Chapter 16 — As soon as I got married as a stepchild, the child hugged my leg and called me his wife

I know she's about to strike. Right in that moment, hanging by a thread.

“Who dares to touch my Fu Patriarch's mother!”

A loud shout rang out from outside the courtyard wall. Immediately afterwards, countless soldiers wearing armor, holding strong bows, rushed in like a tide. They quickly controlled all the family guards present. The leader wore silver armor, held a long spear, had a cold appearance, and had a majestic aura. He turned around and dismounted, walked quickly in front of Pho Dinh Uyen, and knelt down on one knee.

"The late general's rescue came too late, please forgive me!"

They are the soldiers and horses of the capital camp! Before being arrested, Pho Dinh Uyen actually activated the military talisman! He had already calculated everything! The situation suddenly reversed. Reinforcements arrived, completely turning the situation around. The soldiers and horses in the capital barracks are seriously trained, their movements are quick and precise. Under Pho Dinh Uyen's signal, they quickly controlled the entire yard. The family guards, along with Mrs. Pho's confidants, were all disarmed and tied up. The chaos in the hospital quickly subsided. Old lady Fu was being held by two soldiers. She still wanted to struggle, but was immediately tied by ropes and could not move. Her old face was filled with panic and unwillingness.

"Pho Dinh Uyen! You dare! I am your biological mother! You dare to mobilize troops to deal with me!" She screamed shrilly, her voice tore people's hearts.

There was no expression on Pho Dinh Uyen's face. He just walked in front of the old lady, his eyes cold.

"From the moment you colluded with 'Thien Diep', plotting to harm my daughter-in-law, and even intending to harm my family, you are no longer my mother." His voice was not loud, but each word seemed to pierce straight into the heart.

Hearing that, Old Lady Fu seemed to have been drained of all her strength, falling limply to the ground, still muttering: "It's not me, it's not me..." My tense nerves finally relaxed. The pain and fatigue in the body were like a tidal wave. I hugged Pho Can, my legs felt weak, I almost fell down. Pho Dinh Uyen's eyes were quick and his hands were quick to support me. He glanced at the wound on my leg, then looked at my clothes that were stained with the black blood of the ancient worm, a complex emotion flashed through his eyes.

“Take the lady and crown prince to a safe place to recuperate.” He commanded in a low voice to the guard next to him.

I do not refuse. Now, this place is no longer our battlefield.

“Vice lady.”

At this time, her neck was restrained by two soldiers. She stared at me, her eyes no longer cold, but with a hint of almost desperate pleading.

“That thing…” she said hoarsely, her voice filled with pain.

I looked at her. At this time, fine layers of sweat began to ooze from her body, and blue veins appeared all over her face. The poison in her body is feared to have taken hold. Pho Dinh Uyen once said that in Pho Can's mother's study, there was something hidden by her mother that could be solved.

This "her mother" is most likely her grandmother's mother.

In other words, Old Lady Fu used something left by her mother to control her.

“Take her down first.” Pho Dinh Uyen's eyes glanced at her grandmother's neck, her voice coldly commanding.

“She still has value.”

I know, Pho Dinh Uyen wants to quit Her mouth spilled out more secrets about "Thien Diep". I was helped by the guards, hugged Pho Can, and left the yard. Before leaving, I turned my head to look back. Pho Dinh Uyen was surrounded by everyone, his figure in the firelight was both tired and steadfast. After finishing dealing with this place, he still had to face the storm in the capital. Colluding with "Thien Diep", that's a big crime. The entire Fu family will be shocked by this. But after this one night, at least Pho Can can sleep peacefully. I was taken back to my hospital. Several maids immediately stepped forward, carefully helping me treat my wound and change my clothes. Pho Can in my heart finally stopped crying. He leaned against the person and asked in a low voice: "Mother, did father win?"

“Um.” I gently stroked its back, "Dad won, we're all safe."

The doctor quickly arrived and carefully examined my wound.

"My lady's leg... was dislocated when she suddenly fell into a trap, and there were signs of a fracture. Luckily, no damage was done to a dangerous place." The doctor wiped the sweat and said, "Just need to rest carefully, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk in a short time."

“What about the poison of the ancient worm?” I asked.

The doctor shook his head: "Madam, there is no ancient poison on your body. I think those ancient insects cannot really attach to it yet." We breathed a sigh of relief in our hearts. Although I was stained by the black blood of the ancient worms, I was not stung by them. It's just that the fishy smell still makes me a little nauseous. The doctor prescribed me a medicine to take internally, then treat the wound on my leg and apply the medicine carefully. Pho Can was also re-examined, it was only frightened, not poisoned, nor hurt by the ancient worm. Tormented all night, Pho Can finally succumbed and fell asleep. I lay on the bed, looking at Pho Can's sleeping face. Reminisce about a bloody night of murder recently. In my heart, I feel strangely calm.
