Chapter 27 — On the Big Wedding Night, the Husband Hides Pregnant Bach Nguyet Quang in the Dowry Chest
I bowed my head.
"My father only knows that someone borrowed the Marquis Palace to play a game of chess, harming my father, the Marquis Palace, and also harming the unborn child."
I did not mention the Crown Prince. There are words... That cannot come out of my mouth. The Queen looked at me. His eyes were as deep as water. A while later. The person laughed softly.
"Smart."
The person gently raised his hand.
“Transcription of Thuong Toan of the Eastern Palace.”
When Cong Thuong was escorted into the palace, his face turned pale. He still wants to make excuses. The queen just ordered someone to drag the assassin to him. The assassin had his chin dislocated and could not commit suicide by biting poison. Luc Van Chu took out the card belt he had searched on his body. Internal Guard of the Eastern Palace. Cong Cong's legs are often soft. The Queen spoke coldly. Cong Cong Thuong repeatedly banged his head until his forehead was covered in blood.
“Your Highness, spare your life!”
“Slave... just do your job!”
The Queen's eyes suddenly turned cold.
“Whose order is served?”
Cong Cong Thuong's lips trembled. He looked outside the main hall. There is no Crown Prince out there. There are only bow walls that get deeper and deeper. Finally he completely collapsed.
"It's Mama Hua next to the Crown Princess."
"The Crown Princess's fetus... has been broken for a long time."
"She was afraid of losing favor, afraid that the Eastern Palace would not have any heirs, so she sent her servants to find pregnant women with similar months of pregnancy."
“Liu Jing has found the Liu family.”
“The Lieu family comes from a lowly background and is easy to control.”
"I once had an old love with the Marquis of Vinh An, so I could sneak it into the Marquis' Palace to hide from people's eyes."
The Queen coldly asked:
“Does the Crown Prince know about this?”
Cong Cong Thuong prostrated himself on the ground, trembling so much that he no longer looked human.
“Your Highness... Your Highness knows that the Crown Prince's pregnant wife is weak.”
“But about swapping children... I don't dare say whether Your Highness knows or not.”
Don't dare say. It's not that I don't know. Which is impossible to say. The Queen gently closed her eyes. When I opened my eyes again. There was no longer a trace of warmth in his eyes.
"The Eastern palace's inner circle plotted to change the royal family's name, murdered witnesses, and falsified case files."
“Thuong Toan, Luu Kinh and those involved, hand it over to the Xing Department.”
"Crown Princess Hua's family is confined to the Eastern Palace."
“Mama Hua and all the palace staff involved in the case were beaten to death with sticks.”
Those sentences just ended. Everyone in the main hall bowed even lower. I also bowed my head. But little by little the heart returned to its right position. Finally the truth is revealed. But my debt... It hasn't been calculated yet. The Queen looked at Bui Tu.
“Vinh An Marquis.”
Bui Tu's whole body trembled slightly.
“God is present.”
"The wedding night was hidden from the outside, allowed the outside to frame the wife, arbitrarily signed the certificate, causing Kinh Trieu Palace and Phuong Nghi Palace to work hard to investigate the case."
"Even though others take advantage of you, you are stupid and cruel and cannot be tolerated."
Bui Tu bowed his head to the ground.
“God knows the crime.”
The Queen said coldly:
“Fine and pay benefits for three years, closed for self-criticism for half a year.”
"The deficit of the Vinh An Marquis Palace was made up by the Bui family themselves. Not even one penny of the Tham family's dowry was touched."
"The Lieu family is involved in slander and false testimony, but because they confessed the case of the Eastern palace, they are temporarily exempted from prison. After giving birth, they will be banished from the capital. I can't go back for the rest of my life."
When Lieu Phu Am was at the heavenly palace receiving orders. She doesn't cry. Just quietly caressing my belly. Sitting dumbfounded. This baby... Has been kept. But her dream of wealth... Was completely shattered. Bui Tu also looked at her. Between two people. Only one door apart. One person... Don't dare step forward. One person... No longer calls his name. That is their so-called deep love. The last queen looked at me. I bowed my head.
“Father God is present.”
“What do you want?”
Suddenly there was silence in the main hall. Bui Tu suddenly raised his head. I know what he is afraid of. We also know what we want.
“My father asks for peace.”
Four words just ended. Bui Tu's face turned pale.
“Tham Thanh Vu!”
The Queen did not immediately speak. People looked at me for a long time.
“Have you thought it through?”
“Father has thought carefully.”
"This marriage was decreed by this palace, wanting to get a divorce is not an easy thing."
“Father knows.”
I raised my head, my voice still calm.
“But this marriage, right from the wedding night, was personally nailed by the Marquis himself in that dowry chest.”
"My father does not want to live in a rotten marriage for the rest of his life."
"I don't want the daughter of the Viceroy to have to spend her whole life covering up the humiliation for the Marquis."
Bui Tu knelt down and took a step forward.
“Thanh Vu, I know I was wrong.”
His eyes were red.
“I was tricked by Liu Fu Am.”
“I am also a victim.”
I look at him.
"It's not because she tricked you that you harmed me."
“From the very beginning…”
“You never considered me a human being.”
“You want my dowry.”
“Want my name.”
“Want my silence.”
“You just didn't expect…”
“I refuse to give it.”
Bui Tu's lips trembled slightly. Finally... He couldn't say another word. The Queen slowly nodded. Just that one word came out. Bui Tu's whole body seemed to have lost all strength and collapsed to the ground. I bowed my head.
“Father, I thank you, Your Highness.”
Three days later. The letter of reconciliation was brought to Vinh An Marquis Palace. The day I brought my dowry and left the Marquis Palace. Outside the gate was surrounded by people. Dowry chests used to be carried into the palace in the past. Now each one is carried out intact. The red wooden chest is in the front. The nail marks are still there. I sent someone to carry it in front of Bui Tu. He stood inside the palace gate. His face was gray. In just a few short days. His whole body felt like it had been stripped of all its bones. I look at him.
“This chest…”
“I don't need it anymore.”
“Leave it to you.”
“Keep it.”
“For the rest of your life, remember carefully…”
“On your wedding night, what did you put in there?”
Bui Tu's lips moved slightly.
“Thanh Vu…”
I don't listen any more. When the carriage started rolling. Thanh Dai sat next to me. His eyes were bright and clear as if they had just been washed.
“Miss.”
“Where are we going?”
I lifted the car curtain. The Viceroy's carriage was waiting in front. My father stood next to the car. The sides of his hair are streaked with silver. But in the bottom of his eyes there was only heartache. I smiled slightly. The wind blew along the long street. The letters glowed before my eyes. Last time appeared. 【The original plot has completely collapsed.】 【The female lead does not have to live a life of secrecy while her husband is still alive, I didn't have my dowry stolen, nor did I have to raise someone else's children.】 【She won.】 I watched those words slowly disappear. Extremely calm inside. Did you win? Maybe so. But for me. True victory... Doesn't make Bui Tu regret. Nor did it cause Lieu Phu Am to fall. But that night. When I heard the sound of breathing coming from inside the chest. I did not choose to be patient. I had people nail that chest shut. Also nailing the fate they arranged for me. The path of Tham Thanh Vu. Only we have the right to decide.
