Chapter 1 — After the separation, General Quy knelt and asked me to look at him one more time

My husband, Tran Bac General Luc Hanh, today welcomed the concubine he raised in the private courtyard in the west of the city into his palace and became his wife. Outside the courtyard, bright flower lights and laughter echoed in the sky. I'm the only one still sitting quietly in the room. We clearly hear the sound of bamboo silk echoing from the lobby. I also clearly heard the wife holding the bride's hand, laughing until she couldn't close her mouth: "My heart, don't be afraid! Her father and brother are about to die in the Northern Cuong. The Tham family has not yet finished worrying about themselves, a girl with not enough feathers like her, how dare she touch you!" I also clearly heard my good husband, wearing a dazzling red dress, standing in front of the new room door, softly promising to his charming concubine: "If she dares to do it If you're in trouble, immediately take him to the family temple and be friends with the ancient green light Buddha for the rest of his life! "They are all waiting for me to get angry. They think that the Tham family is about to collapse and from now on they can trample on me at will. I'm afraid that right now I'm still trying to figure out how to strip the last value from my body, and then generously give me a place to live in the palace, so I can drag myself around and serve them. How... "merciful" indeed. My eyes fell on the letter in front of me. On it was my father's familiar handwriting: "The enemy has surrendered. Father and brother have won a great victory. Tomorrow escort the prisoners to the court and present them to the palace." I slowly raised my head and looked at the ridiculous scene in the inner house. The corners of the lips curled slightly. I burst out laughing. The night was as black as ink, covering every corner of Tran Bac general's palace. Only the front yard had bright lights and torches, as bright as day. The sounds of bamboo silk and flutes mixed with flattering laughter passed through layers of hospital walls, stubbornly entering our ears. My close concubine is Thanh Hoa, her small face is red with anger, her eyes are also red. "General... how dare he... how dare he insult you like that!" She clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her palms. "Thanh Hoa, the tea is cold." My voice was very soft, yet it made Thanh Hoa's whole body tremble. She quickly raised her head, the tears in her eyes finally couldn't be held back any longer, rolling down her cheeks. "Miss... it's come to this, how can you still drink tea! The woman out there... the woman out there is about to ride on your head!" That's right. About to ride on my head. Her name is Lieu Nhu Yen, she was once the beauty of a castle in the capital. Three years ago, at a drinking party, Luc Hanh fell in love with her as soon as he met her. He did not hesitate to spend thousands of gold to redeem himself, then took her to a private hospital in the west of the city to raise her. During those three years, he kept it a secret. Until half a month ago, the war in Northern Cuong fell into a tense situation, and news came back that the Tham family's army, led by my father and elder brother, was besieged by the enemy. In just the blink of an eye, the situation in the capital changed. The Tham family, once filled with endless guests, now has a lonely front door, with few carriages. And Luc Hanh... My good husband... Finally revealed his claws that had been hidden for so long. He no longer pretends to be polite to me. No longer pretending to respect the Tham family. He began not returning to the palace at night, and began to openly take Lieu Nhu Yen with him to every banquet. Then on this very day, in the name of "exploiting the leaf canopy for the Luc family", regardless of my dignity - the head of the family - he ordered someone to use a small palanquin to welcome Lieu Nhu Yen from the side door into the palace, setting her up as his wife. That's not just humiliating me. It's also trampling on the dignity of the entire Tham family. They thought very carefully. They know that at this time, the Tham family itself is still difficult to maintain, and basically no longer has the strength to stand up and support us. They also know, a female tiger

A general like me, once he loses the support from his mother's family, he can only grit his teeth and swallow blood, swallowing this humiliation into his stomach. "Miss, we can't just ignore it like that!" Thanh Hoa gritted her teeth. "The bodyguard that the old master and young master left behind before going out is still there. Let's rush out! Even if we have to risk our lives, we are determined not to leave that scoundrel in peace!" I put down the tea cup and looked up at her. "What's the point of rushing out?" "Tear that vixen's face to pieces! Ask the general clearly why he is so ungrateful and ungrateful!" I laughed. The cold smile reached the bottom of his eyes. "And then what?" "Let his personal soldiers arrest us, accuse me of 'aggressive jealousy', and then let you, in the name of 'disrespecting the superiors, disrupting the family', justly and righteously throw me into the family temple?"
