Chapter 4 — My Husband Criticized Me For Being Inferior To Bach Nguyet Quang, I Immediately Retired My Husband And Married Her Owner

Just as I was trying to hold back my laughter, the Prince gently brushed off the drops of wine on his shirt and raised his eyes to look at Co Canh Hong, with a layer of mockery in his eyes as cold as frost and snow.

"Of course she's not worthy. She's just a concubine, with a lowly status like a slave."

"If the little general likes it, why not say a few nice words to flatter this king, maybe this king will consider... giving her to you."

After speaking, the corners of his lips curled even deeper, his tone was like throwing away an old toy. Ly Ham Vu stood next to him, his face no longer calm, tears welling up, he just about burst into tears on the spot. As soon as those words finished, Co Canh Hong became furious, so angry that he almost rushed out to attack the Vuong family. I immediately seized the opportunity and hastily stepped forward to dissuade him. As soon as I put my hand on his arm, before I could even open my mouth, he forcefully pushed my hand away. That kick caused me to stagger and fall straight into the banquet table, knocking over many bowls and chopsticks, and the broken dishes echoed throughout the hall. Everyone around me stared blankly at me falling, their eyes unable to hide their surprise and sadness. Whispers began to spread everywhere:

"I heard that the Co family's wife was not favored, but I didn't expect to be treated so cruelly."

"What else can you call husband and wife? It's no exaggeration to say they're enemies."

"Looking at her appearance... this probably isn't the first time something like this has happened. I'm afraid that living in the Co palace, every day is like walking on sharp thorns."

I gently rubbed my waist, trying to force a smile, my face full of guilt as I walked in front of the Royal Family. This pitiful appearance immediately made the eyes of everyone around the hall filled with sadness. Yes, we want that effect. It's just... it's not enough.

"I'm rude, I hope the Royal Family will be generous in apologizing. My husband and a young lady in the palace are childhood friends, grew up together, and have deep feelings. I'm afraid it was because of impatience that I accidentally offended the Royal Family. Please don't blame me."

This statement, on the surface of an apology, was actually an intentional public announcement in front of all the guests that - Co Canh Hong, because of a concubine in the Royal Palace, offended even the royal family. To the point that my wife, who is not favored like me, has to stand up and "clean up the consequences". Sure enough, the Vuong smiled softly, the corners of his lips curled up as if he didn't care, but his eyes were still as cold as the wind and snow:

"Oh? If you say so... it turns out that this king is heartless and has no eyes and mistakenly accepted the person in General Co's heart as his concubine."

The words seemed to be just a joke to Co Canh Hong, but I knew very well - his eyes were always following me from beginning to end, observing every expression on my face. Just when Co Canh Hong was about to be unable to control himself anymore, I chuckled softly, turned my head to look at the Vuong, my voice was as light as a cool breeze:

"Since I'm a concubine, wouldn't it be possible for the Royal Family to leave that little girl to my husband? It would also be considered as helping them complete their relationship."

"Of course, I won't let my husband lose a beauty empty-handed. Gold, silver, jewels, rare antiques - as long as the Prince opens his mouth, I will wholeheartedly respect him."

The smile on my lips is correct, not sarcastic or arrogant, everyone who looks at it can see - this is a generous and dignified wife, willing to humble herself for her husband to pray for a concubine, knowing how to advance and retreat, is an exemplary model. gentle wife. I have always been a lowly person, only half a level higher than a slave. The story of exchanging - giving - giving away cards is not uncommon in big palaces. As long as you speak wisely, no one will criticize you too much. As expected — the entire hall echoed with endless praise:

"Lady Gu is really understanding, she is truly the mother of the family."

"She still handled such a difficult matter with ease, it is truly a blessing from the late General!"

"Being both polite and respectful - anyone who marries a woman like this is truly blessed for three generations!"

But the more praise there was, the more unsightly Ly Ham Vu's face became. Being a concubine was inherently humiliating, but now she was being traded like a commodity, discussed by everyone as if she had no self-respect. For someone as arrogant and self-important as her, how can she swallow this humiliation? Behind me, Co Canh Hong still didn't say a word. Because he really wanted to have Ly Ham Vu.
