Chapter 8 — Rebirth Does Not Accept Death

There was a sound of inhaling cold air in the room, everyone was surprised and scared by the viciousness and cruelty of this poison. Suddenly everyone moved a little away from the cake box. Concubine Xuan had already rushed at Giang Hoai Du, beating and screaming and cursing:

“I knew right away that your son of a bitch suddenly offering food every day to warmly welcome you was a bit suspicious. I thought you were grown up and knew how to be respectful, but who would have thought that this heartless animal would want to poison his own mother to death!”

"You just want this old lady to die, so that you can easily beg the old lady to put your name under her mother's pillow, so that you can be righteous and be your own son, right?"

“You are not human, you ungrateful animal, you miserable mongrel…”

All of Giang Hoai Du's unjust excuses, in the face of Concubine Xuan's beatings and cries and curses like rain and storms, suddenly became completely useless. The old lady who had always loved him was now coldly sitting to the side, her eyes still showing half the gentleness and kindness as usual. Today, even if Concubine Xuan beat him to death, I'm afraid Old Lady wouldn't bother to say another sentence.

A seven-year-old child poisoned his little lady. When these words are said, roughly nine out of ten people don't believe it. But when put on the body of a child who has never been close to his mother on a normal day, but who suddenly lost his filial piety and brought cakes and fruits every day, it is a bit believable. In the end, there was no real evidence to prove that the poison was definitely caused by Giang Hoai Du. But once the doubts and rumors about the murder of his mother took root, Giang Hoai Du completely had no way to further his career. At first, he tried to be stubborn in school, intending to use his so-called "Poinsettia qualities" to save the situation. But the old man who used to always look at him with loving eyes, now only sees him as invisible, and doesn't even bother to look at him when he asks questions. The brothers who were once looked down upon by him, are now even more lazy to look at him. He struggled for two days, then finally completely gave up and retreated to his small house. Of course, it was no longer the room next to the old lady's place. He moved back to Concubine Xuan's hospital. Concubine Xuan didn't like him at all, so she only gave him a subservient room. This was originally against the rules, but now no one wants to stand up for him anymore. Gradually, he stopped going out the door, just like a dark and smelly dog, just curled up and lived out his life in a corner of the Marquis Palace. The waveless days passed like that for ten years. In the eighth year of Chieu Nguyen, in the Marquis Palace, there were seven children participating in the examination. Lao Dai and Lao Tam signed up with golden plaques. Can Nhi was lucky enough to be named Tham Hoa by the Saint. The Marquis Palace has never had such a happy event in many years. Suddenly, the middle hall was opened and a banquet was held for guests, making it extremely bustling. Mr. Luc at the party was so happy that he had too much to drink. When he opened his mouth, he was full of praise for Can Nhi. He praised him so much that he shed tears.

“If I can teach a student like that in my whole life, it will not be a waste of this life.”

Everyone tried to console and chirp congratulations. I stood on the sidelines watching, remembering my previous life, after Giang Hoai Du passed the doctorate, Mr. Luc didn't even drink a cup of wine, packed his bags and immediately went home. Before that, he had offered his farewells to the Marquis many times. Giang Hoai Du has a lazy nature and likes to appear to be clever and cunning. Mr. Luc has repeatedly told me that if Giang Hoai Du really gets involved in officialdom, it will not be a good thing for the Marquis and for the common people. At that time, I always thought that Giang Hoai Du was still young, and when he grew up, his personality would probably change. Now it seems that a man who has met so many students like Luc Khiem as a teacher, sees people much more accurately than I do. While deep in thought, Dinh Lan suddenly tensed up and whispered in my ear:

“Why did Eighth Young Master go out today?”

I raised my eyes and looked up. Giang Hoai Du was carrying a jar of wine in his hand, standing drunk in the middle of the royal garden, his bloodshot eyes glaring at me. He was seventeen years old. This year in his previous life, he passed his Bachelor's degree when he was a teenager, which was when he bloomed most gloriously. But now, thanks to the fun of the palace, he was able to wear a splendid new outfit. But because his body was too thin and weak, he did not exude any of the rich demeanor of the Marquis's son. Her skin, which had not seen the sun all year round, was pale and sickly, exuding a certain softness that was not there in her previous life. Seeing me looking at him, his pale, dry lips suddenly curled up. Then open your mouth and say two words.

