Chapter 4 — Disabled Fiance Wants To Take Me As His Concubine

My steps did not stop, directly interrupting her words.

"Impertinence! Do you still have me, the mother of the family, in your eyes?"

Bach Thi's cold shout finally had some momentum. I stopped walking, turned my head and looked at her coldly. Twelve strong men led by Linh Dang to move things also stopped at the same time and looked towards Bach Thi. Bach Thi slightly cringed in an imperceptible way, silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva before speaking:

"Miao Mieu has been at Nguyet Hoa Pavilion for ten years. If you want to move out, it can't be done in a moment. Or you can just temporarily stay at Dien Vi Pavilion for a few days, wait for Mieu Mieu to finish packing everything and then move into Nguyet Hoa Pavilion. It's not too late."

I quietly observed Bach Thi from top to bottom. At this age she should have entered semi-old age, but thanks to careful care, she doesn't look like a woman in her thirties at all. She is the bright moonlight in my father's heart. Previously, she was married to Ung Chau Tri Phu. After her husband passed away, she was kicked out by her husband's family. She brought along two-year-old Co Mieu Mieu to rely on my father. The two of them continued to shamelessly live together outside. Made my poor mother heartbroken and sick, suffering from illness for two or three years, and finally sadly passed away.

"How many days is a temporary stay for a few days? Or is it like thirteen years ago, when you came to my father and asked him to take care of you for a while, but as a result that 'some time' lasted for thirteen years?"

Bach Thi was both embarrassed and angry, gritted her teeth and shouted: "Nguyen Bao Nhi, after all, I am also your stepmother, don't look down on me too much!"

"What if I continue to despise you? The exterior is upgraded to the main house, according to the law, you will be fined for one year and subject to thirty rods. Surely you don't want the evidence in my hand to be taken to Kinh Trieu Palace, right?"

I slightly lowered my eyes and watched Bach Thi's pupils tremble slightly, tears falling like rain. She's scared. Aunt Trang and my grandfather in the past didn't push my father into a corner, just because they wanted to keep a family background for me that was still visible to the outside world. But if we ourselves stand out and denounce the bad things that year, then there won't be any way back.

"Even small things like arranging a place to live can't be done, it's really useless. It seems that I should replace my father and appoint two more housekeepers and concubines to manage the affairs in the palace."

"Linh Dang, lead someone to move all of Co Mieu Mieu's belongings to Dien Vi Pavilion. I'll go from the road to worship my ancestors first. After an hour, I'll go to Nguyet Hoa Pavilion to rest."

While sitting in the main hall drinking tea, waiting for Nguyet Hoa Pavilion to finish cleaning up, Co Mieu Mieu came over. Her sideburns were a bit messy, it looked like she had just had a fight with Linh Dang and the others. Her clothes and jewelry were all top quality, and her appearance was beautiful, looking like a young lady from a noble family. It seems that thanks to spending her mother's dowry, her life is extremely prosperous. My eyes were suddenly attracted by the golden hairpin on her bun. That is my mother's brooch.

"Nguyen Bao Nhi! On what basis do you dare to touch my things?"

I put down the tea cup, stood up, walked in front of her, raised his hand and slapped her. The slap hit her so hard that her head tilted to one side. I conveniently pulled down the golden hairpin, pulling a few strands of hair with it.

"Is it worthy of someone like you to carry my mother's things?"

She held her left cheek, which was rapidly red and swollen, looking at me in disbelief.

"You... you dare to hit me... Even my father has never hit me..."

"Father? Do you mean Nguyen The Hoang?"

I laughed coldly.

"Co Mieu Mieu, every time you wake up in the middle of the night, doesn't your biological father appear to squeeze your neck?"

Co Mieu Mieu trembled slightly and her words began to stutter.

"You peasants from other places, don't talk nonsense. Quickly move my things back to Nguyet Hoa Pavilion and arrange them as before. Otherwise, after you get married, I have countless ways to make you live in bed without a pillow."

I swung another strong slap on her right cheek.
