Chapter 14 — I Actively Yield My Husband To The Benefactor Who Saved His Life

Father raised his hand to interrupt me.

“I don't need to be controlled anymore.”

“Leave this matter to me.”

"As for Phuong Khanh An, I have asked someone to investigate his books."

“In half a month there will definitely be real evidence.”

“What about To Nhuoc Huyen's side?”

Father looked at me.

“What your great-grandmother said was right.”

“Just let her run.”

“When a person feels guilty when running away, it is the time when they are most likely to reveal their vulnerability.”

I walked out of the study room, the night wind blew across my face. The pear tree in the garden was bare, only dry branches remained. In my previous life, under this tree, young Bui Hanh Chi smiled and stuffed a piece of jade into my hand.

"Moc Van Duong, if I don't marry you in this life, I won't marry anyone else."

I stood looking at that tree for a long time before turning around and returning to the room. Bui Hanh Chi searched for To Nhuoc Huyen for three days. From big to small, he had searched all the inns and restaurants in the capital. But the inn where To Nhuoc Huyen hid used a fake name to register, so Bui Hanh Chi still couldn't find him. On the fourth day, he went to Moc Palace. You're not here to question me. He stood in the lobby, his face showing fatigue, his body still covered in dust and wind from days of continuously searching.

"Miss Moc, Nhuoc Huyen left, I can't find her."

I look at him. This was the first time he used that tone to talk to me. No more coldness. No more hostility. It's a kind of bewilderment and helplessness.

“You came to find me because you thought I knew where she was?”

"Not."

He paused for a moment.

“I just wanted to ask you.”

“You have investigated her for so long, what kind of person do you think she is?”

I don't answer right away.

“You want to hear the truth?”

“To Nhuoc Huyen is a very smart woman.”

"She knows what you care about and will use that thing to control you."

"If you love her, she will use her love to tie you down."

"You're afraid she'll be wronged, so she'll turn herself into a pitiful person for you to see."

"You started to doubt her, she ran away because she knew you couldn't bear it."

Bui Hanh Chi stood still, not saying a word.

“But everything she did, in the end, was just something a woman who was afraid of losing her husband would do.”

“Use An Soul Grass to hold you back.”

“Lying that I saved you.”

“Jump into the lake and then accuse me.”

“Use the baby in your belly as a bargaining chip.”

“Leave to force your heartache.”

“Every step steps precisely on your weak point.”

Bui Hanh Chi's fist slowly tightened.

“Do you hate her?”

He suddenly asked.

“No regrets.”

He raised his head.

“She just wants to hold you too much.”

“I'm just sorry she used it the wrong way.”

Bui Hanh Chi was silent for a long time.

“These past few days, I've been dreaming about a lot of things.”

My breathing stopped slightly for a moment.

“I dreamed of a man standing under a tree full of blooming flowers, wearing an almond-colored shirt.”

“She smiled at me and called my name, but I couldn't hear what she said.”

He looked at me.

“Miss Moc, is that person... you?”

I looked straight into his eyes. In those phoenix eyes there was something extremely pale but extremely familiar.

“Bui Hanh Chi, whoever that person is Right now your wife is still To Nhuoc Huyen."

"Your child is also in her belly."

“You shouldn't have come to ask me these things.”

He opened his lips but couldn't say a word. I stood up.

“Go back and find your wife.”

“She hasn't gone far.”

Bui HanhChi stood at the door for a moment then turned and left. The Thai lady stepped out from behind the screen.

"Why don't you tell him where To Nhuoc Huyen is?"

“It's useless to tell him.”

“If he doesn't think it through himself, even if he says it a hundred times, it's just a waste of effort.”

The lady looked at me for a long time before nodding.

“That's right.”

“You really see more clearly than your mother.”

That night, Bui Hanh Chi found To Nhuoc Huyen. It wasn't because he found it himself. It was because To Nhuoc Huyen proactively showed up. She stayed in the inn for five days, waiting until Bui Hanh Chi became so impatient that she intentionally let people see her on the street. When Bui Hanh Chi took her back to Bui Palace, To Nhuoc Huyen hugged her stomach and cried the whole way. But this time, Bui Hanh Chi did not coax her anymore. He took her back to the hospital and sent two women to guard her day and night, not allowing her to step out of the hospital. After the news of To Nhuoc Huyen's detention spread, the wind direction in the capital changed once again. Before that, there were still people who sympathized with her because "she was pregnant and her husband ignored her".
