19 I deliberately prolonged the last word to tease him. His ears immediately turned red. Just as I was about to take a step forward, a familiar voice rang out. “Lan Bao!” I turned around and saw Giang Thanh Thien coming, next to her was a man with a playful appearance and an extremely unwilling face. “Big sister!” “I heard someone is bullying you?” Giang Thanh Thien asked worriedly. I shook my head: "You cursed everything!" “Still a great sister.” “Meeting the Third Prince.” Co Yen Chu and I performed the ceremony together. The third prince nodded slightly, then looked at his eldest sister. "If you tell me to come, I will come. When will my general's fighting cock be returned to me?" The corners of the big sister's lips curled up meaningfully: "If your general's fighting cock can win against my general Thuong Thang, then I will pay you all the fighting cocks. But if you lose, then all your fighting cocks will belong to me." "Okay! Whoever breaks his word is a puppy!" 20 Big sister leaned close to my ear and whispered: "Don't leave yet, stay and watch a good show!" “What medicine is hidden in your gourd?” "I told you, his fighting chickens are all rare breeds, with extremely strong fighting power. They can be used as secret weapons when brought to the battlefield! More importantly, their meat is extremely delicious. If they are raised well, they will make a lot of money. I must win!" I glanced at her with appreciative eyes. "What about you? How is the little general's incompetence cured?" I sighed: "Don't mention it, it's stuck, the cause hasn't been found yet." Big sister comforted: "Slowly it will come." They are all women who travel through time, each with their own destiny. My eldest sister and I belong to the same school of chicken raising, but she has already finished drawing up the future design, while I am still standing still. Knowing that, we also raise that breed of chicken, not this breed. 21 The hunting contest ends, the cockfighting contest begins. This is a contest organized by the eldest sister, using the name of the Third Prince. Today, many young men from the capital came to enjoy themselves. They don't like hunting, but they really like cockfighting. I looked at Co Yen Chu next to me and suddenly came up with a plan. I gently touched his shoulder: "Husband, let's make a bet?" Co Yen Chu was a little skeptical, but her voice was still gentle: "What bet?" "Bet to see which chicken wins today. If I win, you must obediently cooperate with me in treatment. If you win, I won't force you anymore. I will also convince mother not to force you to take supplements." Co Yen Chu's face beamed: "Let's meet!" "For the sake of fairness, I let you know that the Third Prince's general has never lost, so I will let you choose first." Co Yen Chu showed the "I'm very generous" look. I nodded: "Then I choose my sister's general Thuong Thang!" “Are you sure?” I nodded like pounding garlic. 22 Raising chickens, my sister is an expert! Her graduation project is a chicken that can bypass other people's power grids! In the end, he chose the fighting cock general of the Third Prince. The match began, the Third Prince's General's fighting cocks beat each other and killed a few birds in the middle. Co Yen Chu's face was full of victory, exactly like the smile on the Third Prince's face. After that, the eldest sister hugged General Thuong Thang out on the field. "Your fighting cock general fought eleven times, so my general Thuong Thang must also fight eleven times to be fair." The third prince snorted: "How can that weak chicken of yours compare to mine?" General Thuong Thang also a heavy fighting force, winning eleven consecutive matches, entering the final match. The two chickens faced each other in the middle of the sand, their red combs standing straight. General Thuong Thang rushed forward, claws like iron hooks scratching the general's chest. Before we could react, the fighting cock general was injured. Everyone held their breath, General Thuong Thang did not disappoint us, five minutes later the match ended. The general's fighting cock lay sprawled on the ground, barely alive. The third prince froze on the spot, unable to believe his eyes. Co Yen Chu is not much better. The eldest sister patted the Third Prince's shoulder, her face full of pride: "Your fighting cocks are all mine~" I also stepped up and patted Co Yen Chu's shoulder: "You have to accept the bet - you have to give up~" 23 When I got home, I had just finished showering, and as soon as I sat on the bed, I saw Co Yen Chu obediently lying on the bed. My gaze slid down, he actually... had already taken off his pants! I quickly withdrew my gaze. “No need to take off your pants today, let's talk a little today.” Co Yen Chu felt a bit embarrassed and quickly put his pants back on. “Say what?” “Talking about when he was thirteen years old.” Co Yen Chu hesitated slightly, clearly not wanting to open his mouth. So I continued to coax: "How about you tell me a story, a story about a thirteen-year-old boy." I smiled and winked at him. He smiled gently again, pursed his lips, and finally spoke. "Once upon a time there was a boy, his parents loved each other, but when he was ten years old, his father returned from war, bringing with him an orphan girl. At that time, the Queen Mother was in power, her status was very high, his father wanted to make her his wife, but his mother did not agree. Mother said that if father insisted on making her his wife, she would divorce, but father did not agree. After that, the girl became pregnant, but due to difficulty in giving birth, her father let her go. that it was because of my mother's harm, from then on I came back to Thanh Lau every day." "When the thirteen-year-old boy was led by his father to Nhuyen Huong Cac, he saw his father die on a woman's bed..." Co Yen Chu's whole body began to tremble, his voice also trembled: "He told the boy that was the happiest moment in a man's life, but he himself died right on that woman's body, died very miserably, even when he died..." "It's disgusting, really disgusting..." His hands kept kneading and tugging: "I feel I feel so dirty, really dirty..." "I really hate that..." I slowly placed my hand on his hand, then held it tightly. 24 I hugged him and patted his back to reassure him: "Co Yen Chu, you have suffered for so many years." “I'm so sorry, I made you open up old wounds.” I let go, looked straight into his eyes, and said sincerely: "But you are not like your father, you are a bright and upright man." A ray of light flashed in Co Yen Chu's eyes: "Really? But today during the hunt, people said..." "No matter what they say, if they are so good, why don't they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? What is a hero in bed? A hero on the battlefield is truly a hero!" "Leave the matter on your mother's side to me. I will absolutely not let her force you to take another sip of tonic. You can rest assured that you will leave your body to me. I will definitely cure you and make you happy every day!" I held Co Yen Chu's hand and said. People who have experienced trauma need someone to help soothe them in order to recover. "From now on, wherever you go, you will take me with you. I scold people very well. If anyone dares to say bad things about you, I scold that person!" The corners of Co Yen Chu's lips curled up slightly, her smile a bit seductive. "Okay."
