Chapter 3 — The Queen Feigned Illness For 3 Years, The Marquis Palace Was Completely In Chaos

In my previous life, I became like this little by little. But I was so sick that everyone said my body was weak, but so sick that Tham Nhuoc Lan spoke up for me to attend the banquet and entertain guests, and I was sick until the Tinh Vuong palace came to discuss the marriage, Chu Thi just said in one sentence:

"Although Thanh Mien has a weak body, she is the most understanding person," so she married me off.

3 months later, the old lady finally couldn't sit still anymore. Tho An Duong passed on the news, saying that there was someone's lady who had an illness that lasted up to 3 months, and told me to come over there and talk. Xuan Dao was extremely impatient.

“Miss, if you go there like this, I'm afraid you will be scolded by the old lady.”

I asked her to comb my hair into the simplest hairstyle, wearing only a simple silver hairpin.

“If you don't go, you'll be told even more.”

Arriving at Tho An Duong, I coughed as soon as I walked through the door. The old lady sat on the Arhat chair, her hands holding a rosary, her eyebrows furrowed into a deep furrow.

“If you're sick like this, what are you still doing?”

I knelt on the cushion, bowed my head and replied:

"The great-grandmother said that the great-grandmother did a great job, and the great-grandmother did not dare not come."

The room was quiet for a moment. Chu Thi sat next to her, her face changed slightly. The old lady immediately lost face.

“When did I say you were high?”

I raised my head to look at her, my eye sockets were slightly red.

"It's also possible that my daughter heard wrongly. It's just that her mind is foggy because of her illness, and she's afraid of being disloyal."

The old lady is the person who values face the most. She stared at me for a long time, then finally waved her hand.

"Okay. Go back and rest. Before you're completely healed, you don't have to come every day."

I bowed in thanks. When leaving the door, Thi Chu followed. Along the way she held my arm, letting outsiders look in, truly looking like a kind stepmother. When she reached a place where no one was there, her fingers suddenly tightened.

“Thanh Mien, now you know how to use words to block other people's throats.”

I coughed softly.

"Mother was joking. But I've been sick for so long, I haven't had time to think. It's good that my mother doesn't blame me."

She looked at me, her eyes gradually colder. That night, Xuan Dao's room was searched and an item was found. A bracelet made of pure gold. Mother Tran led two women in and rushed in, saying that Xuan Dao had stolen jewelry from her wife's warehouse and wanted to send someone to deal with it. Xuan Dao was forced to kneel on the ground, received an ax on his face, and the corner of his mouth was torn and bleeding. When I put on my coat and walked out, Ma Ma Tran was extremely pleased.

"Eldest lady, I have already told you that you are sick and should not worry about dirty things like this. Xuan Dao's hands and feet are not clean, so you cannot keep them."

I walked in front of her.

“Show me the bracelet.”

Mama Tran hesitated for a moment, but finally handed it over. We turn the ring inside. There is a very small word "Hanh" engraved there. My mother's name is Luc Hanh. There are secret signs like this on my grandmother's old things. I didn't know about it in my previous life. It wasn't until I was forced to inventory my dowry that I realized it. Unexpectedly, this life would be used first. I raised my eyes to look at Ma Ma Tran.

"Using my mother's relics to slander my maid. Mom is really bold."

Ma Ma Tran's face immediately changed. I didn't say much to her.

“Xuan Dao, go invite your father and grandmother.”

Ma Ma Tran knelt down with a thud down.

“Eldest Miss, this old slave is just following orders…”

Once the words reached her mouth, she stubbornly swallowed them back. I looked at her.

"There's no rush. Wait until father comes, just speak slowly."

When his father arrived, his face was very ugly. After the end of the court, he was originally reading the manuscript in the study room, but was invited to deal with the theft of the maid in the inner courtyard. He was already upset. The old lady also came, Thi Chu helped her, her eyes were slightly red. As soon as she entered the door, Thi Chu sighed.

"Thanh Mien, I know Xuan Dao has followed you for many years, you can't bear to let him take the blame. But if a servant makes a mistake, you cannot tolerate it because of your soft heart."

We put the bracelet on the table.

“Mother said, is this something in your warehouse?”

Thi Chu's eyes glanced at the bracelet and softly replied:

"There are so many things in my warehouse that I can't remember clearly at the moment. Mommy Tran said yes, so it must be it."

I pushed the bracelet in front of my father.

“Father, take a look.”

Father impatiently took the bracelet, and when his eyes stopped on the inside, his expression suddenly stopped.
