“People will not believe me”, he thought, “And when I am prisoned, who will take care of my parent?”
The more he thought, the more he felt confused. At last, he had no choice but to do a thing he had never thought about, burying his lover under his room floor. Hurriedly, he found a shovel, dug up the floor and made a deep hole. Later, he hug his lover one more time, cried.
“If God gave me chance, I will never let you go away from me”, he cried.

People searched everywhere in the mansion they also went to the groom’s house to search but they didn’t find her. Few days had passed they had no sign. The landlord strong belief that his daughter had harmed herself at somewhere far away from home. Besides, he didn’t want to make the thing loudly coming to greed mandarins and soldiers. Consequently, he and his family only lamented to people who were very close to them. The missing girl only became a story of their neighbors and then was forgotten.
But, if we can rebirth, I will marry with you that time.”
But it’s nothing when the mandarin told them his love story which he had kept in secret for many years. He told the story with eyes filled full of tears. At last, he pointed at landlord’s daughter and said:
“She was reborn. I can believe but that is true. God is real”.
 Later, the landlord allowed the mandarin to marry with the girl and a happy wedding was held with attendances of the king and other mandarins. After that, the mandarin brought his wife to his hometown to meet his family. He also didn’t forget to bring her to house of the landlord couple who he had stayed in his home before. The landlord’s mouth immediately fell open as he saw a woman was like his daughter. Of course, he had much more surprise as the mandarin told him about his dead daughter. Firstly, he didn’t believe but after servant dug up the place the mandarin pointed and found the bones, he trusted that what he was heard was true his daughter had died.
Though, the mandarin still considered the landlord couple as his parent-in-law so he had two parents-in-law and treated all them well. He and his wife had a happy life until they died.
