Chapter 4 — The day I was left behind in the abandoned temple, the Princess kicked in the door to welcome me home

Filled with fear. Marriage date? Those two words were like two resounding slaps. Cruelty hit all of them in the face. But Tieu Canh Hanh completely ignored the reactions of those people. His eyes from beginning to end were on me. From my face. The hem of the dress was stained with blood. Then there was the unusually crooked leg. His eyebrows furrowed more and more. The storm rolling in the bottom of my eyes also became more and more dense. Like trying to suppress something. It's like just one more spark will completely explode.

“What's wrong with her leg?”

He asked me, his voice trying to suppress his anger.

“Injured by falling.”

I replied very briefly. I don't answer. Just slightly raised his eyes, faintly glanced at Lam Van Hien. A very light glance. But enough is enough. Tieu Canh Hanh followed my gaze and looked over. Lam Van Hien was swept by that cold gaze, so scared that his whole body trembled, and he instinctively took a step back. Tieu Canh Hanh understood. He didn't say anything. Just slightly raise your hand. A bodyguard behind him immediately took a step forward.

“Take Mr. Lam out.”

Tieu Canh Hanh's voice was very calm, but underneath that calmness was a pressure that sent chills down people's spines. That word "invite". He deliberately pressed very hard. The bodyguard took orders and strode towards Lam Van Hien. Lam Van Hien panicked.

“Prince Xiao, you... what do you mean?”

Lam Thi Lang also regained her composure and hurriedly stepped forward, clasping her hands and bowing.

“My lord, is this... is there some misunderstanding?”

“The marriage between Van Hien and Chieu Ninh was decided a long time ago!”

Tieu Canh Hanh finally moved his eyes away from him and looked at Lam Thi Lang. The corners of his lips curled slightly into a sarcastic smile.

“Already decided?”

"Why doesn't this crown prince know when my Tieu Canh Hanh's fiancee had an engagement with someone else?"

Lam Thi Lang was so choked that she couldn't speak. Tieu Canh Hanh no longer looked at him, but turned his eyes to my father.

“Father-in-law, it seems your palace is very bustling today.”

“How about we deal with these unrelated people first, and then we can discuss politics?”

My father finally found his voice again. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced out a smile that was even more unsightly than crying.

“Your Highness... you... you're joking.”

"Chieu Ninh... he and Van Hien have a marriage contract, it was decided when his mother was still alive..."

“My mother?”

I interrupted him and laughed coldly.

"The marriage contract that my mother made was with Tran Quoc Cong's palace, with Tieu Canh Hanh."

“There is black and white paper, and there is a token to testify.”

"Father, are you an old man so confused that you don't remember clearly, or do you feel that my mother has passed away, so this marriage can be left to you to negotiate?"

I say one sentence. His father's face turned a little whiter. Until we finish talking. His face was as white as paper. Tieu Canh Hanh looked at him. The temperature in his eyes had dropped to freezing point.

“So that's it.”

“Vinh An Marquis, your courage is really not small.”

“Dare to promise to marry the daughter-in-law of my Tran Quoc Cong palace to someone else.”

That statement is not heavy. But the weight inside is enough to collapse the entire palace Vinh An Hau. My father's legs were soft. I almost knelt down to the ground.

“No... don't dare!”

"Your Highness the Minh Giam! This... this is all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding as big as the sky!"

Now he knows how to be afraid. The prestige when he just forced me to marry Lam Van Hien has completely disappeared. Tieu Canh Hanh waved his hand. It's like chasing away flies.

“Throw them out.”

Two bodyguards stepped forward. One person on each side. Like carrying chicks, directly lifting Lam Thi Lang and Lam Van Hien up. Mrs. Lam screamed and then fainted. Lam Van Hien is still struggling.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

"An Ninh! Tham Chieu Ninh!"

“Listen to my explanation!”

“It's not what you think!”

I looked at his struggling appearance as he was dragged out. There were no ripples in my heart. Explain? No need anymore. Since the moment he left me alone in that abandoned temple.
