He was so irritated that he burst out laughing: "Why, are you still delusionally thinking that he will come back to marry you? Ninh Hieu Du, you are just a girl from the countryside. Think with your brain, who would give up the opportunity to marry the princess for someone like you!" "I will." At first there was silence in the yard, then Tiet Canh Uyen turned around in disbelief. To Thua An stood at the gate wearing a red robe. He had a calm face again: "Please give way, you're blocking my way to tell my fiancee the good news." 09 Maybe because the sign was posted today, on the normally not bustling street, there were people setting off firecrackers. It was very noisy outside, and in the yard it was also noisy, so I couldn't hear To Thua An's return. Behind him, many people followed, everyone respectfully bowed their heads and waited outside the door. I was happy: "You're back?" He passed Tiet Canh Uyen and walked towards me, still carrying a package of oil paper in his hand: "Yes, I brought you red bean cake, it's still hot." His voice paused for a moment before continuing: "Are you... going to see the board?" I took the package of oil paper and nodded. "I left! Before I could even look at it, he pulled me back." I felt a bit resentful. "Tell me, what kind of person is this? You lied to me for a year, and now you're still lying to me. What do you mean, you were forced by His Majesty to become a groom under the table, want to marry the princess, and will not return." To Thua An laughed in a low voice. "Yes, he is lying to you." He stepped forward and opened the oil paper package for me. "Other than you, I will not marry anyone." For some reason, I suddenly felt a little hot on my face. I picked up a piece of red bean cake and randomly stuffed it into my mouth, asking inaudibly: "So you passed the exam, do you no longer need to go to the library to read books?" To Thua An nodded: "Not only do we no longer need to go, we also won't be here anymore." "Hieu Du, Your Majesty gives us a new building, I... will be married to you there." I didn't answer, I just felt my face getting hotter. It's just that Tiet Canh Uyen still doesn't give up: "I don't believe he gave up on this royal marriage. Hieu Du, don't believe him, follow me home, I will really treat you well." As soon as I heard him say that, I was angry. I couldn't help but stand up, almost screaming: "You lied to me for a year, I haven't even settled with you yet. Now you've come to separate me and my fiance, what are your intentions?" "In my opinion, the one who has to leave quickly is you. Don't be late, we'll pack up our things and move to a new house!" To Thua An's voice was still calm: "Brother Tiet, you should still go back to the library and seriously study early, okay? So much so that this time we can't even get on the board." "As for our family, there's no need for an outsider like you to point fingers here." A few people following couldn't help but raise their heads to look at him. Tiet Canh Uyen's face turned red, her mouth moved a few times, but in the end she still didn't say anything, turned around and left. The entangled people ran away, the air in the yard was also a lot fresher. To Thua An turned his head and gently brushed the crumbs from the corner of my lips. He extended his hand towards me. "Let's go, Hieu Du, let's go to our new home." I was stunned for a moment. Dad, Mom, it seems I've really found my family. I slowly put my hand on it. "Okay." I smiled softly. "Let's go home." 10 The fourth year after we got married, I finally gave birth to a daughter to To Thua An. Now, as soon as he gave birth, he didn't do anything and immediately ran straight home to pick up his daughter. Listening to To Thua An's assistant, his colleagues often complained that although they didn't drink together often, there were still times when they couldn't avoid it. Now it's great, I have a daughter, once is gone. I just find it very funny. I understand better than anyone how much To Thua An values this daughter. Anyway

When his son was just born, he dared to tease her. When it came to his daughter, at first he didn't even dare to carry her. He wants to give his daughter all the best. Even diapers, if I hadn't said that cut cotton fabric is better than silk, he would definitely cut all the silk His Majesty sent down before the new year to cut it into diapers. I couldn't help but condemn: "Boys and girls, you all have to treat them fairly." He didn't care: "Boys are like me, have thick skin, just let them grow wild on their own." "Girls are different, like you, very weak." I was full of doubts: "Where am I weak?" He smiled slightly again, but his eyes looked at me full of indecency. My face immediately turned red and I couldn't help but scold him. To Thua An smiled and hugged me. After a long while, he suddenly said a sentence without beginning or end: "He left the capital." I frowned: "Who?" "Tiet Canh Uyen." He softly opened his mouth. "He cheated on the exam, which should have been severely punished. But Lord Tiet was willing to resign to ask for his love. His Majesty respected Lord Tiet for his old age, and made a lot of achievements, only fined him thirty rods. However, the injury was not light, I heard that his left leg was disabled. Okay." He paused for a moment: "After returning, Master Tiet sold the house and took the whole family, old and young, back to the countryside." I said a soft "ah".
