Her belated concern for me is no longer uncommon. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a knife flashed before his eyes. Ve Lang Tu was full of jealousy, the dagger in his hand stabbed straight at me—“Bui Tac Du, you go to hell.” But before his dagger even touched the corner of my shirt, he was coldly kicked away by Giang So Uyen next to him. “Bang!” Ve Lang Tu fell heavily to the ground. Giang So Uyen ran to the front of the people to protect me, coldly saying: "Bring Ve Lang Tu down and take him to the big prison." The soldiers controlled the traitor leader among the exiles. After hearing the order, they all responded yes, and quickly held Ve Lang Tu's hand tightly. Ve Lang Tu's chest was so painful that he trembled and tears fell. He stared at the appearance of Giang So Uyen blocking Bui Tac Du's body, and suddenly cried out unwillingly: "Jiang So Uyen, do you think it's useful for you to protect him?" "My master once said, in this life you will never learn how to love others, your feelings will forever be lacking." "Bui Tac Du has broken up with her, as long as he is no longer bound, he can never turn back again, she will never be able to break a mirror and heal him..." Giang So Uyen suddenly covered my ears. Her breathing was rapid, as if afraid that I would believe Ve Lang Tu's words. She looked at me and quickly explained: "Tac Du, what he said is not true. I can already realize my feelings, I love you..." But I didn't wait for her to finish, and interrupted her. My eyes looked straight into her eyes and said seriously: "Ve Lang Tu is right, I can't turn back in this life, and I can't be with you anymore." Giang So Uyen was completely stunned, her face blank. In the silence, Ve Lang Tu was dragged away, still calling Jiang So Uyen's name intermittently. Almost crazy. I feel a bit sorry to hear that. After watching Ve Lang Tu leave, he looked back at Giang So Uyen. I asked her: "If I hadn't become friends with you, would Ve Lang Tu be this crazy?" "He likes her, so much that he doesn't care if she likes him or not. If the two of them were together, he would definitely fulfill his duty as the Giang family's aunt, and would not be like me, determined to separate." Giang So Uyen was pulled back to reality by my assumption, instinctively shaking her head, chopping nails and iron and saying: "No." I thought she was thinking. agree with my hypothesis. But the next second, my hand was held tightly by her. Giang So Uyen's eyes were deep, her words were firm. "I will not marry you." I froze. Giang So Uyen held her chest with one hand, hearing her heart pounding in her chest, all her thoughts were no longer hidden. She told me: "Tac Du, the first time I saw you, I wanted to take you as my own." "At that time I didn't understand what love was. I thought I just needed to tie you to my side, so I married you." "Now I know, that is loving you." I heard her confession, the first reaction was not emotion or vibration. But the eyes looked towards Tu Thanh Hoan who was silently guarding beside me. I pulled my hand away, took a step back, and grabbed Tu Thanh Hoan's hand that had been holding a knife all year long, carrying thick calluses. "Lord Giang, but in your place, I don't feel love." "Right now, I don't love you anymore." I felt Tu Thanh Hoan's fingers stiffen, she carefully and cautiously grasped them, as if she didn't expect me to proactively approach her. I couldn't help but clench my fingers and raised my head to look at Giang So Uyen. In front of the two women, I frankly said: "Compared with having Lord Giang's love, I am now more worried about whether General Tu will be heartbroken because of the relationship between me and you." "In the future, it would be better for us to keep our distance." After saying that, I stopped paying attention to Giang So Uyen's reaction and pulled Tu.

Thanh Hoan walked out the door. I didn't turn my head, of course I didn't see what was behind me, Giang So Uyen used her strength to hug her chest. "Tac Du, I'm still too late, right?" The mumble was very low, no one heard, only a trail of blood spilled out from the dull pain in her chest, dripping to the floor. This roundup captured many people. After interrogation, the leader of the traitor force was found, a man of fallen honor who had been banished from the capital. Because he was dissatisfied with being ridiculed and was good at provoking people's hearts, this person gathered many exiles to rebel. After the trial, both she and her treasonous forces, as well as Ve Lang Tu, the person who provided her with poison, were sentenced to death. Giang So Uyen treats traitors equally, and Ve Lang Tu is also unbiased. After the trial was over, she specially came to see me, seriously promising: "Not one of those who have hurt you will escape." My path was blocked by her, I went directly around her, not even giving her a single glance. "I am very busy, Mr. Giang, please do not disturb me in water management." "Next time, I will survey the water level situation with the water management officer day and night, determining the height and thickness of the dike. If you still come, anymore, I won't see you." I don't make excuses.
