Chapter 7 — Three Years in the Institute of Succeeding

Some people angrily scolded Thua Chi Institute for deceiving the people. There were also people who refused to believe, kneeling on the ground and begging to continue the ceremony. The priest loudly argued: "Everything Vien Thua Chi does is for the peace of Thuong Kinh!" The great-grandmother stepped onto the high platform. She walked very slowly. But each step was extremely steady. "So why did my sister die?" The priest recognized her. His face changed. The great-grandmother walked up to the will and tore it to shreds. "He was only twelve years old that year." "You said he voluntarily kept quiet. When he cried until he lost his voice, did anyone ask him?" The priest was still about to open his mouth. The great-grandmother used a staff to hit him on the back of the knee. He knelt down right in front of everyone. There were cheers from below the stage. Father pushed through the crowd and quickly shouted: "Auntie! This matter has not been concluded yet, the Gu family cannot be implicated!" The grandmother turned to look at him. "Are you scared?" Father's face turned pale. "The Gu family has spent many years for Ky Tue Nu, the reward was also used to repair the temple. Now if we have to pay it back, what will we use to pay?" The grandmother said: "Sold from the street." Father was stunned. "What? "If your ancestors really had a spirit and knew you were using your daughter to exchange for a sign, they probably wouldn't want to stay too comfortable." Someone in the crowd burst out laughing. Father was both embarrassed and angry. "Co Minh Chau volunteered!" The sister on the stage heard this sentence and slowly raised her head. She looked at her father. "What if I'm no longer willing?" Father opened his mouth. The older sister asked again: "I don't want to be Ky Tue Nu anymore. Will father take me home?" Mother nodded while crying. But father was slow and said nothing. Returning the reward means having to sell more than half of the Co family's property. The Gu family's reputation will also be damaged. He couldn't bear it. Finally, my sister understood what I had long understood. Father does not love any specific daughter. He only loves women who can bring benefits to the Co family. In my previous life, it worked for me, so he immediately brought me to the hospital in tears. In this life, my sister took the initiative and he did not hesitate at all. Sister took off the jade tag on her neck. The official shouted: "You dare!" The sister turned around and threw the jade card hard on the ground. The green jade broke into many pieces. "I won't do it anymore." The priest rushed up. Sister raised her hand and slapped him. Her body was weak, the slap was not heavy. But the sound echoed throughout the high platform. "I have been hungry for three years, do you still want me to continue kneeling?"15The Thua Chi Institute was sealed for investigation. The priest arbitrarily changed the old decree, embezzled the offerings, and also hid the cause of death of many Ky Tue Nu generations, so he was escorted to the great prison. The family must return the reward. His father sold two estates but still could not make up for the shortfall, so he could only return the imperial plaque to the government. He felt like he had lost face and didn't step out the door for many days. Mother welcomed the elder sister to the palace. But she refused to enter the main court. She stood in front of the Co Palace gate for a long time, then finally went to the West Court. He was so skinny that he had to stop every few steps. The great-grandmother ordered someone to bring a chair. Sister does not sit. She looked at me. "Will you forgive me?" "No." She didn't expect me to answer so quickly. "The story of my past life..." "I still remember." Her lips trembled. "But in this life I didn't push you." "So I won't take revenge on you." She bowed her head. "I thought you were going to say we were all girls who were used by the Gu family." "That's not wrong." I closed the old notebook in my hand. "But it doesn't mean you were hurt when you were hurt." You hurt me, it's not your fault." She stood there, not saying anything for a long time. I don't urge you either. Finally, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve. Those are the words she secretly wrote last year

Tuesday in the Chengchi Institute. During the time of keeping quiet and not talking, she immediately wrote down the words she wanted to say every day. The paper was filled with her hatred towards me. She hates that I can eat outside the palace. I hate Ta Kinh Xuyen for talking to me. I don't need to suffer when I hate you, but there's still someone standing by my side. By the end of writing, the handwriting began to become chaotic. She wondered, if Ky Tue Nu was truly noble, why could everyone go home, but she was the only one forced to stay there? Sister tore up the piece of paper. "Now I know, in my previous life I hated the wrong person." I said: "It's useless for you to hate your father." "Why?" "He was originally like that. Even if you hate him to death, he will not change." Sister looked towards the main courtyard. The father is there calculating which properties to sell. The guy suddenly laughed. This time, she didn't cry. "That's right." She lived in the West Institute for three months. The great-grandmother did not teach her anything. Just make her eat on time. At first, she often secretly reduced her rations. Every time my great-grandmother found out, she ordered the kitchen to add another meat bun. Sister asked why. The mother-in-law said:
