Chapter 8
Chapter 8 — Married to the Fifth Prince
After that, I heard that On Thuc Diem built an outdoor house in the south of the city. I wasn't surprised at all. Wen Thuc Diem loves Tham Hoan. He had longed for her for two lifetimes, and now he finally got his wish, marrying her and bringing her home, of course he would offer his sincere love and affection. But in his bones, he is still that arrogant and ungrateful man. In his previous life, he was able to miss the Tham Hoan that he couldn't ask for in his heart, and also brought more than ten beautiful concubines into the backyard. In this life, of course, he will not let himself suffer resentment. What's more, Tham Hoan's body is always not good. The doctor had long concluded that she had difficulty having children and was not suitable for pregnancy. The Wen family was single for three generations, and Wen Thuc Diem could not have no descendants. Refilling cards is just a matter of sooner or later. Of course, Tham Hoan did not agree. When On Thuc Diem came to propose, he stood in front of my mother, promising that there would only be one couple in this life. That word spread out, not knowing how many noble ladies in the capital admired him. Right now the oath is still ringing in his ears, he already wants to betray his promise, how can Tham Hoan endure it? I heard they had a big argument because of this. Tham Hoan broke porcelain all over the room and cried so much that he almost fainted. Perhaps On Thuc Diem was also heartbroken. He hugged Tham Hoan and lowered his voice to comfort her. He said that in this life he can agree to only have one wife, Tham Hoan. Other women are insignificant, and they won't even have the title of concubine. In the future, if those women give birth, they will immediately carry the child in her name and call her mother. The child will be kept, and the mother will be taken to the manor, never to be seen again in this life. “Perfect.” He stroked her back, his words were deeply sincere. "She is not in good health and cannot have children. I did this for her own good. The children born to them are all her children. My On Thuc Diem's wife, from beginning to end, is only her." In his eyes, this was a great concession and favor. He gave her the dignity of a wife, gave her support in the future, and even thought about her children for her. In terms of status, they are still a couple in one lifetime. But Tham Hoan has received all favoritism since childhood. What belongs to her must belong completely to her. Others cannot even touch a hair. Of course Wen Thuc Diem had to obey her. On the surface, he no longer mentioned the matter of taking concubines, coaxing Tham Hoan to be happy every day. But in the darkness, the exterior of Le Hoa alley is still silently being nurtured. I just don't know how much longer he can hide it. 16. Days pass like flowing water, in the blink of an eye two more months have passed. In autumn in the capital, the sky is high and the clouds are light, most suitable for going out for sightseeing. Tong Lam Chu flipped the map and excitedly asked me: "Should we go to Giang Nam to see? I heard that the crabs there are getting fat and delicious." Of course we can say it. Before leaving, we followed the rules to go to the palace and say goodbye to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother pulled my hand and told me many things. Halfway through speaking, the palace man outside the palace came in to report, saying that Tham Hoan was seeking an audience outside the palace. The Queen Mother was a bit surprised but still allowed it. Not long after, Tham Hoan was brought in. Today she was wearing a simple outfit, no makeup on her face, and looked a bit haggard. When she saw me and Tong Lam Chu also in the palace, she was clearly surprised, an awkward look flashed across her face. She bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, walked to the middle of the main hall and knelt down straight. “Goddess Tham Hoan begs the Queen Mother to take charge and allow her to separate with Wen Thuc Diem.” The story of Wen Thuc Diem's outdoor farming eventually reached Tham Hoan's ears. After knowing what happened, she panicked and didn't know what to do, so she cried and returned to her mother's house. After hearing this, my mother immediately became angry. She could not see Tham Hoan suffer any resentment, immediately gathered the family in the palace, and rushed towards Le Hoa alley in an aggressive manner. She led someone to rush into the woman's residence, without asking the reason, and forcibly poured a bowl of toxic soup.
.c solid black rose into her mouth. But no one expected that the woman had been pregnant for nearly three months. The eight rose flowers have extremely strong medicinal properties, and the dosage is large, not only causing the woman to have a miscarriage on the spot but also to bleed continuously. She couldn't wait until the doctor arrived and died. One body, two lives. A murder has occurred, this matter of course cannot be solved easily. What's more, that exterior is also the daughter of a deputy general under On Thuc Diem. That deputy general was already dissatisfied because his daughter had to suffer disadvantages for the exterior work. Now that his daughter has died, he is even more hurt and angry, insisting on an explanation, refusing to let it go. To settle this matter and appease the family's anger, father could only take mother to Tinh An temple outside the city. Tham Hoan wants Wen Thuc Diem to come forward and welcome his mother back. But because of this, On Thuc Diem developed a dislike for her.
