Chapter 3 — Tham Chieu

Lam Dinh Ngoc completely hates me. At a party, she casually said: "Who knows whose child that bastard conceived." Those who wanted to flatter her father immediately followed suit, trying their best to spread the story of my pregnancy, saying that I conceived someone else's child and married Bui Thanh, giving General Bui a big green hat. Bui Thanh felt guilty and apologized to me. "She just said that casually, without any malicious intent." "I will handle this matter, don't worry, I will absolutely not let you suffer resentment." His actions were also very fast. In just two or three days, the people spreading the rumors were found and sent directly to the military barracks for handling. After that, he even took me to the palace banquet and personally told everyone that the baby in my womb was indeed his. Lam Dinh Ngoc was so angry that he couldn't swallow anything that night. On the way home, he accidentally fell down in the mud, losing face in front of the ladies. According to her personality, she was supposed to come in front of Bui Thanh and cry, and by the way, continue to cause trouble for me. But just in time, war broke out on the front lines. The enemy continuously broke through several defense lines. Bui Thanh immediately led his troops to attack at night. Fighting on the front lines was extremely tense. Groups of refugees flocked to the capital, gathered outside the city, and cries echoed everywhere. Lam Dinh Ngoc was so scared that he only dared to hide in the palace, not even daring to step out the door. I ordered the maid to open the food warehouse and prepare to go to the suburbs to set up a stall to distribute porridge. The old butler surnamed Bui followed behind me, his face full of complexity. "Madam... do you really want to give out porridge?" I nodded. "Consider it a little merit for the general, wishing him a triumphant return." The old butler followed along and sighed for a few times, and finally had to tell the truth. "It's good that you have a kind heart, but I'm afraid the General's mansion doesn't have enough money to give out porridge." "That's all you don't know. Is General Bui being rewarded? little, but to make Miss Lam happy, he gave her the key to the treasury to spend as she pleased. Now the remaining assets in the palace are only enough to last the day. Even during the holidays, there is no money to give to the servants. Where will I get the money to hand out porridge?" I unconsciously looked at the shabby Bui family's compound, suddenly smiling as if I had just understood. "No wonder a few days ago, when I passed by the Lam family's mansion, I saw that it was full of bright pearls on the wall." These are all gifts from the general." "But don't worry, the porridge money will come from my dowry. I won't touch a single silver coin from the General's palace." The old butler looked up at me in surprise. I smiled and continued: "In the future, if you have any difficulties in the palace, just come find me." The old butler was moved to tears, and immediately ordered everyone in the palace to help distribute porridge. I sent Tieu Dao to invite some famous doctors. Right next to the porridge counter, there was a medical shop built, specializing in treating diseases and giving medicine to injured people. "That's right." I called the old butler over. "Let's hang up the military flag." "Anyway, let everyone know, this is a good deed done by General Bui." I changed into simple clothes and was busy with everyone for a few days. Just as he was out of habit as he handed out the bowl of porridge, Lam Dinh Ngoc's sweet and cruel voice suddenly rang out, "This bowl of porridge is as thin as water, Tham Chieu, who are you giving alms to?" As soon as she gave the order, the family behind her immediately rushed up and overturned the porridge counter. Light the fire again and burn all the medicinal materials nearby. A few refugees who came forward to stop them were also kicked until they vomited blood and then fainted. Lam Dinh Ngoc looked at me provocatively then turned around and slapped me hard in the face. "That's right

The daughter of a merchant, only knows how to do things that don't make it to the table." I swallowed the blood in my throat and calmly looked at her. "Miss Lam, your father is a Grand Scholar of the reign. You should love the people more and stand up to call on noble ladies to contribute to the country." "If you despise handing out porridge, you shouldn't destroy my porridge stall..." "Crap!" A trace of blood leaked from the corner of my lips. Lam Dinh Ngoc, with a face filled with disgust, used a handkerchief to wipe her hands clean, as if afraid of dirtying her Bach Dieu dress worth thousands of gold. "This is the property of the Bui family." "Even if I give it away "Let the dogs eat, or let this group of people starve to death. It's not your turn to teach me." She raised her head high, completely ignoring the suddenly fierce eyes of the refugees. "You better pray that this young lady is always happy." "Otherwise, you set up a counter once, I will destroy it once." "If you feel sorry for yourself and want to tell Bui Thanh, then go ahead." "Lam Dinh Ngoc, I'm not afraid."... This was the first time I met a person who did bad things and even announced his identity. After venting his anger, she boarded a gold-plated carriage and returned. The refugees immediately rushed over, helped me clean up the porridge counter, and then quietly sat back down. "Tieu Dao, light the fire to cook the porridge again." I sighed softly and gently advised. ... Three months later, His Majesty Bui Thanh returned to court Army, awarded him again, then smiled and praised. "As expected of your husband and wife, truly my left and right hand." Bui Thanh was stunned, almost forgetting that he was married. "My wife?" "You are on my behalf to pacify the world, and your wife not only took the initiative to help the refugees, distributing porridge to them, but also spent her own money to invite a doctor to examine the doctor and treat the disease..."
