Chapter 4 — On the Day of Judgment, I Jumped into the Lake to Escape the Tribulation

The few people from earlier returned, talking in low voices as they walked:

"It's a pity, it's a pity. That dose of medicine won't be light, and I don't know who will end up being more comfortable——"

Before the words were finished, the other person saw So Hanh and the sound immediately stopped. Several people looked at each other, the expressions on each of their faces were extremely unique. Taking advantage of So Hanh's distraction, I suddenly pulled away from his hand, took a step back, and politely bowed:

“Your Highness, there is a foreigner here, I will take my leave first.”

Having finished speaking, I didn't wait for So Hanh to react, so I turned around and quickly left. Behind him came So Hanh's voice, he tried to suppress his anger:

“You guys, what did you mean by those words just now?”

The young master of the Chu family smiled wryly a few times:

"Your Highness, don't be angry, we just want to vent our anger for you. Haven't you always said that the little lady in that palace is not at peace? Let's think about helping you teach her a lesson -—"

“Who gave you permission to touch her?”

So Hanh's voice suddenly rose.

“Don't you remind us every day that she's no good…”

“Shut up!”

When I returned to my residence, my sister was standing guard outside the door waiting for me. As soon as she saw my whole body wet and wearing a man's outer robe, my sister's face instantly turned pale.

"Tri Nhi, what's wrong? Who is bullying you?"

My sister immediately pulled me into her arms and hugged me tightly. I hugged her, smelled the familiar scent of soapberry on her body, my tears finally couldn't hold back any longer and fell. In our previous life, we two sisters were tormented time and time again by both the upper and lower levels of the Hou palace. Mrs. Hou was right in front of everyone in the palace, scolding me and my sister for being fox spirits that seduce men. She said that we two sisters, one serving the father, one serving the son, are truly shameless. The day she passed away, she was not yet thirty years old. He grabbed my hand and said:

"Tri Nhi, you're sorry to me, you shouldn't have brought me to the Marquis's mansion."

But actually, the person who is at fault with my sister is me. If it weren't for wanting to feed me, you wouldn't have entered the Marquis's mansion to be the Marquis's concubine. That year, I was six years old and my sister was fifteen years old. During his inauguration, his parents were infected with the disease, and in just three short days, both of them passed away. People from the clan came to confiscate the family's property, saying that girls were just money-grabbing goods, and then kicked my sister and me out of the house. I still clearly remember that day, my sister tied her hair in a woman's bun, squatted down in front of me, gently wiped my tears, smiled and said:

"Don't cry, sister. You're about to go to a rich house to enjoy good days. From now on, you can also follow me to eat well and dress beautifully."

But Mrs. Hau was originally a jealous person. During the years her sister entered the Hau palace, she never suffered less. For nearly ten years, I watched with my own eyes as my sister, from a young girl as delicate as water, was gradually eroded into a pale-faced, emaciated concubine. She never complained to me. But I have seen the bruises on her body, I have seen her late nights sitting alone by the window quietly shedding tears. saw her limp appearance after being punished by Mrs. Hau to kneel. I can't do anything, I can only live very carefully and cautiously, step by step like walking on thin ice, without causing any more trouble for you. I used to think that when I got married and married someone else, I would definitely take my sister and leave this place. But in the end, I still caused you a disaster as big as heaven.

"Sister, let's leave the Hau palace, leave these people. Go to a place where no one knows us, let's live peaceful days together."

Sister was stunned for a moment, then smiled and gently patted my back:

"What stupid words are you talking about? You're already a member of the Marquis, how can you leave?"

Can leave. In this life, I must take my sister out of here. After crying, my sister helped me change into dry clothes and personally cooked a bowl of ginger soup for me to drink.
