Chapter 1 — Going Back To The Old One

I got married far away and married into the Marquis Palace for six years. My mother sent me a letter, saying that my niece had refused the engagement because of me. After returning home, the niece cried loudly in the room. "What happened when we were young and old? The aunt has admired the aunt for many years, and after they got married, don't they still look at each other with disgust?" "The aunt even brought her little junior sister to the palace, intentionally making it difficult for the aunt and uncle." "If I force you to live like that, I'd rather die." The room immediately fell silent, the aunt scolded and covered her mouth. I was stunned. It turns out that the story between me and Ta Du had already spread everywhere. Even her mother's family in Khuc Chau was no exception. 01 Tue Nhi was only fifteen years old this year. Just because of a few quarrels with third young master Ly Thi, she made a fuss demanding an annulment of the marriage. I'm having a headache because of this. The three great families of Bac So have used marriage to connect for the past hundred years. Thanks to that, we rely on each other. Tue Nhi is the daughter of our Trinh family, and the marriage contract with Ly Thi was scheduled a few years ago. Just waiting for her to choose the one she likes best. Third young master Ly Thi and Ly Chieu were the ones she had chosen in the past. The two of us were childhood friends and had compatible interests. But my story in the Marquis Palace eventually spread back. Tue Nhi's mouth was covered by her sister's mouth. Seeing her silence, she realized she said the wrong thing. She looked at me as if she had just done something wrong. "Auntie, Tue Nhi didn't mean that." After speaking, the girl felt so sorry for herself that she burst into tears. I let everyone leave. Only then did I clearly understand the story. It's just a matter of a piece of chestnut cake. Tue Nhi loves to eat, every month Ly Chieu buys chestnut cakes several times to bring to her. Just two days ago, a lady named Vuong passed by Khuc Chau and asked Ly Chieu for the last piece of chestnut cake. After knowing the story, she said that Ly Chieu must have seen that Miss Vuong Thi was beautiful, so she gave up the cake. Already angry. I accidentally heard my recent situation from the conversation between my brother and my sister-in-law, and I was suddenly scared and didn't want to get married anymore. I burst out laughing. He raised his hand to pinch her cheek. "Then tell me, what did you hear?" Tue Nhi pursed her lips. "Father said, in the past, it was you who lowered the marriage price!" "Who doesn't know that among the three great families of Northern So, our Trinh family is the leader. Ms. Ly wanted to marry us, so she sent Ly Chieu to Khuc Chau early on to be with you." "In the past, she was Trinh Thi's daughter, talented and handsome, the son of Ly Thi and Vuong Thi. You can choose as many as you want." "The aunt at that time just inherited the title of Marquis, no real name." "If it weren't for the fact that that year the aunt had not pursued her for five years, she would not have married you!" I took a piece of chestnut cake to try, it tasted a bit sweet, it was really not bad. "What happened after that?" "After we first got married, the aunt cherished her like a pearl. But after only three years, your younger sister pretended to be sick and moved into the Marquis government." "She showed a pitiful and weak appearance, begging her to accept her." "After that, the two of them showed disapproval. Father was angry, telling mother that she wanted to come pick her up every year." "But you..." "But I refused?" I said. Tue Nhi nodded in confusion: "Auntie, where are you still attached to that ungrateful guy?"02What Tue Nhi said is correct. That year, Ta Du came to Khuc Chau to see me once, when I was only thirteen years old. Just politely call him brother. After that, he stayed in Khuc Chau for a while, and often came to my house to play chess and drink tea with his father. I've never met him. Two years later, we updated the statistics. Every time the young masters of the Ly and Vuong families came to the palace, he felt uneasy. Send someone to inquire about my thoughts. At that time, outsiders laughed and said that Ta Du's appearance was outstanding, but his family background was not the best. But gross

