Chapter 1 — My Sister Didn't Want To Get Married, My Parents Immediately Pushed Me Into The Palette

My Sister Didn't Want To Get Married, My Parents Immediately Pushed Me Onto The Palanquin I was the concubine of the Luu family, with a lowly status, not respected by anyone. Originally planning to marry someone, I just wanted to have a place to rely on to get by. Who would have thought that my sister's fiance - the eldest daughter - met with an accident in the middle of the road: she was poisoned, fell off her horse, and became a crippled person. My sister lived and died refusing to marry, so my parents pushed me to take her place. That day, when the two families met, he - Luong Tuy An - with clear but calm eyes, asked me:

"Miss Liu Ngu, I'm sick now, my legs are bad, like this... are you really willing to marry me?"

I did not avoid it and replied:

“Little Marquis, I don't have any good husbands to choose from.”

“If you don't mind, I will wholeheartedly take care of you for the rest of my life.”

"If... if unfortunately you go first, I will go to the nun's hermitage and chant Buddha's name every day to pray for your blessings."

He laughed softly, that smile was as gentle as the spring breeze passing through the willow canopy, from then on it also engraved a peaceful life in my heart. I am the daughter born of a maid who returned to my wife's dowry. Just because my mother had a beautiful appearance, when she was not in the palace, my father used coercion. My wife thought it was my mother who seduced him, and from then on she often beat and scolded him without mercy and whipped him without mercy. Not long after, the mother discovered she was pregnant. The lady was so angry that she threw the tea cup on the table and gritted her teeth in anger. When his father saw his wife so angry, he had originally intended to take his mother in as his concubine, but quickly gave it up. From that day on, in your eyes, my mother became a thorn that couldn't be pulled out, a nail stuck deep in her heart. While pregnant with me, my mother still had to do all the hard work in the palace. In the eighth month of her pregnancy, while washing clothes by the well, she slipped and fell, leading to premature birth. The midwife picked me up like a kitten. Seeing me weak and pale, she turned to ask the lady what to do. The lady just glanced over, with a disgusted look on her face, and said indifferently:

“If it's still alive, let it live; if it's not alive, throw it away.”

But I have a great life, so I can hold on between the gates of life and death. Not long after her mother gave birth, her wife used an excuse to chase her out to a farm outside the city. That place was deserted and remote, and eventually she died of illness. I have never met my mother once. Growing up, I was raised by my nanny. My nanny is a gentle person, and has been taking care of me and teaching me all these years. In the Luu family residence, there are a few other sisters, all of whom are second children like me, and we live together in the Phong courtyard. But the difference is - they have a mother, while I only have a nanny as my only support. Their mothers often said that I was an evil creature born from a fox spirit, so all of my sisters shunned me and no one wanted to play with me. We only have three small rooms deep in the Feng Yuan, decorated so simply that there is nothing of value. Every time there is a storm or heavy rain, the roof leaks everywhere, making the bed wet and cold. The only thing left for me and the nanny to do is to ask the housekeeper, hoping he will send someone to repair the roof. Usually, the butler nodded in agreement, but then turned around and left without even bothering to pay attention. We have to bite He took some scraps of silver and gave them to the soldiers, asking them to temporarily patch up a few places. Patching here, patching there, patching back and forth, nothing works. No matter how hard I tried, it couldn't compare to the living room of a young lady in Liu Palace. Later, we gradually grew up. Things like climbing onto the roof, I grit my teeth and do it myself. Every time that happened, the nanny turned pale with worry and her voice trembled:

"My lady, let me do it! What if you fall down?"

I patted my chest and chuckled:

"Nanny, Song Nhi has grown up! She's as fast as a monkey, more agile than people. Please see clearly!"

Having said that, I climbed the ladder, walked along the tiled roof. With my hands and feet gingerly, I picked up each piece of tile blown away by the wind and pressed it tightly to make it neat. When I climbed down, my nanny ran to hug me tightly, her face tense, repeatedly asking if I was scared. As soon as my hand touched her palm, I felt only cold sweat. I raised my head and smiled brightly like the sun:

"Look, I'm fine. Not only did it get fixed, but I also saved fifty bucks of money!"

Hearing that, my nanny patted my head, her voice gently scolding me:

“Don't do that anymore, you should have the appearance of a lady.”
