Chapter 4 — Ke That Hau Phu

He also doesn't know why he cares about me. Later he became the new noble in the court, the royal family was prosperous, many families wanted to marry their daughters to him, but he deliberately went to the Do family, asking to marry a concubine like me. Nguyen Trinh waited for my wife and I to calm down before stepping up and quietly saying: "From now on, with me here, no one can bully you two." 11 Afraid that something unexpected would happen, Nguyen Trinh sat on a tree in the yard all night. Before leaving, he said: "I didn't think carefully before. Don't worry, I will arrange everything smoothly in the future." I pulled his sleeve back, there was a sentence stuck in my throat, I couldn't say it. "Why did you come back at this time?" In my previous life, when I married Bui Kinh, he was at the border. But in this life, he deliberately appeared at the most important moment. Nguyen Trinh showed a strange expression. "In the past, every day there was a voice in my ear, calling me back to the capital, back to the capital, back to the capital. As if if I didn't return, something would happen that would make me regret it for the rest of my life." "So I returned earlier than everyone else." I was stunned. In the invisible realm, it seems like something is helping us correct our deviations. Perhaps God saw that my previous life was too cruel, so in this life, things took a different trajectory. That afternoon, Nguyen Trinh brought two maids. He said he borrowed it from the Crown Prince. He was extremely skilled and could protect me. Once I get married, they will return to the Eastern Palace. Nuong returned from outside, looking guilty. "Kieu Kieu, am I really useless?" She bowed her head, tightened her handkerchief, as if she had done something wrong. "I clearly hate her to death, I wish I could break her arm and spit on her face. But when I actually stood in front of her, I still... couldn't help myself." I held her hand: "Nang, you're not useless. You're just too kind. No need to force yourself, just do what you like." "Really?" "Really." She stopped crying and smiled, as if she had just taken off some burden, her whole body felt lighter. She said she wanted to embroider the most beautiful wedding dress for me. She wanted the whole capital to see that the wedding dress her daughter wore when she got married was unique. Because my father opened the curtain and made the Do family lose face, he didn't like me and my wife. We don't pay attention. Anyway, out of respect for Nguyen Trinh, you cannot reduce my dowry. After two more days, the Marquis sent a card. My sister is seriously ill and is about to die. She wants to see me one last time. 12 "Don't go, she definitely doesn't have good intentions." Nuong furrowed her eyebrows. I pressed the back of her hand and said in a calm voice: "Don't worry, you'll come back safely." Ten years of humiliation and hatred burned me day and night. I am not a saint, I cannot repay evil with virtue. There are some feuds that must be reported. Nuong looked at me, stunned for a long time, and didn't stop anymore. "You're an adult," her voice was a bit choked, "better than you." I brought a maid to the Marquis Palace. She leaned on the bed, her face completely sunken, like a lamp about to burn out. She saw me, tears falling. "Kieu Kieu, you were wrong..." She reached out to reach out to me, I stood still without moving. "For the sake of my mother, I treated you like that, it's the right thing to do for you to hate me. But I don't have many more days left, you take pity on me, don't hate me anymore, okay?" She coughed, regained her breath, then continued: "In the future I will marry General Nguyen. His future is immeasurable. I only ask you one thing, my two children are still so young, can you take care of them for me from time to time?" Seeing that I didn't answer, my sister struggled to sit up, but was held back by the maid. She said with a mournful expression: “Kieu Kieu, respect

Our previous love between sisters, can you agree with me?” I was momentarily panicked. Before Do Man got married, our relationship was not bad, even very good. She almost sees me as her own sister. When she has good food, good toys, she always remembers me. That's why in my previous life I never doubted that she would destroy me. When Bui Kinh told me the truth, I hated him so much. She noticed my agitation and wanted to say something. Outside, a maid's voice was heard shouting: "Young lady has fallen!" Looks like he injured his leg!” My sister's face suddenly changed. She grabbed my hand and begged: "Kieu Kieu, help me see the child, please!" I'm the only one left." I lowered my head to look at her sunken, pale face. Compared to the plump and beautiful girl before, they were completely different people. "Okay." A smile appeared on her face. I let go of her hand, turned around and walked out. The maid led the way, I followed her through the long hallway, around fake mountain. Standing in front of the tightly closed door, she said: "Miss Ngoc is inside." 13 I alone pushed the door open. There was no sister Ngoc in the room, only Bui Kinh. He wore a stone-green brocade robe, and his body was as tall and straight as jade. Even though he was the father of two children, he was still cold and handsome, like a meticulous painting.
