Chapter 5 — Being Betrayed by the General, I Became the Protector of the Nation's Wealth, Making Him Kneel and Pray

Three days later, Luc Thoi Nghien's answer arrived on time. He agreed to all my conditions. Performance is indeed very high. The very next day, he used the "failures" of "jealousy" and "not serving his parents-in-law" to leave Khuong Nguyet Linh. A retirement letter knocked the once glorious General's wife back to her original form. The day Khuong Nguyet Linh was kicked out of the General's palace, it was drizzling with rain. She didn't bring anything with her, dressed in old, unkempt clothes, and was "invited" out of the main gate by Tan Ba. She went crazy and rushed inside, wanting to see Luc Thoi Nghien, wanting to ask everything clearly.

"Why! Luc Thoi Nghien, why do you treat me like that! What did I do wrong!"

“I am your wife!”

The large gate slammed shut in front of her, blocking out all the cries. She became the biggest joke in the whole capital. Falling from the blue clouds, falling until bones and flesh are broken. And I, the one who initiated everything, was leisurely in Tinh Tam Cu, looking at books from everywhere brought by Thinh Tuyet Lau. Xuan Hoa stood next to me, grinding ink for me, and said softly:

“Miss, this one move of yours hurts her more than killing her.”

I slightly curled the corners of my lips.

"Kill her? That's too good for her."

“I want her to see with her own eyes how easily I can take back what she has worked so hard to steal, and then crush with my own hands.”

“I want her to forever live in regret and unwillingness.”

On the Luc family's side, after receiving my instructions, Thinh Tuyet Lau began to secretly take action. The previously robbed waterway shipment was "found" by a "government official" in the camp of another group of bandits, then returned to the original owner, without being kept for further investigation. The confidants in the army who had been framed were also exonerated and their positions restored because "the real perpetrator fell into the net". Business partners in the South are even more proactive in coming to our doors, signing even more generous contracts than before. In just half a short month, all of the Luc family's crises were resolved. It was as if the previous storm had never happened. Up and down the Luc family, everyone is extremely grateful to the mysterious "Mr. Dich Sinh" that is me. As for Luc Thoi Nghien, he personally came to Tinh Tam Cu, bringing with him the land contract and the contract to divide the commission of three parts of the Luc family's property. Along with a "half-life contract" of his own that lasted a full ten years. He stood before me, his expression extremely complicated. He changed his address. I took the thick stack of documents and conveniently gave it to Xuan Hoa.

“From now on, just listen to the instructions of the ‘Night Mountain Song’.”

He replied softly. The Great General, once noble and noble, has now become my subordinate. This feeling is really not bad. 【Is that already unbearable? Luc Thoi Nghien, this is just the beginning.】 I continue to provide him with Ngung Than Huong and toxicity suppression pills. His face was much better, but the melancholy between his eyebrows became even deeper. He tried to open his mouth to say something many times, but was blocked by my cold eyes.

"General Luc, if there's nothing else, please go home. We don't keep free people here."

I gave the order to send the guests off. He looked me, a flash of pain flashed in my eyes. In the end, without saying a word, he turned around and left. His back carries some desolation and loneliness. Xuan Hoa looked at him, a bit reluctant.

“Miss, tell me, General Luc... has he regretted it?”

“Regret?”

I laughed coldly.

“His regret is not worth a dime.”

“In this world, the most useless thing is deep love that comes late.”

After being brought home by retirement, Khuong Nguyet Linh became a disgrace to the Khuong family. Old man Khuong originally wanted to rely on her to cling to the Luc family, but he didn't expect that when he failed to steal the chicken, he also lost a handful of rice, not only did he lose his daughter, but he also offended Luc Thoi Nghien. He vented all his anger on Khuong Nguyet Linh, locked her in the backyard, not allowing her to take even a single step outside. Khuong Nguyet Linh was not satisfied. She doesn't understand why things turned out like that. Apparently, just before that, Luc Thoi Nghien softened his heart because she could help her, allowing her to move to the main courtyard, but in just a blink of an eye, he turned around and ruthlessly abandoned her.
