Chapter 1 — A Sister doesn't get married, neither do I

The day Sister A broke up, I was in the yard chasing butterflies. Hearing that she had broken off her ridiculous engagement with that prince, I brushed off the mud from my hands, turned around and told the maid: "Go and smash the warm jade pendant that Little General Tieu brought over. We also break up." My stepmother scolded me for not being reasonable, saying that Tieu Liet was a meritorious servant with glorious achievements. I didn't even bother to raise my head: "But I don't care. I was raised by sister A." "Sister A didn't get married, neither did I. How in the world does it make sense for the youngest sister to get married first?"## 01 That very night, Tieu Liet rode a horse hundreds of miles back to the capital. Before he could even take off his armor, he climbed the wall directly into my bedroom. His eyes were bloodshot, his hands tightened around my waist, his voice hoarse: "Au Vi, that son of a bitch has blind eyes, he is not worthy of your sister. I came to sneak attack and beat him." "This general is sincere towards you, how can you say you don't need it?" His hard muscles forced me to wince in pain. I raised my hand and pushed his chest. "You hurt me." Tieu Liet's whole body stiffened. He frantically loosened his grip, but still hugged me, determined not to take a step back. People who are usually decisive and kill on the battlefield, but at this time, their eyes were filled with self-pity and impatience. "When the concubine abandoned the engagement, my personal soldiers stopped her in the middle of the road." Tieu Lie lowered his voice to coax me: "Auntie, you abandoned the engagement because Prince Binh Marquis Ta Canh Hoai is a bastard." "He brought back a cousin from Duong Chau. Before they got married, he asked to make her his wife. To Truong Ninh doesn't need him, which is a matter of course." "But I don't have a cousin, I don't even have a maid to share the room with. To Au Vi, you don't know how to speak sense." I raised my head, only to see the full affection in Tieu Liet's eyes. Tieu Liet has been domineering since childhood. At the age of nine, he followed his father to the battlefield, and at the age of eighteen, he was promoted to general. I don't know how many noble ladies in the capital were looking forward to seeing him one more time. However, after meeting me, he was like a piece of dog skin plaster, clinging to me day after day. "I don't know how to speak morality, and it's not a one-day thing." I calmly argued back: "In the winter when I was six years old, my step-mother punished me to kneel in the snow. It was sister A who used the whip to chase away those women and hugged me back to the palace." "She taught me to read books and gave me food to eat." "Now she's warm enough to eat." I became a laughing stock in the capital. If I happily married into the General's palace as the main wife, leaving her alone to be despised by others in this cannibalistic house, then what else am I? Tieu Liet was stopped by me. He angrily paced back and forth two times, finally angrily ruffling his hair. "Who dares to look down on you? Who dares to laugh at you?" Tieu Liet gritted his teeth: "That bastard Ta Canh Hoai had one leg broken by me. If there is anyone in the To family who dares to chew their tongue, I will come and take down the sign of the Minister's Palace!" "Au Vi is good, is that okay?" I shook my head, with a determined attitude: "No. Where are you going, sister A, I will go." "If she doesn't get married, I will stay with her for the rest of my life." Tieu Liet's face turned completely black. He stared at me, his chest heaving violently. After a while, he choked out a sentence: "To Au Vi, you are truly a white-eyed wolf without a conscience." After saying that, he turned around and quickly walked to the window, put one hand on the frame and jumped out. The night wind stirred his cloak. In just a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared into the night. The maid Xuan Dao stood next to her, trembling in fear: "Miss, General Tieu is angry, don't you need him anymore?" I walked away.

Go to the table, pour a cup of warm water and take a sip. "Leave him alone. Just wait, tomorrow morning he will still climb the wall to deliver Luu Ky dumplings in the east of the city." "Remember to leave a window slot for him." Xuan Dao half-believingly and half-expectedly went to check the window. I looked at the warm piece of jade pendant still intact on the table, and gently stroked it with my hand. Tieu Liet is very good. But in this world, only Sister A is the support that I absolutely cannot give up. Without sister A, To Au Vi would have frozen to death that winter night long ago. ## 02 The next morning, before the dumplings were delivered, the lobby was already in chaos. Ta Canh Hoai was placed on a stretcher and carried to the door. The marriage between him and Sister A was arranged by old Marquis Binh. Now that the old Marquis had just passed away, he could no longer wait. He immediately brought his cousin named So So back from Duong Chau and entered the palace with dignity. When I arrived at the lobby, my stepmother was sitting on the chair wiping her tears, looking extremely heartbroken. A sister To Truong Ninh wore an elegant blue dress, her back straight, coldly looking at Ta Canh Hoai lying on the ground. "Truong Ninh, I just want to give So So a title." Ta Canh Hoai, who is crippled in one leg, still tried to pretend to be sympathetic: "She has no one to rely on, besides me, she has nothing left. She is the eldest daughter of the To family, and will later be the matriarch of the house, how can she be jealous, unable to tolerate others like her?" So?" "She angrily broke up the engagement, damaging the reputation of the two families. Now even her younger sister has imitated and rebelled, demanding to annul the marriage with General Tieu." "Do you want to destroy the To family?" The other cousin Duong Chau also knelt beside her, crying until the pear blossoms were soaked in the rain: "Lady To, all the mistakes are all the fault of So So Even if it's just a maid, it's fine." "Please don't hurt the relationship between you and me because of So So."
