Chapter 13 — My Ex-Husband Laughed at Me for Remarrying, Only on Wedding Night Did I Panic

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of hope looking at me.

“I know.” I said, even with a faint smile on my face.

Tong Kieu Tri was stunned.

"I know you 'loved' me before." I repeat it once, deliberately emphasizing the word "love".

“But so what?”

I looked at him, word by word, speaking clearly.

“Your love is so cheap.”

“It made me suffer all sorts of humiliations, made me disappointed again and again, and made me spend countless long nights silently shedding tears.”

"It can't win over the so-called 'loyalty' of a female secret guard, it can't win over your drunken 'confusion', and it can't win over your own dignity and arrogance."

“It makes you naturally enjoy my goodness, but you also have the dignity to hurt me.”

"That kind of love, I don't need it, I don't want it anymore."

I stopped, watching the light of hope in his eyes fade little by little, turning into a gray color of despair.

"Tong Kieu Tri, your love makes me suffer all kinds of grievances."

“So in my place, this kind of love… is just that.”

"It's not worthy of my tears, and it's even less worthy of turning my head."

“You go.”

“Don't ever appear before me again.”

One month later, I smoothly gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Lam Huu Sam named his child Lam Hoai An, implying a lifetime of peace and prosperity. The full-month party was held with great excitement, the guests were packed, and almost all the nobles in the capital attended. During the bustling banquet, the butler walked in carrying a brocade box with a strange look on his face.

“Master, young master, madame, this is… a celebration sent from Vinh Ninh Marquis Palace.”

There is no ceremony list inside, only a... phoenix coffin. Crafted entirely from pure gold, inlaid with all kinds of gems, the craftsmanship is absolutely exquisite, under the sparkling light, the beauty is dazzling, the value is endless. A phoenix coffin for women. The surrounding guests simultaneously let out soft screams. Giving a full month gift to the baby, and giving a phoenix coffin to the woman? Tong Kieu Tri, what does it mean? The butler lowered his voice and said: "The servant of the Marquis came to present the gift and said that this is a gift for... ma'am. Saying that... it is what you deserve." What do we deserve? I looked at that heavy, splendid phoenix coffin and suddenly understood. This is probably Tong Kieu Tri's late "compensation", which is both ridiculous and pitiful. Or to be more precise, it is the final explanation that he considers correct for his "cheap love". He thought that he owed me the honor of a "queen", so he gave me a phoenix crown. He thinks that this is what we "deserve to have". I reached out and took the phoenix coffin. Heavy, cold.

“What, when you see gold, you can't move?” Lam Huu Sam's laughter rang in my ears.

I don't know when, he was standing next to me, seeing me looking blankly at the phoenix mandarin, he smiled and gently flicked the tip of my nose. I raised my head to look at him, there was no emotion in his eyes, only gentleness and tolerance. He understands what I think. I also smiled, put the phoenix coffin back in the brocade box, and handed it to the maid.

“Put it away, if you have money, why not take it!” I said, then turned my head, facing the whole The receptionist raised his voice,

"Everyone, today is a full month, thank you everyone for attending. The banquet continues, please eat and drink happily, don't get drunk or go home!"

As for that phoenix coffin, it's probably worth a lot. But compared to what we have now, it's nothing. My treasure has long been in my arms, by my side, in this home full of love. (END OF FULL TEXT)
