Chapter 4 — Thanh Ti Thanh Tuyet

"He missed his mother's birthday, almost forgot his eldest brother's coming-of-age ceremony, several times used the excuse of official duties not to send his second brother off to war, and was often deliberately indifferent because he was a girl, thinking that he should not run around wandering around the world wearing clothes. "But he never missed every important moment of Truong Thi's mother. "Last year when I was on duty, the green apricot brooch my mother left behind before she passed away, father said was missing in the warehouse. But that day it was clear that I was missing. saw that brooch on Miss Truong's head." Nguyen Dung raised her head, her eyes filled with disappointment and heartache for me. "Mother, it's still like that for me and my brothers, has he treated you worse in the past?" When passing by the begonia tree, rain-stained flower petals stuck to the soles of my shoes. My heart also followed each falling raindrop, sinking heavily into the muddy mud. … From that day on, the elder brother's illness became more serious. Don't say you have my back, he doesn't have the strength to even sit up and say a word to me. Every day I was worried and restless, so I often went back and forth between Ha residence and my brother's residence. On the contrary, thanks to that, I no longer have the mind to worry about the gossip between Ha Tam An and Thi Truong. That day, when I returned from my brother's place, it was completely dark. The inside of the palace's high walls were covered with damp mist. Suddenly I heard the sound of people in the bamboo forest, I stopped walking, told Mama Ly to extinguish the lantern and then lightly walked forward. Deep spring night. The stone lamps in the courtyard flicker with golden light. Two silhouettes stood opposite each other, looking strangely similar at first glance. Looking closely, I saw that it was Hieu Dat and Ha Tam An. The father and son grew up very similar, both had long and narrow eyes. The only difference is that the corners of Ha Tam An's eyes are slightly lowered more discreetly, making him look like a very sentimental person. Not knowing what Ha Tam An said, Hieu Dat remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he opened his mouth to ask his father: "Does mother know about this?" Ha Tam An's eyes met with the light, a cold shadow appeared: "She is so busy because of your uncle's illness that she is not seen anywhere, so where does she have time to take care of family matters?" Hieu Dat smiled slightly. "That's why father personally decided to get a marriage between the child and Miss Truong, to help mother separate her sorrows?" the? I hid behind the fake mountain, looking at Ha Tam An in surprise. "Thuc Nhi has no children, her husband has passed away one after another, and there is only her child by her side." Ha Tam An's voice was full of pity. "Only I can help her." Hieu Dat calmly said: "Father is truly a living Bodhisattva, spending his entire life helping an outsider." Ha Tam An frowned. you: "What nonsense are you talking about? Although that child comes from a humble background, Thuc Nhi's morals have been taught very well. "You have only been a mandarin for a few years, are you also learning from that group of worldly people who like to be rich and despise poor?" "I let you marry her because I also want to teach you the morals of being an official and a person who must value virtue more than birth!" The nightingale in the forest was startled, flapped its wings and soared into the sky. "At this time, father wants to teach you morality. what? Unfortunately, it's already late." Hieu Dat's voice was very light, gentle but distant. "From the moment of enlightenment to the time of studying for the exam, every step was calculated by my mother on my behalf." "In the cold winter, someone made a shirt to warm my hands. On a hot summer day, people waved fans to wipe away my sweat." "Everywhere in the world there were famous masters, people were running with all their heart to pray for me." "You never said what I had to repay you in the future, I was always worried that I wasn't doing enough for you." Ha Tam An heard that and seemed lost. "At those times, where was father?" Hieu Dat tilted his face to the side. "Who who who

He also said that the Ha family is blessed, the father has a good fate, and has been protected by the ancestors, so each of the new descendants is excellent, even His Majesty praises the Ha family's doors full of orchids and jade trees." Hieu Dat smiled softly and exclaimed: "They don't know that, without mother, we brothers and sisters are nothing." "Even marriage, people have never pushed, as long as you like it..." Saying this, his voice suddenly turned cold: "So But my father knew that Truong Thi was a problem in my mother's heart, and still wanted to take advantage of my uncle's serious illness to force me to marry Miss Truong. "Do you want me to stab you in the heart?" A questioning sentence left Ha Tam An speechless. As a husband, as a father, he is irresponsible. He has nothing more to say. The two fathers and sons stood facing each other and struggled. I quietly signaled Mama Ly to leave. When I was about to reach the main courtyard, I finally couldn't help but stumble and had to quickly hold on to the rock by the lake to steady myself. "Madam!" Mother Ly quickly stepped forward to support me. I lowered my eyes to look at the cold black water in the lake. Look for a long, long time. Until the sting of his nose was unbearable, his eyes were filled with steam. "Canh Hue, you know... I thought, even if he didn't care about me, at least he would have some sincerity for his children..." "But you heard it just now. He lost the Ha family's reputation, the children's future, for that woman... he doesn't need it anymore. They've all changed it all..." "Madam..." Ly Ma Ma choked and pulled my hand. "You are already weak after being exposed to the rain before, and you also have to worry about the general's illness. You should take care of yourself first, everything should be done slowly, okay?" "No." I slowly squeezed her hand. "Can't continue slowly anymore." The commander had just become seriously ill, Ha Tam An had already begun planning on Hieu Dat. With that female model there, who knows how much trouble he will cause in the future.
