Chapter 1 — Reincarnated into the Kim Minh Tri Association, I will no longer marry Poinsettia Lang
I have always been a person who likes to laugh and enjoy excitement. But Luc Ba Minh thinks that I just like to show off, like to attract others' attention. Until now, he still blames me. Blame me for winning first place in the women's bridge match at the Kim Minh Tri association. That day, on Bao Tan's floor, the mandarin asked him if he had a marriage contract or not.
"The person in my heart is right in this team of female horses."
Ironically, on that day, I wore a red cardigan, rode a handsome horse, swung my staff high, and with just one blow sent the ball straight into the goal tied with a colored silk ribbon, the whole stadium immediately rang with cheers and applause. The mandarin praised him for having an eye for people and personally gave the marriage to the two of us. Later I learned that that day the person he was planning to propose to was actually his teacher's daughter. After being married for more than ten years, he has always treated me politely and distantly. Even my children were coldly treated by him because of "hating everyone, hating all relatives". Until his death, he had never really looked at the baby with his eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the noble lady told me to go to the yard to play the bridge. This time, I won't refuse. It's not our fault, why do we have to back down again and again? I definitely don't! The attendants next to the noble lady quickly came to find her.
"Your majesty has something urgent, call Miss Ta over immediately."
After saying that sentence, I still stood still, not moving at all. She was a bit impatient and called me again.
"Miss Xie?"
At that time, my soul seemed to fly from the spiritual path back to the shore of Kim Minh Tri. I slightly lowered my eyes, my gaze slowly falling on the crowded, bustling sea of people before my eyes. In my ears, the noise of people was endless. Ahead is a brilliant spring scene at its most beautiful. The dragon boat competition had just ended, the cheers and cheers on the shore wave after wave, becoming more and more resounding. The young general who won the title was wearing the velvet uniform of the Winged Water Master Tiger Guard. Standing from a distance, I couldn't see his face clearly, I could only see his tall, straight body, his fiery spirit, and his extremely enthusiastic demeanor. Every year in March and April, thanks to His Majesty's grace, Kim Minh Tri is opened for everyone to come and have fun. Dragon boat racing, underwater games, female horse racing... are all bustling scenes that people love. In my previous life, also today, I won first place in the women's bridge match. Thanks to that, we had a marriage that everyone admired. New graduate of the Poinsettia Luc Ba Minh. The Emperor's courtier, his future is wide open, limitless. When the decree of marriage was passed down, everyone in the capital said I had a good fate. Only later did we know. At the Kim Minh Tri meeting that day, Luc Ba Minh originally intended to ask His Majesty to grant him marriage to Tong Ngu Nuong, his teacher's daughter. If there were no unexpected events, the person who won first place should have been her. Luc Ba Minh blamed me for stealing Song Ngu Nuong's glory, otherwise there would have been no misunderstanding that caused His Majesty to give us our marriage. His Majesty's golden speech has been issued, how can the decree be revoked? That's more than ten years of marriage. From beginning to end, Luc Ba Minh was only polite and distant towards me. Every time colleagues hold a party, others bring their wives along. Only him all the time also attended alone. If anyone asked, he would just say that my body was not healthy. I seem to be just a person hired to take care of the Luc family's palace up and down on his behalf. Not even the status of a guest. In the eyes of outsiders, we are a husband and wife who respect each other like new. Only I know, his eyes never really stopped on me. Even my children are always treated coldly because of his hatred. Du Nhi's body has been weak since birth. The doctor said it was most likely because when I was pregnant, I suffered from melancholy. I always feel sorry for you. Because of taking care of my child, I rarely go out and put almost all my attention on the child. When Du Nhi was six years old, what she wanted most was for the whole family of three to go for a walk in Kim Minh Tri. Luc Ba Minh always used the excuse of being busy with work to refuse. I have to comfort you:
"Wait until you finish the medicine and nourish your body, then mother will take you away."
Du Nhi nodded seriously, even taking medicine was more active than usual. I held the bowl of medicine in my hand, tilted my head back and drank it all in one gulp, my small face wrinkled into a ball because of the bitter taste.
