Chapter 8 — The Crown Princess Arrested Her Son-in-law herself

The maid passed on the news and said that your young lady is seriously ill. If I don't go, you can only come to the door in person. The backyard of Lan Son Pagoda is quiet, a convenient place to talk. When we met again, her whole body seemed more emaciated than before. Without waiting for me to open my mouth, she stepped forward and took my hand. The force was so strong that it almost dug its nails into my skin. "Mieu Mieu, I'm really at a loss, can you help me?" 18 Turns out, after that day, Hoc Yen Tri took her away. He immediately realized something was wrong. These past few days, every time I met Wen Jing Shu, he hinted at the old things I mentioned in the letter. He and I corresponded for more than two years, and the things we talked about were really too much. There are a few things Wen Jingshu knows. But more things, she did not understand. Several times like this, she was a little unable to bear his questioning. Her eyes were so urgent that her eyes were red, she almost wanted to kneel down and beg me. "Mieu Mieu, I knew I shouldn't accept the marriage with Tu Tu Hoc." "But you know, I have no other choice. Could it be that you have the heart to watch me marry that brute to be your next step wife and be tormented to death?" with him in the letter, is that okay?" I withdrew my hand in disgust. "There were too many letters, I forgot." Wen Jing Shu opened his mouth slightly, his eyes seemed to have resentment. "Miao Miao, are you still blaming me?" "But, but you know in your heart." "The house rules of the Marquis of Vinh Ninh are very strict, even without me, with your current situation in the capital, Huo Maru and his wife, I'm afraid... will not agree to let him marry you. door." "Instead of letting others benefit, let me take care of him for you. You can also rest assured, right?" She was still the same as many times before. Deceive me, saying it's for my good. But I shook my head. "Wen Jingshu, how long are you going to pretend?" "Isn't it all thanks to you that my reputation is now in scandal?" 19 Before I met Wen Jingshu, although I couldn't consider her a famous lady. But when people in the sutras mention us, they will also praise us with a straightforward and honest statement. My father came from a hundred-year-old noble family, was a first-class official, was a royal courtier, and had disciples all over the country. My mother is the district owner, a descendant of the founding father of the country, she has several hundred acres of land, her uncle is a royal merchant, and her family is quite rich. I am an only woman from the Khuong family. Although my talent is not considered outstanding, in the past there were quite a few people who wanted to propose to me. But all of this changed after getting to know Wen Jing Shu. I looked at her coldly: "I have already asked the abbot." "The day I arranged to meet Huo Yen Tri, early in the morning you sent someone to inform me that you were seriously ill and needed a hundred-year-old Ganoderma tree." "I missed you, so before going out, I went to find my uncle first, took the Ganoderma for you and then sent someone to take it to Wen Palace." "By the time I ran to Lan Son Pagoda again, Hoc Yen Tri had already left." "Actually at that time, Is he with you?" On Tinh Thu did not speak, but the weak look on her face gradually disappeared. After a while, she said to me with a calm face: "You all know it." "Yes, I know it all. But I still don't understand, you are famous throughout the capital, why do you have to do that?" Wen Jingshu laughed coldly. She turned her head and stared at me, her eyes like snakes. She said: "Yes, I am famous throughout the capital." "From a young age, my parents had high expectations for me, so I had to diligently read the historical scriptures, practice the piano, calligraphy and painting. I had to learn all the noble things in the classics, not only to know, but also to master." "Just because my father had no background, my path to becoming a mandarin was blocked.

After many years of holding a third-class position, I couldn't get promoted, just because my younger brother was debauched and needed my elder sister's support." "I'm different from you. You come from a high-class background, even though you're wholeheartedly focused on being yourself, there are still a group of people rushing to give you the choice." "And I was born to marry a high-ranking man. If I can't marry a high-ranking man, the only thing waiting for me is death." "So, I'm going all out." She pressed closer to me step by step, with a hint of hatred in her eyes. "Originally, that year at the palace banquet, I almost succeeded..." "But it's you, Khuong Mieu." "It's you who suddenly appeared, ruining my good deeds!" "So I stole your mother's favor, stole the person in your heart, it's considered even, isn't it?" Sure enough. What Hac Lien Chieu said was true. When Wen Jing Shu saw that I understood, he couldn't help but laugh. "Moreover, can you blame me for your current situation?" "If it weren't for your own stupidity, how could I have opportunity to destroy you?" "Khuong Mieu, you are not as talented as others, you can't blame me." After listening, I slowly nodded. Turned around and said to the person behind the fake mountain: "Hoo Yen Tri, you heard it all." 20 I left Lan Son pagoda alone. Before leaving, On Tinh Thu fell down and sat on the ground.
