Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — My sister changed her concubine, I was reborn to reclaim my fate
The family behind simultaneously separated to the two sides, giving way to a road. At the end of that road... A palanquin carried by four people was steadily stopping. The palanquin's curtain was gently lifted by the people inside. A white hand reached out from inside the palanquin. On her wrist she wears a string of blue jade. Lieu Uyen Nhu's face immediately changed. I stared at that hand. The blood in his body seemed to rush up. The palanquin curtain was completely pulled aside. The person sitting in the palanquin... In my previous life... I only ever saw her name on the tablet.
"Is it Niem Khanh?"
"Come here..."
"Let me look at you."
That voice carried the soft tone typical of the Jiangnan river region, slow and gentle, as if it was just asking a very normal question. All the people present in the hospital raised their heads at the same time. I step forward. When stopping in front of the palanquin, the hand wearing the jade necklace gently placed it on my shoulder. The person sitting in the palanquin was a woman in her fifties, her sideburns were gray, her appearance was thin, but her eyes were unusually bright. She looked at me for a long time. About three breaths. Suddenly... The corners of my eyes turned red.
"It's really similar."
"It's exactly the same shape as Minh Chau when he was young."
She reached into her sleeve, took out a white jade tick, and placed it next to the jade tick in my chest on her palm. The pattern is identical. Dimensions are identical. Even the engravings at the bottom... Are identical.
"The Luc clan's lineage, recognized by jade cicadas."
"That's right then."
She put away the jade cicada, slowly stood up, and was helped down from the palanquin by the maid. Chu Duc immediately stepped up.
"Miss Marquis."
"No need to be polite."
Mrs. Hou gently waved her hand, her eyes passed over her, landing on her father.
"Master Gu."
"I originally intended to save you some dignity."
"But what you did..."
"Not worthy."
Father moved his lips. Couldn't utter a word. At the main hall door, Lieu Uyen Nhu's legs were weak, she had to rely on the maid's support to barely stand. Mrs. Hau... Not even a glance... Didn't even bother to give her.
"Nem Khanh."
"Are you willing to marry into my Marquis' palace?"
My throat is tight. In my previous life... I knelt down and begged them to take me back. Please... Give me a chance. No one cares. It was they who took the initiative to come find me.
"I wish."
Mrs. Hau nodded slightly.
"That's good."
"The marriage period remains the same."
"You must marry..."
"Also return to your correct position."
She looked at Lieu Uyen Nhu again.
"She is wearing the dress of the Luc family's granddaughter..."
Lieu Uyen Nhu's face immediately distorted in the blink of an eye. She suddenly turned to look at her father. The father still stood motionless. His face was gray. Even if he could even take a look at her... He was gone. I turned around to look at Lieu Uyen Nhu.
"Didn't you tell me to accept my destiny?"
"So now..."
"You should accept your destiny..."
Lieu Uyen Nhu bit her lower lip. Determined not to move. The maids cowered behind her. I don't even dare to breathe hard. Mrs. Hou did not urge her at all. She just stood there calmly. Calmly as if waiting for a dish to be offered. About half a cup of tea. Finally... Lieu Uyen Nhu also put her hands down.
"I'm not taking it off."
She looked up head, red eyes looking at Mrs. Hau.
"Miss Marquis."
"This marriage was arranged by the Co family."
"The happy dress was prepared by the Co family."
"Even the phoenix official..."
"It was also given to me by the Co family."
"The uncle said."
"I am the daughter of the Co family."
"I married there..."
"Reputation and integrity."
"Then just go back and ask your 'uncle'."
"See now..."
"Does he dare say that again?"
Mrs. Hau still did not bother to raise her head. Everyone's eyes... simultaneously focused on the father. His lips trembled slightly.
"The Marquis... The Marquis..."
"This..."
"There's a bit of a misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstanding?"
Only then... Madam Hou really looked straight at him.
"The business cards were swapped by you."
"The family tree is yours to fix."
"Even the late wife's dowry..."
"It was also because you personally transferred it to this girl."
"So..."
"And you still call it a misunderstanding?"
Father's last bit of blood disappeared from his face.
"Do you think I don't know these things?"
"When Minh Chau was still alive, she told me that you were someone not worth trusting."
"She told me to keep the original marriage certificate, just in case for today."
"Unexpected..."
"In the end, she still guessed right."
Those words were like nails pinning his father in place. His mouth kept opening and closing. Just like a fish out of water.
