Chapter 3 — 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 her previous life, she also said the same words. At that time, I cried until my heart was paralyzed, hugged her arm and said that I would force him to resume the engagement. She sighed and finally complied with my wishes. In this life, I won't cry anymore.

“Mother.”

I grabbed her hand and looked straight into her eyes: "In Tham Nghien Chi's heart, there are no children. After getting married, it's just a lonely situation. If sooner or later they will become a resentful couple, it's better to cut them off now." Mother was silent for a long time, then finally sighed softly: "Okay, if you think clearly, I won't force you anymore. It's just your marriage..."

“I already have an idea.”

I pursed my lips slightly and said in a low voice: "General Tran Bac Palace's third young master, Tieu Canh Dich." Mother's hand holding the cup of tea suddenly paused: "Tieu Canh Dich? Haven't you always been incompatible with him since childhood?" When mentioning Tieu Canh Dich, everyone in the capital knows it clearly. The Marquis of Tinh An's Palace and General Tran Bac's Palace were originally at odds. Since childhood, Tieu Canh Dich had always followed behind me, but in my eyes at that time there was only Tham Nghien Chi. He talked to me, I felt annoyed. He gave me something, but I said it wasn't worth it. With great difficulty, he was able to return home, and even used his military merit to beg His Majesty for a reward, yet I conveniently hung that imperial tortoiseshell necklace in Tham Nghien Chi's study. Later, he was completely heartbroken and disappointed. Before going to Bac Canh, he said the last sentence to me: "Luong Chieu Ninh, don't regret it in the future." Later, I really regretted it. Mother stared at me for a long time, then slowly said: "Last year, the third son of the Tieu family achieved great success in Mac Bac. He was just appointed by His Majesty as General Chieu Vu. His future is indeed not bad. But there was a problem between you and him. Will he agree to marry you?"

"Whether he is willing or not, just ask and you'll know." I said, "Anyway, it's better to marry Tham Nghien Chi."

The mother pondered for a moment, then finally nodded: "Then let's try. A few days ago, the wife of General Tran Bac Palace also came to the palace to sit and play. In addition to her words, she asked about my marriage. It seems that the Tieu family has no dissatisfaction." My heart finally relaxed half a breath. In his previous life, Tieu Canh Dich waited for me for so many years, in this life, in return, he let me step by step towards him. Mother asked again: "Have you really thought about it carefully? Have you really let it go?"

“Let it go.”

I smiled softly: "Right now, my daughter just feels extremely relieved." Returning to the room, I began to remember some things from my previous life. I am the eldest daughter of the Luong family, my father holds the position of Minister of Public Affairs, and my elder brother works as an editor at the Hanlin Institute. In my previous life, if I hadn't been implicated by the Luong family, Tham Nghien Chi would not have dared to trample me to such an extent. Neither his father nor his brother were the type of corrupt people. The crimes of his previous life were all fabricated by Tham Nghien Chi and the Tu family behind his back. In this life, we must prepare and plan ahead. First, I went to the study room to meet my father. My father was reading the dispatch from the Ministry of Public Works. When he saw me coming in, he immediately put down his pen and smiled and asked: "What is the matter with A Chieu coming here?" We order letters kissed his letter condemnation. The smile on his father's face immediately stiffened.

“What is this?”

“Kissing letter.” I calmly replied, "Written by Tham Nghien Chi himself, the daughter also signed it."

His father's face suddenly sank, he picked up the letter, kissed it, read it, then slammed it on the table: "That's unreasonable! What does Tham Nghien Chi think of our Luong family!"

“Father, don't be angry.”

I poured him a cup of tea: "The daughter signed voluntarily."

"In Tam Nghien Chi's heart, he did not have a daughter, so he forced himself to keep this marriage, and his daughter will not be happy in the future."

Father looked at me for a long time, his chest heaving a few times, and finally sighed: "You girl, your intentions are getting bigger and bigger. But have you thought about it, once you give up, your reputation..."

"Reputation or not, girls don't care." I smiled softly, "As long as our Luong family remains safe and sound, it is stronger than anything else."

Father did not hear the deep meaning in what I said. I took the opportunity to speak: "Father, there is something I want to tell you."

"This year, the amount of money allocated by the Ministry of Public Works to repair the river, who is responsible for handling it?"

Father was slightly stunned: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

“I heard some rumors.”

I pondered every sentence and every word: "I heard that there are a few big people in the Ministry of Finance stealing river silver, the amount is not small. Although father is not directly involved, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be people operating outside in your name. You should still investigate a little."
