Chapter 5 — A Sister doesn't get married, neither do I

I looked at Ta Hanh's gentle and elegant appearance, and a warning bell rang in my heart. The gentler and calmer this person's expression is, the more terrifying the possessive desire hidden deep in his bones. Tieu Liet didn't know when he sneaked up next to me. In his hand, he held a plate of cinnamon flower cakes, thoughtfully handing them to me. "The royal room has just finished, I snatched the first part." I was about to reach out to receive it when suddenly I heard a shrill cry from behind: "To Truong Ninh, you caused my brother Canh Hoai to be detained, and also caused me to be sold out of the capital!" "You cannot die in peace!" I quickly turned my head. I only saw So So with disheveled hair rushing forward, clutching a dagger in his hand, stabbing straight at sister A. Everything happened so fast. Instinctively, I rushed towards sister A, intending to use my body to block her. At the same time, Ta Hanh strongly hugged Sister A in his arms, turned around, raised his arm to block the knife blow. As soon as I rushed out, Tieu Liet grabbed my waist and forcibly pulled me back. Then he kicked So So down to the ground. The dagger jingled and fell. So So was controlled by the guards, crying and laughing like a crazy person: "To Truong Ninh, do you think you've won?" "I tell you, it was the crown prince who sent me!" "He said that as long as he gets rid of you, there will be no one else in the palace's way!" The Queen Mother was furious and immediately ordered a clear investigation. The whole banquet of chrysanthemums was chaotically formed into a group. So So was escorted away. The noble ladies present were all so scared that their faces turned pale. I don't care about anything else, I immediately came to see sister A. Sister A was protected by Ta Hanh and was not injured at all. On the contrary, Ta Hanh's arm was slashed, fresh blood soaked his black sleeve. "Sir!" Sister A's voice trembled slightly, and she quickly reached out to cover his wound. Ta Hanh just lowered his head to look at her, his eyes gentle. "It's okay, it's just a skin wound." "It's good that Miss To is okay." Sister A's fingers trembled slightly. She raised her head and looked straight into his eyes. In that moment, I clearly saw that something completely new had appeared in sister A's eyes. Tieu Liet stood next to him, looking stunned, muttering: "He did it on purpose." "What?" I didn't have time to understand. "With that dagger strike, it was clear that he could have dropped the dagger directly, but he deliberately used his body to block it." Tieu Liet gritted his teeth: "This old fox, Ta Hanh, is using a torture tactic!" I thought carefully and immediately understood. Who is Ta Hanh? The ruler of the court, both literate and martial arts, how could he not be able to stop a dagger? He clearly did it on purpose. Deliberately using a wound that wasn't too serious, it left an indelible mark on Sister A's heart that could never be erased. This person is a hundred times more terrifying than what Tieu Liet said. ## 07 Phong Ba in the chrysanthemum banquet caused a huge stir. Under Dai Ly Tu's interrogation, So So revealed the truth. She is not Ta Canh Hoai's cousin, but a noble mandarin who was raised in a crocodile house in Duong Chau. Ta Canh Hoai saw her, spent a large amount of money to redeem herself, then made up her identity as a cousin and took her back to the capital. The two have long had a relationship. Ta Canh Hoai promised her an equal position as a wife, on the condition that she help him force To Truong Ninh to proactively resign. Worse yet, So So also revealed his plan. It turned out that the stepmother had accepted Ta Canh Hoai's benefits and secretly coordinated with him to arrange accommodation for So So in the capital. She also caused trouble for Sister A in the To family many times, wanting to force Sister A to divorce herself. The truth was revealed, the whole court was shocked. His Majesty was angry, and ordered that Ta Canh Hoai be stripped of his position as crown prince, forever banned from being an official, and exiled to Linh Nam military camp to do hard labor. So So suffered

imprisoned in a prison awaiting escort to the border. Her stepmother was written a retirement letter by her father and kicked out of the To family. When the news reached the mansion, sister A and I were drying cinnamon flowers in the yard. Xuan Dao recounted everything very vividly, and at the end added a sentence: "The eldest lady didn't see it." "When Ta Canh Hoai was being escorted out of the city, people threw rotten vegetables all over him along the way. It looked extremely difficult!" I clapped my hands and praised: "Deserve it. That kind of scum should rot in Linh Nam." Sister A remained calm, just calmly said: "Cause and effect retribution, heaven punishes itself." Tieu Liet climbed the wall again. This time he brought a pork trotter braised with soy sauce from West Street. Now he sees climbing walls as an everyday thing. After a day or so, my whole body feels uncomfortable. Xuan Dao even specially left a small path for him, moving the flower pot at the foot of the wall to another place. "Au Vi, look what I brought for you!" He seemed to offer a treasure, holding up the braised pork trotter in front of me. His eyes sparkled, like a hunting dog that had just grabbed its prey and brought it back. I took it, broke off a piece and stuffed it into my mouth, speaking inaudibly: "You're so happy today, did you win any battles?" "What's there to say about winning a battle?" Tieu Liet sat down next to me, lowered his voice: "I'll tell you some very good news." "After that bastard Ta Canh Hoai is completely dealt with, I'll let someone review all the bad things he did in Giang Nam." "This is about raping people's land and forcing you." "The girl from a good family became a prostitute and established her own career." "Each story has solid evidence." "Guess what happens next?" "The punishment of being exiled to Linh Nam has been revised." "He will be banished to the cold northern border region, never allowed to return to the capital." The more Tieu Liet spoke, the more proud he became, as if the tail on his back was about to curl into the sky: "If you dare to bully your sister, I will make him never see your face again for the rest of his life." Heaven.” Looking at his heroic appearance, my heart is both soft and warm. I poured him a cup of tea. "Okay, I know you're amazing."
