Chapter 16 — My Husband's Sister Said I Was Just A Decoration

That handwriting... It was written by his own hand, how could it be mistaken? After a long while, he asked hoarsely:

“When did you start keeping these things... when?”

“Wedding night.”

His hand trembled slightly.

“Right from that night... you started plotting against me?”

I pushed the medicine bowl in front of him.

“The general is wrong.”

“At that time…”

"What I'm thinking about is never planning on someone."

“I just want to survive.”

Suddenly, Ta Tan Uyen slammed the paper on the table.

“Poison woman!”

Cam Khe's face immediately changed. I gently raised my hand to stop her. Then calmly looked straight at him.

“Until now, the general still only knows how to use those two words to scold me.”

“What else is there to do?”

Ta Tan Uyen put his hands on the table, trying to stand steady.

“Do you think you can control me with just these pieces of paper?”

“I am the head of the Ta family.”

“I am General Tran Bac.”

“Thua An is my biological son.”

“Where do you rely on to hold the entire Ta family in your hands?”

I pushed another notebook towards him.

“Based on the government's testimony.”

“Based on the Tong family's money exchange documents.”

"Based on the fact that Tong Minh Thuc once robbed the young master and took him out of the palace."

“One story at a time…”

“Everyone saw it with their own eyes.”

“General wants to retire?”

“Only if you dare to write a retirement letter.”

“The Qin family will immediately hand over all this evidence to the clan.”

“Then…”

“Report this directly to your military superiors.”

Ta Tan Uyen's face immediately turned pale.

“Do you dare?”

“General, just try it.”

He grabbed the notebook and tried to tear it up. I still sat still, not stopping at all.

“It's just a copy.”

His hand immediately stopped in mid-air. I calmly continued:

“And Thua An…”

"He is the only son of the Ta family."

“The old lady won't let anyone touch it.”

“The clan... does not allow it.”

Only now... did Ta Tan Uyen truly understand. The person who is cornered... Is no longer me. It's him. Before, he always thought that as long as one day he was willing to turn around, I would definitely still stand in the same place waiting for him. Unfortunately... He turned around too late. Even so, he still refused to admit defeat. He immediately sent his errand boy to invite Deputy General Trieu. The errand boy quickly ran away. Soon returned. But I only dared to stand outside the door, bowing my head and not daring to take another step in.

“Where is Deputy General Zhao?” Ta Tan Uyen asked coldly.

The servant looked down and tremblingly replied:

"General, Deputy General Trieu has already gone to Qin Palace. There are a few places in the food warehouse outside the city and the medicinal herb records in the army that need to be compared, so I would like to ask Young Master Qin to take a look first."

The tea cup in Ta Tan Uyen's hand was thrown hard by him to the ground, shattering right in front of the door. The errand boy still knelt in place, not even daring to dodge. He gritted his teeth and immediately shouted:

“Bring here the list of former subordinates in the palace!”

The manager quickly brought a wooden box. But opening it... Inside was completely empty.

"General, last month the old lady ordered that the entire list of former subordinates and the seal in charge of purchasing military supplies be sealed and placed in the clan's hall for safekeeping."

Only at this point... Ta Tan Uyen really raised his head to look at me. His eyes were no longer angry. It's fear. He finally understood. The roads he has can go... It's been blocked for a long time. That afternoon. Several clan uncles came to the palace together. An official letter from a superior in the army was placed right in front of Ta Tan Uyen. Old wounds have recurred, and he is no longer suitable to continue leading the military. All matters in the army are temporarily handled by the deputy generals. As for the back and forth between the general's palace and the military camp, from food, herbs, to purchases... All are temporarily entrusted to me, as the father of the Ta family, to manage on my behalf. Ta Tan Uyen smiled coldly.

“Is this the intention of the Qin family?”

A clan uncle looked straight at him.

“This is the Ta family's decision.”

"If you still think about Thua An's future, then from today don't cause any more trouble."

Old lady Ta still closed her eyes and prayed the rosary. After a while, she slowly spoke:

“Go to the nest to recuperate.”

“In the palace there is Tan Van.”

“There is Thua An.”

“There will be no chaos.”

Ta Tan Uyen stiffened.

“Grandmother…”

“Do you also want to kick me out?”

Mrs. Ta opened her eyes. Only disappointment remained in his eyes.

“Not chasing.”

“It's to save you the last bit of dignity.”

After that statement. Ta Tan Uyen did not say another word.
