Chapter 1 — The Holy Woman Hears the Sound of Birds

I descended into the mortal world, first became a female Marquis, and also brought with me a system to understand bird sounds at the maximum level. When I was six years old, my cousin came to stay at my house and gave me bread. As soon as I took a bite, the parrot in the room suddenly screamed: "This cake is poisonous, don't eat it!" I immediately spit out the cake. My mother was angry because I was rude and disrespectful, and punished me to go to the village to repent. It wasn't until three years later that I returned to the palace to discuss the marriage. My parents want to marry me to Prince Te Vuong. The guest bird screamed again: "He has a venereal disease, marry him and your life will be over!" I was so scared that I refused to say anything, and my angry parents married me to a poor scholar. But on the wedding night, the other person vomited blood and died, and I was retired by my husband's family because I was destined to be a husband. The younger sister married into the royal palace, loved her husband and wife, and was given the title of family heirloom. Five years later, my cousin suddenly visited late at night and gave my parents a wooden box. She said that King Qi wanted to accuse the Tham family of treason, and that the box contained evidence. Father was just about to enter the palace. I heard the crow call out again, "There's a problem with this box. Once it's given to the emperor, the Tham family will definitely die without a place to bury!" I quickly grabbed the box and threw it into the fire. But after the box was burned, the inside was actually evidence. The emperor sent people to search the house, my father could not justify it, the whole government died in vain. Before I died, I stared at those birds with mocking eyes, not understanding what I was thinking. Didn't we say they wouldn't lie to us? Why is every sentence a lie? Opening my eyes again, I was back to when my cousin had just entered the palace. …… “Van Thu, this is your cousin Uyen Uyen.” “Her parents have both passed away, from now on they will live in our palace, you must treat people well, don't bully her!” Mother smiled and brought To Uyen in front of me, gently instructing her. To Uyen also timidly gave the food box in her hand to me. She said in a soft voice: "Sister Bieu, I heard aunt said that you like to eat cinnamon flower cakes, so Uyen Uyen personally made some for you." "From now on, Uyen Uyen will not bother you, I hope you will not chase me away..." She cringed and looked both pitiful and pitiful, causing my mother's eyes to immediately turn red and hug her in her arms. As I stared at the deliciously fragrant cakes, warning bells rang in my head. Just like the previous life. As soon as I picked up a piece of cinnamon flower cake, the parrot that had been raised for ten years in the hall suddenly screamed. "This cake is poisonous, don't eat it!" "If you eat it, you will die immediately, and if you don't succeed in your past life, you will be punished by heaven and never be reborn!" In my previous life, I was really scared to death by his sentence. Because before coming to earth, the Phoenix Goddess who had the best relationship with me once secretly told me. She gave a secret order to all the birds and animals in the world, they must be loyal to me, absolutely not lie to me. So in my previous life, I didn't hesitate to spit out the piece of cake I ate, but I also accidentally stepped on it twice. But To Uyen thought I was bullying her, her eyes immediately turned red. Mother didn't like my domineering personality, so when she saw me bullying the orphan sister she loved the most like that, she became even more angry and couldn't stand it. After discussing with my father, they not only forced me to eat all the cake I had trampled on. He even took me to a mandarin in the suburbs and told me to fast and recite Buddha's name for three years! During those three years, I was harshly treated by my grandmother and neglected by my maids. I was not even allowed to eat a bowl of hot rice! As for To Uyen, she became the foster daughter my mother loved the most, was not bad at taking exams, and looked even more like a Marquis's daughter than me. So times

