Chapter 3
Chapter 3 — In my previous life, I saved my son. In this life, I give in to my younger sister
My father worked at Quoc Tu Giam, and Quy Thu Nghieu was my father's student at Quoc Tu Giam. Although he came from a cold family, his character was noble, coupled with profound knowledge and outstanding talent, so his father highly respected him. From a very early age, his father had intended to choose him as his son-in-law in the future. In my previous life, not long after I married Luc Thieu. Quy Thu Nghieu passed the exam and, according to the previous agreement, came to welcome Tiet Chi Nhu to become his wife. But she absolutely refused to get married. Even on the night before the big wedding, she ran away from home, and was eventually attacked by bandits on the mountain road, and tragically died on the mountain road. After her death, an autopsy discovered that she had been pregnant for several months. One night she lost her life, and the fact that she was pregnant before being married, made her father both heartbroken and angry. In just one night, her hair turned gray and her whole body became much older. After Quy Thu Nghieu learned about this, she wanted to make her father feel at ease. Not only did he not cancel the engagement. On the contrary, he also used the name of his wife who passed through his door to arrange the funeral and burial for Tiet Chi Nhu. He even kept mourning for her for a whole year. A man with such meaningful feelings is countless times more noble than Luc Thieu. After being reminded by me, father immediately nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with joy and comfort. The next day, his father personally went to see Quy Thu Nghieu. After returning, his face was filled with joy and cheerfully said:
“Chi Nghi, as soon as I opened my mouth to Thu Nghieu, he immediately agreed.”
Father also brought me a piece of jade pendant, saying that it was a family heirloom.
"Thu Nghieu said, half a month later is the Electricity exam. After he finishes the exam, he will officially come to the door to propose marriage."
"This piece of jade pendant is temporarily considered his engagement token."
I received the jade pendant and saw only the soft and gentle quality of the jade. As soon as I looked at it, I knew it was something he always carried with him. Compared to the jewels that Luc Thieu gave me after I married into the Marquis Palace in my previous life. Although the gem quality is a bit poorer. But the most precious thing is Quy Thu Nghieu's sincerity and intention. I immediately received the jade pendant and was preparing to wear it with me. Outside the door suddenly came Tiet Chi Nhu's self-pitying voice:
“Father, this piece of jade pendant looks so delicate, is it the dowry that you specially prepared for your sister?”
Luc Thieu stood behind her, his eyes only glanced at the jade piece in my hand, then said contemptuously:
"This piece of jade is of normal jade quality, there's nothing rare about it. Chi Nhu, if you like, the highest quality jade pendant in the Marquis Palace, you can choose as you please."
Father was about to open his mouth to explain, but I raised my hand to stop him. I understand Luc Thieu's personality very well, if I let him know I'm about to marry Quy Thu Nghieu. He will definitely cause a ruckus and not be quiet. Half a month later is the Electronic exam. I don't want any more unexpected events to happen at this important time, distracting Quy Thu Nghieu. Immediately, I put the jade pendant away and said lightly:
“Sister I misunderstood, this is something my mother left me, my father just gave it to me on his behalf."
The bridge of Tiet Chi Nhu's nose turned red, and with great difficulty he forced out a smile:
"From childhood until adulthood, my sister has had a loving father and mother, of course unlike me."
Luc Thieu was the one who was most easily softened by her pitiful appearance. His face immediately darkened, not even noticing that my father was still standing there. He grabbed my hand and forcefully pulled me out the door. Lower your voice:
“Tiet Chi Nghi, I know you have also been reborn.”
"This time, it seems that you are reasonable and do not continue to compete with Chi Nhu for the position of Crown Princess. I can accept you as my concubine."
“But after entering the Marquis Palace, you must regain the arrogant appearance of a lady and obediently serve Chi Nhu well.”
In that moment, his confident face overlapped with the cold and indifferent face when he sat on the small boat in his previous life. I finally couldn't bear it any longer, raised my hand, and with a "pop" slapped him hard in the face. After retracting my fingers that were numb from the force, I looked at him expressionlessly:
“My lord, you think too much.”
"I don't compete with Tiet Chi Nhu, not because I'm reasonable."
