Bui Thanh was already mentally prepared for me to cry and make a mess, but at this moment he suddenly looked at me and nodded. "Don't worry, I understand what you mean." He held the brocade blanket and spread it on the ground. Before going to sleep, he suddenly sighed. "Dinh Ngoc said that her outfit that day was intentionally dressed like hers, wanting to take the opportunity to attract my attention."... I looked at him through the thin curtain of the bed, laughed and shook my head. "I am from Giang Nam. This time I came to the capital to discuss the marriage with the Ta family." "I have never met Miss Lam or the general, so where did I come from intentionally attracting your attention? Maybe Miss Lam is too concerned about it." That's why you're so worried about getting into trouble." Bui Thanh was stunned. I smiled and continued to say: "But General Bui's reputation and his victory in suppressing the enemy's rebellion have been famous everywhere. I don't know how many women wish to marry him, but I am just lucky to have this opportunity." He frowned slightly, and just as he was about to speak, I interrupted him. "I understand my identity. General... I will not have thoughts that I should not have with you." Bui Thanh was silent for a long time and then softly said: "I know." Okay. Rest." Bui Thanh's parents also came from a martial arts background. Two years ago, both of them died in battle in the battlefield. I don't need to wake up early in the morning to comfort my mother-in-law, nor do I have to worry about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and I don't need to worry about Bui Thanh. For more than half a month, my life was extremely comfortable, my belly was clearly rounder. While I was standing in front of the bronze mirror, wondering if I had eaten too much, the maid ran in to report. "Madam, Miss Lam is here, saying she wants to see the general." "The general, who made a few efforts to quell the rebellion at the border, has entered the palace early this morning. Let Miss Lam wait a while." "That's right, if the general returns, let someone tell me." I gave one more warning, then told Tieu Dao to invite a doctor to come and take care of my body, and at the same time ordered me. The kitchen prepares a bowl of ginger soup. At noon, Bui Thanh hurried back to the palace. It was cold today, and suddenly it rained, making his clothes soaked. He didn't even have time to drink a sip of hot tea, so he immediately went to find Lam Dinh Ngoc. I carried the bowl of ginger soup to the lobby, stood outside the door and listened quietly. Bui Thanh continuously coaxed her. "Okay, okay. Other than that night, we have never met her again, really, I swear." "Today, Your Majesty said that I have been unjust and want to reward me with something. Later I will go ask her. If she agrees, then we can separate today." My body swayed slightly. The ginger soup overflowed from the bowl's rim. The tip of his finger was burned by the hot water, causing a large red burn. The ceramic bowl also fell to the ground with a "bang" and broke into pieces. "Who is there?" Bui Thanh strode out, yanked open the door, and just happened to face my red eyes full of panic. "What are you doing here?" His voice suddenly softened a bit. He turned his head to look at Lam Dinh Ngoc who was angry behind him, then smiled at me. "It's a good time, what we promised before..." "Congratulations general, congratulations general!" The doctor standing next to him suddenly got excited and knelt down to bow. "Your wife has been pregnant for a month now!" "What?!" Lam Dinh Ngoc rushed out in disbelief, staring at me with jealous eyes, gritting her teeth. Bui Thanh was also stunned, even doubting his own ears. "You... are pregnant? Are you my child?" I blushed and softly replied: "I... only have a relationship with my general... The baby is of course yours." Bui Thanh's cheeks immediately turned red. That night was also his first time, not knowing the severity. He still clearly remembered how the person in his arms trembled and begged that day, and the blood stains on his robe also made him cry.

He was startled. "I know that the general and Miss Lam truly love each other. This child and I are just an accident." I turned around, quietly stuffed a gold leaf into the doctor's hand, with a trembling voice instructing: "Please doctor, give me a dose of abortion pills. I hope you don't reveal this matter." The doctor held the gold leaf, with an awkward look on his face, and advised: "Madam, your body is too weak. If you intentionally have an abortion, I'm afraid that in the future, I'm afraid It's very difficult to have another child..." "This baby can't be kept!" Lam Dinh Ngoc immediately ran in front of me, glared fiercely, pointed straight at my nose and shouted: "You vixen! Bui Thanh just said you wanted to separate, you brought a doctor from nowhere, saying you were pregnant, intending to make Bui Thanh soft-hearted and keep you, right?" I turned pale and tried to explain, but Lam Dinh Ngoc The more he scolded, the more fervent he became. "You and Bui Thanh only got pregnant once? Who can guarantee that the baby in your womb is his? Who knows, maybe it's the illegitimate child of some beggar!" With tears in my eyes, I looked at her in disbelief. "Miss Lam, you are also a famous lady, you must understand how important reputation is to women. How can you slander my reputation like that? If this word spreads out, I will still have a face in the future. live?" Lam Dinh Ngoc looked at me as if he wanted to kill someone, and smiled coldly. "What other reputation do you have? The whole capital knows about you and Bui Thanh in that alley..." "Okay, Dinh Ngoc." Bui Thanh frowned slightly, reprimanded in a tearful voice. "Don't say these words anymore. After all, this matter is our fault to her." He turned his head to look at my belly, his eyes softened slightly "You can rest assured to raise your child. If the child is truly mine, even if we separate in the future, I will not ignore our flesh and blood."…
