Chapter 4 — People risked their lives to save, but wanted to marry my sister to show gratitude

I bowed my head and smiled bitterly.

"You can't blame the eldest sister. With an identity like mine, being able to marry the Second Young Master is already a big climb. It's just that in my heart..."

Having said this, I raised my head and looked at him deeply. In those eyes, there were thousands of words that wanted to be said, but in the end they only turned into a sigh.

"For me, if it wasn't that person, then even if I was married to the Grand Master of the General's Palace, what would it mean?"

Co Can Nhien's heart stirred. He always thought that I wanted him to marry me just to escape. Unexpectedly, I was truly so in love. In my heart and in my eyes, there is only him alone. Even for him, he was willing to die. In his heart, there were hundreds of chaos, thousands of twists and turns. Those eyes finally stopped on my elegant and beautiful face. That face was pale, with an expression of helplessness and determination to be unable to escape the constraints of the world. So fragile. But also fierce enough to consider death as light as a feather. He couldn't help but want to step forward, wanting to hug the person in front of him. But he still didn't move. He still wants to maintain the dignity of a gentleman. I saw from outside the door, in the distance, a figure rushing towards me. I decided to give him a helping hand. I pretended to be unsteady on my feet, my whole body falling straight into his arms. He seemed to let out a sigh of satisfaction. This time, he really hugged me.

“What are you doing?”

An angry scream rang out from behind. Truong Van Noan was like a barrel of explosives that had just been ignited, rushing straight towards us. For fear of getting hurt, Co Can Nhien instinctively reached out to push her away.

"Co Can Nhien, you are my husband. You two dare to secretly meet each other in the middle of the night, but now you are still protecting him."

As she spoke, she was about to rush in again. Mouth constantly cursing:

"You slut, you dare to seduce my people. I will beat you to death."

I cowered and hid behind Co Can Nhien. Looking at him once again standing in front of me, a smile slowly rose in my heart.

"You sour woman. Don't you see that Tieu Thao is about to commit suicide? It's all a good thing you've done."

"So what if he committed suicide? Just because he dared to seduce you, he deserved to die. I wish I couldn't kill him right away."

The sound of the two arguing quickly brought their father and mother over. Looking at the chaotic scene before their eyes, their faces immediately became extremely unsightly. After knowing the end of the story, I heard Co Can Nhien emphasize one sentence after another that the sisters must be of the same spirit, and the mother was the one who reacted the fastest. She immediately pulled Truong Van Noan back who was angry. It was very difficult for the Count's palace to befriend them. She absolutely did not want her daughter to fall after climbing a high branch. Everyone gathered in the lobby. My mother took my sister to talk. His father also called Co Can Nhien into the study room. On the contrary, I was the only one injured, also the cause of everything, and in the end became a bystander. Tieu Hoan gave me a new cup of tea. Look at the red mark above my neck, she was so heartbroken that her eyes turned red. Only I have the corner of my lips still smiling slightly.

“Today, the tea is delicious.”

I don't know what my mother said to Truong Van Noan. When she came out again, she was completely calm again. She even blamed herself, saying she didn't know I hated this marriage so much. She just thought the two of them were compatible in age. The General's Palace has both power and influence. She just wants the next half of my life to live in peace, without having to worry anymore. That's why I don't investigate further. After all... She is a person with good intentions. And I'm the one who doesn't know anything. Whether Co Can Nhien believes it or not is no longer important. The important thing is that Truong Van Noan bowed his head and gave in. But since she gave in, he could only comply. Could it be that because of me, you would really damage your relationship as husband and wife? The only thing beyond my expectations is... I don't know what Co Can Nhien promised his father. After they walked out of the study, father looked at me deeply. There was a glimpse of cleverness and calculation in his eyes. After that, he just gently ignored this matter.
