Chapter 8
Chapter 8 — Reborn On The Day You Were Swapped, I Exposed The Hypocritical Husband.
Tieu Triet raised his hand to signal, the soldiers who followed silently walked up, orderly carrying each luggage box, each trunk, lining up neatly to wait for departure.
“Let's go, Chi Chi.”
Tieu Triet reached out his hand and firmly supported me. I held the child in my arms and walked across the high threshold of Vinh An Vuong's palace. The horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, four handsome horses gently puffed, on the body of the carriage was engraved the crest of the Tran Quoc Cong palace. The car curtains were lifted, a thick layer of mattress was spread inside, the brazier was still burning, warmth spreading throughout the space. Tieu Triet helped me sit inside first, then gently placed the child back in my arms, then sat on the back of the car himself, lowering the curtain.
“Return to Tran Quoc Duke's palace.”
He said to the coachman. Outside the car curtain, Tieu Triet's voice penetrated through the fabric.
“Does the child have a name yet?”
I shook my head:
“Not yet.”
After a moment of silence, Tieu Triet said:
"When my mother was alive, she brewed a wine called 'Tri Quy'. She once said that the best thing in this world is knowing where you belong."
Tears flowed out of my eyes uncontrollably. I lowered my head to look at the child sleeping obediently in my arms and said softly:
"Then I will call you Tri Quy. Bach Tri Quy."
In her sleep, Bach Tri Quy gently sucked her lips twice, making a very small moaning sound. I hugged you a little tighter, pressing my face against your soft little head. In my previous life, I couldn't protect you. In this life, I will give you all the best things in the world. As for Luc Thieu Ngu and Lieu Dung... I will slowly look and see. Without me, can they really be happy? After separating, Luc Mau went everywhere to ask matchmakers, wanting to find another good match for Luc Thieu Ngu, in order to revive the reputation of Vinh An Vuong's palace. But now in the capital, who doesn't know that Luc Thieu Ngu, for the sake of a righteous daughter, did not hesitate to exchange his newly born son, but falsely framed the main wife, wanting to lock her up in a manor in the countryside, using sinister methods and cold and ungrateful disposition. A man like that would dare to push his daughter, who he cherishes like a treasure, into a fire pit? Luc Thieu Ngu was rejected time and time again, his face was lost, and in the end, out of anger, he directly married Lieu Dung as his crown princess. Lieu Dung was finally satisfied, sitting on the position of Crown Princess that she longed for day and night. It's just a pity that she didn't know that that position was used in exchange for the last bit of dignity of the Luc family. And she didn't know that, from today, the Luc family's path to decline had just begun. Vinh An Vuong Palace. Luc Thieu Ngu sat in the study room, a book in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed so tightly that he could almost pinch a fly to death. Previously, these matters were all managed by Bach Cuu Chi. She was the housekeeper for three years, everything in the house was in order, the income and expenses were clear and transparent, he never had to worry. After Bach Cuu Chi left, the authority to manage affairs in the palace was immediately assigned to Lieu Dung. He once thought that everything would be better than before - Lieu Dung was gentle and caring, understanding people's hearts. With her here, the house would definitely be more comfortable than before. But he was wrong. Lieu Dung is used to it lives a luxurious life, but is completely unaware of how to manage housework. Every day, she sleeps until the sun rises three kilometers high before waking up. After waking up, she puts on makeup and grooms herself, then makes appointments with the ladies of other families to enjoy flowers, drink tea, listen to opera, and go shopping. She was completely indifferent to all matters big and small in the palace, did not look at the books, and did not take care of the servants. The administrators could not find the decision maker, so they had to turn to him. Luc Thieu Ngu tried to remind Lieu Dung twice. For the first time, her eyes turned red:
"Your Highness, do you already hate leaving me? Since I was a child, I have never taken care of these things..."
Luc Thieu Ngu immediately softened his heart, but also comforted her that there was no need to rush, just learn slowly. The second time, she directly burst into tears and said:
“I know I'm not as good as Bach Cuu Chi, but I'm really trying to learn, can you give me a little more time?”
