Chapter 8 — Honorable King's Concubine

"Are you stupid? As long as that noble lady is willing, at best you can just marry her. It's okay to let me suffer a bit of resentment... why did you let yourself be beaten..." "Are you stupid!" Vinh Vuong's stiff body completely relaxed at this moment. He did not laugh at my struggling appearance. Nor did they expose my blatant and dishonest behavior two days ago. Vinh Vuong Wei Uyen just quietly looked at me, watching the sincere tears I shed for him. Final. He raised his hand and gently stroked my head. 17Three months later. Brother To Thanh Ha was released from prison. But the verdict for him was also given: exile to Linh Nam. This was the best result after Vinh Vuong silently arranged to save his life. Departure date. The capital city is covered with a little snow. To Uyen Nhi was afraid of the harsh and cold conditions in Linh Nam, so she refused to follow her parents on the journey. In order to stay in the capital, she found her own way and became a concubine for an old noble. The eldest lady of the To family used to always talk about honor and righteousness, and used to scream that she wanted me to die to clear the family's reputation. Finally, he voluntarily climbed into the dirtiest bed. Heard this. To Thanh Ha was so angry that he spat out a large mouthful of blood on the spot. He struggled to go to that noble man's palace and drag his daughter back. But To Uyen Nhi refused to go. She was disgusted to see her father's dirty, smelly body, shouting loudly for him to go away: "I don't want to follow you to Linh Nam to suffer!" "If you still have any courage, why don't you kill yourself in prison and still want to involve us?!" "Go away! I don't have a father who is as guilty as you!" That day. Huge snow filled the sky. In front of the tightly closed gate of the noble palace. To Thanh Ha seemed to have aged ten years in the blink of an eye. The reputation of the elite that he has maintained for half his life, the sister that he did not even regret killing for the sake of fame. In the end, he received nothing. Last. To Thanh Ha bowed her head dejectedly, led her sister-in-law, who was always crying, into the cold wind, onto the desperate road to Linh Nam.15After they left. A prisoner went through many rounds to find the Royal Palace and brought a small package. He said that Lord To had told me again and again that he must deliver it to me. I took it and slowly opened it. Inside is an old silver lock of longevity. That was the lock when I was five years old that my mother made for me herself when she was still alive. I wore it from childhood to adulthood. Until three years ago, when I entered the Royal Palace as a concubine, I felt I was no longer worthy of wearing it, so I left it at home. The prison pawn sighed and said emotionally: "Master To in prison gave the only cotton shirt that could protect against the cold in exchange for food, but even so, he did not sell this silver lock." "He said it was his sister's belongings." "He lost my sister, he couldn't lose this lock too..." After the pawn left. The room was quiet without a sound. I held the cold long-life lock, feeling the cold pain in my palm. While panicking. We seem to see that hot summer again. The sweaty teenager held an old palm leaf fan, fanning it for me while smiling and patting my head. "Thanh Nguyet, don't be afraid. When brother passes the exam, brother will get the red phoenix hat and scarf for you, absolutely won't let anyone bully you." I closed my eyes. A hot tear fell silently onto the silver lock. We pull out the bottom drawer of the dressing table. Put that eternal lock and more than ten years of the past into the deepest place and lock it. The debt has been paid, we will die and not see each other again. The eldest lady of the To family used to always talk about honor and righteousness, and once screamed that she wanted me to die to clear the family's reputation. Vinh Vuong's voice was gentle: "If you are heartbroken, in a few years I will bring him back from Linh Nam." I turned around, faced his deep and hot eyes, and finally smiled with relief. "No need."
