Chapter 5 — My sister changed her concubine, I was reborn to reclaim my fate

Father glared at me fiercely, then turned around and hurried towards the front yard. I followed quietly. There was no one left to stop me, the two ladies were frozen in place by the commotion in the front yard. Walking through the covered hallway, around the screen, the scene in the front yard immediately caught your eye. Lieu Uyen Nhu was sitting neatly in the middle of the main hall, wearing a dark red dress, a phoenix crown on her head, a scarf on her shoulders, and her face with exquisite makeup. Several of her maids stood around in a circle, one holding a fan, one holding a mirror, another holding a cup of tea. The main gate is expanded. Outside... Crowded with people. At the head was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a square appearance, wearing the civilian clothes of a fourth-rank martial artist. Behind him were more than ten families of the Dinh Vien Marquis palace, each carrying long swords at their waists, divided into two neat rows. It's not the team that comes to pick up the bride. The team came to question the crime. That middle-aged man is the chief butler of Dinh Vien Hau palace. In my previous life... I met him once. That's when I was pulled straight out of the Hau palace. He stood in front of the gate, coldly watching me fall to the ground. But in this life... Those cold eyes... It's time to change people to look at. His parents quickly stepped up to welcome him.

"Butler Chu, you're here. Please come in."

"The auspicious hour is almost here, why haven't you seen the Crown Prince yet?"

Chu Duc did not move at all. There wasn't even a trace of smile on his face.

"Master Gu, Lady Hou has a few words for me to pass on."

The smile on his father's face immediately couldn't be held anymore.

"What words?"

"Lady Hau said that in the past, the engagement agreement between her and the Second Miss of the Luc family was to propose to marry the eldest daughter of the Luc family, whose name was Co Niem Khanh."

"Lady Hou wants to ask Lord Gu a question."

"The lady will step onto the palanquin tomorrow..."

"Finally..."

"Is it Co Niem Khanh or not?"

Quiet as a sheet. Lieu Uyen Nhu sat in the main hall, her body slightly stiff. The father forced a smile.

"Butler Chu really knows how to joke."

"The person sitting in the main hall is young lady Niem Khanh."

"Who is the bride tomorrow? You just need to come in and see."

"No need to come in."

Chu Duc reached out and took out an item from his chest. A marriage letter. He stood straight, turned the marriage letter towards his father.

"This is the marriage document that was drawn up by the Second Miss Luc and the Marquis of my house in the past."

"On it are the Luc family's bronze seal and the Marquis's seal."

"This is in Lord Gu's hands..."

"Just a copy."

"Lady Hau said."

"It's written very clearly on this marriage certificate."

"The bidder..."

"She is the daughter of Luc Thi Minh Chau, Co Niem Khanh."

"Not anyone else."

The smile on his father's face... Completely frozen. In the main hall, Lieu Uyen Nhu also slowly stood up.

"I'm sorry..."

"What's going on?"

Her voice is still very sweet. But when the transmission reached the door... It completely changed its position. Chu Duc slightly raised his chin and looked at the figure wearing a red outfit in the main hall.

"Is it the girl that Lord Co intended to marry into the Dinh Vien Marquis palace?"

"Madam Hou still has a second sentence for me to pass on."

"You said..."

Chu Duc's eyes slowly scanned everyone present, finally landing on his father.

"If the person married by the Dinh Vien Marquis palace is not right Co Niem Khanh himself..."

"So this marriage is deceiving the Marquis Palace, deceiving the Luc family, and also deceiving the world."

"The Marquis Palace does not hesitate to submit this matter to the royal court. Please ask His Majesty to judge personally."

His father's legs were weak, he had to hold on to the door frame to stand steady. Lieu Uyen Nhu's face was pale, even paler than the pearls on her head. The maids all shrunk their necks, their smiles and voices from before had completely disappeared. Silence. Chu Duc took out another item from his chest. A white jade cicada. Just like the jade cicada lying in my chest.

"Lady Hau said, you have already seen the Luc family's token."

"Now..."

"Someone wants to meet..."

"The real Co Niem Khanh."

I stood at the bend in the hallway. The distance to the front hospital is only about twenty steps. She was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday, her hair was loose, her face was unwashed, and the soles of her shoes were still covered in mud. Compared to Lieu Uyen Nhu, who is wearing a royal phoenix uniform... I am as disheveled as a beggar. I hold the jade cicada tight in my chest. Step by step... Step by step... Slowly step out. The moment he saw me, Chu Duc immediately looked at me from top to bottom. He leaned to the side and raised his hand in an inviting gesture.
