Chapter 19 — My sister changed her concubine, I was reborn to reclaim my fate

A moment later, he spoke again.

"Niem Khanh, I know you didn't marry here because you liked me. This marriage was planned by your mother, and also arranged by the elders of the two families."

"But I want to tell you something sincere."

"From the very first day she stood in the yard, wearing old clothes, her hair not yet combed, facing my mother's body."

"I felt..."

"This person is very good."

I turned my head to look at him. He didn't look at me. Just raise your head and look at the moon.

"Not because she is powerful."

"But because from beginning to end..."

"She never begged anyone."

"She alone shouldered everything."

The yard is extremely quiet. In the distance, the sound of the night watchman's gong was heard, each sound, each sound.

"Shen Huai Yu."

"Thank you guy."

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for never considering me a burden."

He smiled softly. The smile is very faint.

"She is not a burden."

"She is my lady."

A few days later, something unexpected happened. Dinh Vien Marquis Palace received a greeting card. Sent from within the palace. The Queen Mother's close female official personally brought it, saying that the Queen Mother had heard the story about the new wife of the Marquis and wanted to meet me once. Mrs. Hou took the card and turned it over and over several times.

"The Queen Mother? How does the Queen Mother know about our palace?"

On the same day, Luc Hoai An's letter was also sent. There was only one line in the letter.

"Father went to the palace to greet the Queen Mother and mentioned Niem Khanh's story. In the past, the Queen Mother met her mother several times."

Grandfather... Not a lawsuit. Not even a complaint. It's about inviting the Queen Mother to stand up... Give me the glory I deserve. The day I entered the palace, Lady Hou personally combed my hair. Do not wear a phoenix crown. Instead, it was replaced by a swinging jade brooch, which was Lady Hou's item.

"There's no need to be nervous when meeting the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is a very gentle person, just talk as usual."

The Queen Mother's palace is located in the deepest part of the royal citadel. It took almost two minutes to get there. The Queen Mother is over sixty years old, with white hair, sitting on a soft tower, holding a rosary in her hand.

"Are you Minh Chau's daughter?"

The Queen Mother gently waved her hand, telling me to come a little closer. People looked at me for a long time.

"Really similar."

"Similar eyebrows."

"The chin is the same."

"That year, when my mother came to the palace to visit the family, she was only fifteen years old, about the same age as I am now."

"She's very brave. When other people speak in front of everyone, they're cautious and careful. As soon as she opens her mouth, she says: 'Your Majesty, your cat is really fat.'"

The Queen Mother laughed. The wrinkles on the face also relax with a smile.

"Unfortunately..."

"Died again early."

She sighed softly then turned to look at Mrs. Hau.

"Since this girl is married to your palace, you must treat her well."

"Minh Chau's daughter..."

"Can't afford to lose."

"Please rest assured, Queen Mother."

Mrs. Hau smiled and replied. The Queen Mother ordered someone to bring out a plate of breakfast and rewarded me with a pair of jade bracelets. It's an old thing in the palace. Extremely high quality jade.

"Rewards from the Queen Mother."

"Wear it outside."

"No one will dare to bully you anymore."

When leaving the palace, Lady Hau was smiling all the way.

"Your grandfather is indeed gone A very good move."

"The Queen Mother has given you a reward. The whole capital will know that the new wife of the Dinh Vien Marquis Palace is someone the Queen Mother highly values."

"Later..."

"Who else dares to say disparaging words about me?"

I lowered my head to look at the pair of jade bracelets on my wrist. Have you seen it? Have passed this road already. After the news of the Queen Mother's reward was spread, the direction of public opinion in the capital completely changed. In the past, there were still people secretly gossiping behind their backs about "the Gu family's swapped bride", but now no one dares to say even a word. Invitations to the ladies who invited the Young Lady of the Hau Palace to attend the party brought several cards every day. I chose to attend a few sessions, not too many, not too few. Those who need to know are already known. The time to appear has also appeared. Life just goes by. Spring and autumn have come, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed. During those five years, many things happened. The Luc family opened a brocade shop in the capital, under my name. The first year the capital was recovered, in the second year the profit doubled. The three thousand acres of good fields that my mother left behind always produce a good harvest every year. The land rent combined with the income from the shops, each year brings in more than ten thousand taels of silver. Tham Hoai Du inherited the title, and I officially became the Marquis of the Dinh Vien Marquis palace.
