Chapter 3 — I Replace Her To Get Married, She Replaces Me To Marry My Fiance
Thai Xuan is still extremely dissatisfied.
"Auntie, our young lady at home was always pampered. Even the old master and his wife never had the heart to say a harsh word to the young lady, but the brothers and sisters pampered and comforted her even more, afraid that the young lady would not be happy.
Now that I'm married to this palace, I still have to live by looking at the face of a slave, it's truly a myth! Tieu Thu Mien looked at Tu Khong Quyet with resentment. Thinking of this, she also felt extremely sorry for herself. Tu Khong Quyet replied calmly:
"Van Nhi is still young, I have always considered him as my younger brother. If there is any offense, I hope Miss Tieu will forgive me."
Hearing that, Tieu Thu Mien's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
“Isn't it too strange for my husband to call me that?”
What she cares about is the word "lady". Tu Khong Quyet immediately understood what she meant and smiled slightly.
“Madam, what you say is right.”
His voice was already very soothing. When he called out the word "ma'am", he even deliberately lowered his voice a bit, his tone was persistent, making Tieu Thu Mien's face immediately turn red. If Tieu Van Nhi was still here at that time, she would have definitely heard that something was wrong. Because the last time Tu Khong Quyet used that voice to speak, it was when he gradually took over an entire business household. It's a pity, in the end, I'm just a young lady raised in a boudoir, when faced with a handsome man who has struggled to rise from the lowest class, how can there be any chance of winning? I watched and kept shaking my head, and the two of them walked side by side towards the garden. While walking and chatting a few words, Tieu Thu Mien conveniently broke off a peony branch, brought it to her nose, sniffed it a few times, then smiled and asked:
“Which flower does your husband like best?”
“Poison Lang Flower!”
Tieu Thu Mien suddenly showed surprise.
“Just hearing the name is scary.”
"That's right, it's a poisonous flower. Cows, goats and horses only need to eat two plants to die immediately. Therefore, it also has another name, Doan Truong Thao."
“Why does my husband like such a poisonous thing?”
Mentioning this matter, in the corner of Tu Khong Quyet's eyes, a gentle smile and constant attachment immediately appeared.
“Because Van Tranh used it to earn money.”
Hearing my name, although Tieu Thu Mien didn't say anything, the half-yes, half-nothing smile on her lips still revealed the unhappiness hidden in her heart. On the contrary, Thai Xuan was extremely curious.
“How do you use that poisonous flower to earn money?”
Tu Khong Quyet also did not hide anything.
“Of course, because there are people who buy medicine, there are also people who buy poison.
“Speaking of which, the money I earned at that time was also used to treat Tieu Nham's leg.”
Tieu Nham and I were lucky enough to be able to survive safely to the border. Of course, life cannot be better. Even though we still have a thatched roof to protect ourselves from the rain and sun, we are only hungry and full. We still have not finished worrying, so where can we find the strength to do good deeds and accumulate virtue for others? The reason why I picked up Tu Khong Quyet and brought him back was because he had a fever and fainted right next to our cottage. If we really ignore him, then on the contrary, we will be the ones who create evil. I originally intended to wait for his fever to subside and then immediately chase him away, but I didn't expect Tieu Nham to have not recovered yet His leg was broken while he was in forced labor. At that time, all I could do in my heart was constantly scold my father: What a thing that only knows how to worry about the head and not the tail, it's beyond virtuous! I had the heart to take my daughter away to show my gratitude, but I didn't have the heart to bring any money with me! Hearing about his biological father's suffering, Tieu Thu Mien immediately became impatient.
“So... what to do next?”
“Van Tranh built a small wooden cart and personally dragged Tieu Nham to the medical shop.
“Waiting for the doctor to finish treating the wound, she opened her hand and said that she had no money to pay and wanted me to stay there and work to clear the debt. The doctor had no choice but to comply with her wishes.
"Only, so that I could quickly start working, he not only cured my wind and cold, but also gave me plenty to eat every day. To this day, I still don't know whether he made a profit or a loss in that transaction."
Tieu Thu Mien couldn't help but laugh.
“She is really clever.”
Tu Khong Quyet sighed softly, his voice filled with nostalgia.
“If it was just clever, it would be good.
“Her liver is so big that it makes others afraid.”
Tieu Thu Mien remembered the words he had just said and suddenly understood.
“Could it be... that she went to pick the Poison Lang flower?”
