Chapter 8 — At the Royal Banquet, I Apologize to My Husband

Tran Uyen Quan lamented her misfortune, marrying a useless husband, having to take care of her disabled mother-in-law, and having to raise two stepchildren. Ta Tu Khanh regretted looking at the wrong person, marrying an insecure woman, causing his family to fall apart. I don't care about the quarrel between them. Soon my birthday will come. The third prince specially came to congratulate. It plays for a long time. When leaving, I sent you to the door. Right outside the door, we met Ta Tu Khanh again. 21 Ta Tu Khanh did not come alone, he also brought Ta Hien and Ta Linh. The two children looked down, not daring to look at me. Only Ta Tu Khanh was full of sincerity: "Minh Suong, I was wrong before." "I will immediately retire Tran Uyen Quan. Can you give me another chance?" An endless coldness arose in my heart. I have never seen him as hateful as he is now. "Ta Tu Khanh, Tran Uyen Quan is still pregnant with that child. According to the day, she is about to give birth. Are you sure you want to retire her?" Ta Tu Khanh's face flashed with disgust. I loved you so much before, but now I hate you so much. “That woman makes the whole family uneasy, what if I retire her?” "Moreover, I don't lack children, Minh Suong. Hien Nhi and Linh Nhi you gave birth to are both good children, having them is enough." Looking at his appearance like this, I just feel extremely nauseous. Not wanting to get involved any further, I turned around and went back into the palace. Just as the big gate closed, someone ran from far away and called out: "Thank you, sir! Your wife is about to give birth!" I suddenly felt very sarcastic. That year I gave birth to two children, Tran Uyen Quan caught a cold, Ta Tu Khanh left me in the pain of labor to run to visit her. At that time, it felt like a hand was squeezing my heart, the pain made it hard to breathe. Now it's Tran Uyen Quan's turn to be born, he runs to congratulate me on my birthday. The wind has turned. Tran Uyen Quan, the humiliation and suffering I experienced that year, have you felt it now? 22 Tran Uyen Quan eventually gave birth to a son to Ta Tu Khanh. The story of Ta Tu Khanh saying he wanted to retire her the other day was just empty talk. He and Tran Uyen Quan have been involved for many years, everyone knows that because of his reputation, he will not easily retire his wife. If I'm willing to go back, maybe he'll risk trying again. But now that Tran Uyen Quan has given birth to his son, he absolutely does not dare to take risks. The two of them seemed to be tied together. It's just that their days are now even more miserable. Since being demoted, Ta Tu Khanh's benefits have become less and less. The semi-mansion was able to exchange a lot of silver, but he was still not willing and wanted to find a way back. Therefore, he took out most of the money to pay for bribes and find relationships. The remaining amount was used to buy medicine for Mrs. Ta, to buy jewelry for Tran Uyen Quan, to take care of daily living expenses - all of which had to be frugal with every penny. Poverty makes love fade away. No matter how deeply you love, arguments will wear you down. I occasionally meet Tran Uyen Quan at some parties. At that time, I was an honored guest invited to sit in the front seat, and she could only quietly nestle in a corner, unnoticed. Due to not being properly cared for while giving birth, her face is now haggard and her body is out of shape. There is no longer any elegant, elegant, and fragrant atmosphere like before. She is also reasonable and does not come before me to seek existence. But I don't even bother to take action. It's not because I'm generous. But because, compared to me intentionally taking revenge, letting them torment each other in days full of dissatisfaction and bitterness - makes them even more uncomfortable. Because, the so-called regret will gnaw at their hearts every day. That's enough. 23 Winter passed and spring came, and the Third Prince grew another year older. The new Thai Deputy suggested that he should read more books. Therefore, after visiting the store, I took the Third Prince to the bookstore. Unexpectedly, there, I met Ta Hien again. The mother and daughter looked at each other, somewhat surprised. “Dear Mother, Third Prince.” Ta Hien was the first to speak. His eyes looking at the Third Prince revealed some admiration. It has changed a lot. Quiet and quiet. And noticeably thinner. Looking closely, it was still wearing the same clothes from last year, with short sleeves. I sighed. Recently, something happened to the Ta family. Ta Tu Khanh was further demoted due to accusations of bribery. Everyone knows he no longer has a chance to be used. The Ta family is increasingly chaotic. I know, Ta Hien and Ta Linh are both living very difficult lives right now. Because Tran Uyen Quan already has a biological son, the two of them were previously tools to compete for favor, but are now worthless. On the contrary, he became a thorn in her eyes. In the house, the stepmother's silent harshness, without any words, is enough to make people miserable. These two children must have suffered a lot of humiliation recently. Thinking so, I took a few checks from my chest and gave them to him: "Spend with my sister." Tears immediately fell from Ta Hien's eyes. I looked, feeling somewhat sad. Children are different from adults. There are many moral principles that children still do not understand. Sometimes, it's not their fault. It's because adults didn't teach them properly. But once they know they are wrong and are willing to correct them, I don't hesitate to give them another chance. “Mother… I'm sorry.” I heard Ta Hien say softly. I raised my hand and patted its head. On the way home, the carriage passed by the Ta family's palace. In front of the gate, many people gathered. I stopped the car to look. It turned out that Ta Tu Khanh and Tran Uyen Quan were arguing in the middle of the street. Tran Uyen Quan's hair was messy, and one cheek still had a clear hand print. There were also a few scratches on Ta Tu Khanh's face. The two of them right now are no different from a married couple. Old lady Ta lay on the ground, crying and scolding: "You rotten woman! Why was I so blind to think you were better than Minh Suong?! Ever since I married you, the whole house has been in chaos! I... I regret it so much!" I sat in the carriage, passing them. Don't stop, don't turn around. Their misery is the best compliment for us. Because people are always responsible for their own choices. That year I chose to separate, but no one agreed. But now, everything has proven: I was not wrong. RUN OUT OF
