Chapter 1 — Rain and Dust Like Spring

My sister and Tu Tu were about to get married, so they went to the mountain to offer incense. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the road, he encountered a bandit. In order to protect his sister, he fell down a cliff, was seriously injured, and was barely breathing. The Ta family proposed to be happy. But I'm scared. She doesn't want to marry a waste man, and she doesn't want to have to confess in the future. Parents are in trouble because of this. Getting married is harming women. If you don't get married, you'll have a reputation for being ungrateful and unfaithful. I thought for a long time, then softly opened my mouth: "I'm getting married." 1 These words just came out. As if she had met a savior, she ran in front of me, one hand holding my arm tightly: "To Hoa, are you telling the truth?" I nodded. Father was still hesitant: "But... It's because of Cam Duong that I ended up in this situation." "Taking fish and jade like this... I'm afraid it's not easy for Ta family to talk about." The mother cried: "Cam Duong is our only daughter, are you willing to let her suffer?" Father sighed: "That's it." "Once the person has married there, they can't return it to us, right?" Father and mother have known each other since they were young, and their feelings are very deep. As for my little lady, she was the one who was forced by her grandmother to give her to her father. I knelt on the ground: "My daughter is willing to get married, but there are three requirements." My mother dried her tears: "Let's talk." "One, take your little lady to Chuang Tu to take care of her old age, never let her come back." "Two, enroll your younger brother under my mother's pillow." "Three, if one day Prince Ta Tu lets go of the world, please give me a sum of money so that I can leave the capital to live through the day." My mother did not hesitate: "Okay." When the little lady heard this, she was so angry that she took a needle and stabbed him. Her mouth kept scolding: "You damn girl, you loser!" "Do you dare point your elbow out?" "This old lady has a son to rely on, why does she have to go to some kind of manor to take care of her old age?" "Your younger brother came out of my belly, why do you have to register under that bitch's pillow?" I pushed her away forcefully. She looked at me in surprise: "You have betrayed, do you still dare to fight back?" After saying that, she immediately rushed forward and wanted to tear me apart. I picked up the scissors on the table, blushed and said: "I will get married in three days. If there are wounds on my body, father will not forgive you!" She's scared. He glanced at me fiercely, scolded me and walked away. My little brother stuck his head out from outside the door and softly called me: "Sister." I dried her tears, held her small body in my arms and instructed: "When it comes to your mother's place, you must listen to her, do you understand?" He nodded: "Don't worry, sister." 2The wedding was very urgent. I wore an ill-fitting uniform and worshiped with a red rooster. After the ceremony, I officially married into the Ta family. In the cave room. Tu Thi Tu lay on the bed and softly said: "Cam Duong, you have been wronged." "I thought... you would hate me." "It's because I underestimated you." "Don't worry, if I can make it through, I will definitely treat you well." He tremblingly reached out and lifted my veil. Then he stared at me: "Why, why you!?" "Where are you?" "Quickly call someone!" The maid heard my voice and came, and when she saw my face, everyone was stunned. That night, there was chaos for a long time. The Ta family came to my house to demand an explanation. Her father lied and said that her sister was frightened and had a high fever that had not subsided. She was afraid her life would be affected, so she took her to the temple to recuperate. The Ta family could only swallow this dumb anger. The deceased was so angry that he was trembling. Despite everything, he struggled to sit up, screaming and shouting: "Get out!" "Get out!" "Where is Tham Cam Duong?" "Tell her to come see me!" Everyone present had red eyes and silently shed tears. Except for me. 3The Marquis and the Marquis called me out the door. "Once you get married here, it's like pouring water. You've seen the situation of our Young Master. Ever since he was injured, his temper has changed."

