Chapter 3 — She Changed Kisses Right on Kim Loan Palace, Her Coldly Regretful Father Goes Crazy

His eyes stopped on the clasped hands of me and Co Truong Khanh, his eyebrows furrowed into a knot: "Haven't you made enough trouble yet?" Co Truong Khanh's thumb gently caressed the back of my hand, the corner of his lips seemed to smile as if he was smiling, glancing at Ta Nguy. I tilted my head.

"Could it be that Master Master can't see clearly? It's obvious that I'm getting married."

"You know me and Iron Thu well..."

I interrupted him and took out a broken jade brooch from the scent bag. It was the birthday gift he gave me last year during the Thuong Nguyen Tet, saying that he personally carved it. Later, we saw an identical tree in Lam Sat Thu's jewelry box.

"You and she are compatible, you and she have already had an engagement, you and she..."

I conveniently threw the jade brooch over. He instinctively reached out to take it, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"What does that have to do with me?"

Ta Nguy's hand clenched the jade brooch so tightly that the blue veins appeared violently: "Before, she was not the type of person to cause such unreasonable trouble."

"That's because I was blind before."

I turned around and walked into the palace.

"It's cured now."

"Stop!"

He chased after me, grabbed my wrist, and squeezed so hard it hurt.

"What you did today at Kim Loan Palace was just to force me to turn back. Tham Tri Uan, you won, I..."

"Let go."

Co Truong Khanh's sword sheath blocked Ta Nguy's wrist. The sword had not yet left its sheath, but the murderous aura emitted still made Ta Nguy immediately retract his hand.

"Thank you, Father."

Co Truong Khanh coughed softly twice, a layer of red appeared on his pale face due to illness, but his hand still firmly shielded himself from others.

"You touched my Crown Prince's fiancee, have you asked my Crown Prince's thoughts?"

Ta Nguy stared at him, his eyes red with blood: "Co Truong Khanh, do you really want to marry her? Do you know her..."

"Do you know that she once blocked an arrow for me?"

Co Truong Khanh suddenly burst out laughing, but the smile never reached his eyes.

"Know that she knelt for three hours in the snow? Or do you know..."

He leaned close to Ta Nguy's ear and lowered his voice to an extremely low level, but I still heard every word clearly.

"The scar on your right shoulder was left from saving a certain white-eyed wolf?"

Ta Nguy's face immediately changed drastically. Co Truong Khanh stood up straight and slowly adjusted his sleeves.

"What this Crown Prince knows is more than what Father Ta can imagine."

Lam Sat Thu suddenly screamed.

"Do you want to stand by and watch brother Ta being punished by His Majesty? Today he publicly announced his divorce, making Long Nhan angry!"

I stopped walking. I turned my head and looked at Lam Sat Thu's calm and pitiful face, suddenly feeling extremely funny. In my previous life, I was deceived by her appearance and personally handed over military power to Ta Nguy, which in exchange resulted in the entire Tran Bac Hau palace having its property confiscated and the entire clan beheaded.

"That's even better."

I lifted my foot and walked over the threshold.

"My father is missing someone to sharpen his sword."

Lam Sat Thu's face twisted for a moment, then quickly changed back to his familiar pitiful look.

"You've changed, before you were the softest person..."

"Soft-hearted?"

I pulled out a stack of loan papers from my sleeve and patted her firmly on her heart.

"This is the whole thing The amount of silver you borrowed from me over the past three years totaled eight thousand taels. Miss Lam, if you still haven't paid in full by tomorrow, I will take these loan papers to Kinh Trieu Doan's residence to sit down."

She held a stack of loan papers, completely stunned. Ta Nguy took a step forward, his voice softened, carrying a familiar coaxing look:

"Tri Uan, don't be like that. Iron Thu has just lost her support, her father has just been sent to prison, there is no one to rely on, how can I..."

"Then let her rely on you."

I took off the jade bracelet on my wrist. It is a family heirloom of the Ta family, said to be given to the future elder.

"Wish you two hundreds of years of happiness and soon give birth to a noble son."

The bracelet fell into his palm, making a dull sound.

"That's right."

I suddenly remembered something, turned around and smiled at him.

"In half a month, the Northern border military food case will come. Father Xie should still be careful, don't bury yourself because of a few people."

Ta Nguy's pupils suddenly twitched: "What do you mean?" I didn't answer, just held Co Truong Khanh's hand and walked with him into the palace. The large painted gate behind him loudly closed, completely separating the silhouettes of the two people outside...

"Miss Shen."
