Chapter 3 — A Sister doesn't get married, neither do I

To establish prestige, she arbitrarily found a reason and punished me to kneel in the cold winter sky. At that time, Sister A was only ten years old. She held a small whip and stood in the snow, beating the women until they held their heads and ran away. After that, she hugged my frozen body and kept it warm all night long. From that day, we knew that To Truong Ninh was To Au Vi's only relative in this world. As soon as the words ended, a heavy cold hum suddenly rang out on the courtyard wall. Tieu Liet was sitting on top of the wall, carrying two boxes of food in his hands, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. "To Au Vi, who are you calling a ghost?" He jumped down, strode to the stone table, and placed the food box down firmly. "I, Tieu Liet, say no. When have I ever lied to you?" I shrank my neck and hid behind sister A. Sister A raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile: "General Tieu climbed the wall in the middle of the night and entered the courtyard of our two lonely women. Is this also the same rule?" Tieu Liet was arrogant and domineering on the outside. But standing in front of Sister A, he couldn't help but calm down. Anyway, you know that if you want to marry me, you must first pass Sister A's barrier. He coughed, tried to force his voice to soften, then clasped his hands in greeting: "Eldest sister, I came to bring you late night food." "It's Ly Ky street roasted chicken, Au Vi's favorite dish." Sister didn't say anything, just looked at me. Tieu Liet immediately earnestly stepped in front of me, like a big dog begging for food, and lowered his voice to accuse: "For the past two days, I've been detained by things at the Ministry of Infantry. As soon as I returned to the palace, I heard that you were moving out." "You didn't even tell me that you moved house." "If it weren't for my soldiers with many eyes and ears, I wouldn't even know where to go to find you." The more he talked, the more he felt sorry for himself. The tall figure bent down and reached out to gently pull my sleeve. "I have burned the concubine I broke up with." "Don't leave me, okay?" I looked at the faint dark circles under Tieu Liet's eyes, my heart softening slightly. Just as I was about to speak, there was suddenly a steady knocking sound outside the main gate. Xuan Dao ran to open the door. Not long after, she led someone in. The person who came was wearing a white robe. Under the moonlight, he looked extremely elegant and worldly, but somehow it made me feel that he was secretly showing off. This Ta Hanh guy can't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here? ## 04 Seeing Ta Hanh, Tieu Liet's face immediately became extremely strange, his whole body stood up straight. "Master's father was not at the cabinet handling public affairs in the middle of the night, why did he come here?" The corners of his lips curled up slightly. "I heard that Miss To moved to a new house, and Ta Mo specially came to congratulate." The young master stood behind and offered a delicate brocade box. "Just a little courtesy, I hope Miss To won't mind." Sister A stood up, her face calm and unmoved: "Your Majesty is polite. Truong Ninh does not dare to accept." Two men leaned forward, one sitting on the wall jumped down, the other in a dignified way. main main knocking on the door in the middle of the night. The two of them make our small monastery cramped. Ta Hanh and Tieu Liet stood on both sides of the yard, looking exactly like two gods. Tieu Liet glared at Ta Hanh. Ta Hanh looked at sister A. Sister A bowed her head to drink tea. As for me, sitting in the middle, I somehow felt that this situation was more interesting than the cup of tea I spilled on Ta Canh Hoai the previous morning. "Your master's father came to visit late at night, I'm afraid it's not just to give you a new home gift?" A sister put down the tea cup and calmly looked at Ta Hanh. Ta Hanh smiled slightly. That smile under the moonlight was extremely gentle and harmless, but for some reason, I always felt that in this person's belly there were 1800 eyes hidden. "Miss To is really clear-headed." Ta Hanh did not beat around the bush.

He took out a gilded invitation card from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands: "Three days later, the Queen Mother will hold a chrysanthemum reward banquet in the palace." "Thank you especially for coming to give the invitation to Miss To." Sister A did not accept, just raised her eyebrows: "I am a woman who has just annulled my marriage to the Marquis of Binh. Going to the Queen Mother's chrysanthemum reward banquet, do you think there is not enough gossip in the capital?" Go." Ta Hanh's voice was neither high nor low, but carried a certainty that made others unable to doubt. "If Miss To hides in the yard and refuses to come out, it will make people believe that those rumors are true." "Let them see, after annulling the marriage with the Marquis of Binh, To Truong Ninh is still living better than before." As he said these words, his eyes were always locked firmly on Sister A's face. I see very clearly. In those eyes there was a heat that was almost like enjoyment. Tieu Liet stood next to him, pouting, leaning close to my ear and muttering softly: "Usually at court, just one look from Ta Hanh can make people freeze." "Today he talks so much, there must be a ghost." I stepped on his foot, signaling him to shut up. Sister A pondered for a moment and then reached out to receive the invitation. "Then thank you, Master." A smile flashed quickly in Ta Hanh's eyes. He clasped his hands in farewell. Before leaving, his eyes glanced at me, paused slightly, his voice was gentle: "The second lady will go too. The Queen Mother likes the most excitement." After he left, Tieu Liet immediately bristled and walked around me. "What does he mean?" "Why did you invite your sister to participate in the chrysanthemum feast?" "The Marquis of Binh Palace has just been divorced. As the person in charge of the Binh Marquis Palace, shouldn't he avoid suspicion?" "This old fox is planning something." What?" I was stunned by him, raised my hand to hold his arm. "You asked me, who should I ask?" "But there's one thing you're right about." "What point?" "The way that old fox looked at Sister A was truly unusual." Tieu Liet's expression immediately became extremely complicated.
