Chapter 4 — To Nhuoc

"Do you think you can have today?" I remained silent on the spot. The whole body hurts like it was cut by a knife. Her aunt was originally the maid next to her mother. One time my father was drunk. People mistook her for their mother. Just that one night. I have you. At that time, the princess actually had someone in her heart. In just a few days, we can leave the government for export. But when I was born. She bled and died. Before her death, she entrusted me to my mother. Mother treats me like her own child. Teach me to read books, become literate and plan my marriage. Never made me feel inferior to anyone. But it turns out... In the eyes of the boss. All those good things... Just a favor. Something different. It turns out... It has always existed. ...So what big brother means is..." "Since you were born, your fate has been one step lower than big sister's, right?" Big brother's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something. There was a hint of regret in his eyes. But the words that have been spoken... are like water that has been poured away. Even if you want to take it back, you can't. I remember... Big brother wasn't like that before. At that time, he had not yet become as cold and tough as he is now. That summer afternoon, my brother once took me to the tree in the backyard to catch cicadas. On a snowy winter day, you squatted down in the hallway and carefully adjusted the portable heater for me. One time, I stubbornly climbed a tree to get a kite stuck on a branch. Be careful not to slip. The whole person fell straight down. He did not hesitate at all. Immediately he opened his arms to receive me. The two of them fell hard to the ground. His wrist was twisted right there, swollen as big as a dumpling. Yet he still grinned at me. "A Nhuoc." "You should lose weight."... Tieu family... Has agreed to let me marry him. Big brother came to announce the news. "The Tieu family has agreed." "The wedding will be held on the eighth day of next month." I was so frightened that the tea cup in my hand fell to the ground. "I have not agreed yet." Big brother frowned and was about to open his mouth. Father's voice was heard behind him. "Confused." Father tiredly walked through the threshold. The body still carries the cold air of the long journey. "A Nhuoc." "You are becoming more and more stubborn and arbitrary." "I have found a marriage for your sister." "It is the Marquis of the Vinh An Palace." "The two have known each other since childhood, their feelings are very deep." "If Nguyet Thuc had not been kidnapped that year..." "They would have gotten married a long time ago." "The Marquis of Vinh An Palace also did not care that he had been married." "That is the blessing of the Marquis of Vinh An." "I quickly asked: "What about Lau Jun Yan?" "What if he comes back?" Father looked at me, "Can't come back anymore." "The army is about to return triumphantly." "I asked an acquaintance in the army." "Going through the list from beginning to end..." "There is no one named Lau Jun Yan." I immediately asked: "What about Lau Yen?" Father was stunned. "Lau Yen?" "Isn't that his senior's name?" Lau Quan Yan has a senior named Lau. But Yen died in battle many years ago. In his previous life... Lau Quan Viem borrowed his elder brother's name. From the sea of corpses and mountains of blood, a path emerges. In the end, he became a General Lau who was feared by everyone. Father pondered for a moment. "I will send someone to ask again." "But for now, Tieu Can Nien refuses to let Nguyet Thuc meet his son." "He cries every day until his eyes are swollen." "I'll go to the Tieu family once." "Give him good advice." "A Nhuoc." "Your sister has suffered too much in her whole life." "She has a good relationship..." "It's her blessing." "Don't ruin her future." I took a deep breath. slightly. Just wait a little longer. As long as father can look up Lau Yen's name... he will definitely know that Lau Quan Viem is still alive. Until then. No one will force me to marry Tieu Can Nien anymore. "The daughter is clear."... I changed into a light-colored outfit. Then again

to Tieu family. Night gradually falls. The lantern in Tieu Palace has been lit. Pale yellow light covers the green stone steps. Tieu Can Nien sat in the main hall looking at the books. Lien Sinh sat next to him and practiced writing. He didn't bother to raise his head. "It's you again." I walked in. Sit down opposite him. Straight to the point." Young Master Tieu." "I came because of my sister." "She wanted to see Lien Sinh." "You stopped me, she was very hurt." Tieu Can Nien turned a page in the notebook. His voice carried a bit of sarcasm. "When she broke up..." "Did you ever think Lien Sinh would be heartbroken?" "She also had suffering..." "Suffering?" Only then did he raise his head. The corner of his lips curled up into a cold smile. "Third Miss." "Do you think that..." "If you just bring out your sister..." "I would be soft-hearted?" He looked at me for a long time. "Think carefully..." "You and Nguyet Thuc also have three parts in common." "I have thought it through." "If you people of the To family were happy to compensate me with another wife..." "Then I accept." "But..." "To Nhuoc." "You can only do that." concubine." I clenched my fist in my sleeve. Swallowing down the resentment that was rising in his heart. "Mr. Tieu." "I already have a fiance." "I won't be your concubine." He sneered. "To Nhuoc." "If you really had a fiance..." "Your big brother wouldn't have been eager to bring you to me." "Believe it or not." I took a step back. "I won't marry you." I turned around to leave. Right at that moment. The nanny rushed in. His face was full of panic. "Young Master." "Young Master got angry again." "Refused to go to sleep." "And broke a lot of things." Tieu Can Nien's eyes fell on him. He ordered. "You go comfort it." "I won't go." "In that case..." "Don't let your sister see Lien Sinh again." My steps stopped. I know... He can say it.
