Chapter 10 — Disabled Fiance Wants To Take Me As His Concubine

Bui Chi Vien gradually accepted military service. Every year there are a few months when I have to patrol the border. Every year he thinks of all kinds of ways to sneak me along. Every year, my aunt Trang stops me.

"If you're only stationed in one place, it's okay to take Nguyen Bao. But you're on patrol, and you've been traveling non-stop for months. Even your butt is almost stuck on the horse's back. Do you still want to take her along to suffer with you?"

Every time we parted ways, both of us blushed and waved goodbye. Wait a few months and see you again. They hugged each other again, crying until their eyes turned red. Later, banditry in the southern border became more and more intense. Bui Chi Vien obeyed orders to lead the army to hunt bandits. At that time, An Vien Hau was patrolling the northern border. In the capital, someone immediately began to have other thoughts. Food and military supplies were still not supplied. The war in the South was therefore extremely difficult. At court, there was one controversy after another. The decision that needs to be made cannot be made forever. If it continued like that... Bui Chi Vien's army had almost run out of food, grass, and water. I do not dare to bet on the conscience of the court. We cannot continue to wait for the Emperor's decision. I took Linh Dang, Lam Nhat and twelve of them and rode day and night back to Giang Nam. The Lam family spent more than half of their assets on business, gathering enough food and provisions for the bandit army. I personally followed the bureau's team to escort that amount of food to the front line. When my grandfather taught me, he completely learned from his failure when raising his mother. He let me study with my brothers and uncles, read books together, practice martial arts, and study military techniques. I wish I could pass on all the skills I have to protect myself. Therefore, this trip to escort food and herbs is not too difficult for me. It's just that... Just conveniently killed a few more bandits. Then just suffered a little more injury. Fortunately, the herbs arrived in time. The battle immediately turned around. Finally a great victory. On the way back to the capital, Bui Chi Vien cried all the way from Giang Nam to the capital. Crying so much that I was worried his eyes would be ruined by crying. The wound on my body hasn't had time to hurt yet. He cried so much that he was completely cured. After returning to the capital, the Emperor discussed the reward. When it's my turn, I just ask Him to grant the Lam family the status of Royal Merchant. The Emperor laughed and praised me for being truly an opinionated lady. The person who issued the decree, in addition to preparing the Lam family to become a royal merchant, also personally bestowed the four words "Mien Nghia Thanh Vinh" (diligence in maintaining righteousness, building glory) as the royal pen for the Lam family. On the way out of the palace, Bui Chi Vien rode his horse next to my carriage.

"Why don't you take the opportunity to use your military merit to apply for the position of Huong Lord (lower than the district lord) for yourself? You can enjoy the real estate of the hamlet and the land, and you can also protect the Lam family."

I opened the car curtain, raised my head and smiled at him.

"Borrowing someone else's position, after all, is not a long-term plan. With my protection, it is better to make the Lam family strong enough and able to stand firm with its own ability. Only when the Lam family prospers will I have my mother's family as a support. But as long as I stand firm, There will always be a solid rear behind him."

Bui Chi Vien's ears immediately turned red, he quickly turned his face away, and after a while, he awkwardly muttered:

"Um... so... I also have someone behind me..."
