Chapter 5 — Arrested on the night of the big wedding, I was reborn and killed him like crazy

For him, there are hundreds of benefits and not a single harm. As for my life or death... he simply doesn't care at all.

"The Viceroy is truly a 'kind father and filial son', but unfortunately... that father-son love was never given to me."

Since that's the case... If you have been unjust, then don't blame me for being unjust. In this life, I will no longer sit and wait for death. The trap that you guys meticulously prepared for me… then you guys, try it for yourself. I lifted the blanket and got out of bed. Go to the dressing table and look at yourself in the bronze mirror. The young girl in the mirror has a face like a painting, but her eyes carry a trace of innocence that has never experienced life. That was the innocence that belonged to Tham Tri Dien at sixteen years old. Very soon… It will be completely crushed. I reached out and picked up a golden brooch, squeezing it tightly in my palm. The cold feeling of metal makes me even more alert. The first step of revenge... is to continue living. Furthermore, we must make those who plotted all this... pay the price. I called Xuan Dao in.

“Go, call Butler Wang here, tell him I have something important to discuss with him.”

Butler Vuong was my mother's servant in the past, also in this palace... the only person who can probably still be trusted. Xuan Dao had some doubts, but still accepted the order to leave. Not long after, Butler Vuong, who was over fifty years old, hurried over.

“Eldest lady, are you looking for this old slave?”

I signaled everyone around me to retreat. In the room, there are only two of us left. I looked at him, straight to the point.

"Uncle Wang, tonight... someone will come to the palace to arrest me."

Butler Wang's face changed drastically.

“Eldest lady, this cannot be said indiscriminately!”

“Tomorrow you are getting married, how can it be…”

I interrupted him, my eyes sharp as knives.

“Uncle Wang, you are the person my mother trusts the most, so I also trust you.”

“I'm not joking.”

“This is a trap, a death trap aimed at me.”

My voice was so calm that... it didn't sound like that of a sixteen year old girl. Butler Vuong looked into my eyes, the look of surprise on his face gradually turned serious. You know... I'm not just talking dangerously.

“So… what do you mean, miss?”

“Your stick hits your back.”

I slowly spit out four words.

“They want to see a good play… then I will help them perform.”

“Just… the main role of this play…”

“We should change people.”

I told my entire plan, word by word, clearly to Butler Vuong. He listened until his heart pounded, his face turned pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

“Miss, this… this is too risky!”

“If something goes wrong, your identity…”

“Reputation?”

I laughed coldly.

"Someone who can't even keep his life... what's the point of needing that kind of reputation?"

“Uncle Wang, you just need to tell me…”

“Do you help… or don't you?”

I looked straight into his eyes. Butler Wang struggled for a long time. In the end, he seemed to have remembered my wife who had long since passed away. He sighed heavily and bowed to me.

“This old slave's life... was given to him by his wife.”

“Everything… is according to the lady's arrangements.”

I nodded slightly. The chessboard of revenge... has been laid out. Tonight… I will personally give one to my “good sister”. the "surprise" grand ceremony. Tham Tri Vi... Are you ready? The night was like ink, covering the entire Thai Vice Palace. There are lights and flowers hanging everywhere in the mansion, preparing for the big wedding tomorrow, almost completing the final steps. Under that appearance of peaceful joy... there are underground currents that are silently surging. I sat in the room, slowly and leisurely drinking tea. Next to me, Xuan Dao was helping me arrange my clothes, muttering incessantly.

"Miss, tomorrow the person who wears this outfit will definitely be the most beautiful bride in the capital."

“If your lordship sees this, you will definitely stand there stunned.”

I look at that set of crimson robes, the top of which is embroidered with gold thread with extremely delicate and complex lovebird motifs. In my previous life, I used to bring so much joy to embroider it myself, waiting for a good future with Lam Mac. But what I saw before I died... was his eyes full of disgust and liberation. I won't wear this set of robes anymore. And Lam Mac... doesn't even want to become my husband. At this moment, a little maid secretly poked her head in and looked in from outside the door. A person from Tham Tri Vi's hospital. Xuan Dao saw that, stepped out to ask a few questions, then turned back and said to me:

“Miss, the second lady sent someone to invite someone over to enjoy the jewelry.”

It's here. Time is exactly the same as before. The reason... is exactly the same. I put down the tea cup and stood up.

“I know.”

I told Xuan Dao:

"You stay in the room, check again all the faces I will use tomorrow, don't make any mistakes."

Xuan Dao is a bit confused.

“Miss, don't you bring a slave with you?”

"No need."

I replied calmly.

"My second sister and I have a few words in private, we'll be back soon."

In my previous life, I took Xuan Dao with me. During the chaos, her arm was broken to protect me. I won't let you fall into danger again. I was alone, walking out of the hospital. The night wind was a bit cold, blowing across my face, but it couldn't dispel the coldness in my heart. I did not go directly to Tham Tri Vi's hospital. But turn around a part of the road, go towards the back of the garden. The butler Vuong had long ago brought along a few of the most skilled guards, waiting in ambush behind them. They are all old people in the palace, loyal to my mother, and are also the only force that I can currently mobilize. I gave Butler Vuong a look. Signal them to act according to the plan.
