Chapter 8 — I Complete It For Him, He Regrets It All His Life
Realizing that, Co Thanh Yen almost collapsed. Mrs. Hau took a half step back and said in a low voice: "Thanh Yen, don't be confused. Second Miss Tham is still waiting for you, she still has your child in her womb."
“I know.”
He closed his eyes.
“So I will marry Uyen Nhi.”
Mrs. Hou just breathed a sigh of relief and heard him continue: "But Tham Ngoc Thu must also return to your side."
“Are you crazy?” The lady was frightened.
Co Thanh Yen opened her eyes, her eyes were no longer wavering.
"In my previous life, she was my wife. In this life, even if I marry Uyen Nhi first, she cannot marry someone else."
Mrs. Hau was so angry that her voice trembled: "What are you planning to do? Marry both sisters? Will the Tham family agree? Will the Luc family leave it alone?" Co Thanh Yen did not answer. He just ordered someone to prepare the bride price. He thought very clearly. Tham Ngoc Thu's reputation is now implicated because of Uyen Nhi's rumors, and he was questioned in front of everyone. If he uses the name of compensation and takes the position of an ordinary wife to ask to marry her, it will also be considered saving face for the Tham family. He can give her a title, he can let her manage the house, he can use the remaining half of his life to make up for what he owed in his previous life. As long as she doesn't marry Luc Lang. As long as she was still in his sight. The next day, the carriage carrying the bride price of the Marquis stopped in front of the Tham family's door. Red caskets lined nearly half the street, attracting many passersby to stop and watch the excitement. Co Thanh Yen, dressed in a crown prince's uniform, stood in front of the palace gate. Although her face was tired, her eyes were stubborn and terrifying. He watched the big door of the Tham family slowly open. There was only one thought left in my heart. He cannot let Tham Ngoc Thu marry someone else. Absolutely impossible. The day Co Thanh Yen brought the bride price to the Tham family, my father ordered someone to block him outside the door. Dozens of red caskets were lined up in front of the palace, wedding silk fluttered in the wind, and pedestrians stood on both sides of the street. Everyone thought that the Marquis wanted to increase the bride price for second young lady Tham. When they heard that Prince Co wanted to propose to the eldest daughter of the Tham family, gossip immediately arose like boiling water. My father was so angry that he broke the teacup in the study. Mother hugged me and cried, both angry and hurt. Uyen Nhi stood outside the door of my courtyard for a long time, then finally bowed her head and said: "Sister Ah, if you feel awkward, I don't need this wedding anymore." I looked at her and suddenly saw that the girl in front of me was still the same sister who shared half a piece of cinnamon cake with me when I was young. She is not perfect, she has been rude, but she has never wanted to harm me. I held her hand and said softly: "The person he originally wanted to marry was you. I have already returned him to you. As for me, there is also someone who wants to take me home." Uyen Nhi looked at me, her eyes red. That day, my father sent someone to return all the bride price from the Marquis Palace. Co Thanh Yen stood outside the door for a long time, and in the end she only said one sentence to the Tham mansion housekeeper: "The wedding is coming, I will personally come to pick you up." That sentence passed into my ears, I only saw that he was really no longer conscious. But I don't want to let him affect my happy day. My wedding date with Luc Lang was set on the same day as Uyen Nhi and Co Thanh Yen. His father originally did not agree so urgently, but Luc Lang could not stay in the capital for too long. He said he had asked to return to the border only after the wedding. If it were any longer, I would have to stay in the capital opposite the Marquis Palace for who knows how long. Parents After listening, I finally sighed. On the day they got married, the sky was surprisingly clear. Since early morning, the Tham residence had hung silk lanterns, and there was a constant stream of people coming to congratulate him at the door. I sat in my room and let my mother comb my hair herself. While combing, he choked up and said auspicious words, saying that one brush would lead to a peaceful end to life, two brushes would bring harmony between husband and wife, and three brushes would fill the house with children and grandchildren. In my previous life, when I got married, my mother also said these words. At that time, I heard it and felt shy, my heart was full of anticipation. Listening back now, I only hope that the four words of husband and wife harmony can truly be fulfilled in this life. Suddenly there was a commotion outside the door. The maid quickly ran in, her face ugly: "Eldest Miss, Prince Co is here." Mother frowned: "He came to pick up Uyen Nhi, what is there to panic about?" The maid replied with a trembling voice: "It's not one palanquin, it's two palanquins." The mother's hand holding the comb slightly paused. I looked at my reflection in the bronze mirror and suddenly felt my heart was very calm. Co Thanh Yen indeed still came. He was dressed in a dark red dress, riding a high horse and standing in front of the palace gate. Behind him were two flower floats, one stopped in front of Uyen Nhi hospital, the other was placed right in the middle of the main door, so ostentatious that the whole street could see clearly. He raised his head and looked towards our hospital, his voice rang out amid the chatter.
“Ngoc Thu, I'm coming to pick you up.”
Many guests in the palace changed color. His father was so angry that he immediately wanted to send someone to chase him away, but Co Thanh Yen did not back down. He looked at my yard door, his eyes were stubborn and almost crazy.
"I know you're still angry. But today I've prepared enough rituals and won't let you feel resentment. You were once my wife, you should return to me in this life."
Standing in the room, listening to each word, I just felt ridiculous. At that moment, another horse's hooves sounded at the other end of the street. The sound is not intense, but strong and clear. The crowd automatically split into two sides. I heard someone exclaim: "It's General Luc!"
