Chapter 7 — I Actively Yield My Husband To The Benefactor Who Saved His Life

Compared to her formal appearance when she first arrived in the capital, she has now learned how to smile politely towards others. It's just a pity that the smile was too forceful, the corners of the lips were so tight that it was unnatural. When we arrived, there were already many people arriving first. As soon as they saw me enter, the atmosphere immediately became quiet for a moment. To Nhuoc Huyen raised her head to see me, the smile on her face stiffened slightly but quickly returned to normal.

“Sister Moc is here, please sit down.”

I nodded faintly and then found a place to sit down. Bui Hanh Chi stood next to To Nhuoc Huyen, his cold eyes swept over me but said nothing. Halfway through the party, To Nhuoc Huyen stood up, drank the wine, and walked towards me.

"Sister Moc, what happened before was because I didn't understand the situation and offended you. I would like to punish myself with three cups to admit my mistake."

After speaking, she raised her glass of wine and drank three cups in a row. There were immediately applause all around. Several ladies who didn't know the inside story simultaneously praised her for her generosity.

“Look at people, they really know how to be polite.”

“That's right, Miss Moc should also be a little more generous, don't always hold on to the past and not let go.”

I held the cup of wine in my hand but didn't touch it. Three cups of wine down her stomach, To Nhuoc Huyen's cheeks gradually turned red, making her even more pitiful and weak. She leaned closer to me, lowered her voice, the sound was only loud enough for the two of us to hear.

“Sister Moc, I know everything about you secretly investigating me.”

My hand holding the cup did not move at all.

“You just go ahead and investigate, I'm not ashamed.”

After speaking, she stood up straight, smiled gently and turned to leave. Don't feel ashamed. In her previous life, she also wrote these four words in her suicide note. I slowly put down the wine cup. When the banquet was almost over, Bui Hanh Chi suddenly stood up.

"Today I invite you to come here. In addition to introducing Nhuoc Huyen to everyone, there is another thing."

The entire hall immediately became quiet. Bui Hanh Chi looked at To Nhuoc Huyen and then looked around the whole school.

"Nhuoc Huyen is my wife, her identity does not need anyone to doubt."

"In the future, if anyone dares to gossip, they will be enemies of our Bui palace."

His eyes passed over me but did not stop.

"Also, recently someone secretly investigated Nhuoc Huyen's background, I know about it."

"Nhuoc Huyen is pure and married into the Bui family. Anyone who wants to throw dirty water on her must first pass through my gate."

As soon as the words ended, the entire hall immediately echoed with accompanying voices. To Nhuoc Huyen lowered her head and wiped the corner of her eyes, her face full of emotion. Several ladies whispered loudly in their ears, their eyes looking at me gradually became confused. I stood up and bowed to Mrs. Bui.

“Madam, Van Duong would like to leave first.”

Mrs. Bui quickly pulled my hand back.

"Van Duong, Hanh Chi, it's not aimed at you..."

“I know.”

I pulled my hand away and laughed softly.

“Madam, rest assured.”

When I stepped out of Bui Phu's main gate, the wind outside began to cool down a bit. Thanh Hoa walked behind, so angry that her face turned red.

"Miss, Little Marquis is clearly deliberately warning you in front of everyone! Based on what Yes!”

"Based on the fact that he is Marquis, based on the fact that he still does not know what To Nhuoc Huyen has done."

We got into the carriage and let down the curtain.

“After returning to the palace, write a letter for me to send to Bac Cuong.”

“Send it to whom?”

“Deputy General Chu, former subordinate of Bui Hanh Chi.”

Half a month later, Deputy General Zhou's reply arrived. Along with the reply, there were two more people. Two soldiers that year carried Bui Hanh Chi out of the Bac Cuong battlefield. They wandered around to a small town in the Northwest. When Deputy General Chu found them, they were both working in a blacksmith shop and were almost chased away. I met them in the heavenly hall of Moc Palace. Two young men, black and thin, covered in dust and wind, knelt down and bowed their heads as soon as they entered.

“Miss Moc, Deputy General Chu said he is investigating what happened that year.”

“You guys tell me everything about that day.”

The older person spoke first.

“That day our army was defeated, Marquis was seriously injured, several of our brothers and subordinates risked their lives to carry Hau to a distance and then ran all the way to the South.”

"The soldiers behind were chasing too quickly. The horse pulling the cart was hit by an arrow so they couldn't run anymore."

"The subordinates did not dare to stop for long, so they could only carry Marquis and put it under a large tree on the side of the road, give simple first aid to stop the bleeding, leave dry food and water bags and then continue running a little further to lure the pursuing soldiers away."

"When the subordinates cut off the chase and went back to look for Marquis, he had already disappeared."
