Chapter 14
Chapter 14 — My Husband's Sister Said I Was Just A Decoration
At dusk, Thua An was carried to Tho An hall. The nanny on duty that night had not yet arrived... I still let the nanny stay in the main courtyard on duty at night as usual. At the same time, I told Mom to prepare a small soft pillow, stuff it with cotton so that the weight was approximately the same as Thua An, then put the baby's body-hugging undershirt over it, wrap it with a blanket, then put it in the cradle. At night, the main courtyard turned off the lights very early. I sat in the interior, not sleeping at all. Just after the second watch, extremely soft footsteps sounded outside the window. Someone quietly pushed the door open and entered the room. Not long after, the night nanny holding a 'swaddling wrap, thinking it was Thua An', walked out, bowed her head and walked towards the side door. I stood behind the window, quietly watching her go away. Cam Khe tried to chase after her, but I raised my hand to stop her.
“Wait until she gets on the carriage before moving.”
Outside the side door, there was already a horse-drawn carriage parked waiting. As soon as the nanny got into the car, Tong Minh Thuc immediately walked out from the darkness. She put on her coat and rushed forward to hug the diaper bundle into her arms. Before the coachman could swing his whip, both sides of the side doors suddenly lit up with lights. Several maids leading their families quickly surrounded the carriage. Tong Minh Thuc's face turned pale, he hugged the diaper tightly and cowered into the car.
"Who sent you here? Get out of here!"
The driver saw that the situation was not good and panicked, pulling the reins tight. At that moment, Ta Tan Uyen also ran over. As planned, he had to stay in Manh Thi's room tonight. But on the way, when he heard that something happened at the side door, he thought that Thua An had really been carried away, so he immediately rushed forward in just a few steps.
“Give me the baby!”
Tong Minh Thuc hugged the diaper tightly, refusing to let go.
"Brother, listen to what I have to say! It's Tan Van who doesn't know how to take care of the baby, I just want to help you take it away!"
Ta Tan Uyen immediately reached out and grabbed the diaper bag. The driver, afraid of being caught, suddenly whipped a whip on the horse's back. The startled horse whinnied and rushed forward. In the car compartment, Tong Minh Thuc's cries were also heard. Ta Tan Uyen thought that the diaper bag was really Thua An. He did not dare to let the carriage overturn, so he had to rush to control the horse first. In just a few steps, he caught up, grabbed the reins and pulled him hard backwards. If it was just a frightened horse, with his ability he probably wouldn't be able to control it. But at that moment, the paved road in front of the side door was too narrow. The wheel hit the stone pillar next to the gate, causing the whole carriage to tilt to one side. To keep the car compartment from overturning, Ta Tan Uyen still refused to let go. His right leg was tightly clamped by the fork of the vehicle, smashing hard against the stone pillar. There was immediate chaos outside the side door.
“General!”
The family rushed to hold the horse, but after a while the carriage stopped completely. When Ta Tan Uyen was helped to stand up... His right leg could no longer stand. Tong Minh Thuc sat down in the car compartment, still holding the diaper in his arms, muttering non-stop:
“Bear brother... I will protect you...”
“I will definitely protect you…”
I just slowly walked out. As soon as he saw me, Tong Minh Thuc's eyes immediately burned with hatred.
"Tan Van! It's you!"
I don't bother paying attention to her. Just nodded slightly to signal mom to come forward. Mama gave it His hand grabbed the diaper bag from Tong Minh Thuc's lap. Right in front of everyone... She opened the blanket... Inside... There was only a soft pillow wearing Thua An's bodysuit. Tong Minh Thuc was immediately stunned. Ta Tan Uyen also saw clearly. His face lost all color little by little.
“Where is the baby?”
He asked hoarsely. I calmly replied:
“In Tho An street.”
“Being carried by the old lady.”
Ta Tan Uyen held on to the car and stood still for a long time. Tong Minh Thuc crawled down from the car, knelt on the ground and grabbed his shirt.
"Brother! I do everything for you!"
"If this child continues to be in her hands, sooner or later it will kill you!"
“In the dream it was like that!”
“She shouldn't have won!”
"Her child... shouldn't be allowed to live either!"
People standing around heard every word clearly. When he looked back at Tong Minh Thuc again... His voice was cold to the extreme, he said word by word:
“Bring her from the street.”
“For the rest of my life…”
“You are not allowed to step out of there even half a step.”
