Chapter 7 — Champion Flower Queen

The entire Lam family has no one worth relying on. Parents are selfish and useless. Mother has heart but no strength. Although my brother and sister-in-law treated me well, unfortunately their abilities were limited and they couldn't help me too much. The main room and the second room always stand on the same side. On normal days, nothing is better. Whenever something happens, everyone only knows how to force me to sacrifice. Xuan Hanh asked again:
"The horse has been cured. Are you planning to return to the palace?"
“Not coming back.”
15 I still underestimate the shamelessness of the second aunt. She couldn't bear to let the daughter she married to Giang Tuan suffer, but instead she plotted against me. Reasons are extremely available. Anyway, my reputation is ruined. Marrying Giang Tuan won't hurt either. And Lam Lo can find a higher marriage.
"Lo Nhi marrying into a noble family is also a part of supporting the Lam family."
To put it bluntly: You've lost your reputation anyway. Marrying the waste man Giang Tuan is considered taking advantage of waste. I was so angry that I burst out laughing. The second aunt saw that I did not answer, so she simply tore her face. She put her hands on her hips, pointed at my mother's nose and scolded:
"Miss Truong, if you agree, you must also agree. If you disagree, you must also agree!"
“If not, then split the family!”
“Get the three of you out and self-destruct!”
The mother was so angry that her whole body trembled. The fingers holding the towel turned white. Her lips trembled for a long time, but she could not say a word of rebuttal. The mother's maternal family has been in decline for a long time. Normally, she completely relies on money from work to live. Second brother and younger brother are still reading books and need money everywhere. The most useless person is my father. The second uncle just let out two cruel sentences, and his spine immediately softened. He turned to advise me:
"Marry Lo Nhi instead."
“That is the duty of a son.”
“Don't be ignorant of good and bad.”
I came directly to find great uncle.
“Great uncle.”
I stood in front of him, looking straight without avoiding him.
"In order to help people solve disasters, I don't even need fame."
"Now the second uncle is using his reputation to pressure me, trying to force me to fill in the Jiang family's hole."
"Great Uncle only knows how to love Third Sister, can't he love me just once?"
The great uncle had not just been released from prison for a few days, but he lost his position and was fined silver. In his heart, he was already ashamed. Being questioned so directly, his ears immediately turned red. Even though this person doesn't have any great skills, luckily he still knows how to save face. While his guilt and gratitude had not yet cooled, I immediately demanded five hundred taels of silver in compensation. After that, he also coordinated with the main room to force the second uncle to retreat.
“If the second younger sister still wants to split the family…”
The aunt's face was solemn.
“Then you two separate rooms.”

The second aunt was immediately stunned. She always thought that the second room and the main room were on the same side. Normally, she is used to being arrogant in front of my mother. But she forgot that her aunt was the most pragmatic person in the capital. No matter how useless the third chamber was, she had just stepped in to solve her husband's misfortune. At this time, the room cannot be ungrateful. The second uncle chose this moment to demand the division of the family, but also wanted to unite the big house to force the three houses. Heavenly time, favorable terrain, and human harmony are all absent. In the end, it only makes you lose face. The grandmother made the final decision: Lam Lo must marry Giang Tuan. Even though the grandmother loved her daughter, this path was chosen by mother and daughter. When they saw Giang Tuan break the kiss with me and then hold out the olive branch to them, the two of them immediately took it, not thinking at all whether the olive branch had thorns or not. Later, just because of one sentence from Giang Tuan, they even fought over each other to force me to pay a price to become a concubine. Selfish to the extreme. Now they have to taste the bitter fruit, of course it's them. 16 On the third day after the wedding, Lam Lo returned home alone. The makeup on her face was blurred by tears. As soon as she saw me, she immediately pointed her finger angrily.
"Lam Tuyet, if you had agreed to marry me into the Giang family before, how could there have been so many problems?"
I rolled my eyes.
"When Giang Tuan got engaged to me, everything went smoothly."
“Why does he constantly have bad luck when he becomes a sister?”
“Could it be that you hate him?”
“You!”
“Today's outcome is your own doing.”
“Giang Tuan and you, a scum, a despicable person.”
“Deserve it.”
These words reached Giang Tuan's ears. He believes even more that Lam Lo hates him. From then on, if you don't hit him, scold him. Lam Lo cried every day, his hatred for me increased another level. The second aunt is heartbroken for her daughter and hates me to the bone. She started going around ruining my reputation. She said that a girl like me, staying at Thai Bo Temple with a group of men for more than a month, has long since lost any reputation. But she forgot. Everyone knows that I came to Thai Bo temple to help great uncle solve the disaster. The more she screamed, the more the great uncle was put on the grill. The great uncle was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, so he directly asked the great-uncle to come forward and lock the second great-uncle into the temple. At that time, I was squatting in the small courtyard rented outside, brushing the old hen's feathers, and at the same time clearing my mind for the old man's fighting cock to enjoy.
“How many days locked up?”
I asked Xuan Hanh.
“Say at least a month.”
I opened the cock's beak, inspected it, and without raising my head said:
“One month is a bit short.”
“She has so many things going on in her mouth, so let her be quiet longer.”
The fighting cock clucked twice, as if it was accompanying. 17 After I opened my mind and taught me tactics, my father's fighting cock finally won a match. The old man placed a few pieces of white silver on the small table and smiled approvingly.
“Good daughter, father keeps his word.”
“If you win, I will share the money with you.”
I accepted the silver without emotion and looked up at him.
“The person who has agreed with me must also be able to do it.”
“If not, I can help the winner, or make the loser lose.”
Patriarch rubbed his hands, feeling a bit awkward.
"If you don't get married, it's already terrifying enough for the world."
“Now I still want to establish a female household…”
“Father has been out long enough.”
I turned my head.
“Where are you, bring your ancestors back…”
“Wait!”
Patriarch immediately gave up.
“If you establish a female household, you will establish a female household.”
“Your Majesty has such courage, Father will definitely help you.”
