Chapter 4 — My sister changed her concubine, I was reborn to reclaim my fate

Mother Zhao's face immediately darkened.

"When returning... was seen by Thuy Binh."

Thuy Binh is a close maid of Lieu Uyen Nhu.

"Did he ask his mother where she was going?"

"The old slave said he was going to buy incense and candles. It seems... he didn't suspect it."

"It seems..."

I don't like those two words.

"Mom, don't go back to the little room tonight."

"Just stay here with me."

Trieu ma ma nodded and sat down behind the door. I lay on the bed, eyes wide open, looking up at the ceiling. All night long... Didn't sleep a wink. In the wee hours of the morning... I vaguely heard footsteps outside in the yard. Not just one person. They went back and forth... Several times. Someone is moving things. When the cock crowed... The yard was finally quiet again. When it was just dawn... A gong rang out, waking up the whole palace. It's the day Lieu Uyen Nhu got married. In the end, who will be the one to board the palanquin... Still unknown. As soon as it was dawn, the whole Co Palace was completely bustling. The maids and maids were constantly coming and going, the kitchen smoke had not gone out since it was still dawn. I was locked in the room, only hearing the sounds of laughter, congratulations, and dishes clashing outside. Everyone... Are busy because of Lieu Uyen Nhu. No one comes to visit me. Even breakfast... No one brought it. When it was time for the Snake, the door was suddenly pushed open. Entering were two ladies and a manager.

"Dear... Miss Gu, I told you to pack your luggage. The carriage is waiting at the back door."

Even the words "old lady"... They don't call me anymore.

"I'm not going."

"Miss Gu, the old man told me that if you don't cooperate, we will carry you away."

I'm still sitting still in the chair. Didn't move at all.

"Carry it."

"I want to see who is the first to dare to touch me."

The two ladies looked at each other. The person with a more muscular body took a step forward, reaching out to pull me. I immediately raised my foot and kicked hard. The table in front of him was knocked over, the teapot and teacups were broken all over the ground. The noise is too loud. People outside immediately poked their heads in to take a look. The manager's face was extremely unsightly.

"Miss Gu, today is a day of great joy. It's useless for you to cause trouble. This marriage no longer has anything to do with you."

"Who said it's not relevant?"

"Whose name is written on the royal notebook of Dinh Vien Marquis's palace?"

The manager immediately faltered.

"That... that was... arranged by the master..."

"Then you should try asking the people of Dinh Vien Marquis's palace..."

"Are they willing to accept that 'arrangement'?"

The manager wiped his sweat and quickly ran out. About an incense stick later... Father arrived. He was wearing a happy outfit, his face was full of smiles. But as soon as I entered my room... That smile immediately disappeared.

"Niem Khanh, what else do you want?"

"I'm not going anywhere."

"This marriage was decided by your mother."

"You must marry..."

"The marriage has been arranged."

"The bidder..."

"It's Uyen Nhu."

"No matter how noisy you are..."

"It can't be changed either."

"Then..."

"Let the people of Dinh Vien Marquis's palace come and say that."

A trace of insecurity flashed in his father's eyes. He walked in front of me, lowering his voice.

"Nem Khanh..."

"Have you been doing something secretly behind my back?"

I don't answer.

"Yesterday, Mother Zhao went out alone trip."

"Is it because you sent her?"

I still haven't said a word. His father's face completely darkened.

"Where are you?"

"Bring Mama Zhao here!"

Someone outside the door immediately responded, then quickly ran away. A moment later... That person hurriedly ran back.

"Old man..."

"Zhao ma ma... can't be seen anymore."

"Don't see?"

"What do you mean?"

"The small room is empty..."

"You... you ran away."

Father suddenly turned to look at me.

"Co Niem Khanh..."

"What did you end up doing?"

I raised my head to look at him. Don't say a single word. It was that silence... That scared him more than any words. He turned out the door and shouted loudly.

"Guard all gates tightly."

"Don't say you're human..."

"Not even a fly is allowed to fly out."

"At the same time, immediately go to the lobby to take a look..."

"Have the people from Dinh Vien Marquis' palace arrived yet?"

The words hadn't finished yet... In the distance, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded. Not just one. Which is a lot. The sound of iron hooves hitting the stone road surface was consistent, getting closer and closer. Father's face... Little by little... Pale. We quietly count in our hearts. Suddenly, a woman's screams rang out in the front yard.

"The people from Dinh Vien Marquis' palace have arrived!"

"But... but that's not right..."

"It doesn't look like he's coming to pick up the bride..."
