Chapter 4 — Dry Wood Meets Spring, We Meet You

Ha Thinh Xuyen's face turned pale and he screamed. His eyes glanced back and forth between me and Tan Duc, as if he had just woken up: "I know, surely you were looking for someone to act to trick me, right?"
"Ngg Nguong, I have already agreed to let you give birth to this... child, what else do you want from me?"
"If you don't want to change, come with me, it's almost time."
I looked at him like I was crazy, even at this point he still thought I was acting to trick him. In his heart, how unreasonable must I be? Thinking of that, my face turned cold: "I have said what I should say, whether you believe it or not is up to you. In short, there is no longer any possibility between you and me, you can go." I pulled Tan Duc's hand and was about to go back inside, but Ha Thinh Xuyen's heart suddenly rose up in an unreasonable panic. He rushed forward and held my hand tightly: "Ngh Ngung, we can talk about anything later, you must come with me today." Tan Duc paused. He lifted his eyelids, coldly glanced at him, his voice carrying unexposed anger: "Let go!" Ha Thinh Xuyen stiffened his neck: "You let go first." Tan Duc narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face disappeared completely, and a bone-chilling cold flash flashed through his pitch-black eyes. That's a sign he's about to get angry. Afraid that if the two of them really fought, it would ruin things, I quickly pushed Ha Thinh Xuyen's hand away, my face never looked so serious.
"Ha Thinh Xuyen, I'll tell you for the last time, Tan Duc and I are married. If you don't believe me, you can go to the house to check the book and see for yourself whether I lied or not."
My marriage to Tan Duc took place at the time of the national funeral, so everything was simplified, but in the capital it was not something to hide, just ask a little, even check the civil status, it would be clear. Ha Thinh Xuyen was shocked by my serious expression. While he was still stunned, I led Tan Duc back inside. Looking at my back, Ha Thinh Xuyen suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. Could what Ngung Ngung said be true? Was she really married? Very quickly, he pushed that thought out of his head. No, it can't be. She once said she wouldn't marry anyone but him in this life, it's only been two years, how can she say she doesn't need him anymore? But the insecurity in his heart kept rising, he gritted his teeth, even forgot to get on the horse, and ran straight to the palace.

When he returned from the palace, Ha Thinh Xuyen's face was pale, even his lips were bloodless. Only now did he understand that Thinh Ngung did not lie to him, she was actually married to someone else. Just thinking about that, his chest felt like it was being squeezed by a huge hand, it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe, tears kept falling. Lam Nhuoc Nhuoc came and saw him staggering and almost falling, so she quickly caught him: "Husband, what's wrong with you? Didn't you come to your sister's house to pick up the bride? Why did you run here?" That question was like a knife stabbing straight into the pain. Ha Thinh Xuyen pushed her hand away, his finger pointing at her trembled: "It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, why would Thinh Ngung marry someone else? I really regret it, I regret saving you that year."
“You give Thinh Ngung back to me, give her back to me!”
All the pain and resentment for losing me, Ha Thinh Xuyen poured out on her. Lam Nhuoc Nhuoc heard from his words that it was me
Having gotten married, a secret glint of joy flashed through her eyes: "Husband, I didn't expect that you would think twice and marry someone else."
"Now that that's it, please follow me home, today is Man Nhi's hundred-day party, I and I will always be by your side, the three of us will never be apart."
"Are not!"
"Thinh Ngung is mine, I won't let her go to anyone else."
Ha Thinh Xuyen screamed and immediately ran back to my palace, but was informed that I had followed Tan Duc back to Marquis's palace. … As soon as I entered the door, Tan Duc pressed me against the wall, his eyes dark, without saying a word. My heart immediately tensed.
“You… what's wrong with you?”
Tan Duc's voice was hoarse, his voice revealing a trace of resentment that was not easy to detect: "If I hadn't come back today, wouldn't you have followed him?" I immediately laughed: "Don't you have any confidence in yourself?" Tan Duc did not answer. Page Nguyet Hoa Cac's dark eyes kept staring at me, their eye sockets gradually turning red. I was startled.
"You... don't cry, I'm already your wife, how can I follow him?"
"Besides, we still have a child, how can I get pregnant with you and marry someone else?"
Tan Duc childishly pulled my hand: "Then swear, swear that you will never leave me for the rest of your life." Normally, Tan Duc looks so domineering, but every time he gets jealous, he looks like a child. Perhaps because his father died when he was five years old and his mother also died, the years of loneliness made him extremely possessive and insecure after getting married. I had no choice but to coax: "Okay, I swear, I will never leave you in this life, and our children will love you forever." At this moment, he was satisfied and hugged me tightly, a fierce glint in his eyes.

The next morning, I heard that Ha Thinh Xuyen's leg was broken. Everyone said it was due to falling off a horse, but I always felt like something was wrong. When Tan Duc heard the news, he just laughed coldly: "If you blame him, blame him for doing bad things, he deserves it." During his time of recuperation, Ha Thinh Xuyen wrote many letters to me, but they were all blocked by Tan Duc, and I could not even see the edges of the letters. His leg was broken, he still refused to let go.page Nguyet Hoa Cac stood on crutches waiting in front of the gate of the Hau palace, no matter how much he chased him away, he would not leave. That's why Tan Duc's face is not very good-looking all day.
