Chapter 3 — Forced Kiss

"This bracelet was originally something the Tham family left for the elders. Yesterday A Nghien was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night, Van Duong guarded the soup in the middle of the night. People's hearts are flesh and blood, I saw that this child understood things, so today I gave him a reward in advance." The surrounding area was quiet for a moment. Lam Van Duong seemed threatened and quickly refused: "Uncle, this is not appropriate. Miss Tong is still here." Mrs. Tham held her hand and put on the bracelet. "What's wrong with the Tham family's things? I'll give them to whoever I want." She turned to look at me: "Minh Ninh, you come from the Marquis, you don't lack this bracelet. Van Duong is not like you, she followed us for many years, had no name or status and suffered a lot of resentment. From now on, you must learn to be more generous." I looked at the bracelet on Lam Van Duong's wrist. Before the bride price was paid, the Tham family dared to put the elder's bracelet on someone else's hand. This is publicly slapping me in the face. Tan Tran was so angry that she wanted to rush out. I stopped her. "Mrs. Shen, this bracelet is on the bride price list." Mrs. Shen leisurely said: "The bride gift is brought to the Marquis Palace, which means it's for you. Now that you haven't passed through the door yet, I'll share a part for you, also to prevent you from not knowing how to be a human being in the future." I asked: "Are you sure Mrs. Shen wants to divide?" "Sure." "Won't you give me an explanation?" Mrs. Shen put on a mother-in-law look: "If you cause trouble because of a bracelet, spreading it out will only make people see that the Marquis' Palace cannot teach their daughter." Lam Van Duong said in a low voice: "If Miss Tong likes it, I can return it to you. It's just that this is my aunt's heart, I don't dare not accept it." I looked at her. "You keep wearing it." Lam Van Duong raised her head, her eyes filled with joy that she couldn't hide. I continued: "Wear it securely. Don't turn around and drop it and say I pushed it." Her face stiffened. Tham Nghien frowned: "Tong Minh Ninh, can you stop talking so harshly?" "Impossible." I turned around and went into the palace. Mrs. Tham called me back: "Where are you going?" "Aren't you going to see the flowers? I'm already here, I can't bear this anger in vain." Tan Tran lowered his voice and asked me: "Are you really going in? They clearly want to torture you." I patted the back of her hand. "You also have to have skill in torturing." The flower hall of the Tham residence was already full of people. As soon as I walked in, a few eyes stabbed at me. Some people looked at my outfit, some people looked at the jade bracelet on Lam Van Duong's wrist, and some people looked at the red stain on Tham Nghien's face that had not yet disappeared. A round-faced lady smiled teasingly: "Mrs. Shen is truly blessed, one is the pampered young lady of the Marquis Palace, the other is a gentle lady who grew up in the house, and later on the palace will be bustling." Mrs. Tham said: "I also hope that you two will get along. It's just that Minh Ninh is used to being pampered at home. His temperament is a bit older, and he still needs to be taught slowly." I sat down at the end of the table. Xuan Dao said angrily: "They actually arranged the lady to sit at the end of the table." We pick up the tea, smell it a bit, then put it back. Cold tea. Tan Tran directly placed the cup on the table. "Mrs. Shen, do you serve cold tea to guests?" Mrs. Shen looked at Mother Hua. Mother Hua immediately said: "The maid is busy, perhaps negligent. Miss Tong is generous, she probably won't worry about it for a cup of tea." Tan Tran scolded: "You Shen family really opened your eyes. The bracelet told her not to worry, the cold tea also told her not to worry, the next step is to push her into the well and say she came from a Marquis residence, not missing a breath?" Someone in the flower hall burst out laughing, then quickly held it back. Mrs. Tham's face sank. "Miss Qin, today is the Tham family's banquet." Tan Tran patted the table: "I know, otherwise I would still

I thought I had mistakenly entered some bandit den.” Lam Van Duong quickly held the cup of hot tea in front of her and walked to my side. "Miss Tong, this cup of mine is still hot, please drink mine." I don't accept it. She stood in place, feeling angry as if she had been punished. "Are you criticizing me?" "Yes." Her hand shook, tea spilled out, splashing onto her skirt. Tham Nghien immediately stood up: "Van Duong!" Lam Van Duong quickly shook his head: "Brother A Nghien, it's okay, I was not careful." Tham Nghien glared at me: "Tong Minh Ninh, she was kind enough to give you tea, why do you need to scare her?" I looked at the tea on the ground: "Did I touch her?" Tham Nghien's voice stiffened: "If it weren't for her speaking in a harsh way, why would her hands shake?" I laughed: “It's also my fault that her hands are shaking. So if she can't breathe properly, should she also blame me for standing here taking up feng shui?" Mrs. Tham couldn't bear it anymore: "Minh Ninh, you're too rude today." The round-faced lady quickly said: "Little lady, let's just quarrel a few words, don't hurt the peace. Miss Lam, go change your clothes first." Lam Van Duong bowed her head: "No need, today is a banquet for Miss Tong, I can't be rude." The more she said that, the more others felt she understood.
