Chapter 2 — Real Life

The family dinner ended unhappily. Before leaving, his father placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, coldly scanning the Bui family. "Your Bui family's education today really opened my eyes." The Bui family's uncles were so scared that they bowed their heads in unison. The Bui family is what they are today thanks to my Tham family taking charge of the court. How dare they offend me. Looking at Bui Tu Yen's unsightly appearance, I smiled contemptuously. I took Hang Nhi to see my father out. "Father, let me handle these matters myself." Father's originally stern face rarely softened, even showing a guilty look. "If I had known that he was that kind of person, father would definitely not have married me to him." "The Shen family will always be your support. If you are not happy here, just go home." The brother also nodded along. He was not good at speaking, but in his eyes there was only pity for me. My nose stung and I nodded seriously. My father and brother guarded the border all year round. It was very difficult for me to return to the capital once, and soon I had to return. They stayed and chatted with me for a while, then reluctantly left. Late at night, Bui Tu Yen came to our main courtyard. He changed to a gentle and admonishing look, holding my hand. "Chieu Chieu, I know I was hot-tempered during the day and made you lose face. But I was also helpless." "That assassin was originally aiming at me. Uyen Nhi's body was weak, but she still rushed forward to block the knife without hesitation. That knife blow was too heavy, the doctor said she almost lost her life." Saying this, his eyes turned red, his voice choked up a bit. "I am a Big man, how can you owe such a big favor to Uyen Nhi? If it gets out, people will point fingers behind my back, and even you and Hang Nhi will be implicated." "The matter of getting married is just a temporary plan to silence people." "The position of the head of the Marquis's house will always be yours alone." I flipped through the books in my hand, not even bothering to lift my eyelids. "Who in the capital doesn't know after your cousin?" Widows always stay at the Bui family's mansion. In the middle of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the assassins didn't come to the Marquis to closely guard you to assassinate you, but instead ran to the mansion to assassinate you?" What nonsense are you talking about? I came to the mansion just to visit her, in my heart, I only have her." "Visit all the way to the bed?" I closed the book, raised my head and looked straight at him. "Bui Tu Yen, no need to say these words to comfort me. Do you think I will care about who you sleep with?But if you dare to touch my position and that of my son, you are looking for your own death. Bui Tu Yen was exposed by me, and immediately became angry and embarrassed. "You don't want to drink alcohol if you don't want to drink alcohol as punishment. I am the head of this Marquis's house, who do I want to marry, do I still have to get your consent?" "Don't forget who was bold enough to insist on marrying me. Now you are so stubborn, aren't you afraid that I will write a retirement letter to kick you out of the house?" His shamelessness made me angry. laugh. That year, the remnants of the previous dynasty caused chaos and he fell into the enemy's battlefield. I, one man and one horse, rushed in, killed more than ten rebels, and pulled him out from the sea of blood. He hugged me tightly, grabbed my reins and refused to let go, crying and saying that from now on this life is mine.

At that time, I was young and only saw this young master as pitiful and easy to control. What about the results? I put my sword in its sheath and lived peacefully for a few years. He really thought that I was a block of dough that he could shape however he wanted. I leaned back in my chair, my voice was very low. "You should try writing a retirement letter." "Let's see if you can retire me first, or if I cut off all expenses of Binh Duong Marquis Palace first, and then withdraw all Kinh Doanh's secret guards who are secretly protecting you." "Do you really think your position as Crown Prince is as solid as a rock? If you leave me, what do you count?" Bui Tu Yen's chest heaved violently. He pointed his finger at me, still unable to say a word for a long time. At that moment, the young man outside the door hurriedly ran in. "My lord, this is not good! Miss Biao swallowed gold in the private courtyard and committed suicide!" Bui Tu Yen's face immediately changed, she turned around and ran straight out. After only running two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and glared at me fiercely. "If something happens to Uyen Nhi, I will absolutely not leave her alone." I looked at his back. Then, without any expression, he instructed his confidant next to him: "Go investigate clearly. What exactly happened to the assassination that day?"... Early the next morning, Bui Tu Yen directly carried Lam Uyen Nhi into the Marquis Palace. Not only that, he also ordered the housekeeper to clean Lam Nguyet Pavilion, the courtyard closest to my main courtyard, so that she could stay. Lam Nguyet Cac was originally a place for Hang Nhi to learn literature and practice martial arts. Before I could speak, nine-year-old Hang Nhi had already acted like a master, leading two mamas to block the gate of Lam Nguyet Pavilion. "Hang Nhi, get out of the way." Bui Tu Yen carefully protected Lam Uyen Nhi with her pale face in his arms. "Your aunt's body is weak and needs rest." Hang Nhi crossed her arms in front of her chest, holding her chin high. "If you rest, go to the medical shop, run to my house to rest." "This house is for the owner to live in, not to raise his children. Yesterday he swallowed gold, but today he can walk freely. Is the gold made of mud or is the aunt's stomach forged of iron?"
