Chapter 9 — That Girl Stole My Marriage, Only Then Did I Know Who I Was About To Marry

I clasped the jade pendant in my hand, my fingertips gently stroked half of the ancient seal "Chieu", suddenly feeling that the heart that had always been hanging in my chest had finally gradually stabilized. He looked at me again for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just raised his hand to close the slightly open window.

“Tomorrow into the tone.” He said: "You just need to read your own name."

“I heard that the second lady cried all the way outside the palace gate.”

"It's also pitiful that the person who had the wedding ceremony first turned around and became a laughing stock."

“Who knows if there is any other hidden meaning behind this story…”

I sat neatly on my seat, my fingertips gently resting on the edge of the wooden tray, from beginning to end I still didn't say a word. At times like this, we have to wait for the person who should open their mouth the most to speak first. Sure enough, after King Chieu and the new emperor entered, everyone had just finished the ceremony, the new emperor glanced at the tray next to me, and faintly asked:

“Tong shi, what did you bring?”

I stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, there are a few items that I want to personally present for you to see."

“Raise it.”

The main hall immediately became quiet. I personally lifted the silk covering and all the evidence was displayed. The chatter on all sides immediately lowered further. I knelt in the middle of the main hall, my voice was not loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear clearly:

"The goddess did not want to expose the bad things in the house in front of the emperor."

"But if the goddess doesn't say anything, then today what will be changed will not only be the name on the marriage certificate, but in the future even the name in the royal message can be stolen by someone else."

The main hall immediately fell into silence. I talked about the medicine residue first, about the unique remedy that the doctor discovered; Then he talked about the dowry list, saying that half a month ago, the Marquis had prepared two ways, one way for the concubine to steal the marriage instead, the other way to take me as a concubine; Finally, I presented the extra page of the ink-edited marriage certificate and a note written by my father himself. Each of these pieces of evidence does not exist separately. They bit together, like sharp nails, nailing the whole thing in front of everyone. In the end, Tong Oan Nhu was really scared, with a "thump" sound and knelt down on the ground:

"Your Majesty, I don't have one! I just... I just admire Your Highness Chieu Vuong, but my sister has always been —"

“Sister has always tolerated you?” I look at her:

“That's why you feel that my marriage certificate, my dowry, and even my life should be given to you?”
