Chapter 2 — I married him, but I personally married Bach Nguyet Quang into the palace

Everyone said that as soon as the daughter of Tran Quoc Cong Giang Tri Lang got married, she was abandoned by her husband, Crown Prince Due Vuong, on her wedding night, showing how unfavored she was. The next morning, with two faint dark circles under my eyes, I arrived on time in front of my father and mother to ask for their blessings. Co Lam Xuyen indeed returned before dawn. At this moment, he sat next to me, his face even more unsightly than mine, his body still lingering with the cold air of the morning and a faint scent of powder as if it were nothing. The mother, Due Vuong Phi, looked at me, her eyes filled with sadness and guilt. His father, Due Vuong, his face was full of anger, he picked up the tea cup on the table and was about to throw it straight at Co Lam Xuyen.

"Naughty son!"

In my previous life, at this exact moment, I burst into tears, making everyone even more convinced that I had suffered extreme injustice. When the old king saw me crying, he became even angrier and immediately sent someone to bring the family law. But this time, before he had an attack, I stood up and knelt down first.

"Please calm down your anger, Father!"

"You can't blame the husband for this, it's all the daughter-in-law's fault. Last night... it was because the daughter-in-law was not feeling well and was afraid of transmitting the disease to her husband, so she advised him to go to the study to rest."

The old man's hand holding the cup of tea stiffened in mid-air. He looked at me with disbelief. Co Lam Xuyen also suddenly turned his head to look at me, his eyes were extremely complicated, with surprise, doubt, but most of all, the awkwardness of being seen through. Perhaps he thought that this act of my hypocrisy made him despise me even more than my crying and rioting.

"Hmph, Giang Tri Lang, I really underestimated you."

He lowered his voice, using a volume loud enough for only the two of us to hear, and sarcastically said:

"Such a mind, it really makes me look at her with different eyes."

I didn't pay attention to him, just raised my head to look at my father, my eyes were sincere and earnest.

"Father, husband and wife sometimes have some personal feelings. It's the daughter-in-law who doesn't understand things, making you and your mother-in-law worry. Please punish me."

Old Vuong Gia choked a breath in his chest, unable to be angry anymore, in the end he could only heavily put down the tea cup and glared at Co Lam Xuyen.

"Hmph! Out of respect for Tri Lang, I said I'll help you, this time I'll let you off the hook! If you dare to be confused again, I'll break your leg!"

The mother-in-law took my hand and stuffed a heavy purple wooden box into my lap, inside were the keys and the butler's token of the Royal Palace.

"Good child, you have suffered a loss."

"Lam Xuyen... what a bastard! From now on, this house will be left to you to manage. Whoever dares to make you feel resentful, just tell me, I will be the master for you!"

Having finished speaking, she ordered people to carry several large chests, inside were all sparkling jewels and jewels. I respectfully accepted it, thanking my mother-in-law. Next to me, Co Lam Xuyen saw that I was so valued by my mother-in-law, her face became even more gloomy. Perhaps he thought that using one night of suffering in frustration in exchange for the power and wealth of the entire Royal Palace, it was a very good deal. It's not just too good. In this life, what we want is more than that. On the third day after taking over as housekeeper, I began to patrol the shops in the name of the Royal Palace. Tran Bao Trai is in place The most prosperous in the capital, it is the largest jewelry store of the Royal Palace. I want the whole capital to see that the current head of the household of Due Vuong's mansion is me, Giang Tri Lang. Sure enough, I met On Dao Nguyet in the store. She was dressed in an elegant white dress, with no makeup on her face, yet she appeared even more pitiful and weak, making anyone who saw her unable to help but feel moved. She caressed her slightly protruding belly, frowned slightly and said to the shopkeeper:

"Although this jade brooch is of very good quality, the design is too old. Lam Xuyen will not like me wearing it."

As soon as she saw me walk in, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but immediately after that she straightened her back, as if intentionally showing off, calling out the two words "Lam Xuyen" both softly and affectionately. Around me, the noble ladies immediately looked towards me with eyes waiting to see the joke. If it were me in my previous life, I would definitely have been so angry that I would tremble and immediately make her lose face on the spot. But now, I just smiled and stepped forward and said to the counterman:

"Bring the best blood jade bracelet in your store here for Miss On to see."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, looking at me and then at On Dao Nguyet, not knowing who to listen to.
