Chapter 4 — The Sister Who Stealed the Merit to Save People, I Smiled and Conceded Even to the Crown Prince

After the Queen left Lieu palace, the whole palace was immersed in a strange atmosphere. Lieu Phong Nhan appeared happy. Tiet Ngoc Truc couldn't hide his smile. Even the servants in the palace knew. Second Miss is about to change her life. The person was personally asked by the Queen. He was also the benefactor who saved the Crown Prince's life. Just need Dong Cung to open his mouth. Willow Nhu Yen will immediately fly to a high branch. Become the master that countless people admire. In their eyes. Eldest Miss Lieu Lang Suong is nothing more than a superfluous person. Obviously female. But since the wife passed away. His position in the government is increasingly blurred. Bach Lo was so angry that he gritted his teeth. She helped me change the tea and muttered:

“It's not fair.”

“Obviously the credit is yours.”

“And yet the whole palace ran to flatter Second Miss.”

I sit in front of the window. His eyes quietly looked out at the garden outside. The early summer wind blew. The leaves moved slightly. There are no ripples in our hearts. If it was a previous life. Maybe we will be heartbroken. Will be angry. Will not be satisfied. But now. I just find it funny. Because we know clearly. Something that Lieu Nhu Yen is proud of. Not a blessing. It's a road with no return. I called softly.

“The person I want to marry.”

“Never been a Crown Prince.”

Bach Lo was stunned. She looked at me bewildered.

“Miss?”

I don't explain. Just slowly open the wooden box placed in the drawer. There is a white jade pendant. Jade is old. But still very carefully preserved. Bach Lo saw the jade pendant. His face immediately changed. She remembers now. I once went to Giang Nam with my mother. That same trip. We meet someone. Someone who was a lifetime ago. I have never forgotten. Three years ago. Jiangnan rains very heavily. The boat carrying me and my mother got stuck on the riverbank. I wanted to have fun so I ran down to the wharf to watch the rain. As a result, he slipped and fell into the mud. I was both angry and embarrassed. I'm struggling and don't know how to get up. An oil-paper umbrella covered the top of his head. I looked up. Saw a teenager wearing a blue uniform. Elegant appearance. Mild temperament. The corners of his lips carried a faint smile.

“Miss.”

“The ground is slippery, be careful.”

I look at him. In an instant. Even forgot to react. The young man reached out and pulled me up. Very gentle movements. But also very polite. There was no disrespect at all. That was the first time I met Tham Thanh Du. I just know. He is from Jiangnan. Both parents passed away early. Living alone in a small house by the river. Life is not rich. But extremely free. Days in Jiangnan. We often find excuses to go out. Sometimes I buy books. Time to buy medicine. Time to admire the scenery. But actually. Just wanted to meet him. And Tham Thanh Du also seems to understand my thoughts. He didn't speak. I don't say either. But every time we meet. His eyes involuntarily looked to the other person. The day we left Jiangnan. It's still raining. Tham Thanh Du stood by the dock. Give me this jade pendant.

“If there is fate in the future.”

“I will go to the capital to find the lady.”

I smiled and asked:

“What if there is no fate?”

The teenager was silent for a long time. Finally, he replied softly:

“Then I will try to create fate.”

I laughed for a long time. I just feel like this person is stupid. But after returning to the capital. I just realized. I have another person in my heart. Someone we always remember when it rains. A person I hope to see again more than anyone. Bach Lo looked at me blankly. She couldn't help but ask:

“Miss.”

“Do you still remember that Mr. Tham?”

I bow my head. Fingertips gently caress the pearl's face. The corners of the lips suddenly curled up.

“How can you not remember?”

Previous life. I'm still waiting. Wait for him to come to the capital. Waiting for that year's promise to come true. But in the end. I was forced to marry the Crown Prince. After becoming a body. I've heard it before. There was a gentleman from Jiangnan who came to the capital to look for someone. He stood outside the palace for a long time. Then quietly left. We don't know who that person is. Until you die. I just learned it from someone else's mouth. That person is Tham Thanh Du. He has arrived. I just don't have the chance to see him anymore. Think about this. My eye sockets suddenly felt hot. Previous life. I have betrayed too many people. Dear parents. Support yourself. It also depends on the person who treated me honestly. But this time. I won't be like that anymore. I will not step on the old path. I won't let myself get caught up in the Eastern Palace either. The sunlight gradually leans towards the West. The sound of birds singing echoed in the garden. I slowly closed the wooden box. Then squeeze the jade pendant in the palm of your hand. His normally calm eyes suddenly became determined. Previous life. I missed that appointment. But this life. I won't miss it again. I clasped the jade pendant in my hand. This time I will definitely come to see you.
