Chapter 5 — My Husband's Sister Said I Was Just A Decoration

At that moment, Ta Tan Uyen finally opened his mouth:

“Grandmother, let her go home and rest first.”

“Let me go home and rest.” Old lady Ta glanced at Tong Minh Thuc. “But if this child is truly the bloodline of the Ta family, then from now on, we cannot continue to let him make trouble as freely as before.”

Tong Minh Thuc's hand gently placed on his lower abdomen, gently caressed it, and obediently replied:

“Minh Thuc understands.”

I smiled slightly, looking towards Ta Tan Uyen.

“Congratulations, general.”

Ta Tan Uyen also looked at me. He thinks we will feel awkward right now. Or will take the opportunity to ask about that night. I don't do that. I slowly walked in front of Tong Minh Thuc and reached out to support her.

"Miss Bieu is now pregnant, in the future you have to be more careful in everything from eating to living. If there is anything missing from Nhan Dong hospital, just go directly to the main hospital and say so."

Tong Minh Thuc borrowed my hand to stand. The tip of her fingernail penetrated the sleeve, silently pinching my arm. Not too painful. Just enough for us to know... How proud she is right now.

“Sister is truly generous.” She smiled and said. “I'm still afraid that you'll get angry.”

I calmly withdrew my hand.

"The Ta family has more children and grandchildren, which is a happy thing."

Old lady Ta glanced at me. Leave the main road. Tong Minh Thuc did not immediately return to Nhan Dong hospital. She was helped by the maid and slowly walked to my side.

“Tan Van, did you hear that?” Her voice was very soft. “The child in my belly... is my cousin's child.”

We look at the paved road ahead.

“I heard it.”

“What if it's a boy?”

The corners of her lips curved up into a smile.

"Tell me, will the old lady let the child be recorded in your name? At that time, he will call you mother, call me aunt. But he still knows who the real person who gave birth to him is."

I stop walking. When Tong Minh Thuc saw that action, his eyes immediately lit up. She thought... I was finally stabbed by those words. But... What we ask is:

"The doctor just said that your pregnancy is still not stable. Are you still standing for so long, aren't you afraid of getting tired?"

The smile on Tong Minh Thuc's face immediately stiffened. I turned around and instructed the maid standing behind:

"Take the lady back to the hospital. On the way, remember to go slowly, don't let her hit you."

Tong Minh Thuc was helped away by someone. Ta Tan Uyen was still waiting for me in the hallway.

“Are you really not angry?”

“Why should I be angry?”

I calmly asked back. He looked at me.

“The matter of Minh Thuc... I will give you an explanation.”

“If Miss Bieu really has the bloodline of the Ta family, the general should also give her a title.” I spoke slowly. "Anyway, we can't let the baby be talked about by others later on as having an unclear background."

Ta Tan Uyen was stunned for a moment. We continue to say:

"It's just that right now the baby girl's pregnancy is still not good. If we immediately raise her status, it will be difficult to avoid gossip from the outside. It would be better to wait until the pregnancy is a little more stable, then let the old lady make the decision, that would be fair."

He was silent for a long time. When you open your mouth, your voice also calmed down a bit.

“She really thinks about everything for me.”

I bowed my head and smiled softly.

"I am the main wife. Of course I have to replace the general to protect the face of the whole palace."

He didn't continue asking... What was I thinking in my heart? Return to the main institute. I sent Cam Khe to the warehouse to get medicinal herbs.

"Choose mild medicines, absolutely don't take medicines that are too strong. Prescriptions are for medicine. Medicines are brought from the hospital itself. As for the preparation of medicine... just let the people of Nhan Dong hospital prepare it themselves."

Cam Khe looked at me.

“Madam... do you really want to send the medicine over?”

I pushed the notebook in front of her.

"Everything must be clearly recorded. What to send, what time to send it, who receives the medicine... every single thing must be fully recorded."

The dowry mother standing next to her heard this and immediately understood.

“What about cigarette residue?”

We turn to another page of the book.

"The medicine residue that Nhan Dong hospital dumped, think of a way to keep some of it. Don't let her find out, and don't let our people touch the medicine kettle."

Cam Khe nodded.

“I understand, slave.”
