Chapter 7 — He Forced Me To Sign A Separation, Unexpectedly I Have Been Waiting For This Day For A Long Time

“It's time for the Duke to taste the fiery backyard.”

"Isn't he feeling proud and feeling confident of victory?"

“Then I'll let him know.”

“What is called too much happiness and then sadness?”

Wei Dien's support is only two things. Firstly, the title of Duke is the face of the royal family. Second, it is Tay Son Dai Doanh that he holds single-handedly. There were five thousand elite soldiers stationed there, which was the foundation for him to live in peace, and also the fangs for his ambition. Title, I cannot touch it for now. But I can pull out his fangs one by one for him. Deputy commander of Tay Son Dai Doanh, named Ly Ho. This person is a confidant promoted by Wei Dien, absolutely loyal to him, and he listens to every word. In his previous life, he led Tay Son Dai Doanh's soldiers and horses to blockade the Tham family, cutting off all our escape routes. My father's head was cut off by him himself. This blood debt, I remember every bit clearly. When dealing with such people, simply threatening or seducing them is useless. We must find his weak point, a fatal blow. Ly Ho's weakness is his old mother, who lives in the countryside and has been in bed for many years. His mother suffered from an extremely rare blood disease and needed a thousand years of Blood Ginseng to prolong her life. This thing is worth thousands of gold and cannot be bought with money. Over the years, Ly Ho has almost spent all of his assets, but has only been able to find a few trees that are not old enough. He could only barely hold a breath for his mother. And in my one hundred and fifty chests of dowry, coincidentally there are three real thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng plants. It is a life preserver that my mother had prepared for me in the past to prevent any unforeseen events. I looked at the Blood Ginseng plant in the brocade box, its whole body was dark red, its shape was human-like, its eyes were cold.

“Thanh Mai.”

“This is my slave.”

“Send someone at night to deliver this Blood Ginseng plant to Ly Gia village, Thuong Chau.”

“Let's just say that this is a gift from an old physician who once received favors from an old friend, and came specifically to repay the favor.”

“Remember, clean it up a bit, don't leave any traces related to us.”

Thanh Mai received the brocade box, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.

“Miss, what is this... why?”

"Don't you want to deal with Ly Ho? Why do you still want to save his mother?"

I smiled slightly.

“The grace of saving lives is greater than heaven.”

“What I want is not his life.”

“What I want is his heart.”

“A heart torn between loyalty and filial piety, eventually completely collapsing.”

Thanh Mai half-understanding and half-uncomprehending nodded and took orders to leave. I turned around and looked out the window. The night is thick. Ly Ho, I hope you like this great gift. Three days later. Tay Son Dai Doanh. Ly Ho received an urgent letter from his hometown. In the letter, his old father spoke to him in shaky handwriting. An old wandering physician, remembering his good deeds in the past, gave him a thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng plant. After his mother finished taking it, her condition improved very well and she was able to get out of bed and walk. At the end of the letter, my father told me again and again. Thank you for saving my life, there is no way to repay it. Tell him that he must be dedicated to working in the army, loyal to the army and reporting to the country, in order to not disappoint his expectations god of medicine. Ly Ho clasped the letter in his hand, a seven-meter-tall man, tears streaming down his face right there. He headed towards his hometown and heavily bowed his head three times. The big rock in my heart was finally let go. Right at that moment, a stream of rumors, like a swarm of flies with wings, quietly spread throughout the military camp.

"Have you heard? The one hundred and fifty dowry chests in the Duke's mansion were not stolen at all!"

“Then what is it?”

“I heard that the Duke himself sent someone to move!”

“Why?”

"You don't understand this matter! Lord Chu, Thi Lang Bo Lai just fell off his horse, the Duke is afraid of being implicated and having his family's assets confiscated!"

“So he stole it himself, and then shouted to catch the thief?”

"What else? Otherwise, think about it, in the middle of the capital, who would have the ability to clean up an entire duchy in just one night?"

"Tsk tsk, it's true that you know people's faces but don't know their hearts."

"The worst thing is still us. I heard that the Duke wanted to make up for the shortfall so he started targeting our military provisions!"

"What?! Cutting military provisions? This is a serious crime that requires beheading!"

"Shh... Keep your voice down! This matter cannot be said indiscriminately!"

The rumors spread, they have a beginning and an end, they sound real.
