Chapter 4 — Reincarnated into the Kim Minh Tri Association, I will no longer marry Poinsettia Lang
There's also Luc Ba Minh. Around the arena, people stood so tightly that water could hardly penetrate. On the contrary, my heart becomes more and more calm. As soon as the drums and music signaled the start, I immediately tightened the reins and spurred the horse to rush out. The wind whistled past my ears. I smell the scent of freedom. When the first blow is thrown, we only use one foot to step on the pedal, one hand to control the reins, half of our body almost pressed against the ground. Cheers and applause from the field immediately rang out. I turned around and sat firmly back on the horse. This code bridge team has been practicing for more than three months. Even though I'm not an official member, I still practice with them often. Tong Ngu Nuong rode her horse and passed by my side. Her horse riding technique is extremely skillful. If the person who won first place was her, it wouldn't be surprising. I still remained calm and quietly glanced at her. Luc Ba Minh's family situation deteriorated, but thanks to his teacher's respect and support, he had the opportunity to continue reading and enter the civil service. Tong Ngu Nuong was also a young lady of a mandarin family. Just because the Song family was caught up in a factional struggle, it was implicated. The male relatives were exiled to the army, and the female relatives were sent to Dich Dinh. Thanks to her skill, Tong Ngu Nuong was sent to serve in the royal concubine's palace, then was recruited to join the female horse and bridge team. Last year, on the occasion of His Majesty's birthday, the court granted amnesty to the world, her father was pardoned and returned to his hometown, but now his illness is very serious, day and night he longs for his daughter. Your Majesty and the Noble Concubine in the past also fell in love with each other because of a horse racing match. Therefore, Luc Ba Minh and Tong Ngu Nuong planned together, waiting for her to win the first place in the horse bridge match at the Kim Minh Tri festival, Luc Ba Minh would take the opportunity to ask His Majesty for her hand in marriage, thus helping Tong Ngu Nuong to leave the palace, so that father and daughter could reunite as soon as possible. To be honest, I always feel that Luc Ba Minh is not worthy of Tong Ngu Nuong. No matter how many compliments people give him. But without Tong Ngu Nuong's father, there would be no Luc Ba Minh of today. There are countless ways to repay your kindness. Yet he insisted on marrying a talented, well-educated woman as his wife. Let her take care of the housework for him, and also have to endure the pain of pregnancy and childbirth. I really don't know if it's revenge or revenge. In my previous life, after learning the whole story, I asked you for help. The first thing Tong Ngu Nuong did after leaving the palace was to go to the Luc family residence. At that time, Luc Ba Minh had not yet returned from court. The servant came in to say that there was a visitor, who specifically wanted to see me, and was currently waiting in the flower hall. At that time, Luc Ba Minh and I had been married for more than a year. In the middle of a hot summer day, just because I drank another bowl of lychee water to cook jelly, he criticized me for being arbitrary and arrogant, only wanting to enjoy pleasure. Those old friends, after being mocked several times by Luc Ba Minh that they only knew how to roam around and enjoy themselves, did not dare to go to the palace anymore. Later, friends became engaged one after another. Some people get married as far away as Jiangnan, some people follow their husbands to the border areas, and some people stay in Thinh Kinh, like me, locked in a corner of the courtyard. Soulmates who used to ride horses with me After wandering around Thinh Kinh for many years, in the end there was only a little bit of friendship left that was maintained through a few letters each year. I can't predict who will come to me. When entering the flower hall, I only took one look and recognized Tong Ngu Nuong's back. Hearing footsteps, Tong Ngu Nuong instinctively turned around. As soon as she saw me, she immediately knelt down and respectfully bowed her head three times. I didn't have time to raise my hand to stop it. Tong Ngu Nuong stood up, brushed off the dust on her knees, her appearance still as elegant as before. As for me, even in my own house, I have to look around like a thief, afraid that Luc Ba Minh will suddenly appear and lecture me for no reason. Tong Ngu Nuong says:
"This time I came here, first of all to thank Miss Ta for standing in front of the noble lady and speaking for me."
"Secondly, I want to make it clear that there is absolutely no love between me and Big Brother Luc."
I quietly listened to her.