Hey, I smiled coldly. Not listening to the parrot, he directly swallowed the cake into his stomach. Even after finishing eating, I gently smiled at the surprised To Uyen, deliberately showing my friendliness: "Your cousin's skills are really good, the taste is very delicious." "Don't worry, with me here, no one in the palace will dare to bully you in the future!" Mother saw that I understood things like that, smiled happily, and also ate a piece of cake. Seeing her safe and sound, I quietly breathed a sigh of relief. But I don't know why, the way To Uyen looked at me was extremely complicated. Before I could think clearly, a sharp pain suddenly shot through my stomach. The pain came so suddenly that I almost immediately lost consciousness. Before I fainted, I only saw the corner of To Uyen's lips curl up in a strange smile, and the sound of my mother's panicked voice calling for her husband. But I keep thinking and don't understand, the same sentence, why did the parrot lie in the previous life, but this life did not lie to me? What exactly is this? 2 After being in a coma for seven days, I woke up. But when I saw the scary scar on the left side of my face in the mirror, I was so scared that I couldn't speak for a long time. Mother's hand was placed on my shoulder, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she continuously sighed. To Uyen also cried and knelt in front of me, constantly kowtowing her head, begging me for forgiveness. But my mother was heartbroken and pulled her up, only then did she tell me the whole story. It turned out that after I fainted, not only did I vomit blood from my mouth, but scary ulcers appeared on my face. My parents searched everywhere for doctors in the capital but couldn't cure me. They all said they could prepare my funeral. Fortunately, at this time, a scab-headed monk appeared in the palace, telling my parents that I was harmed by evil people and that I was destined to meet this disaster. He also gave them a dose of medicine, saying it could save my life. My parents immediately sent someone to prepare medicine for me to drink. But after taking the medicine, although I kept my life, the scar on the left side of my face could no longer be removed and was directly destroyed. To Uyen continued to cry in her mother's arms. Mother patted her head, then looked at me helplessly. "Van Thu, don't blame Uyen Uyen, this matter has nothing to do with her." "I have already investigated clearly, it was Suong Van who served you, because you once blamed and punished you, so you held a grudge and deliberately designed to frame you." "Uyen Uyen was only punished, she is innocent." I still want to continue questioning. But looking at the appearance of my mother protecting To Uyen, I can only temporarily swallow this anger and pretend to be generous. At night of rest, the Phoenix Goddess actually entered my dream. I just angrily accused her of not being trustworthy at all, none of those birds were good, they all lied to me. But she said seriously: "No, I have placed a ban on all the birds and animals in the world. They will absolutely not lie to you." But when I ask why in my previous life, following their advice always resulted in miserable deaths. Goddess looked awkward again, reluctantly said: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, you need to understand it yourself, I am not at liberty to tell you." "But I can tell you, they really will not deceive you." After saying that, she left. And after waking up, I thought for a long time, but still couldn't find a clue. 3After leaving scars on my face, my mother spent a large amount of money to specially make me a mask made of pure gold. But the news that my appearance was damaged still spread out. For a moment, I became the laughing stock of the ladies in the capital. To Uyen thanks to her serene appearance and gentle personality, she has received many compliments. But we don't pay attention to these little things. After all, I was sent to Zhuangzi in my previous life for three years. I actually ate leftover rice and leftover soup for three years. Now

Despite being subjected to some sarcasm, at least life is still okay. Besides, I don't know if it was because he realized my precautions or not. Although To Uyen will still make me uncomfortable in a few small things, she doesn't dare to really cause any big problems. There is a wonderful balance between us. Until three years later, King Qi still guarded the border and brought his son into the capital. That day, cheers and drums and gongs echoed throughout the big street, and I tossed and turned all night. Because I know, my second nightmare. It's almost here. As expected, the second day after King Qi returned to the capital, he immediately came to my house to pay his respects. He said he was asking after an old friend, but actually he meant to make friends. In the past, when my father had just joined the army, he was a former subordinate of King Qi. Later, he was awarded the title of Marquis and also received many promotions from this old prince. Now that King Qi's glory is no longer the same as it was then, my father is not delaying, but on the contrary, he is trying his best to promote this marriage. Only my mother is in doubt. On the night King Qi came to visit, she even pulled me together, worriedly discussing. "Van Thu, since childhood you have been domineering, speaking one-of-a-kind." "I heard that Prince Qi Vuong Bui Triet is also an arrogant and arrogant person, and even fought fiercely with a small general at the border because of a woman." "If you marry there, I'm afraid it will be inevitable to suffer resentment." "But if you don't agree, your father will be in trouble." Then, she pulled To Uyen, who was bowing her eyes, towards her. "Nuong and Uyen Uyen have discussed, if you don't want to marry into the Royal Palace, then let Uyen Uyen marry you instead." "She has a gentle personality, knows how to advance and retreat, more suitable to survive in the Royal Palace than you." Saying that, as if realizing my hesitation. She quickly said: "Of course, if you still want to marry there, I won't stop you." I'm still thinking. The guest bird on the tree outside the window suddenly screamed: "He has a venereal disease, marry him and you will be finished!" "Your father's disciple, although from a poor family, can be prime minister in the future, he is your destiny!" My hand trembled, almost breaking the tea cup in my hand. Thinking about what Phoenix said in his dream three years ago, I started to get confused again. In the Heavenly Palace, the relationship between me and the Phoenix is the best, she will absolutely not harm me. But if you truly believe this guest bird's words, the outcome of your previous life is very clear. Despite the confusion, I still plan to bet once. I gritted my teeth and said: "Mother, I will marry you!" A trace of disappointment flashed across the mother's face. But he quickly returned to normal and said worriedly: "Okay, I'll go tell your father immediately and decide on your marriage." Having finished speaking, she held To Uyen's hand again and gently said: "Don't be in a hurry, Uyen Uyen." "Auntie has chosen a reader for you. Although his family is poor, he is progressive and honest, and will definitely give you a good future." To Uyen did not show any regrets, on the contrary, she even bowed to her mother to thank her. I thought she was definitely pretending and would use all sorts of tricks to steal my marriage in the future. But unexpectedly, this time she was calm again, even the little things that secretly made me uncomfortable during the day were no longer done. Until the day I got married, before getting on the palanquin, I looked at my relatives in the palace for the last time. From far away from the crowd, I could see a smile flashing at the corner of her lips. Just like the smile when I ate that piece of cake before. My heart is cold, I always feel like something is not right. But no matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out. It wasn't until the veil was lifted that he saw the marks on Bui Triet's face that were hard to hide after washing his face. I immediately felt like I was falling into an ice cellar, instantly understanding the malice in To's smile

Uyen! 4Early the next morning, my whole body was so sore that I almost wanted to die immediately.
