Chapter 7
Chapter 7 — Truc Ma planned to make me his concubine, I became someone he had to kneel and worship
But I didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, people were frightened:
"You're the one who insisted on meeting her, so I brought her here. Are you bored asking these things?"
The Queen Mother glared at him fiercely:
"Tch! You rotten brat, he's talking to his daughter-in-law, why are you interrupting!"
The Queen Mother turned to look at me again:
“Indeed, she is a beautiful and intelligent woman, kind and virtuous, courageous and cunning.”
The reversal in this assessment was so quick, I didn't have time to react. On the contrary, Mo Lam An had already reacted first, he was extremely arrogant:
“Of course, this is the person in my heart that I have known all my life!”
The Queen Mother did not like Mo Lam An's harsh words, so she directly pushed him aside and then pulled me back for a private chat. She was curious and asked me how I could see the real and fake books of the treasurers. She also asked me where I had gone with the merchant fleet to the sea and if I had encountered any surprises. She also praised me for taking care of the country and the people, helping Vanh citadel stabilize the price of rice... It turns out that every story related to me, Mo Lam An, wrote in the family letter to tell the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother gently patted my hand:
"His eyes are high, his personality is arrogant, he doesn't pay any attention to the women he has chosen before."
"I thought he would be alone all his life, but he didn't expect that he would deliberately look at me."
"That was originally a good thing. Who was planning to let her marry me and become a royal concubine? Who would have thought that when a reply letter came back, she would make a mess and demand to live in the house."
“At that time, whoever was so angry that he immediately had someone tie him back and beat him until he couldn't stand up.”
"But who would have thought that as soon as he recovered a little, he said that even if he crawled, he would have to crawl to Vanh citadel."
"I was locked up by Ai and went on a hunger strike, refused to take medicine, my whole body was very skinny, had stubble, and was confused every day. Ai was really afraid that I would raise him to death."
The Queen Mother said this, her face involuntarily revealed a sad look.
"In the end, Ai family threatened him, if he still wanted to stay as a son-in-law, he had to break off his mother-child relationship with Ai family."
“Who would have thought that he would actually agree!!!”
When the Queen Mother mentioned this, she was still so angry that she gritted her teeth. My heart trembled slightly, looking towards Mo Lam An, remembering the time he suddenly disappeared, when he returned, his face was bruised, he was limping, a feeling of bitterness and pain immediately arose in my heart. The sweetness that had just arisen was mixed with the fear that he could lose him at any time. I gently took a sip of the tea in my hand. The tea taste is both bitter and sweet. The Queen Mother continued:
"Knowing that Ai family was angered by this evil man to the point of harming his body, the Emperor ordered someone to beat him again. New love over old love, the most heartbreaking is still the person who acts as a mother like Ai family?"
"In the end, I had to leave him alone, as if this son had never been born. As long as he is healthy and happy, that's all."
"Fortunately, the person he met was you. The housekeeping schedule has never been interrupted for half a month. You're very good, and you've taught him very well. You're more reasonable... well... it doesn't seem to be much more reasonable."
Having said this, the Queen Mother helplessly glanced at him, but her eyes were full of love and pampering. Mo Lam An was still on the other side, grinning:
“What's wrong?”
The Queen Mother spoke softly scolded him:
“Why haven't you gone away yet?”
Mo Lam An replied with reason:
"If you pay me back, I'll leave immediately!"
Looking at the two people fighting, we finally understood who Mo Lam An's habit of talking too much was inherited from. I originally thought that everyone in the royal family was noble and majestic, with strict rules, and rarely spoke or smiled. Who would have thought that they could be like any other normal family, boisterous and harmonious, laughing and joking happily. After having dinner with the Queen Mother in the palace, Mo Lam An wanted to coax me back to the Royal Palace. But in our hearts we hide too many feelings. The more considerate he is, the better he treats me, the more worried, frustrated, scared, and insecure I become. I'm afraid that when the truth is revealed, I will turn into a gray, bereaved dog and leave this imperial city. He must have seen that I had something to say, so he directly moved into the Hai Palace himself.
