Chapter 2 — The whole family told me I was not filial, so I immediately helped the Marquis add more people to be filial

He looked at me, his eyes as gentle as the March wind.

“The meaning is luck, it also brings luck.”

He pushed the eternal lock forward again.

“Now the object has returned to its owner.”

I bowed my head and looked at the lock on the case. The word "Lac" on the lock's face has round engravings, and each knife strike is extremely meticulous. The person who wears this lock for me must wish me a happy and peaceful life. I remember the words of the Marquis's wife.

"I wear a long life lock on my body, and behind my ear there is a mark shaped like a peach blossom..."

She remembers the lock, remembers the birthmark. She said she had been looking for me for fifteen years. Thinking like that, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept. Father walked closer to me, reached out and gently stroked my head.

“Nam Tinh.”

He called my name.

"It's up to you to decide whatever you want. It's okay to accept it, it's okay not to accept it. Whether you want to return or not want to return... it's up to you."

His hand stopped on top of my head for a moment.

“No matter what, father will always be my father.”

My eye sockets immediately became hot. I bit my lip, trying to force the heat in the corners of my eyes back, then turned my head to look at my brother. I don't know when he came from the window, stood right next to me, always looking at me. Seeing me looking over, he put his hand down, bent down, and looked at eye level with me.

“Big brother will always be my big brother.”

I caress the eternal lock in my hand. The word "Lac" touches my fingertips. Thinking for a moment, I decided to accept my brother's proposal and go back to check it out. After packing my luggage, I changed into normal clothes, brought the money, hidden weapons, and signal siren prepared by my grandmother, along with Tieu Dao Hong, who my mother said could beat ten people alone, and then set out. Before leaving, my brother advised:

"Think carefully, don't stubbornly rely on force. If you see that the situation is not good, immediately retreat."

“Canh Vuong Palace will forever be my home.”

I nodded seriously. In front of the gate of Thanh Vien Marquis Palace. When Tieu Dao Hong knocked loudly on the gate of the Marquis Palace, the gatekeeper came in and reported for a long time before someone leisurely walked out. It was a young gentleman, dressed in a stone-green robe, with a jade belt around his waist, impeccably neat from top to bottom. He looked at me from top to bottom, his eyes as if he was evaluating an item displayed on the side of the road. Seemingly somewhat dissatisfied, he frowned slightly, the corners of his mouth slightly drooping.

“Is that you?”

His voice carried a hate that was hard to put into words.

"Sure enough, she's a village woman in the wild, doesn't know the rules."

Before I could answer, a young lady stepped out from behind him. She was born with a fragile look, her face was pale, her eyes were sparkling like water, as if she had just cried. She used her handkerchief to gently dab the corner of her eyes, her voice soft and weak:

“Brother, don't be like that.”

Having finished speaking, he turned around and instructed:

“Quickly go in and tell father, say... say that sister has returned.”

The maid replied and left. She turned back to look at me, her gentle eyes mixed with a bit of scrutiny.

"I heard my mother say before, that day when my sister found out about my identity, she ran away in fear. Because of that, my mother was heartbroken for many days, every day she used tears to wash her face... Now that my sister has returned, my mother will definitely be very happy."

Speaking of this, her eyes turned red again. The young prince The other age snorted coldly, pulled her behind him, looked at me and said:

"It's really something that can't be discussed, just a small matter and you don't know the direction. Nha Nhi, you have a noble status, there's no need to humble yourself in front of village women in the mountains like that."

I looked at the two jugglers in front of me, I really didn't understand what they were doing.

“Who are you?”

The young man's face immediately darkened, he was about to get angry, but he protected the girl a little more tightly, before he could open his mouth— From the hallway suddenly came a series of urgent footsteps. The lady I met that day in the medical shop staggered out. Her hair was a bit messy, her clothes were wrinkled, perhaps because she left in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to put on her clothes. Tieu Dao Hong quickly moved her eyes, took a step forward, and raised her hand to stop her. The lady was stopped in front of her by Tieu Dao Hong, but her eyes never left her from beginning to end. The rims of the eyes were red, tears glistened in the eye sockets, the lips trembled several times, and after a while, they softly and carefully called out:

“Nie Niep... it's me... I'm the mother..."

Her voice trembled slightly, as if afraid she would scare me away.
