Chapter 3 — On the Day of Marriage, I Married the Wrong Person to the Right Person

This morning, I saw a new wound on his hand. Finally, I couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?" His hands momentarily stopped while tying the belt of his shirt, and he only replied: "Of course he is your husband."

“What else?”

The silence lasted for a long time.

“Mr. Hoa, there are some things I don't want to hide from you, but I don't want to drag you into them even more.”

I won't ask anymore. During my lifetime, I understood very well that the court was a bottomless puddle. The struggle between Tuc Vuong and Tinh Vuong is becoming more and more fierce, perhaps Ly Ngon Chi is helping Tuc Vuong handle things... that cannot be brought to light. This is also common. Like his previous life, my father also secretly did many things for Tieu Vien Minh. We may not be very good at planning and scheming, but there is one thing we firmly hold in our hands - making money. Whether recruiting soldiers or winning people's hearts, silver is always indispensable. I'm not short of money, but I've been resurrected once, so how can I waste this knowledge of the future? So I often went to horse races and animal fights, silently placing bets. Just over a month later, I already have a decent amount of money in hand. Then he bought a few more stores in prime locations and even bought a few farms.

On the eighth day of the December month, in the palace, there was a banquet. As soon as Ly Ngon Chi and I arrived at the palace gate, we met the carriage of Tinh Vuong's palace. Lieu Nhu Mi wore a flower outfit, walking next to Tieu Minh Vien, looking dignified and gentle. Seeing me, she slowly walked forward: "Mr. Hoa, I heard that you married into the Ly family, I'm really... both surprised and happy." Strange, what is she happy about? It was just luck because the palanquin was swapped, fulfilling her dream of entering Tinh Vuong palace. Before, she didn't live well, and I always felt sorry for her; Now seeing her so glorious, I feel a little choked up in my heart. Is it true that, like the Noble Concubine and Tieu Vien Minh scolded me in my previous life, I am narrow-minded and can't stand others living better than me? Tieu Vien Minh stared at me, Ly Ngon Chi immediately took a half step forward, stood in front of me, bowed and bowed: "Meeting His Royal Highness King Tinh, Princess Trac." Tieu Vien Minh nodded faintly, without stopping much, leading Nhu Mi into the palace first. During the banquet, the sound of silk and bamboo echoed. Lieu Nhu Mi and Tieu Vien Minh talked in whispers, just like a couple in love. The more I look at it, the more I choke up, thinking about the last life of the Tham family's army that shed blood for him so he could win, thinking about every piece of money Nhu Mi borrowed from me...

Full of frustration, I left the banquet table and went to a quiet place in the apricot garden, but was stopped by someone. Tieu Vien Minh frowned: "Mr. Hoa, was the palanquin swap done by you?"

“Your Highness is joking, my father doesn't have that kind of ability.”

“Then why don't you go to the royal palace immediately?”

“Your Highness and Concubine Trac have already paid their respects, so if my father still comes, won't he be humiliating himself?”

"And yet you willingly agreed to marry Ly Ngon Chi! It is truly ruining your future. If you regret it, this king might still..."

“Your Highness, please respect yourself.” I interrupted in a cold voice.

His eyes darkened: "Do you really think Ly Ngon Chi is a good person? He married you, just because of the Tham family..."

“Your Highness, Anh Hoa.”

Ly Ngon Chi's voice rang out from the hallway. He looked calm, but his eyes were cold as ice. Tieu Vien Minh smiled faintly: "Ly Bien Tu is so courageous, even the king's fiancee dares to marry him." Ly Ngon Chi put me behind him and said: "No matter what, Anh Hoa is my wife. Your Highness is behaving like this, I'm afraid it's not polite." The two people's eyes met, in the silence the undercurrents rose, and finally Tieu Vien Minh waved his sleeves and left. Only then did Ly Ngon Chi turn back to look at me: "Is he making things difficult for you?" I shook my head: "He said you married me because of the Tham family. Is it true?" He was silent for a moment, then asked: "Do you believe it?"

“Whatever you say, I believe it.”

He suddenly laughed: "Mr. Hoa, if I said, I would marry you just because you are you, would you believe it?" I nodded slightly. Actually, believe it or not, what does it matter? Anyway, my last name is Tham, my father will always be my biggest supporter.

Thinking through this, my heart feels somewhat relieved. His eyes stopped on Tieu Dao standing next to him, a thought gradually appeared. Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or someone arranged it, that day I was in the palanquin, but she was outside. Even when worshiping, she was close by. It's not like she doesn't know Tinh Vuong's face. Saying that nothing unusual was discovered is really too reluctant. But from beginning to end, she didn't remind me even a single sentence. Let's forget about the palanquin matter, but in my previous life, she offered me a cup of poison. After I drank, my whole body convulsed, but she turned a blind eye as if she didn't see... It's truly cold, a maid dared to betray her master so many times, she couldn't hold back. Returning to the palace, I was still thinking about Tieu Dao's matter, but Ly Ngon Chi took the initiative and said he wanted to discuss it with me. In the flickering candlelight, his expression was more serious than ever.

"Mr. Hoa, I feel that Tieu Vien Minh married you, actually to pull the Tham family towards him, the purpose is to take over the power of the Tham family."

Of course we understand this. My father has won glorious victories, holds military power, and I am the only daughter under his knees. Tieu Vien Minh's ambition was burning, he proposed to me, how could he just because I was beautiful and smart.
