Chapter 5 — When I was born, the day I got divorced, I turned around and married the person who had been waiting for me all my life

When Tieu Canh Dich returned to the palace, he told me the rumors outside as jokes. After listening, I did not respond.

“Why aren't you happy?” He leaned closer to look at my face.

“Not unhappy.”

I put down the needle and thread, leaned into his arms: "Just thinking, once life takes one wrong step, there will be no turning back." He squeezed me tighter, his chin gently brushing my hair: "Didn't I turn my head?" I laughed out loud, raised my hand and punched him: "What are you turning around for?"

“I don't have to turn back.”

He lowered his head and gently kissed my ear: "I made you turn your head."

"In the past, in her eyes, there was only Tham Nghien Chi, but now what?"

“It's just you now, okay?”

He was overwhelmed by the water: "You have to say one thing, what the hell is Tham Nghien Chi?"

“…… Tham Nghien Chi is… what… what.”

He was finally satisfied, smiling so much that his eyes squinted into one line. Time passed very quickly, in the blink of an eye it was already winter. That day I returned to the Prime Minister's mansion to visit my mother. Mother has lost a bit of weight, but her spirit is still very good.

“There is a lot of chaos in Tham Nghien Chi's palace now.”

She poured tea for me and said: "His biological mother has been sent to the village outside the city, and To Uyen Thanh has been at peace for a while, but recently started causing trouble again."

“How did you cause trouble?”

"She said she was pregnant, she lay in the room all day and refused to get up. When Tham Nghien Chi came to visit her, she cried and said that she was not destined to be a mother in this palace, and even the baby in her womb had to suffer wrongly with her."

I raised my cup of tea, hiding the smile at the corner of my lips. In her previous life, To Uyen Thanh also took advantage of the child countless times to cause trouble. Her other son is the biggest card used to force me to cede my position as Lady Hau.

“How do you feel, mother?” I asked.

Mother glanced at me sideways: "What do I think? It has nothing to do with me. Other people's family matters, as long as they don't delay my card game." I was made to laugh non-stop by my mother's words. Tu Tuong went out, and as soon as he raised his head, he encountered Tham Nghien Chi. He had lost a lot of weight, his whole body no longer had the same airy demeanor as before, even his cheekbones were clearly visible.

“Chieu Ninh.”

He called me, his voice somewhat hoarse and choked. I bowed to him and took half a step back.

“No need to call me Crown Prince anymore.”

He smiled bitterly: "I've been demoted, maybe one day I'll even have the title of Crown Prince..."

“Master Shen.”

I followed his request to change my address. His face immediately turned paler.

“Has Chieu Ninh been well recently?”

He asked, his eyes still lingering on my face: "I heard that Tieu Tam Lang treats you very well." I smiled softly: "My husband takes extremely good care of me."

“That's good.”

The corners of his lips moved slightly: "That's good." I nodded slightly at him, then passed him and continued walking. After walking a few steps, his voice suddenly came from behind. I don't turn back.

“Lately I've been having a dream often.”

I stopped walking, my spine stiffening slightly.

“In my dream I married you, then…”

His voice trembled slightly: "Then she died. I couldn't save her." I tightened my sleeves to the point of almost deforming them. What happened in his past life, why could he dream about it?

“Master Shen.”

I turned around and looked straight into his eyes: "A dream is just a dream, it doesn't need to be considered real. Besides, you've already broken up. Who you married in the dream has nothing to do with the present anymore." His lips trembled slightly, a flash of panic appeared in his eyes. I turned around and left, this time I really didn't look back. Something happened to the baby in To Uyen Thanh's belly. The news was brought back by Tieu Canh Dich, saying that To Uyen Thanh had a miscarriage, and was crying loudly, saying someone had harmed her. I asked who. Tieu Canh Dich shook his head: "She couldn't say anything, she just kept saying that someone wanted to harm her."

“What did Tham Nghien Chi say?”

"Tham Nghien Chi didn't say anything, he just told someone to cover her mouth and don't make a big deal out of it."

I was silent for a moment.
