Chapter 7
Chapter 7 — My sister changed her concubine, I was reborn to reclaim my fate
Seeing that her father had no support left, Lieu Uyen Nhu suddenly made a "thump" sound and knelt down to the ground.
"The Marquis..."
"Please open a way for me to live."
"It's all because my uncle told me to do it."
"I'm just an unselfish person."
She cried until her eyes were filled with tears and runny nose. She reached out her hand to grab the hem of Mrs. Hau's dress. Mrs. Hau just slightly leaned to one side. Even the corner of the skirt... Don't let her touch it.
"You have nothing to do with me."
"How does Master Gu plan to arrange you..."
"It's the family's business."
She turned her head to look at me.
"Nem Khanh."
"Excited..."
"I'll go get it myself."
"Tomorrow morning, on Dragon time."
"The palanquin will come to pick you up."
"Butler Zhou."
Chu Duc bowed and replied. The family turned around in unison. Lady Hau stepped onto the palanquin again. Kieu is gone. People also scattered. The red silk is still hanging. The lantern is still on. But the atmosphere in the whole institute... Has completely reversed. The maids were laughing and chattering just now, but now everyone bowed their heads. No one dares to look at me. Lieu Uyen Nhu was still kneeling on the ground. Not a single person came to help her up. Father held the door frame and entered the room. From beginning to end... Without saying a word. I slowly walked in front of Lieu Uyen Nhu. She raised her head to look at me. In those eyes, besides tears... There was another emotion. But in the end... She still said nothing. Just quietly stood up and walked into the interior by myself. A moment later... The maids happily walked out. Phuong Quan. Not a single item is missing. We accept each item one by one. Embrace it wholeheartedly. It's what my mother left me. No one... Can take it away. That night, I meticulously checked every needle and thread on the dress. There were no signs of any hands or feet being touched, Lieu Uyen Nhu still had no time to play tricks on this happy outfit. Mother Trieu also returned, sat at the head of the bed, carefully smoothing each tassel on the phoenix coffin for me.
"Miss, tomorrow is a day of great joy."
"Tell me, how much face does my mother have in front of Mrs. Hou?"
Trieu ma ma thought for a moment.
"Your mother and Mrs. Hou are loyal friends. The two families have been in contact for many generations. Mrs. Hau is a person who values gratitude very much. In the past, when your mother got married, she gave an additional thirty-six burdens of dowry, even more solemn than when she married her own daughter."
"Thirty-six loads."
I remember that number. The next morning, right on Dragon time, the palanquin indeed arrived on time. The large palanquin was carried by eight people, sixteen people blew trumpets and played drums, and Dinh Vien Hau's family rode horses to open the way. Compared to the previous life... The bride's reception this time is twice as big. When I put on my uniform and walked out of the room, the whole yard was unusually quiet. The people who were competing yesterday to be a maid and dowry for Lieu Uyen Nhu, today no one showed up. Father... was also not present. The manager said he used the excuse of being seriously ill to meet guests. The biological father did not send his daughter out of marriage. Would it be pleasant to hear if the news was spread out... He no longer had the heart to care anymore. On the contrary, several clan elders came here with polite smiles on their faces.
"Niem Khanh, your father is not feeling well, so he asked us to help him see you off to marriage."
"Fu Dinh Vien Hau is a good place, after going there, remember to live happily."
It sounds even better than singing. In a previous life, they were also present here. Look at Lieu Uyen Nhu marrying for me. To the point of saying "this is not right"... Never said it. I don't answer. Just carry a dress... Step onto the palanquin. Right at the moment the palanquin curtain fell... Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a pink shadow passing by in the corner of the hallway. Lieu Uyen Nhu... Looking at me. Haven't left yet. I sat in the palanquin for half an hour. The bridal party went from the west of the citadel to Dinh Vien Hau palace in the east of the citadel. In front of the gate of Dinh Vien Hau's palace, there were more than twenty carriages and horses parked. Guests coming to the ceremony... There were a lot more people than we thought. When the palanquin curtain was lifted... The first person that caught my eye... Was a young man. He was wearing a dark brocade robe and a white jade belt around his waist. His face was cold and handsome, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. It is my husband. Crown Prince Dinh Vien Marquis. Tham Hoai Du. In my previous life... You and I never officially met. He looked at me. I also took a look at him. He slowly raised his hand towards me.
"Let's go in."
Dinh Vien Hau Palace is more than three times larger than Co Palace. From the main gate to the main hall, it takes nearly half a minute to get there.
