Chapter 2 — To Nhuoc

Mix dirty things in my food again. I didn't say a word, I just quietly threw it away and went to the kitchen to cook it again. He even ran out and told everyone that I seduced his father and forced his mother to leave. A little bigger. Every day he skips school and fights with others. We have to go to each house one by one to apologize. Go to each house to pay compensation. Behind him were countless eyes pointing and discussing. Tieu Can Nien never once stood up to protect me. But when Lien Sinh injured his knee while fighting, he immediately blamed me for not taking good care of him. Lien Sinh had a high fever at night. He coldly said: "A stepmother like you is not even as good as a maid." He hated my eldest brother for forcing him and his sister to separate. Therefore, all that hatred was vented on that person. On the bed, he squeezed my chin and asked, "Are you even looking down on me?" He criticized me for being quiet. Criticize me for being boring. Criticizing me is not equal to a part of your sister's vitality. "Is someone like you... also worthy of being the third lady of the Minister's Palace?" I don't argue. Just treat Lien Sinh well day after day. Decoction for it. Make clothes for it. Instead, he suffered the teacher's punishment. That child's heart is not made of stone. Gradually... It no longer avoids my hand. When we are sick, he will secretly put a piece of candy next to our pillow. When Tieu Can Nien scolded me, he would whisper: "Stop scolding people." I thought... Life could finally pass peacefully. But... Someone has arrived in the palace. It turns out that Tieu Can Nien is the Third Prince who was betrayed in the past. The day his name was recorded back in the royal family, the whole capital was in an uproar. At that time I was just pregnant. Haven't had time to tell him the news yet. I happily ran to find it. But down the hallway he saw his sister standing in front of him, crying so much that her shoulders were shaking. He held her wrist tightly, his voice hoarse: "I miss Lien Sinh..." "Could it be... that you don't miss me at all?" The two hugged each other tightly. Like a pair of miserable lovebirds separated. I stood silently in the corner of the hallway. Finally, he quietly returned to his hospital. From then on... I often saw the three of them sitting and having meals together. Let's walk hand in hand in the garden. Lien Sinh sat next to his sister. Tieu Can Nien picked up food for her. The entire dining table was filled with a warm atmosphere like a real family. One time I just accidentally looked a little more. Tieu Can Nien's face immediately darkened. "Her heart is so dark." "Can't stand the sight of the three of us being reunited as a family?" Lien Sinh also reached out to push me. "You're not my biological mother." I didn't have time to prepare. The whole person fell hard, his waist hitting the corner of the table. Lower abdominal pain. I lowered my head... I only saw that the hem of my dress was stained red with blood. In my ears was the sound of Lien Sinh crying and my sister calling for someone in panic. When I woke up. Tieu Can Nien is sitting next to the bed. A trace of guilt flashed across his face. "For the rest of my life, it's enough for me to have Lien Sinh." "I hope you will treat him as your own child." "Once the baby is gone, that's it." "At least..." "We still have Lien Sinh."... Big Brother is also extremely regretful. He said that year he should not arbitrarily force his sister to separate, causing her to separate her flesh and blood from her son. Looking back, I see that I was too confused at that time. "A Nhuoc, don't be so narrow-minded anymore. This marriage was originally yours. If you hadn't given it to me that year, I'm not sure you would have this blessing today." I didn't answer. Everyone outside praises me for my virtue. They said that when Tieu Can Nien was still wandering among the people, I still had a heart that would not leave me, truly a rare and noble wife. In front of outsiders, he treats me extremely well. Bring me food. Drink the wine for me. Put your cloak around my shoulders. Call me gently again

voice: "A Nhuoc." My sister sat next to me, every time she saw that scene her eyes turned red, her heart ached like a knife. But as soon as the door closes... Everything changes. At one point, the two of them whispered in the Dong mist room. Sometimes they quarreled to the point of breaking the tea cup. Standing outside the door, I heard my sister chokingly ask: "Why didn't you go look for me that year?" Then I heard Tieu Can Nien reply hoarsely: "You're already married to someone else, why are you still asking me?" They couldn't stay away from each other. But we can't be together. Both blamed the other for not being able to keep their old promise. Everyone thinks that they are the ones who are betrayed. Sister blamed Tieu Can Nien for letting go easily. Tieu Can Nien blamed her for not finding him. I really can't stand it anymore. I want to reconcile. Complete for them. It's also liberating yourself. But I didn't expect... My sister would cut her wrist and commit suicide. When she came to visit, her wrist was wrapped in a white bandage, her pale face leaned against the headboard, her teary eyes looking at me. "A Nhuoc, if you separate, how will people look at you?" "They will say you stole my husband." "They will say you disregarded our friendship..." "How do you tell me how to live in the future?" "I don't want your husband to misunderstand you." I looked at her bewildered. Reconciliation is also not possible. Without reconciliation, it's not over. Why is this world... So difficult? I just want a way to live. … The next day, big brother called me over. He gave me a bundle, saying that inside were clothes and shoes and socks that she personally sewed for Lien Sinh. "My sister just broke up with Tieu Can Nien, so it's inconvenient to go to Tieu family." "She missed Lien Sinh so much that she couldn't sleep all night."
