Chapter 2 — At the Royal Banquet, I Apologize to My Husband

4 Lao Dao is my man, he only obeys my orders. When returning to the Royal Palace, everything in the palace was still as usual. What happened at the royal banquet has not spread here yet. I went to my two children's hospital first. Ta Hien and Ta Linh are twins. When giving birth to the children, I had severe bleeding and almost lost my life. The two of them were physically weak from a young age. In order to take care of them, I lost my body. Hair falls out in handfuls, and I also get headaches. When they were children, Ta Hien and Ta Linh were naughty, causing the horse to panic and almost being trampled under its hooves. The subordinates did not have time to react. I risked my life to rush in to save the children. They were not injured at all, but I was trampled by a horse and broke my leg. Yet, I don't know when, the two children I hold in my arms see me as an enemy. "My husband said that farmers, industrialists, and merchants are the lowest, so mother, people of low birth should not show up so casually." "Everyone laughed at our talented father for marrying a loving woman, causing us to be ridiculed as well." One time they were bullied at a banquet, both of them were covered in dust. I was just about to take them to get justice. Ta Hien's eyes turned red and he pushed me away. "It's all your fault! I don't need a mother like that!" Ta Linh also cried loudly and shouted. “If it wasn't for you, our mother should have been Aunt Tran!” Those sharp words were like a knife stabbing straight into my heart. Tran Uyen Quan immediately pulled the two children into his arms and gently comforted them in a gentle voice. She raised her head, pretending to care about me. “Madam, children speak without thinking, please don't pay attention.” I didn't miss the smug look that flashed through her eyes. For the first time, I felt confused. For this house, is it worth it? Now we have the answer. But after all, they are also my flesh and blood. So we decided to give them one last chance, and also give ourselves a choice. I met two children. They are playing around. Seeing me walk in, he was silent. Standing quietly to the side, their faces were exactly like their father's - cold and emotionless. I asked decisively: "Mother is about to leave the Grand Palace, do you want to come with me?" 5 After listening to me, Ta Hien and Ta Linh's eyebrows furrowed tightly. The two glanced at each other. Ta Hien opened his mouth, his voice clearly showing impatience. "Mother, if you want to go, go ahead, but we still have to study and can't follow you." Ta Linh also nodded slightly in agreement. Even though I had long predicted this would be the outcome, their attitude still made my heart a little colder. They didn't even ask why I left, nor did they care where I was going. No worries, no worries. I gently closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Okay, if you want to stay at the Ta family, I won't force you." "I've sewn a set of clothes for each of you. I'll have someone bring them over later. You two are getting older, so you should know how to take care of yourself." Since I don't care, I don't bother to explain much. Leaving behind two sets of clothes is considered the end of this mother-child relationship. 6 Coming out of the children's monastery, we went to Phuc Tho monastery. I intentionally brought along many people. Phuc Tho Vien is the residence of Ta Tu Khanh's mother. Ta Tu Khanh's father once worked as a royal historian and was an upright and upright person, but passed away early due to illness, leaving behind his wife and a boy under ten years old. The Ta family was originally poor. Lady Ta worked hard to raise Ta Tu Khanh alone, enduring many hardships. When I got married, I replaced the entire mansion and bought more servants. But after many years of fatigue, Mrs. Ta's legs were no longer flexible. Later, he could not even walk, and spent most of his time at Phuc Tho monastery burning incense and worshiping Buddha. Her legs are not convenient, but she is very good at torturing others. For example, she forced me to kneel on the ground to pick up Bodhi seeds. The blue stone bricks were both cold and hard. After picking them up, I could barely stand. Or force me to copy Buddhist scriptures. If I don't finish, I won't be able to eat. As long as I'm a little unhappy, she will coldly say bad things. "You are a businesswoman, not worthy of my son." "You haven't been raised like a lady since childhood. I also did this because I wanted to sharpen your temperament." "The servants can do these things, but doing it yourself shows your sincerity." She is the mother-in-law, I am the daughter-in-law. Before, for Ta Tu Khanh, I could only endure. But now, we don't have to suffer anymore. We entered Phuc Tho monastery. Lady Ta is sitting in the yard basking in the sun. Seeing me coming, her face immediately darkened. Before I could speak, she spoke in a reprimanding voice: "I heard that you dare to argue with Tu Khanh because it's your birthday, you're wrong! What about your birthday? Being a wife can't be arbitrary!" "Your murderous aura is too heavy, quickly come and kneel before the Buddha. Only when I tell you to stand up can you stand up!" Her voice was loud. But I didn't move, just quietly looked at her. Mrs. Ta angrily slammed the table. "What are you still standing there for? Don't leave quickly!" I suddenly burst out laughing. Gently nodded. Then he turned around and ordered the servants behind him to carry the Buddha statue in the room. The Buddha statue is almost half a person tall. Cast entirely in pure gold. It's a rare item. Mrs. Ta was stunned. "What are you doing? You dare to commit blasphemy and disrespect!" "Where are you? Stop it!" But our people are many, no one dares to stop us. That statue was originally bought by me, now that I'm leaving, of course it has to follow me. Before it protected the Ta family, now it only protects me. I just looked at Mrs. Having finished speaking, he did not look back, ignoring the screams behind him.
