Chapter 6 — Three Years in the Institute of Succeeding

Lady Ta wore a light-colored dress and stood at the front of the crowd. Her voice is not loud. But every word could be heard clearly. "The priest said it had reached consummation. You have lived in the hospital for nearly three years, have you ever heard anyone mention it?" The sister opened her mouth. The priest shouted solemnly: "Don't make any noise on the altar!" Lady Ta did not back down. "I just want to ask one question. Before I died, my daughter asked to see her mother, why didn't anyone let her go?" The sister looked towards the priest. Obviously she didn't know what to say. After a while, the sister replied according to the content of the will: "All generations of Ky Tue Nu have taken great justice seriously. Miss Ta has chosen to stay in the yard, of course that is also her choice." Lady Ta's face lost the last bit of blood. Finally, Ta Kinh Xuyen also raised his head. He looked at his sister, his eyes cold to the end. "She was only thirteen years old at that time." She panicked. "These things have nothing to do with me!" "Just now, you replaced Vien Thua Chi and said that she volunteered." "It's written like that in the will!" "So you don't need to know the truth, just reading it out loud is enough?" Sister's breathing became rapid. Instinctively, she looked towards me. I stand in the crowd, not avoiding it. She suddenly realized that things weren't going the way she remembered. "It's you!" She pointed at me. "Co Minh Lan, you told them to come and destroy the ceremony!" I stepped onto the first stone step. "Lady Ta came to ask why her daughter died, no need to listen to my arrangements." "Shut up!" She turned around to look at Ta Kinh Xuyen. "I endured three years in the Thua Chi Institute! I completed all my loves." I can endure better than you, and I am more worthy of standing here than you!" Ta Kinh Xuyen asked: "You want me to like you?" Her face immediately turned red. Under the stage, soft sounds of conversation rang out. But my sister no longer cared. "In my previous life..." She suddenly stopped. Ta Kinh Xuyen's expression did not change. "You think I like Co Minh Lan because she once stood on Vong Tue stage?" Sister did not answer. But the look on his face said it all. 13I stepped onto the high platform. The priest raised his hand to stop. The great-grandmother below raised her ebony staff. He immediately withdrew his hand. I stood in front of my sister. "In my previous life, on this day, I did not read the will." My sister shook her head. "No way." I took out the old notebook from my sleeve. "I read the names of twelve people." Ta Chieu Ninh. Chu Nguyet Nghi. Tham Thanh Ha. Trinh Ngoc An. Every time we read a name, someone in the crowd burst into tears. Those are their family members. The great-grandmother soon spread the news to each family. They have waited for this day for so long. The older sister stepped back step by step. "Then why did Ta Kinh Xuyen go up to the stage?" Ta Kinh Xuyen answered for me: "Because the priest wanted to pull her down." In my previous life, after I read all the names, people from the Thua Chi Institute rushed to the high stage. Ta Kinh Xuyen stood in front of me. During the chaos, my hands were always shaking. He held my hand because he was afraid I wouldn't be able to stand. Later, he and I went to meet the family members of each person who died. When I couldn't sleep, he would sit outside the Co Palace wall and talk to me through a courtyard wall. When I was scolded by my father and chased away by people in my clan, it was he and my grandmother who helped me get through the most difficult days. He has never complimented me on my beautiful white shirt. Never mentioned Ky Tue Nu's noble status. The first time he expressed his thoughts to me, he only said one sentence: "You dare to speak the truth, I am willing to listen for the rest of my life." After listening, the blood on her face gradually receded. "So... isn't it because of Ky Tue Nu's identity?" I said: "From beginning to end, you misunderstood." Because of a wrong answer, she lived in the Institute.

Succeeding for three years. He endured hunger and thirst, forced himself to be silent, and even when he had the chance to leave, he persistently returned. She believes that as long as she endures the same suffering, she will receive the same love. But she never cared about those who died. I've never thought about why I fought against the priest in my previous life. Sister muttered: "So what are my three years worth?" I did not comfort her. "This is your own choice." Tears fell from her eyes. "You already knew, why didn't you tell me?" "I once told you that you can eat a few meals a day in the Thua Chi Institute." "I also advised you to read all the wills." "You don't believe it." Sister suddenly laughed. She laughed very softly, but the tears still kept falling. "Co Minh Lan, you must be very proud." I looked at her. "In my previous life, I died in your hands." "Seeing you regret today, I truly feel very satisfied." She raised her head. I continued: "But I didn't come up here to see you cry." I opened the old book, pointing those twelve names towards the crowd. "They have waited too long." 14 The eunuch intended to rob the old book. Ta Kinh Xuyen stopped him. The palace servant immediately stepped onto the stage and read the original decree. The crowd was in complete chaos.
