Chapter 5 — On the Day of Marriage, I Married the Wrong Person to the Right Person

Since childhood, she has been in love with Ly Ngon Chi, but she doesn't know why in the past the Ly family proposed to Nhu Mi. In her previous life, Ms. Luu finally brought Nhu Yen to Ly Ngon Chi's backyard. Because of this, Nhu Mi has repeatedly complained to me that Ms. Luu is biased. Speaking of which, I don't know how Tieu Dao is doing... she must have stayed at the Dong Vien last night. Also curious about what Ms. Luu's face will look like when she returns.

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the Ly family's palace gate, I saw Phuc Bo.

“Bless you?” I quickly walked over, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong with Dad?"

Uncle Phuc glanced at Ly Ngon Chi, waited for him to go a few steps away before lowering his voice: "Miss, you should hurry back and advise the General! It's almost Tet, yet the General insists on going to the border himself..." What? In his previous life, his father did go to the border, but it was because of Tieu Vien Minh, and he was also injured, so why did he have to go in this life? My heart sank, I quickly followed Phuc Bo back to Tham residence. Dad was standing in the study, looking intently at the border map.

"Mr. Hoa, you don't understand. Lately, the North has continuously violated the border, making me feel uneasy. Now that you're married, it's not the same anywhere we go to celebrate Tet!"

"Father, there are generals guarding the border, why do you need to go yourself? You have been guarding the border for many years, you should rest a bit."

Father snorted coldly: "Even you think I'm old and not strong enough to lead the army anymore?"

"How can you think like that? I'm just worried... my father is gone, if I get pregnant, and my mother-in-law takes the opportunity to bully me, who will I turn to for refuge?"

Father asked in surprise: "Are you pregnant?" I nodded. Actually it's just an excuse. In my previous life, I never got pregnant, so I took countless medications but it was useless. This life... well, right now keeping my father is the most important thing.

At night, Ly Ngon Chi came to pick me up. As soon as we entered the palace yard, we heard Mrs. Liu's shrill scolding:

“You bastard, you really have no shame!”

“Dare to seduce the old man, see if I will tear your face off!”

... I only saw Tieu Dao kneeling on the ground, her hair disheveled, her face clearly marked with slap marks. I said coldly: "Your mother-in-law beat your people, shouldn't you have told me first?"

"Your people? You even know that's your people!" Mrs. Liu glared at me, "Your people dare to climb into master's bed!"

I burst out laughing: "In something like that, can one hand clap make a sound? Maybe Tieu Dao was also forced." Mrs. Luu trembled angrily: "You're talking nonsense! You don't know how to keep your mouth shut, has it been a long time since anyone taught you?" Ly Ngon Chi quickly stepped forward to shield me: "Mother, what Anh Hoa said is not unreasonable."

“Ngon Chi, I'm really fascinated by it!” Mrs. Luu beat her chest and stomped her foot, "Her maid, climb into your father's bed!"

I said again: "Father takes care of politics, mother has to take care of housework and take care of her younger sister, mistakes are unavoidable. Adding a close person to serve father is also a good idea." Mrs. Liu was so angry that she was shaking: "You, you... what are you saying!" I hid behind Ly Ngon Chi, learning her tone from before: "You, you... did you say something wrong?" Wasn't she the one who used that excuse a few days ago to advise me to give Ly Ngon Chi a card? Ly Ngon Chi looked at Tieu Dao cowering on the ground: "Mother, let father decide this matter himself Go?"

“Ngon Chi! I raised you for so many years, do you repay me like that?” Ms. Luu immediately started crying.

I hastily continued: "So my mother didn't teach Ngon Chi well. For now, you should still focus on teaching your sister well.” Ly Ngon Chi turned and glared at me, signaling me to shut up. If you don't say it, don't say it. I pursed my lips and held back my words, just smiling at Mrs. Luu. She hugged her chest and cried. Ly Ngon Chi ordered someone to help her back to her room.

“That girl,” Ly Ngon Chi looked at me, helplessly said, “was it intentional, right?”

I calmly nodded: “That's right. What she does to me, that's what I repay."

In the end, her father-in-law still accepted Tieu Dao as his concubine. Mrs. Liu was so angry that she became sick for several days, and had to let Tieu Dao wait by her side. When I visited, a female doctor came out of the room, wearing a light-colored cotton dress and her hair in a simple hairstyle. Until now, I've only heard that the Ly family has a female doctor, but I've never met her. But with her voice, I was stunned after just hearing one sentence - I was so familiar with it. In my previous life, it was she who saved me, after I went blind, talking to me every day to comfort me - her sister. I never knew her appearance, nor did I know her name, I only called her "sister Dao", even though she later married my father, I still called her that.

“My Lady.” She walked over to bow to me, and my eyes suddenly became wet.

She smiled softly, her face was like a painting, even more beautiful than in my imagination. I always sent people to look for her, but I never had any clues, but I didn't expect to meet her unexpectedly like this. Seeing that she was about to leave, I quickly opened my mouth: "Sister Dao, I also feel unwell, can you help me check for a moment?"

“Okay.”

She replied gently. Inside, Mrs. Luu heard it and said bitterly: "Doctor Manh's medical skills are mediocre, using only cheap medicinal herbs. Mr. Hoa, if you are not well, you should tell General Tham to invite the royal physician in the Imperial Hospital." I smiled and walked over: “It's okay. Does your mother-in-law not know that the famous Te Tu Duong pharmacy in the city is your dowry? She was so angry that she glared at me. Why didn't she know? Yesterday the shopkeeper came to tell me that she wanted to record an old ginseng root in the Ly family's account, but I didn't agree. I glanced at Tieu Dao next to me, then softened my voice and said: "My mother-in-law is so sick, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to shoulder the preparations for the New Year's Eve party. Or... let me and Concubine Truong take care of it together, okay?" Tieu Dao is now Concubine Truong. Ms. Luu turned her head and glared at me: "No need. Tham Anh Hoa, from now on you won't have to step into my hospital anymore."

“Yes, then mother-in-law can rest assured.”

At noon, her illness immediately... cured. Check the shopping orders yourself, and even call the manager to come and compare the books page by page.
