Chapter 13 — My Husband's Sister Said I Was Just A Decoration

Her eyes from beginning to end only focused on the baby in my arms.

“The child's name is Ta Thua An?”

I nodded slightly.

“It was ordered by the old lady herself.”

She smiled softly. The smile is very faint.

“In the dream... there was no such name.”

I hugged Thua An a little tighter. Tong Minh Thuc took a step forward and lowered his voice.

“I dreamed a dream.”

"In that dream, on the wedding night, you couldn't keep your cousin."

“You are also pregnant.”

“But the baby could not be born.”

“You collapsed to the ground, begging him to save you and your mother.”

“And he…”

“Hug me again and leave.”

Cam Khe's face immediately changed.

“Concubine Song, please be careful!”

Tong Minh Thuc seemed not to hear. Her eyes still did not leave Thua An.

“This child…”

“Shouldn't have been born.”

I looked at her quietly for a long time. Suddenly burst out laughing.

“Concubine Song.”

“If these words reach the old lady's ears…”

“She will invite a priest to exorcise evil spirits…”

“Or will we invite the family to judge you?”

Tong Minh Thuc's face immediately changed.

“Are you threatening me?”

"Such words of ghosts, gods and demons..." I hugged Thua An and continued to walk forward. “It's best to stop talking.”

“Currently at the Ta family...”

“You no longer have the capital to cause trouble again.”

She did not continue to stop me. Return to the main institute. I entrust Thua An to the nanny. Then he instructed Cam Khe:

“Closely monitor Nhan Dong hospital.”

“Especially keep an eye on the new faces that have just been replaced next to her.”

Cam Khe lowered her voice and asked:

“Madam... what Concubine Song just said about the dream...”

“What she remembers is incomplete.” I replied calmly. “If she really remembered everything... then she wouldn't be so stupid as to come and scare me.”

If Tong Minh Thuc really knows everything. Then she won't just stare at the baby. Still the same Tong Minh Thuc as before. Compared to her previous life, she knows a few more things that she shouldn't know. The following days. She is unusually docile. Every day she copied the sutras for old lady Ta, then sent her maid to bring them to Tho An hall. Even the small clothes sewn by hand for Thua An. She also took needle and thread to the main courtyard. Even right in front of Ta Tan Uyen, she smiled and praised me:

"Madam really knows how to take care of children. The young master just looked at him and knew he was healthy and strong."

After hearing those words. Ta Tan Uyen's expression indeed softened a bit. One day. After returning from Nhan Dong hospital. He told me:

“Now Minh Thuc really understands things better than before.”

I'm looking at the nurses' pre-pregnancy books. I just said "yes" softly. He was silent for a moment. Then again:

“Before... it was because I pampered her too much.”

I close the book.

“It's good that the general understands that.”

Maybe he didn't expect me to answer like that. So for a long time, I still didn't say another word. Two more days later. Tong Minh Thuc blocked Ta Tan Uyen's path in the garden. I'm at Tho An hall talking to the old lady. Cam Khe quickly came in to report.

"Auntie Song said that after giving birth, the lady's body was still weak, and the young master often cried at night, causing her to not rest well."

“She said she was willing to take care of the young lady for the lady died in a few days.”

“She also said…”

“Even though I don't have the blessing of having children and raising them…”

“But I will love the little prince like my own son.”

I haven't even opened my mouth yet. Ta Tan Uyen has returned. Obviously. He also knew those words were inappropriate. Just walked in the door. The first thing he did was look towards me. I just ask:

“How did the general answer her?”

Ta Tan Uyen replied:

“I said…”

“How can this concubine take care of my son?”

Until then. Old Lady Ta's face calmed down. I'll pour you some more tea.

“The general is very right.”

After sitting down. Ta Tan Uyen added another sentence:

“Maybe she just wants to make up for her mistakes.”

I don't answer. That night. He stayed in Manh Thi's room. When the news reached Nhan Dong hospital. The sutra book that Tong Minh Thuc was copying was half covered in ink. Cam Khe's people have always been secretly monitoring the Nhan Dong hospital. The next morning, I discovered that a night nurse at the main hospital had received a silver bracelet. Cam Khe placed the silver bracelet in front of me.

"This was secretly given to her by a little maid at Nhan Dong hospital."

"The coachman in charge of the carriage and horses has been given money by that little maid for the past few days... told to take Concubine Tong out through the side door tonight for something to do."

I lowered my head to look at that silver bracelet. In the end... Tong Minh Thuc still couldn't bear it anymore.

“Don't touch her.” I pushed the silver bracelet back to Cam Khe. "Go to Tho An Duong and tell the old lady that Thua An hasn't slept well these past two nights. I want to ask the old lady to keep the boy by her side for a few days to calm him down."

Cam Khe immediately understood.
