Chapter 8 — Duong Mui Knelt Down to Pray for the Crown Prince's True Love, I Smiled and Gave Up the Marriage

Immediately after that, her eyes turned red.

“If it doesn't cancel, it's good... If it doesn't cancel, it's good…”

She held my hand tightly. Chokingly said:

"Mother is just afraid that you will suddenly get angry and ruin your own future..."

I gently hugged her.

“Mother.”

“A girl knows moderation.”

On the way back to Marquis Palace. In the carriage. I leaned my back against the side of the car, gently closing my eyes to rest. The words the Queen had just said kept echoing in her ears.

"The matter of Chung Linh Xu, this palace will handle."

"As for Tan Nghiem, this palace will strictly teach you."

It seems like she is on our side. But I know—— Things won't be that simple. Chung Linh Xu is not an easy person to deal with. Tieu Tan Nghiem is also not someone who is easily placed under house arrest. This play. It's only just begun. The carriage stopped in front of the Marquis Palace gate. I just got out of the car. I saw Thanh Hanh with an impatient face rushing over.

"Miss! Miss!"

“Not good!”

I frowned slightly.

"What is up?"

Thanh Hanh lowered his voice:

“Second Miss came here just now, saying she had something to see.”

"The maid said you weren't in the palace, so tell her to wait a moment and then come back."

“But she…”

Thanh Hanh bit her lip, her face full of anger.

“She said she would kneel right in front of the door, waiting until you returned.”

"Also, if you refuse to meet her, she will kneel there forever, kneeling until you agree to meet her."

“Now she is kneeling right in front of our hospital gate!”

My eyebrows slightly raised. Kneel in front of the hospital gate? This move... It's really a bit new. We take a step. Slowly walk towards the backyard. From afar. Saw Chung Linh Xu kneeling right in front of my hospital gate. She is still wearing a simple white dress. There was only one silk flower in her hair. Under the moonlight. She looks strangely elegant and worldly. It makes people feel even more weak and pitiful. Behind her. The other two maids were still waiting. Around. There were quite a few servants gathered around to watch the excitement. Just saw me coming. Chung Linh Xu slowly raised her head. Under the moonlight. There were enough streaks of tears on her face, as if they had been calculated in advance. Her eyes were red. Lips trembled slightly.

“Big sister…”

She choked out a voice, then knelt down and took two steps forward, kneeling down in front of me.

“Big sister, Linh Xu please!”

“Please don't cancel the marriage!”

"Linh Xu is willing to be a buffalo and a horse for you, tell Linh Xu to do anything!"

"Please don't cancel the marriage, is that okay?"

I bowed my head to look at her. Under the moonlight. That face is as beautiful as a painting. The woman in the painting is weak and fragile. Poor. It also makes people unable to help but feel pity. But we know very well. Hidden under that face. How poisonous is a snake's heart? I smiled.

“Sister.” I said softly. “What are you doing?”

“Get up quickly.”

I held out my hand. Pretending to want to help her up. Just as I bent down—— I lowered my voice. Only use a volume at which both of us can hear.

“You just keep kneeling.”

“Kneel until morning.”

Chung Linh Xu's whole body immediately stiffened. She raised her head to look at me. His eyes were filled with disbelief. I straightened up. The smile still remained on his lips. Then turn around. Walk straight into the hospital. Behind the back. There was a cry that she tried to suppress. There were also whispers from the surrounding servants——

“Second Miss is so pitiful…”

“Young lady, why are you being so unreasonable…”

We still keep walking. Never stopped. The door behind him closed. The moonlight was also blocked outside. Thanh Hanh followed in. His face was full of joy.

"Miss! Miss! Did you see Second Miss's face? She's about to die of anger!"

I sat down in front of the dressing table. Quietly look at yourself in the bronze mirror.

“Just let her kneel.”

“Kneel until she herself stands up and leaves.”

“Tomorrow——”

I stopped a bit. The corners of his lips slowly curved up into a smile.

“There's still a good show left.”

It was late at night. Outside the window. The moonlight is as clear as water. I lie on the bed. But there was absolutely no sleepiness at all. Thanh Hanh stood guard outside the door. Every once in a while, I poke my head in to take a look.

“Miss, are you still not sleeping?”

“Can't sleep.”

I propped myself up and sat up. Put on an extra coat. Slowly walk to the window. Raise your hand to push the window open. Moonlight immediately flooded in. Covering the ground with a layer of cold silver light. Outside the hospital gate. Chung Linh Xu was still kneeling there.
