Chapter 2 — Thanh Mai Truc Ma Yin and Yang Separate

If it weren't for him throwing a tantrum and kneeling down to swear that he absolutely had no male or female feelings for Lam Uyen Thanh, I really wanted to splash the remaining half bowl of black dog blood on him. Because I was soft-hearted, I finally couldn't resist Tong Ky Vong's request and agreed to help him investigate the cause of his death, neutralize his obsessions, and let him be reincarnated as soon as possible. From that day on, I began to pay attention to the Lam family's movements. Just learned that Lady Binh Duong is preparing to hold a tea party. After receiving the invitation, I immediately slapped the table and decided to go. Thuy Nhi was startled by me, her eyes widened. "Miss, do you really want to go?" I know what you mean. Over the past three years, the three words Tham Nguyet The have almost become a taboo among the capital's aristocratic women. I also don't want people to call me unlucky every time I go out. Gradually, everyone implicitly understood each other. The invitation is still sent, but it is assumed that I will not come. Therefore, when she saw me, Lady Binh Duong was a bit caught off guard. The second young lady of the House of Maids' House held a handkerchief and covered her nose as if she was looking at something dirty: "Oh my, what wind blew the first lady of the Tham family here? This is our tea party, there are no men for you to choose from." Every sentence and every word were yin and yang, mocking me for not being able to find a husband. I smiled softly: "It's been three years, of course I should go out and move around." "If I continue to hide, people who don't know will think I'm hiding things for Tong Ky Vong." Seeing my calm attitude, the other ladies didn't feel comfortable saying more. I randomly looked around and found Lam Uyen Thanh. After three years of not seeing her, after getting married, she was indeed more noble than before. It's just that her appearance is still gentle, every gesture carries a soft and obedient look. Anyone who sees it must praise him for being very well educated. I took the opportunity to sit down next to her. She raised her head and saw it was me, a flash of surprise flashed through her eyes. But soon she smiled. "Sister Nguyet The has arrived? It's been a long time since we've seen her, she looks very good." "Sister Uyen Thanh is right. After getting married, she's even more beautiful." With my mouth I spoke politely, but the tip of my nose smelled the special scent on Lam Uyen Thanh's body. This scent is so cold that it stings the nose, smelling more like a strong scent from the North. "The scent on sister Uyen Thanh is so pleasant. It doesn't seem like the scent of our Central Plains, on the contrary, it is very similar to the type from the North?" "You haven't left the house for three years, you already don't understand the trend in the capital. Is this type of scent popular now?" I hadn't finished speaking yet, but a few eyes around me looked over. The smile on Lam Uyen Thanh's face stopped. She covered her mouth with her sleeve and said: "Sister Nguyet The's sense of smell is indeed very sharp. But there are no Northern spices, they are all arbitrarily prepared by me." "Only used a few cloves, angelica, spikenard and beeswax, which I brought with me to steam my clothes." As she spoke, she actually took out a small box containing incense sticks from her sleeve. A lady sitting next to her took the box, opened it, smelled it, and praised: "Elegant and unique, truly skillful." "Uyen Thanh has had skillful hands since she was young, and now that she's married, she won't let it go to waste." "That's right." Another lady continued, but glanced at me contemptuously: "Currently, the relationship between the court and the Northern Ho clan is tense, there has been a strict ban on trading in Ho clan's items. Anyone who dares to do something wrong will have their head cut off!" Hey, Miss Tham, don't say such things casually

When outsiders hear about it, they think we have some kind of collusion with the North." I pursed my lips, smiled and replied, not continuing to inquire. With just those common spices, it was absolutely impossible to create a scent on Lam Uyen Thanh's body. Although I didn't interact much with her, I understood clearly in my heart. Lam Uyen Thanh is a person who wants to be different from everyone else in everything. Her clothes must be embroidered with the most special patterns, and her brooches must have unique craftsmanship. Even The same goes for the incense she used on her body. The kind of incense made from common spices, she absolutely would not take seriously. 05 After the tea ceremony that day ended, I did not return to the palace but went to the military camp to find my father. My father, Tham Sung Son, was the General of the court, in charge of the military camp on the outskirts of the capital, and was considered the emperor's confidant. Of course, he knew the information related to the border guards like the back of his hand asked the Lam family's attitude towards things on the northern border. His father was watching the military affairs, without even raising his head: "Lam family? Lam Chan Quoc? His family has always advocated peace, believing that fighting with the Ho people would make the people miserable and lose money, so it would be better to use tribute money in exchange for peace.
