Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — The Crown Princess Arrested Her Son-in-law herself
I hate it the most when women marry blindly, so I must choose my own kindness. I also said that those who make matches seem kind, but in fact, they don't know how many devious calculations they have hidden in their hearts. At that time, Hoc Yen Tri replied to me and praised me for seeing things thoroughly, daring to love and daring to hate, different from ordinary women. But now... I clutched my stomach and left the tea house. Thinking for a moment, I did not return to the palace. But told the driver to make a trip to the west. After posting the sign yesterday, I heard that the ladies in the capital were all excited. Ha Lien Tan is at the top of the list, and has such a beautiful and handsome birth, he definitely can't let others rush in first. But I didn't expect it. Arriving at the small courtyard in the west of the city, he still calmly sat under the tree drinking tea like that. He also threw a few grains of barley to tease the sparrows jumping on the ground. Seeing me coming again, he smiled and looked at me. "Miss Khuong, I made you wait for a long time." "Are you waiting for me?" I was stunned, I didn't expect him to be more natural than me. He raised his eyebrows at me: "What's wrong, is it possible that Miss Khuong wants to go back on her word?" "Today, because of you, I have refused many guests who came to visit me." I pondered the depth of his words. "What do you mean, you are willing to... become friends with me?" "What's impossible?" He scattered the last handful of barley, clapped his hands and stood up: "Could it be that Miss Khuong wants to betray her love and loyalty?" These words were said as if I were a female scoundrel. But think about my reputation in the scriptures now. It's not much better than a female scoundrel. To prevent him from resenting me for cheating in the marriage in the future, I still seriously told him about my background and situation. Finally, he shyly added: "If you don't feel secure, you can go listen more in the scriptures." He didn't seem to care at all. He personally made me a cup of tea, held his chin in one hand, and looked at me as if smiling for a moment. Then he slowly said: "It's okay." "Miss Khuong is sincere, a sincere person." "Having a wife like that..." He smiled softly: "The days from now on will definitely be very interesting." 13 Before leaving, Ha Lien Tan saw me out of the yard gate. He agreed with me, three days later he would come to the door to propose marriage. But he was so decisive, which on the contrary made me feel uneasy. Is it possible that he is the one who sees power and takes him to be his cousin? Therefore, after returning to the palace, I secretly told Tieu Dao to carefully listen to the background of this poinsettia wolf for me. But when Tieu Dao returned, her face was gloomy again. "Miss, this slave ran everywhere to bribe, almost spent all the money people gave to the slave." "But that scholar did not know which rock crevice he crawled out of, could not find out where his hometown was, and could not find any friends or relatives." After I heard that, my heart immediately sank. Just as I was about to ask a few more questions, the mother in front came to pass on the message. Said mother wanted me to come to the flower hall to receive guests. Try to calculate with your hand, today is exactly the third day. Could it be that the scholar really came to the door? I quickly carried my dress to the flower hall. When I got closer, I saw On Tinh Thu sitting in the hall drinking tea with my mother. On the small table in her hand was placed a delicate wooden box. Seeing me coming, On Tinh Thu immediately stood up and walked over to welcome me. She frowned worriedly: "Mieu Mieu, are you still angry with me?" "I also didn't know that what happened that day would be spread out..." "What does this have to do with you?" Mother impatiently glanced at me and said to her: "It's Khuong Mieu who doesn't know how to try hard herself, so she can't blame others." From their words, I knew. The story of that day Lord Lam had a blind date with me and then left it unfinished was spread throughout the capital. A woman that even a sixth-grade petty official from a cold family would not look at, in the capital, which famous prince would be willing to marry her? Until then
Saying that you pick up rotten goods that other people don't need doesn't make people laugh out loud. Wen Jingshu bit her lip and pushed the wooden box in front of me: "It's because of my kindness that I messed up the matter, instead it involved Mieu Mieu's marriage." "This is my apology, I hope Mieu Mieu accepts it, don't be angry with me anymore." I looked down and refused to accept. "I can't accept the apology from the Wen family's eldest lady." Mother slammed the teacup down on the table again and shouted: "Who taught you to talk?" It's not like that!" Then, she turned to softly and gently comforted On Tinh Thu. "Be good, this is the wedding jewelry that Tu Tu made for you with a heavy gold statue, how can you give it to someone so casually?" "Listen to my mother, please bring this back. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's because our Mieu Mieu always acted impolitely and ended up in this situation. Now her father and I also think Okay, if you can't get married in the capital, another day I'll take him to my grandfather's house in Giang Chau, hire an honest and peaceful live-in, and in the future I can live on." I still wanted to open my mouth, but my mother glared fiercely at me. She continued to say to Wen Jing Shu: "On the contrary, you are about to get married, and you are only thinking about Mieu Mieu, not taking care of yourself."