He is also considered a noble son of Bac So, not to mention he is famous for not being close to women. He is the only son in the family. But Trinh Thi has been married to the Ly and Vuong families for a hundred years. Ta Du wants to marry me, it's very difficult! The piper asked me what I thought, I shook my head. Don't like it at all. Whether it was Ta Du or the princes of the Ly and Vuong dynasties who came to the palace. The pipe sister teased that she knew who I liked. I quickly covered her mouth. Can't say, definitely can't say. The thoughts of a fifteen-year-old girl were hidden deep in my heart. 03 That year, Ta Du did not receive my answer, his heart grew cold, and he went to Son Thang library to continue studying. Going once is three years. Every year he sends people to send many letters and gifts. Outsiders say that he is eternally in love. During the journey, he also went down the mountain many times to come to the palace to meet me. He said: "In this life, if I can get the attention of the young lady, even if I die ten thousand times, Ta Du will not give up." That day, I cried all night, trying to force myself to ask him. "Do you accept concubines?" Ta Du was slightly stunned, so excited that his face turned red. "If I can marry the young lady, I will absolutely not accept concubines in this life!" "And absolutely will not keep outside." After saying that, he still felt that it was not enough. "Lanh Vi, I really like you, not just a momentary impulse for a day or two, please love me." Ta Du has a cold and cold appearance, but when he said this, his eyes turned red. I looked out the window, knowing I was ungrateful to the other person. A soft "yes" sound. Then let's get married! From now on, don't ask about the past. Just live well with Ta Du. He came to the door to propose. Mother knew my thoughts, and after sighing, she didn't stop me much. She said that with her in the family, the three great families have been married for many years, and there has been no shortage of marriages from me. Just think carefully. She also told me that in this world, marrying a man is very important, but more important is yourself. At that time we still did not understand. Half a year later, Ta Du returned from Son Thang library and we became friends. At first, husband and wife got along well, Ta Du treated me very well. That goodness lasted for three years.04I did not answer Tue Nhi about what I was attached to Ta Du. Just ask the girl. Have you really thought carefully about wanting to cancel your marriage with Ly Chieu? Do you want to go to the bakery and ask for clarification? Tue Nhi's eyes turned red again and she shook her head. I grabbed her hand. "What's wrong? Tell your aunt." "Outsiders all say you're not worthy of Ly Chieu, saying he's talented and handsome, but you..." I understand what Tue Nhi means. Tue Nhi has two daughters, Tue Nhi is the youngest. Her two sisters are both educated and have outstanding appearances, and have long since married into the Ly and Vuong dynasties, respectively. It's just that the eldest sister married into Ly Thi's second room, not in Duong Chau. She feels that her appearance is not as good as her sisters, and her academic talent is also a bit weaker. She knew that the Ly and Vuong families were competing with each other to propose to Trinh Thi's daughter. Ly Chieu agreed to stay by her side and comfort her, perhaps because of this status. "So do you like Ly Chieu?" When mentioning Ly Chieu, Tue Nhi's expression softened a bit and did not shy away. Gently nodded. "He's beautiful, when I look at you, I feel like my heart is about to melt." "But now he's with me because of the Trinh family." "There are so many girls in the world, if I marry there, I have to watch him welcome new people into the door, so Tue Nhi would rather not marry!" This is Tue Nhi's young woman's confession. In the past, I suffered because I couldn't love, even though I just needed the other person to be by my side, that person still refused. But Tue Nhi was scared because of my marriage, so she was terrified of this marriage. She not only wants to have Ly Chieu, but also wants to have his heart. Afraid that Ly Chieu is not sincere, and afraid that his true heart will change in the blink of an eye.

Why don't you start? "So what do you plan to do?" Tue Nhi wiped her tears and said: "Go to the mountain to become a nun, your ears will be pure." I laughed softly. "Then your mother will really cry." "Don't rush, wait until I go see Ly Chieu!"05 Before meeting Ly Chieu, of course I had to meet someone first. My sister-in-law saw me out of Tue Nhi's hospital. "Your previous hospital always had someone to clean it, my brother couldn't stand seeing the place covered in dust." "There's also someone..." She smiled, "he's already waiting in my hospital, just come and ask." Thank you, sister-in-law. I came to visit my mother, then returned to the hospital after dinner. The other person was still in the yard. He wore a dark blue uniform, his tall body stood upright in the middle of the yard, his face was cold, his whole body radiated a cold aura that made people afraid. As before, just looking at it makes people not dare to come close. I clasped my palms, walked over and sat down in the yard. Seeing me, his face did not change, he bowed and bowed. "Eldest lady." I poured two cups of tea. "Sit down, let's talk about Ly Chieu." Still straight to the point. His voice was indifferent. "That day it was the second young lady of Vuong Thi's concubine, she sent someone to ask Ly Chieu." "The two of you never talked." "Is that so?" So I don't know where Tue Nhi heard that Ly Chieu saw that second young lady Vuong was beautiful so she gave up the cake. "Have you explained to Tue Nhi yet?" He nodded slightly: "Lady has said." "Maybe it's because second young lady Vuong is beautiful that Tue Nhi thinks so much." He didn't answer. I took a sip of tea and asked softly: "Hac Giang Dinh, is Miss Vuong beautiful?" His eyes paused, still not responding. Before leaving, my sister-in-law told me that the matter between Ly Chieu and Second Miss Vuong was a complete misunderstanding. I asked why she was so sure. The sister-in-law sighed and leaned closer. "Even though the second young lady belongs to the concubine family, because she was born extremely beautiful, she was highly respected by the head of the Vuong family." "But these past few years she has often visited Khuc Chau, do you know why?" The younger sister-in-law said that a few years ago, Hac Giang Dinh went out to work for her brother and accidentally saved the second young lady Vuong. As soon as she met, she fell in love with Hac Giang Dinh. Occasionally give him things. The other part of the cake was also bought by Ly Chieu to give to Hac Giang Dinh. I finished my cup of tea in one gulp. "Okay, you go home." I stood up and entered the room, Hac Giang Dinh suddenly asked in a low voice. "Is the young lady at the Marquis Palace okay?" I didn't turn around: "Everything is fine!" Then close the door. 06Hac Giang Dinh was rescued when passing through Duong Chau at the age of seven. That day, the cemetery on both sides of the mountain road was filled with many dead bodies, and there were also the sounds of people crying and looking for relatives. I saw eight-year-old Hac Giang Dinh dragging his injured leg and crawling out. The blood on his head mixed with dirty water, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes. I sent someone to save him. His father named him Hac Giang Dinh. He became my close bodyguard. Father said that the close guards are elite servants personally chosen by him. In addition to protecting our safety, on weekdays they also act discreetly, asking for information on behalf of the Trinh family, and do not easily reveal themselves to the outside world. Hac Giang Dinh is a good kindergarten. What my father said was not wrong. Hac Giang Dinh is talented and intelligent, he learns everything quickly. Even when he invited Mr. to teach, he stood outside the door listening and remembered it better than me. At that time, in order not to be inferior to others, I worked hard to read a lot of books. He also protected me from a young age to repay me for saving my life. I fell into the water, he was the first to jump in. Encountering bandits on the road, he risked his life to fight to protect us.
