Chapter 2
Chapter 2 — The Husband takes on two duties, we reconcile and become a Princess
She pointed to a maid next to her: "Go to the kitchen and bring a few plates of breakfast for my little girl to eat." The other maid replied: "Yes, ma'am." Although she bowed her head, we could still see her mocking smile. I pulled at my clothes, no matter how uncomfortable it felt, I just had more important things to ask.
“My sister-in-law, why do everyone in this palace call me my wife?”
Bach Chi Suong's face stiffened. I pretended not to see: "Furthermore, just now I was outside asking for directions, and I also heard that Mrs. Poinsettia is a gentle person and likes to do good deeds. Is she an in-law?" She wiped the corner of her mouth: "Little sister, listen to my explanation." I faintly said "yes". She was stunned, probably not expecting me to be so calm.
"Tri Kien, after Dich Han and I arrived in the capital, we had no money and no power. We endured a lot of hardships to have the mansion and position we have today."
"Furthermore, there are many things that require not only dealing with men, but also maintaining good relationships with the ladies of the mandarins. If you are not here, I can only grit my teeth and take charge."
I nodded: "That also means, currently in this palace is the housekeeper of the sister-in-law, so they call the sister-in-law madame, which makes things more convenient. That's the idea, right?" She nodded and said yes. I held her hand, a comforting look on my face.
"I thought my days in the countryside were miserable enough. Every day from dawn to dusk, I had to work hard, not eat enough, and not sleep warm enough. I didn't expect that you people here wouldn't be relieved at all."
She patted my hand: "It's all for this house, it's also what I should do." I smiled: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, you can teach me a little, I can also help you with the housekeeper, then you won't have to work so hard anymore." The smile on her face immediately disappeared.
"You can't stay here, Tri Kien, play here for a few days, open your eyes, then take the child back with you, I will send someone to take you home." I looked towards the door, Tieu Dich Han spoke with a cold expression.
Seeing him coming, Bach Chi Suong walked over, took the dou-la in his hand, and naturally asked: "Since when did it start to rain outside? Are you wet?" Tieu Dich Han smiled and shook his head, pulled her to sit down, and instructed the maid to bring a hand warmer.
"Song Nhi, her legs are not good. It's cold so you have to pay attention to keeping warm."
I coldly looked at the two of them. After five years of living together, they were like family, and Nie Niep and I were like relatives coming to stay. I coughed softly. The two of them seem to have just remembered that I still exist. Tieu Dich Han with a kind expression called Niep Nie over, picked her up and sat on his lap, then looked towards me.
"Tri Kien, relationships in the capital are complicated, it's difficult for you and Niep Nie to adapt, let alone having my eldest sister-in-law by my side, that's enough."
I never thought that my husband, whom I had missed day and night for five years, would chase me away the first time we met. My face turned cold: "What, am I staying here to disturb your lovemaking, or are you saying you're afraid I'll compete for the position of Mrs. Poinsettia?" Tieu Dich Han's smile also retracted and sighed.
“Tri Kien, I also do it for your good, you and Niep Niep return to the village, have money and leisure, more free than in the capital. much."
Bach Chi Suong was also next to him and chimed in: "Yes, Tri Kien, although I seem to be in a good mood, many things are out of control." I snorted coldly: "If you have money, do you have leisure? Tieu Dich Han, you really don't hurt your back when you stand and talk."
“For five years, I waited day and night in the village, but you never returned, so this matter is over. If you don't come back, why don't you send some money back? Do you know how we lived these five years?"
I rolled up my sleeves, and rolled up Niep Niep's sleeves. The two arms were not the same in size, but they were similar in that they were thin and fleshless. Tieu Dich Han saw it, his face was full of disbelief: "How is this possible? Every year I send money, checks, and some snacks from the capital and new things to you!" Having finished speaking, he looked towards Bach Chi Suong: "Song Nhi, what is this matter? Haven't these things always been handled by you?" Bach Chi Suong glanced at me: "I followed your instructions. It must have been the cunning slaves in charge who secretly swallowed it, see if I don't skin him!" Having said that, she boldly went out to find someone to settle the matter. I looked coldly and turned to Tieu Dich Han.
“Husband, for five years, I have never received anything you sent. Furthermore, I have written countless letters to ask you, but you have not responded once.”
He opened his mouth: "I have never received a letter from you. I even told Song Nhi that you are a literate person, yet you didn't even write a letter. I thought you blamed me." I closed my eyes, tears falling down. No one said another word, the whole room fell silent. After a week of tea, Bach Chi Suong led someone in, and the man immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Sir, spare your life, sir, spare your life. I'm too greedy, I know I'm wrong!"
I looked towards Bach Chi Suong. A trace of mockery flashed at the corner of her mouth, but after seeing me, she returned to her original indignation. I put down the tea cup: "So what about the book?" What's the use of blocking your mail? It can't be eaten or sold, why?" He was clearly stunned: "Villain... I have never seen a book before, and this matter is not under my control!"
