Chapter 8
Chapter 8 — Vuong Phi Tuong Ke Tuu Ke
Before leaving, Lam Chieu Chieu still glared at me angrily. I'm not at all worried that she will take revenge in the future. Because the day Ta Du prepares to squeeze the lemon and peel it is tonight. Lam Chieu Chieu is dead. To be more precise, the person who died was Ly Tri Niem. Three months after she died, Ly Hoai Xuyen brought a long list of bride gifts to ask for her hand in marriage. He almost wiped out the entire Ly family fortune.
"Originally, I wanted to marry you sooner."
“Unfortunately, the person in the family who was not in good health passed away at that time, so I had to wait another three months.”
The corner of my lips showed a sarcastic smile.
“As far as I know, Lord Ly is the first one, right?”
“But the pure gold brooch inlaid with jade bird feathers and the wish-fulfilling jade made of Hoa Dien white jade carved with gold in this bride price list, in the past were all famous treasures throughout the capital.”
“Apparently they were all part of Lady Ly's dowry in the past.”
“You took other people's things as a bride price for me, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate.”
Ly Hoai Xuyen's face became confused, then said contemptuously:
"My younger brother is stupid and stupid, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get married."
“In the future, it is inevitable that I will have to let Ly Palace raise him for the rest of his life.”
“Even if I leave these things to him, it won't be of any use.”
But clearly I heard that Hoai Can's condition has improved a lot. Before, Hoai Can became stupid because he was implicated when Ta Du stole my luck. Recently it has gradually recovered. Thinking of this, I coldly smiled:
“If Lord Ly has such sincerity, what reason do I have for not agreeing?”
Under my repeated pleas, Lam's parents finally agreed to this marriage. Ly Hoai Xuyen was delighted and happily returned home. Two days later, when he asked me to go out on a trip, he kept asking if the wedding could be held earlier or not. I smiled and asked:
“Lord Ly, is it possible that you saw Hoai Can showing signs of recovery, so you hastily used the preparation of the bride price and marriage to transfer the Ly family's assets?”
“He also secretly tried to kill Hoai Can many times.”
“Do you really think no one knows?”
Hearing my familiar tone and that intimate way of calling me, Ly Hoai Xuyen widened his eyes and looked at me incredulously.
“You… how do you know?”
“Could it be that you are…”
“No way!”
“How in the world can such a strange thing happen?”
I gradually pressed closer to him.
“You have done all the bad things.”
"Aren't you afraid that my mother will come back in the middle of the night to find you and demand her life?"
Under my pressure to question every step, Ly Hoai Xuyen was so scared that he slipped and fell into the river. Ly Hoai Xuyen wanted to talk to me privately, so he deliberately chose an extremely deserted place. So I don't have to worry about being discovered by others at all. I leisurely stood by the riverbank and watched him gradually stop moving. At that point, I pretended to be panicked and shouted loudly:
“Come here quickly!”
“Quickly save my fiance!”
After Ly Hoai Xuyen died, I followed the custom in the capital and paid the entire bride price to Hoai Can. After that, I looked for an opportunity to receive my younger brother back. At this time, Hoai Can had completely recovered his sanity. He was extremely excited, determined to leave half of the bride price for me. Only Lam Chieu Chieu's parents occasionally looked at me and wiped their tears.
“The daughter our fate.”
“Why did you become a widow like this?”
But I don't feel any sadness. Human life is impermanent. Instead of committing the rest of your life to a man you've only met a few times, it's better to live alone and freely spend your time. COMPLETE.
