Chapter 10 — The day his concubine went into labor, I called the Chief to come pick him up

Her cries suddenly choked, she could only kneel there, her whole body trembling, unable to utter a single word. Where do you have the dignity to come and beg me? It was your son who personally planned to murder me. I did not take advantage of the time he was in trouble to throw stones into the well, which was the greatest mercy.

"District master..."

She still wanted to say something, her lips trembled, but she couldn't make a sound. I put down the tea cup and stood up.

"Xuan Hoa, see off the guests."

My voice is not loud, but it carries a coldness that does not allow anyone to suspect. Xuan Hoa immediately stepped forward, with another maid on each side, helping old lady Luc stand up.

"No... Tri Y! I can't be that cruel!"

Seeing that I really wanted to chase her away, Old Lady Luc finally exploded. She pulled away from the two maids' hands and rushed forward to hug my legs.

"Even if you don't think about love between husband and wife, what about the child in your belly?"

She shouted hoarsely: "That is also Minh Hien's flesh and blood! I can't let him be born without a father!" The main hall instantly fell into death-like silence. Even the two maids who were about to pull her out were stunned. I lowered my head to look at the almost crazy old woman in front of me, without a trace of warmth in her eyes.

"What did you just say?"

"I said child!" Mrs. Luc thought she had grasped the last straw of salvation, her eyes lit up, staring intently at my lower abdomen. "Don't try to hide it from me! I saw it a long time ago! Lately you've been sleepy and you like sour food, isn't that a sign of morning sickness?"

"I asked someone to calculate. According to the time, it was when you were still in the Luc residence that you were pregnant!"

"That's the flesh and blood of our Luc family! I can't help but accept it!"

I looked at her and suddenly burst into laughter. Laugh until you fall over. To the point where tears were about to flow. Xuan Hoa was so startled that her face turned pale, she quickly stepped forward to help me.

"Miss! Don't listen to her nonsense!"

I gently waved my hand, stopped laughing, then slowly walked in front of Mrs. Luc.

"Lady Luc, are you getting older and your mind is also confused?"

"I like sour food because the new kitchen has a chef who is very good at making sour fish soup."

"As for the child..."

I paused for a moment, then clearly told her every word.

"Ever since 3 years ago, after being murdered by your good son and his good concubine, she had a miscarriage and injured her body..."

"I can no longer have children."

"This matter, the doctor Truong Thai who directly treated me that year can testify."

"So..."

"In my belly..."

"Nothing."

"The bones of your Luc family..."

"I'm afraid it's extinct."

Every word I say is like a heavy hammer, hitting Old Lady Luc's heart hard. Her eyes opened wider and wider. His face also quickly turned pale.

"No way..."

She muttered to herself.

"You lied to me..."

"You're definitely lying to me..."

"I lied to you?"

I laughed coldly.

"What reason do I have to deceive a dying man?"

"Ah yes."

"One more thing..."

"I forgot to tell you."

I leaned close to her ear, used a voice that only the two of us could hear, and spoke softly.

"The lady that year gave me the medicine that caused me to miscarry..."

"I found it."

"She told me everything."

"It's because of Giang Ngung The mist dictates."

"Luc Minh Hien implicitly agreed."

"I gave her..."

"Along with the deposition..."

"All the way to your son's bedside."

"I think..."

"He's been sleeping these past few days..."

"It must have been a very peaceful sleep, right?"

Old Lady Luc's whole body suddenly trembled violently. She raised her head and looked at me in disbelief. That look... Like seeing a devil crawling out of hell. Finally... She understood. Luc Minh Hien got wind... Not because his family's morals declined. It's because the "gift" I brought myself... Scared him half to death!

"You... you are truly an independent woman!"

She pointed her finger at me and used all her strength to let out a pitiful scream. Immediately after that, his eyes rolled back. The whole person fell straight backwards. Dead. Being angered to death by myself... The servants outside the hall immediately let out a cry of surprise. But I... I don't even bother to lift my eyelids.

"Pull it out."

"Don't let dirt cover the Tham family."

I turned around and returned to the study room.
