Chapter 5 — Husband and Wife Share the Same Feud

“Even though she is a common woman, she is very spirited and will absolutely not be someone else's concubine, even my concubine.” At that time, I was somewhat embarrassed, feeling that my thinking was too limited. Now that I know Khuong Hoa's choice, I feel it is completely consistent with what she has done. She is truly not a woman who only knows how to follow the flow and sit still and wait. "Actually, I can't blame her." Tong Ung said: "She has no obligation to wait for me, moreover..." Furthermore, no one knows whether that waiting will be fruitful or not. "So what do you plan to do?" In this game of pursuing fame and fortune, you and I both have what we wish for. What we long for is still at the horizon, far away and unreachable. What he longed for was right before his eyes, there was still a way around. Tong Ung said: "I want to meet her once." "There are many words, I want to explain them to her right in front of her." "Even if I have to say goodbye, I still want to hear what she has to say." He is really so in love. If it were me, I wouldn't do that. The love has ended, the heart has changed, what's done is done. But I'm not Tong Ung, so I respect his thoughts. "I'll go with you." I said. Even if there is only one in ten thousand hope of salvation, I am still willing to help you. 11 This time we did not go to the tea garden but to a temple. Khuong Hoa refused to meet Tong Ung. Therefore, when she and the bookkeeper came to the temple, Tong Ung and I also came. Mom tried to get the bookkeeper to leave, while I stood guard outside the palace. Tong Ung walked inside alone. The pagoda was built very high, hidden in the middle of the mountain, surrounded by fog. I leaned down in the hallway, counting the tiles on the porch. If Khuong Hoa turns around, it is of course a good thing. If she refuses... What should I do if she refuses? I don't know. I lowered my eyes, opened my palm, and quietly observed. These hands do not have the ability to turn heaven and earth. Actually, Tong Ung and I are similar. Fate is like floating water hyacinths, so far it can only be arranged by others. But should we accept our destiny? I can't. When I was twelve years old, I grew taller and began to look like a young woman. She worries about my future. Mom said it's actually very easy to leave the family temple. She advised me to go ask the Third Master or the Third Lady. The third master is my biological father, and the third lady is also considered my mother. They will give me a place to stay. I don't listen. Life is very difficult, but as long as you try to endure it, you can still overcome it. But things don't always go as planned. On a stormy night, third uncle pushed open the door of the family temple and entered. I was chased out of the room by my mother, my mother hugged me tightly, my mouth was covered. "Miss, don't cry, absolutely don't cry!" "Can't expose this." Can't expose that secret, even though it's a secret that everyone in the Thang family knows. I don't understand. So I rushed into the rain and ran straight to the third room to beg the Third Lady to save me. That's her husband. Others cannot advise, but she can. But she was still indifferent. "Go home, this is not something you and I can interfere with." The overwhelming despair swallowed me whole. At that time I understood, accepting fate only makes fate more tragic. So I won't give up. 12I stood in the hallway, thinking about the worst possibility. Then the electric door opened and Khuong Hoa walked out first. Seeing me, her eyes flashed with surprise, then became calm again. This is the first time I've observed her at such a close distance. She has a delicate appearance, elegant features, and is a gentle lady like water. But

If you look closely, you will notice the stubborn look between the eyebrows. She is a woman who is soft on the outside and hard on the inside. She knew who I was, and had no intention of talking to me, just nodded and walked by. Tong Ung immediately chased after him: "Khuong Hoa!" he called. Khuong Hoa stopped walking, then turned around. There was a very pale calm look on her face. "You shouldn't bring your wife to see me, Tu Ngoc. That's not fair to your wife." She said. Tong Ung opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain, but Khuong Hoa did not give him a chance. Khuong Hoa looked at me: "You shouldn't follow him and cause trouble." I never thought I would be lectured by her. "Miss Khuong." I said: "He just wants to meet you." "I know." Khuong Hoa nodded: "But I don't want to meet you." After speaking, Khuong Hoa looked at Tong Ung again. "Tu Ngoc." Her voice was calm: "I didn't lie to you. In fact, you and I ended a long time ago." "When leaving the capital, your mother gave me two ways. One is to take the money and leave, the other is to go to the palace to be your concubine." "I chose money." "Tong Tu Ngoc, I don't like you as much as I thought. Compared to being a concubine, the first thing I think about is myself."
