Chapter 3 — When I heard that my Husband had died in battle, I immediately fled to Giang Nam. Who would have thought that he...

4That year, father and mother always wanted a daughter, but they never gave birth. It wasn't until they gave birth to four sons in a row that they finally gave up hope and adopted a little girl, named To Ngu Yen. Therefore, eldest sister To Ngu Yen is pampered by the whole family like a treasure. Right at that moment, my mother died again. Ever since I was born, my father and mother were always afraid that if they treated me too well, they would make the elder sister cold. I was born with a more beautiful appearance than my eldest sister, and was often praised and flattered by relatives. The elder sister cried all night because of being ignored by others. From then on, my father and mother began to teach me to dress modestly and rustically, and told me that a red face was a disaster, and that a beautiful appearance would only bring disaster. During a family banquet, I spontaneously wrote a poem. My talent surprised the whole hall. All my relatives praised me as a childhood Ly Thanh Chieu. The elder sister cried all night again. So my father and mother taught me that a woman without talent is virtuous, she must embrace simplicity and clumsiness. During the horse riding and archery competition of my brothers, I showed my talent, and my brothers all praised me as a hero among women. Elder sister again, again, cried all night. My father and mother immediately scolded me for not being consistent, what else could a woman on a horse and shooting an archer look like?! Under the tutelage of my father and mother for many years, the eldest sister became a famous talented woman in the capital, while I, the second lady of the To family, became a background person who could not step up to elegance. It's not that I don't know that my father and mother are biased. It's just that I naively thought that as long as I obediently followed their instructions and yielded to my eldest sister in everything, my father and mother would look at me with different eyes. We don't care about external material things or people's compliments. I just hope my father and mother will love me a little more. In the palace that rewards flower palaces, I don't mind the fact that the eldest sister chooses and then it's my turn. The top quality bird's nests were brought back from the Western Regions, and I didn't care that my father and mother put my eldest sister first. Therefore, later on, when it came to the son of the Ta family, I did not care about the elder sister choosing and then leaving it to me. 5 Even though he was an elder sister who did not need it, Ta Uan Chu was still a dragon and phoenix in the human world. At a young age, he was nominated by the golden board and passed the exam. The Ta and To families have always had good relations. Although Ta Uan Chu fell in love with his eldest sister, if his eldest sister chose Ta Huyen as his big brother, then he had no reason to go against the family's arrangements and naturally married me as his wife. I still remember clearly the moment the veil was lifted in my previous life. Because of family style and upbringing, Ta Uan Chu tried his best to suppress the disapproving look in his eyes. But he didn't know that since childhood, my mother had always taught me to give up all my makeup and intentionally dress flashy and vulgar to serve as a backdrop for the gentle elegance of my eldest sister. Even the wedding night is the same. On my face, I put two red blushes on my cheeks, looking so natural and rustic that I couldn't stand it. After getting married, the eldest sister is always a prominent person everywhere. As for me, I strictly followed my teachings, hiding my talents to the point of being like a maid. Ta Uan Chu loves his eldest sister, but after all she is his sister-in-law, so he can only watch from afar, not daring to take another step forward. So he took a step back and lived with me in harmony. I also treated him with respect. He fell ill, I stayed by his side day and night, cutting it myself

Then, spoon by spoon, spoon by spoon was fed to his mouth. His official uniform was threaded, I sat under candlelight all night to mend every stitch. His knees are not good, the cold weather makes his bones hurt, I personally sew each pair of socks for him... Not for anything else. Just because it is the duty of a wife. He also respects me more and more. We also gave birth to a boy and a girl. Until later, Ta Huyen died in battle on the battlefield, Ta Uan Chu welcomed his widow, his sister-in-law, back to his palace. In the name of care. The biased treatment that my father and mother once gave me... Once again happened to Ta Uan Chu. Therefore, from eating, clothing, spending, spending, whatever is good, the elder sister is given priority first.
