Chapter 5 — The Bridegroom Stays In Law

He only left a cruel sentence and quickly left. "Ve Lang Suong, you owe me an explanation." Luc Tram watched him go away and quickly checked his surroundings. He even performed light kung fu, walking around the lotus pond. Finally returned to my side: "I checked, there's no one nearby." He blinked: "Can you give me an answer now, Miss?" The night wind swept across the lake, the scent of lotus drifted faintly. All around was silent, it seemed like you could clearly hear the heartbeat of the person in front of you. I tilted my head and softly asked: "The bride-price of five thousand taels, what do you think?" He was taken aback, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "Eldest Miss agrees?" "No need to call me Eldest Miss anymore. Call me Lang Suong." Under his wide sleeve, he mustered up the courage to gently hook my pinky finger. Seeing that I did not refuse, he again wrapped my hand in his palm, slowly squeezing it tightly. "Okay, Lang Suong."09 At this moment, Luc Tram's face was filled with joy. Completely different from the man who spoke less, smiled less, and was full of weather in his previous life. Stories as old as the wind, each scene appears in my mind one after another. In my previous life, after marrying into An Vuong's palace, Tieu Canh An and I quickly hated each other. One by one, his concubines were brought into the door, and gave birth to his second eldest son before me. My mother's family was in decline, my husband was not favored, and my position in the royal palace became extremely unstable. I went to the palace to meet my cousin, wanting to adopt a child. Sister Bieu does not agree. She said: "How can an adopted child be as close and filial as a biological child? This child must still be born to you." "But Tieu Canh An and I are like water and fire. He hasn't come to my room for a long time." Furthermore, I don't want to share a room with Tieu Canh An. We look at each other and feel disgusted, even nauseous. My sister has been queen for several years, and her words already carry a bit of majesty. "He doesn't want to have children with you, there are many people out there who want to have children with you." She patted my hand and firmly said: "Don't worry, I will arrange everything well." I hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement. Biography works very quickly. Not long after, during a palace banquet, Tieu Canh An got drunk and decided to stay in the palace. My sister arranged for a maid who looked very similar to me to share the room with him. And in the heavenly palace, just a wall away, a man with hot breath walked onto my bed. In the dark, we couldn't see his face clearly, but we could confirm that person was not Tieu Canh An. His body is strong, his breath is hot. We wrapped ourselves around each other all night without stopping. Until morning, he held me in his arms. A low voice rang in my ear: "Eldest Miss, you have offended me." At that moment, my mind was shocked. After the fall of the National Palace, the only people who still followed the old rules were you and called me big lady. The next day, the sky was bright and everything was as if it had never happened. Tieu Canh An returned to the palace. My sister took advantage of the situation and kept me in the palace for a while longer. For half a month, every night, you and I were constantly in the heavenly palace. We don't reveal our identities, but we both know who the other person is. Half a month later, I left the palace. More than a month later, I was diagnosed with pregnancy. I breathed a sigh of relief. Ten months pregnant, when I gave birth, I almost lost my life. I don't know which concubine's room Tieu Canh An is enjoying himself in. He hasn't even visited once. Sister Bieu was afraid that someone would cause trouble, so she sent the Musketeers to guard outside the delivery room. Through the screen, we hear Luc Tram's voice. His voice choked: "Lang Suong, you have to try." My spirit was shocked, immediately

more than half awake. We have been calculating for a whole year to get today's result. Could it be that he died right before winning, so that Tieu Canh An could have his wish? Cannot! I can't! I gritted my teeth and used my strength, it took three days to give birth to A Le. Having a child is not easy. Luc Tram stood outside the door, so happy that he cried. He asked his mother to bring him a lock of longevity. I looked at the lock, my heart filled with bitterness. After that, I put that lock on A Le's chest. Since childhood, A Le has been different from other children. Three years old knows literature, five years old knows martial arts. The civil servants, martial artists, and generals fought to enlighten it. I chose for a long time. In the end, the person who taught literature chose the reigning royal deputy, and the person who taught martial arts chose Luc Tram. The outside only announced that the residences of the two great men were close to each other, so that A Le would not have to travel hard. Actually, in my heart I think: Anyway, the child should be with his biological father more. Luc Tram treats A Le extremely well, like a father, always accompanying him as he grows up. My son is proficient in literature, sports, and martial arts, and is a true pillar of talent. But because he was nominally Tieu Canh An's son, many civil servants in the royal court were wary and continuously obstructed him.
