Chapter 8 — The day his concubine went into labor, I called the Chief to come pick him up

I coldly looked straight back at him. But inside... There were waves rising up to the sky. A game of chess... In my previous life... I lost so miserably. Losing so unfairly. I thought... It was just a backroom fight. Unexpectedly... It was a meticulously calculated assassination plot. Luc Minh Hien... That pitiful and hateful man... Finally couldn't stand the constant attacks. He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. Then he fell face down. Completely unconscious.

"Where are you?"

Tham Tri Hanh spoke coldly.

"Escort Chu Tu Ngang and hand him over to Kinh Trieu government for strict interrogation."

"And Luc Thi Lang..."

He glanced at Luc Minh Hien who was unconscious, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes.

"Send someone to take him back to the Luc family residence. Please come and see."

"Don't let him die."

"Let him die..."

"Too good for him."

The guards immediately stepped forward, pulled Chu Tu Ngang off the cliff, stuffed a rag into his mouth and dragged him away. Then he carried Luc Minh Hien and the other two bodies out of the bloody tunnel. In the cave, only me and Tham Tri Hanh were left. Tham Tri Hanh walked up to me, took off his robe and put it on my shoulder.

"It's all over."

I nodded slightly. But the body is still shaking a bit. Not out of fear. It's because thinking about it still makes me scared. If we are not reborn. If I don't decide to leave the Luc palace. Then tonight... The person lying here will be my body. And that pair of adulterous women will step on my body, step by step annex the Luc family mansion, and even reach out their dark hands to the Tham family mansion. I grabbed his sleeve, my voice still shaking.

"Thank you, brother."

Tham Tri Hanh patted my head like when he was a child.

"Stupid girl, why are you being so polite to your brother?"

His hand was warm and strong. Make my troubled heart gradually calm down. When we stepped out of the tunnel... The horizon had already revealed the sunrise. The fire in the Luc family residence has also been extinguished. There was only a broken wall left, with black smoke still rising in the early morning light. Just like the love that Luc Minh Hien always considered true love. Burn to the end... Only a pile of ashes remains. Returning to the Tham residence, the mother waited impatiently all night. Seeing me and my brother return safely, she breathed a sigh of relief, held my hand and asked me endlessly. I simply recount everything, omitting the goriest and most disgusting details. Mother was still so angry that she was shaking all over.

"That's too much!"

"That's really disrespectful!"

"We, the daughters of the Tham residence, absolutely cannot return to that dirty place again!"

"There must be separation!"

Father also hurriedly walked over from the study room. He was always calm. Yet at this moment his face was as dark as water.

"Zhi Hanh, immediately write the chapter."

"It's just dawn. I'll go into the palace to see your majesty."

"This evil thing..."

"I want it to spread throughout the capital!"

"Not only do we have to let Tri Y separate."

"I also want the Luc family's palace and the Chu family's palace..."

"Price must be paid!"

Father acted very quickly. During the court session, in front of the civil and military officials, he exposed all the bad stories of the Luc and Chu palaces without missing a single detail. Along with that is the deposition of Chu Tu Ngang, interrogated by the Kinh Trieu government all night long. Witnesses and evidence are complete. The whole dynasty was immediately shocked. A concubine from the Ministry of Rites spoiled his wife, conspired with others, and plotted to harm his wife and children. This is no longer a bad thing in the afterlife. It's about corrupted morality and broken morality. The Emperor sat on a long chair, his face pale. Luc Minh Hien is a new noble from a cold background whom he personally promoted, intending to set an example. Unexpectedly... He's just someone who's yellow on the outside and rotten on the inside. This slap... It really hurts. The Emperor immediately issued an order at court. Chu Tu Ngang, colluding with others, unsuccessful assassination attempt, cruel tactics, beheaded after the fall. Although Jiang Ning Shuang was dead, he had defiled his descendants and corrupted his virtue. His body was not allowed to be buried in any ancestral grave. He ordered it to be buried in the wild. Luc Minh Hien, did not govern the family strictly, favored his concubine and destroyed his wife, tolerated the seventh concubine plotting to harm the main wife, his conduct was corrupt, and he was not worthy of being an official.
