Chapter 3 — Kieu Hoa went to the wrong door, I don't want to go back

"From the Tham family to the General's palace, the roads in the inner city are not difficult to travel."

"But the palanquin circled around the gate of the Thai Pho palace."

“The manager disappeared, the person carrying the palanquin said he was taking the money for work.”

“At this time, the Major General did not ask his subordinates first, but instead asked me why I was standing here.”

“Is that the principle of the General's Palace?”

When I said that, Luc Thua Uyen stopped. He seemed to be trying to suppress his anger, and after a while he spoke:

“We will investigate this matter.”

“What happens after the investigation is completed?”

“If someone is really playing tricks, I will definitely give you an explanation.”

“Can that explanation be able to seal the mouths of all those who stood by and watched the excitement today?”

He was silent. We continue to ask:

“Can the Tham family not blame me for being rude?”

He remained silent.

“Is it possible to keep the elders in the General's mansion from remembering this matter on my mind for the rest of my life?”

Finally, Luc Thua Uyen also spoke up.

"She hasn't even walked through the door yet, so don't speculate like that."

I burst out laughing.

“Young general hasn't protected me yet, but you want me to believe that you will protect me in the future.”

“Is this sale too expensive?”

Luc Thua Uyen's face suddenly changed. The lady of the Tham family was so scared that she continuously waved her hand.

“Miss, you cannot talk to the Major General like that.”

I turned my head to look at her.

“What should I say?”

“Kneel down and admit your mistakes?”

“Or cry and beg the Luc family not to hate me?”

Her lips moved, not daring to answer. Luc Thua Uyen looked at me, his voice softened a bit.

“Tham Duong Ninh, if you come back with me, I will take care of this matter.”

If that sentence had been said before the palanquin went the wrong way, perhaps it would still have reassured people. But now it's too late. I looked at the crimson robe on his body.

“Young general can handle the rumors outside.”

“But can you handle the regulations in the government?”

Luc Thua Uyen replied:

“I am the eldest son of the General's palace.”

“But you stay in the military camp all year round.”

His eyes stopped. My voice became even more calm.

"After I entered the General's palace, the people I had to face were the General's wife, the eldest daughter of the Luc family, the second sister-in-law of the second room, and everyone in the palace."

"Today's incident with the palanquin will become the first whip they can use to teach us the rules."

“Can the young general stay by my side every day?”

Luc Thua Uyen did not answer immediately. Just in that moment. I already know the answer. Whether he is a good guy or a bad guy, it no longer matters. He cannot protect me. Or it could be said that he did not know how, in the backrooms of noble families, just a small matter is enough to reduce a person to ashes. From beginning to end, Co Hoai Nghien did not speak. He was like an outsider observing. But not completely out of the picture. Luc Thua Uyen took a deep breath.

“So you want to marry into the Thai Pho palace?”

I reached out my hand to hold the phoenix coffin, the pearl necklaces gently collided with each other, making a jingling sound.

“The major general said it wrong.”

"It's not that I want to marry into the Thai Pho palace."

"It was the Luc family's palanquin that carried me to the Grand Palace."

Luc Thua Uyen stared at me.

“She intended to blame all the mistakes on the Luc family Star?"

“The fault was originally in the hands of the Luc family.”

His eyes darkened a bit.

“What if I insist on taking you away today?”

The atmosphere in front of the gate of Thai Pho's palace was immediately tense like a guitar string. The entourage behind Co Hoai Nghien placed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his side. Thanh Chi took a step forward in fear, blocking my face. But I passed her and looked straight at Luc Thua Uyen.

“Young general, you should think carefully.”

"Under my feet right now are the steps in front of the gate of the Thai Pho palace."

"Today you robbed people from here, tomorrow at court someone will ask you whether the General's palace or even the Emperor's palace dares to barge in."

Anger in Luc Thua Uyen's eyes was rolling. Finally, Co Hoai Nghien also spoke up.

“Major general.”

His voice is not loud.

“Miss Tham is right.”

Luc Thua Uyen immediately turned to look at him. Co Hoai Nghien calmly said:

"The person who is already standing at the gate of my palace cannot be forcibly taken away by you."

Luc Thua Uyen clenched his fist.

“Does Master Gu also want to get involved in this marriage?”

Co Hoai Nghien looked at me. That look was very light. But it's like he's considering a move. Then he said:

“If she voluntarily leaves with you, I will not stop her.”

"If you don't want to, no one will be able to attack in front of the gate of the Thai Pho palace today."

My heart suddenly felt a little lighter. Luc Thua Uyen turned his head to look at me.

“Tham Duong Ninh, I ask you one last time.”

“Are you following me or not?”

At the end of the long street, someone poked his head to look. The bride gave the wrong door. Thai Pho Palace. This drama will sooner or later spread throughout the capital. If we step back. We will lose completely. If we move forward. Not sure if we won completely. But at least this path is our own choice.
