Chapter 4 — Changing the Bride and Marrying the Palace

"So, you can leave this place, Tieu Man also has a mother." "After you marry me, I will give you money every month, as if I hired you." "Our status as husband and wife is limited to that." After hearing Manh Han's words, my face was filled with disbelief. But he really did the right thing. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have really agreed to the bride price the mother-in-law requested. Later, when he clearly knew the true face of the uncle's family, he came forward to reclaim my dowry, then handed it back to me without missing anything. On the day of marriage, all the necessary rituals are not lacking. After getting married, Manh Han treated me extremely well. He reserved the best hospital in the palace for me. Normally, other than when he visited Tieu Man, he never bothered me. The amount of silver he gives me every month is not small. 13 Wanting to feel Manh Han's feelings is not difficult. He always remembers everything related to me. Even my hobbies that Tieu Man accidentally mentioned in everyday life, Manh Han remembers very clearly. For example, every time I take Tieu Man out to town, I often take her to eat red apple cake. Tieu Man said she really likes to eat, and I like it too. After that, in the government's breakfast, red apple cake occasionally appeared. During the first month I married into Manh Palace, the jewelry and clothes Manh Han sent were of all kinds of designs. We only choose a few dishes. But from the second month onwards, most of the things that were brought were pearl jewelry and my favorite Military Color dresses. That's when I remembered, initially I chose a pearl brooch, a pair of pearl earrings and some light colored clothes. Among them, the Military Color dress is the one we wear the most. When I'm bored in the palace, I often sew clothes for Tieu Man. One time, Tieu Man asked: "Le Van's mother next door often sews clothes for her father, why has she never made clothes for him?" I was so speechless that I didn't know how to answer. Anyway, Manh Han and I have always not interfered in each other's lives. Wanting to measure the person who made his clothes was too intimate. "Father is afraid of making mother tired. You're still young, you don't understand." Manh Han suddenly appeared and picked up Tieu Man. Tieu Man frowned like an old lady. "Then you don't need your mother to sew anymore. You're grown up now, you have to understand things." Manh Han and I were both made fun of by her. But Tieu Man was serious and refused to let me make clothes for him anymore. I have no other choice but to be lucky for Manh Han. When our fingertips touched Manh Han's body, we could clearly feel his body stiffen. Even breathing stopped, as if afraid that the slightest movement would cause me to run away in panic. When we got closer, we could hear his heart beating wildly. In the corner of my eye, I saw that the skin of his neck exposed outside his collar was red. He didn't dare look at me, so he didn't know I was secretly looking at him. 14 "Making clothes for me is too much trouble for you." "You just need to pretend to sew a few stitches, leave the rest to the tailor shop." Manh Han's voice rang out, his eyes cautiously looked down. "I'm also idle in the palace, I don't mind." Manh Han still wanted to say something, but I held him back. "If you still move, the measurements will not be accurate." As soon as I finished speaking, he immediately straightened his back, his body even more stiff than before. I went behind him to measure his back. I couldn't help but bow my head and secretly smile. Manh Han's clothes were easier to make than Tieu Man's clothes. After all, children will still grow up, if they fit them well they won't be able to wear them for long, if they're too loose they won't fit properly. The day he finished, Manh Han held the clothes in his hand and laughed until he couldn't stop

mouth. After putting it on, he couldn't bear to take it off. During that month, he kept changing those clothes over and over again. Even Tieu Man could see that he liked him very much. "Mother, it seems that what you said you didn't want to make people tired was a lie." "Father only wears the clothes that mother made for you. In the future, mother will be very tired." As soon as these words were said, the maid and the wife around them all burst into laughter. Whenever he has free time, Manh Han will follow me and Tieu Man to the street. He rarely spoke and never complained. If Tieu Man is tired, he will carry her, if she buys things, he will carry them. But later I often asked him to take us two female models to the suburbs to ride horses and watch the moon. Because he is too enthusiastic. If I just look at an item twice more, he will buy it back. No matter what I advise, it won't work. 15Loving Manh Han is an extremely easy thing. He is like a teenager who has just learned to love, offering his whole heart to me. No matter how cold a person is, he will melt them. But I clearly understand that the relationship between me and Manh Han is built on lies. It's like a paper boat, unable to withstand the waves. Two months ago, I took Tieu Man out to town. The lady who owns the cooked food store we often go to accidentally mentioned who Tieu Man resembles. "Tieu Man probably looks like your husband." "She doesn't look like you at all."