“Mother.”

I sent someone to take him back to Concubine Xuan's house. In the middle of the night, Lang Suong suddenly rushed to knock on my door.

“Madam, the Eighth Young Master has gone crazy, carrying a knife to chop wood and injuring Concubine Xuan and Young Master Tieu, constantly shouting that he is the one who deserves to be nominated by the golden board, and must later become Marquis of Tinh An!”

I frowned and stood up, quickly leading a few young men from the palace and running to Concubine Xuan's hospital. He was truly crazy, but fortunately the men were quick and did not let him hurt anyone else. He was tied up and thrown at my feet, his eyes still staring at me.

“Mother, you remember, right?”

“Or rather, you are like me, from the beginning you remember everything?”

I lazily leaned back in the chair, looking at his half-dead appearance, suddenly burst into laughter. How stupid do you have to be to wait until now to discover this? I leaned forward slightly, leaned close to his ear and whispered:

“Compared to what you did to me before, I have been extremely merciful.”

"That's right, lately have you felt like your arms and legs are stiff, and when you eat something, you feel dizzy and nauseous?"

Jiang Huai Du's pupils contracted violently. As if suddenly realizing something, he suddenly crouched down and vomited violently. I sat up straight, used my handkerchief to cover my nose and mouth, and instructed:

"The eighth young master has a heart attack, yet he injured Young Master and Concubine Xuan. Early tomorrow morning when the city gate opens, immediately take him to the manor outside the city, so he can rest in peace."

“The Marquis is having a lot of fun these days, don't let this kind of misfortune ruin the pleasure of the Marquis and the Old Lady.”

I stood up and left, Giang Hoai Du in the back screamed, tearing his heart out:

"You bastard, it's you, it's always been you! It's you who wants to harm me, it's you who harm me!"

…

"Mother! Aren't you just angry because I chose the young lady instead of choosing someone else? Now that I have killed them all, I am still your Du Nhi, the Du Nhi that you pity the most!"

…

"Don't touch me! I'm Tinh An Marquis! I'm Tinh An Marquis's own son, personally raised by the seventh lady! What kind of bastard is that Concubine Xuan, what kind of bastard is that little mongrel she gave birth to, not to mention slashing twice, even if I kill them all, so what?"

…

"Mother, mother, I beg you, don't abandon me, I am Du Nhi, the child you held in your arms since childhood, the child you love the most..."

Giang Hoai Du lived in Zhuangzi outside the city for another three years. I specifically instructed the old man-in-law on the page to feed him three meals a day, to prevent him from being negligent and starving him to death. During those three years of being paralyzed in that hospital bed, he probably experienced extremely "pleasurable" days. Can Nhi completed her name list and entered the Hanlin Institute. There are countless prestigious families in the capital who want to make him their son-in-law, but every time I mention it, he only knows how to act like a scoundrel:

“I'm still young, I still want to serve my mother for a few more years.”

“You have to start a career before you can become a family, I'm still not stable at the Academy.”

“This year, the zodiac animal is in conflict with the child god, so it is not suitable to discuss important marriage matters.”

"Next year? Next year's zodiac animal doesn't look good to me."

I'm really upset. It's not like he's in a hurry to chase him out of the city to settle down, it's just that he doesn't have a wife, his eyes are only glued to her every day.

“Mother, didn't Doctor Truong tell you not to eat cold food?”

“Who brought this plate of apple blossom cake? Don't you know that mother is not allowed to eat sweets?”

“The weather is still cold in spring, so why are people lying in the sun in the middle of the yard sleeping?”

“Why are you moving this cinnamon tree into the yard? You can't touch the pollen.”

… Annoying. Really annoying. If there is a next life, I will definitely not choose him again... Forget it, or choose him again. 【COMPLETE】
