Chapter 3 — My sister changed her concubine, I was reborn to reclaim my fate

The list of mother's dowry, land deeds, shop documents... must all be kept here. Sure enough, in the third drawer, we found a stack of papers. The list of dowry left behind by my mother was twenty-eight pages long. Three thousand acres of good fields, two shops in the west of the city, sixteen chests of gold, silver and jewels, eighty silk brocade trees. The Luc family's daughters in Jiangnan marry, and the rituals have always been top-notch. But when we turn to the last page, we see a few new lines of text appear on it.

"All the good fields were transferred to Lieu Uyen Nhu's name, and the two stores were entered into the public records of the Co Palace."

Below is the signing date. Three months ago. Three months ago... That was also the time when the wedding was scheduled. We turn each page, one page at a time. The dowry my mother left me... More than half of it has been transferred by my father to Lieu Uyen Nhu's name. My hands trembled. But we can't stop. We continue to flip through. At the bottom of the drawer there is an envelope. On the envelope there were only four words written.

"Uyen Nhu dearly revealed."

I tore the envelope. Inside is the father's pen.

"Everything has been prepared. On the day we get married, you just need to follow the plan. I have changed Niem Khanh's concubine, and the family tree has been fixed. The Luc family is in Giang Nam. By the time they react, everything will be fine."

"After the matter is completed, Luc's entire dowry will belong to you."

White paper and black ink. Not a single word is wrong. I folded the letter and kept it in my chest. Then he took out the business card again. The name on there... is no longer Co Niem Khanh. The ink mark was smeared. Instead, there are three words... Co Uyen Nhu. Even the eight characters that give birth to the gods... have been changed to Lieu Uyen Nhu's. In my previous life, I did not know these things at all. I always thought... Everything was done by Lieu Uyen Nhu alone. From beginning to end... The person behind helping her... was her father. He himself crossed out my name from the business card. He personally gave the dowry left behind by his mother to an outsider. Even the family tree... He also edited it himself. When I walked out of the study holding that stack of papers, the moon just peeked out from under the clouds. The yard was so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard. I hide everything well. Then return to your room. Lock the door tightly. Sitting quietly... Until dawn. Early the next morning, Lieu Uyen Nhu carrying a bowl of lotus seed porridge appeared in front of my room.

"Sister, you didn't sleep well last night, right? I specifically told the kitchen to cook this bowl of porridge, please drink some."

I look at that bowl of porridge. Remembering my previous life, on the day of my birth. It was she... who gave me a cup of tea. After drinking... I don't know anything anymore.

"I don't drink."

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Lieu Uyen Nhu's face. But very quickly, she smiled again.

"Are you still angry about yesterday? It's all my fault. You shouldn't have touched your phoenix."

She put the bowl of porridge on the table and walked closer to me.

"Sister, the day after tomorrow is already a day of great joy. You must not harm your body because of anger."

"Liu Uyen Nhu, when did you start calling my father 'uncle'?"

She stopped.

"Since... I've been called that since I was little."

"Your name is Lieu, you have no blood relationship with my father. Your mother is just a neighbor of my father's distant cousin, not even a relative."

"Sister... why are you suddenly saying these things..."

"I'm asking you, when did you say those two words 'uncle'?"

Lieu Uyen Nhu took half a step back.

"The old man told me to call you that. Sister, what's wrong with you today?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"You really don't understand?"

I stood up, pulled out a piece of paper from under my pillow, and opened it right in front of her. That's the copy I copied last night from the dowry transfer record in father's study. I have kept the real copy carefully. What I showed her was just a copy.

"Recognize these?"

Lieu Uyen Nhu lowered her head and took a look. His face immediately turned pale.

"Sister... what are you doing..."

"You want to ask me how I know, right?"

"Then let me show you something else."

I took out a copy of the letter from my chest and read it to her word by word.

"Everything has been prepared. On the day we get married, you just need to follow the plan."

Lieu Uyen Nhu's face turned from white to blue, then from blue to red.

"You ransacked my uncle's study room?"

"You... you're not filial!"

"Unfilial?"
