Chapter 4 — The Elder Robbed the Poor Man's Fortune to Get Along, I Smiled and Married to the Tieu Family

Right after that, he looked at me and laughed.

"What a mouth! The Han woman is really interesting."

I let him look at me, not shying away. I survived. Tu A was completely unaware of these things. I folded the paper I just finished writing and gave it to her. After finishing reading, Tu A happily folded the paper and put it in her sleeve. Walking to the door, she suddenly turned her head and looked at me with meaningful eyes.

"Sister, I will wait until I see you get married before leaving. Don't even think about running away."

She wanted to confirm with her own eyes that I had jumped into that fire pit, so she could feel secure on her way to Bac Phien. I just smiled slightly.

“Don't worry sister, I won't run away.”

Why do I have to hide? No matter how scary Tieu Mac is, is he even scarier than King Bac Phien? Even if I can conquer the sixteen Northern Fan tribes, I can also hold a small Tieu family in the palm of my hand. The wedding day is getting closer and closer. The palace also began to get busy preparing the dowry for our two sisters. Mother called us both.

“A Nhu, your dowry and I have already discussed it.”

Some unnatural parts appeared on her face.

"You have a prosperous husband. After you marry the Tieu family, they will definitely treat you very well. Those dowries only need to be prepared symbolically."

"As for my older sister, it's different. She has to get married to Bac Phien, where the cold is harsh, so she has to bring a little more protective clothing."

Previous life. They didn't say that. They used to say.

"Your sister will be the face of the whole family in the future, of course you have to prepare more dowry."

"As for me, I will marry into the foreign country anyway. No matter how much I bring with me, it will eventually fall into the hands of the foreign people. It's better not to bring anything with me."

Of course. I didn't bother arguing about anything, just nodded slightly. The mother paused. Perhaps she did not expect me to agree so decisively. Tu A also turned to look at me, a bit of surprise flashed in her eyes. I calmly spoke up.

"Mother, I have no idea how much or how little the dowry will be. But I want to ask for something."

I looked at my father, who remained silent from beginning to end.

“I want father's compass.”

It is an old item of Kham Thien Giam, passed down through many generations. It is said that it can measure good luck and determine direction. Normally, my father treats it like a treasure and doesn't let anyone touch it. He frowned slightly.

“That thing…”

“No way.”

Tu A suddenly interrupted his father's words.

“I also want that compass.”

She looked at her father, her tone firm, as if all arguments were on her side.

"I have to get married far away to Bac Phien. I want to bring something of my father's as a souvenir. It's also considered a bit of remembrance."

She took a few steps forward, lowering her voice.

“That thing is definitely very effective, right?”

“In your previous life, did you use it?”

I lowered my eyes and shook my head slightly.

“You're thinking too much, sister.”

She didn't believe it at all. With such unusual actions from me, in her eyes there must be something fishy. I took a step back and looked at my mother.

“If you want it, then I won't fight anymore.”

I stopped for a moment, eyes closed fell on the silver hairpin in her mother's hair.

"I'll ask for mother's silver brooch, is that okay?"

The mother was a bit stunned. She raised her hand to touch the brooch on her head, took it down and looked at it for a moment.

"Is this something? This is an item passed down from your great-grandmother. I heard it was an item given by the Immortal Emperor. But the item the Emperor gave as many rewards is not worth much."

Tu A took the brooch, turned it over and looked at it again and again for a long time.

“Just a brooch?”

Her doubts were too heavy and she refused to let go. I sighed softly.

"If you also want it, then I can ask for our family's night pearl."

Tu A immediately widened her eyes.

"Da Minh Pearl? That's a family heirloom from the Tu family. Is it something you can even dream of?"

She immediately stuffed the silver brooch into my hand.

“Okay, okay, this brooch is okay for you, right?”

I kept the brooch carefully, and at this moment I breathed a sigh of relief. What I want... is this brooch.
