Chapter 2 — After Conceding the Marriage, I Became a Royal Concubine

Sure enough, Ky Duc stopped in the hallway and quickly said:

“Big lady, this has nothing to do with you.”

I suddenly felt tired. She wants to have it, and she also wants everyone to feel that someone else must give it to her. We pushed the door open. Ky Duc stood in the hallway. When he saw me coming out, his expression stiffened. I bow to him:

"Please rest assured, I will not regret it."

He frowned:

“Ah Like, I didn't mean that.”

I looked at him:

“So what do you mean?”

He couldn't answer. At this moment, I just looked at him, an awkward look appeared on Ky Duc's face. In the room, Ngu Nhu coughed, and sure enough, he immediately tilted his head. I don't stop anymore, I go straight out. In the yard, there was dust and rain. Ky Hoan stood under the porch, there was no servant next to him, nor was there anyone holding an umbrella. Seeing me coming, he took a half step back, giving me shelter from the rain. I stopped next to him:

“Did you hear that?”

“Heard a little bit.”

He is not pretending to be confused. I asked him:

“Regret it?”

Ky Hoan looked at the rain on the porch:

"If you regret it in the future, you can tell me first. At that time, I will not use today's words to force you."

This statement is very light. But like a clean sheet, gently covering my newly torn awkwardness. I rolled my eyes:

“I don't regret it.”

Ky Hoan turned to look at me for a moment.

“So I don't regret it.”

In the distance, Ky Duc was still standing by the door. He looked at me and Ky Hoan standing side by side under the porch, his eyes a bit dazed. Ngu Nhu also looked through the door. I don't turn back.

The two new marriage documents were quickly brought to the Ngu family. One part writes the names Ky Duc and Ngu Nhu. Partly wrote the names Ky Hoan and Ngu Kieu. Father looked at the second part, his eyebrows could not relax. Mother didn't even want to look, so she just called the manager to put it in the box. She flipped through the list of offerings, her voice cold:

“There's no need to make a big deal out of a wedding.”

I nodded:

“Everything is according to mother's wishes.”

She stopped, seemingly unfamiliar with my compliance. Before that, I will ask in a low voice, whether I can also prepare according to my wife's rules. Mother will sigh and say that your sister is still sick and the house cannot be too noisy. I immediately bowed my head. This time, I didn't ask anything. Mother waited for a while, and finally could only close the list of gifts.

“Ah Kieu, it's not that you don't love me.”

I looked at the gilded incense burner next to the table. Inside is burning the kind of incense that Ngu Nhu likes. My dowry list was placed next to the incense burner, the edges of the paper were slightly yellowed by the smoke. I said softly:

“Mother, go visit your elder sister.”

Her face stiffened. I bowed down. As soon as he reached the hallway, A Uy's eyes turned red and he stepped forward to greet him.

“Miss, how could you be like that?”

I close my sleeves:

“Stop talking.”

She stamped her feet impatiently:

“Why are you still holding back?”

I stop walking:

“There is no need to hold back.”

A Uy was stunned. I look towards the West courtyard. This time, I just don't want to waste my energy on them anymore. Before the wedding day, Ky Hoan came to give the bride price once. Several chests of fabrics, two pairs of silver bracelets, a screen, and an elongated wooden box. Lady Ky did not come. Ky Duc also did not come. Ky Hoan personally handed over the list of gifts to the manager, his expression calm as if he didn't notice the eyes looking around the yard. Initial mother does not want to meet. But when Ngu Nhu heard that Ky Hoan was coming, she suddenly said she wanted to go out to the hallway to get some air. Her mother immediately helped her over. Ngu Nhu put on a white coat, her eyes fell on that wooden box.

“What did the Second Young Master give you?”

Ky Hoan looked at me:

“An army of soldiers.”

The mother frowned:

“If a daughter is married, why would she give these things?”

Ky Hoan bowed his head and bowed:

“If the second lady doesn't like it, just take it away.”

He didn't explain. Also don't say pleasing words in front of everyone. But we know the background of that book. In his previous life, Ky Hoan was at the border camp and thanks to reading the military book, he was promoted by the general. That was the first step to truly change his destiny. Now he brought it to me as a gift. Not to please. It's about placing part of your own retreat before me. I reached out my hand to receive the wooden box:

“I like it.”

Ngu Nhu's expression changed slightly. Perhaps she did not expect that I would openly say that I liked the item Ky Hoan brought. Ky Hoan's eyes also briefly paused. After that, he bowed to me:

“That's good.”

That day Ky Duc arrived very late. When he arrived at the Ngu family, Ky Hoan was preparing to leave. The two brothers met in front of the screen wall. Ky Duc saw that the wooden box in his hand was empty, his expression was a bit complicated.

“Ah Hoan, I also have feelings.”

Ky Hoan calmly replied:

“That's what it should be.”

As soon as these three words fell, Ky Duc's face became a little more unsightly. I stood in the hallway and suddenly remembered the past. Ky Duc was also very kind. It's just that his heart can be for me, it can also be for Ngu Nhu. Ky Hoan is different. What he gave was not much. But everything falls into place.
