Chapter 1 — I Don't Believe That Humanity Has Gray Heads

General Tran Bac Palace had a mutiny. General Tham Tranh grabbed his long sword, led his family assistant and rushed straight to the western courtyard to save his concubine and son. It wasn't until dawn that the guards remembered coming to the main courtyard. They found the general's wife Giang Van Tu in a pool of blood all over her body. She didn't cry or make a fuss. Even when the guard helped her to stand up, she still calmly pressed down on the wound that was constantly bleeding. But up and down in the government still noticed something unusual. On the first day, she handed over the housekeeper's key to the concubine. On the second day, she closed the door and did not see Tham Tranh, even pushing him to the West Court. On the third day, she removed the incense sticks that were renewed every day on the table in the study room. 1The Northern General's Palace had a mutiny. General Tham Tranh grabbed his long sword, led his family assistant and rushed straight to the western courtyard to save his concubine and son. It wasn't until dawn that the guards remembered coming to the main courtyard. They found the general's wife Giang Van Tu in a pool of blood all over her body. She didn't cry or make a fuss. Even when the guard helped her to stand up, she still calmly pressed down on the wound that was constantly bleeding. But up and down in the government still noticed something unusual. On the first day, she handed over the housekeeper's key to the concubine. On the second day, she closed the door and did not see Tham Tranh, even pushing him to the West Court. On the third day, she removed the incense sticks that were renewed every day on the table in the study. Three years ago, Tham Tranh was infected with a deadly poison on the battlefield. She personally tried hundreds of herbs to prepare an antidote for him, but because of that, her roots were damaged and she could no longer heal him. Since then, this scent has never stopped, because every day she hopes she can get pregnant. On the fourth day, she no longer asked about trivial matters in the palace, nor did she ask when the general would return to the palace. It seemed like she had forgotten that she was the female owner of this palace. All day long she just planted flowers, took care of the grass, and lived a very leisurely life. Until today, Tham Tranh finally entered her hospital. He still hadn't taken off his armor, and his body still carried a cold, murderous aura. "Van Tu." He called her, his voice a bit hoarse. Giang Van Tu raised his head, a smile appeared on his face: "The general is here." She did not step forward to welcome him, did not take off his armor like before, did not even stand up. Tham Tranh's heart suddenly sank. He wanted to check the wound on her shoulder, but she leaned away. "The wound has scabbed over, there's no need for the general to worry." She spoke politely and thoughtfully, on the contrary, causing Tham Tranh's hand raised in mid-air to stiffen. "That night... the child in Tuyet Nhu's hospital was still young, the assassin came from that direction, I had no choice but to..." "The general did the right thing. The children are innocent, Aunt To is cowardly, of course I have to protect the two of them." If I were you, I would do the same. I heard that Aunt To has just made a new dish, please come over and try it." Tham Tranh frowned slightly: "Van Tu, why do you keep pushing me over there? Tonight... I want to stay here." Giang Van Tu spoke calmly, without any objections: "Young master can't leave his father at night. It's better for the general to go over there." must rest here." Tham Tranh's voice was stubborn, as if he was angry with himself. "General, my bed is small, can't accommodate three people." As soon as she finished speaking, the maid's urgent voice came from outside the yard: "General! Little master is crying very hard, To Di

I invite you to come and see!" Tham Tranh instinctively stood up. Walking to the door, he stopped again. He turned his head and saw Giang Van Tu still sitting there neatly, without the slightest sadness on his face. "Later I want to drink the tea you cooked. A little later, you'll come to the West courtyard, let's have tea together as a family, the four of us, okay?" Giang Van Tu smiled: "I'm still injured, I won't come over anymore." Seeing the maid of the West courtyard continuously urging him, he felt a little impatient. Seeing that she didn't seem angry, he didn't care too much. "Van Tu, I'll come visit you later. Don't be angry, okay? I sent someone to bring back the best kind of incense for you. Her mother also came to pray to Quan Am for her. We will have a child.” “Thank you, general. The general walked leisurely." She did not raise her head. Tham Tranh also strode away. Close maid T. Tu To's eyes were red and she said in a low voice: "Madam, the general is really too much. How could he talk to you like that... He clearly knew you couldn't have children anymore, but still deliberately mentioned this to cut into your heart. white as snow through the moonlight, she landed. She tied a short flute to the eagle's leg: "Go." Tell that person that the appointment three years ago... I agree." 2This is the eighth year she came to this world. In her previous life, she was a descendant of a family that practiced Chinese medicine for many generations. A car accident caused her soul to penetrate into the body of a daughter of a medical clinic on the border. Here, she met Tham Tranh. At that time, he was still just a young general, his whole body was covered with injuries but still gritted his teeth and refused to cry out in pain. She used the methods The knowledge he learned in his previous life helped save him and at the same time save many soldiers. He once said: "Van Tu, when I finish this battle, I will definitely use ten miles of red to marry you." He did it. The old general personally went to the border to propose, and said that even eight horses could not bring back the man whom the Tham family had identified. The next year, because she wanted to get rid of the remaining poison in his body, she tried drugs to the point of damaging her body, from then on she could no longer have children. A year later, he brought To Tuyet Nhu back. She was a girl who knew how to sing border songs, who knew how to ride a horse and shoot an archery, and every time she smiled, her eyes curved. He said: "Father Tuyet Nhu died to save me. She has no one to rely on." He said: "Van Tu, the Tham family cannot help but have descendants." He said: "Don't worry, you will always be my wife." At first, it was true that he only considered her as the daughter of his benefactor, let her stay in the guesthouse, and told the servants to take good care of him. But I don't know when it started, the number of times he stayed at the guesthouse to eat became more and more. After that, he began to praise To Tuyet Nhu for her vivacity. opened, saying she knew how to tell interesting stories, knew how to ride horses, and wasn't as restrained as the ladies in the capital. It wasn't that Giang Van Tu didn't recognize him. But that rainy night, she brought the sedative soup into the study with her own hands, and when she opened the door, she saw To Tuyet Nhu, her clothes disheveled, standing up in panic, wanting to explain I was scared so I went to find the general to chat. "Do we need to sit on our laps to chat?" Giang Van Tu

