Chapter 16 — The Sister Who Stealed the Merit to Save People, I Smiled and Conceded Even to the Crown Prince

“Is it you who cured her leg?”

She only hesitated for a moment. Then gently bowed his head.

“It was I who healed your legs.”

That one sentence. Unlocking all the glory she had ever dreamed of. Also pushing her down a path of no return. If that day she was not greedy. If that day she told the truth. Perhaps she is still just a concubine of the Lieu family. Perhaps we still have to live under the shadow of Lieu Lang Suong. But at least she will have a way out. At least I won't let him step into a deep hole. At least it won't become the laughing stock of the capital. Lieu Nhu Yen sat on the cold bed, hugging her knees tightly. Tears fell onto the old shirt. But she cried not because she regretted stealing Lieu Lang Suong's credit. She only regrets that she lost. She hates Lieu Lang Suong for why she was reborn. I hate Ly Hoanh Hao for not being able to maintain his position as Crown Prince. I hate the Queen for finding her biological child. I hate why Tham Thanh Du appeared at the right time. I hate the heavens for not standing by her side until the end. I just don't hate myself for being greedy. Don't hate yourself for lying. Don't hate yourself for taking something that doesn't belong to you. An old palace maid sent to look after her once stood outside the door, listening to her cry and scold her for half the night. The next morning, the maid just shook her head and sighed.

“Until now I still don't know where I went wrong.”

"Someone like that, even if they do it again, they will still follow the same path."

Lieu Nhu Yen heard it. She rushed to knock on the door. shouted loudly:

“I'm not wrong!”

“I just want to live better!”

“I just want others to see me!”

No one responded to her. Outside the courtyard door, the autumn wind blows through dry branches. The sound of falling leaves rustling is like a very light laugh. From then on, Lieu Nhu Yen often dreamed of being Queen. In the dream, she was still high and noble. When she woke up, she still had nothing. The greediest person is not the one who wants more. It's a person who robs someone else and still feels it's not enough.
