Chapter 1
Chapter 1 — The Venerable Master returned to the world because of me
The sixth year after my death, Ta Cuu Diem still remembers me. Before, every time he visited the grave, he always talked about his past and his children's stories. But this time is different. “Mian Mien, this is the last time I will visit you.” “My family has arranged for me to remarry your sister.” After getting married, they supported each other and gradually developed feelings. That year, the younger sister became pregnant. My child was forgotten by everyone, lying in bed with a high fever that wouldn't stop, and finally died in pain. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the year I entered the millet. Mother asked me if I wanted to agree to marry the Ta family. I shook my head in refusal. 1 Mother's hand suddenly stopped. People's eyes looked at me with suspicion. "You two are childhood friends, growing up together." “Why did you suddenly change your mind?” I looked at my mother, my eyes heated up. In my previous life, after I passed away, the person who was most heartbroken was my mother. Since childhood, he has treated me like a precious pearl in his hand, wholeheartedly caring for and protecting me. Remembering the look of my mother's white hair, my heart aches every time. It seems like mother realized something was wrong with me. “Mian Mien, what's wrong with you?” “Your eyes are also red, is someone bullying you?” I nestled in my mother's arms. "Do not have." “It's just that last night I had a very scary nightmare.” Mother patted my shoulder to comfort me. "If you don't want to get married, don't get married." “Even if you stay at home all your life, mother will still raise you.” Returning to my hospital, I drank a cup of tea and tried to calm down. Rebirth in one life is truly too wild. Just then, a teenager poked his head out from the corner of the wall. “Mien Mien.” “I shouldn't have argued with you yesterday.” "She just got angry and didn't pay any attention to me, causing me to not eat well and sleep peacefully these past few days." Ta Cuu Diem wore a dark red brocade, looking enthusiastic and full of vitality. Such a bright young man, makes it difficult for people to forget him once he meets him. On top of the wall is also placed a bouquet of begonia flowers. The flower petals were still covered in dew, definitely just picked this morning. I look at him, feeling like I've been away for a lifetime. Ta Cuu Diem thought I was still angry and quickly brought the bundle of begonias in front of me. “Mian Mien, please be generous and forgive me.” “I really know it's wrong.” “Or you should hit me twice to vent your anger.” “If not, I won't be able to sleep tonight.” The maid standing under the porch couldn't help but laugh. We close the door. Coldly said: "Ta Cuu Diem, please go." “I don't want to see you.” Ta Cuu Diem stood in the yard, not understanding what had happened. He frantically stood still in place. Hesitantly asked: "Mien Mien, you..." He still wanted to say something, but I bluntly interrupted him. "Fuck off." Ta Cuu Diem's whole body stiffened. Finally, he lost his soul and left. Just leave one sentence: "I'll come look for you again in a few days." I sat motionless on the ground. The pale yellow light of sunset covers his whole body. In everyone's eyes, it is obvious that Ta Cuu Diem and I will get married. We are childhood friends, our two families have been friends for many generations, and we are each other's families. In the capital, anyone who meets us must compliment us on our talent and beauty. No other family can find such a suitable couple. In my previous life, after we got married, he also treated me very well. As a husband, he is gentle and thoughtful, meeting almost all of my requests. The appearance of our love makes even Miss Lam, who has a close relationship with me, unable to help but exclaim: "If my husband had two parts like your husband, I wouldn't be angry with him every day." Her eyes were filled with admiration. “Mian Mien, sometimes I really admire you.” "When I was at home, I was loved by my parents and my brother. After I got married, Ta Cuu Diem protected me." “How can one person's destiny be so good?” At that time, my heart was also filled with joy, thinking that God did not treat me badly. I always think that the rest of my life will be like in the original story, forever happy and perfect. But God does not please people. The day Chieu Nhi was born, I bled and had difficulty giving birth
.e.t. Everything happened so fast. I haven't had time to hold the child yet. Even though we are dead, we live in a different way. I turned into a wild ghost, wandering around the human world. 2 Mother no longer talks about marriage. It's just that I've reached the age of marriage, and there are many people who want to become friends, and they take turns bringing portraits and generous gifts. Not long after, the mother's table was filled with portraits of noblemen. I just arrived cleverly. To be honest, I don't intend to grow old alone. So, I picked up the pictures and looked at them. Seeing that, the mother also came closer. "Thin lips, scattered eyes, you can tell if someone is ungrateful." "The young master of the Song family does not keep his male virtues, but also keeps his family outside." "This person from the Vuong family has a good appearance, but his personality is too old-fashioned and stubborn." Looking through all the scrolls, we still can't find the right person. Outside the door came the sound of the maid's hurried footsteps. It turns out she came to bring a painting. While bringing in portraits of unmarried men, one painting was left in the garden. Mother opened it to look at it, then quickly closed it again a moment later. “This person… forget it, don't watch it.” I was a bit skeptical and took the painting from my mother's hand. Familiar eyebrows and eyes. It turned out to be a guy. Ly Hanh. The mother reluctantly shook her