Chapter 8 — White Cat Leads Good Luck

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, the maid rushed over, her face not looking good.
“Miss, the eldest lady's side is making a fuss again.”
“What's the fuss about?”
"The matter of being punished by the maids in the palace during the day. After returning, the eldest lady destroyed the entire room's furniture, said she was extremely humiliated, and even made a fuss about committing suicide."
Again. From childhood to adulthood, every time something unsatisfactory happened, she wanted to live and die. Every time he scared his father and mother into pieces, they obediently followed her request.
"The lady and the old master are advising the eldest lady. Young Master Bui is also there."
The maid lowered her voice:
“Mr. Bui said he wanted to meet someone.”
I didn't go to my sister, Bui Thieu came to my hospital. He coldly stared at me.
"You feel very proud, don't you? Chieu Nguyet was slapped in front of everyone by the mama in the palace, now the whole capital is laughing at her. All because she was determined to do this marriage proposal!"
"You're angry with me, I accept it. But you shouldn't involve Chieu Nguyet."
"If you still think about sisterly feelings, please go and beg His Majesty to revoke the edict and end this farce."
To this day, Bui Thieu still thinks that everything I did was just to be angry with him. Outside the door came the sound of footsteps. Father and mother have arrived. As soon as the mother entered, she used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes and choked:
"Chieu Linh, my sister's face is so swollen that she no longer has any shape, and she can't even eat rice. What should I do?"
Her father stood behind her, his face dark, and he asked in a rough voice:
“This marriage proposal, you must accept it?”
I put down the tea cup.
"The holy decree has been given, how can you not accept it?"
“So you can't think of a way?”
Mother was impatient and moved forward.
"Although it is difficult to refuse a royal marriage, if you take the initiative to withdraw, saying that your body is not good, that you are not suitable to have children, or that the eight characters are not suitable... there is a way."
She and her father exchanged looks.
"Your father and I have discussed. Should Chieu Nguyet marry the Second Prince on your behalf?"
The atmosphere was silent for a moment. Mother said as if it were a matter of course:
"Nguyet Nhi is smart and clever, and has a beautiful appearance. As long as the Second Prince stays with her for a long time, she will definitely like her."
“Shining Spirit.”
She looked at Bui Thieu.
"In Thieu Nhi's heart, there are always children. The two of them grew up together since childhood, understanding each other's origins. Isn't marrying Thieu Nhi very good?"
His parents were next to him to add:
"The person above is a reasonable person. There is still room for change in this matter. You just need to do as mother says, and when the time comes, I will give my opinion."
“I feel that my aunt's intentions are very good.”
Bui Thieu looked at me, his eyes looking down from alms from above.
"Now things have become like this, as long as Chieu Nguyet can get what she wants, I will obey her. After all, she is Chieu Nguyet's sister. After she marries, I will treat her well."
Nausea. I looked at the three eloquent faces before me, my stomach immediately churning. Let my sister step into the royal family and enjoy the glory, let me marry into the Bui family to be my wife. Both face and benefits, they want to take it all. Because of Lu Chieu Nguyet, this group of people can't wait to strip me of my skin and bones, squeezing out the last drop of blood. In In their eyes, I am not a human being. I'm just an object. An item that can be moved back and forth at will, used to make room for Lu Chieu Nguyet.

I put the tea cup on the table and smirked:
"Why from childhood to adulthood, you two have always favored your sister and treated me like I don't exist?"
Parents shouted loudly:
"What nonsense are you talking about? When have I and your mother ever mistreated you?"
I stood up, my eyes falling on my mother's face.
"Mother, you always say that everything is for the good of your sister. But are you favoring her like this, in the end because you love her, or because she is a testament to the 'love' between you and your father?"
The mother's face changed, her eyes avoided.
“What nonsense are you talking about?!”
"Lu Chieu Nguyet was born when the two people's feelings were passionate. And I was a human who disregarded the doctor's advice and forced myself to take birth control pills to hold on to my husband who was raising a child outside."
The hall immediately fell into deathly silence. Bui Thieu opened his eyes wide and looked at his father in disbelief. I did not hesitate to expose this veil, tearing apart the facade of dignity that they had pretended to be for more than ten years.
"You wholeheartedly expected to be able to give birth to a son, pulling your father's heart back from the woman in Binh Khang ward. But what was the result? The child was born a girl. Because of taking drugs indiscriminately, your body was damaged, from then on you could no longer have children. Therefore, I became the failed chess piece that you two did not want to talk about the most."
I looked at my mother's pale face and said word by word:
"The person who devoted all his love to Lu Chieu Nguyet, tried to use this fake family harmony to hide the two people's cracked marriage, to hide his father's betrayal in the past."
“But based on what?”
