Chapter 6 — Mon Mi

Now, that birthmark is clearly visible on this child's body. I sent someone to bring the mother, the child, and the midwife from the hospital together from Ta family street. This time, the Tham family's father and brother also came. The Ta family's elders saw the birthmark on the child's shoulder, and this person's face was even more unsightly than the other person's. Ta Nghien Tu stood in the middle of the hall, finally unable to say a word. Tham Van Nhu had just given birth, her body was still weak, so someone helped her in. As soon as she saw the child, she immediately rushed forward. “Give me back my child!” Mrs. Ta's face was extremely ugly. The woman was escorted and knelt down, declaring that everything was ordered by Mrs. Ta. First, carry the child into the Ta palace. Later I will find a reason, saying that he is an orphan of the concubine, being raised in the palace. Wait a few years, when the storm subsides, and let it join the family tree. The elders of the Ta family were so angry that their whole bodies were shaking. “This way again!” They finally understood. The path of the previous life has never been exposed, and in this life there are still people who want to follow it. I stood at the door, not hugging that child. It cried very softly. This has nothing to do with whether it's an error or not. But from beginning to end, its birth was used as a cover to hide bad things. Tham Van Nhu hugged the child tightly and knelt at Ta Nghien Tu's feet. "Brother, look, this is our child. You can't not need him, and you can't not need me." Ta Nghien Tu lowered his head to look at her. There was no joy on his face. Only fatigue and struggle. Tham Van Nhu cried and said: "I gave birth to your child, you must give me a name." The old man said coldly: "Reputation?" Tham Van Nhu trembled. The old man looked towards Ta Nghien Tu. "Because of her, you ruined the reputation of the main wife, deceived the clan, messed up the bloodline, and even wanted to secretly carry the child back to the palace. If the Ta family allows this child to join the main family tree, what face will there be in the future when they meet their ancestors?" Lady Ta hastily said: "But the child is the blood of the Ta family." “There are also pure and impure bloodlines.” As soon as these words ended, Tham Van Nhu's face turned pale. The clan elders decided on the spot not to allow the child to join the main family tree. Ta Nghien Tu was stripped of his housekeeper rights and banned for three months. Lady Ta also had her warehouse key confiscated. Tham Van Nhu hugged the child and completely fell to the ground. She wants to rely on the child to change her life. But this child became the final nail that sealed Ta Nghien Tu's crime. At that moment, I presented my letter of separation. Ta Nghien Tu suddenly raised his head. “Inspection Vi.” I said: "Sign." His eyes turned red. “Does it have to be now?” "Right now." I ordered a dowry book, documents clarifying the rumors and copies of his private letters condemning him. "I bring my dowry, my purity. If the Ta family doesn't sign, I will bring all of this to Kinh Trieu palace." The elders were silent. Ta Nghien Tu looked at me. “We have been husband and wife for many years.” I look at him. "When you spread the news about my affair, did you ever think about the love between husband and wife for many years?" His fingers slowly tightened. “I just want to save Van Nhu's life.” "You saved her life, but you took my life in exchange." His face was gray and white. Tham Van Nhu hugged her child and cried. Lady Ta also cried. In the chaotic street, it became a group
. Only I still stand very firmly. Tham Nghien Chu walked up behind me. “Sister, let's go home.” Hearing this sentence, Ta Nghien Tu's face changed. When he took the pen and signed the separation letter, his wrist shook violently. The ink is slightly blurred. I also signed my name down. Tham Chieu Vi. When those three words were written, the wind blew in from the street. I remember the day I was reborn and pushed this door open with my own hands. At that time, everyone was waiting to interrogate me. Now, we step out of this place. The people behind can no longer interrogate me. 7 The day we left Ta Phu, the weather was very beautiful. My dowry is filled with more than ten carriages. Ta Nghien Tu stood in front of the door. He wanted to step up, but was stopped by Tham Nghien Chu. “Thank you sir, please stop.” Ta Nghien Tu looked at me. “Chieu Vi, I really regret it.” I stopped for a moment. His eyes were bloodshot. "That day, I held her hand and told her to be patient. I thought..." I turned my head to look at him. “What do you think?” His voice was hoarse. “I thought that as long as this was over, I could still make it up to you.” I smiled softly. “How to compensate?” He couldn't answer. I said for him: "Compensate with a courtyard? Several treasure chests? Or a title of official wife that has been tainted by you before returning it?" His face was pale. I said: "Ta Nghien Tu, I don't need it anymore." Tham Van Nhu held the child standing inside the door. Her hair was not combed properly and her face was yellow. Seeing me leave, she suddenly burst into laughter. "Tham Chieu Vi, do you think you've won? Leaving the Ta family will make it difficult for you to remarry in the future." I look at her. “What about you?” She squeezed the child tightly in her arms. I said: "You have children, you have Ta Nghien Tu. So why haven't you been able to enter the Ta family's door yet?" Her face stiffened. Ta Nghien Tu turned his head to look at her, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes. Tham Van Nhu immediately expressed self-pity. “Brother, I just…” Ta Nghien Tu said coldly: “That's enough.” As soon as those two words finished, she was completely stunned. Before, as long as she cried, he would protect her. Now that she's crying, he just feels bored.
