Chapter 2 — The Holy Woman Hears the Sound of Birds

Last night I risked my life in protest, not wanting to let that disgusting guy touch my body. But Bui Triet grinned, his voice was hoarse like a devil: "Even if I'm sick, I still have scars on my face." "We were born as a pair, no one should criticize anyone!" He rushed towards me like a hungry wolf. Seeing that my resistance was too fierce, he decisively grabbed the teapot and knocked me unconscious. The next day when I woke up, my whole body was in severe pain and my clarity was destroyed. But I don't feel heartbroken, I just feel extremely disgusted, wishing I could immediately join him in death. After trying to suppress my emotions of wanting to die, I still couldn't think straight. In her previous life, To Uyen also married Bui Triet. Looking at their harmonious husband and wife appearance, it's not like they've never had sex. But in the end, what method did To Uyen use to keep herself from getting infected with that dirty disease for five years? Even if a miracle doctor came to earth, he wouldn't be able to do this, right? There is one more point, also extremely suspicious. In his previous life, Bui Triet did not like makeup, had never applied makeup on his face, and did not look like he had a venereal disease. But why in this life, the person I marry is someone who likes to wear makeup and makeup, and loves beauty more than women? Why is the guest bird's words similar to the parrot's? It's clear that our previous lives were harming us. This life feels like it's saving me? The more I think, the more confused I become. When the new wife offered tea to the mother-in-law, she almost knocked over the tea bowl because of her confusion, making them disgusted. Bui Triet saw that I had embarrassed him and became increasingly cold towards me. Except for that wedding, he never came into my room again. Don't even mention asking for my fate. But compared to my noble status, I'm even more glad that this trash has finally stayed away from me. It wasn't until half a year later that To Uyen and I married poor scholars on the same dowry date. Even if we dress splendidly, it is difficult to hide our haggard appearance. But she was radiant and full of vitality, wearing the Thuc brocade awarded by the emperor, dazzling and captivating. Only then did I know that that poor scholar had just passed the exam last month. Because To Uyen served her mother-in-law adequately, her reputation for filial piety spread far and wide. The saint rewarded and especially appointed To Uyen to be a second-class concubine. The whole room was congratulating To Uyen on her great joy. As for me, I stared at the fragrant bag on her waist, falling into deep contemplation. After returning to the palace, I secretly called my confidant's maid and told her to go and listen to two things. At dusk, the maid returned, leaned into my ear and whispered in a low voice. My pupils shrank, I was completely surprised. The first story is that the poor scholar had a debilitating illness. But after the wedding night with To Uyen, for some reason, she suddenly became radiant and healthy, her body getting better and better. The second story is To Uyen. She had already had an affair with Bui Triet! Today, when I saw that she was wearing Bui Triet's scented bag, I thought it was a coincidence. But the maid told me that she saw with her own eyes that after To Uyen left the palace, she did not return to the poor scholar's home. On the contrary, when others weren't paying attention, he quietly got into Bui Triet's carriage. She gritted her teeth and followed all the way until they entered a nunnery. She tried to wait for them to leave before going in to see what a big bed it was! There are also clear traces on it, just looking at it, you can tell that it's just raining. I tried to suppress my disgust, staring at the birds outside the window chirping but no longer speaking human language. The doubts in my heart became more and more dense. 5 Without realizing it, five years passed. Except for occasionally going back to my mother's house to visit, most of the time I am locked up in the hospital, hardly seeing the sunlight. Until that night, it rained

When I grew up, I stayed at my mother's house. In the middle of the night, someone secretly knocked on the palace gate. Just like her previous life, To Uyen's body was completely wet and told the old housekeeper not to alarm others. Tell him to secretly wake up my parents and me. When we all reached the next room, she carefully took out the wooden box hidden in her lap and tremblingly handed it to her father. She gritted her teeth and said: "Uncle, King Qi wants to harm our Tham family!" My parents were immediately surprised and instinctively looked towards me. I frowned slightly and hesitantly said: "Could it be a misunderstanding?" "I've been in Qi Vuong's palace for so many years, and I haven't noticed anything unusual about them." This is true. Even though I was coldly treated by Bui Triet, after all, I am a concubine and have a certain amount of power. Over the past five years, I have thoroughly investigated the Royal Palace from the inside out. King Qi had a straightforward personality and did not understand deceitful tricks. Princess Qi worshiped Buddha all year round and did not ask questions about life. Although Bui Triet is a disgusting bastard, he is only interested in lust and has no interest in court politics. They really don't have any reason to slander us. But To Uyen bit her lip and firmly said: "Bieu sister, Uyen Uyen dares to say that, there must be evidence!" "If there is no surprise, early tomorrow morning, His Majesty will send someone to Tham residence to search the house, by then everything will be late!" Having said that, she looked at her father impatiently again.
