Chapter 3 — At the Royal Banquet, I Apologize to My Husband

7 Finally, I returned to my institute. Actually, as soon as I decided to leave, I started preparing. Including dowry, housing and arrangements for servants. It's just that there's nothing much to arrange. Most of the furniture in this palace was brought by me when I got married. As a business woman, my strongest point is having money. Currently, what we need to consider is what to keep and what to leave behind. We act very quickly. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Tran Uyen Quan standing in the middle of the yard. As if waiting for me. I frowned. Haven't had time to speak yet. She was supported by the maid. "Thud" he knelt to the ground with a "thud" sound. "Madam, on your birthday, I accidentally twisted my leg. Tu Khanh and the two children just came to visit me out of politeness. I did not intentionally ignore your birthday. If you have any resentment, please vent it on me!" 8 I quietly looked at Tran Uyen Quan. She is very beautiful. Gentle and weak, the whole body has a relaxing aura. Her father was a sixth-rank man, also of a small lineage. The current court has female students. Her father brought her there, hoping she would make friends with the noble ladies of the court. But with her background, women's studies were not very prominent. She has talent but doesn't have a chance to show it. Until the female student organized a spring banquet abroad. Coincidentally, Quoc Tu Giam also attended. The two sides were separated by a tent to compete in literature. In Quoc Tu Giam, Ta Tu Khanh stands out the most. After the ladies failed one after another, it was Tran Uyen Quan's turn. At first no one paid attention to her. Who would have thought that her talent would be comparable to Ta Tu Khanh. Surprising everyone. That competition helped her become famous as the most talented female in the capital. From then on, Ta Tu Khanh fell in love with her. The tide is open. The story of the two of them was once a beautiful anecdote. If I hadn't interrupted, I'm afraid they would have become a couple. In the eyes of others, Tran Uyen Quan is an elegant and talented woman. But in my eyes, she is no different from other backroom women. For example now. Tran Uyen Quan knelt there, tears in her eyes, no matter how you looked, it looked like I was bullying her. I sighed softly. “You get up.” Tran Uyen Quan did not move. Kneeling like that, tears kept falling. “If ma'am doesn't forgive me, I won't get up!” I laughed sarcastically. “Okay, I forgive you, can you stand up now?” Tran Uyen Quan stiffened. As if he didn't expect me to say that. But she continued to kneel. "Madam, I know you're angry. I sincerely want to apologize. If you want to hit or scold me, I won't resist!" The more she spoke, the more tears fell like rain. I almost laughed out loud. Knowing clearly she was acting. So I don't bother to say anything. Just silently watched her continue the drama. Indeed. Outside the door, Ta Tu Khanh's voice quickly rang out. “What are you doing!?” 9 9 Ta Tu Khanh is back. Because I returned to the palace first by horse-drawn carriage, he borrowed the same carriage to return to the palace. During that time there was a slight delay, so it only arrived now. But he was not the only one who returned. The two children also heard the news and followed closely behind Ta Tu Khanh. Even Mrs. Ta, who rarely left the hospital, was brought by her servants. I couldn't help but glance at Tran Uyen Quan. She's really thoughtful. Causing a scene like this is no different from intentionally staging it. People watch come one after another. The more Tran Uyen Quan cried, the more people felt sorry for him. Ta Tu Khanh looked at me with complicated eyes. Bend over to help Tran Uyen Quan up. "What's up?" he asked. Tran Uyen Quan nestled close to him, wiping his tears. So soft and weak, so pitiful. "I heard Linh Nhi say that ma'am wanted to leave the Ta mansion. I knew that ma'am was still angry about the wedding that day, so I specially came to apologize to ma'am!" “I know that ma'am always has misunderstandings with me, there's no need to leave in anger, if anyone needs to leave this place, it should be me!” She pretended to leave. The others saw this and immediately became impatient. Ta Hien quickly blocked in front of her. "Aunt Tran, don't go! If my mother wants to go, just go, it has nothing to do with you! A mother like that, it's okay if I don't have one!" Ta Linh rushed forward and pushed me. Making me stumble back a step. "Why are you so cruel! Do you have to force Aunt Tran to leave to be satisfied?" Lady Ta sat on a chair and pointed at me: "You vandal! You dare to move my Buddha statue, you're really making a mess!" Looking at them all angry and criticizing at the same time, I only felt a cold feeling in my heart. But I quickly suppressed all my emotions. Anyway, we're about to leave. There's no need to be sad because of these people anymore. I withdrew my hand from the maid's hand that was supporting me. Step in front of Tran Uyen Quan. Calmly asked: "Miss Tran, you said you came to my hospital today specifically to apologize, so what are you apologizing to me for?" 10 Everyone was stunned. Not sure what we are planning to do. Tran Uyen Quan paused for a moment, sobbingly replied: "Due to the lady's birthday that day, I accidentally twisted my leg. Tu Khanh and the two children came to visit me out of propriety, not intentionally disregarding the lady's birthday." I'm still as calm as ever. "You said it wasn't intentional, so why did you come to apologize? Especially coming to admit your mistake, isn't it just admitting that you're at fault?" Tran Uyen Quan stiffened slightly. The others also looked at each other. Yes, the argument is so clear. If it's really not at fault, then why apologize? Tran Uyen Quan hastily explained: "I... I just heard Linh Nhi say that madam wanted to leave Ta residence, thinking that madam was angry about that day, and suddenly panicked..." She bit her lip and sobbed again. A look of extreme humiliation.
