Chapter 2 — Thiem Ha Xuan

I looked at her proud back and her old happy outfit and just wanted to smile. Giang Oan Hoa's mother was just a maid, of course she had no dowry. Tham Lan Thanh came from a cold background and could not afford a bride price. In my previous life, when I married him, from the bride price to all the wedding expenses, I paid for it. And now he doesn't even have the money to sew a new wedding outfit for Giang Oan Hoa. She can only wear other people's old clothes. I'm really curious... will that poor couple have the sweet happiness that Tham Lan Thanh imagined in her previous life? The suona trumpet sounded loudly. My sister and I were happily helped by her onto two flower palanquins. The two convoys rolled in two different directions. The spring breeze gently lifted the curtain on the palanquin, I tilted my head slightly to look out. Just happened to meet the eyes of Tham Lan Thanh who was looking over. I coldly turned my head back. The palanquin curtain falls over the departing group. … In the room, the candlelight swayed, striking the eyes with the brilliant red color of the great day of joy. The bed was full of dried longans and lotus seeds. I wore a red veil and quietly waited for Ta Duong to appear. His steps were somewhat unsteady, as if he had drunk a lot of alcohol. He let the little man who was supporting him back, holding the scale and walking towards me step by step. Even though I've been married once, facing this scene, I still can't help but feel nervous. I unconsciously tightened the embroidered handkerchief in my palm. The veil was lifted and I raised my head to look at him. Ta Duong's eyes were misty, shining with a gentle smile. Under the dim candlelight, his dark red uniform accentuated his pink lips, white teeth, and incredibly handsome face. The jewel-encrusted crown on his forehead makes him appear arrogant, unruly but still extremely noble. I suddenly remembered Jiang Oan Hoa's words about the status of royal family members. Just looking at this face of Ta Duong is enough to know how much Ta Quy Phi is devoted to the country. Indeed, His Majesty's eyes for choosing people are not bad. I was constantly thinking, my mind was already flying somewhere. In the end, Ta Duong pulled me back to reality. He threw the scales aside, picked up two cups of wine and gave one to me. His cheeks were red, his eyes were drunk and dreamy, every sentence and every word seemed to be making a rule with me. "Now we have worshiped heaven and earth, sitting in the same bed, you are the family. There are a few things the family must explain to you clearly." My eyelashes moved, I thought he was going to talk about drinking flower wine and going to the castle. So I just calmly replied: "You tell me." Ta Duong brought the cup of wine in front of me, his handsome face suddenly magnified before my eyes. "This family has a very wide acquaintance in the capital, and has long heard about the story between the lady and that surnamed Tham. This family is a person who values face very much." "Since you're married, I warn you, don't cheat on me. If you save face for me, I will definitely save face for you in the future."... Even though it's a warning on the outside, But his tone was light, as if he was deliberately trying to sound fierce. I wasn't scared at all, on the contrary, I was momentarily speechless. "Is that all you want to say? Don't worry, I promise I won't cheat on you." "Don't even glance at him." "When did I glance at him?" "The day I proposed a few days ago, she kept looking at him." I rolled my eyes. Is that a flirting glance? It was clearly a look of hatred. But there's no use talking to a drunk guy, so I just nodded and let it go. In my previous life, I remember very clearly that Ta Duong did not enter Giang Oan Hoa's new room, he clearly stayed outside all night. Why is it that after being resurrected once, the events have changed? While thinking, Ta Duong suddenly...

Leaning closer, he squinted his eyes, his voice full of mystery. "What needs to be said has been said, ma'am, we should also get to the main thing." He got closer and closer, I leaned back with my hands on the bed, holding my breath, my heart suddenly tightened. "Wh... what's the main thing?" "Of course it's something that should be done on the night of getting married." That's not right! This development is not correct! Not only did he not go, he still wanted to sleep with me? I had never thought about this before, so I immediately panicked. Seeing him getting closer and closer, in a panic, I grabbed an embroidered pillow on the bed and threw it at him. Ta Duong suddenly grabbed my wrist, moving quickly, conveniently locking my hands above my head. His eyes, which were still tipsy, immediately became alert. Our hearts are shocked. He's not drunk. Even knows martial arts! Too surprised, I blurted out and asked: "You know martial arts?" Ta Duong stopped about an arm's length away from me, raised his eyebrows and smiled. "This guy never said he didn't know." My heart was cold, even if I wanted to resist, I couldn't resist. I closed my eyes, waiting for this greedy guy to disrespect me. But his face did not look down. On the contrary, before my surprised eyes, he took out... a chess board. "Play chess with me!"... I really don't understand what Ta Duong was thinking, why he wanted to play Go with me. After all, from the age of seven, under the guidance of my grandfather, I worshiped Huyen Co, a Ky Thanh, as my master. If you play with me, aren't there only losing moves? As expected, Ta Duong lost to death. But his chess playing behavior is so poor that whenever he sees that he is about to lose, he immediately complains and wants to play again. He dragged me to play chess until morning. We both have extra panda eyes. Indeed, what the people said was not wrong, this playboy boy really knows how to torment others! Early the next morning, Ta Duong and I returned to Giang Palace. As soon as she entered the door, she was teased by the Jiang family's butler: "Miss, you should also know how to be restrained on the night of your wedding."
