Chapter 11 — My sister changed her concubine, I was reborn to reclaim my fate

Tham Hoai Du raised his head and looked at me.

"She married here."

"It's someone from the Marquis's residence."

"Her story."

"It's the matter of the Marquis's residence."

"My father also has some connections at court."

"Her father is just a fifth-grade Emperor Thiem Do Ngu."

Tham Hoai Du turned a page of the document, his tone still calm.

"His network..."

"It's not enough for my mother to clean it up with a letter."

"You can rest assured to solve your problems."

"What about outside?"

"Let me keep an eye on it."

That is the longest paragraph that Tham Hoai Du has ever told me since I married into the Marquis palace. I nodded slightly and returned to the inner room. Lying in bed, I thought for a long time. Lieu Uyen Nhu will not stand still. She has been doing business in everything in the Palace for eleven years. From the age of five... Until the age of sixteen. More than half of the maids and maids in the palace are her people. Father's study room. Relationships. She understands better than me. She will definitely counterattack. We still don't know. How will she use it? Arrived faster than we thought. Three days later. A rumor spread throughout half of the capital.

"The Co family's daughter did not maintain female principles. Before getting married, she secretly planned to spend her life with someone else. Without the knowledge of the Dinh Vien Marquis, she married a woman who was no longer pure."

Rumors began to spread from a tea house in the west of the city. A storyteller made up a story. Although he did not name anyone, the details in it were clearly about me. Which one is "the golden daughter of a young Khanh Dai Ly", which is "marrying into the Marquis palace with a martial background", which is "before getting married, she had a lover who was a scholar". The story was so fabricated that it seemed real. Trieu ma ma was so angry that she was shaking all over.

"This... this is definitely Liu Uyen Nhu's doing! She bribed Mr. to tell the story!"

"Mom, don't rush."

"How can I not be in a hurry? If these words reach Madam Hou's ears..."

"It's been transmitted."

Lady Hau's close maid Thanh Truc walked in carrying a bowl of bird's nest and gently placed it on the table.

"Young lady, everyone has heard the rumors outside. You told the young lady not to pay attention, the Marquis will not believe it."

"Madam has one more thing to say."

"What sentence?"

"'Those who make up stories are guilty of guilt, those who spread stories are stupid. Wait for the wind to pass, whoever lies will have to bear it himself.'"

I thanked Thanh Truc, then told Mama Trieu to go out first. Madam can calm down. But we don't. Once this type of rumor has taken root, even if it is later cleared, there will still be people pointing fingers behind your back. Lieu Uyen Nhu chose an extremely cruel angle. She knew that the process of marrying into the Marquis's palace was already full of controversy, so she took that opportunity to make everyone think that "the reason why the Co family suddenly changed the marriage partner was because the original daughter did not maintain modesty." She is using the reversal to reverse me. We cannot sit and wait for the wind to calm down on its own. We must make the wind... Blow back. That afternoon, I went to Mrs. Hou's hospital.

"Mother, I want to handle this rumor myself."

Madam Hou put down the rosary in her hand.

"How are you going to handle it?"

"I want to find the gentleman who told the story, directly asked clearly who gave him the script."

"And then?"

"After that, I want to ask mother to help me with something."

Mrs. Hau looked at me for a long time.

"Try it."

"Three days later is the Thanh Hoang pagoda festival, the ladies and young ladies in the capital will all come to offer incense. I want to say this right there, in front of everyone."

"Not to justify."

"It's to make those spreading rumors..."

"Step out yourself."

Mrs. Hau pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"I will go with you."

Three days later. Thanh Hoang Pagoda. The square in front of the temple was crowded with people. The carriages of the palaces were lined up in a long line, and ladies and young ladies, in groups of five and three, entered the temple to offer incense. I followed Mrs. Hau all the way to the main hall. As soon as he finished offering incense, he turned around... Then he bumped into someone. Lieu Uyen Nhu. She wore a simple white outfit, her hair was only tied up with a wooden hairpin, and her face had no makeup on. The whole person looked extremely pitiful. Like an orphan girl being bullied to the extreme by others. The moment she saw me... Tears immediately welled up in her eyes. Her voice is not loud. But just enough for everyone standing within a few feet to hear clearly.

"Why do you treat me like that?"
