Chapter 11 — The day his concubine went into labor, I called the Chief to come pick him up

Continue reading the unfinished voice book. Nothing ever happened. From then on... No one from the Luc family came to bother me anymore. I heard... Luc Minh Hien was completely paralyzed. Frequent urination. All right on the bed. Living is not the same as dying. The ancestral house of the Luc family... was also sold. To pay off the debts he owed. The Luc Thi Lang once had infinite glory... Finally, her distant relatives threw her into a dilapidated manor house. Let it arise and destroy itself. New stories soon appeared in the capital. New nobility. The bad story of the Luc family... Gradually people forgot. Only we know. That fire. That male and female dog couple. The child had not yet been born. They are all traces... Forever indelible in my heart. I will never shed another tear for them again. Not worth it. Fall turns to winter, and in the blink of an eye, another spring comes. Peach blossoms outside the capital were in full bloom, as brilliant as brocade. I rode a horse, side by side with my brother, leisurely walking on the official road outside the city. The wind gently blew across my face, carrying with it the faint scent of flowers.

"Tri Y, you look much happier than before."

Tham Tri Hanh looked at me, a smile full of joy in his eyes. I reined in my horse and raised my head to look at the deep blue sky.

"That's right."

"Having thrown away a burden, of course I feel relieved."

"What's the burden? It's clearly a fire pit." Tham Tri Hanh snorted. "In the future, if there is anyone with no eyes who dares to bully me, I will be the first to break his neck."

I just smiled and said nothing. This year, my life has been extremely rich. I used the land and shops that the Luc family compensated me to open the largest pavilion in the capital, naming it "Tri Y Phuong". Since I was a child, my embroidery skills have been very good. Coupled with the reputation of the lady of the Tham palace, the Tu Trang's business has been extremely prosperous. We also opened a small girls' school, specializing in accepting girls who had no home to return to or were from poor families, teaching them to read and write, and learn a profession. Not for anything else. I just hope that in the future, they will have enough courage to choose their own lives. No longer like the me of my previous life. She is no longer like Giang Ngung Suong, entrusting her entire destiny to a man. Mother saw that I was busy every day, always worried that I was too tired, and also felt sorry for me being alone.

"Tri Y, you're not young anymore, are you planning on not getting married for the rest of your life?"

"There are so many talented young men in the capital, is there not a single suitable son?"

She brought out those portraits again, wanting me to choose. Every time I smile and push it aside.

"Mother, isn't it great that I live like this now?"

"Freedom, do whatever you want."

"Do you have to find another person to house arrest?"

Mother is for my own good. But after what I went through with Luc Minh Hien... I'm really scared. I'm afraid of giving my sincere feelings again. It's still just betrayal and scheming. I'd rather be alone. Live peacefully for the rest of your life. That day, I was checking the books in my wallet when Xuan Hoa ran in.

"Miss, there is a gentleman outside who specifically wants to meet someone."

"He said, he is your ancestor."

I have some doubts. In the capital, besides relatives, I Is there any other man who can be called an old friend?

"Let him in."

I put down the books and stepped behind the screen. A moment later, a gentle voice rang out outside.

"Miss Shen, long time no see. Are you still healthy?"

I peeked my head out from behind the screen. When I saw clearly the person who had just arrived... I was stunned. A green spruce stem. Handsome appearance. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows carried a smile. It's Lam Thanh Vien. The son of one of my father's great-grandmothers before I got married. When we were kids, we used to play together for a few years. After that, he followed his father and took office elsewhere. Went straight for ten years. To the point where I almost forgot about this person.

"Master Lam?"

I spoke up, my voice carrying a bit of uncertainty.

"Miss Shen still remembers me. Thanh Vien is truly blessed for three generations."

He smiled, clasped his hands in ceremony.

"Why did you come here?"

"The father finished his term and was transferred back to the capital. I heard that Miss Tham opened this beautiful page, so I took the liberty to come here and wanted to choose some good fabrics for the mother-in-law."
