Chapter 3 — Hong Nhan Muu

Father was angry: "You nonsense! Is your reputation no longer needed?" Tieu Hoai Phong ignored his father's anger and boldly said: "If Trieu Y also intends to abandon the engagement, how about inviting the Grand Master to also present a chapter stating the reason."

"General Tieu is joking. You just came back from a victorious battle. You are a meritorious servant. How can father compare to you? If we present a medal, it will be like hitting the emperor's face. After all, it is a holy order given by the emperor."

“As long as the holy edict is issued, I will absolutely not get involved.”

In this life, the matter of resistance is left to you alone to do. After all, you still have military merit in you, relying on military merit to resist orders, I think it will probably not have a good outcome.

“Okay, it's decided.”

I heard that two days ago, Tieu Hoai Phong submitted a petition to the emperor, begging to annul the engagement between him and me. In the chapter, he used extremely sincere words: That orphan girl named Nhan had the gift of saving his life. In order to save him, she almost lost her life at the border. This gratitude touched heaven and earth. He swore to marry her as his wife. However, the first emperor gave Ninh Thi a marriage because he loved her, but a great man must respect his love and loyalty, keep his promise, so he begged the emperor to annul the marriage contract. The Emperor has summoned my father, and probably revealed the request that Tieu Hoai Phong proposed in the document. Father sighed heavily, only saying that this matter was an order given by the emperor. As a subject, it was inconvenient to interfere, so please decide for yourself. The emperor also felt awkward. Both sides are from distinguished families. Whether we agree or not, the end result is unfair to the Grand Master's Palace, and it's even more of an injury to me. During the flower banquet at the royal palace. Tieu Hoai Phong brought Nhan Ngoc Nhi to attend. He took care of Nhan Ngoc Nhi next to him extremely thoughtfully and meticulously. The famous ladies standing nearby had a sarcastic tone:

"This General Tieu is truly a man of love and loyalty. His wedding with the Grand Master has not yet ended, but he has already led the bride and groom into the holy palace."

"He is the hero who fought back the barbarians who invaded the border. Not everyone has that ability."

“Huh, it seems like the general's wife's predetermined position will probably be changed.”

"In my opinion, Miss Ninh of the Grand Master's Palace is still more virtuous..."

Truc Nguyet was so angry that she tried to walk over there, but I stopped her.

"Miss, don't listen to those gossipy words, the Emperor won't give you a wedding so easily..."

I pressed her hand and gently shook my head to signal. Truc Nguyet's words immediately stopped. In my previous life, my heart was like ashes, I begged my father to resign, but in the end I was accused by the emperor of resisting orders and being disrespectful. In the end, I almost implicated the whole family, so I could only obey the decree and marry Tieu Hoai Phong. But he thought I was acting, deliberately trying to separate him and Nhan Ngoc Nhi. If that's the case, in this life we'll switch positions, let him be the one who relies on grace to resist, and I'll be the one who's harmed.

“Miss, General Tieu is here.” Truc Nguyet lowered her voice.

I raised my head and saw Tieu Hoai Phong wearing a purple plain clothes with thread trim Silver, walking with the Great Prince in this direction, followed by Nhan Ngoc Nhi. The cold, sarcastic voices behind him immediately fell silent. Everyone bowed in unison to pay respects to the Great Prince.

“No formalities.” The eldest prince smiled faintly: "If you ladies are here enjoying flowers, then this king will not disturb everyone's pleasure anymore."

“General Xiao, can I go for a walk with this king over there?”

Tieu Hoai Phong looked at me, then gave Nhan Ngoc Nhi a determined look: "I'll be back in a moment." Having finished speaking, he left with the Great Prince. Nhan Ngoc Nhi stood next to her like a frightened little deer, her powder-white gown like a caper flower gently blooming. Someone smiled and walked over:

“Are you that orphan girl?”

“People from lowly backgrounds sure do have tricks…”

"Nothing else, bewitching General Tieu to the point of going crazy, I don't even need the Grand Master's daughter anymore."

“Who would do such a thing for someone with a decent status…”

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed softly. This time I won't stand up to rescue her.
