Chapter 1 — Nha Hoan Escaped From Second Family

The young master became married. He arranged extremely nice "places" for the maids in the room. Xuan Dao was beautiful and seductive, and was taken to Thanh Lau to become a beauty queen. Ha Ha was weak and meek, and was married to a seventy-year-old old man as his next wife. Thu Que, who has wide hips, was given to a death row prisoner to continue the family name. When it was my turn, he rubbed his forehead and looked at the young lady next to him:

"Thin Tuyet is still young, I'm sure you can handle her."

In the young lady's dignified smile, I knew I should find a way to live. So when the bandits shot a stray arrow, I rushed out to help, saving the old lady's life. The young master's peachy eyes immediately filled with laughter:

“It looks like I'm really going to have another concubine in my room.”

I held my lower abdomen, which was constantly bleeding, gently knelt down, begging the old lady to let me attend to the young master's disabled leg.

“Crack” sound.

The young master broke the fan in his hand.

The day the second young master Ta Lan Dinh got married, the four maids were all extremely happy. The young master once said that when the young lady enters the door, he will raise all four of us to be concubines. Xuan Dao curved her soft waist like a water snake, pointing to each person in turn:

“From now on, we will be Concubine Xuan, Concubine Ha, Concubine Thu.”

When she pointed to me, she stopped for a moment and smiled:

"Oh, it's not Concubine Dong, it's Concubine Tuyet. Because... skin is whiter than snow!"

My face immediately turned red. At that time, the young master named the maids, originally planning to use spring, summer, autumn, winter and the four seasons of flowers as names. But when it was my turn, his eyes fell on the exposed neck when I bowed my head. He was silent for a long time. I felt uneasy, thinking I had upset him, and was about to kowtow to admit my mistake when he spoke:

“Calling Dong Mai sounds vulgar.”

His cold fingertips gently stroked my neck a few times.

“If your skin is whiter than snow, then call it Thinh Tuyet.”

The three of them have always liked to use that to tease me. The room was suddenly bustling. The mother next to the old lady walked in. Everyone quickly stopped laughing and went to the young master's wedding room to serve her. I go last. Mama called me back and told me to come and pay respect to the Buddha with the old lady. The three of them laughed and winked at me:

"Good girl, Thinh Tuyet, wait until the sisters get the candy and share it with me."

It was almost morning when the old lady let me leave. I rubbed my tired eyes, pinched my arms a few times to wake myself up, and intended to go and wait for the young master and young lady to wash their faces and comb their hair. The old lady, who had closed her eyes to rest, suddenly spoke from behind me:

“Go back and rest. You don't need to serve them this morning.”

I can rest assured to get some sleep. When I woke up, it was already afternoon. The three sisters were nowhere to be seen, and the blankets on the bed were not disturbed at all. It's broken! I fell asleep. I hurriedly ran to the young master's room. While passing by the garden, someone called back:

“Hurry, hurry, where are you going?”

Are you a young master? Why is he sitting in the pavilion pouring wine and drinking? Her blue brocade shirt with hidden patterns swayed slightly, her black hair was only loosely tied with a jade brooch. The pale moonlight covered his pale face with a layer of darkness. Like a beautiful demon with an indestructible soul. I hastily performed the ceremony.

“Second master, this servant is planning to come to serve you and the young lady rest."

He smiled, reached out and pulled me into his arms.

“No need to go. She's already asleep, you stay with me."

Long slender fingers wiped the sweat from my forehead, then stopped at the button at my neck and slowly took it off. He must have not been in the mood last night. But here... I pushed his arm:

“Second master, this is a flower garden…”

He didn't care, just snorted softly.

“Shh, quiet. Seeing the snow under the moon makes sense..."

The hem of the shirt was immediately opened. The cold stone surface made me unable to stop shivering. The ends of his long, narrow eyes were tinged with a contemptuous smile.

“Thin Tuyet, you know that. I still can't bear to leave you."

... Until the east dawns. I wrapped my clothes tightly and hurried back to the room. There is a person sitting in the room. She wore a long dress made of bright red rattan brocade, with a noble peony in her hair. I immediately guessed her identity. That is the second young lady Do Cam Duong whom I have never met.

“The slave asks for peace, young lady.”

She didn't speak, just looked down from above, assessing me. I knelt on the ground, not daring to move, a cold sweat gradually broke out on my back. She asked:

“How many times last night?”

“What… what?”

I don't really understand. Mother Sun followed her from her mother's house and raised her hand to slap me.

“Still pretending to be naive! The young lady asked how many times you served the young master last night!”

I froze in place, so embarrassed that my face turned red. I gritted my teeth and replied:

“Three times.”

Do Cam Duong smiled faintly:

“You are truly loved by him.”

She picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“Teach her the rules.”

Before I could react, my finger was grabbed by Mother Ton. An inch-long sewing needle stabbed straight under the nail. Pain!
