Chapter 2 — Tong Uyen Chi

Having finished speaking, Chu Yen Le hugged the blanket and walked to the small bed behind the screen and quietly explained: "Tonight is the wedding night after all. If I go out now and let others see it, it wouldn't be good." I replied softly, not expecting everything to pass like that. Early the next morning, the sky had not yet completely brightened when Chu Yen Le quietly returned to the Song palace with me. As soon as my mother saw me, she was stunned. When she saw Chu Yen Le walking behind, she was even more stunned. After listening to me tell the story, my mother patted her thigh hard. "Wrong! Really wrong! How could something like this happen?" She quickly regained composure and immediately instructed: "Hurry! Come to the General's palace to pick up the young lady." "Let's do it discreetly, absolutely don't let outsiders find out!"... When Tan Tram and his cousin returned, the prestige was not small. I understand very well, he deliberately took this opportunity to let everyone know that the person he married was the second lady of the Song Palace. Things have become fixed, no one can change it. Her cousin was helped by Tan Tram and walked in. Around the two of them was an atmosphere of affection so strong that it could not be hidden. Mother just saw that scene and understood everything. She trembled and pointed at the two people, trying to suppress the anger in her heart. Sister-in-law was the one who knelt down first. "Mother, it's all Suong Ngoc's fault. It's Suong Ngoc who is at fault for you and your sister. Whatever punishment you want to kick, Suong Ngoc will accept it." She only talked about being kicked and punished, absolutely no other solutions were mentioned. Obviously, he wanted to push the boat along and tacitly acknowledge this marriage. Mother angrily threw the tea cup to the ground, pointed at her and shouted: "Has my Song palace ever mistreated you? Uyen Chi treats you like my own flesh and blood. As long as you still have a little conscience, you should not say such things!" At that time, everyone looked at me simultaneously. Since this happened until now, I have always remained silent, as if the person whose marriage was stolen was not me. Mother just thought I was trying to be strong, so she grabbed my hand and said sadly: "My daughter, if you want to cry, just cry." Mother knows I like Tan Tram. Therefore, that year when the General wanted to repay the favor of saving his life, his mother did not ask for anything but only asked for a marriage contract. At that time, Tan Tram smiled brightly and personally presented the marriage certificate. "Madam saved my life and even married my daughter. In any case, the one who benefits will be me." "You just wait and see. In the future, when you grow up, you will definitely consider Uyen Chi more important than your life."In the beginning, he often came to see me, he often told me about the loneliness in the desert, the majestic landscape in the North. Every time he talked about going into battle to fight the enemy, taking the head of the enemy general among thousands of soldiers, he deliberately threatened me. I heard it so much that my heart was pounding, and I kept waving my hands. "Don't tell me anymore, don't tell me anymore." Later, my cousin went to Song Palace to take refuge. Perhaps since she was a child, she had followed her elders everywhere and was much more experienced than me, so she and Tan Tram had a very good conversation. Most of the time, I just sit quietly and listen to two people chatting. Sometimes a little doubt arose in my heart, but then it was forced down by the two people's jokes. We should have realized it sooner. I withdrew my thoughts, smiled and shook my head at my mother. But Tan Tram lost all patience with my silence. He frowned slightly, helped his sister stand up, and gently comforted her: "It's not your fault. It was the ignorant servants who made mistakes." "Moreover, your body couldn't stand it either." Having finished speaking, he raised his head to look at me, a cold warning in his eyes. "Suong Ngoc is now Mrs.

mine, is also the female owner of the General's mansion." "I'll see who dares to touch her."... As soon as these words were uttered... Tan Tram seemed determined to tear his face with the Song palace. Chu Yen Le stepped forward, quietly blocking me behind him. His usual gentle temperament disappeared, leaving only a sharp cold look. Tan Tram suddenly burst into laughter, he looked at me and Chu Yen Le with meaningful eyes. "Moreover, the young man and woman are living together. in case..." "Nothing happened..." "Who would believe that?" "A woman who is no longer pure, my Tan family doesn't need it." My mother was so angry that she fainted. I couldn't bear it anymore. "Pop!" A slap landed straight on Tan Tram's face. I pointed at him and shouted: "That year when you were young, my mother took a knife to save you. Since then, she has a heart condition, absolutely do not get excited." "You don't know that!" Tan Tram moved his lips but still said nothing. He held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with nostalgia as if he had just found a lost treasure. "I just... don't want to have to live in regret for losing Suong Ngoc for decades to come. "At that moment... I suddenly understood. This was the Tan Tram of his previous life, he also had revived. But right now I didn't have the heart to think too much. I quickly called the doctor to come and examine my mother. Chu Yen Le still stood next to me and didn't leave me. Only when the doctor confirmed that my mother was no longer in danger did I breathe a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry." I'm afraid your reputation will also be affected." "Don't worry. I will cooperate with you." "Wait a few months, when everything calms down, you just need to write a letter of reconciliation." "If your work as an official requires the Song Palace's help, the Song Palace will also spare no effort." Seeing Chu Yen Le's somewhat impatient expression, I suddenly understood.
