Chapter 19 — I Actively Yield My Husband To The Benefactor Who Saved His Life
“You don't want to see him again in this life!”
Deputy General Zhou immediately stood up.
“Madam, don't get excited.”
“If you have anything, say it slowly.”
To Nhuoc Huyen burst into a mournful laugh.
“What do you mean slowly?”
“Do you know how I lived these past few months?”
“Locked up in a small room.”
“Even my own children are not allowed to hug me.”
"If you eat, you will eat the rice of the people."
“We wear old clothes from last year.”
“I have been married to the Bui family for a long time.”
“Is this my end?”
“Her end…”
"It's because she herself walked forward step by step."
Bui Hanh Chi slowly stood up.
“You lied and said you saved my life, that was your choice.”
"You let me drink An Soul Herb for two years, making it impossible for me to recover. That was also your choice."
"She secretly went back and forth with Phuong Khanh An, selling out the Bui family, is still her choice."
“I lied because I love you!”
To Nhuoc Huyen screamed in despair.
“I have nothing!”
“I only have you!”
“When you didn't remember anything, I picked you up and took care of you for two years!”
“You once said you only need me in this life!”
“When I said those words…”
"In my mind, it's all about the An Hon Grass that you gave me to drink."
To Nhuoc Huyen's body slightly staggered, as if someone had slapped her fiercely. Deputy General Zhou and several former subordinates looked at each other. No one spoke up for her. Everyone present here knows the story of An Hon Thao. Bui Hanh Chi walked in front of To Nhuoc Huyen and gently hugged the baby who was crying until his voice was hoarse in her arms. To Nhuoc Huyen used her strength to hold the baby's diaper tightly, refusing to let go.
“You give me back my child…”
"The baby is the flesh and blood of the Bui family."
“She can rest assured.”
“I will not mistreat him.”
Bui Hanh Chi said each word very slowly.
“But between you and me…”
“It's no longer possible.”
To Nhuoc Huyen's fingers slowly loosened little by little. She fell to the ground, her eyes lifeless. Mrs. Bui quickly ran from behind and told her mother to hold the baby. Then she walked in front of To Nhuoc Huyen and bent down to look at her.
“To Nhuoc Huyen, the Bui family will not chase you away.”
"In the palace, you still have food and clothing."
“You can come visit me at any time.”
“But from today onwards, you will no longer be the matriarch of the Marquis Palace.”
“The face that you fought for yourself…”
“Our Bui family doesn't accept it anymore.”
To Nhuoc Huyen lay prone on the ground, her shoulders constantly trembling. There was no crying. Even the strength to struggle was gone. The whole hall looked at her but no one stepped forward to help her up. After To Nhuoc Huyen's affairs were completely settled, Bui Hanh Chi submitted a petition to the court, using the excuse of "his father's failure to be virtuous" to request that To Nhuoc Huyen's sentence be revoked. The Emperor prepares. As soon as the news spread, the entire capital knew that To Nhuoc Huyen had transformed from a Marquis's wife into a woman without status. She is still in Bui Palace's heavenly courtyard. But every time you enter or exit, you must notify in advance. If you want to meet guests, you must have Mrs. Bui's approval. In reality, it's like being under house arrest. Several ladies had been close to her before, each one of them Everyone avoids her like evil. Even Mrs. Duong publicly denied the relationship.
“Before, I just thought she was pitiful so I just said a few words to help.”
“Who knew she would do such things behind her back?”
To Nhuoc Huyen went from being the new wife of the Marquis Palace to a laughing stock that everyone was afraid of getting involved with. She is not in jail. Nor were they kicked out of the capital. But in everyone's eyes... She has already died once. Compared to any punishment, this is more cruel. The third day after To Nhuoc Huyen was dismissed, Bui Hanh Chi went to Moc Palace again. This time he did not kneel. He stood in the hospital. Holding an object in hand. I walked out of the room. Seeing what was in his hand, his steps slightly stopped. It's that white jade pendant. The jade pendant that I returned to Mrs. Bui that year.
“Van Duong.”
"This is the token I gave you when I was sixteen."
“I want to return it to you.”
I did not reach out to receive it.
“Bui Hanh Chi, I have already returned this jade pendant.”
“Paid is paid.”
“But we have never recovered it.”
“That year, my mother took it back for me.”
“Now I will bring it back to you myself.”
"If you pay it back, is it considered that you no longer owe the debt?"
Bui Hanh Chi shook his head.
“Not because I want to pay it off.”
“It's because I want to start over.”
I look at him. Start again from the beginning.
