Chapter 2 — Hong Nhan Muu

Green bamboo is looming, the spring breeze gently shakes the willow branches outside the window, the whole room is bright and bright. At the same time, there was also the gentle sound of birds singing.

"I'll go ask the doctor to come and take a look right away."

“Truc Nguyet.” We call her back.

I put my hand on my chest, where it still seemed to have a dull, throbbing pain. I slowly calmed down for a while before gradually accepting the fact that I had been reborn.

“How long have I been sleeping?”

Truc Nguyet turned to look at me, her face full of worry.

"Miss, a few days ago, after you returned from outside the city gate, you were infected with wind and cold. These past few days have really made the Grand Master and his wife worried to death."

In his previous life, Tieu Hoai Phong went to the border for two years. When he returned triumphantly, the emperor opened the city gates wide to welcome him. I followed my father and went out of the city to welcome him, but the person I waited for for those two years brought back from the battlefield an orphan girl. It is said that when he was injured, the orphan girl saved his life. The two of them were in front of many people without any hesitation. After he said the words "I will treat Ngoc Nhi well", I immediately became a laughing stock for everyone. On the way back, I got drenched in the rain and ended up with a high fever that continued for several days. I regained my composure and said faintly: "I'm okay now." According to the memories of my previous life, at this time Tieu Hoai Phong was already in the lobby making a noise demanding to break up with me. What did we do in our previous life? Because this marriage was given by the emperor, under my father's advice, I finally agreed to marry him, but the result was that seventy-nine people in my family lost their lives. In this life, I also want to leave the marriage, but this matter of defiance cannot be done by me. I ignored Truc Nguyet's objections and ran directly towards the lobby. Before he even entered the door, he heard his father angrily shouting: "Tieu Hoai Phong, have all the books you read gone into the dog's stomach? If you do that, have you ever thought about Trieu Y? Are you worthy of her?" Tieu Hoai Phong and I are childhood friends. When the previous emperor was still alive, on behalf of his mother, both families gave us blessings for marriage. So since we were kids, we grew up together. I'm good at literature, he loves martial arts. Every time he followed the old general on an expedition, he would definitely send me a letter. When he returned, he would also bring some interesting toys for me, tell me about the outside world, and even take me to climb the wall to walk around the night market. Before, I never doubted my future with him. But now it's different. When I stepped inside, I heard Tieu Hoai Phong's sarcastic tone:

"Sir, I have a good relationship with Lenh Ai. You always consider yourself to be from a wealthy family. I think you probably don't want her to suffer resentment when she's with me."

“You are such a mess!” Father was so angry that he broke the tea cup.

"Father!" I quickly stepped forward to help my father who was angry and had a heart attack.

My father coldly told me to retreat. Just like in his previous life, Tieu Hoai Phong looked at me and sneered: "Ngoc Nhi and I have a mutual relationship. I promised her the position of main wife. Trieu Y is also a famous noblewoman. Surely she wouldn't do something like that to deliberately entangle and lose all face like that, right?" In my previous life, even though my heart was in pain because of how he treated me I was like that, but I still tried to stay rational and advised him that our marriage was given by the Emperor, not that we could refuse it if we wanted to. Unexpectedly, with that advice, in his eyes, it turned out that I was deliberately entangling him endlessly. If that's the case, I will complete it for you in this life. Seeing that I didn't say anything, Tieu Hoai Phong continued to say: "If you absolutely want to marry me, then you can only be my concubine."

"Confusion! Too much contempt for people!" Father was so angry that his entire face turned red.

I supported my father and faintly looked at the man in front of me, who was so familiar that he now seemed extremely strange:

“Okay, I agree to break the kiss…”

As soon as his father heard it, he became impatient: "Shut up! Are you going to resist the order?" My previous life was like that, my future was tightly pressed by that holy decree to the point where there was no way out. In this life, we must preserve ourselves.

“Father, if General Tieu is so determined, then it is not convenient for us to force others.”

After finishing speaking, I looked towards Tieu Hoai Phong: "If you want to marry someone else, then let us go to the palace and ask the emperor to annul it."
