Chapter 7 — He Thought I Was Still Waiting For His Palanquin, But The Divine Order Has Come To My Palace

I just lowered my eyes and quietly drank tea, not paying attention to his eyes that kept looking at me. However, he still shamelessly blocked me next to the fake mountain. As if he had forgotten everything that happened a few days ago, his voice was urgent

"I was confused that day. Don't be angry anymore. Quickly call the archers who don't know that to leave. Tu Tam was once grateful to the queen mother, and now she's about to be rewarded. How can she let her wife be oppressed by someone else?"

What he said was too clear. He wants me to be a wife for the Tham family. Wanting both fame and fortune, he really doesn't know how shameless he is. I tried to suppress my anger and asked again

"Marriage is a big deal, it must be decided by the parents, and by the matchmaker. What does it mean when the crown prince comes to ask me every time? I cannot represent your father, not even your mother. Whoever you want to marry, please don't come and ask me."

I turned around to leave, but he reached out and pulled my wrist tightly.

"You have to have moderation in your anger, don't overdo it. If this continues, you won't be able to maintain your normal position."

He thought I was just saying I was angry. I saw that his hand touching me was too dirty, so I couldn't help but raised my hand and slapped him in the face.

“Do I still have to thank you for humiliating me by reducing me from being a wife to a concubine?”

He was stunned, just as he was about to attack, he seemed to remember the shameless behavior of the previous day, his eyes immediately avoided, his voice also lowered.

"I know you feel sorry for yourself, but if you don't marry me, then who else can you marry? You also know very well what the outcome will be for a woman whose marriage has been rejected. Do you have the heart to implicate the whole Lam family because of some personal resentment? I'm afraid your father under the golden stream will find it difficult to rest easy."

"Nam Nhiem, be a little better. From now on, you still have to live under Tu Tam's hands, coax her a little, let her vent her anger in front of outsiders. Once she calms down, everything will be fine."

Because her shoes and socks were wet, Du Tu Tam was sitting by the lake waiting for someone to come and serve her. Tham Trac Nien wanted me to humble myself, take my shoes and socks and walk forward, letting her mock me at will, using my bowing and submission as entertainment to please her. The pent-up anger that had been pent up for many days made me unable to hold back and raise my hand again. A crisp echo, so strong that even my arms went numb.

"You see, it hurts when someone slaps you in the face. Now the pain falls on your face, can you feel it?"

Me and Tham Trac Nien once again broke up unhappy. He gritted his teeth and walked away, but still didn't forget to say a cold word

“You keep being so arrogant, don't destroy your own character in the future.”

The Tham family took eight large palanquins, brought great gifts, and welcomed Du Tu Tam into the door. Compared to me - who was the only daughter of a famous general in the previous dynasty, it is obvious that Du Tu Tam, who was personally supported by the Queen Mother, has more dignity and value. In the gossip throughout the capital, the Tham family was no longer a grateful family, but just a group of petty people chasing profits. Wanting to gain real power and maintain their reputation, the Tham family had to personally come to the door to deliver the invitation. The words were insinuated, making it seem like they still valued the relationship between the two families. If the Lam family doesn't care, they can accept Du Tu Tam as their daughter-in-law. In this way, not only can you keep your old love, but you can also learn from the Queen of England. serving the same husband, saving face for the Lam family. Mother didn't say a word, she ordered someone to pick up a broom and sweep straight out the door. Mrs. Tham didn't bother to maintain her gentle appearance anymore, she immediately laughed coldly and said bitter words

"Everyone in the capital doesn't know that Lam Nhiem has followed our A Nien since she was a child. Her reputation has long been no longer clean. Now people are raising you as a wife and still criticizing you. I'm afraid that even if I cry and beg in the future, I won't get my share."

My mother was so angry that she turned pale, she personally picked up a basin of water to wash her feet and threw it directly on her head.

"Your Shen family, you don't have that blessing."

After that, the mother spoke both angry and panicked

"If it weren't for your marriage being decided now, this humiliation, the Lam family could only grit their teeth and swallow it down."

She paused for a moment, then continued softly

"Your Majesty has his own judgment. The ancient emperor has not completely destroyed the older generation in the court. If I were to appear too soon, I would definitely become a living target for people to target."
