Chapter 4 — Champion Flower Queen
Seeing the above content, he widened his eyes and asked unwillingly:
“Is that all?”
I nodded and calmly drank my tea.
“Mother and son are at heart.”
“Same goes for hens.”
“Once the chick is threatened, the hen can unleash a fighting power many times stronger than usual.”
“Adding my unique massage technique, combat power can be tripled.”
“This is the most important factor to win.”
“It's impossible to lack even one thing.”
09 My ex-fiance Giang Tuan came to the door looking for me. While I was preparing for the cockfight, he became friends with Lam Lo. Now, the two families are negotiating their marriage, and he adds another condition. That's accepting me as your concubine.
"Even though she won against Liu Ngu and earned a large amount of money thanks to the bet, her reputation was almost completely destroyed."
"The noble families all criticize her for showing off and like to show off."
“Only I don't hate her.”
“Since I have such sincerity, you should know enough.”
Giang Tuan's behavior that goes in every direction, no one can endure. Mother immediately refused. But Giang Tuan still refused to give up, and said a cruel sentence to his second uncle:
"If Lam Tuyet does not enter the door together, this marriage will not be successful."
The second aunt and Lam Lo could not bear to give up the wealth of the Giang family, so they immediately cried and rioted, wanting to force me to become Giang Tuan's concubine. Lam Lo also said:
“If Fourth Sister agrees to be Jiang Jun's concubine, I am willing to give you two parts out of ten parts of the dowry.”
I was so annoyed that I burst out laughing.
“Are all the men in the world dead?”
“Is Giang Tuan alone left?”
Lam Lo bit his lip, a look of shame and guilt appeared on his face. In the end, she decided to become a scoundrel.
"I don't need to know. If you don't want to get married, you have to get married."
The second uncle is working as an official outside. Even though he was not a high official, he was still one of the pillars of the family. Compared to my father who can't do anything, plus the fact that my uncle always favors the second room, the second room really has the ability to coerce me. Great uncle said directly to mother:
“I know you love your daughter.”
“But brother Lam is also my flesh and blood.”
"For brother Lam's future, how about the fourth girl sacrifice a little?"
"Moreover, with the protection of the Third Girl, the Fourth Girl marrying into the Giang family will only enjoy the blessings and will absolutely not bear half of the resentment."
Under her mother's pillow there is a ten-year-old brother who will later take the path of academics. His studies and exams all need support. If the main room limits money and the second room secretly causes difficulties, the senior and younger brother's path to examination will certainly be extremely difficult. Sure enough, mother began to hesitate. I sighed softly. Originally, I didn't want to create more harm. But you guys keep forcing me. Then don't blame me. 10 Before I could act, something happened to the great uncle. He holds the position of Right Young Khanh Thai Boc Tu. As the crown prince of the earl's palace, he always felt that this official who had to interact with horses all day did not have enough dignity, so he did his work extremely sloppily. As a result, most of the horses in his charge fell ill. When the authorities were looking for responsibility, the great uncle was the first person to be arrested and sent to prison. For the entire Lam family, this is like the sky is falling. The great aunt ran everywhere looking for connections, and finally came to the Giang family. The Giang family offers the following conditions:
"Let Lam Tuyet be the concubine, and bring a dowry of thirty thousand taels. Otherwise, there's no need to discuss it anymore."
Thirty thousand taels. Just the amount of money I won in the cockfight, plus the money I earned from the playboys. The great aunt held a towel and cried until she couldn't breathe.
“Fourth girl, usually my aunt treats you well, right?”
"When you were young and had a fever, I called the doctor in at midnight."
"I also added silver to the brooch in your wedding ceremony..."
"Now that your uncle is in trouble, the family can only rely on you."
"The Giang family said that as long as you agree to marry Giang Tuan as a concubine, they will immediately help..."
I kept my face quiet and didn't speak. The uncle's voice rose a few parts higher.
"Although Second Master Giang cannot inherit the title of National Duke Palace, his family legacy still exists."
“Even if I become a concubine, I will not suffer any loss.”
“Besides, my reputation is no longer good.”
The father sitting next to him cleared his throat.
“Sung Quoc Cong is quite respected by the saints.”
“Being Giang Nhi's concubine is a bit of a disadvantage for me, but…”
He looked at his aunt, his voice carrying a reminder.
"Your great uncle said, as long as you nod, the public will divide two of the ten parts of the inheritance to the three families."
“Our lives will be more comfortable in the future.”
The mother-in-law softened her voice and said:
“Fourth girl, grandmother does not force you.”
“If you nod, I will take your own dowry and prepare a generous dowry for you.”
"Make sure you can still hold your head high when you enter the Giang family's house."
The great-grandmother is much more skilled than the great-grandmother. She doesn't put pressure. She only offers benefits. But a soft knife cuts meat more painfully than a hard knife. My brother and sister-in-law want to protect me. But they still have to rely on honesty to live, and have long been accustomed to seeing the faces of the generals. At this point, the only thing they can do is try to give me an extra dowry. Everyone thinks that sacrificing a lady like me to save the great uncle, the breadwinner of the family, is extremely worthwhile. Very good. Everyone only knows how to make me die, right? I said:
"The great uncle doesn't know how to raise horses, so in that position he doesn't fulfill his duties."
“What happened now is because he did it himself.”
The scarf in the uncle's hand stopped in mid-air.
“The disaster was caused by him.”
I laughed sarcastically.
"Now I want to use the second half of my woman's life to fill the hole."
“Don't you feel embarrassed?”
An awkward look appeared on the aunt's face, she tightened her handkerchief.
"We're all family. Shouldn't we help each other?"
“When I was forced by Liu Wu to become a concubine, why didn't my family help me?”
I laughed coldly.
“Why do you keep putting your hopes on the juniors?”
“Where's the face?”
“Do you need more?”
I look around at everyone.
“If something goes wrong, I can only drag innocent people out to fill the hole.”
"Why don't you think about ways to correct mistakes and reduce losses?"
"Repair?"
The great uncle asked blankly:
“How to fix it?”
I stood up and told everyone:
“If you cure the sick horses raised by your great uncle, won't the matter be resolved?”
11 After a bit of persuasion, everyone reluctantly agreed to let me go to Thai Boc to try it myself. The great uncle's eldest son, Lam Te, personally took me to Thai Bo temple. On the way, he asked me more than once:
“Fourth sister, can you really fix horses?”
“Think of it as turning a dead horse into a living horse.”
I replied:
“If it can't be cured, your parents will only be detained for a few more days at most.”
“If cured, perhaps I can still get credit for my sins.”
Lam Te's face changed several times. In the end, he still gritted his teeth and let me try.
