Chapter 1 — Chief Robber of Destiny

The older sister insisted that I wear her old clothes again and go see her fiance in her place. "I've only been married for two years, I still haven't had enough fun!" "You just go see me first, then find a reason to break up." Having said that, she went with her childhood friend to Jiangnan for a spring vacation. As for me, I unfortunately fell into the water, my clothes were soaked, and was saved by my future husband-in-law. My reputation is gone, I can only marry you. Elder sister stayed in Jiangnan for three years. When she returned, she had just met my husband and was in love with her. The elder sister blamed me: "You were the one who stole my husband!" The husband also blamed me: "That year she fell into the water, she must have deliberately seduced me." I could not explain clearly, but was instead taken by the crown prince to a remote temple, freezing to death. No one knew at that time that I had been dead for three months. After coming back to life, I proactively returned the old clothes to the elder sister: "Yesterday I twisted my leg and couldn't help you."01When I opened my eyes again, there was spring rain falling outside the window. The eldest sister's maid stood outside the curtain, holding up the old sea red outfit with both hands. "Second miss is awake? Eldest miss said that today she has an appointment to go on a spring trip with someone else, told her to wear the eldest miss's clothes, and change to come to the meeting." I stared at that old outfit, my breathing suddenly became rapid. In my previous life, I wore it myself when I went to meet Prince An Binh Hau, Ta Lam, on her behalf. The elder sister was fond of playing, calling friends every day, riding horses around the city. She likes freedom and hates helping her husband teach their children the most. Therefore, towards the marriage partner that her father and mother found with great difficulty, she always expressed disdain. He even refused to meet people time and time again. It wasn't until her father and mother scolded her that she thought of asking me to go instead. In my previous life, I also did not agree and immediately refused. But she brought the clothes herself. "I've only been married for two years, I haven't played enough yet!" "You just go and see him first for me, then find a reason to break up the kiss." Having said that, she threw down her clothes and left. I sighed. The elder sister's work has always been the same. Free, arbitrary, unruly. Only care about whether you are happy or not. Because I remembered that when I was young, she took the beating for me, I still went. As a result, that action ruined my whole life. In this life, I decided not to interfere with my eldest sister's fate anymore. "Go tell your sister, just say that yesterday I twisted my leg in the garden, the doctor told me to rest for seven days, I can't get out of bed." Xuan Lan was stunned: "But the eldest lady said today is a very important day..." I leaned on the jade pillow, smiling. "If it is an extremely important day, why did you let me go instead?" "Father and mother had a hard time finding a match." "This is for you. No matter what, you should come and see for yourself." The curtains were lifted, and sister Tham Uyen was standing at the door. 02 Today she deliberately put on makeup, her eyebrows were lipsticked, and her eyes were bright and seductive. Of course, she didn't bother dressing up for the sake of An Binh Hau. It's because of that male childhood friend. In his previous life, his eldest sister went to Jiangnan for a spring vacation with him and did not return for three years. Hearing me say that, a thin layer of impatience appeared in her eyes. "A Ngu, what do you mean by that?" "It's just a twisted leg, it's not a broken leg. Ask the maid to help you along. The prince is still waiting on the other side, can't let people come in vain." Since childhood, she has had such a temperament, wanting others to follow her in everything. I am the younger sister, and I must always be ready to let her command me. Reliving my life again, I don't want to continue to be called by others when I come, or when they chase me away. "Sister,

