Chapter 1 — Remarry to a Good Husband

When my husband's white moonlight returned, Ta Duc without hesitation left me. I was sent back to Jiangnan. Everyone thought that I had failed miserably. Five years later. The young lady of the Ta family called her mother in the middle of the night, unable to sleep peacefully. Ta Duc sent someone to pick me up and said coldly:

“When Niem Nhi recovers from her illness, you will immediately leave, don't have false thoughts about the position of Mrs. Ta family.”

I breathed a sigh of relief. This time, because I missed you so much, I ran away here on my own. It's just that our vinegar jar man still doesn't know about it...

“Is she the main wife of Lord Ta?”

"What's the matter? Right now, Mrs. Ta is Lord Ta's childhood grandchild."

“She stole someone else's man, and now she deserves to be robbed again!” … As soon as I set foot in Thuong Kinh, I heard such detractors.

No wonder they think so. Because now, the lady named Ta - Tham Trieu Trieu - is the most suitable person for Ta Duc. As for me, I'm just an orphan who accidentally saved Ta Duc's life. That year, the Tham family fell into decline. Tham Trieu Trieu proactively stood up, vowing to go to the pagoda to pray for the Queen Mother's blessing, but the date of his return is uncertain. The Ta family put pressure on Ta Duc to get married. Ta Duc rejected all the young ladies, using the excuse of saving his life, determined to marry me. At that time, I had just turned sixteen and was not very smart. Thinking it was a beautiful fate like in the story, I happily nodded in agreement. It's like being put on a high platform, we become the focus for people to scrutinize, discuss, and wait to see the fun. It's just me, I don't know anything. I don't know, that seemingly good marriage was actually just Ta Duc's way of keeping Tham Trieu Trieu virtuous. Even more unbeknownst to me, the biggest reason why I was chosen to be Mrs. Can be easily pushed aside. Three years of marriage. Ta Duc still treats me like he did in the beginning: cold and distant. Yet I was happy because of his slightly furrowed eyebrows, because of his long eyes and the subtle scent of sandalwood. I just think he has an indifferent nature and doesn't like being close to anyone. First year after marriage. Under the urging of the elders of the Ta family, we closed the room. I gave birth to Niem Nhi. Except for me, everyone knows that Ta Duc has never forgotten Tham Trieu Trieu. I was still blinded, until a few months ago, while skin was close. Ta Duc bit my earlobe and whispered:

“Van Tan, give me another son.”

Wrists wrapped around each other, bodies wrapped around each other, sweat pouring down like rain. Suddenly. I heard your confidant shouting outside the door:

“Sir, Miss Tham has returned!”

Everything immediately stopped. Ta Duc pulled out, quickly put on his clothes, and hastily left. I was stunned, not understanding what was going on, so I quickly put on my coat and chased after him. The eyes of the servants looking at me were filled with pity and mockery. The night rain fell lightly. We see Ta Duc, who has always maintained a neat appearance, now rushing into the rain to run towards a girl. He hugged her tightly, afraid she would get wet. The heavy white rain covered the entire field of vision. Ta Duc hugged Tham Trieu Trieu passed me. I stood there in the rain, not moving for a long time. A Hoan brought an umbrella, and in the end, he couldn't bear to see me being teased anymore, so he softly said:

“Madam, the old man and Miss Tham... are old friends.”

I'm naive, but not stupid. Right now There, I immediately understood everything. The scent of Ta Duc still lingers on my body. At that moment, I felt really dirty. Returning to the room, I showered so much that I felt like I had peeled off a layer of skin. My hair was still wet, I lay down on the bed, then got a fever. In a daze, I had a fever for three days straight. During those three days, Ta Duc was busy with Tham Trieu Trieu and never returned. A Hoan brought my token to find him, but could not bring him back. Three days later. My fever is down. What also retreated with the fever were the unrealistic expectations and joy that had once been for Ta Duc. Ta Duc returned with the scent of peach blossoms on his body. It's not the scent he usually uses. Its origin is obvious, no need to guess. His eyes just stopped on my pale face, about to speak. But I said it one step ahead—

"Ta Duc, let's break up."

Ta Duc frowned. He said: "If you want to separate, you must come from the Ta family and explain the reason to the patriarch." The meaning in that statement is that separation is not something we want. At that moment, Niem Nhi cried and wanted to find her mother. Ta Duc changed into court clothes and left. The matter of separation seemed to have been shelved. But once that thought arises and there is no result, we become even more frustrated. Fortunately. Very soon, someone helped me fulfill my wish In the fake ravine. I saw Tham Trieu Trieu pulling Ta Duc's sleeve and saying: "What is the relationship between you and me now?"

“A while ago, when I first returned to the palace, my parents favored my younger sister, and you were the one who stood up for me.”

“Why are you avoiding me now?”

Ta Duc did not respond. Tham Trieu Trieu's eyes turned red: "Could it be because I'm in love with myself?" The leaves gently shook, the wind blew gently. The two people's eyes met. Finally, Ta Duc spoke up: "Don't you know my feelings for you?"

"Even if we separate, it will still be a waste of time."

“She now has the merit to seek blessings and can completely marry into a good family.”

It turns out, he refused to separate, not because he couldn't stand me, but because he wanted to keep Tham Trieu Trieu intact. Tham Trieu Trieu bit his lip and stubbornly said: "I only want you!"

"Do you know, if you don't marry me this time, I won't have a chance to see you again in the future..."

We return to Ta palace. Ta Duc returned the next morning. His eyes looked at me, with a hint of guilt. It seemed like he didn't know what to say to me.

“Van Tan, the past few years have been hard for you.”

I leisurely looked at him.
