Chapter 5 — As soon as I got married as a stepchild, the child hugged my leg and called me his wife

A terrifying thought suddenly entered my head.

“Your previous wife…” I opened my mouth with difficulty, “was she really sick?”

Pho Dinh Uyen's body suddenly stiffened. He doesn't answer me, but his silence is the best answer. It turns out that's it. It turned out that the white moon light, who was respected as a god by the entire Thai palace, was not at all sick or dead, but died from being murdered. But Pho Dinh Uyen, seeing his wife being murdered with his own eyes, was powerless to do anything, and even had to pretend to outsiders that she was sick. How helpless and miserable he must be. I suddenly understood a little why he was so cold towards Pho Can. It's not a lack of love, it's a fear. I'm afraid that the more you care, the more it will bring the other person a life-threatening disaster. He is using coldness to protect his son.

“Give me the command token.” I reached out to him.

He looked at me warily.

“Give me.” I emphasized my voice, "You take this, the goal is too big, I am just a housewife, who will doubt me, don't worry, I want Pho Can to live more than you."

Pho Dinh Uyen looked at me, his eyes filled with struggle. A long time later, he placed the command token back in my hand.

“Don't let them find out about you.” That was the only thing he said before leaving.

I held the command token that still carried his temperature, but my heart was as cold as ice. This murky puddle is much deeper than we imagine. I originally thought that if I married here, what I would have to face would be a group of slaves loyal to the old master, those who are arrogant and hidden in the dark. Unexpectedly, what we have to face is a force so huge that even Pho Dinh Uyen is afraid. I lowered my head to look at the strange totem on the token, looking like a butterfly bathed in fire. Just as I was about to put it away, Thanh Hoa with a panicked look ran in from outside.

“Madam, it's not okay!”

"The old lady is here, she's bringing someone with her, she's already at the front door!"

Deputy old lady. Pho Dinh Uyen's biological mother, Pho Can's great-grandmother. He is also the person behind placing Vinh ma ma next to me, using it to threaten me. She did not come early, nor did she come late, just as I had just taken over the housekeeper's position, a murder happened in the palace, so I rushed in at night. Those who come are not good. I properly hid the command token in the hidden pocket of my sleeve, my expression restored to its usual calmness.

“What are you panicking about?” I glanced at Thanh Hoa faintly. "If you come, just open the door to welcome you."

"But ma'am, the old lady has an aggressive aura, and also brought along many people. It's said that... it's said that it's a lover's talk, causing harm to people, wanting to come and establish rules for you, this new lady!" Thanh Hoa was so impatient that she was about to cry.

“Establishing rules?” I laughed coldly, "Okay, I want to see what rules she plans to set for me."

I adjusted my shirt and walked out the hospital door myself. Outside the door, a crowd of people stood, dark. The leader was an old woman wearing a dark red brocade robe with the word longevity, her hair neatly tied up without a stray strand, wearing a jade gold phoenix hairpin. Her appearance was very well maintained, but between her eyebrows, a fierce look was clearly visible. She is Mrs. Fu. Behind her, there is still Her mother and family had an extraordinary aura, obviously they were all her confidants. As soon as she saw me, she was too lazy to even say small talk, so she shouted directly: "You are Tham Tri Van? How bold! Marrying into the Pho family's palace, on the first day of my life, I dared to shout, beat, kill, and kill, causing a murder! How could my Pho family's hundred-year-old reputation be tarnished by an independent woman like you!" What a big hat that falls down. I bowed my knees slightly and performed a ceremony that was neither salty nor bland.

"Daughter-in-law please comfort mother, mother came here late at night, I don't know why?"

“For what?” Old lady Fu burst out laughing, "You still dare to ask me? I ask you, where is Vinh mama? I sent her to teach you the rules, what have you done to her?"

"Dear mother, Vinh's mother is suspected of being involved in plotting to murder the Grand Deputy's wife. Her daughter-in-law has temporarily detained her, waiting for the Grand Deputy to handle her." My voice is calm, neither arrogant nor flattering.

“It's all nonsense!” Old lady Fu slammed her stick on the ground, "Mother Vinh is my person, loyal and devoted, how could she plot to harm Can brother! It's clearly you, to compete for power, intentionally slandering and harming you! Where are you!"

The two burly ghosts behind her immediately took a step forward.

"Catch this evil-hearted woman for me! The family will serve you!"

Very good, this is to directly use personal image. Thanh Hoa standing next to me was so scared that his face turned white.