head. “Who mistakenly put a painting of the Ly family's eldest son in here?!” "That child is mysterious all day long. Some people even say that he wants to become a monk in the future." "If she becomes a monk in the future, won't my daughter have to live as a widow?" Suddenly there was a knock on the door. From behind the screen, a woman wearing lotus green clothes stepped out. Gentle eyes, docile and quiet appearance. Trieu Uan is my younger sister, also the person that Ta Cuu Diem married in her previous life as her stepmother. She respectfully bowed. “Mother, elder sister.” Her eyes touched the picture on the table, her whole body suddenly stiffened. After hesitating for a long time, she forced a smile and asked: "It seems that something good is about to happen between the eldest sister and Mr. Ta." Perhaps she thought it was a portrait of Ta Cuu Diem. In my previous life, at this time I was immersed in the joy of being married to the person in my heart, completely unaware that something was wrong with my sister. Mother is about to speak up to explain. I raised my hand to stop her, smiled and said: "That's right." “Next month, you can drink my celebratory wine.” The smile on Trieu Uan's face faded a bit. She still congratulated me with her mouth. It's just that the smile carries some awkwardness and bitterness. It's so obvious, yet in my previous life I never discovered it. It turned out that from this moment on, she liked Ta Cuu Diem. I propped my chin up and asked: "This year, my sister also got married." "I wonder if there is a man in my heart yet?" Trieu Uan quickly waved his hand. “Eldest sister, this cannot be said indiscriminately.” "Wherever the parents put it, the matchmaker sits there." "When it comes to big marriage matters, girls of course have to follow their parents' arrangements." Mother always treated Trieu Uan neither cold nor hot. Because she was the child that her father had with a maid while he was drunk. That maid was once very close to her mother. She was born in the same year as me, only two years younger than me. But whatever happens happens. As for adults, mothers never vent their anger on children. Mother also planned Trieu Uan's marriage. I remember the other person is... "Sister, you're right." "Mother has found a family for me. The other person is a scholar, and many generations of ancestors were farmers." “I wonder what you mean?” I saw Trieu Uan raise his head incredulously. As soon as she heard the four words of many generations of farming, she couldn't sit still. She tightened her handkerchief, her knuckles turning white. “Eldest sister, although I am a concubine, I also come from a prestigious family.” “If you marry that kind of person, it's inevitable that others will laugh at you when you say something.” “If father knew, he would not agree.” I smiled at her. “This person was chosen by father.” Trieu Uan was startled again. She bowed her head, after a long while
looked up at me, tears streaming down his face. “Eldest sister, although I am only a concubine, the family has never mistreated me.” "My sister and mother both treat me very well. Food, clothing, housing, and travel are all carefully taken care of. If I marry a farmer, how will I live in the future?" After speaking, she sobbed loudly. Beauty cries like pear flowers drenched in rain, always making others feel sorry for her. If it were before, I would definitely be soft-hearted. But now it's different. Having gone through her previous life, I know she is not as simple as she looks. Actually, this marriage is not as bad as I just said. The other person's family is a farmer but also does business, and their assets are not small. That scholar is also quite talented and is someone worth cultivating. Even his father praised him after meeting him. In my previous life, after I analyzed the pros and cons for her, she still didn't want to get married. She knelt on the ground, begging me to ask her parents for mercy. We all follow her wishes. My mother and I have never mistreated you. But in her previous life, why did she do such things? I hide the hatred in my eyes. "Wherever the parents put it, the matchmaker sits there." “Sister, I have no choice.” 3 I did not ask my mother to come to the Ta family to cancel the marriage. Mother was very surprised. "If you no longer have feelings for him, why do you still have to keep this engagement?" I smiled reassuringly. “Mother, rest assured.” "We don't need to cancel this marriage. Soon, someone will want to accept it." Mother did not understand what I meant, but still did as I said. The doorman came to tell me the news. It turned out that Ta Cuu Diem came to find me, but was held back by someone else in the garden. When I ran to him, Trieu Uan was crying and fell down at his feet. “Thank you, sir, please save me.” “Eldest sister and mother want to marry me to a farmer family.” "Even though Uan Nhi has a low status and her words have no weight, she still cannot stand such humiliation." As she spoke, she was about to reach out and pull his sleeve. This action has exceeded the norm. Ta Cuu Diem frowned and silently avoided her hand. “Second Miss Trieu, please be careful with your words.” “Mien Mien has a kind nature, absolutely not that kind of person.” “There must be a misunderstanding in this matter.” Trieu Uan cried extremely pitifully. "Know people, know their faces, but don't know their hearts." “Thank you, I really have no way back.” “If even the young master won't help me, I can only die here today.” After saying that, she immediately rushed towards the fake mountain. Ta Cuu Diem has been pampered by her family since childhood. Of course he had never seen such a scene before, so he immediately panicked. At the last moment, he pulled her back. Something in his eyes began to waver. After all, no one would lie about their life. The maid who always serves me wants to rush forward to demand justice. “Second Miss is really talking nonsense.”
