Chapter 8 — Female Khanh Dai Ly Temple

"Trieu Trieu." She stood in front of me, wanting to say it again, but in the end she just sighed with red eyes. "I was bad before. I only knew how to walk forward, never turning around to see where you were." I shook my head. Although my sister is aggressive, she has a straightforward nature and does not have too much of a cruel heart. Before, when I was cold in the palace, she also unintentionally brought me a little warmth. I always remember those things, so I don't want to calculate too much with her. Moreover, after being coldly treated by the Crown Prince, she finally woke up. It turned out that the little love he once had for her was just the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, so weak that he couldn't withstand a blow. The Crown Prince and his sister were married for less than two months and quickly divorced. I'm afraid her future path will not be easy. "Sister, please live well in the future." I sincerely bless you. She nodded, looked at Ta Kinh Xuyen again, smiled slightly and turned to leave. Mother saw that I was now gloriously independent, a smile that had not been seen for a long time appeared on her face, and her voice softened. She wanted to ease relations with me, wanted to invite me back to the family, accept my ancestors, and support the Thoi family. I had a cold face, a cold, distant voice, and calmly refused: "No need." "Now I have the last name Huong, a first name Chieu, and am no longer the daughter of the Cui family." As for the Tui family, if I didn't need me before, then it won't have anything to do with me in the future. Lam Tieu Ha also came. He stood at the other end of the long street, away from the people passing by, looking at me. Although his position as Crown Prince had not yet been abolished, after this incident, someone in the court proposed to establish a new army. He looked much more emaciated, with dark circles under his eyes, and his body had also become thinner. When he saw me, he took a step forward. But stopped again. His eyes fell on the hands holding mine and Ta Kinh Xuyen's tightly, his pupils slightly constricted. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he just nodded slightly at Ta Kinh Xuyen, then turned and left. The lonely back was drawn into a very long shadow by the sunset. Later I heard from my sister that Lam Tieu Ha had investigated everything clearly. At first, he always refused to believe that I was really that cruel and cold. So he went everywhere searching, searching painfully, always wanting to find a trace to prove that I still paid attention to him. Until you finally see clearly, my helping you turn back the case of your mother-in-law was never because of remembering your old love. I only did this for the Ta family, because I wanted to overthrow the queen and wipe out injustice in the court. Life stories are like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. Lam Tieu Ha was completely desperate, went into the deep mountains alone, and became a monk. From then on, I relied on the green light and Buddhist scriptures to live the rest of my life. And Ta Kinh Xuyen did not return to Tran Bac Hau's palace. On the contrary, he insisted on staying in the south of the city, guarding the backyard of my store. During the day, he silently helps me deliver goods and looks after the store. At night, he guards the door and lights the lamp for me. After his wound completely healed, he often wore that simple old outfit, a long sword on his waist, and stood quietly outside the store. When guests came, he quietly retreated to one side, not bothering them at all. When no one passed by, he lazily leaned against the door frame, silently watching me bow my head at the table, copying books and writing letters. Occasionally I raised my head and suddenly met his gentle, attentive eyes. He immediately looked away in panic, his ears quietly covered with a layer of light red. Court cases are still far from over. Even though the Queen had collapsed, she endured it

guilty, but the undercurrents in the tide are still rolling. The forces of all sides are intertwined and intertwined, and countless years of old debts are waiting to be paid one by one. I was still focused on investigating the case, traveling everywhere as before, and Ta Kinh Xuyen always followed me. People I knew often teasingly asked me: "Miss, it is truly an honor for you to be able to make the little Marquis of the Tran Bac family be your servant." I did not raise my head, nor did my hand holding the pen stop, just slowly said: "You can be my servant, the one who should feel honored is you." The sunlight outside the window was warm, and the scent of ink gently spread in the shop. Ta Kinh Xuyen was leaning next to the door, hearing every word clearly. The corners of his lips suddenly curled up slightly. The cool wind slowly blew in from the alley, gently swaying the long strands of hair on his temples. He casually raised his hand to smooth his hair, and said in a low voice, each word extremely serious: "Indeed." "I am extremely happy to be able to follow you by your side in this life."— Completed —
