In his hand, he still held half a torn piece of silk, his knuckles were white, but he could not piece together the four words "Phung Thien inherits luck" completely. On the family tree, the name of a branch of his family was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if erased by an invisible hand, not even the ink remained. 13After a deadly silence, Count Tuong Thanh suddenly became angry and fiercely kicked Ha Chieu Ngoc. Ha Chieu Ngoc was kicked several meters away, his back hit the pillar, and he let out a painful groan. Bach Chi Vi cried out in alarm, intending to rush to help him up. The Countess suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Bach Chi Vi's bun, "pop pop pop", and slapped her more than ten times in a row. Bach Chi Vi was both scared and in pain, holding her red, swollen and scratched face, looking angrily at Ha Chieu Ngoc. But this time, Ha Chieu Ngoc did not even bother to give her even a glance. The Countess fiercely spat at her: "You comet! Knowing that it would be like this, I shouldn't have let Chieu Ngoc take you into the palace. Your vile person really harmed our Ha family!" Bach Chi Vi cried as she crawled to Ha Chieu Ngoc's side, wanting to be like before, using a soft and coy voice. "Brother A Ngoc, I just want to be with you. I... I never wanted to separate you and sister Khuong. sister." Ha Chieu Ngoc looked at her bewildered, suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin, gritted his teeth and said: "You still dare to say you don't have one?" "Didn't you cry and beg me to marry you as a concubine? You said you were afraid that your status as a concubine would be trampled and humiliated by An Ninh!" "Didn't you cry and beg me to say goodbye to you? Without the fate, he will be one level lower than her, and he will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life! ""It's good now, An Ninh doesn't need the position of main wife, nor does he need me anymore?" "Go away!" Ha Chieu Ngoc staggered to his feet and fiercely kicked Bach Chi Vi's chest. Bach Chi Vi let out a pitiful cry, clutching her stomach, a pool of bright red blood flowing out between her legs. "Brother Chieu Ngoc, baby! Please, save our child..." Bach Chi Vi begged painfully. Ha Chieu Ngoc laughed heartily: "The Earl's Palace is about to no longer exist, what is the use of giving birth to this child? Let him follow us and be beheaded and exiled?"14 A few days later, Ta Ky An found real evidence of Ha Chieu Ngoc colluding with food merchants, trading in military food, using moldy and rotten food to pretend to be military food, and then delivered it to Dai Ly Tu. Mastermind Ha Chieu Ngoc was beheaded in public. The Count's Palace had its assets confiscated, and the three clans were exiled to Linh Nam. It was said that on the day the property was confiscated, Bach Chi Vi secretly stole all the gold, silver and jewels that Ha Chieu Ngoc had given her, intending to take advantage of the chaos and flee the Ha family. But she was strangled by an angry Ha Chieu Ngoc, using a belt to kill her on the spot. The funny thing is, that dark green belt embroidered with flowers was the one Bach Chi Vi personally sewed for him on the day he got married... After going to prison, Ha Chieu Ngoc went on a hunger strike and made a fuss, demanding to see me. After all, we were once husband and wife, so I went to see him one last time. Seeing me appear, Ha Chieu Ngoc crawled and rolled forward. "An Ninh! An Ninh, I was wrong!" "I should not be bewitched by that bastard Bach Chi Vi. I have already killed her. Come quickly and beg His Highness the Crown Prince to help me!" "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to speak for our Ha family, His Majesty will definitely forgive us." "At that time, our family will reunite. I swear to you." God, I won't have any more concubines in this life, I'm the only one..." "Ha Chieu Ngoc, it's late!" I took it from my sleeve.

took out a scroll of holy decree, opened it and brought it in front of him. "The Crown Prince brother has asked for the holy decree to grant me marriage." "Ha Chieu Ngoc, I am about to marry Giao Dong Vuong to be my royal concubine." Seeing his face immediately turn pale, my heart was extremely happy. Huh! Who told you to say I can't get married! The Crown Prince brother said, as long as he is here, not only can I marry, but the more I marry, the better! 15 A month later, I married Giao Dong Vuong Ta Du. Become Ta Ky An's sub-inquisitor. The second day after the wedding, Ta Du and I went to the palace to give thanks. Ta Ky An and On Nam Chi insisted on giving me tea, even calling me "little judge". I felt extremely embarrassed, Ta Du smiled and said: "There's no need to be polite to him! You saved his life, you're a benefactor of the Eastern palace. In the future, if there's anything good in the palace, if you see it, just go find him and ask for it!" Ta Ky An also smiled and said: "In order to repay this kindness, I gave you the most handsome little uncle of the royal family, what else do you want?"After getting married, Ta Du and I returned to his mansion in Giao Dong district. Ta Du's mother-in-law passed away very early. After getting married, I didn't need to serve my wife. As expected, like Ta Ky An said, I became the most free-spirited princess in the royal family. But even in my wildest dreams, Ta Du, who was always friendly with me, would kidnap me and lead a rebel army to attack the capital... Damn Ta Du!
