Chapter 1
Chapter 1 — When I was born, the day I got divorced, I turned around and married the person who had been waiting for me all my life
In my previous life, I was publicly divorced by the Crown Prince of Tinh An Palace, Tham Nghien Chi, right in front of everyone. In just one night, I became the biggest joke in the whole capital. But at that time, I was not satisfied. Based on the fact that my mother came from a prime minister's palace, she stubbornly held on to that engagement once again. Later, Tham Nghien Chi inherited the title of Marquis. And I also logically became Mrs. Hou. But in return... The room is not cold for six years. I watched with my own eyes as he brought concubine after concubine into the palace. He even gave all his housekeeping rights to his step-sister To Uyen Thanh, allowing her to step by step oppress and trample on me until I had no face left. And my righteous husband... From beginning to end, he stood coldly watching. Until I opened my eyes again. I returned on the same day that year. The day Tham Nghien Chi wanted to divorce me in the flower hall of the Hau palace. I accepted that divorce letter. As for the person Tham Nghien Chi... I don't need him anymore.
"Miss, your side has sent your mother to invite you, saying that the Tham family is here."
The voice of maid Phuc Linh came from behind, carrying a bit of caution. The previous life was also like that. Mom quickly ran to convey the message, saying that Tham Nghien Chi had personally come to the palace and wanted to greet Mrs. Hau. At that time, I was so happy that I was like a lost soul. I even specially changed into a new pomegranate red dress and wore the most precious pure gold knife and brooch. My heart was filled with anticipation, thinking that he had come to discuss the wedding matter. As a result, he brought a kiss letter. In the middle of a hall full of guests, right in front of all the relatives of the Marquis Palace, he knelt neatly in front of my mother, said that he and To Uyen Thanh were in love, and that in this life he would not marry anyone else except her, and begged his mother to make it happen. Afterwards, what did we do? I rushed straight to the lobby, in front of everyone, pointed straight at Tham Nghien Chi's face and scolded him for breaking his trust and breaking his promise, and scolded To Uyen Thanh for coming from a lowly background from a poor family with a small door but still daring to climb high, imagining the position of Crown Princess of the Marquis Palace. I used the Luong family's kindness towards the Marquis to force him. Use the marriage letter to pressure him. Using his status as a prime minister to coerce him. He indeed admitted that engagement. But six years after we got married, the number of times he touched me could only be counted on the fingers of one hand. To Uyen Thanh was raised by him in a mansion in the east of the city, and every month he spent up to twenty days staying there. I caused a commotion, he coldly asked me: "Who insisted on marrying into the Marquis Palace that year?" When I made things difficult for To Uyen Thanh, he took away my housekeeper's rights. Later, To Uyen Thanh gave birth to a son, he even carried the baby in front of me, saying he wanted to register his name in my name as his own. I don't agree. Later, the Luong family collapsed, my father was accused of embezzlement, and my elder brother was stripped of his reputation. I knelt outside his study all night, begging him to respect his former love and help him. He opened the door, but the words that came out of his mouth were: "If you had given up the position of Lady Hau to Uyen Thanh that year, how could it have come to this?" Later, his father died in exile, The elder brother was crippled and lost a leg, his whole life was considered ruined. As for me, in the Buddha Hall in the back yard of the Marquis Palace, I used a white silk strip to hang myself. The day I died, To Uyen Thanh even brought someone to clean up my hospital, with a gentle and gentle smile on her face. Phuc Linh's call pulled me out of those memories. I took a deep breath, stood in front of the bronze mirror, took down that pure gold knife set, and changed it into a simple silver brooch.
“The eldest lady has arrived.”
Mom lifted up the curtain, I stepped inside, first bowed to my mother who was sitting in the main chair, then in turn asked the concubines to sit in the next chair, be polite, not arrogant or arrogant. It wasn't until the end that my eyes stopped on Tham Nghien Chi. He sat in the first position under his mother's left hand, wearing a moon-white robe embroidered with dark cloud patterns. His appearance was handsome and elegant, his face like jade. Still exactly like in my memory. However, my heart no longer vibrates even half a part for him anymore. He nodded slightly, his eyes glanced over the person, then fell on To Uyen Thanh sitting next to him. Today, To Uyen Thanh is wearing a light blue dress like water, her hair is tied in a bunk style, with only a simple silk flower in her sideburns, looking elegant and worldly.
