Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — Lac An Chua District
Just by looking at those eyes gently, she felt her blood run cold all over her body. Her knees went weak, she slid off Quy Mau's lap. The words that should and should not be said immediately poured out. "Your Majesty, it was I who was wrong!" "It was Tieu Da who said you don't want to accept the marriage decreed by the holy decree. You want Quy Xuong Bo... that's why you came up with this plan!" As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at Tieu Da, her eyes filled with fear and resentment. "You said that after this matter becomes big, the emperor is your uncle and will definitely protect you. To save face, Your Majesty. I will also force you to marry me!” “At that time, the engagement between you and I will be annulled, you can change your marriage to me! It was you who told me to perform this play!” Every word of Quy Bao Chau pounded into everyone's ears like iron nails driven into the ground, unable to be pulled out. Tieu Da's eyes suddenly became fierce and turned to Tham Thua Vien. Clearly he was planning to defy everything. "Xuong Bo was supposed to be my fiancee! There must be someone who knows the truth and is willing to testify for me!" "You just wait there. Sooner or later I will have the chance to take Xuong Bo back!" I grabbed Tham Thua Vien's shirt tightly, took half a step back, and said nothing. Tham Thua Vien slowly spoke. His voice was still as lazy as usual, but carried a sharpness that did not allow for rebuttal. "Is it true? General Tieu, surely you know that royal gifts cannot be given to people casually." "I remember that year you told His Majesty that you would give the fox fur coat and jade kettle given by the king to your fiancee. When you invited the artist to the palace, you also said you wanted to paint portraits of yourself and your fiancee." "But whose hands are those items in now? The person in the painting is you. and who?" "Now you keep saying that Lac An is your fiancee, so what you said before is a crime of lese majesty." Tieu Da's breath suddenly choked. "Even if someone recognizes Lac An's identity?" "The holy edict has been given, the words of heaven can never be taken back. A woman's name is not even recorded in the family tree, whoever the emperor says she is, she is that person!" "I'll tell you the truth, if you don't want to die, no matter how dirty, tattered or damaged Quy Bao Chau is... you have to marry." Having said that, Tham Thua Vien turned around, held my hand, and left the backyard without looking back. On the carriage ride back, I was silent for a moment, remembering the words I had just interrupted by Tham Thua Vien. But he spoke first. "Lac An, you're not stupid. From the beginning, you weren't stupid." My heart pounded, I raised my head to look at him. "Before, my mind was just a little slower than other people's... but that's not stupid." "It's just that I'm in too much pain. It's been in pain for so long that my mind doesn't want to think anymore." Without warning, my tears flowed out, drop by drop falling onto the back of my hand. Tham Thua Vien sighed and reached out to pull me towards him. He didn't wipe my tears like I thought, but bent slightly and gently kissed away the tears that had just slipped down. My whole body stiffened, I forgot to even cry. "Luckily it's salty." He said, with a bit of teasing in his voice. "It seems like all the bitter tears have flowed." "I guess I won't be bullied by anyone today." I blinked, there was still water on my eyelashes, for a moment I didn't know how to react. "Lac An, if you've recovered, today I'll help you get justice, in the future you have to stand up and defend yourself. "After speaking, he reached out and rubbed my head, his movements were very gentle. "Don't be afraid, I will always stand behind you." The bridge of my nose stung, I almost died.
shed tears. But right after that, his voice returned to its usual casual and indecent tone. "But even if you become smart, don't think about leaving me." "You were picked up by me. For the rest of your life, you can only follow me."7 From that day on, Tieu Da was finally forced to marry Quy Bao Chau. After getting married, the two were so chaotic that they couldn't live in peace. Tieu Da criticized Quy Bao Chau's body for being dirty, thinking that she was an insult that Tham Thua Vien put on him. Quy Bao Chau resented Tieu Da for not having the ability, which also caused her dream of climbing high to go up in smoke. The days of flying chickens and dogs did not last long. Dai Ly Tu learned of Tieu Da's mistakes and immediately issued an order to escort him to heaven. The one who took action was none other than me. I understand very clearly, with Tieu Da's personality, he will absolutely not let go of me and Tham Thua Vien. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to strike first. The shady things he did were all kept hidden, we couldn't find any loopholes, but in the world there are always people who can do it. Based on the remaining old memories, we found enough evidence of crime to take the Lady's life. The Emperor was angry, everyone up and down the Quy family was charged with serious crimes. Tieu Da is married to Quy Bao Chau, so of course he cannot escape being implicated.
