Chapter 5 — On the Snowy Night of Bereavement, I Used the Golden Token of Immunity to Overturn the Whole Family

Also became Lieu Nhu Yen's death talisman. Noi Dinh Ve's bodyguards did not wait any longer. They forcibly put a white ribbon around Lieu Nhu Yen's neck, and at the same time, the two of them used force to squeeze her. Her scream was immediately cut off. Her body convulsed violently, her legs kicked wildly, her face was as purple as pig liver, her eyeballs protruded, glaring fiercely at Co Canh Minh. In those eyes, full of resentment and unwillingness. Finally, her body went limp, completely motionless. The bodyguard let go. The body, which still had some warmth, fell limply in front of Co Canh Minh. Co Canh Minh looked at her blankly, then raised his head and looked at me blankly. Then, as if he had gone crazy, he let out a howl like a wild beast. He got up and madly rushed towards me.

"Hua Tri Y! You are an evil woman! I want to kill you! I want to kill you to avenge Nhu Yen!"

I don't move. I didn't even blink. The Noi Dinh Ve commander kicked him hard in the thigh. Co Canh Minh once again struggled to kneel to the ground. Several bodyguards stepped forward and pressed him down, making him unable to move. Dai Ly Tu Khanh stepped forward and clasped his hands with me.

"Madam Hua, the holy will has been conveyed. Next, we will seal all the property of the Co family and make an inventory. The Co family will be banned from the palace for one year."

“Everything in the palace… the lady can handle it herself.”

I understand what he means. The Emperor here is handing over the entire Co family palace to my hands. Let me... little by little, taste the taste of revenge. I bowed slightly to pay my respects.

“Sorry for bothering Mr. Tran.”

Having finished speaking, I turned around, not looking back at the body on the ground, nor looking back at that man who was acting like a mad dog. We walked step by step towards the backyard. My eternal child... is still waiting for me. As soon as I reached the moon gate leading into the backyard, an old but sharp voice called me back.

“Stop!”

I turned my head. The old lady of the Co family, who is also my grandmother, is being supported by two maids, standing in the distance with an angry look on her face. Behind her, there were also the Second Master and Third Master of the Co family, along with a group of female relatives. It seemed that the commotion in the front yard was too great, and finally alarmed those who had always enjoyed the wealth of the Co family. The old lady looked at the chaotic scene in the hall, at Lieu Nhu Yen's body, and at Co Canh Minh who was pinned to the ground, her face instantly turned pale. But when her eyes stopped on me, that white color turned into a fierce anger.

"Hua Tri Y! You are truly a comet! What good things have you done!"

She pulled away from the maid's hand, quickly walked in front of me, raised her hand to slap me. If it was before, maybe I would have stood still and let her fight. But now, I won't anymore. I gently leaned over, avoiding her slap. The old lady missed, almost fell down, but was caught by the maid behind her, making her even more embarrassed and angry.

"It's counter! It's counter! You still dare to dodge!"

She pointed straight at my nose and cursed non-stop.

"Our Co family is truly unlucky to marry a scoundrel like you for eight generations! Killing our own son is not enough, now you want to harm our whole family! I will beat you to death, unfilial daughter-in-law!"

She was about to rush forward again. I looked at her coldly, my voice not loud, but clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

“Old lady, you better think carefully before taking action.”

"The holy edict said that the Co clan has been closed for more than a year. If you still dare to touch me at this time, a lady of fate appointed by the emperor, I'm afraid it won't just be a simple one-year detention."

My words, like a basin of cold water, poured straight onto the old lady's head. Her hand raised in mid-air stiffened. Say goodbye to the lady. That's right, Co Canh Minh has been dismissed, but His Majesty has not revoked my fate. In this Co family palace, even in the entire capital, except for the royal family, my status is still noble. The second master of the Co family, Co Canh Van, stepped forward, clasped his hands with me, smiled wryly and said:

"Eldest sister, what do you mean by that? Mother was just angry for a moment, after all, elder brother..."

“He is guilty.”

I unceremoniously interrupted him. I glanced around at the group of Co family members in front of me. On their faces, there was anger, fear, gloating over the pain of others, but there was not a trace of sadness. In their eyes, Hang Nhi is just an insignificant elder. The boy's death is no more important than the fact that Co Canh Minh lost power and the family was banned. My heart is a little colder again.

"My son, Hang Nhi, was punished by Co Canh Minh to kneel in the snow, frozen to death. Where were you at that time?"

I looked at the old lady, asking word by word.

"I knelt on the ground, bowed my head and prayed. Where were you, my grandmother, at that time?"

The old lady's face changed from blue to white, her lips trembled, she couldn't say a word.

“I remember, at that time you were in your hospital, listening to the new theater troupe perform 'Truong Sinh Dien', right?”

"She listened to the scenes of life and death in the opera, ate melon seeds, drank hot tea. As for her grandson, not far from the hospital, little by little, he was frozen to death into a stiff body."

"You..." the old lady was exposed by me, so embarrassed that she became angry, "you talk nonsense! I... I don't know!"

"Don't know?"

I laughed coldly.

"The whole Co family knows it from top to bottom, but don't you know?"

"She just thought that it was just a grandchild. If he died, he would die. As long as her good son had a smooth future, there would be nothing to worry about."

"You even think that it's because I, the mother, don't know how to educate my son, and it affects your son's reputation, so he deserves to die, isn't that right?"

Every word I say is like a sharp ax, fiercely stabbing straight into the old lady's heart.
