Chapter 12
Chapter 12 — My sister changed her concubine, I was reborn to reclaim my fate
There began to be whispers around. The ladies' eyes continuously glanced back and forth between me and Lieu Uyen Nhu. Lieu Uyen Nhu cried so much that it moved everyone who saw her, each tear fell at the right time and right place.
"Sister, I know you hate me, but I've never really done anything."
"It was my uncle who forced me to replace you. I refused several times, but he refused to listen."
"You're already married to the Marquis, you already have everything. Why are you still forcing me? I have nothing left anymore."
Next to him, someone was suddenly discussing in a low voice.
"It looks really pitiful."
"I heard that the young lady of the Co family was kicked out and is now living in a nunnery outside the city."
"It's really too much to be a big sister to this extent."
Lieu Uyen Nhu continued to perform a humiliating scene in the crowd. I just stood there looking at her. Wait for her to finish acting. She cried for about half a cup of tea, then finally stopped, used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, and then raised her head to look at me. The angle when she raised her head... So precise that it looked like she had practiced it a hundred times.
"Sister, can you please ask Madam Hau to forgive me? I just want to live peacefully and peacefully..."
"Are you done performing?"
I slowly spoke up. Lieu Uyen Nhu paused.
"Mr. told the story at the tea house in the west of the city..."
"Is it what you're looking for?"
She shook her head.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't know?"
I pulled out a piece of paper from my sleeve.
"This is a testimony written by the narrator himself."
"He claimed that someone gave him two taels of silver and a manuscript, telling him to tell it continuously for three days."
"The person who gave him the money was wearing light yellow pants, with a simple silver hairpin on his head, calling himself 'lady' of the Co Palace."
Lieu Uyen Nhu's face gradually turned pale in front of everyone.
"Today you wear white clothes and a wooden brooch."
"But the day you went to tell him the story..."
"Your outfit..."
"Exactly the same outfit I saw you wearing at the last party."
I opened the declaration sheet wide, so that everyone around could see it clearly.
"Liu Uyen Nhu, if you really don't do it..."
"Then let Mr. tell the story and come here to recognize him."
"I have already sent someone to invite him outside the temple gate."
A chorus of cheers immediately rang out in the crowd. Lieu Uyen Nhu took a step back.
"You... you slandered me!"
Right at the temple door suddenly an old voice rang out. The gentleman told the story of being led in by two families of the Hau palace. As soon as he entered, he saw Lieu Uyen Nhu and immediately raised his hand to point.
"It's this lady!"
"It was she who gave me the silver and the manuscript!"
Lieu Uyen Nhu's whole body trembled.
"You're talking nonsense! I don't have it!"
"When the lady gave me the money, she said to me: 'As long as you read the manuscript correctly, there's no need to be afraid if anything happens.' Miss... don't you accept it now?"
The surrounding murmurs quickly turned into clear criticism.
"Oh my, it turns out the rumors were spread by her."
"You're still pretending to be pitiful here, you're really good at acting."
"The young lady that the Gu family raised... tsk tsk."
Lieu Uyen Nhu's face turned from white to red, then purple again. Her lips trembled very much long.
"You... you were all tricked by her!"
"She's the bad guy!"
"She stole my marriage!"
No one responded to her. Lady Hou slowly walked out of the main hall and stood behind me. She didn't say a word. Just standing there... Lieu Uyen Nhu looked at me one last time. Then he hugged his face and turned to run away. While running out of the temple gate, she tripped and fell, her knee hit the stone steps hard, and her skirt was also torn. No one reached out to help her up. After returning from Thanh Hoang Pagoda, everything was peaceful for a few days. Rumors also automatically subsided. The man who told stories at the tea house was chased away. From then on, no tea house dared to invite him to tell stories anymore. But I know... That's not the end. Lieu Uyen Nhu has only lost one game. She will not accept defeat. Sure enough, on the fifth day, a letter from the Co palace was brought to the Marquis palace. But don't send it to me. It was sent to Dinh Vien Marquis. There began to be whispers around. The ladies' eyes continuously glanced back and forth between me and Lieu Uyen Nhu.

It was sent to Dinh Vien Marquis. The letter was written in the name of the Co family, with the joint signatures of more than ten elders in the clan below. The content is very simple:
"The Co family's daughter is disrespectful to her elders, filial to her father, and contrary to her father's virtue. We respectfully hope that the Marquis will strictly discipline her, or send her back to the Co family to continue her education."
