Chapter 7 — Hong Trang Ten Miles Welcomes Her Back

"This is the sudden serious illness you're talking about?" Co Thua Da coldly opened his mouth, his voice so calm that it scared people. The Marquis lay down on the ground and frantically kowtowed: "My lord, spare your life! It was all this single woman's idea! It was she who wanted Kieu Kieu to climb high, so she locked Thua Ngu up! It has nothing to do with me!" When death was in sight, the Marquis directly pushed the Marquis to take the blame. Mrs. Hou looked at the Marquis in disbelief, then shouted madly: "Tham Dai Cuong, you have no conscience! Normally, Kieu Kieu wants you to give it, at that time you clearly agreed with this idea! Now you want to throw all the dirty water on me? Dreaming!" Tham Kieu Kieu was so scared that she cowered into a ball, not even daring to say a word, just kept crying. "Stop arguing." Co Thua Da lost patience and interrupted this dog-bite-dog scene. He tilted his head and gave instructions to the leader of the bodyguards behind him. "Go, strip off that golden yellow dress for me. If she likes to wear red like that, then have someone pour rose oil on her body, hang it on a flagpole outside the door of the Marquis Palace, for the whole capital to see." "No! You can't treat me like that!" Tham Kieu Kieu screamed shrilly and struggled, but two bodyguards went straight forward, three or two had already pulled on their clothes. She took off her robe and pulled her out. "Co Thua Da! Do you still have the king's law in your eyes? You are abusing your privacy!" Marquis was so angry that he gasped loudly. 12 "King dharma?" Co Thua Da seemed to hear the joke, bowed his head, looked at me and smiled. At this moment, outside the main door suddenly came a sharp announcement. "The Queen Mother's intention is to come..." An old eunuch led a team of Musketeers and quickly walked in. As soon as Marquis and Madam Hou heard it, they were immediately happy like crazy, thinking that the Queen Mother had sent someone to save them. They quickly got up and prepared to receive orders. The old eunuch opened the bright yellow edict and read in a high-pitched voice: "Phung Thien inherited the fortune, the Queen Mother decreed: The Tham couple of the Vinh Ninh Marquis Palace have no way to teach women, their virtue is lacking, and yet they dare to plot to deceive the saint, swapping plums for peaches, with fake ones to replace the real ones. Such blasphemous behavior is difficult for heaven to tolerate. Now we take the title of Marquis, the whole family is demoted to commoners, immediately banished from the capital, forever not allowed to be appointed. Try it! As soon as this edict was issued, the Marquis and Mrs. Hau were as if struck by lightning in the clear sky, falling limply to the ground. "No... impossible... How could the Queen Mother be for a girl..." The Marquis muttered to himself, completely devastated. The old eunuch coldly snorted: "Vinh Ninh Hau, do you really think that Tinh Nam Vuong Palace is easy to bully? The Royal Family has already made it clear to the Queen Mother. This marriage is the sole responsibility of this family." I need Miss Tham Thua Ngu alone. You guys dare to play tricks right under the eyes of the prince, you are really looking for your own death! It turned out that Co Thua Da had long been wary of this move by the Marquis. His father, Tinh Nam Vuong, was in the royal court. This Taoist intention is just the last straw that crushed the camel. Co Thua Da was too lazy to look at these dancing clowns one more time. He lowered his head to look at me, his eyes became gentle again. "Thua Ngu, we won't live in this ruined place anymore, brother will take you home." He hugged me, step by step walking out of the gate of the Marquis Palace. Outside the door, one hundred and twenty-eight gift boxes were still intact, and the welcoming palanquin stopped at the front. Meanwhile, Tham Kieu Kieu had her clothes stripped off, her body was filled with rose oil, and she was hung on the flagpole next to her, crying in agony. The surrounding area was filled with people watching the excitement, pointing and pointing. Co Thua Da carefully placed me in the palanquin and turned around

Get on the horse. "Starting the palanquin..." Following the high-pitched chant of the joy lady, the sky-shaking sound of fireworks rang out again. Ten miles of red attire, the vast procession of people rushed towards Tinh Nam Vuong Palace. Sitting in the swaying flower palanquin, the medicinal effects in one's body gradually dissipated, and one's strength also recovered a bit. Through the window curtain of the float, I saw Co Thua Da riding on the back of a tall handsome horse. Seven years ago, he picked me up and took me home from the street of Du Chau city. Seven years later, he was on the streets of the capital, riding a tall handsome horse, carrying red clothes all over the city, bringing me home with all the glory. 13The wedding ceremony was cumbersome and solemn. I was surrounded by a group of brides and maids throughout the entire ceremony, and finally was taken into the cave room. Dragon and phoenix candles brightly light up the new room. I sat on the wedding bed strewn with red apples, peanuts and lotus seeds, hearing the vague sound of wine being offered from outside, feeling a bit tense inside.