You already knew that there was someone waiting there, so why didn't you go?" Tham Uyen's eyebrows immediately frowned: "Ah Ngu, what kind of drink did you drink today?!" "I'm the eldest sister, you're the younger sister. I asked you to do something for me, but you refuse again and again?" "This is not a normal thing." I said softly: "It's the eldest sister's wedding, of course it must be attended by the eldest sister herself. I'll replace you, if something unfortunate happens, the person whose reputation will be ruined will be me." "Furthermore, you and a man went on a boat trip to see the scenery in Giang Nam, and left your sister to wear your old clothes and live in a separate room with a strange man. If this story spreads out, how will others view us two sisters?" Tham Uyen's face immediately turned pale. "Tham Ngu... Are you crazy? How dare you talk to me like that?" I sighed. "Sister, when you were fourteen years old, because you wanted to play cricket with someone else, you forced me to go instead of you to the flower viewing party." "When you were fifteen years old, because you hated ink getting your hands dirty, you forced me to copy notes every day for you." "Now, because you wanted to go with that scholar to Jiangnan for a spring vacation, you forced me to go instead of you to meet the matchmaker." I looked at her and said each word clearly: "I have helped you with too many things." then. I'm tired." Tham Uyen's lips trembled, and finally angrily turned around and left. "Second Miss." The maid secretly lifted the curtain and walked in. "Just now, the eldest lady told someone to give an envelope to Prince An Binh Hau. I heard that the prince quickly left after reading the letter." "Go ahead." I closed my eyes. "Go find medicine for me." "Medicine?" "Medicine to treat a twisted leg." I tilted my head to look at her. "I said I twisted my leg, anyway, I have to make it look a little more real." The maid was taken aback, then suddenly curled her eyes and smiled: "Yes, I'll go now." I just didn't expect it. That afternoon. Then, I met Ta Lam in my palace again. The moment the curtains were lifted, I saw him standing in the hallway, wearing a green bamboo robe, holding a small porcelain vase in his hand, his face as gentle and dignified as an orchid The freezing snow immediately came back. In my previous life, I wore a hat to cover my face and went to the appointment to drink tea with him. As a result, on the way back, I fell into the water. In an emergency, Ta Lam pulled me up. My whole body was soaked, I curled up in his arms, trembling and confessing: "I'm not the eldest sister, I'm second lady Tham Ngu." He leaned close to my ear and smiled, saying, "If she doesn't come, I don't need her anymore." "I see that the second lady of the Tham family is also a very good girl." Just like that, you and I got married. After the eldest sister went to her grandmother's house in Giang Nam, she only sent a letter back saying that she did not want to get married, telling him to cancel the engagement with the prince. She wanted to live in Giang Nam for a few more years. Her father and mother followed her wishes When we got married, Ta Lam treated me extremely well. In the first half of the year after marrying into the palace, every morning when I opened my eyes, he was sitting by the bed. Waiting for me to sit up, he would draw my eyebrows himself. I smiled and went to research the things that my daughter liked, and he took out a precious eyebrow pencil from behind. "What a shame it would be for a servant to break a good thing from Nam Duong?" to the sky: "A Ngu is inherently beautiful, no matter how he paints." Even when he comes back from out, he often hides things in his sleeve. Sometimes a package of cinnamon flowers has just come out of the oven, sometimes a white apricot branch is brought back to me. One time in the middle of the night,

I cough very violently. He immediately got out of bed, put on only a thin layer of clothing, and went to the small kitchen to cook ginger soup... Those days were so good that later, when I huddled and shivered in the cold temple, I still couldn't understand. Why did such a nice person turn into a completely different person after meeting the elder sister? The day the elder sister returned from Jiangnan, there was a light rain. She was holding an oil paper umbrella and just happened to see Ta Lam walking out of the study room. The two of them were down a hallway and saw each other. The elder sister's sideburns had a branch of white jade orchid that still had rainwater left on it. Ta Lam was stunned on the spot, he didn't even notice the scent bag falling. After that day, his whole body seemed to be possessed by something. The gentleness disappeared, only madness remained between his eyes and eyebrows. He went to the elder sister's hospital even more diligently than when he went home. And when he faced me, his whole body was as cold as frost. I asked him why he often came to look for his eldest sister, and he coldly glanced at me: "Do you still have the face to ask me?" "That year you fell into the water, intentionally seducing me, right?" "I didn't expect you to have feelings for your future brother-in-law, forcing Uyen Nhi to leave all the way to Giang Nam!" It turned out that in the minds of the two of them, things were like that. I said no, you don't believe it. If I don't explain, he thinks I'm unreasonable. After that, the elder sister became pregnant. Of course, the child is his. Before the two of them could figure out what to do, they secretly became pregnant. Just when I was infected with wind and cold, he took me to a temple outside the city. He said the place was peaceful and suitable for convalescence. Life in the temple is extremely miserable. Besides a little maid, no one came to visit me, nor did anyone bring coal. I wrapped myself in a thin blanket, huddled in the corner, watching the snow in the yard get thicker and thicker. Only when we die do we realize that we also have a child in our belly. It's just that she's so young, so small that I've never even noticed her. Before I froze to death, I thought: If I could live again, I would absolutely not go to the appointment for anyone else. … Those images came too quickly. I staggered a step, turned around and was about to leave. Not knowing what was caught under my feet, my body tilted to one side, my whole body falling forward. "Be careful!" A steady hand supported my arm. I raised my head, just in time to face Ta Lam's face right in front of my eyes. His eyes are still so gentle. Even the attractive red mole at the corner of her eye is no different from her previous life. He helped me stand firmly, then took a half step back, bringing the small porcelain vase in front of me. "I heard that the eldest lady sprained her leg, so I specially brought some healing medicine." I was stunned: "Eldest lady?" He looked at me, his eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Didn't the eldest lady send someone to deliver a letter to me, saying that her leg was twisted and that's why she couldn't come to the appointment?" Good, I hope you don't criticize me." There were beads of sweat on his forehead. Surely, as soon as he received the letter, he immediately went looking for medicine, then rushed here. We quickly understood. The elder sister lied. She didn't want to meet Ta Lam, so she wrote a letter saying she had injured her leg and couldn't come to the appointment. Ta Lam cared about her, so he went to the palace to visit. As a result, I accidentally met you. He also mistakenly recognized me as the eldest sister. 04 I took a half step back. "Your Highness has recognized the wrong person." "I am the second young lady of the Tham family, Tham Ngu, not the eldest sister." He was stunned for a moment, his eyes stopped on my face. I leaned away to avoid it. After walking a very long distance, down the hallway, he heard his soft voice asking:
