Chapter 4 — The Husband takes on two duties, we reconcile and become a Princess

"The two kids are a little strange because they haven't seen each other for so long. Let them stay together for a while to develop their feelings, and we... just talked to the three of us for a bit."

We are a little worried in our hearts. Bach Chi Suong smiled faintly: "Just in the next room, are you still afraid that Thien Huu will eat Niep Niep?" I nodded to Niep Niep. The two of them left, the maid finished cleaning up, and served hot tea. I sat down, looked at the two of them, without the slightest smile.

“Tieu Dich Han, I am your righteous wife, Niep Niep is your daughter, you would rather leave your sister-in-law and nephew by your side, don't you want us to stay?”

He did not speak up immediately. After a while, he looked at Bach Chi Suong, looked at me again, then opened his mouth: "Tri Kien, the capital is not like the countryside, here there is no way to carry two rooms, in a palace there is only one wife or mother."

"The current His Majesty hates chaos in the backyard the most. For the sake of this position, for the sake of this house, I cannot take risks."

"You are my wife, the person who should support me the most. You don't want us to go back to those miserable days."

I laughed coldly: "For me and Niep Niep, is there any difference?"

"Once you become an official, our lives become even more difficult. I become a widow but my husband is still alive, Niep Niep becomes a child without a father."

He immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "This was my mistake. I guarantee that this will not happen again in the future. Our Niep Niep will be fed and dressed without worry." Bach Chi Suong pretended to wipe the corner of her eyes: "Tri Kien, it's all my fault, I also guarantee you that this situation will not happen again in the future." The two of them were clearly determined not to let me and Niep Nie stay. I took a deep breath: "Do you know why I came to the capital to find you, even not bothering to go for a whole month?" He shook his head.

"You don't know anything, you don't know how we live, you don't know that we are being bullied by others, you don't even know that our house was swept away by the flood."

"Our house is no longer there, Tieu Dich Han, all you can do is chase me away. From the moment I walked in the door, you haven't asked a single question, not even a look of pity."

The more I talk, the more embarrassed I become. All the hardships and pain along this journey are all poured out into this moment. He was stunned: "How is that possible?" I said coldly: "If you don't believe it, just send someone back to check it out!" He quickly waved his hand, but before he could say anything, there was a shrill scream in the next room. My heart trembled, I rushed forward a few steps, calling Niep Niep. After rushing in, I saw Tieu Thien Huu's forehead bleeding, and the corner of the table had clear blood stains. Waiting for Tieu Dich Han to enter, the maid immediately began to accuse: "Sir, the young master and the young lady were eating breakfast, the two of them said something, and suddenly they started to attack."

“When the slave turned around, the young lady pushed the young master, and the young master immediately bumped into the corner of the table.”

Bach Chi Suong looked at Niep Niep with a resentful expression. As soon as she moved, I stood in front of Niep Niep. With a pop, I was slapped. She pointed at me: “Tham Tri Kien, if anything happens to my Thien Huu, I will make sure you and this bastard cannot die peacefully!” Having finished speaking, she loudly called someone to invite her to the palace. Nie Nie looked at me: "Mother, it wasn't me who did it. It was clearly my brother scolding me first. I just gently pushed him and he hit the table himself." I looked at Tieu Dich Han, his face was filled with coldness, looking at Niep Niep as if looking at an enemy.

"Tham Tri Kien, this is the good daughter you taught. In just one day, you have made everyone uneasy."

"No need to say anything else, tomorrow I will send someone to take you back, don't come again in the future!"

Tieu Dich Han turned around and left. Even the maids in the room followed suit and left. Before leaving, their eyes looked at us with no hidden malice. I comforted Niep Nie in my heart: "It's okay, mother believes me, this is just a misunderstanding, tell your father clearly tomorrow." The girl looked uneasy, pulling at my sleeve: "Mother, is it because father doesn't like me, is it because Niep Nie is not good enough?" My tears almost fell. I kissed him: "How is that possible, you are your father's only child, it's just that you two have been apart for so long, your father is a little embarrassed." I coaxed him for a long time, then realized that he was fast asleep. After a month long journey, she must have reached her limit. Not long after, a maid came and looked at me with a noble expression.

“Kind lady, you injured the young master, still remember to arrange a room for you, follow me.”

I'm not in the mood to compare with you. Right now, Niep Nie and I both need to rest better. Tomorrow we definitely cannot leave, we must stay, otherwise we will only die. It's been a long time since I've slept in bed, but I'm not sleepy at all. Patting Niep Niep, I remembered the past between me and Tieu Dich Han. When I was five years old, I followed my nanny to Tieu village, and from there took root and lived. She told me not to mention my status as a princess, and not to mention the past, telling me to forget everything and start over. She told me to call her mother, but I don't have a father, so in the village I was always bullied by other children. After being bullied again, I met Tieu Dich Han.
