Chapter 4 — A Prophecy of the National Teacher, Making Me Wanted to Be Erased by the Whole Six Families

Luc Tuyet Nhu immediately woke up, her eyes lit up:

"Okay. I'll go. Thank you for reminding me."

The mother understood and quickly prepared gifts to thank Cong Trieu. I'm still hiding in the tree eavesdropping. In my heart I thought, this is the only chance for me to leave Luc Palace. I immediately jumped down from the tree and knelt before Cong Trieu:

“Your Highness, I also want to participate in selecting readers for the princess.”

Trieu Cong Cong looked doubtful. I glanced at my father. That was the first time I called him:

“Father, I am also your daughter, I can also participate in selecting readers.”

The mother standing next to her was immediately unhappy, her face full of reluctance:

“What are you doing running out here!”

“You are…?” Trieu Cong Cong asked with the sharp eyes of someone who was used to seeing through the innermost calculations.

Before I could open my mouth, my mother quickly interrupted:

"Dear Princess, her name is Luc Tham, she is the concubine of the Luc family. Because of her ugly appearance, she is afraid of dirtying the princess's eyes..."

“It's really a bit ugly.” Cong Trieu glanced at me and said nonchalantly, "That's it, if it's too ugly, the princess won't like it."

“Cong Cong.” I called someone over, then walked straight to the lake, bent down and used the lake water to wash my face. The scars on my face were actually cured by me long ago. The scars I have now are all fake.

After washing my face, I turned around and stood in front of Trieu Cong Cong:

“Engineer…”

Trieu Cong Cong carefully observed my clean face and laughed out loud:

"Lord Luc, your concubine is very interesting. Furthermore, she is not ugly at all. Three days later, let's come together to participate in the selection."

Since Cong Trieu said so, my father and the others did not dare to say anything more. Anyway, continuing to prevent it is no different than resisting. As soon as Zhao Cong Cong left, my father immediately called me into the hallway. That was the first time in fifteen years that I entered the Luc family's entrance.

“Kneel down!”

I knelt on the ground, the corner of my lips curled up into a smile. As soon as my mother walked in, she slapped me hard. The slap landed on my face, burning like fire.

"You slut! When did the scar on your face heal? How dare you lie to me all these years!"

I raised my eyes and looked at her, my voice calm:

"So, the scar on my face was originally given to me by you. Now you want to give me another one?"

“You—really look exactly like your slut!”

My father let my mother bully me, without saying a word, turned around and left. Indeed, I look a lot like you, especially after removing the scars on my face. In the past, my wife was a physician at Medicine King Valley. Later, just because of a medical book, Duoc Vuong Valley was completely destroyed in one night, only A Niang escaped. At that time, the Luc family was buying maidservants, so the lady immediately went to the palace to work. Over the years, she has never told even her father about these things. However, everything was recorded by the lady in that medical book.

“If I have the ability, people will beat me.” I looked straight at my mother and spoke slowly. "In three days, if Duke Zhao asks, I'm afraid I can only tell the truth."

The mother immediately fell silent. She did not dare to bet on the entire Luc family. Luc Tuyet Nhu grabbed my hair, gritted her teeth and said:

“Even if the scar on your face is gone, that's okay Star. Luc Tham, you just wait. It's best that you be chosen. Otherwise, when you return to the Luc family, I will definitely make your life worse than death!”

I don't care at all. The maids in the West Court were both happy for me and worried about me, afraid that if I didn't get accepted, the outcome would be even more miserable. I calmly reassured them:

“Don't worry. I will definitely be chosen.”

My father ordered someone to sew me a new outfit, so that from the outside looking in, I would look like a concubine. Those were the first new clothes I ever wore. Three days later, the carriage to the palace to pick us up arrived. I, Luc Tuyet Nhu and three other women sat in the same carriage and entered the palace. The remaining three women's status was not ordinary, but still could not compare to Luc Tuyet Nhu's predetermined status as Crown Princess. Choosing a reader, after all, is just to choose a woman from a noble family, preparing for future marriages.
