Chapter 2 — Khuong Ninh

Luc Van Tranh could not bear to punish her. The midwife who never appeared... became the one to bear the blame. He just frowned slightly, sighed, then hugged Moc Uyen Thanh in his arms, gently comforting him. "Uyen Thanh, don't be afraid. I know this is not your fault. For you to have to witness such a horrible scene with your own eyes, it really makes you feel sad." "That's it... I just blame her for her bad fate and not having the fate to enjoy wealth. At first, I brought Khuong Ninh back to the palace just for the sake of the child in her womb. Now she has passed away, from now on. I will love you even more, and devote all my affection to our children in the future." But now... Why does he show this appearance? I... I can't understand it. … My silence seemed to be automatically taken by Luc Van Tranh as fear. Seeing me not speak for a long time, his anger flared up even more. The pain on her face gradually turned into contempt. "Do you know how to be afraid at this point? When you crawled into my bed, why weren't you afraid? When you voluntarily abandoned my child, how did you not know how to be afraid? Khuong Ninh, who gave you the courage to dare to do such a thing?" I quietly closed my eyes, letting the underground waves roll through my mind. That's not the case. Spring night with Luc Van Tranh... It was never what I wanted. The year Khuong Palace encountered trouble, I was still the daughter loved by the whole family. Unfortunately, his father saw the wrong person and was framed by criminals at court. After using the last bit of effort to exchange for my life, father was unable to save the remaining people in the palace. All were taken to the scaffold. The Duke's Palace was on good terms with his father. After Khuong Palace was in trouble, Luc Van Tranh took me back to the palace to arrange a place to live. That night, when he returned from outside, there was something very unusual about him. Both eyes are confused. Cheeks are red. Later I found out, that day someone wanted to give him a concubine, so they secretly put medicine in the food. Unfortunately... At that time, no one knew. Seeing him walking unsteadily, I quickly ran to help him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he hugged me, his body became even hotter. No longer looks distant and cold like usual. His eyes looked at me... As if he wanted to swallow me to the core. Although I have secretly loved him since childhood. But I know that the person he has loved deeply has always been the daughter of the Minister of Rites Palace... Moc Uyen Thanh. I never dared to dream of being with him. Besides... I already have a fiance. It's just that he is guarding the border. By the time... by the time Diep Tri Chau returned, Khuong Palace had no way to save. At that time, because I was so sad, I was in a coma all day. Fighting on the border is tense. Diep Tri Chau was forced to return to the front line. As for Luc Van Tranh... He carried me into the room and pressed me down. I struggled, trying to keep him awake. So... Where did we go wrong? I looked at him quietly. "After discovering I was pregnant, I left the palace and never told anyone. How did you know I was pregnant?" Luc Van Tranh seemed to not expect me to care about this. He unconsciously touched his nose, his voice somewhat hesitant. "A few days ago I saw you sneaking out to see the groom, so I knew." "Khuong Ninh, is this something worth your concern? What I ask is, if you have my flesh and blood, why didn't you tell me? Why did you voluntarily abandon the baby?" Luc Van Tranh is lying. From the moment I realized something was wrong with my body, I already had seven or eight guesses in my heart. Therefore, I deliberately found a physician outside the city to check my pulse. Furthermore... In my previous life, there had never been a ghost like that. If the previous life's Luc Van Tranh knew I was pregnant... He would absolutely not let me leave alone. Or take me to the manor house. Or force me to give up the child. Yes

I can't wait until I'm seven months old, and the baby can no longer be abandoned, before I run into me again. His eyes became more and more averted. I can almost confirm it. He... was also reborn. I just don't understand... Why does he care so much about the child in my womb in this life? … I don't answer his question. Just spoke softly. "If I remember correctly, next month you will get married to Miss Moc. If I do that... isn't it doing something for you?" "You once said, in your heart there will be no more room for anyone other than Miss Moc. You also promised her a couple of people in one lifetime. If this child is born, how will it live? How will I live? Those things... have you ever thought about it?" His eyebrows frowned even more. c.h.or.t. I didn't shy away, calmly looking straight into his eyes. "Besides... that night was not what I wanted. It was just an accident." "The killer, you have already investigated. So why do you still say that I intentionally crawled into your bed?" The resentment in my heart became increasingly heavier. I couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. "Furthermore, I originally had a marriage contract with your sworn brother. Before he went to the frontier, you promised to take good care of me. Waiting for the day when the frontier is peaceful, he will return to pick me up. Is this how you take care of me?" I don't know which sentence touched his pain. His face flashed with a gloomy look. "The two of you's engagement has long since ceased to be valid! The day you returned the concubine, I was the one who witnessed it. He saw through your thoughts. The person you loved from beginning to end was me! Saying that I would come back to pick you up... just because I saw Khuong Palace's decline, I still had a little bit of gratitude." The corner of his lips curled up into a smile full of certainty.
