Chapter 9 — I Actively Yield My Husband To The Benefactor Who Saved His Life

To Nhuoc Huyen glanced around the whole school, her lips trembled a few times, suddenly she covered her face with her hands and sat down, sobbing.

“I didn't lie to him... I'm just... I'm just afraid he doesn't need me anymore..."

"He doesn't remember anything. To him, I'm everything... if I said I only used a bullock cart to pull people home, would he feel that I'm not worthy..."

The soft-hearted ladies began to show hesitation. But I didn't give her any chance to breathe.

“There is one more thing.”

I took out the pharmacist's appraisal letter from my sleeve.

"The so-called secret remedy for headaches that Mrs. To has been giving Little Marquis for the past two years is a medicine called An Hon Thao. This medicine, if used in small amounts, can relieve pain, but if used for a long time in large amounts, it will cause chaos in the mind, making it difficult for memories to recover. Furthermore, once the medicine is stopped, it will give you a headache that feels like your skull will crack."

The entire hall instantly fell into complete silence. To Nhuoc Huyen raised her head, the tears on her face had not yet dried but her eyes had completely changed.

“This is the assessment result of the best pharmacist in the South.”

“Lady To, is your secret medicine to cure illness... or is it to feed illness?”

To Nhuoc Huyen's lips trembled but she couldn't utter a word. Mrs. Bui's legs felt weak and she fell directly into the chair. The whispers in the hall immediately rose like a tidal wave. I turned around and nodded slightly to Mrs. Bui.

“Madam, what should be seen has already been seen.”

“What to do next is the Bui family's business.”

I turned around and walked out of the Bach Hoa Hall. From behind came To Nhuoc Huyen's heart-wrenching screams.

"I didn't hurt Hanh Chi! I was just afraid he would leave me!"

No one responded to her. What happened at the bird's nest festival spread throughout the capital in just one day. From teahouses to backrooms, everywhere is talking about this "fake Bui family's new wife" scandal. To Nhuoc Huyen from a "love-stricken life-saver" directly turned into a "scheming woman who used drugs to tie people up", her reputation plummeted. That very day, Bui Hanh Chi had the palace gate tightly closed, not meeting anyone. The news was obtained by Thanh Hoa from a little maid in the Bui palace.

“Miss, after Little Marquis returned to the palace, he threw a huge tantrum and destroyed all the furniture in the study.”

“What about To Nhuoc Huyen?”

“She knelt in front of the study door and cried all night, but Little Marquis still did not open the door.”

I said nothing. Bui Hanh Chi's past life feelings for To Nhuoc Huyen are real. This life is the same. He will not immediately abandon To Nhuoc Huyen because of this matter. But once trust is broken, it is broken. Three days later, Mrs. Bui arrived at Moc Palace. Her face was very bad, as if she hadn't slept for several days.

“Van Duong and Hanh Chi refused to stop taking the medicine.”

"To Nhuoc Huyen told her that An Hon Thao would indeed make people dependent, but she had no other choice. If she didn't use An Hon Thao, Hanh Chi's headache would be even more severe, she just chose the lesser harm between the two."

“Does Hanh Chi believe it?”

Mrs. Bui smiled bitterly.

“Even now It created a problem with To Nhuoc Huyen, but the headache was real. As soon as I stop taking the medicine, the pain becomes unbearable, and only the medicine mixed by To Nhuoc Huyen can ease it."

This is the scary part of An Hon Thao. It makes people dependent, and at the same time becomes the only antidote. To Nhuoc Huyen has turned herself into someone that Bui Hanh Chi cannot leave.

"Don't rush, ma'am. I will ask my great-grandmother to invite a southern pharmacist to the capital and personally prescribe medicine for Little Marquis."

Mrs. Bui held my hand tightly, her lips trembling.

“Van Duong, these things should not bother you. It's the Bui family who is sorry for you."

“It has nothing to do with the Bui family.”

“It was me who wanted to make things clear.”

After Mrs. Bui left, Mrs. Thai stepped out from behind the screen.

“That woman named To is even more difficult to deal with than I thought.”

“Grandmother, she is not difficult to deal with.”

“It's because she held Bui Hanh Chi too tightly.”

"As long as Bui Hanh Chi's headache is not cured, she will still have support without fear."

The Thai lady nodded.

"The pharmacist is already on his way. He will arrive in five days."

"But before that, you have to be careful of To Nhuoc Huyen's dog pulling at the same hedge."

As soon as the words ended, Thanh Hoa hurriedly ran in.

“Miss, something happened!”

"The news came from the Bui residence. To Nhuoc Huyen told the Tieu Marquis family that the Moc family sent someone to investigate her because Miss Moc had not yet lost hope with the Tieu Marquis family and wanted to separate their husband and wife."
