress their laughter. Bui Hanh coldly scolded: "Master is talking, the maid is absolutely not allowed to be rude." I glared him.

"You're no longer my fiance, stop bothering my people."

Bui Hanh's face was extremely awkward. So Nhu suddenly knelt down and fell to the ground. All eyes in the apricot garden turned towards her.

“Sister, I beg you.

As long as you are willing to let me go, I will willingly leave the Marquis Palace and return to the estate to pray for my grandmother's blessings." The purple-shirted lady smacked her lips and mumbled: "The matter has come to this point, Miss So should calm down." I asked So Nhu: "Which estate are you planning to go to?" She was stunned.

“What?”

“The southern estate is being inspected for warehouses, the western estate's books have been sealed, and the northern front page was just escorted away yesterday.

Where are you going? Her face changed color. Bui Hanh answered for him: "Go to Thanh Thuy Trang next to the Bui family's mansion. It's peaceful there." I laughed out loud.

“Thanh Thuy Trang is not the estate of the Marquis.

That is the Bui family's secret food storage." Bui Hanh's eyes suddenly flashed with cold light.
