Chapter 9 — Pick up the Bridegroom

"Vuong Phan, now your parents rely on the power of Tran Bac Vuong's palace, doing business in the capital, and living very well. If you return, you will live a rich life, and you can also marry a good man."
She just talked to me. Everyone at the table was no longer in the mood to eat. Everyone's ears immediately perked up. Excitedly looking at us. I took a sip of tea, smiled and asked:
"Ah, I almost forgot. You are the one who went to the capital to marry a good man. Why are you returning to your hometown now?"
Duong Giao Nguyet's face turned pale. She looked at Trieu Hang and shed tears:
“I have reconciled.”
She just shed tears. Trieu Hang's eyes became hazy again, as if his heart was burned to the point of dizziness. Ton Nhi Nuong sitting next to me cleared her throat:
"Vuong Phan, you will be eighteen next year. Many people have come to me to ask about you. I have chosen to help you, there is a pretty good boy. He is a reader, has a clean family background, and has solved cases with you."
I remembered and asked:
“Lin Tri Vien?”
Ton Nhi Nuong was happy:
“Oh my, you really miss him.”
I nodded:
“The written complaint is not bad.”
Ton Nhi Nuong seriously analyzed:
"His mother is considered my aunt. Although their family is a bit poor, they are all honest and dutiful people. If you are willing, I will make a match for the two of you to meet."
She lowered her voice:
"Lam Tri Vien once revealed to me that he was also willing to live with his son-in-law."
Trieu Hang, as if being pricked by a needle, immediately interjected:
“No way!”
Ton Nhi Nuong glanced at him:
“What don't you get?”
Trieu Hang looked at me, even hinted and touched his mouth. We also ask:
“What don't you get?”
Trieu Hang angrily scooped a bowl of soup for me and said angrily:
"Don't eat too much fishy and greasy food! Otherwise, you will have trouble sleeping at night."
Finished eating. It was dark outside. Trieu Hang washed the handkerchief and gave it to me to wipe my hands. Duong Giao Nguyet hasn't left yet. She was about to cry again. Trieu Hang cautiously leaned close to me:
"Vuong Phan! Everyone says you are a reincarnated fairy. Quickly perform a spell for me! For some reason, every time I see her crying, my mind becomes drowsy."
I smiled but looked at Duong Giao Nguyet:
"Miss Duong, I heard that when you were young, you were seriously ill. After you woke up, you became understanding and intelligent. You feared your mother the most, yet you dared to take money from her, stood waiting on the street, waited for Trieu Hang to fall in front of you, and then gave him a bowl of soup. The gratitude is truly profound."
The tears in Duong Giao Nguyet's eyes disappeared, and the look of weakness also disappeared. She evaluates me. Ton Nhi Nuong found an excuse to call Trieu Hang. Duong Giao Nguyet looked at me warily:
"Are you also reincarnated? I remember in my previous life, after your parents went to the capital, you soon died of illness. It was Ton Nhi Nuong who collected your body."
Wrong. I am a time traveler. But having said it again, Duong Giao Nguyet has been reborn and certainly knows the fate of my parents. My aunt is a secret agent installed by the emperor in Tran Bac Vuong's palace. After Tran Bac Vuong's palace was cleared of injustice, the model was liquidated. The wealth of my parents' family also went up in smoke. They rely on their mother's power, boasting everywhere and harming others. In the end, he ended up being exiled. Like that Duong Giao Nguyet still advised me to return to the capital to enjoy wealth. Duong Giao Nguyet confidently said:
"Vuong Phan, if you know that I am a reincarnated person, then you should also know that I am the heroine of this book. Trieu Hang is destined to pay the price for me, sacrifice for me. No one can change it. This is the plot."
I calmly told her:
"You are wrong. In this world, everyone is their own heroine."
Duong Giao Nguyet is a person who is known to know the future. But so what? The miracle of life lies in endless changes. There are people who can grasp those changes. Some people can't. Duong Giao Nguyet no longer has Trieu Hang as support. Where her future will go, I'm afraid she herself doesn't know. Trieu Hang returned. I started to lie to him:
"Trieu Hang, five years ago I told you that Duong Giao Nguyet would come back to find you, now it has come true. I will tell you the rest of the story. You will follow her back to the capital to become her heir, enjoy glory and wealth. My old illness relapsed, I was lonely and had no one to rely on. My parents returned, saw that I was beautiful and married me to an old widower. Every day I was locked in a small yard, suffering from hunger and cold, being beaten and scolded."
Trieu Hang was scared and grabbed my hand, shaking his head continuously:
"I will not go with Duong Giao Nguyet! She and I have no relationship whatsoever! Vuong Phan, don't scare me. I have to take care of you in this life, absolutely never leave."
What he said was extremely steadfast. I saw Duong Giao Nguyet instinctively hugging her chest, as if in pain. Trieu Hang also shook his head, as if countless memories suddenly flooded out. He asked me in surprise:
"Vuong Phan! Do you know how much silver I gave Duong Giao Nguyet before? Am I crazy?"
