Chapter 1 — The Husband takes on two duties, we reconcile and become a Princess

My husband took care of two rooms. After we separated, I became a princess. After my uncle died, my husband directly took care of both rooms. Half a year later, he passed the poinsettia exam, took his pipe and his nephew and left.

"Tri Kien, I promised big brother to take good care of them. Once I've made arrangements, I'll come back to pick you up."

I waited for five years, but he did not bring back even a single message. A great flood came, washing away our refuge. I took my daughter with me and went to the capital to find a soulmate. The day we knocked on the door of the Poinsettia Palace, we were immediately kicked out. I hugged my daughter and knelt outside the door, bowed my head until her forehead bled, and begged hoarsely:

"My sister-in-law, I beg you and your husband to have mercy and give me and my mother a way to live."

I carried my daughter and left my hometown for a whole month. When you're thirsty, you drink river water, when you're hungry, you eat tree bark, when you're tired, you sleep in a deserted temple. After a bumpy road, you finally reach the capital. The girl on my back feels new to everything, but I find it both strange and familiar. Sixteen years have passed, and we're finally back. I took her along, asked and searched, and finally arrived at the door of the Poinsettia palace. Coincidentally, a horse-drawn carriage stopped there, and a man stepped down from the carriage, with a handsome demeanor and handsome appearance. That's my husband, Tieu Dich Han. I was happy in my heart, but before I could speak, I saw him hold out his hand and a beautiful woman walked down from the car smiling. The two talked and laughed happily, holding hands and walking into the palace. But the gatekeeper did not appear surprised at all. I suddenly realized that it was my sister-in-law, Bach Chi Suong. Six years ago, my uncle went up the mountain to chop firewood, encountered a wild boar, and while being chased, unfortunately fell down a cliff, and soon died from excessive blood loss. Leaving behind a pipe and an orphaned grandchild. Tieu Dich Han felt his uncle's contributions to the family, as well as the fact that he took care of his deceased parents, and proactively offered to take on two rooms. So that my sister-in-law and grandchild have a place to rely on, it's also because I don't want them to be bullied by others. So when he discussed it with me, I immediately agreed. After that, our two rooms merged into one house. She feels sorry for me, she competes for everything, and we live together in harmony. But she was a few years older than me, worked hard all year round, and her whole body was thin and emaciated. But the person I just saw, not only had fair skin, but his whole body also exuded aura, like a noble in the palace. I raised my hand to touch my face. With my current appearance, if I were to say that I am your grandmother, I'm afraid someone would believe me. I felt even more lucky in my heart, luckily I had taken my daughter to the inn to take a shower and change her clothes, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been treated as a beggar and sent away. I took out a piece of jade pendant and gave it to the gatekeeper: "If you would please pass the word, tell Tieu Dich Han, someone from his hometown has arrived." This jade pendant was the year when Tieu Dich Han and I got married, I gave it to you, it was a yin and yang jade, used as a token. The gatekeeper looked at me, looked up and down a few times, but didn't move at all.

"Nowadays, it's true that any kind of cat or dog dares to pretend to be anything, even pretending to be so impressive, you think you only need to know the name of our poinsettia to be able to impersonate us. Star?"

After speaking, he pushed me and my daughter hard, I fell down the steps, hugged my daughter tightly to protect me. I checked to see that the girl was not injured, so I went up to argue with the gatekeeper. He also refused to give up. Seeing that he couldn't argue with me, he called a few guards to come, wielding swords and swords to chase us away. At this moment, a familiar male voice rang out in the palace.

"What are you doing? If you dare to make noise in front of the door in broad daylight, are all the guards in the palace dead?"

The girl behind me ran up and hugged Tieu Dich Han's thigh.

“Dad, dad.”

Tieu Dich Han looked at the girl, then looked at me, his face full of surprise. By the time I sat in the hall, it was already a week after tea. Tieu Dich Han was holding jade pendants and other objects for identification, occasionally glancing at me. I didn't expect that the first meeting after five years between me and Tieu Dich Han would be this difficult.

“Now you believe that I am your wife, this is your daughter, are there any more doubts?”

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples: "Sorry, Tri Kien, the capital is too big, I have to act carefully." I nodded, showing understanding, and was about to open my mouth to speak when I heard hurried footsteps outside. Bach Chi Suong saw me, looked excited, and pulled my hand.

"Tri Kien, you're finally here. You don't know how much I've missed you these past few years."

"This time when you come, I will definitely take you around the capital. When you return, I will bring many specialties."

I slightly curled the corners of my lips: "This time, Niep Nie and I won't come back. Since you guys won't come to pick me up, then we'll come ourselves." Bach Chi Suong's face immediately changed. I looked at Tieu Dich Han, his face was not very pleasing to the eye. The two of them exchanged a look, Bach Chi Suong burst into laughter.

"Tri Kien, I know you haven't seen Dich Han in five years, and you must miss him very much. You two should stay together well these few days. I absolutely won't fight with you."

Having finished speaking, she pulled me and Niep Nie out.

"On the way, you and your mother must have endured a lot of hardships. I'll take you to get things sorted out first, and wait for us to have a reunion dinner together tonight as a family."

We were dragged by her for a whole hour before we stopped and she pushed us inside. Following in was a group of maids. Bach Chi Suong commanded them orderly, looking very much like the mother's mother. With each "yes, ma'am", after half an hour, we sat down again.
