Chapter 6 — In my previous life, I saved my son. In this life, I give in to my younger sister

However, it was beyond her expectations. I just smiled slightly.

“Sister, if you can truly live as you wish, then naturally it is the best thing.”

She was immediately stunned. Very soon, the big wedding day came between me and Quy Thu Nghieu. Two days before getting married, I personally went to Tu Phuong to pick up the veil that I had asked them to embroider. After getting the veil, I was about to turn around and leave. Then in front of the door, a shadow suddenly fell. Luc Thieu stood at the door, his face gloomy and heavy. It's only been half a month without seeing each other. However, he had lost weight visibly to the naked eye. His cheeks were sunken, making the dark circles under his eyes become even more obvious. As soon as I saw him, I instinctively took a step back and opened my mouth to call out to the maid. But he quickly put his hand over my mouth.

"Chi Nghi, I've tried to send the others away. Listen to me say a few words, just a few sentences."

In his eyes, there was an unprecedented pleading and urgency. I looked at him for a moment, then finally nodded slightly. At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the hand covering my mouth. But he was slow and refused to speak. Just look closely at the brocade box in my hand, inside is the veil that I am carefully cherishing. I waited a few breaths, gradually losing patience.

“My lord, if you don't have anything to say, then please get out of my way.”

He reluctantly laughed.

"Chi Nghi, in the past every time I went out to socialize, no matter how many hours it was before I returned, she would sit under the light and wait for me."

“Now, after just waiting a while and I haven't opened my mouth yet, you're already impatient.”

I was not polite and responded directly:

"My lord, Tiet Chi Nghi was waiting for you under the light that year, but was pushed into the lake by your own hand and drowned by the lake water."

His eyes were like a candle blown by the wind, suddenly shaking violently, then turning away.

“Chi Nghi, if I say it, I really regret it, can you forgive me?”

I did not hesitate even for a moment.

“In this life, it will never be possible.”

Having finished speaking, I walked past him and walked out the door. After getting married to Quy Thu Nghieu, he was quickly personally appointed by His Majesty and entered the Imperial Palace to take office. Work at the Imperial Palace is extremely busy. He often worked until late at night to review the medals and official documents presented by local officials. Every time like that, I quietly stay by his side to keep him company, add tea for him, and cut the wick of the lamp. Sometimes, he will also bring big and small things, things he read in official documents, to discuss with us. One day, I saw him holding a few official documents in his hand, looking like he wanted to say something again. I quietly asked:

“Thu Nghieu, do you have something to tell me?”

He nodded and decisively brought the documents in front of me:

"These are all proclamations presented by the mandarins in the capital, exposing the crimes of An Duong Marquis Palace."

"This version is the Marquis's butler blatantly appropriating people's homes."

"This person is a relative of the Marquis who relied on the Marquis's reputation to open a pawn shop, lend money at high interest rates, and exploit the common people."

“This version is…”

“Crown Prince Luc Thieu was competing for love Because of someone else, he beat to death a son of an official in the capital."

Hearing the last story, my heart couldn't help but be shocked. During this time, I heard many myths from Luc Thieu. Including the fact that he still rarely steps foot into the main courtyard where Tiet Chi Nhu lives, only wandering around outside every day. He went in and out of windy places, no matter how much Tiet Chi Nhu cried and caused chaos, he never looked back. According to the maid's story, when Tiet Chi Nhu became too disruptive, she even used the child in her belly to threaten her, wanting her to leave. Luc Thieu just coldly said one sentence:

"The child is still alive, you are still the Crown Princess."

“If the child is no longer there, do you think I will still keep this title for you?”

In the past, I always thought that it was just because he and Tiet Chi Nhu did not get along. But I didn't expect that he would cause a problem because he fought over a woman and beat another to death. Quy Thu Nghieu gently explained:

"I heard that the woman that Luc Thieu fought over with someone else looks a bit like her."
