Chapter 17 — I Thought I Was A Serious Person, But I Didn't Know That's Not The Truth

Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

The old man with messy hair was kicked in front of everyone, revealing his true appearance - I recognized him as the old Marquis of the Ta Hoanh family who had practiced for many years. Logically speaking, Ta Hoanh had been cultivating the Tao for many years, and should have had the appearance of pioneering the Tao, but the person in front of him was eating well, and his eyes were filled with the nothingness of someone who was excessively needy. Along with Ta Hoanh being brought before the Emperor and Empress, there were more than ten paintings. Each painting that opens shows seductive beauties — each beauty's face is painted as the Queen Mother. The Crown Prince did not hesitate to point out: "This Ta Hoanh on the surface says he has been cultivating for many years because he lost his wife, but he does not worship gods and Buddhas, but rather worships the beauty and paintings of his great-grandmother Hoang!"

"The royal grandmother on the painting of the beauty is painted lifelike, every year is different. If we didn't meet every year, how could Ta Hoanh paint so realistically?"

"Your Majesty, every year at the beginning of spring you have to leave the palace to worship Buddha for three months. During these three months, are you practicing, or are you in love?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that her whole body trembled and she roared at the Queen: "Queen! How do you govern your children?!" The Queen respectfully said: "Mother, what the Crown Prince said really has witnesses and physical evidence." Ly Truong Diep faced the Queen Mother's eyes: "Ta Hoanh's mountain cultivation site is no more than ten miles from Van Phat Temple. Every spring people come out of the palace to meet him every day. Aren't you really afraid that another Ta Thuy An will be born?" I stood aside and listened with my eyes bulging out — what does that mean? Ta Thuy An is the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother and the old Marquis? No wonder the Queen Mother favored Ta Thuy An so much that she even had to intervene in his marriage! No wonder Ta Thuy An was able to persuade the Queen Mother and plot her plans at today's banquet! All of this, the Queen Mother, this mother, wanted to vent her anger to her young son! The Queen Mother's face turned pale: "Emperor, you just let your son insult your mother!" Vinh Canh De's face was extremely ugly:

"Mother, today you are keeping everyone away, just to hide your bad things."

Before Ta Hoanh was escorted up, he was tortured and pried open by the Crown Prince's people, revealing everything. I don't know what tricks Ly Truong Diep used to make a mischievous person like Ta Hoanh crazy. He was now crazy, seeing the Queen Mother, he shouted loudly: "Nhu Nhi, will you come this spring? Will you come!"

"Nhu Nhi" was the Queen Mother's maiden name in the past.

At Ly Truong Diep's signal, Co Thieu Vu escorted five servants. As soon as they saw the Emperor, they immediately confessed everything.

"In Vinh Hung's thirty-fifth year, when the Queen Mother was angry with the Emperor and left the palace to practice, he and Ta Hoanh resumed their old love. After that, they met every day at the mansion, living as husband and wife." The old housekeeper of the mansion said.

"In Vinh Hung's thirty-sixth year, the Queen Mother became pregnant outside the palace, so that this child could have a legitimate and honorable identity..."

The cunning ghost endured his punishment and honestly told the story of the past:

"Ta Hoanh immediately used medicine to make his first wife Lieu Thi have a fake pregnancy. In fact, she took Menh Kho grass, Lieu Thi's belly was swollen, a doctor cooperated to cover it up, she thought she was really pregnant."

"Her mother-in-law loved the Marquis very much. She had been praying for a child for many years, but when she got this child, she was happy every day, until ten months later, the mother-in-law suddenly bled."

"That day, Ta Hoanh poisoned all the confidants and servants next to the mother, only letting those who had signed a death contract with the Marquis Palace into the delivery room. We watched helplessly as the mother had a stomach ache and bled to death. At the moment the mother took her last breath, Ta Hoanh held the newborn baby wrapped in diapers in front of everyone, saying that his wife had a difficult birth and died - in fact, he cut open the mother's abdomen, giving this illegitimate child a position of honor. agreement!"

"All of this is a cover-up for the world, and that newborn baby is, just ——"

The servants who knew this old story all looked towards Ta Thuy An. The Queen Mother's face turned pale, and her mother instinctively shielded herself in front of Ta Thuy An. Ta Thuy An was sheltered behind, his whole body covered by a deep humiliation - he had built his reputation well over the years, precisely to hide the truth about his illegitimate status, now being torn apart in front of everyone, more than anger, the first thing that engulfed him was humiliation and guilt.
