Chapter 1 — In this life, my sister and I will not be a chess piece for anyone
The next day, over tea, Co Hanh Chi followed me with a reluctant smile. The hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and the person sitting next to the Marquis was Mrs. Lam Nhi. Before waiting for the tea to be served, I pretended not to understand and asked:
“Why isn't the mother here?”
The Marquis's face stiffened, clearly becoming extremely unsightly. He pointed to Mrs. Lam Nhi sitting next to him and said: "This is your mother."
"Oh, isn't Mrs. Lam Nhi the daughter of the Marquis family? Is it possible that the Crown Prince is really like the outside rumor, the son of the outsider?" After speaking, I immediately covered my mouth, as if I had just accidentally said something I shouldn't have said.
Mrs. An Khanh Hau is currently the eldest daughter of Anh Quoc Cong's palace. Not even two days after she married into An Khanh Marquis's palace, Co Bang Phi, who was still Crown Prince at that time, went to the battlefield because of the Mac Bac battle, and has not been heard from since. To avoid the An Khanh Marquis's palace from ending, they adopted a child from a concubine and gave it to the Crown Prince's wife at that time to raise. That child is Co Hanh Chi. But he was not the son of anything, but the son of Co Bang Phi and his exterior. Co Bang Phi faked his death on the battlefield, lived in a small town less than a hundred miles from the capital, and spent his days as free and easy as an angel. As for all the chaos in An Khanh Hau's palace, he threw it all to my mother who had just entered my door not long ago. Two years ago, the old Marquis passed away, and the Co family performed a scene and found Co Bang Phi pretending to lose his memory. The person who returned with him was also Mrs. Lam, who was also the daughter of a businessman who he said saved him after being injured. Currently, Mrs. Lam Nhi is in charge of managing internal affairs and kitchen work in the Marquis Palace. Co Bang Phi raised her up as his concubine. I'm just sorry for the Great Miss of Anh Quoc Cong's palace, wasting half her life, having no children, wasting her youth and more than half her life on these devils who eat people and don't spit out bones. In the end, they even gave her the title of Marquis, and then moved to live in a deserted hospital. I decided to give her a helping hand.
"Insolent! You are just a junior, how can you say such disrespectful words?"
“As soon as I entered the door, I was disrespectful to my elders. How did the Tham family teach something like you? It's truly a disgrace to family style! Quickly invite the family law, quickly invite the family law!”
Co Bang Phi regained composure, suddenly slammed down on the table, and immediately gave me a huge hat. There was a moment of silence around me, everyone's eyes were looking at me, some were waiting to see a funny show, some were pitiful, but most of them had no good intentions. I laughed contemptuously:
“Tsk, things outside have already caused a stir. How dare your family do something without letting others say anything?
“Whatever our family's teachings are like, if you don't like it, just go to the Minister's Palace to find my parents and ask for advice;
“I also want to see if I'm not married and have a child from outside, how good can such a family be? I'm not afraid that this song will be presented to the Holy Lord. Let's see if your degraded An Khanh Marquis palace can endure it or not?!”
My voice rang out trenchant. More than ten servants followed me with an intimidating aura, all standing in front of the door, immediately making the whole room shiver. When I got married, I brought all the people in my academy with me, all of whom were trained according to my ancestors' military training methods. Normally, they are maids and cleaning staff in our hospital. When there's a problem, even though you can't fight a hundred against a hundred, it's still not a problem to deal with a dozen women with loose hands tied to chickens and a group of people with weak limbs. Unexpectedly, I would dare to openly expose the Co family's dirty affairs. Co Bang Phi shook his hand and pointed at me, both frightened and scared. In the end, he could only let me send someone to invite Mrs. An Khanh Hau. But the people who came along were the old lady Marquis who hadn't stepped out of the courtyard for a long time, and Co Doan Thuan, a child who was constantly rolling his eyes, who came to accept herself on the first day.
