Chapter 5 — Xuan Nuong Comes Home

When Tong Tram Chau heard that, his face immediately turned pale. He remembers very clearly, ever since I could get out of bed and walk, Ly Lang Trung swore that I would get better day by day. From the fact that every month Tong Tram Chau supervised Ly Lang Trung to check his pulse, to the fact that Ly Lang Trung came to report and was blocked outside the door by Tong Tram Chau, was only half a year apart. Ly Lang Trung's conscience arose, wanting to save me. But Tong Tram Chau did not give him a chance. Tong Tram Chau clenched his fist, the blue veins on his arm appeared: "Who told him to lie?" The confidant hesitated for a long time, and said with fear: "He said... ma'am..." Zhuang! Tong Tram Chau threw the tea cup, his eyes cold as ice. At this time, Lam Nhi was awakened by the noise and weakly called out: "Father... ma'am harmed mother..." Tong Tram Chau immediately softened his expression and reassured in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I will find your mother." Lam Nhi's consciousness was unclear, the maid fed her with soup to calm her down, and she fell asleep again. At this time, Bui Nhu Y was in the banquet hall and could not wait for Tong Tram Chau to return. He sent someone to ask and found out that Tong Tram Chau braved the rain and left the city. Each guest said a word, silently mocking Bui Nhu Y: the noble lady of the house was not as good as the adulterous concubine, loved by her husband. Bui Nhu Y lost face, but it was inconvenient to have an attack, so she could only swallow the bitter taste alone. Waiting for her to try to save face and send the guests away, Tong Tram Chau also arrived in my hometown. Seeing the house where we became friends, Tong Tram Chau's whole body stiffened. A moment later, he angrily shouted: "I told you to act a little, but how dare you act like that with such disapproval?" Facing the pile of burned ruins with only an empty frame left, her confidant quickly argued: "It's the madam who said the Marquis has changed his mind, wanting to completely cut off your way out, so that you no longer have to think about leaving..." The confidant realized he had been tricked and quickly knelt down and slapped himself. Tong Tram Chau knocked on each door again, asking the neighbors if they had seen me. The neighbor said no, he didn't believe it and insisted on breaking in. I'm afraid I'll hide in someone's house. He has a premonition that if he doesn't find me today, he will never find me again. But he was beaten to pieces by the villagers and still didn't get anything. The sky gradually darkened, Tong Tram Chau was almost swallowed by despair. Suddenly, he thought Ly Lang Trung could lie, and so could the soldiers guarding the city. I am a person who is about to die, probably not leaving the city yet. Perhaps when he returns to the capital, someone will tell him good news. Tong Tram Chau rekindled his hope and urged his horse to run quickly. Bui Nhu Y waited at the gate of the Marquis Palace, wearing thin clothes, eyes filled with tears: "Husband, since you returned to the palace, I thought I no longer needed to endure people's cold, sarcastic comments. But today, I have become a laughing stock throughout the capital." "A servant who ran away with someone, is it that important?" 8 Tong Tram Chau looked down at his wife who was pretending to be weak, remembering the past three years after returning to the palace, out of guilt, he always favored her. To make up for Bui Nhu Y, he always emphasized the distinction between wives and concubines, and differences in hierarchy. As a result, his wife bribed the husband, took advantage of my illness, and wanted to put a hat on my head and run away with someone else. "Bui Nhu Y, I'm just giving you one chance. No matter what you did, just be straightforward and you can take it lightly!" This sentence was almost forced out by Tong Tram Chau from between his teeth. Bui Nhu Y's slender shoulders trembled, clearly seeing Tong Tram Chau's bloody forehead, and quickly changed the subject: "Husband, why are you injured? Where are you, quickly call the husband!" Tong Tram Chau pushed Bui Nhu Y and slammed it against the door, his eyes cold: "I'm asking you!" Bui Nhu Y was shouted at so much that he lost his expression, but still pretended to be confused and shook his head: "I'm sorry."

I don't know what my husband is saying..." She hadn't finished speaking yet, Tong Tram Chau lost patience, threw her to the ground with one hand, her jade brooch flying everywhere. The next second, she heard Tong Tram Chau say one word: "Tra!" What to look for, she didn't need to say anything to understand. Bui Nhu Y wiped her tears, remembering that she had a son and a father who was a prime minister. No matter what Tong Tram Chau found out, she would stand in an undefeated position. Worst outcome. It's just that her husband has been cold to her for a few years. Last time, she was not afraid! But when the evidence was placed in front of Bui Nhu Y, she still couldn't help but step back. Tong Tram Chau's eyes were too scary. "Bui Nhu Y, you are the most deceitful and poisonous woman!" Tong Tram Chau only felt that her eyes were blind over the years, but she believed that Bui Nhu Y was a generous wife. Winter gave me black smoke In the summer, he gave me scraps of ice to marinate raw fish. He wrote down my father's expenses on my mother and I, and deliberately let Tong Tram Chau check the books, and scolded me for not keeping my duty as a concubine. Insinuating myself in front of everyone, I humiliated my son, making me a runaway slave... Bui Nhu Y tore up his testimony and spoke eloquently:
