Chapter 3 — Thanh Ti Thanh Tuyet

Therefore, things like estates and shops, income and expenditure accounts, banquets, and interactions with family officials, all big and small matters in the palace have always been handled by me alone. He is always noble and unobtrusive, does not ask about vulgar matters, and deliberately attaches great importance to rules. So when I brought up all those rules, he couldn't refute a word. But I underestimated his feelings for Truong Thi. I originally thought that many years have passed like clouds and falling stars, no matter how painful the regrets are, there are only faint ripples left. I never thought the word "love" could be so scary. Even though more than half of his life has passed, Ha Tam An is still very courageous and defies everything to give the person in his heart a place to live. Those resignations and helplessness that were buried deep in the bottom of his heart... when he saw his loved one not living well, finally exploded in a way that he couldn't hold back any longer. "Being a slave, being a concubine? Ha." He smiled, but his eyes gradually cooled down, looking at me: "You really are so majestic." Not looking at her children's faces, Ha Tam An waved her sleeves, turned around and walked away, loudly calling to the servant next to her. "Thu Cam, pack up your things! If they can't get into the palace, then I'm not going in either! Prepare the car, go to the villa in Dong Son!” People in the whole hospital looked at each other, then cautiously looked at my face. It wasn't until Ha Tam An angrily shouted orders again that they regained composure and hastily ran away to go to work. The cold wind rose, blowing the begonia petals in the yard and falling like rain. A family that was originally peaceful and complete, yet appeared to have the appearance of birds and animals falling apart, each person going their own direction, full of uncertainty. The finger hidden in my sleeve squeezed so tightly it hurt. … There is no need to intentionally spread it outside, because the people of the capital always have a particularly sharp sense of smell for the colorful and snowy stories of the nobles. The story of Deputy Ha Thai getting angry and leaving the palace quickly spread throughout the city, becoming a myth that made everyone wide-eyed. Even the elder brother, who had been seriously ill and secluded at home for a long time, sent someone to ask me what had happened. I originally intended to continue to keep it a secret, but unexpectedly, Nguyen Dung choked with anger and told my aunt everything. The next day, the senior forcibly called me to the palace to meet. People often say, don't be afraid of fatherhood, just be afraid of strictness of brother. My parents passed away early, and my brother Liu Tich has been super strict with me since I was young, fearing that I would make one wrong step. It wasn't until I got married and saw that I was managing Ha Phu well that the elder brother felt at ease. Early this year, the elder brother fell off his horse while on an expedition, his new injuries and old injuries all relapsed, leaving him bedridden until now. I didn't want him to worry any more, so every time we met, I pretended to be cheerful, hiding a lot of things. "If Dung Nhi hadn't said it, how long would you have planned to hide from me?" As soon as he saw me walk in, the elder brother tried to prop himself up and sit up on the chair, refusing to lie down as usual, then covered his sleeve and coughed two weak sounds. Everyone in the room was sent out by him. I walked over and gently patted his back, passed the cup of hot tea, frowned worriedly: "Didn't the Ta genius doctor say it would be better after spring? Why do you look even thinner than before?" The brother tried to suppress a cough, pushed my hand away: "I'm asking you! Answer me first, did Ha Tam An want to lift that woman into the door?" "Nothing like that." I tightened my shirt, lowered my eyes. replied: "He is also a person who needs face." "Face?" The brother smiled faintly. "More than twenty years ago, if he went on a hunger strike for that woman, he would no longer have face." Saying this, his face turned cold: "When we got married, he kept telling me that he was

Forget that woman. The Ha family also promised a hundred times that they would not let any woman enter the palace to shake her position. "Who would have thought that in just a few years, seeing that I was sick and could no longer hold a knife, they started to bully me! Cough! Cough cough!" The brother was so angry that he bent down and coughed violently, covering his mouth with a towel. Without waiting for me to look closely in panic, he quickly wiped the corners of his lips and stuffed the towel into his sleeve. He put his hands on the armrest of the chair, bowed his head and pushed me: "Go away, go back. I will make him give you an explanation for this matter." Looking at the elder brother's appearance, my eyes turned red and I shook my head: "Brother, don't worry about this anymore, I have a plan in my heart. You need to recover well first..." The brother interrupted me: "When will you consider it? Obviously you only know how to be patient!" Seeing that I refused to accept it. walking, he immediately grabbed his walking stick and tapped it on the ground, making a dull sound. "What are you crying for? Come back quickly, go back and tell him that the Luu family is not dead yet!"... On the way back, Nguyen Dung quietly followed behind me. After a long while, her sad voice rang out: "Mother, I didn't mean to let uncle know and make uncle angry..." I lowered my eyes and walked away, shaking my head slightly: "It's not my fault." The voice behind still carried the innocence of a sixteen-year-old girl: "Mother, I just want you to know that you don't just have uncle as support. Me and my brothers are all grown up. then. When we were young, you protected us, now we can also protect you. "Before, when we told people to separate, we weren't talking nonsense. Father's heart has never been in this house for decades. "No matter how hard you work to take care of the family and raise us, he takes it for granted. "Even though you say you shouldn't discuss your mistakes, you really make my heart cold. These past few days, my brothers and I intentionally went to investigate and found out that for decades my father has been corresponding with Truong Thi." I stopped and suddenly turned my head.
