Chapter 7 — Back to the Day of the Queen Mother's Marriage, This Time I Repented on the Spot, the Dowager was stunned

The lobby was eerily quiet. We can clearly hear our heart beating. I stared at his face for a long time. Finally opened his mouth:

“Sir Shen.”

“You didn't come here today to pass on an edict.”

“You came to make me know… you were on my side.”

He didn't say anything. But his eyes acknowledged everything. I slowly let out a laugh. That smile was very light. It's like you're laughing at him. But it's like laughing at yourself.

“Sir Shen.”

I looked at him and said:

“In my previous life, I was married to you for three years.”

His shoulders immediately stiffened a bit.

"During those three years, I cooked more than three hundred bowls of soup for you, sewed more than forty sets of clothes, every day Mao wakes up to prepare tea for you, until now Tuat is still waiting for you to return to the palace."

"I once knelt outside your study, knelt in your hallway, knelt at your feet."

"I once took your mother's whip for you, endured the cup of tea that Lam Bich Hanh threw at you, endured the ridicule behind your back from the servants."

"Finally, I also took the responsibility of your younger sister for a deadly crime and was sent to prison."

“The day of the execution it rained heavily.”

I look at him.

“You didn't come.”

Tham Nghien Chi's face was now pale and bloodless. His lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

“Now you tell me that you are on my side.”

“Master Shen, you are too late.”

He took a step forward.

“Van Duong…”

“Don't call my name.”

We take a step back.

"Master Shen, I don't know how you know about your past life, and I don't want to know."

“I just want to tell you something — in this life, I will never let myself kneel in front of you again.”

“Not even once.”

Having finished speaking, I turned around and left. As he walked to the door, his voice was heard from behind.

“I'm not coming.”

My steps stopped.

“On the day of the execution, I did not come…”

His voice was very soft, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"It's because someone else drugged me and locked me in my own study. By the time I got out, it was already three days late."

I don't turn back.

“Who gave the medicine?”

“Lam Bich Hanh.”

I closed my eyes. Many things suddenly connected in the blink of an eye in my head. In her previous life, Lam Bich Hanh, wearing the name of white moonlight, ran rampant in the Tham residence. Everyone thought it was because Tham Nghien Chi tolerated her. But if behind her is Concubine Thuc... If from the beginning she was sent to Tham Nghien Chi's side... Then it is unlikely that Tham Nghien Chi is being lenient. Perhaps he was just trapped in a net, not even he could see clearly. But so what? He couldn't see clearly. He killed me.

“Sir Shen.”

I opened my mouth, my voice was extremely calm.

“I heard everything you said.”

“But I have already died once.”

“The dead… will not live the same way a second time.”

I pushed the door open and walked out of the lobby. When I got to the hospital, I realized that the corners of my eyes were already wet. Not because of emotion. But because of hatred. Hate his explanation came too late. Hating my past life for so many years and still not being able to see it understand everything. I hate fate for letting me live again, but even now it still wants to soften my heart. I raised my hand to wipe away my tears and took a deep breath. After returning to the room, the maid was still waiting nervously.

“Miss…”

“Go talk to Marquis Vinh Xuong.”

I spoke up:

"About the holy decree, tell him not to continue to interfere. I'll handle it myself."

“So… how do you plan to handle it, miss?”

I raised my head and looked out the window.

“Find the Queen.”

The queen summoned me to the palace three days later. During those three days, many things happened in the capital. Lam Bich Hanh's whereabouts have not yet been found. But the rumors that she sent people to spread spread throughout the capital - Saying that I had long had feelings for a man of unknown identity, saying that the love letter was true. Saying that the golden fairy is in my study is real evidence, saying that the reason I refused to marry Tham Thai Deputy is because I have had someone else in my heart for a long time, completely unrelated to Marquis Vinh Xuong. Something like a rumor, once it starts spreading, cannot be suppressed anymore. Bui Hoai's mother - the old lady of Vinh Xuong Marquis - sent people twice.
