Chapter 1
Chapter 1 — Hong Nhan Muu
The general fell in love with an orphan girl he brought back from the frontier, and insisted on breaking up with me. Later, I married into the general's palace. On the day they got married, that orphan girl left an envelope and said goodbye without saying goodbye. The general blamed her death on me. After helping the new emperor ascend the throne, he banished our entire Ninh family.
"Ning Trieu Y, if it wasn't for you, Ngoc Nhi wouldn't have died!"
When I opened my eyes again, I returned to the day he came to the door to say goodbye.
"This marriage was given by the emperor. If the general wants to cancel the engagement, then go directly to the palace and ask for the emperor's decree."
“The Emperor will definitely satisfy your wishes.”
In this life, relying on public resistance is just like that, just let you do it alone. That gloomy and gloomy afternoon, my father, elder brother and all my family members were tied up in front of the market gate and beheaded by the public. The beheading officer is my husband, Dinh Bac Marquis Tieu Hoai Phong. He ordered someone to tie me to the scene, forcing me to kneel under the stage and watch with my own eyes how the Ninh family's seventy-nine lives died one after another, and how blood flowed into rivers on the ground. No matter how much I knelt down and begged, I couldn't stop his determination to destroy the entire Ninh family. It suddenly rained heavily. Even my three-month-old nephew, he refused to let go. In the pouring rain, the executioner raised his knife and lowered it. The childish cry suddenly fell silent amid the rain, and the pale yellow diaper was dyed red in an instant. Rainwater and blood flowed all over the ground. In an instant, my whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, I could no longer even struggle, and in front of my eyes was only a blood red color in the middle of the rain:
“Why… why?”
I don't understand. Tieu Ninh's two families were originally close friends, he and I have known each other since childhood. The ancestors of both families have made glorious contributions to the Dai Nguyen dynasty, and the emperor personally gave the two of us marriage blessings. When he fought on the frontier and fell into trouble, the court up and down were all clamoring for surrender. Despite all objections, our parents did their best to support him, gathering food everywhere to help him break out of the siege and escape the war. However, after gaining power, he took the charge of "treason against the enemy" and banished our entire Ninh family.
“Let her go.”
Tieu Hoai Phong smiled extremely happily and proudly walked down from the stage. As soon as I saw him approaching, the guard escorting me immediately let go. I took the opportunity to tighten the golden brooch in my hand and fiercely stabbed it towards him. The lower abdomen suddenly felt a sharp pain. The silver-white blade stabbed straight into my body, bright red blood streaked from my stomach straight to my back. The tip of the knife was stained with blood, drop by drop continuously falling. Unfortunately, there were guards who stopped him, but in the end they still couldn't kill him. The golden brooch was only two inches away from his throat, my eyes were filled with hatred: "Why... why?" Even if I die, I still want to know clearly. Tieu Hoai Phong grabbed my hand, forcefully turned it in another direction, and fiercely stabbed the golden brooch into my chest.
"Ning Trieu Y, this is the debt you owe Ngoc Nhi."
He gritted his teeth. The fierce face held the golden brooch and stirred it vigorously in my chest. Nhan Ngoc Nhi? It was the orphan girl, as weak as a willow branch in the wind, that he brought back, so weak to the point of not being able to take care of oneself. I couldn't help but laugh sadly. It turns out that from beginning to end, he never forgot her. Even blaming her death on me. I was in so much pain that I could barely stand, my fingers tightened around his wrist, filled with hatred:
“Tieu Hoai Phong, you are not worthy of being human…”
Tieu Hoai Phong's remaining hand suddenly pulled out the hilt of the knife that was stuck in my stomach. The pain was so intense that I couldn't suppress the fishy taste filling my throat, so I spat out a mouthful of blood at him. Then fell into endless darkness.
“Miss, are you awake?”
The noisy and bustling crowded market had disappeared and was never seen again. The lightning thundered, the crazy windy and rainy weather also disappeared and was never seen again. I suddenly opened my eyes. The general fell in love with an orphan girl he brought back from the frontier, and insisted on breaking up with me. Later, I married into the general's palace. On the day they got married, that orphan girl left an envelope and said goodbye without saying goodbye. The general blamed her death on me.
