Chapter 4 — Going Back to Modern Day, Le Vuong Goes Crazy

Seeing me standing in the light, his eyes suddenly widened.

“Tham Niem… what are you doing?”

"Get down quickly! It's dangerous there!"

He tried to move forward, but was knocked back by the light column. I turned around and looked at the man I had loved for three years and hated for three years. Before, I thought he was tall and handsome, my sky. Now what? He is just a pitiful person bound by feudal rites. If you don't know how to love, you don't deserve to be loved.

“Tieu Canh Hanh.”

I spoke, my voice echoing along the light pillar far away.

“I have to go.”

“For the past three years, it seems like we are even.”

My body started to become transparent. The fingertips gradually dissolve into the air. Tieu Canh Hanh went crazy. He frantically banged on the light curtain, screaming my name.

"Tham Niem! You can't leave!"

"This king doesn't allow you to go! You are my king's man!"

"Go back! It's the king who's wrong! The king won't give the pearl to Uyen Doanh anymore!"

"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you! Don't go! Please don't go!"

He knelt on the ground, his head, which was always held high and cocky, now hitting the cold stone floor hard. Blood flowed freely. Tu Uyen Doanh also rushed up. Seeing the scene before her eyes, she was initially scared, then crazy with joy.

“A Hanh, she is a demon!”

"Look, she's a monster turned into a monster! She should have died a long time ago!"

“It's good to die! It's good to die!”

Tu Uyen Doanh clapped his hands and cheered, with a twisted smile of delight on his face. Tieu Canh Hanh suddenly turned his head. That look. Dark, violent, like a devil just crawling out of hell. He strangled Tu Uyen Doanh's neck. Lift her whole body off the ground.

“It's you…”

"It was you who pushed her away!"

"If it weren't for you insisting on that dance, insisting on insulting her..."

“How could she leave?!”

Tu Uyen Doanh tried to pat his hand, her face was as purple as a pig's liver.

“Ah… Hanh… let go… of your hand…”

My vision started to blur. Last look before leaving. I saw Tieu Canh Hanh throw Tu Uyen Doanh away like trash. Then desperately reached out to me. In his hand he still held a piece of cloth torn from the hem of my shirt.

“Nim Niem—!”

The light flared up intensely. The world was engulfed in a blanket of white.

I disappeared. Completely disappeared from this world. On the top of Tinh Lau, only an empty dance costume remained. And the Unicorn jade block has lost its light. Tieu Canh Hanh knelt on the ground, his trembling hands holding that outfit. There are still my blood stains on my shirt, my warmth still remains.

“Where are you?”

“Where did such a living person disappear to?”

He looked around blankly, his eyes bewildered.

“Find me, all of you go find her!”

Like a lost child.

“Come out here... Tham Niem, come out here for me!”

“Don't hide anymore, my king won't punish you.”

"This king takes her back to the main courtyard, chases Uyen Doanh away, and will only be with her from now on, okay?"

Only the cold wind howled in response to him. Page Nguyet Hoa Pavilion Looking at Tieu Canh Hanh muttering incoherently, the guards knelt down on the ground, no one dared to breathe loudly. Tu Uyen Doanh cowered in the corner of the wall, clutching her neck and coughing. Seeing Tieu Canh Hanh's appearance at this time, her heart welled up extreme fear.

“Ah Hanh... she is dead.”

"It's just a demon, once dead it's clean..."

“Shut up!”

Tieu Canh Hanh turned around and pulled out the sword at his waist. The tip of the sword pointed straight at Tu Uyen Doanh's throat.

“If it weren't for you, Niem Niem wouldn't have died.”

"It was you who killed her!"

He wants to kill people. I want to tear the woman in front of me into a hundred pieces.

“Where are you?”

Tieu Canh Hanh screamed hoarsely, like an evil god from hell.

“Get this poison woman down!”

“Cut your tongue! Break your arms and legs!”

"If you like to see others humiliated like that, then throw yourself into the military barracks as a soldier!"

"Let her be ridden by thousands of people and trampled on by thousands of people! Life is better than death!"

Tu Uyen Doanh's eyes widened and he struggled.

"No! Big brother! You can't treat me like that!"

"I am the young lady of the Tu family! My father is a great general!"

Tieu Canh Hanh looked at her coldly.

“From family?”

“Command this king.”

"The family taught their children not to be strict and tolerated their daughters doing evil things."

“Immediately confiscate all assets, men will be conscripted into the army, and women will be confiscated into the Church Ward Office!”

“This king wants all of you to be buried with Niem Niem!”

Completed processing Tu Uyen Doanh. Tieu Canh Hanh seemed to have his life drained from him. He grabbed that dance outfit and staggered back to the service room. He must find me. Even if the earth were toppled over, I would still be found.

“Nim Niem!”

He kicked open the door and rushed in. The room was empty. There was only an old wooden bed with a moldy blanket on top. In the corner of the room is a chipped bowl. Even for dogs, no one wants to use it.
