Chapter 16 — My sister changed her concubine, I was reborn to reclaim my fate

I ordered someone to deliver a copy of that diary to Luc Hoai An. The next day, Luc Hoai An took that diary and entered Do Sat Vien. Initially, the case of Co Chinh Vien's dowry embezzlement was just a matter of private morality, and at most he was dismissed from his position. But when this diary was added, the nature of the case was completely different. From the beginning, he intentionally deceived the Luc family and intentionally canceled the contract. Twenty years of planning... In just one day, it was all exposed. Three days later, the news came again. Co Chinh Vien was dismissed and will never be appointed as an official again. That very day, the Co clan held a meeting and unanimously decided to abolish Co Chinh Vien's position as Patriarch, temporarily assigning Tam Thuc Cong to replace him. I'm not coming. But Mother Zhao brought back news.

"Liu Uyen Nhu was also present at the meeting."

"What did she say?"

"She didn't say anything. She knelt in front of the door, begging the clan elders to accept her."

"What do the clan elders say?"

"Third Uncle said that Lieu Uyen Nhu was not from the Co family, the Co family had no obligation to accept her, and told her to find her own way to live."

"Is she gone?"

"Gone. Carry a bag of luggage and leave through the back door."

I nodded slightly.

"Mom, please have someone follow her."

"She won't disappear that easily."

The look on Trieu's face told me... She thought so too. Lieu Uyen Nhu disappeared for half a month. During that half month, there were no turbulences. After dealing with my mother's dowry, three thousand acres of good fields and two shops were all returned in my name. Life in Hau's palace gradually calmed down. The second sister-in-law of the second room no longer said bitter words after the party that day.

"My aunt came here today to ask a question. How do the Marquis and Co family plan to deal with him? Give us a clear word so we can take him back."

Mrs. Hau looked at me.

"This matter should be left to Niem Khanh to decide."

"Miss, where is Lieu Uyen Nhu now?"

The woman hesitated a bit.

"It's at Bach Van hermitage outside the city."

"Is it Lieu Uyen Nhu who told you to come?"

"... Right."

I nodded slightly.

"Go back and tell her that I have no intention of forcing anyone into a corner. As long as she leaves the capital and returns to her hometown, I will not continue to pursue her."

"But there is one condition."

"Please, Young Lady, just speak."

"If she still has anything related to my mother in her hand, she must hand over everything. Even if it's just a piece of paper, she cannot keep it."

The woman kept nodding.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell him right away when I get back."

After the woman left, Mrs. Hou looked at me.

"Do you believe he will accept it so easily?"

"I don't believe it. But you have to give her a step to step down. If she refuses to come down, that's her own choice."

Mrs. Hau sighed softly.

"Nien Khanh, you are more soft-hearted than your mother."

"Not soft-hearted."

"But it's less trouble."

"If she knows her fate, this will stop here. But if she still doesn't know her destiny..."

Let's stop for a moment.

"Then don't blame me for not leaving her any escape route."

Three days later, Lieu Uyen Nhu's aunt came again. This time, she didn't come to admit error. It's about spreading the word.

"Young lady, Uyen Nhu said she has a letter that she wants to personally deliver to you."

"It says this letter concerns your mother's purity. If you don't receive it, it will publish the letter for everyone to know."

I will send someone to take Lieu Uyen Nhu to the Marquis's palace. Not a heavenly hall. Which is the main lobby. Mrs. Hau sat in the chair position. Dinh Vien Hau stood to one side. Tham Hoai Du leaned against the pillar, holding a knife in his hand. Luc Hoai An was also present, having just returned from Do Sat Vien yesterday, his face still had a tired look after a sleepless night. There are also a few clan elders. Even Tam Thuc Cong came. Come on your own, without anyone inviting you. The whole main hall was filled with people. When Lieu Uyen Nhu was brought in, her steps clearly slowed down. She didn't expect there to be so many people. She originally thought... It was just me. I pointed to the passenger seat. Lieu Uyen Nhu did not sit. She stood in the middle of the main hall. She had changed into clean clothes, her hair was neatly combed, and she even had a thin layer of powder on her face. It's obvious that makeup has been applied. Completely unlike the appearance of someone coming to admit defeat.
