Chapter 1 — Duyen Tan Truong Dinh

After finding out that Lam Chi Ly had poisoned me, Tieu Kinh Hanh insisted on taking her to court, telling me: "Madam, I will give you justice." Lam Chi Ly was beheaded according to the law. Tieu Kinh Hanh was always strong and healthy, but soon he became so sick that he couldn't get out of bed. Before his death, Tieu Kinh Hanh tightened the protective scarf Lam Chi Ly gave him, telling me the last sentence: "Thanh Thanh, I'm sorry to you, unfortunately I couldn't control my heart." After rebirth, Tieu Kinh Hanh came to my door again to seek marriage, and I still chose to marry him. Tieu Kinh Hanh is not a husband who can grow old with me, but he is a good person, a good father, a good general. After I married into the general's palace, the two of us were even more peaceful than before. Until the fifteenth year after getting married, Lam Chi Ly followed her mother to rely on me. Lam Chi Ly's bright and graceful smile once again made Tieu Kinh Hanh look dumbfounded. But this time, I no longer felt like I had a bone stuck in my neck, I just calmly told the housekeeper: "Arrange the best hospital for them, they will stay for a long time." 01 During the baptism party of model Lam Chi Ly, Tieu Kinh Hanh, who was always generous, asked the men and women to divide the table. Tieu Kinh Hanh hugged my shoulder, his tone unusually impatient: "You and Mrs. Lam have been like sisters since childhood. We haven't seen each other for many years. There are definitely a lot of things we want to say. I'm not present, so you guys are more at ease." I raised my eyes to look at Tieu Kinh Hanh. Having been together for decades in our previous life and this life, I have seen how chaotic he is. He is confused not only because of love. Tieu's family's position is pure, he finds that he has feelings for his junior, of course he cannot accept it. Seeing me nod, Tieu Kinh Hanh breathed a sigh of relief, excused himself from the military camp and quickly left. Looking at his back, I sighed. At the baptism party, I was used to eating without speaking and sleeping without speaking. Handkerchief delivered To Uyen, who has been widowed for several years, has few words. During the meal, only Lam Chi Ly's voice was heard. “General Xiao isn't coming to dinner, does he not welcome us?” “What does General Tieu like to eat? Does a brave general like him really eat ten bowls of rice in one meal?” "General Tieu wakes up early every day to go to court. He still has to train his soldiers. Isn't it hard?" I responded with two sentences and then got lazy, using my eyes to signal the maid Van Nguyet to answer for me, while I concentrated on eating. To Uyen still couldn't listen anymore, so she gently reprimanded Lam Chi Ly: "There are no rules, making your aunt Luc laugh." I smiled: "Lin Chi Ly has a lively personality, which people like very much." Lam Chi Ly pursed her lips, her face full of disbelief, the faint contempt she couldn't hide. I pretend I don't see it. She is just a sixteen year old girl, only two years older than my son Sach An. After the meal, Lam Chi Ly hugged the housekeeper and told him to take her around the palace. There were only me and To Uyen left in the room. To Uyen smoothly wiped away her tears: "Thanh Thanh, Chi Ly's biological father passed away early. Since childhood, she has heard many stories about General Tieu and admires General Tieu very much." "He suddenly lost his temper, I hope you will forgive me." I said yes and didn't give To Uyen the towel. Although in her previous life, To Uyen's conscience finally arose, she only recognized her biological daughter, nailing Lam Chi Ly's crime. But before that, To Uyen sought me out many times, hoping that I would be the one to help Tieu Kinh Hanh recruit Lam Chi Ly. I don't resent her for helping Lam Chi Ly, I'm just angry that as a mother, she trampled on her daughter like that. I adjusted my sleeve: "It's all small things, I won't worry about it." To Uyen breathed a sigh of relief, the smile on her face became a little more genuine. I didn't have the heart to talk to her, so I immediately went back to my room to rest. Not long after, Van Nguyet came in and told me: "Miss Lam is really not a disciplined person. She has sneaked into the front yard and is talking to the general." I gasped and asked again: "How did the general react?" Van Nguyet was stunned

