Chapter 3 — She Wants Prosperity, I Want Freedom

"Don't waste your time. No matter how well you marry, you can't compare to the royal family."

At this time, Lam Tung also accompanied Lam Hoa.

“Lam Mac, now you should help Lam Hoa more, make him happy.”

"In the future, when she becomes a prince, there will be no shortage of good things for her."

Lam Hoa looked at me even more arrogantly, waiting to see if I would bow my head. I remained unmoved, coldly glanced at the three of them and spoke calmly.

“I know myself and understand that relying only on appearance cannot climb the ranks of nobility.”

"I advise you, it's best to think about how to compensate the fourth prince Huo Chenggan's clothes."

After saying that, I immediately left the study room. Afraid of the Prime Minister's status, they did not dare to stop me and could only let me leave. The fact that I told my father and mother that I was going to the Prime Minister's residence to help the Prime Minister's wife copy the sutras was actually just a lie to them. In fact, I came to help the Prime Minister's son, Vuong Phi Anh, work. Before that, during the competition, he realized that my talent was not inferior to other gentlemen. Furthermore, he did not care that I was a girl, on the contrary, he actively invited me to become his shadow advisor, in charge of handling official correspondence, strengthening his position in the court. In my previous life, after I lost my innocence, it was you who helped me deal with that noble man to avenge me, and was a friend worth trusting. In the study room of the Prime Minister's Palace, Vuong Phi Anh looked at the letter from the Minister of Infantry whose handwriting I had just imitated, and nodded appreciatively.

"There are many people in the court who think that the Emperor will choose Huo Thua Can to be the Crown Prince. Huo Thua Can himself is also eager to establish merit to prove himself."

“The situation is unfavorable right now, so let's just wait quietly first.”

Having said that, he threw the letter I had just written into the incense burner and burned it, then spoke again.

"I heard that there is an epidemic outbreak in a nearby district. Let's go there and see how Huo Chenggan will prove himself."

I followed Mr. Vuong to the nearby district. Sitting in the carriage, we can also hear the sounds of passersby chatting outside.

"The fourth prince is so noble, why does he have such a scar on his hand? Was it congenital?"

"That's a scar left by someone who wanted to burn him to death. Luckily he survived!"

“Who is so bold as to dare to burn the Prince to death?”

"Of course it's those guys. Isn't it normal for the royal family to vie for power? Previously, the fourth prince's mother, Tieu Quy Phi, was also burned to death."

"Now he is the person most respected by the Emperor, the rest certainly cannot sit still!"

Hearing that, I instinctively opened the carriage curtain and looked out. Suddenly, I saw a figure in the distance with a cold face commanding the guards to set up a wooden tent. His eyes were filled with ambition and desire, as deep as an abyss. Hoac Thua Can is absolutely not like what Lam Hoa imagined, and will easily be fascinated by her beauty. At that moment, Lam Hoa appeared in my sight. She wore a simple and elegant outfit, with no jewelry on her head, just a small white flower, looking extremely elegant and intimate. She brought along a few maids and maids guards, brought some medicine and food to distribute to those who were sick. In appearance, in the eyes of others, he is no different from a Bodhisattva who is both kind and beautiful. But I understand you clearly, this is just a trick to attract Hoac Thua Can's attention. It seems that she really learned a little from Ly Tu Tu. As long as her reputation for honesty spreads out and is praised by everyone, Huo Chengcan will definitely pay attention to her. With that reputation, Huo Chenggan marrying her into the palace would also become a matter of course. Unfortunately, Lam Hoa only learned a little of the surface from Ly Tu Tu, the tricks were still not clever enough. At least, her hateful eyes when looking at sick people should be restrained. Lam Hoa is showing off like this now, and soon her reputation will spread throughout the capital. At that time, it will be easier for everyone to find out that she is just being hypocritical. For the entire Lam family, it would be a disaster. I have to think of a way to completely separate myself from the Lam family's palace, so as not to be implicated by this idiot.
