Chapter 10 — My Husband's Sister Said I Was Just A Decoration

The doctor's office received a check from the Tong family. Even Ta Tan Uyen once ordered that suspicious points in the pulse chart be temporarily suppressed. People are full of nonsense. The Ta family's face has been completely put on display in front of everyone. Mrs. Ta immediately ordered the palace to be escorted to the firewood house. At the same time, he ordered the night manager to check all the books of the medical room. Anyone who had a hand in distributing medicinal materials to Nhan Dong hospital... No one was allowed to leave the palace. Ta Tan Uyen intended to say goodbye to the guests first. Old lady Ta just looked at him coldly.

"If you rush to see off guests now, tomorrow it will be spread out, people will not only say that Tong Minh Thuc is pregnant."

"But also... Ta family is guilty."

Ta Tan Uyen did not say another word. I stood to the side and said softly:

"Old lady, today the guests have all been startled. It's best to tell the kitchen to bring back hot tea. As for the matter in the palace... just close the door and slowly investigate."

Mrs. Ta nodded slightly.

“Go make arrangements.”

When I turned around and left. Ta Tan Uyen glanced at me slightly. In those eyes... There was awkwardness. There are also a few extra precautions. That night. The torches in the Ta palace were bright until the third hour. Tong Minh Thuc was detained in Nhan Dong hospital. She cried and screamed all night long. Sometimes it was said that the government slandered her. Sometimes he said he wanted to kill her. Ta Tan Uyen went to Nhan Dong hospital once. It's not yet time to drink half a cup of tea. He walked out. The next morning. Ta Tan Uyen arrived at the main courtyard. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said:

“I want to bring Minh Thuc back to the Tong family.”

I'm looking at the medicinal records that were checked all night long. Hear those words. I close the book.

“If the general wants to take her away, I will not stop him.”

He frowned slightly.

"Aren't you afraid that after returning to the Tong family, she will continue to cause trouble?"

I calmly replied.

“But what I fear more is…”

"Outsiders would think that as soon as something happened to the Ta family, they immediately pushed someone to take the blame."

Ta Tan Uyen did not answer. I poured him a cup of tea.

"Miss Bieu has openly said in front of everyone that she carries the blood of the Ta family in her belly."

“Now the investigation shows that there is absolutely no baby.”

"The physician again declared that the suspicious points in the vein were ordered by him to be temporarily suppressed."

“In the meantime…”

“If we bring the lady back to the Song family again…”

"Outsiders only think that the Ta family really has something wrong."

He held a cup of tea in his hand. Put your fingertips on the rim of the cup for a long time. It didn't move for a long time. I continued slowly:

“If only…”

“Give her a title.”

Ta Tan Uyen immediately raised his head to look at me. I never avoided those eyes.

“When she was still a young lady, every time she made a mistake, you could tell that she was physically weak.”

“But if she has become the Ta family's concubine…”

“If you continue to cause trouble in the future…”

“Then everything will have to be handled according to family law.”

He understands. Keeping Tong Minh Thuc in the Ta family, using rules to hold her down, is even better than sending her back to the Tong family. Mrs. Ta also agreed with that approach. On the third day, outside Nhan Dong hospital, lanterns were tied with red silk ribbons were all taken down and replaced with normal green lights. Tong Minh Thuc couldn't wait for Ta Tan Uyen to come forward and vindicate her. What she was waiting for was just a document. Mrs. Ta personally decided to let Tong Minh Thuc enter the palace as a concubine. There was no banquet, no guests, no banquet, just ordered the housekeeper to take her to the main courtyard and give me a cup of tea from the concubine's room. When someone helped her into the main courtyard, her eyes were red and swollen, and her clothes had also changed to light blue. The manageress reminded in a low voice:

“Concubine Song, please have some tea.”

Tong Minh Thuc suddenly raised his head.

“What do you call me?”

The lady bowed her head and replied:

"The old lady has instructed that from now on everyone in the palace will address you as Concubine Tong."

Tong Minh Thuc immediately turned his head to look at Ta Tan Uyen. He stood by the door. From beginning to end, he never opened his mouth to help her. Her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the tea spilled out and flowed into the tray. I did not urge you. Waiting until she knelt down and offered the tea cup in front of me with both hands, I reached out to receive it, just lightly touching my lips.

"Auntie Song's body isn't feeling well, go back and rest."

Her tears immediately fell.
