Chapter 3 — No Date to Meet Again

"What happened? Why are you so panicked and rushed in your letter?" I gently patted the back of my aunt's hand to reassure her, then told her all of my father's dirty plans without missing a word. After hearing this, the aunt was both frightened and angry, and could only repeatedly curse: "Ta Nghi Nam, this shameless old man! And yet he dares to come up with such an unscrupulous plan as 'Plums instead of withered peaches'." "If I really let him be satisfied, then my poor sister Thu knows how to live!" I smiled slightly and bitterly, everyone understood that if I married there according to my father's arrangements, it would be no different. step into the path of death. It's just that my father didn't care at all. For him, just having a daughter marry into the Marquis' Palace to maintain a superficially friendly relationship was more than enough. As for whether that woman lives or dies, it doesn't matter. My aunt spoke up to comfort me: "Don't worry, I have in my hand the marriage contract between you and Wei Du, tomorrow I will force Wei Du to marry you." "After all, Wei Du is currently a bachelor, and has the marriage certificate to prove it. If your father still knows how to save some dignity, he will absolutely not dare to be so brazen as to give up his debt." Auntie's work is really very quick and decisive. After leaving my hospital, she stayed up all night to shop and prepare an extremely generous bride price. The next day, she took Wei Du solemnly to Ta palace to propose. Marriage letters, concubines, and tokens of the past were all present, and the bride-price was carefully prepared and so solemn that it was impossible to refute it. Father was so angry that he turned pale for half a day, but could not find a legitimate reason to refuse this marriage. My sister also suddenly appeared, using a firm tone to force her father to agree to marry me to Wei Du, otherwise she would immediately cancel the engagement with Luong Sam. His father was in a dilemma. He was afraid that if he escalated the matter, both daughters would rot in his hands. In a situation where there was no feasible solution, he had to grit his teeth and nodded in agreement to marry me to Nguy Du, while his sister married herself to the Marquis Palace. In order not to affect Wei Du's preparations for the exam, his and my wedding period was scheduled for the time after the Electric exam. It turns out that it's about half a month later than my sister's wedding date. Even though everything has now been decided smoothly, in my heart I still carry some anxiety and restlessness. To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, during that time I did not dare to step out of the door, I just stayed in my small courtyard to feel secure in preparing the dowry for marriage. On the contrary, Wei Du, every few days he sent someone to send beautiful little toys to please the girl. Sometimes it's sweet cakes, sometimes it's delicate, beautiful brooches. Every time I receive a gift, I will write a letter back to him. In the letter, I always told him to study with peace of mind and do his best to achieve good results. Actually, in my previous life, I had the opportunity to meet Wei Du in the capital. At that time, he was nominated by the golden board, passed his PhD and was retained in the capital to be appointed as an official. That time was one of the rare occasions when Luong Sam was willing to take me with him to attend a banquet, but right at the banquet, he criticized my clothes for being too promiscuous and immodest. "As a woman of a noble family, the most important thing is to be presentable, why would you choose to wear eye-catching pink colors?"

