Chapter 9 — I Complete It For Him, He Regrets It All His Life

Luc Lang was wearing a red dress and riding on a tall black horse. He is different from Co Thanh Yen. There was no suffocating stubbornness on his face, only clarity and joy that couldn't be hidden. When he got off his horse, his first glance was towards my courtyard door, as if even though the street was full of people, he only saw me. He walked to the front door of the palace and clasped hands with my father.

"Father-in-law, Luc Lang has come to pick up his wife."

Those two words wife rang out, the whole street seemed to be silent for a moment. Co Thanh Yen turned her head to look at him, her face pale.

“Luc Lang, what do you mean?”

Luc Lang looked at him and calmly said: "The meaning is on the letter. Today I'm here to marry Miss Tham." Co Thanh Yen gritted her teeth: "She can't marry you." Luc Lang smiled faintly: "You don't marry me, could it be that you marry someone who is engaged to your younger sister, and still shamelessly bring two palanquins of flowers to pressure people?" The surrounding chatter immediately became louder. Co Thanh Yen tightened her grip on the reins, her eyes turned red. I don't want to hear any more. The maid helped me out. The red veil covered my eyes, but I still felt countless eyes falling on me. In my previous life, I also walked through this road to board Co Thanh Yen's palanquin. At that time, we walked towards a cold life without even knowing it. And today, we know clearly who is waiting for us. Luc Lang walked in front of me, his voice was gentle like never before.

“Sister, I'm here to take you home.”

I curled my lips slightly. He bent down and firmly helped me onto the Luc family's palanquin. As soon as the palanquin curtain fell, I heard the voice of Co Thanh Yen calling my name hoarsely from behind.

“Jade Shu!”

I don't turn back. The palanquin was slowly raised. The sound of the Luc family's trumpets and drums echoed throughout the street, drowning out all the chaotic noise behind. I sat in the palanquin, my hands on my knees, and suddenly I felt a little heat in my eye sockets. Not because of sadness. But because we finally left the old dream. Outside the palanquin, Luc Lang rode beside him, occasionally tilting his head to look over, as if afraid I would disappear. And behind her, between two abandoned palanquins, Co Thanh Yen watched the shadow of my palanquin gradually move away. In front of the entire capital, he suddenly let go of the reins. Then slowly kneel down. I thought that after getting married, Co Thanh Yen should at least understand one thing clearly. I really won't turn back anymore. But people steeped in attachment often refuse to believe the truth before their eyes. He is still married to Uyen Nhi. After all, the two families were planning to marry, and Uyen Nhi had his flesh and blood in her belly. The Marquis couldn't change her mind, and the Tham family also didn't want to let her suffer more gossip. It's just that his wedding, after losing the scene of those two ridiculous flower palanquins, ended up becoming a joke that the whole capital discussed for many days. I don't ask. Don't want to know either. After bowing to Luc Lang, I was taken to the Luc family's new room. The red candles burned brightly, the curtain of joy fell, everything was the same as the previous life but also completely different. When Luc Lang lifted her veil, I unconsciously tightened my sleeves. He saw it, immediately stopped, did not laugh at me, and did not force me to immediately become a proper wife. He just sat down in front of me and said softly: "Sister, if you're scared, I'll sleep in the small room tonight. Even though we've already worshiped, you can still slowly get used to me. I'm not in a hurry." Only That sentence almost made my tears fall. It turned out that the same wedding night could really be so different. On the dowry day, Luc Lang and I returned to the Tham family very early. My father and mother saw that I was in a good mood and finally felt a little more reassured. Uyen Nhi has also returned, she is wearing a newlywed woman's dress, her face is a bit tired but she still smiles at me. She pulled me aside and said in a low voice that Co Thanh Yen, after bowing, sat in the study all night, never entering the new room. After listening, I just felt quiet. In this life, that was her and his story. Leaving the Tham family, Luc Lang and I prepared to depart for the border. The luggage had been arranged, and the Luc family's escort was also waiting outside the city. I thought that as long as I left the capital, all the old things would truly be left behind. But the carriage had not gone far before it was stopped. Outside, the sound of the Luc family's guards shouted coldly. I lifted the curtain and looked out, seeing Co Thanh Yen standing in the middle of the road, her light blue robe was slightly dislodged by the wind. After just a few days of not seeing him, he had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were full of blood, and his appearance was haggard, unlike his previous status as a noble Marquis. Luc Lang sat next to me, his face immediately cold.

“I'll go down and handle it.”

I held his hand back.

“Let me make it clear one last time.”

Luc Lang looked at me for a moment, finally nodded, but still jumped out of the car first, standing a few steps away from me. That distance was just enough for me to personally face Co Thanh Yen, and just enough so that whenever he was rude, Luc Lang could immediately cover me in front of me. We got out of the car. When Co Thanh Yen saw me, her eyes immediately lit up like someone about to sink and grabbed a piece of wood.

“Ngoc Thu.”

I calmly said: "Your Highness, you have become friends with my sister. Today, if you block me and my husband, if you have something to say, say it clearly. This is the last time." The two words husband made his face whiter. He said hoarsely: "I know I was wrong." I looked at him silently. He took half a step forward, but was forced to stop by Luc Lang's eyes.

"In my previous life, I recognized the wrong person. It was me who didn't ask clearly and didn't give her a chance to explain. It was me who let her suffer resentment in the Marquis Palace for many years. I've read those letters, Ngoc Thu, I really didn't know you ever wanted to leave, nor did I know you were that tired."
