Chapter 6 — The whole capital is waiting for me to discover the truth

Not because of heartache. It's because I suddenly understood something. It turns out the feeling of someone really seeing you... Is like this. In winter, Luc Thanh Ha was promoted. From the seventh level of marginal practice, he promoted to the level of six-level thi doc. The benefits increased a little, he was so happy that he couldn't contain it, the first thing he did when he returned home was running to tell me -

"Tri Y, I bought you a new quilt, this winter won't be cold anymore."

It's just a cotton blanket. However, his excited appearance looked like he had just bought a precious sheepskin coat. I reached out my hand to receive the cotton blanket and gently touched it. It's very warm indeed. At night, he spread the blanket on the bed and stood next to me, waiting for my reaction. I crawled into the blanket and lay down.

“Hmm, very warm.”

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed. Then he opened his old blanket, so thin that he could almost see through it, and shivered slightly:

“… Well, my blanket is quite warm.”

I lifted up a new corner of the blanket: He was momentarily stunned.

“Let's sleep together, your other blanket is as thin as paper.”

“But… before, she slept alone…”

“I changed my mind.”

He was like a big dog whose owner called him back to the nest, carefully crawling into the blanket little by little. Lying curled up in the corner of the bed, not even daring to move. I sighed softly and pulled his arm directly over to use as a pillow.

“In the future, only use one blanket, don't waste it.”

He said "um" and his voice was a bit choked. But I can feel the person behind me smiling. The heartbeat close to my back is both fast and strong. Married to Wei Chengduan thirty-eight years ago in my previous life, I slept on the best purple sandal bed in the main room, covered with a silk blanket donated by To Chau. Wei Thua Duan only comes twice a month, lies down and sleeps, and leaves as soon as it gets light. He has never hugged me. Luc Thanh Ha only had a new cotton blanket, holding me in her arms, her heart pounding non-stop. He called softly:

"For the rest of my life, I won't let you become a laughing stock anymore. In my place..."

He paused for a moment, as if gathering all his courage:

“She is the only main part.”

Days passed like that day by day. Peaceful but steady. In the early spring of that year, Luc Thanh Ha planted a peach tree in the backyard. He said it takes three years for a peach tree to bear fruit, so we should wait until our children grow up to be able to eat it. Mentioning the child, his ears turned red. We pretend like we don't see. It's just that news from the capital, intermittently, sometimes still reaches my ears. Concubine Trieu is pregnant. It should be a fun thing. But when Wei Thua Duan heard the news, his face turned terrifyingly gloomy. Not because it's not fun. But because he suddenly remembered before - When Tong Tri Y was pregnant with his eldest son, he only told his servants to take good care of him, and then he went to Concubine Trieu's room. When Concubine Trieu was pregnant, Wei Thua Duan also wanted to be a responsible husband and take care of her himself. But he discovered that he didn't know what to do. How to stew soup, what to abstain from eating, when to rest - In the past, all of these things were handled by Tong Tri Y alone. Even the discomforts of her own pregnancy were rare mentioned. So he always thought that pregnancy was such a simple thing. Concubine Trieu's morning sickness was very severe, day and night she was tormented to the point of restlessness. Wei Cheng Duan was in a daze, unable to even find someone who could help. The servants in the palace have long since changed to a new generation - After Tong Tri Y left, she also took with her the well-educated maids and women. The remaining people are either old people next to Princess Trieu and only know how to flatter; Or the servants just bought it and don't even understand the basic rules. Concubine Trieu scolded him:

"How did you treat Tong Tri Y before? She got whatever she wanted, how comfortable it was to serve you! When it was my turn, you didn't know how to do anything?"

Wei Cheng Duan was silent for a long time. He didn't say it out loud - It wasn't like he treated Tong Tri Y well before. But Tong Tri Y did everything, and he just sat back and enjoyed the results. He enjoyed it for so many years, to the point of taking it all for granted. Until that so-called "natural thing" left.