like this, for outsiders to laugh at and gossip about. "I knew very well that he didn't like me to dress too beautifully and brightly, so that day I deliberately chose a dress that was a bit worn out. Who would have thought that he could still find a loophole to degrade and humiliate my honor. I was so angry that I couldn't help but open up a few words to argue with him: "Some of the ladies sitting here also wear colorful, brilliant clothes, are they all? Are we all being laughed at?" Luong Sam was so embarrassed that he became angry, pointed his finger straight at my face and shouted: "No matter how brightly people dress, their character still exudes dignity and gentleness, not like the promiscuous, self-contemptuous type like you!" After saying that, he directly waved his shirt and left first, leaving me alone in the middle of the crowd. It wasn't until I struggled to get out that I discovered his chariot. The Marquis took Luong Sam away a long time ago. He left me alone, standing bewildered, with my arms and legs flustered in the cold wind in front of the other man's palace. Later, Wei Du himself saw my pitiful appearance and took the initiative to let me ride. He had delicate eyebrows, warm eyes, and used an extremely gentle tone to help me: "If Mrs. Luong doesn't criticize me, please sit in the carriage. Let's go back to the palace, the mansion is not far from here, I'll just walk home." At that moment, I always thought to myself, if in the past he could have come a little earlier, it would have been nice. How lucky, in this life, he actually came very early. 07. Luong Sam once again paid homage to the Ta mansion, he and his father talked in secret for a very long time. After he left, his father My father immediately ordered the butler to call me to the study room to meet him. I suppressed the uneasiness that was churning in the bottom of my heart and stood quietly in the study room like an inanimate display item. Father stared at me and let out a long, heavy sigh: "Ky Thu, do you know what the little marquis came here today to ask for something?" I lowered my eyelashes without uttering a word. What a good omen. Father didn't even bother waiting for an answer from me, he continued to speak himself: "He said that after your sister stepped into the Marquis Palace, he wanted to take you in to be his concubine." "My father knew from the beginning that he had feelings for you, if from the beginning you had followed my father's arrangement and married him, he would have already captured his heart." I need to worry day and night that the sister you married will suddenly get sick and cause a huge disaster." My heart immediately became clear like a mirror, Luong Sam had indeed come back to life. He could not bear to let go of the white moon light in his heart, wanting to make up for the regrets of his previous life, but on the other hand, he was greedy and infatuated with this beautiful appearance of mine. In this life, he actually wanted to come up with a plan to make friends and friends happy and enjoy it. I pretended to be frightened to the point of crying, trembling and saying: "Father has already promised his daughter to marry someone, he should not be a two-timing fisherman, standing on this mountain looking at that mountain like that." "Wei Langjun is after all a talented person with great potential who will be nominated on the gold list, I respectfully ask father to consider it carefully." Father snorted a cold laugh, with a hint of regret in his tone. The hatred is inconsolable: "Your father naturally knows that you already have a marriage status, there is no need for a turn

You have to deliberately open your mouth to remind him." "It's just that my father was afraid that an unexpected event would happen to your sister's marriage, so she silently told the little maquis that you were getting married, and only told him to wait until after he and your sister got married to discuss this matter." "You absolutely must not say a word about this matter to your sister, lest it agitate her mind and make her go crazy again." From now on, you will be busy. The last time she suddenly appeared, her father had ordered layers and layers of guards to guard her, not to go out or to enter. I had no way to approach her, let alone convey news to her. However, my father's words were like a calming pill that poured straight into my heart, helping me relieve my burden Wei Du has already been announced to the public. Even if the Marquis is extremely powerful and noble, Luong Sam absolutely does not have the courage to force the fiancee of a new PhD graduate to become his concubine. However, Luong Sam seems to believe that my entering the door to become his concubine is already a nail in the coffin. He constantly orders his close servants to bring him all kinds of jewelry precious and splendid clothes, sometimes even forcing the errand boy to send me nauseating words: "Second Miss, my house's little maquis said that these clothes are extremely suitable for your appearance. As a concubine, you usually don't need to go out to socialize or pay respects, just dress beautifully and splendidly and that's fine." "From now on, the task of shouldering and beautifying the face of the Marquis Temple will automatically be taken care of by your sister. I just threw all those dirty things out right in front of the close servant sent by Luong Sam. However, Luong Sam deluded himself, thinking that I was just angry, making fun of him, so I remained happy, persistently sending people to bring things to me without getting tired. The days were long and tormented. I finally gritted my teeth and endured it. During this time, Wei Du continuously participated in the Association exam and the Electrical exam, all of which achieved extremely brilliant and resounding achievements. The day the group's ranking was posted, I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw his name He continued to be in the top ten of the Second Giap and was officially selected to join the Han Academy to hold the position of Deputy Civilian. Although this position is currently only a lowly seventh-ranked official, the Han Academy is famous for being the most noble place, and my father also expressed great satisfaction and satisfaction with this achievement. 08. The day of great joy, the marriage between his sister and Luong Sam was finally solemnized. On the day before the wedding, my father still ordered no one to enter the hospital to visit my sister. Even the loyal relatives who usually had a very close relationship with my sister came to see her off and give extra gifts. My mother alone was the one to welcome and entertain me in the main hall

Just a few heartfelt words, it's just a pity that my father was guarding me as strictly as he was guarding against being robbed by a thief. The moment my sister was about to step out of the house, my father arbitrarily found an excuse to lock the door tightly, locking me in his small hospital. He used flowery words to make excuses, saying that he was afraid that Luong Sam seeing me would stir up bad things again, ruining the joyful atmosphere of the great day. I sat alone with my knees tied up in a room located in a remote, lonely corner of Ta Palace, silently listening to the loud music of drums and drums, the bustling joy outside resounded loudly and then gradually diminished, disappearing in the distance. In this life, the two of us have finally followed the correct trajectory that we should be on to steadily move forward.
