Chapter 7 — Before I lost my peace, I quietly put it away

Tieu Truong Lam suddenly raised his head. He knelt down and crawled to my feet. I want to reach out and grab the hem of my dress. I hate to step back a little. His hand shot into space. Stiff in mid-air. Her eyes were filled with pleading. Same humbleness.

“I was wrong.”

“I really know it's wrong.”

“Jade Sau.”

“Can you forgive me?”

“Let's start from the beginning.”

“I will remove Nguyet Chi's tablet.”

“I will hand over the entire Marquis Palace to you.”

“I will use the remaining half of my life to make it up to you…”

I couldn't help but burst out laughing. The laughter was filled with sarcasm.

“Tieu Truong Lam.”

“Can you give me back my knees that were damaged in the snow that year?”

“Can you erase all the tears I've cried for the past three years?”

“Can you make all the humiliations I have endured never exist?”

He choked. Suffering, he closed his eyes tightly.

“Love comes late.”

“Even the weeds along the roadside are not as good.”

I look at him. Say each word slowly.

“Tieu Truong Lam.”

“Today you kneel here crying.”

“It's not because of how much you love me.”

“But because he couldn't accept that he was a fool from beginning to end.”

“His so-called deep feelings.”

“It's just that I'm moved by myself.”

Tieu Truong Lam suddenly opened his eyes. He stared at me. A flash of despair flashed in his eyes.

"Not!"

“Jade Sau, it's not like that!”

“I really love you!”

“That year at the flower lantern festival, the first person I saw was you!”

I coldly interrupted him. From his sleeve he took out a sealed document. Throw it down in front of him. That is the book of separation sent down by the Saint himself. Wei Hanh's working speed is indeed very fast.

“Then get out of my hospital.”

Tieu Truong Lam looked at the divorce letter. It was like looking at a talisman for life. He shook his head frantically. Both hands clasped tightly together. Crush it into a lump.

“I won't sign!”

“Even if I die, I won't sign!”

“Jade Sau!”

“You can't treat me like that!”

“You can't leave me like that after I know everything!”

He screamed like a madman. Trying to use that ridiculous method to hold me back.

“You are in no position to bargain.”

I stood up. Looking down at him from above.

“This book of separation was approved by the Holy One himself.”

“If you don't sign.”

“That is the resistance.”

“Not only did he lose his head.”

“And the entire Xiao family of nine clans must also be buried together.”

Wei Hanh not only helped me get the book of peace. He also presented all evidence of Tieu Truong Lam's embezzlement to the Emperor. The Emperor was furious. But out of respect for the old Marquis, in the end he only confiscated the family's property and exiled him. It seemed like all the strength in Tieu Truong Lam's body was drained away. He fell down and sat down on the ground. Look at my cold face. Finally understood. No matter how much he begged. No matter how much he suffered. No matter how much he cries. It cannot be exchanged for even a trace of my pity. Wen Ngoc Sau once placed both his heart and eyes on him. He was killed by his own hand a long time ago. He trembled and reached out his hand. Receive the pen that Luc Dan gave you. Then sign your name reconciliation letter. The moment of lowering the pen. It was like the last bit of light in his life had been completely consumed. His whole body instantly aged. I turn around. Don't look at him again. That afternoon. Dai Ly Tu's soldiers surrounded the entire Tinh Vien Marquis Palace. Foreclosure of assets. Revocation of title. Exiled three thousand miles. Tinh Vien Marquis Palace was once glorious. Yet in just one short month. Completely collapsed. Turn into ash. When Mrs. Tieu had her family confiscated, she was angry and righteous. Apoplectic. Half of the body is paralyzed. Tieu Truong Ninh was married to a rude military general on the border. She cried to the heavens and the earth. In the end, he was still stuffed into a palanquin and taken away. And Tieu Truong Lam. Wearing heavy chains. Being escorted out of the capital. The day he appeared. It was also a winter day where heavy snow filled the sky. I sit in the carriage. Gently lift the window curtain. Quietly look at him. He was only wearing a thin prison uniform. The grass shoes under his feet were completely soaked by the snow. Every passing step. They all left a red trail of blood on the snow. He was skinny and emaciated. Like a soulless body. When the carriage passed beside him. It seemed he sensed something. Suddenly he raised his head sharply. The moment I saw you inside the car window. The numbness that dominated his eyes was immediately replaced by endless pain and madness. He seemed crazy as he struggled to escape the restraints of the escorting soldiers. Regardless of everything, rush straight towards my carriage.

“Jade Sau!”

“Jade Sau!”

He screamed hoarsely. In that call, there was sadness as if it was bleeding. A soldier brandished a whip.

“Whoosh” sound.

The whip fiercely whipped his back. Knock him down to the snow. But he still tried to struggle and get up. His heavy knees knelt down on the white snow. Heading towards the carriage that was gradually leaving. Dare to put your head down. His forehead repeatedly hit the cold snow. Fresh blood quickly dyed a large area of white snow red. Exactly like three years ago. When I knelt in front of Thua Thien's gate and bowed my head to pray for him. Only thing. I won't turn back again.

“Madam.”

“It's very windy outside.”

"Be careful not to catch a cold."

Luc Dan sat next to him and gently reminded. Then raise your hand and let down the car window curtain. I leaned against the soft mattress. Feel the warmth from the brazier in the carriage. Gently close your eyes. The carriage continued to roll. Grinding through the thick layer of snow on the ground. Leaving far behind the man kneeling in the white snow. Desperately crying. I am in so much pain that my heart and lungs are paralyzed. Heavy snow continued to fall. Each flower flutters between heaven and earth. Gradually cover all sins. Gradually bury all resentment and unwillingness. From today. High mountains and long rivers. The horizon is thousands of miles away. On Ngoc Sau. Finally, I have regained a new life that belongs to me. (FULL TEXT)