He heard his voice shaking. "Van Tu, it's not what you think..." Tham Tranh reached out to pull her. She shook his hand away, turned around and rushed into the rain. That night, she stood in the yard until morning, while he stayed in the study to comfort the frightened To Tuyet Nhu. Three months later, To Tuyet Nhu was diagnosed as pregnant. Tham Tranh came to her hospital, not daring to look her in the eyes. "Van Tu, the Tham family cannot help but have descendants... You understand me, right?" She looked at the man who said he would be with her forever, a couple, suddenly feeling extremely strange. "What if I don't understand?" She asked. He was silent for a long time and then said: "Tuyet Nhu is pregnant. I cannot betray her." That night, Giang Van Tu broke everything that could be broken in the room. She made an extremely unsightly noise, her cries alarmed the entire general's palace. When Tham Tranh ran over, he saw her sitting in the middle of the messy room, her hand cut into a deep wound by a piece of porcelain. "Van Tu!" He rushed to hug her. "Don't touch me. Tham Tranh, either you take her away, or we separate." He stiffened on the spot, and finally said: "Calm down." He chose To Tuyet Nhu. From that day, everything changed. 3To Tuyet Nhu officially became a housekeeper and moved into the West Court. The servants in the palace began to look at their faces and act, gradually calling To Tuyet Nhu "Madam". When Tham Tranh was at home, eight or nine times out of ten he stayed at the West Institute. Giang Van Tu used to make noise, argued, and used all means to hold on. But every time she cried or caused trouble, it only drove Tham Tranh further away from her. He said: "Van Tu, you weren't such a jealous person before." Are you jealous? That's right, she's jealous. She was jealous because that woman could easily have a child that she could never have. She was jealous because that woman could smile so brightly and carefree, while every day she had to worry about his safety. Until that assassination. The assassin that night targeted Tham Tranh. But the sword has no eyes, and the first place to suffer disaster is her yard. When she was slashed in the shoulder, she heard someone outside shouting: "The assassins have run to the West Court! The general has an order, everyone must go to the West Court to protect the little master!" She hugged her wound, hid behind the screen, watching her blood drop by drop to the ground, just like her tears. She didn't want to bleed anymore. I don't want to cry anymore either. She once thought about returning to the old world, but tried every method but still could not return. Unusual astronomical phenomena are very rare. The only chance to leave last year was also given up by her. She just thought she could live happily here. Giang Van Tu turned around and walked to the bed, taking out a sandalwood box from under the pillow. Opening it, there were dozens of letters neatly arranged inside, all written by Tham Tranh to her before. The first time he went to war, he wrote: "Seeing letters is like meeting face to face, waiting for me to return." When he had just recovered from his serious injury, he wrote: "To be able to meet you in this life is Tham Tranh's luck." In the third year after getting married, he wrote: "The years are long, spending with Khanh is the most beautiful time." She opened each letter, looked at it, and then threw it into the coal pot one by one. It wasn't until those constant words of love turned to ash that her numb heart completely calmed down. When the last letter burned out, Giang Van Tu stood up, sharpened the ink, and spread out the paper to write the letter. On the first sheet, she wrote three words: Letter of reconciliation. Then, she took out from the bottom of the box a golden tablet given by the emperor. This is the grace the emperor bestowed on her ancestors in the past.
