Chapter 7 — On the Day of Marriage, I Married the Wrong Person to the Right Person

Ly Ngon Chi came back and after listening to me, his eyebrows furrowed: "About the books, I'm afraid there's a trap. Even if it's true, it's too dangerous to get it."

"But this is a rare opportunity. That notebook, perhaps, can really shake Tinh Vuong's palace."

I remember my previous life, on the second day of Tet, Tieu Vien Minh deliberately took me back to the Tham mansion, and also brought a generous bride price, as if he also wanted to borrow my father's hand to find a certain notebook. Later, Tieu Vien Minh helped Nhu Mi reconcile, then took a notebook, but burned it right in the study room. Thinking of this, what Nhu Mi said is probably true.

"Mr. Hoa, don't get involved. Let me send someone to investigate first."

I nodded. The next day, I returned to Tham's palace and told my father the whole story. Father pondered for a long time, saying the same thing as Ly Ngon Chi. Unfortunately, three days later, before finding the records, Nhu Mi died in Tinh Vuong palace. When the news arrived, I was stunned for a long time. She had a miserable life. Her biological mother, a maid, passed away due to difficulty giving birth while giving birth to her. Her eldest mother treated her harshly, from a young age she did not eat enough food and did not wear warm enough clothes. One time, my mother came to the Luu family's palace as a guest. She saw her hiding under the embroidered hallway, each needle stitched evenly, and felt pity for her. She often welcomed her to our palace. She said she was teaching me to embroider, but in reality it was giving her a few full meals and some peace. In her previous life, she always said that the Ly family was not good, and in the end she was able to get a divorce with great difficulty, but after Tieu Vien Minh ascended the throne, she immediately issued an order to destroy the entire Liu family. In this life, she was finally married into the royal palace, but soon passed away. Sigh... I just hope that in her next life, she will be reincarnated in a good place, without worrying about food and clothes, and be safe and happy. After Tet, on the full moon day of the first lunar month, Tuc Vuong found the notebook and presented it to the emperor. Immediately, Tieu Vien Minh's crimes of colluding with the Ministry of Health, swallowing the military budget, and secretly raising dead soldiers were also exposed one after another. Long Nhan was angry, Tieu Vien Minh was stripped of his title and placed under house arrest - collapsing overnight. Ly Ngon Chi and I sat in the yard of the new house, eating cakes and ginseng soup that Sister Dao had just brought. I asked Ly Ngon Chi: "In the past, why did you marry Nhu Mi and not Nhu Yen?"

"Because Nhu Mi holds evidence of her father and the Ly family's embezzlement. She can be given to me, but the condition is that she must marry her."

“Is your father corrupt?” I was surprised, "So where is the money?"

Ly Ngon Chi shook his head: "Dad didn't know, it was because Mrs. Liu secretly received the money. Only that one time. After that, dad immediately cut off relations with the Liu family. Even when the old lady of the Liu family passed away, dad didn't come." I sighed: "Can't blame her at all... Your family is really poor." Ly Ngon Chi smiled bitterly: "My mother's illness cost a lot of money. My father and I have tried all kinds of businesses, but all of them lost money. Being able to maintain it as it is now is not easy."

“Then Tuc Vuong secretly helped him?”

“Yes. But I followed him not only because he helped, but because he also had a conscience.”

That's right. Tieu Vien Minh will not use any means to achieve his goal, we have long seen clearly. Suddenly I remembered: "How much do you know about the palanquin being swapped?" Ly Ngon Chi was silent for a moment then said: "Since she arrested Tieu Dao's parents, I have been suspicious. Mr. Hoa, do you blame me?" I shook my head: "No offense. You should have told me." So, perhaps from the beginning, I was not determined to marry Tieu Vien Minh. Ly Ngon Chi laughed again: "But since childhood, you have liked Tinh Vuong. If I told you, would you listen?" Page Nguyet Hoa Cau My face heated up. Really didn't listen. Because when Tieu Vien Minh was young, he was really brilliant and dazzling.

"Ten years ago, Tay Son hunting ground. She had to tame that handsome horse. Even when he fell, he didn't cry, and even scolded him for not having eyes."

“That's right, that day!” My eyes lit up, "Then Tieu Vien Minh said he could help me tame that horse."

"He only exchanged my horse for you. I tried riding your horse and fell down. But you didn't realize it, and stood next to me and scolded me for being useless."

“What?”

Tieu Vien Minh also took a piece of gold from me that day, saying firmly that it could be tamed.

Not long after, the first emperor died and Tuc Vuong ascended the throne. When discussing merit awards, Ly Ngon Chi's name was also on the list. He brought back the reward: "Mr. Hoa, this is the emperor's gift. I have been promoted to the position of Housekeeper, and my benefits will also increase in the future." I nodded.

"Let's go, let's go home. Sister Dao is pregnant, dad is now handing over the military talisman, being idle at home, I definitely want to hold a celebration party."

I suddenly felt worried: "Could it be that Tieu Dao is also pregnant?" Now that the Liu family is under investigation, Mrs. Liu is in prison, Mrs. Liu no longer has the same spirit as before, what if she lets Tieu Dao go... Ly Ngon Chi smiled: "Before she passed away, my mother was afraid that Mrs. Liu would treat me badly after having children, and once gave her roses to drink. Guess, did she let someone else have children?"

“That's good.”

The carriage passed through the main street, there was a wedding venue, the sound of drums and trumpets resounded, and red silk fluttered. Ly Ngon Chi asked me: "You just got off the palanquin that day, didn't you see anything strange?" I firmly shook my head: "No. I thought I was going to the back door of Tinh Vuong's palace." He seemed to believe it. I asked him again: "That night of the wedding, the first thing you called me was Nhu Mi, do you really not recognize me?"

"Actually, when she got off the palanquin, I already recognized it. But everything went so smoothly, when she came to worship, she was even more urgent than me, I thought - definitely not her. Feeling depressed, I drank a few more cups, and didn't go into the room to look closely."

Because I'm also afraid of being discovered and then being sent back to Tinh Vuong palace. We looked at each other and smiled, not saying another word. The old story... the wind has blown it away. RUN OUT OF
