Chapter 2 — After Hearing My Heart's Voice, I Made the Future Gods of the Powers of the Future Ruined

Everyone's eyes turned to Tieu Tan Uyen. He put down the wine cup and stood up to bow. His expression was very calm, but I noticed that the way he looked at me had changed. The hatred from before had disappeared, replaced by a kind of subtle incomprehension. Maybe he's thinking: Has Lac Uyen Tinh's mind been damaged by poison?

"In my palace there is indeed a female chef who is skilled in making peanut bowls. If Miss Lac likes it, I will of course offer it."

His voice was as clear and cold as a stream of water, not sounding happy or angry.

“Thank you, Lord Tieu.”

I smiled until my eyes widened, as sincere as an idiot. The Emperor immediately decided on the spot:

"Then I'll be your boss. That female chef belongs to Miss Lac."

I happily thanked him, then returned to my seat. As soon as she sat down, Princess An Duong, Princess Trieu Nhuoc Le next to her, immediately leaned closer and lowered her voice:

“Lac Uyen Tinh, is your mind poisoned?”

“No poison.”

"You've liked Tieu Tan Uyen for two years, everyone in the capital knows. Today is such a good opportunity, you don't ask for four marriages but instead ask for a female chef?"

I thought for a moment and seriously answered:

“The people are truly beyond heaven.”

Trieu Nhuoc Le's eyes looked at me like he was looking at a mentally retarded person. I don't explain. But Dong Tuyet's heart exploded in my head. 【Young lady didn't ask for four kisses! She actually asked for a female chef! Could it be that she heard my heart? Impossible, impossible... But the way she looked at Tieu Tan Uyen had really changed. Before, I wanted to swallow people into my stomach, but today it was like looking at a plate of rotten food.] I raised the wine glass and took a sip, the corners of my lips curling up slightly. Dong Tuyet, you don't need to guess anymore. We've all heard it. Thank you for saving my life. After the palace banquet ended, Tieu Tan Uyen sent his butler to chase after me, saying that the next day Lord Tieu would personally come to the palace to pay his respects to my father. Why did he come to our house? Tieu Tan Uyen said he could do it. Three days later, he actually came to the palace to visit my father. Outwardly, it is said to be "discussing the matter of worshiping a teacher". My father, Lac Sung Vien, was a military general with a mind as straight as a horse's intestines. Hearing that Tieu Tan Uyen wanted to accept me as a student, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth:

“Master Tieu is willing to teach this young lady, that is his blessing!”

I stood behind the screen listening and just wanted to roll my eyes. Father, do you know that this guy will destroy our whole family in the future? Tieu Tan Uyen's voice is as gentle as jade:

"General Lac has said too much. Ling Ai is smarter than everyone else. At the banquet on the Upper Plains that day, she responded very naturally, which is truly rare. Even His Majesty praised her endlessly. He especially instructed me to accept her as a disciple."

Is it the Emperor's decree? I was stunned. Incorrect. How could the emperor suddenly care about who taught me to read? It was Tieu Tan Uyen who took the initiative to ask for instructions. He wanted to put me right under his eyelids. The answer quickly emerged in my heart. He's testing me. Testing to see if I really don't like him anymore, testing to see if there is any more value in using him. He needs a powerful in-law relationship. The general's daughter The government is the best ladder to help him climb higher. Nguyet Khinh Yen can give him warm affection and tenderness, but cannot give him power and status. So he just wrote in a letter to Nguyet Khinh Yen:

“I will definitely marry her into the door.”

Just in front of me playing the role of a man who "lost love". He wants to take over both sides. Unfortunately, I, Lac Uyen Tinh, absolutely do not act as a backup option, let alone become a step for others to step on.

“Uyen Tinh, come out here to meet Mr. Tieu.”

Father's voice pulled me back to reality. I step out from behind the screen and perform the ritual:

“Student Lac Uyen Tinh, pay your respects to Mr. Tieu.”

Tieu Tan Uyen looked at me with deep eyes.

“Miss Lac, there is no need to be so polite.”

His tone was extremely gentle, so gentle that it made my scalp prickly with cold prickling. Because we know, this gentleness is all fake. Dong Tuyet's heart sounded again.
