Chapter 6 — That Girl Stole My Marriage, Only Then Did I Know Who I Was About To Marry

They didn't say anything directly saying that I wasn't worthy. But each question is asking what we rely on to be worthy. I lowered my eyes and smoothed my cuffs, and said softly: "What you ladies are right about. You should be cautious when it comes to reputation. Therefore, I invited the doctor to come check on that bowl of medicinal soup." As soon as he finished speaking, manager Tu led a white-haired royal physician into the door. Several ladies stopped in unison. Thi Tan and Tong Oan Nhu were also mixed in with the guests, wanting to use the words of the ancestors to force me into a weak position. As soon as they saw the royal physician, both of their faces immediately changed. I pushed the ceramic bottle and the packet of medicine residue to the middle of the table: "May the doctor test to see what's inside." The royal physician took it, bowed his head to smell it, then used a silver needle to gently stir up a bit of the medicine residue to observe carefully, his eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly. A moment later, he bent down and reported: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not an ordinary nursing medicine, but an extremely harmful medicine that will damage a woman's uterus and blood vessels. If you really take it, it will be difficult to have children to continue the family. If it is worse, you will have a chronic illness that will be difficult to recover for the rest of your life." As soon as the words ended, the entire hall immediately fell silent. A few of the other ladies who were still laughing and talking to me, their faces suddenly changed. They may criticize the internal fighting in the Marquis Palace as too unsightly, but they absolutely cannot accept the fact that someone would dare to take action against the future Princess before the royal marriage has not yet been decided. Thi Tan quickly knelt down, her voice trembling: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! I only told someone to prescribe a medicine to control menstruation, who would know -"

“Menstrual medication?” I looked at her: "Didn't my stepmother personally tell me that if you can't be the first wife, at least don't think about creating more trouble?"

Tan Thi immediately choked. Tong Oan Nhu was so impatient that tears fell from her eyes: "Sister, how could you harm mother like that? Mother only thinks about the dignity of the Marquis Palace."

“Thinking about the Marquis's reputation?” I laughed softly: "So why should I fill in the retreat with my descendants?"

An old lady heavily put down the teacup on the table: "This is no longer a matter of gossip in the back of the house, but a plot to harm the main concubine!" Tong Oan Nhu's face turned pale, she suddenly burst into tears and rushed towards me: "I'm not! I just don't want to lose this marriage, mother is just -"

“Just don't want to lose your marriage?” I looked at her: "That's why you want to destroy my status as a concubine in the first place, right?"

She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a complete sentence. At that moment, familiar footsteps were heard outside the door. When Tieu Thua Uyen entered the hall, everyone voluntarily stood up. His eyes first fell on the marriage certificate in my hand, then glanced over Tan Thi and her mother kneeling on the ground, and finally stopped on the porcelain bottle and the open packet of medicine residue.

“Is it clear yet?” He asked.

The royal physician bowed and replied: "Your Highness, it is truly an excellent medicine." Tieu Thua Uyen's expression did not change, he walked towards me:

“Is she qualified or not?” He raised his eyes to look at everyone, his voice cold but calm, "It's not your turn decided to take down the medicine.”

No one in the entire hall dared to answer. I held the marriage certificate tightly in my hand, and for the first time, I no longer felt like I was just being helped by others to step up. But it's like someone told me right in front of everyone - This position does not need to be given away, there is no need to avoid it, and there is no need to rely on patience to exchange for it. 08 (On the day of the marriage robbery, they had already prepared a way to retreat) The story of the marriage had forced the Marquis to a point where it could not be lightened. But we know, it's still not enough. A bowl of medicine can only prove that Qin Thi is cruel. To completely close this situation of exchanging people for marriage, we must find stronger evidence - evidence that they had already arranged a way out in advance. Among the trunks I brought from the Marquis Palace was a list of bride price offerings. It was originally prepared for us. The day after the marriage robbery happened, the bride price list was hastily exchanged. A lot of capital items that should have been put into our offer chest were crossed out and changed to the name Tong Oan Nhu. That day I didn't speak up, because I knew that if I just looked at it, at most it would just be like a few books to move things around in the backyard, not necessarily enough to kill someone instantly.
