Chapter 11 — Retired on the same day, I turned around and married the Regent

His voice was hoarse, thick with alcohol and impatience.

"Tinh Dan! It's really you! I... finally met you!"

He staggered forward and raised his hand to grab my arm. I immediately retreated quickly and shouted sternly:

"Ninh Vien Hau! Please respect yourself!"

The palace maid leading the way was also frightened and quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Master! You're drunk! This is the Regent Princess..."

“Get out!”

Luc Thanh Nhuong roughly pushed the palace maid aside. The palace maid screamed loudly and fell to the ground. He completely ignored it, his blood-filled eyes just stared at me, as if he was clinging to the last straw to save his life.

"Tinh Dan! Listen to me! I know it's wrong! I really know it's wrong!"

He spoke incoherently, his voice choked up as if he was about to cry.

"That bitch Lieu Nhu Yen! It's her! It's all because she harmed me! She drugged me and told me that she couldn't have children! I was deceived by her! I was deceived by that old husband whose father is the Soldier's Maid! They just wanted to take advantage of me... After taking advantage of me, they wanted to kick me aside! Tinh Dan! Only you were honest with me! Before, I was blind!"

He knelt down to the ground. Not even caring about face, she hugged my skirt tightly, tears and runny nose streaming down her face.

"Tinh Dan! I beg you! Save me! Respect... respect the love we once had as husband and wife! Now only you can save me! The old Thief of the Military Department has filed a petition accusing my father of embezzling military provisions! The Marquis is about to be stripped of his title and searched! Tinh Tan! Now that you are the Princess, help me say a few words in front of the Prince! I beg the Prince to show his kindness! As long as the Prince is willing to raise his hand and lightly hit me, I... I will immediately retire. Lieu Nhu Yen! From now on, I will only be with you! Let's start from the beginning, okay?

He raised his head and looked at me humbly. His face was smeared with tears and nose. Where is half of the cold and arrogant arrogance like the day before when standing in the middle of the main hall of the Marquis Palace reading the pension book? Just like a gambler who lost everything. Desperately clinging to the last straw. The feeling of extreme absurdity and cold disgust like a poisonous snake wrapped tightly around my heart. One-time husband and wife? Honestly? , . When the pension book was thrown right in my face, when he scolded me for not being able to have children, I was angry. Why not mention spousal love? When it was cold in the middle of winter, he chased me out the door. Why don't you remember even a little bit of sincerity? Now the Marquis is about to collapse. The road ends at the end. Then he remembered that the first wife he threw away like a torn shoe was me?

“Ninh Vien Hau.”

My voice is cold as ice. I used all my strength to pull back my skirt.

"The Marquis is already drunk. This palace and the Marquis have long since married each other, and no longer have any relationship. The Marquis's affairs are handled by the court and the law. This palace has no right to interfere, and the Prince cannot be biased because of personal matters. Please let the Marquis go!"

"No! I won't let go!"

Luc Thanh Nhuong hugged my skirt tightly, her strength was amazing. The strong smell of alcohol and desperate breath rushed straight into my nose, making me nauseous.

"Tinh Dan! You can't be that cruel! I know you hate me! You beat me! Scold at me! Whatever! But you can't see death without saving you! The Marquis palace collapses, I life is over! Tinh Dan! One day as a husband and wife, a hundred days of love, she..."

"Or for the saying 'one day of husband and wife is a hundred days of meaning'!"

A cold, bone-chilling voice, as if coming from the Nine Underworld, suddenly rang out at the other end of the hallway. That voice was not loud. But it carries a chill enough to freeze the soul. In an instant, all of Luc Thanh Nhuong's cries and movements stiffened. I immediately turned around. I only saw Ta Vo Cuu standing there, not knowing when. A dark-colored python robe under the dim light of the palace lantern looked like a beast hiding and waiting. There was no expression on his face. But her eyes were cold and sharp like a blade frozen in ice, pinning straight at Luc Thanh Nhuong who was kneeling on the ground, her hands still holding the hem of my dress. The invisible murderous aura spread quietly. Even the air seemed frozen. Luc Thanh Nhuong felt like he was hit by an invisible hammer. His whole body trembled. The hands holding the hem of my dress immediately let go as if I had been electrocuted. He was extremely frightened and looked towards Ta Vo Cuu. The blood on his face instantly drained away. Only despair and fear remained, as gray as ashes. Lips trembling. Can't even say a word. Ta Vo Cuu walked slowly step by step. The soles of the shoes stepped on the shiny tile floor, making a steady, heavy sound. Every step. It was like stepping straight on Luc Thanh Nhuong's heart.
