Chapter 9 — The day his concubine went into labor, I called the Chief to come pick him up

Dismissal of the Minister of Ceremonies Thi Lang. Forever unusable. All the land and shops were in his name... They were all transferred to the name of the Tham family's wife, as compensation. Allow him and the Tham family to separate. Holy decree has just been given. Everything is completely over. Luc family's palace... Chu family's palace... It's finished. The reputation that old General Chu accumulated throughout his life of fighting... Was destroyed in an instant by that unfilial nephew. The Chu family's palace offered their resignation that night. The whole family moved out of the capital and had no face to continue staying. As for Luc Minh Hien... Has become the laughing stock of the entire capital. After waking up, hearing the decree, knowing that he had lost everything... He was too excited, and he was overwhelmed with anger. Distorted mouth and misaligned eyes. Half of the body is paralyzed. I can't even say it clearly anymore. The relatives of the Luc family, who only knew how to flatter the powerful... After just one night, they disappeared completely. The Luc family's palace is vast... Only a few old servants remain. Guarding a bedridden invalid... And a pile of burned ruins. It is truly the heavenly way of reincarnation. The day the letter of reconciliation arrived. I'm in the hospital pruning flower branches. It was Mother Luu who personally brought it. At the same time, he also carried the Queen Mother's reward. Silk brocade is. Jewelry treasures. Covering an entire yard.

"District Lord, the Queen Mother has told you."

"It's over..."

"Just let it go."

"You're still young."

"The days ahead..."

"It's still very long."

I received the letter of separation. Look at the four words "Phu Luc Minh Hien" on it. Calmly smile.

"Please thank your Queen Mother for me."

I carefully folded that thin piece of paper. Then put it in the sandalwood box that was prepared a long time ago. In that box... Stored my entire past. From today. I am no longer Mrs. Luc Tham Tri Y. I'm just... Tham Tri Y. The days that followed... Peaceful and relaxing. Every day we are next to our mother and talk. Or go to the racetrack and compete in horse riding with your brother. The threshold of the Tham family's palace... was almost trampled by the matchmakers in the capital. The king's son. Young general. Talented young men... All kinds of portraits and business cards... Like snowflakes, they are constantly brought into the palace. The mother looked until her eyes were dizzy. Exciting excitement pulls us to choose together. I just smiled. Totally don't care. Spending a lifetime... For love affairs. My heart has long been as calm as water. I'm reading a book in the study room. Xuan Hoa hurriedly walked in.

"Miss, the... Luc family's mansion has sent someone over."

Xuan Hoa's expression is a bit strange.

"Says... Luc Minh Hien's mother, Old Lady Luc, is kneeling outside the palace, begging to see you once."

My hand that was flipping through the book stopped. Mrs. Luc. The grandmother in my previous life treated me kindly, but at important moments, she always sided with her son. What did you come here for?

"Let her in."

I closed the book and spoke calmly. Old Lady Luc was helped into the main hall. Just a few days without seeing her, she seemed to have aged more than ten years. His hair has turned white, his face is full of wrinkles, and he is wearing rough clothes. He no longer has the rich appearance he once had. As soon as she saw me, she immediately knelt down with a thud. Dull old eyes Tears immediately flowed from his eyes.

"Tri Y... no, District Master..."

She bowed her head and cried and begged.

"Please, please save Minh Hien!"

"He can't stand it anymore! The doctor said he has a mental illness and medicine can't cure him!"

"I know, it's all our fault! It's our fault you!"

"But after all, he was once my husband. One day as husband and wife is a hundred days of love!"

"Please come see him once, tell him something, give him some hope!"

"As long as you're willing to go, I'll be willing to be a buffalo and a horse for you!"

She cried until tears filled her eyes and her forehead was bruised until it bled. I quietly looked at her. One day as husband and wife, one hundred days of meaning? When he stood outside the sea of fire, watching me burn alive... Did he ever remember even half of the love? I raised the tea cup and blew gently.

"Lady Luc."

"Have you forgotten?"

"Your son that year..."

"How did you ever want to put me to death?"

"He's about to die now..."

"You just remembered me?"

"In this world..."

"There's no such thing as a bargain."

My words were like a basin of cold water, pouring straight onto Mrs. Luc's head.
