Chapter 6 — Mother wants me to share my husband with you, so I won't marry anymore

The more mother looked, the more satisfied she became. The smile on her face gradually became more sincere. The dispute just now seemed to have been pushed to the back of her mind. Everything is very favorable, it seems that everything is developing in a good direction. I just silently breathed a sigh of relief. Mother immediately closed the list of gifts, raised her head to look at Co An Hoai, smiled and opened her mouth.

"Prince Co, I also have a daughter, her name is Tong Dao. She was born gentle and lovely, with a good temperament."

"Are you willing to marry her as Binh's wife and let her and Yen Nhi marry there?"

I was immediately so angry that my blood rushed straight to my head, my fingertips tightened around the hem of my shirt, my knuckles were squeezed until they turned white. Co An Hoai was slightly stunned, clasped his hands and refused: "Sorry, ma'am, in this life I will only marry one wife, and will not accept concubines." The mother still did not give up hope, her tone became more urgent: "Or should you meet Dao Nhi first? I treat both daughters the same, all the teachings are the same. If you two sisters are married together, you will definitely not compete for affection, nor will it make the family feel uneasy." She spoke of sincere love, as if she were wholeheartedly recommending a treasure hidden at the bottom of a chest. Co An Hoai's expression did not change, and once again gracefully refused: "Madam's good intentions, I would like to acknowledge them, please forgive me." The disappointment on the mother's face was clearly hanging there, even if she wanted to hide it, she couldn't hide it. Probably, after thinking about it for a long time, she still doesn't understand why there are men in this world who are not willing to enjoy the happiness of others. At this moment, behind the screen at the back of the main hall came a very soft sound. We know who is hiding there eavesdropping. Mother coughed softly, forced a smile on her face, and kept Co An Hoai in the palace to eat. Co An Hoai looked at me and nodded in acceptance. After dinner, my mother asked me to go with him to the flower hall for a walk. I was so nervous that I didn't know what to say for a moment. Co An Hoai was the first to speak.

"Miss Tong, thank you for saving me that day. I will always remember this kindness."

I wanted to say it was just a convenient thing, no need to take it to heart, but before the words could be said, he continued to speak.

“But I married you, not to repay a favor and save my life.”

I raised my head, just facing his eyes. Those eyes were calm and measured, but at this moment there was a hint of tension that was difficult to detect. His ears turned red for a moment, but his tone became more determined: "It's because I like you in my heart."

“A year ago, she went to a temple outside the city to offer incense and saw me fainting on the side of the road.

She invited the doctor to advance the medical examination fee on my behalf, and left me scraps of money as a fee."

"At that time, I had injuries on my body and looked extremely miserable. Perhaps she had never looked closely at my face."

Of course I remember clearly. That day I came out of the temple and saw a person falling in the grass on the side of the road. At that time I didn't know who he was, I just saw him as a traveler in distress.

“At that time I did not reveal my identity, because the enemy was still looking for me everywhere, I was afraid it would implicate you.”

Co An Hoai looked at me, with a trace of guilt in his eyes: “Later Now that your injury has healed, I came to you to say thank you. I told you that if you are willing, I will definitely marry you as my wife." He smiled: "At that time, she just said 'it's convenient, no need to say thank you', and then sent me away." My face gets hot. At that time, I only considered what he said as polite words, just a casual mention of a noble son, I did not dare to truly consider it true.

"You said I'm the only one in the back yard, is that true?"

Until today, I still don't dare to believe that someone would actually give me a unique favor. In my previous life, I lived for more than twenty years, even a bowl of longevity noodles had to be shared half with Tong Dao. The unique thing that belongs only to us, we have never truly had. Co An Hoai looked into my eyes, those eyes were deep and steadfast, not at all evasive.

“My father and mother have been in love all their lives, and father has never brought any concubines into the backyard.

After his mother suddenly passed away, he completely abandoned the idea of secular life and still lives alone today.
