Chapter 5 — After Hearing My Heart's Voice, I Made the Future Gods of the Powers of the Future Ruined

“My heart suddenly sank.

But he was pulled out of the main hall. The second day after Tieu Tan Uyen was locked in a prison, I found Nguyet Khinh Yen. She did not run away. She still lived in a small alley next to Tieu's mansion, rented a tattered room, and brought the baby to live there. When I knocked on the door and entered, she was feeding the child porridge. Seeing me, she was not surprised at all, as if she had known I would come.

“Miss Lac, sit down.”

She pointed to the old chair next to her. I don't sit.

“Nguyet Khinh Yen, Tieu Tan Uyen said you have a letter in your hand.”

The movement of her hand slowed down a bit.

“Did he tell you?”

“He said that letter could prove that my father colluded with the enemy to treason.”

Nguyet Khinh Yen put down the bowl and looked up at me. Her eyes were very red, like she had been crying for a long time.

“Miss Lac, do you believe him?”

“I don't believe it.”

“But I need that letter.”

Nguyet Khinh Yen was silent for a long time. The baby in her arms cooed a few times. She bowed her head and gently kissed his forehead, then stood up, walked to the bed, and took out an envelope from under the pillow. She gave it to me.

“The letter is fake.”

“He told me to fake it.”

"He said he'll wait until the day the general stops listening and will use this letter to deal with you guys."

I received the letter and opened it to take a look. Inside was written full of "evidence" of Lac Sung Vien's collusion with the enemy country in the North. The imitated handwriting is extremely similar to the real thing, even the seals are made to look almost fake but realistic.

“Why did you give it to me?”

Nguyet Khinh Yen looked at the baby in her arms, tears slowly falling.

"Because I don't want Little Bao to know in the future that his father is a man who will do everything in his power to climb high."

“Miss Lac, Tieu Tan Uyen is the type of person who only has herself in her heart.”

"He can falsify records for power's sake, he can set people on fire for revenge, and he can also push women and children away as shields to protect himself."

“I won't help him, but I won't help you either.”

She raised her head to look at me.

“I just beg you to spare this child. It doesn't know anything.”

I look at that child. A little boy just over two years old, looking at me with wide, bright black eyes, still holding porridge in his mouth that had not yet been swallowed, smiling innocently. Those eyes look exactly like Tieu Tan Uyen. I took a deep breath.

“No one will harm this baby.”

“I guarantee it.”

Nguyet Khinh Yen looked at me, tears falling more intensely. I kept the letter carefully and turned around to leave.

“Miss Lac.”

She suddenly called me back. I turned my head to look at her.

“You knew from the beginning that he had problems, right?”

"In the Thuong Nguyen palace that day, she originally intended to ask for four engagements, but suddenly changed her mind."

“Did you know his true face from a long time ago?”

I looked at her, not answering. Dong Tuyet's heart sounds in my head. 【Of course you know! You have heard my heart! But this secret absolutely cannot be told to anyone!】

“Maybe so.”

“Miss Nguyet, take the baby and leave the capital.”

“This place is not suitable for you.”

When I walked out of that torn room, the sunlight just shone on my face. The envelope in my hand was squeezed tightly wrinkled. This is Tieu Tan Uyen's last card. But now... It belongs to me. Three days later, Dai Ly himself publicly tried Tieu Tan Uyen's case. People from all over the capital came, and in front of Dai Ly pagoda was surrounded to the point where water could not flow through. When Tieu Tan Uyen was escorted to the public hall, he was wearing a white prison uniform, his hair was scattered, but his spine was still straight. Even though he fell into such a situation, he still maintained that noble and cold temperament. Seeing me, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

“Miss Lac is also here.”

I don't pay attention to him. Dai Ly Tu Khanh, Lord Zhou, started on the road to investigate the case of falsifying books first. Trieu Dai Dung was taken to the public street, knelt on the ground, and told the whole story about Tieu Tan Uyen sending someone to kidnap him, forcing him to sign his name, and using his wife and children to threaten him. Tieu Tan Uyen's housekeeper was also taken to court and revealed all the evidence related to explosives and the matter of forging public seals.
