Chapter 4 — Chief Robber of Destiny

“Because he treats me well, I also have feelings for him.” Ta Lam's hand slowly slid off my shoulder. “You... have feelings for him?” I felt a moment of guilt. When I said that sentence, I simply wanted to clarify the limit with him. Now that he asked me again like that, my face suddenly became hot and red. I bowed my head and looked at my fingers tightly clasped together: "If you still don't go, I will call someone to see the guests off." At that moment, he left in a daze. Looking at his soulless back, I feel a little puzzled. Ta Lam, aren't you the one who loves your eldest sister? What's the point of doing that now?07After returning that day, Ta Lam smashed nearly half of the study room. He threw pens, ink, paper, and even scrolls of paintings on shelves to the ground. Debris flew across the room. He stood in the middle of the chaotic room, his chest heaving violently. Close your eyes, before your eyes is still Tham Ngu's face. His eyes were cold, his voice was calm. He went to the court and opened a book, but couldn't read a word. Her eyes fell on the page, but her mind was filled with the image of her just praising Trieu Kieu. The fingertips holding the book page gradually tightened. He also didn't know what was wrong with him. These past few days, Tham Ngu has always been on my mind, as if something was wrapped around me. That day, when he met her in the hallway, he mistakenly recognized her as the eldest lady of the Tham family. He could have just looked at her once and left, but he deliberately remembered her eyes when he looked up. Clean and clear, hiding a bit of panic and aloofness. At night, when he closed his eyes, he immediately saw her figure standing down the hallway. Raindrops tilted down between her eyebrows. The wind blew through her sleeve as she leaned away from him. … He thought over and over again, always feeling that in his previous life he had been married to her. It's just a kind of intuition. But why is she so cold towards him? He asked the servants in the palace. Everyone said that the second lady had a gentle personality and treated everyone kindly. Only when standing in front of him, that face is cold as if it wants to push people a thousand miles away. He thought for a long time, then suddenly came to a conclusion that made his heart twitch. Maybe she likes him. It's because he likes it that he intentionally acts cold. She was close to that cheeky guy Trieu Kieu, definitely wanting to make him jealous. Once that thought appeared, he could no longer suppress it. Ta Lam put down the book, a bit of pride appeared in his eyes. What a great trick, soft and tight ropes! He is the prince of An Binh Hau, but he is led by the nose by a young lady. He was a little angry. But underneath that anger, there was a secret hint of pride. Is that useless, rash Trieu Kieu worthy of competing with you? He laughed coldly, throwing the book on the table. If she was so exhausted, he wouldn't want to do what she wanted. Then just marry her eldest sister. It was already a pre-ordained marriage, with both names and words in agreement. He wanted to see if, after he married Tham Uyen, she could continue to pretend to be calm. He imagined her red eyes begging for him, the frustration in his heart suddenly disappeared. She will definitely come find him. At that time, she will know she was wrong.08After that day, Ta Lam suddenly became quiet. There was no news from him for seven or eight consecutive days. At first we were still cautious, then gradually felt reassured. Until one afternoon, my mother called me to the main courtyard: "The Marquis of An Binh Palace has officially come to ask for marriage, I heard that the prince likes Uyen Nhi very much." My hand holding the cup of tea stopped, my heart immediately felt relieved. That's the best. Mother

sighed: "The An Binh Marquis Palace is a hundred-year-old family, Mr. Ta is also a good man. But my sister..." "Yesterday my father got angry and quickly sent someone to Jiangnan to pick him up." I nodded: "But if the eldest sister refuses to return..." In my previous life, the eldest sister often wrote letters to me. She said that Jiangnan's scenery was very beautiful, and she loved that place very much. With her personality, if she hasn't played enough, she definitely won't come back. Mother slammed on the table: "A girl who hasn't gotten married yet, just because she doesn't like a word, leaves to go to Giang Nam. The whole palace has hidden and helped her for so long, and that's enough to give her enough dignity." "This time, even if I have to tie her up, I still have to tie her back!" I comforted my mother for a long time before slowly leaving. Long time no see elder sister. In this life, if she marries Ta Lam, she will definitely be happy.09The day my eldest sister was welcomed back to the capital, I was sitting under the window coloring the new kite that Trieu Kieu brought. Cinnabar mixed with water, spreading into a begonia flower on the silk surface. Ngoc Dao ran in in panic, saying that the eldest lady was causing chaos in the main courtyard. I put down my pen. When I ran over, I just happened to see this scene. The elder sister stood in the middle of the hall, her bun half undone. She held the corner of the table tightly, her face as white as paper.
