Chapter 5 — Tham Chieu

"Half a year ago, there was still more than a thousand taels of gold left in the warehouse, why now..." Lam Dinh Ngoc's face turned a little pale, his hands tightened on his shirt. The key to the Bui family's private treasury is always in her hand. Of course, that money was spent by her. She originally thought that as long as she married into the government and became a government wife, no one would find out about the books. Unexpectedly, Tham Chieu once again ruined her plan. But now, Bui Thanh's heart is already inclined towards Tham Chieu. If he knew that the General's estate had been wiped out by her... Just as Bui Thanh looked over, Lam Dinh Ngoc suddenly threw herself into his arms, sobbing "Brother Thanh, I am willing to marry you, even if only as a concubine!" The questioning words were swallowed back before they could be uttered. Bui Thanh frantically wiped away her tears, heartbroken and said: "It's too disadvantageous for her to be a concubine." "Wait a little longer, wait for Chieu Chieu to give birth..." "I don't want to wait anymore." "Brother Thanh, I want to be with you day and night." Lam Dinh Ngoc cried until she cried, so pitiful, choking up her sincere feelings. "We are childhood sweethearts." "I have waited too long." "I really have waited too long." I can't wait anymore." "Besides, even if it's just a concubine, it's okay. Wait until you separate with her, then make me your main wife." "My father will not object." I held the brocade box in my hand and looked at the two of them quietly. The night I decided to marry him, I took the initiative to find Bui Thanh for the first time. In the study, the candlelight flickered. I carried the homemade breakfast box and walked in, gently saying: "I have something to ask the general." Bui Thanh softly said "yes", signaling me to continue. The exquisite breakfast plates exuded a sweet fragrance. I sat down next to him and slowly said: "If the general wants to accept Miss Lam as his concubine..." "Let's just accept a few more people." Bui Thanh's eyes turned slightly cold. I lowered my eyes and explained: "The general and Miss Lam are compatible at first sight. After she enters the palace, she will definitely be her only favorite." "Currently, the general is very much in use by His Majesty. I don't know how many eyes are watching him inside and out." "If at this time people are accusing you of favoring the concubine and looking down on the main wife, then no matter how much Your Majesty values you, there will inevitably be some doubts in your heart." "It's better to bring in a few more sisters." government." "For the outside world, just say it's because I'm pregnant and can't serve the general." "If you don't like them, just leave them in the back yard." "As for you, you can continue to exclusively favor Miss Lam." Bui Thanh's eyes moved slightly. "Just do as you say..." "I really didn't expect you to think so much about me." "Maybe it's because of the long rain." "My mother always planned everything for my father like that." "I picked up the breakfast box and stood up, looking up at him. "If the general has nothing else to do, I'll leave first." As I turned around, he suddenly grabbed the corner of my shirt and pulled me to stand next to the table. "Wait." "Let me see the baby." "Okay." Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a figure passing by the door. I took Bui Thanh's hand and placed it on the slightly protruding belly. "It's been five months."... Even though she was only a concubine, Bui Thanh gave Lam Dinh Ngoc the formalities of being a wife. Ten miles of red pageantry, a large palanquin carried by eight people, and a straight path to enter the palace through the main gate. That night, he stayed in Lam Dinh Ngoc's room. Early the next morning, while I was taking the herbal medicine, Lam Dinh Ngoc walked in with a rosy face, his whole body exuding love and care.

What if you get the position of official wife? Bui Thanh still won't even look at you one more time!" "Once you give birth to that bastard and leave, he will immediately raise me to be his wife." Lam Dinh Ngoc smiled maliciously. "If you can give birth to it smoothly." I finished the bowl of pregnancy support medicine, used a silk handkerchief to gently wipe the corner of my lips, and calmly said: "Younger sister came at the right time." "The other sisters have also arrived. then. By the way, getting to know each other will make it easier to live together in the future." "What do you say? Are you crazy?" Lam Dinh Ngoc looked at me suspiciously. The next second, her eyes widened, looking in disbelief at more than ten graceful women standing in the yard. "Who are these people?" "Why did Bui Thanh allow them to enter the General's palace?" She shouted loudly. I smiled and walked to the side, slowly explaining: "Ah, last night my sister rested early with the general so she didn't have time to say goodbye. Introduce yourself." "They are the same as you, they are all concubines that the general just brought in yesterday." "Do we need to let them all take turns introducing themselves?" Lam Dinh Ngoc glared at me fiercely, turned and ran straight towards the study room. Probably going to gossip again. Tieu Dao stuffed a heating bag in my arms, then roughly explained to the group of soldiers the rules in the General's palace. "You are all welcomed into the palace by the wife." "From now on, who can make the general take care of the general?" The army is happy, the lady will definitely not hesitate to reward." "Today is the first time meeting." "Your meeting gifts have been brought to the room." "If there is nothing else, then disperse." I smiled brightly as I watched their backs depart. Bui Thanh and Lam Dinh Ngoc were childhood sweethearts, that's not wrong. But if there appeared a whole bunch of concubines as beautiful as fairies, trying every day to please him... Would he still be able to maintain his original heart? I was looking forward to Bui Thanh's answer. As expected, he did not disappoint me... Lam Dinh Ngoc cried, cried twice, and demanded to be hanged, forcing him to chase all those concubines away.
