Chapter 4 — The Husband Wants To Marry My Maid, I Take The initiative To Make Her His Wife

"The day after tomorrow, you just need to bring the holy decree, appear at the right time three hours at the right time."

“I understand.”

Phung An nodded.

“The content of the holy edict, the slave has memorized it.”

I slowly added.

“Tell Kham Thien Giam's people to spread the news, saying that the eight characters of General Co and his new wife are a match made in heaven, compatible with family and home, prosperous husband and family.”

Phung An was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood my intention, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Your Highness is wise. The higher you lift it... the more it hurts when you fall."

After Phung An retired, I did not immediately return to the palace. The carriage stopped in place for a long time. I lifted the car curtain and looked at the moon obscured by dark clouds. Co Van Tranh, you think you can win against a woman. But you don't know, what you lost was the Co family's hundred-year inheritance, the lives of your entire clan. You think I love you to the core, that's why I'm willing to give in. But you don't know, from the moment you stepped into my princess palace, between you and me... there was only calculation left. You and that maid of yours - who is so pleased that he has forgotten everything - are just two discarded pieces on my chess board, used to checkmate. The night wind blew, the dark clouds dissipated, the moonlight fell again, cold like dew. I let down the car curtain, my voice was calm without any ripples. The great play… has just begun. The capital was completely shaken. The eldest princess was robbed of her husband by her maid, not only did not get angry, but on the contrary, she actively gave up her position as the main wife to serve her "true love". This story brings together all the elements that street people like to hear the most: royalty, betrayal, love, and secrets of the wealthy. After just one night, I went from being a noble princess that everyone feared, to a lovelorn resentful woman who was pitied but also secretly ridiculed. The gentleman told a story in the restaurant about saliva flying everywhere, turning the "love triangle" between me, Co Van Tranh and Ngoc Yen into more than ten different versions. In each of those versions, we are the ones who love without reciprocation, and in the end can only gloomily withdraw and serve as a background for others. And my princess's palace... also started to get "noisy". The first person to step up to the door was Co Van Tranh's mother, the future Mrs. Co. She brought with her a large pile of precious nutritious food, saying that she came to "visit" and "thank" me.

“Hey, your highness the eldest princess.”

As soon as she entered the door, she immediately pulled my hand, her face filled with fake pain.

"What's the point of doing that? That kid Van Tranh doesn't understand anything, so why are you even following him around in such a ruckus?"

I withdrew my hand and invited her to sit down, looking faintly calm.

"Lady Gu said too much. This is my own decision."

“You are too generous!”

She held a handkerchief and gently pressed it to the corner of her eyes that didn't have a single tear in them.

“Our Co family was able to marry a good lady like Ngoc Yen, thanks to His Highness!”

"You can rest assured, from now on you will be a distinguished guest of our Co family. Whoever dares to disrespect you, I will be the first to disagree!"

Outside her mouth said words of appreciation, but the pride and contempt in his eyes could not be hidden no matter what. In her eyes, a strong eldest princess like me is still no match for a docile maid, no match for her excellent son. Before, every time she met me, she always had to lower herself a bit, her words were full of flattery. Today, she sat up straight again, her spine stronger than ever before. Because her son had "conquered" an elder princess.

"Right."

As if she suddenly remembered something, she took out an invitation card from her sleeve and placed it on the table in front of me.

"This is tomorrow's wedding card. Your Highness... if you have time, come and drink a glass of wine to celebrate. Let everyone see, you and our Co family... are still one family."

This is the ultimate humiliation. Wanted me to personally witness their family's "victory". Xuan Hoa stood behind me, so angry that her nails were almost digging into her skin.
