Chapter 2 — He Gave The Wrong Concubine, I Received The Correct Queen's Throne

Lam Ngoc Dao's face immediately turned pale. Tham Le's face also darkened.

"Who are you calling dirty?"

I calmly replied:

"Who's guilty..."

"Then admit it yourself."

The whole hall immediately stirred. The mother was so frantic that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Stop saying a few words!"

Father lowered his voice. It sounds like you're begging me. But it's like... warning me.

"Take a step back."

"After all, you are the eldest daughter, you must think about the image of the Prime Minister's palace."

I look at my father.

"The face of the Prime Minister's Palace... is it using your face in exchange?"

He choked. Tham Le stared at me.

"What do you want?"

"Return the bride price."

Then I turned to look at my father.

"And from today onwards, I will not use a single grain of rice from the Prime Minister's palace."

Parents laughed coldly.

"Leaving the Prime Minister's Palace, where else can I go?"

"A girl like you, who in this whole capital would dare to harbor her?"

I don't answer. Right at that moment. Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves outside the door. The family man holding the gate staggered into the main hall and fell to the ground.

"Master! People from the palace are here!"

His father's expression immediately changed. Everyone stood up simultaneously. An inner servant entered the hall, holding a bright yellow holy scroll in his hand. His eyes swept across the hall. Finally stopped on me.

"Miss Lam, receive the order."

Parents were stunned. The mother let her sleeves hang down, her whole body seemed to have been drained of strength. Lam Ngoc Dao still held the marriage letter tightly in her arms, the tears on her face had not yet dried. Tham Le frowned slightly and looked at me. The inner servant slowly opened the holy scroll. High-pitched voice. But each word weighs a thousand pounds.

"The Queen Mother has instructions."

"The eldest daughter of the Truyen Lam family immediately entered the palace."

"No delay."

I knelt down to receive instructions. All the guests in the lobby also knelt together. Those who were waiting to see my joke just now all bowed their heads. Tham Le did not kneel immediately. He looked at me first. There was doubt in those eyes. There is anger. There was also some humiliation because I felt insulted. Lam Ngoc Dao held the marriage letter tightly in her arms, kneeling with her body wobbling. Her belly is still not clearly visible. However, both hands were tightly covered in front of her stomach. As if afraid that someone would steal his biggest card. The inner servant handed the holy order into my hand.

"Miss Lam, the driver is waiting outside."

I reached out my hands to receive it.

"Thank you very much."

Only then did his father regain his senses and quickly smiled to please.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother suddenly summoned this young lady to the palace... don't you know there's something important?"

The inner servant smiled but seemed not to laugh.

"If you want to know, Prime Minister..."

"Then just go to the palace and ask the Queen Mother."

The smile on his father's face immediately stiffened. He did not dare to ask any more. Mother crawled to my side, lowering her voice.

"Daughter, when you go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, absolutely don't talk nonsense."

"What happened today... it's okay for everyone as a family to close the door and tell each other."

"My sister is pregnant, I can't stand being scared."

I look at her.

"I was scared too."

She stopped. I calmly continued:

"But you never asked... if I was in pain or not."

The mother's eyes turned red.

"Mother... is also helpless."

I quietly withdrew my sleeve.

"You have never been without a way."

"It's just... every time there's a way, people use it on me child."

Her lips trembled slightly. Want to say something. But in the end, he was speechless. I stood up, turned around and walked out. Right at that moment. Lam Ngoc Dao suddenly called me back. We stop. She was still kneeling on the ground, her face full of tears.

"Don't hate me, sister."

"The general and I truly love each other."

"If you want to blame... then blame me alone."

I turned my head to look at her.

"Don't worry."

A glint of pride immediately flashed in her eyes. I finished slowly:

"Blame everyone individually."

Lam Ngoc Dao's cries immediately choked up. Tham Le stood up, blocking her behind.

"Miss Lam, that's enough."

"Ngoc Dao has endured enough humiliation for her."

"What else do you want?"

I look at him. Suddenly it felt so funny.

"Have you ever read military books?"

He frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"Stealing other people's things."

"And then you criticize the person who was robbed standing there as an eyesore."

"That kind of battle..."

"Can't win."

His face immediately turned pale.

"If she walked out of the Prime Minister's palace today..."

"Then our engagement will no longer be saved."

I nodded slightly.

"That's right."

We walked across the threshold of the hall. Behind him, his father's angry shouts were immediately heard.

"If you had walked away..."

"Then don't come back anymore!"

I never looked back. Outside the gate of the Prime Minister's Palace. A distant bow was waiting.
