Chapter 9 — Duong Mui Knelt Down to Pray for the Crown Prince's True Love, I Smiled and Gave Up the Marriage

Under the moonlight. Her whole body was in a white dress. Like a statue. Only thing. The statue's shoulders were shaking slightly. I don't know if it's because of the cold. Or because of anger. Thanh Hanh leaned closer. Small voice:

"Miss, she's still really kneeling. It's been two hours already."

I don't speak up. Thanh Hanh continued:

"What exactly does she want to do? Do you really think that just by kneeling a few times, Miss will soften her heart?"

I smiled softly.

“She doesn't have to kneel down for me to see.”

Thanh Hanh was stunned.

“So who is she kneeling for?”

I look at her.

“What do you think?”

Thanh Hanh bowed her head and thought for a moment. Suddenly awakened.

"She's kneeling for everyone in the palace to see! I want everyone to think that Miss is bullying her!"

I nodded slightly.

“Not only that.”

“There is still tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow, the news that she knelt all night will spread throughout the capital.”

“At that time, everyone will say how I, this woman, bullied an orphan.”

“Forcing her to kneel in front of the hospital gate to beg for forgiveness.”

Thanh Hanh's face immediately changed.

"So... what should we do? Miss, we can't let her get her way!"

I looked at the figure in a white dress outside the window. Under the moonlight. She bowed her head. Shoulders trembling slightly. That look. That attitude. Truly looks like a pitiful person being bullied by others. I withdrew my gaze.

“Just let her kneel.”

“Thanh Hanh.”

“Go tell the gatekeeper to open the big gate of the Marquis Palace.”

Thanh Hanh was stunned.

"Open the big gate? Miss, why?"

The corners of my lips curled slightly into a smile.

“If she wanted to let others see.”

“Then let everyone see clearly.”

“Look clearly at how she kneels.”

“Look clearly how long she was kneeling.”

“Let's take a closer look——”

I stopped a bit.

“Until tomorrow.”

“How will she get up?”

Thanh Hanh immediately went to work. Not long after. From the side of the palace gate came waves of movement. The grand gate of the Marquis Palace. Slowly expanding. She raised her head, looked towards the open gate of the Marquis Palace, her expression changed slightly. But very soon after that. She lowered her head again. Continue kneeling there. Only thing. Those shoulders trembled more intensely than before. Early morning the next day. I wake up. Wash your face and comb your hair. Change into another outfit. Then he raised his hand and pushed open the hospital door. On the horizon was the white light of dawn. Chung Linh Xu was still kneeling there. His face was pale. Lips are also purple. Just saw me walk out. She immediately raised her head. A layer of tears appeared in his eyes.

“Big sister…”

Her voice was hoarse. It sounded like I had been crying all night. I bowed my head to look at her.

“Did you kneel all night long?”

She nodded slightly. Tears fell little by little.

“Linh Xu... Linh Xu just hopes Big Sister will forgive me...”

I smiled.

“What are you talking about, sister?”

“Did you ever blame me?”

“Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground.”

I held out my hand. Pretending to want to help her up. Chung Linh Xu paused slightly. Maybe she didn't expect it either. I can be so generous. But very fast. She reacted. Feel free to hold my hand. Want Borrow strength to stand up. Right at the moment she stood up—— I let go. Her whole body immediately staggered. Then I lost my balance. Fall straight forward. A shrill scream rang out. Chung Linh Xu fell face down on the ground. Face straight down on the floor. Falling is extremely painful. The servants stood around. At the same time, they turned their heads to look. We take a step back. A look of surprise appeared on his face.

“Oh my, sister, why are you so careless?”

“Come here quickly, help Second Miss up!”

Two maids immediately ran over. Hastily helped Chung Linh Xu stand up. She raised her head. His face was covered in dirt all over. The tip of the nose is partially scratched. Blood was also leaking out. Extremely struggling appearance. She stared at me. His eyes were filled with hatred. That look. Hatred cannot immediately swallow me alive. I look at her. The smile at the corner of his lips became deeper and deeper. I lowered my voice. Just use a volume loud enough for the two of us to hear.

“Sister.”

“Last night I knelt all night.”

“Your legs are soft, aren't they?”

“Remember this carefully later.”

“Not everyone is worth kneeling down on.”