When he came out, he observed my face and said: "The general is out of respect for you, so he only had to deal with her a few words." I smiled: "I don't have that big of a face." "Last time, to invite the doctor to let Sach An enter the front yard, you were beaten twenty times and lost half your life." Van Nguyet trembled, embarrassed and unable to say anything. I patted Van Nguyet's hand and said: Prevent copying documents from the Little Tiger bot, look for a robot book, choose Little Tiger, be stable and reliable, don't step in the trap! "Each person has his own dharma, it is enough for us to live our lives well." "Sach An is about to go to Xuong Chau to be a district commander, the newly opened palace will have you as the chief housekeeper." Van Nguyet's eyes lit up: "I'll go clean up immediately." “Okay, just be quiet.” After Van Nguyet left, I took down the hairpin from my head, lit the wick, and waited for Tieu Kinh Hanh to return. After the sound of the gong rang out, Tieu Kinh Hanh entered the room. On his face, there was still an excitement and enthusiasm that he hadn't seen in many years. The young man wearing a brocade shirt and a fast horse seemed to have come back to life. After seeing me, Tieu Kinh Hanh's smile gradually subsided. My existence is enough to wake him up from his beautiful dream. Tieu Kinh Hanh looked away, his voice was hoarse, very gentle: "Madam, why aren't you sleeping yet?" I did not answer but asked instead: "To Uyen said that the child Lam Chi Ly especially admired you, what do you think?" Tieu Kinh Hanh was stunned, and after a long time asked me: "Thanh Thanh, what do you mean by this?" I poured a cup of tea for Tieu Kinh Hanh, asked him to sit down, and pointed out directly: "You and I have been husband and wife for many years, I know what you are thinking." 02 In my previous life, Tieu Kinh Hanh endured three years, and I followed him in acting for three years. Pretend not to see that his eyes will always fall on Lam Chi Ly first. Lam Chi Ly pulled his sleeve in front of everyone and pouted towards him, I also forced a smile to deceive myself. Even when poisoned and about to die, I had to close my eyes tightly, not looking at his confused hesitation. In this life, I very naturally said: "You have fallen in love with Lam Chi Ly." Tieu Kinh Hanh's whole body shook. I don't understand why I feel so much lighter in my heart. Tieu Kinh Hanh put down his teacup and opened his mouth to speak. I laughed, blocking his heart-wrenching explanation: "Young and beautiful Lam Chi Ly, you're a handsome young man, you two are a perfect match." "What's more, their mother is now miserable and has no one to rely on, marrying into someone else's house. Do you feel at ease?" The more frankly I spoke, the more frankly Tieu Kinh Hanh was stunned, speechless: "First time meeting. No way! I never thought of it. You and I have been husband and wife for many years, you have not made any mistakes." I waved my hand, the reason had already been thought of for him: "After giving birth to Sach An, my roots were damaged, and I could no longer raise an heir for you." Tieu Kinh Hanh suddenly stood up, his tone was extremely solemn: "Sach An, at fourteen years old, passed the Tham Hoa exam, is a dragon and phoenix among humans. Having him alone is enough for me." Hearing that, my heart was also touched. But the next second Tieu Kinh Hanh said again: "Let me think about it, think carefully." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, his steps even lighter than when he entered. The so-called thinking carefully is just joy that cannot be hidden, and even wants to cover it up. I picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was cold. It turns out that as soon as I opened my mouth, Tieu Kinh Hanh was eager to marry Lam Chi Ly. He really likes her. That year, Tieu Kinh Hanh married me to save my life and all the unmarried ladies of the Wen family. When I was sixteen years old, I went to the mountain to offer incense but was captured by thieves. But the bandits' camp is easy to attack and difficult to attack, so if you want to save me, you have to pay a huge price. The Wen family and government officials all gave up. I was locked in the dungeon for three days, not eating or drinking, clutching the hairpin trembling. Hold on until all you have left is the strength to commit suicide. Finally, Tieu Kinh Hanh came in alone, his whole body covered in dirty blood, and his eyes were so bright that it was scary. I have remembered that image for two lifetimes. He picked me up, not at all gently, but firm and strong, especially attractive

I feel secure. Tieu Kinh Hanh was seriously injured before leading me to escape from the mountain camp. After returning home, my uncle threw three meters of white silk at me, telling me to think about the family's reputation. I said: "No, I'm not looking for death." Tieu Kinh Hanh had long guessed my plight. He tried to tell me: "You must wait for me, I will come to marry you." I have been waiting for him. On the night of the wedding, I asked Tieu Kinh Hanh why he saved me. Tieu Kinh Hanh told me: "If you see someone in danger, how can you not help?" He is not narrow-minded because of the wind, flowers, snow, and moon, only sincerity and honesty. I let out a sigh. A good person like Tieu Kinh Hanh, the person he truly loves is not me. There is pain in my heart, there is sadness in my heart, it has been eroded by time until only a little remains. The next morning, Tieu Kinh Hanh rarely did not come to the military camp to train soldiers, but came to the main room to have breakfast with me. He was mentally unstable, I deliberately pretended not to know. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, blushed and said: "You should still take it slow, don't scare her again." I swallowed the white porridge in my mouth and asked him: "A man marries a woman, heaven and earth are righteous, bright and righteous, why do we have to hide it?" Tieu Kinh Hanh frowned and just shook his head. I asked again. Tieu Kinh Hanh bowed his head, his tone dropped: "I am many years older than her, and I am married, so I am not worthy of her." “To Uyen will also not agree.” The most courageous general of the Dai Ha dynasty still felt that he was not worthy. So what does a general's wife who is lucky enough to climb high like me count on? My heart was heavy and I had no strength in my hands, so I put down the bowl and said: "Don't worry, I will help you marry her." Tieu Kinh Hanh is my benefactor of two generations, I wish to fulfill him. 03 With my promise, Tieu Kinh Hanh's expression became even more complicated. Seeing him look puzzled and making me feel guilty, I forced myself to smile and said: "I'm working, are you still not at ease?" Tieu Kinh Hanh hesitated and said: "Don't worry. If you do your work, of course I can rest assured." "In these years, there has never been a bad incident in the house, there has been no deficit in the books, everything has been peaceful and worry-free." The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, the more ugly his face became, but he still sat still and did not move. I can't help but worry, does he want me to commit suicide to give my position to Lam Chi Ly? Fortunately, Tieu Kinh Hanh only said in a dry voice: "If Lam Chi Ly agrees, she is a daughter of a good family and cannot be a concubine." I breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, since we said we would get married, she will be your wife." Because there is no need to die, I also have the mood to joke with Tieu Kinh Hanh: "I know you love people. I will not cause harm." "She finally has a reason to be with me. Out of respect for To Uyen, I don't want to mistreat her." Tieu Kinh Hanh looked at me for a long time, with an unclear meaning, he laughed: "I didn't know, it turns out that you are so kind and gentle."
