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's face was full of jealousy, the dagger in his hand stabbed straight at me—“Bui Tac Du, you go and die.” But before his dagger even touched the corner of my shirt, he was coldly kicked away by Giang So Uyen next to me. “Bang!” Ve Lang Tu fell heavily to the ground. Giang So Uyen ran to protect me and said coldly: "Bring Ve Lang Tu down and take him to the big prison." The soldiers controlled the traitor leaders 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 that 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't turn back anymore. She will never be able to reconcile with him again..." 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 wrong. I can already realize my feelings, I love you..." But I didn't wait for her to finish, and interrupted her. I 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 are together, he will definitely fulfill his duties as the Giang family, and will not be like me, determined to separate." Giang So Uyen was pulled back to reality by my hypothesis. He instinctively shook his head and said, "No." I thought you were agreeing with my hypothesis. But the next second, my hand was held tightly by her. Giang So Uyen's eyes were deep and her words were firm. “I will not marry you.” I was stunned. 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.” When I heard her confession, my first reaction was not emotion or vibration. But the eyes looked towards Tu Thanh Hoan who was silently guarding beside me. I withdrew my hand, took a step back, and grabbed Tu Thanh Hoan's hand that held a knife all year round, carrying with it thick calluses. “Lord Giang, but in your place, I don't feel love.” “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 Jiang's love, I am now more worried about whether General Tu will be heartbroken because of the relationship between me and you." “We'd better keep our distance from now on.” Having finished speaking, I no longer paid attention to Giang So Uyen's reaction and pulled Tu Thanh Hoan out the door. I didn't turn my head, of course I didn't see behind me, Giang So Uyen used her strength to hug her chest. “Tac Du, we're still too late, right?” The mumbling was very quiet, no one heard it, 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 killer was found

The leader of the traitor force was a fallen noble 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 and seriously promised: "Not a single 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 glance. "I'm very busy, Lord Giang, please don't disturb me with water treatment." "Next time, I will work with the water management officer day and night to survey the water level situation, determine the height and thickness of the dyke. If you come again, I will not see you." I don't make excuses.
