Chapter 8
Chapter 8 — Brother Wanted To Harm Me, I Gave Him A Gift
Even though he didn't mention his name, every word was like a dagger, hiding evil in sweetness, pointing straight but not calling names. But who would have thought— That very afternoon, Tong Chieu Da brought a blessing gift and solemnly walked through the main gate of the Giang family. I sat right in the hall, coldly watching him enter step by step - wearing a moon-colored long robe, his face calm as water.
“Snow Soak,”
He bowed slightly, his voice cold but serious,
“Tong came here today—to ask for marriage.”
Throughout the hall, the servants all inhaled the cold air. I leisurely put the tea cup on the table, smiling like I wasn't smiling:
“Sir Song, has he forgotten—
My brother's bones are not yet cold,
Your 'sister Thu Y' also recently passed away.
Yet you rushed here to propose to me?” He squinted, his gaze lowered, his fingers clenched so tightly that they dug deep into his palm.
“Where are you?”
I suddenly slapped the table, my momentum was as sharp as a knife:
“Quickly throw all that stuff out!”
The family immediately rushed in, took the silk, brocade, gold, silver and jewels that he brought, each and every item, and threw them all out the door. Tong Chieu Da stood still, his face pale, his fingers in his sleeves clenched until they turned white:
“Jiang Tuyet Ngam…
You… will regret it!” I smiled coldly, my eyes like ice:
“Tong Chieu Da,
Who do you think you are? An onion is not as good as it is, but you ask me to regret it for you?” Tong Chieu Da left Kim Lang and went to the capital to accept his position. A month later, Tan Tu Chuoc and I also leisurely set foot in the capital. When Princess Phuc Duong's investigation team returned, just arriving on the outskirts of the capital, the assassins suddenly rushed out from the jungle, sharp arrows breaking the wind and flying straight towards Loan's price! At that moment, Tan Tu Chuoc and I rode out, he swung his sword to cut down the arrow, and I pulled the princess aside, just in time to dodge the death blow! In his previous life, Tong Chieu Da used this exact trick to help Hong Co clean up her status as a gangster. I want him to swallow the bitter fruit he planted! On the assassin's body, a secret seal was found, the handwriting was identical to Tong Chieu Da's medal. personally put it in. The Emperor was furious and immediately issued an edict that shocked everyone! But when the officers and soldiers rushed into the Song Palace, there was only a cup of tea left in the room that was still warm—the person... was no longer there. Returning to the capital, I learned of Tan Tu Chuoc's true identity - he is the young son of the Tran Quoc General's palace, the grandson of the current Queen! It turned out that that year, he beat the third prince in the middle of the street, and his family immediately packed him up and sent him to Kim Lang to "avoid disaster"! Standing in front of the majestic gate of the general's palace, I tightened my sleeves, my heart in turmoil. What am I? A woman from a downtrodden family, what could be worthy of a noble family like him? Who would have thought that as soon as I sent in my business card, firecrackers exploded like a New Year in the palace! The old general ran out, waved his hand and clapped, causing Tan Tu Chuoc to stagger back a few steps:
"This brat! Finally managed to trick him into getting married?!"
Then he turned and smiled at me, his wrinkles beaming:
"Kid, don't be afraid. This evil beast is famous throughout the capital. As soon as a girl from a good family sees it, she quickly stays away!"
Lady Qin wiped her tears, put the jade bracelet into my hand and muttered:
“Buddha's blessing, this demon king is finally married I can go… oh no, finally someone is willing to marry her!”
At the tea house, the storyteller described in a booming voice:
"Seven-year-old Young Master Qin burned the National Tu Giam, ten years old beat the Hun envoy to tears, fifteen years old because of a brother, he broke three ribs of the third prince..."
Tan Tu Chuoc kicked over the tea table:
“Foolish! It's obvious that that beast played tricks on the women first!”
Customers in the restaurant panicked and fled like birds with broken nests. I lifted my head and finally understood: It wasn't that the Tan family criticized me for being unworthy... It was that besides me - no one dared to marry him! The royal family idled its plot to rebel, and fire and soldiers rushed to Dung Thanh. The Qin family only went out to fight, I also followed the army. In my previous life, Tong Chieu Da once took me with him to the battlefield. Before the night of the great victory, we were captured alive by the rebels. He drew the bow himself, an arrow pierced my heart.
“Jiang Tuyet Yin, as long as you are still alive, I will never be able to marry Miss Hong with ten miles of red clothes.”