The mood is uncertain, the servants around have changed three times." "At first I thought that if Cam Duong married, maybe I could comfort him a little, but who would have thought that now it would turn out to be a disaster." "I've met you before, you're also a good child. From now on, Young Quan will give it to you." "If he can get better, we will absolutely not mistreat you." Having said that, she took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on my hand. I gently bowed: "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely do my best." Having finished speaking, I turned around and returned to the new room. Just entered the room door. I saw Ta Du's eyes widen as if they were about to crack open, his mouth screaming: "Who let you in?" I consider his words as wind blowing in my ears. Find a handkerchief, then find another strip of fabric. A handkerchief was stuffed into his mouth. A strip of cloth tied his hands. I slept extremely peacefully. The next day he woke up, his eyes were bloodshot, dark under his eyes, his voice was hoarse: "Tham To Hoa, you dare to treat me like that!" "I will not forgive you." I raised my eyes to look at him: "Don't forgive me?" "You still can't stand, why do you say cruel things to me?" He was mad. He shouted out: "Pull this woman out for me!" "I don't want to see her!" I walked in front of him, bent down: "Your Highness, save some energy." "Everyone outside knows that my sister and I changed marriages, you hate me. So even if you scream, they won't come in, and they won't let me go back." "Your sister, I don't need you anymore." Ta Du cried. At noon, the doctor came to diagnose him. The lady asked nervously: "How was today?" The doctor stroked his beard: "How strange!" "Previously, the prince had the appearance of being close to death, but today he is like a grass sprout breaking through the ground and emerging, with a little more vitality." Mrs. Hou was so moved that she burst into tears. She held my hand: "To Hoa, you are truly a blessing!" I bowed my head and smiled. Actually, before agreeing to change my marriage, I lay awake and thought for several nights before finally making up my mind. Father and mother truly loved their sister, that's why they chose such a good marriage for her. The fiance has a handsome appearance, is perfect in martial arts, and comes from a maquis family. The mother-in-law understood manners and was never harsh with her daughter-in-law. The most important thing is that the house is pure, there are no concubines connecting the room, and there are no concubines. I did some calculations, this was a perfect deal. Ta Du died, I can run far away. Ta Du is not dead, I am the only young lady of this marquis palace. Truly only profit and no loss! 4Ta Du hates me very much. He said that my mind was cheated and then I came to replace my wife. It is said that in the next half of my life I will have to be a widow, and when I get old, there will be no one to take care of me. I waved my fan and leisurely opened my mouth: "Your illness has turned out like this, there's no need to worry about replacing your concubine." "My parents have already said that if you die, they will give me a sum of silver so that I can remarry with my older brother." "My older brother has a handsome appearance, eight meters tall, a tiger-backed waist, and long legs like a praying mantis." I smiled: "So on second thought, you shouldn't have to worry about your succession." Ta Du was furious. "Tham To Hoa, you have no shame!" I looked at him, looking from top to bottom: "You even have to ask someone else to help you pull your pants. Who is shameless between the two of us?" The blue veins on his forehead were so prominent that they could be plucked into a lute. That night while going out, he trembled and pulled up his pants himself. The little monk serving him shed tears on the spot: "Your highness knows how to pull his pants! You already know how to pull your pants!” I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing. When he turned his head, he just happened to be facing Ta Du's red and gloomy face. He gritted his teeth: "Tham To Hoa!" "Don't let you laugh!"... Ta Du always liked to be stubborn. He refused to listen to the doctor and was obedient

practice. He said it was useless to treat his legs, he wouldn't be able to stand up in the future. He also said that Marquis and Madam Hou should take advantage of the time to give birth to another child, so don't waste the effort on him. Mrs. Hau was both angry and anxious, so she could only secretly wipe away her tears. I supported her shoulder: "Mother, don't be impatient, I have a way." 5 When the weather is nice, the doctor said he could push Ta Du out to dry in the sun. He refused to leave. I know, he is afraid that others will see him like this. I said: "Only go in the garden, don't go out." "Mother gave me this job, if I don't finish it, I will be scolded." He chuckled softly: "Are you also scolded?" "Isn't your tongue very powerful?" For the first time, I didn't argue, I bowed my head and said nothing. Then I slightly raised my eyes to look at him. There was some mist in his eyes. He looked away, impatiently said: "Go, go, okay?" "It's so troublesome." The garden in the maqui's palace is very large, and there is a lake that is neither deep nor shallow. I pushed the wheelchair to the lake. "Stand up." He turned his head in surprise, his eyebrows furrowed: "What do you say?" "Tham To Hoa, I have the kindness to go out with you, you didn't mean to laugh at me, did you?" He turned the wheel: "Go home!" "I want to go home!" Want to go home? Then it's impossible! I lifted my foot and kicked him into the water. He instinctively struggled: "Tham, gurg gurg, you are crazy, aren't you!" I squatted on the bank and gave him a pole: "Hold it." He grabbed it. But I didn't pull him up. I was like dumping vegetables, pulling him back and forth in the water about half a cup of tea. After Ta Du got ashore, he was so angry that he asked about my eight-generation ancestor. "You better pray that I will never be able to stand up again in this life, otherwise I will definitely not let you go!" I squatted in front of him, resting my chin: "Before taking revenge on me, you should go find Tham Cam Duong first." He frowned: "Why?" I suppressed a laugh: "Ask her why she abandoned you." He wants to hit me. I lifted my legs and ran. He was so angry that he stood up trembling. Servants passed by and ran to inform each other: "The prince can stand up, the prince can stand up!" When Mrs. Hau heard the news, she was so happy that she cried. She held my hand: "Good child, I really don't know how to thank you." "How about this..." She took out a land deed: "This is the land deed outside the city of Loc Linh, from now on it will be yours." Unexpected joy. I carefully received it: "Thank you, mother." Mrs. Hau wants to say it again. When I receive an offering, my hands are soft, when I eat someone's food, my mouth is short: "Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it!" She bowed her head and leaned in: "I've always been worried about whether or not my son can still act like a man." My face gets hot. Mrs. Hau said again: "I know that the little girl is like a thin-skinned girl and is afraid to try this, but... after all, you are husband and wife, this matter is nothing." I nodded slightly: "Then... try it." 6At night. Ta Du lay on the rocking chair, looking at me sideways: "Why is your face so red?" "Are you sick?" I didn't answer, I slowly walked in front of him. Ta Du frowned: "What expression are you making?" "What do you want to do?" I bit my lip, took off my nightgown, leaving only a purple lotus camisole. His pupils were exaggerated, his throat rolled up and down. He stammered: "You, you..." I half leaned on his leg, starting from the knee, gently stroking upwards. Ta Du's forehead was sweating, his face was extremely ugly: "Tham To Hoa, stop for me!" He tried to stop me. Unfortunately, his body hasn't fully recovered yet, and his strength is not as good as mine. I reassured him: "Don't be afraid, I'll just try... see if you're injured there." The blue veins on his neck appeared and he gritted his teeth and said: "You, you really have no shame!" Then he closed his eyes tightly. No more resistance.
