Chapter 7 — Lac An Chua District

Furthermore, he had many enemies in the court. Quy Bao Chau, wanting to protect himself, also revealed many bad things about him. The hands that silently pushed the waves and wind together finally pulled him into the water. Seeing me appear in the heavenly prison, Tieu Da's eyes turned red. "Xuong Bo, do you hate me that much?" "I only planned to trick Tham Thua Vien once... just once." "I want you back by my side. I want to make it up to you well. What's wrong with that?" He took two steps forward, holding the wooden bars tightly, his knuckles turning white. "I'm willing to use all my military merit and glory in exchange for it." Is that not enough to prove anything?" I looked into his eyes and gently shook my head. "Tieu Da, stop pretending..." "Before going to war, in the dark, you told your friends that you don't need an honest wife. Now that you have what you want, why do you regret it?" Because you want to continue to deceive yourself until the last moment? Not only him, even Noble Lady, Noble Mother in the next cell and Quy Bao Chau all had the same surprised look on their faces. After a long while, Tieu Da said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not stupid anymore." "Yes." I looked at him, my eyes darkened. "It's because I'm no longer stupid that I hate you. I hate you for never considering me a human being!" "Before, you didn't choose Quy Bao Chau because you felt you weren't worthy of her, so you stepped on me to lift her up." "Later you achieved military success, felt you were worthy of her, but didn't dare to choose her. You used In exchange for the royal decree of marrying me, you don't even know how I live. It's not because your conscience has awakened, but because you're afraid." "Afraid of the emperor's high position, afraid of the emperor's suspicion, afraid of his colleagues' jealousy." "You're even more afraid of your family's dirty affairs being exposed. If you pretend to be in love with me, you can still use the excuse of 'You mistreat the wife I love, I don't want to be an accomplice, I just want to expose you. The foolish wife stays away from the world' to beg His Majesty for a way to live." When I exposed the truth, Tieu Da's lips trembled, as if someone had just slapped him in the face. He bowed his head and looked at his hands, his knuckles clenched white, but he couldn't say a word. 8 I turned around to look at the cell on the other side. The noble mother was standing behind the wooden bars glaring at me. Seeing me looking over, she immediately shouted: "So what if you're smart? You still don't have half of me in your body!" "You're just jealous of Bao Chau, jealous that she's the only daughter I recognize!" "When you were just born, you made it difficult for me to give birth, and now you're hurting the whole Noble family. You're a comet, an ungrateful thing!" I calmly looked at her, my voice containing pity. "The person who made it difficult for you to give birth was not me, but rather The noble lady is behind you.” The lady whose name was called immediately raised her head, her face pale. He struggled to get up but was pinned down by the prisoner. I looked straight into Quy's eyes and said every word: "Lady, why do you think I'm no longer stupid?" "It's my brother A who found the best doctor to treat me." "The doctor said I was poisoned. That type of poison will make it difficult for the woman to give birth, and from then on she won't be able to get pregnant for the rest of her life. If the fetus is infected, it will die in less than half a day." "But Lord Quy needs you to give birth safely to a child first. Mr. ta

wanted to use that child to exchange with the flesh and bones of the exterior." "So, he waited for her to give birth to the eldest lady, and then it was my turn to give birth before he really risked his life." "But he did not expect my life to be great, not only to be born but also to survive. Even the next time he poisoned me so that Quy Bao Chau could marry Tieu Da, I was lucky enough to avoid it." My voice was calm as if I was telling someone else's story. Noble Mother's eyes slowly turned to Lady. The arms holding Quy Bao Chau also unconsciously relaxed. Lady turned her face away, her lips pursed tightly. That guilty look was more convincing than any excuse. "You..." Noble Lady's voice trembled. "Why?" Why do you treat me like that?" "Of course it's because of the dowry and the relationships in your mother's family." I answered for the lady. "He knew that you were the only woman in the family, had an arrogant heart, and wouldn't like a stupid daughter, so he let me live. Who knows, maybe there will be a use for it in the future." "As long as you're still alive, as long as you don't know that Quy Bao Chau is not your biological daughter, everything you have, even everything your mother's family has, will sooner or later belong to him." I looked at Quy Bao Chau cowering in the corner. "Qui Bao Chau has always known this. Your Excellency knew that she would not let this concubine give birth to a son, so he hid that woman outside."
