Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — The day I returned, the entire General's Palace was afraid
This time, she was truly speechless. Because she understands, this is not a threat. It was the consequence of the plot she had prepared for others. At this moment, a series of rapid footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
"Stop! Harsh!"
My father, Lam Uy, led Thi Ly and two older brothers whom he always considered to be filial, and rushed in with an aggressive attitude. As soon as they saw Lam Thanh Tuyet falling to the ground, her hair in disarray, her appearance extremely pathetic, and seeing me standing next to her with an indifferent expression, they immediately became angry.
"Kinh Nguyet! What have you done to Thanh Tuyet again?"
Ly Thi screamed and rushed forward to hug Lam Thanh Tuyet.
"Father! Mother! She wants to harm me! She forced me to drink poison!"
As soon as Lam Thanh Tuyet found support, she immediately cried loudly, tears streaming down her face, but a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She did not dare to say clearly what poison it was. Because once she said it, it also meant admitting that she was actually preparing to harm me. Lam Uy's face was as dark as water. He gradually pressed closer to me. The murderous intent in his eyes was even stronger than in the previous hall.
“I was really blind, thinking you would repent!”
He raised his hand and gave me a strong slap in the face. I don't avoid it. Just as that hand was about to touch my face, I suddenly raised my head. My eyes are cold. Like a thousand-year layer of ice at the bottom of Doc Long Dam. Lam Uy's arm stiffened in midair. He looked at me, as if he saw that he was not his daughter. It's a devil who came back from hell to collect a debt.
“What are you basing on to attack me?”
I slowly opened my mouth. The voice is not loud. But every word fell clearly on everyone's ears.
“Just because she cries louder than me?”
“Or is it because she personally poisoned my food?”
I kicked the empty distillation bowl to his feet.
“In there is the ‘Seven Sun Doan Trang Thao’.”
"If you don't believe me, you can invite the royal doctor to check."
"Let's see after seven days, whether she is like what she prepared for me or not."
Lam Uy's body trembled. Mrs. Ly and her two brothers were also completely surprised.
“No… not me…”
“It was she who framed me!”
Lam Thanh Tuyet still wants to justify.
“You say you are innocent.”
“Then you can eat the things on the table again.”
In an instant, Lam Thanh Tuyet's face turned pale. She knows. She cannot eat. Because she herself knows what's inside. Just that one reaction was enough to make everyone understand everything. Lam Uy's face changed from black to blue, from blue to white. In the end, only ashes remained. He slowly turned his head. Looking at the daughter I have cherished for sixteen years. There is disappointment in the eyes. It's heartbreaking. Also anger at being deceived.
“Thanh Tuyet…”
“Is it really you?”
“Father… I…”
Lam Thanh Tuyet opened her mouth. But there are no words to explain. I also have no interest in continuing to watch this fake family drama. I walked in front of Lam Uy. Glide past him. Go straight towards the door. When I passed by him, I stopped. Using a voice that only the two of us could hear, slowly said:
"A general like you, take good care of your daughter and take good care of this house."
“Patience My complaint is limited.”
Having finished speaking, I didn't look back and walked out directly. Leaving behind is a room engulfed in suffocating silence, with the indelible loss of face and humiliation of everyone. From that day on, Lam Thanh Tuyet was completely obedient. To be more precise, everyone in the General's palace became obedient. Their eyes looking at me were no longer filled with hate, disgust and impatience like before. Which has changed. It becomes a deep-seated fear and an unconcealable fear. I'm so happy to have that quiet. Every day, I bring my fifteen "female guards" to practice in the courtyard. The progress of A That and the others was very fast. The wounds on their bodies gradually disappeared.
