Chapter 9
Chapter 9 — People risked their lives to save, but wanted to marry my sister to show gratitude
Now Co Can Nhien still wants to take advantage of the house fire and loot his wife to retire. The two sides were busy bargaining back and forth, but this time Truong Van Noan looked even more like a commodity. In the end, my father even took the initiative to suggest that I also marry him to the Earl's mansion as a noble concubine, while Truong Van Noan just needed to keep her status and be locked in the backyard to live out the rest of her life.
"I don't agree! Master, Noan Noan is your biological daughter. If you do this, aren't you afraid that she will resent you?"
"He still has the face to do such a humiliating thing, so what right does he have to demand it? Besides, a man taking in a concubine is a normal thing. As an official wife, how can he be jealous and narrow-minded?"
"And you too. The housekeeper has become like this, even the daughter has been taught not to be close. I see that you don't need to continue to be the housekeeper anymore. From today, close the door and self-criticize. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the hospital."
The mother was completely stunned. Father's concubine room is quite a lot. Although over the years, according to your calculations, other people besides my mother have not been able to have children, but that doesn't mean they don't hate you. If she really lost her position this time and lost her right to be the housekeeper, how could those concubines miss the opportunity to take revenge? At that time, what will her son and daughter know to do? On the contrary, Co Can Nhien's heart was wavering. If we only confine Truong Van Noan in the backyard, still keeping her the title of official wife in name only, then we can not only make outsiders see that he is a generous and kind person, but also that he can honestly accept me as his concubine. Calculating again and again, for him, this is completely a benefit, not a disadvantage at all. He didn't even bother to ask if I was willing or not, but assumed that even if I were just a concubine, I would happily marry him. I stayed in the room, letting Tieu Hoan help me clean the wound and apply medicine. Listening to her recount the news she secretly inquired about, I couldn't help but laugh coldly.
"Very soon, they will no longer feel that I am a fragrant cake. I understand them better than they know themselves."
These two men are the most pragmatic and selfish people. Uc Truong Phong, don't disappoint me. That year, he almost starved to death on the street. It was I who gave him a piece of food to save his life, and also prepared luggage and money for him, thanks to which he was able to smoothly enter the Third Prince's palace. This time, thanks to my help, you took the opportunity to win the trust of the Third Prince, and at the same time were able to repay my kindness, it was truly a double win. The mother was detained, Truong Van Noan was also detained in the backyard, not allowed to show her face. My father is busy dealing with outside rumors, along with the matter between Co Can Nhien and me. Therefore, he also raised his mother to be his concubine, his attitude towards me was much better, and even announced that he would take his mother to a nun's monastery to meditate on her daughter's behalf to atone for her sins. He wanted to use a righteous tactic to destroy himself to prove that the Truong family's family name was righteous. At the same time, use me to keep Co Can Nhien, who is as gentle as a dragon, at bay. Parents think that if they do this, everything will be okay ends here. You were wrong. Everything... has just begun. Very quickly after that, rumors spread outside that during the landslide, I pushed the Third Prince, causing the Third Prince to be seriously injured. Luckily, there was a guest under his command who risked his life to help, otherwise he would have almost lost his life. That news quickly spread to the government. Ta Do Ngu Su Palace became even more chaotic. In addition, officials from Dai Ly Tu came to the door to ask about the matter. In their words, unintentionally or intentionally, it was revealed that the Third Prince intended to pursue the matter to the end, and would soon come to arrest people, and the Truong family was afraid that they would also be implicated. Father's sky... Has collapsed. Don't talk about using me and Co Can Nhien as favors. Intentionally plotting to harm the prince is a serious crime. Even if Co Can Nhien agrees, the old Count of the Count's mansion will absolutely not agree. It was very difficult for my father to climb to where he is today. Now, he has just been punished and has also offended the Third Prince. That's a royal person. He's panicked. You're scared.
