Chapter 4 — Having been falsely accused by my fiance, I turned around and asked to marry the Crown Prince

I peeled the tangerine and replied calmly.

“Let me write, just tell my father and big brother everything clearly.

"Everyone can rest assured, father will definitely present it to His Majesty, begging to dissolve the marriage between the two palaces."

The eldest sister sat down next to me and poured me a cup of tea.

“To To, why are you so sure?

“Your Majesty wants to cancel the marriage decreed by the Queen Mother. Although there is a reason, it will inevitably lead to gossip.

"Perhaps His Majesty will just want to settle the matter, tell the Tiet family to bow their heads and admit their mistakes and then let it go."

I smiled and shook my head.

“Mother, eldest sister-in-law, you two can rest assured, father has plans in his heart.

"The person who doesn't want to see the Tiet family and the Luc family become in-laws the most is Your Majesty. You will definitely push the boat forward and take this opportunity to help us vent our anger."

Seeing that my sister-in-law was still a bit confused, I decided to clarify everything.

“Father and big brother hold 200,000 armored cavalry in their hands, and are the border troops with the strongest fighting power in Dai Ung territory.

“The Tiet family's palace also came from a military background, and the defense army stationed closest to the capital was also under the command of the Tiet family's palace.

“How can Your Majesty be willing to see the two greatest martial families in the court allying with each other?”

"Moreover, the Tiet palace is the third prince's mother's house. If the power of the Tiet palace is too strong, the Crown Prince in the court will be in an awkward position."

"And your Majesty has long established a reserve army, precisely to prevent other princes from having false thoughts."

"The Queen Mother came from the Tiet family. In the past, she gave marriages to the two palaces. In fact, she was acting on behalf of the Third Prince to attract power."

"Right now, on the outside, it looks like the Luc family's palace is actively going against the Queen Mother's wishes, but in reality, it is in accordance with Her Majesty's holy will, which is also the loyal and patriotic heart of our Luc family palace."

The eldest sister couldn't help but continue asking.

“So... will the Tiet family agree?”

I smiled faintly.

"It's not yet the Tiet family's turn to speak."

In fact, the Tiet family's government has begun to try to save the situation. Hearing that on that very day, Tiet Tu was punished by the family law, old General Tiet became angry. If it weren't for Mrs. Tiet's desperate efforts to stop him, I'm afraid his leg would have been broken by now. The Tiet family's palace did not dare to wait until the next day. On the same day, they prepared the after-party. They went to the Luc family's palace to admit their mistake and apologize. It's just a pity that the main gate of our palace was tightly closed, not giving them a chance to speak at all. In the following days, Tiet's palace invited countless people to come as guest speakers. But without exception, all were rejected right out the door. At this point, no matter how humble the Tiet family was, it no longer had any meaning. This is no longer a normal conflict between the two governments. It was Tiet Tu who thought he had merit, and blatantly bullied the important mandarin's family. He even plotted to slander his own fiancee's reputation. Dignity alone is at a disadvantage. The rumors that Tiet Tu initially intended to spread to people eventually came back to bite the Tiet government. Not knowing the upper or lower levels of the Tiet family's palace, facing the rumors spreading throughout the capital, What will you feel in your heart? Later, I heard that this story shocked the whole Imperial Palace. At court, the royal historian frankly reprimanded the Tiet family for not teaching their children strictly and corrupting the family style. He almost made General Tiet so angry that he fainted. One month later, my father's petition was presented to the palace, pleading for the annulment of the marriage between the two palaces. Sure enough, His Majesty pushed the boat forward, completely extinguishing all hopes of the Tiet family's palace. Even the decree that had been prepared to reward Tiet Tu for his efforts in suppressing bandits was now shelved and not mentioned again. Tiet Tu's future is feared to have been destroyed by more than half. The eldest sister-in-law was afraid that my mood would still be affected by this matter, so she specifically asked someone to listen to the side stories to tell me something fun.

"To To, your guess that day was not wrong at all. That little man named Tiet was indeed having an affair with the younger sister of one of his subordinates while he was fighting bandits!"

"I heard that these past few days the Tiet family's palace has been so chaotic that the chickens and dogs are restless, and Tiet Tu is half alive and half dead."

“At first, General Tiet firmly disagreed.”
