Chapter 8 — At the Longevity Party That Day, I Took a Fake Thien Kim Mask

Not long ago, the Tham family suddenly announced that they would cut ties with him and even kicked him out of the palace. At that time, everyone thought that the reason was because he had offended the Marquis of Uy Vien. Unexpectedly, the truth is that from the beginning, he was not a member of the Tham family. Tham Du An's face only distorted for a moment then quickly forced himself to calm down. He took a deep breath, looked at Tan Tu Uyen and said in a deep voice:

“If you hurt her, how can we get the money?”

"Don't forget, the Uy Vien Marquis' Palace has already begun investigating your background. Even if you kill her now, you won't be able to get the money to leave this place."

At that moment, Tan Chan Hai walked in from outside. As soon as he saw Tan Tu Uyen, he frowned tightly, his voice full of reproach:

“Uyen Nhi, Tham Du An is right.”

"If only you had followed my plan and acted discreetly step by step, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

"As long as I borrow Canh Ngoc Le's name to gradually take control of Uy Vien Marquis' palace, and then find an opportunity to deal with those two old men, the entire estate will fall into our hands."

“But you insisted on showing off at the birthday party, and even personally brought the old lady of the Uy Vien Marquis residence.”

“If it weren't for your impatience, how could we be in the situation we are in today?”

Tan Tu Uyen bit her lip and was about to open her mouth to explain, but Tham Du An had lost all patience and coldly interrupted. He turned to look at me, took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Ngoc Le, out of respect for the past relationship between us, as long as you cooperate, tell the Marquis of Uy Vien Palace to bring three million taels of gold to redeem you, we will immediately release you."

After hearing those words, I just curled my lips and smiled, my eyes filled with sarcasm:

“Tham Du An, do you really think I am that stupid?”

“From beginning to end, you have always been cold towards me, isn't it because you already knew that you were not the real blood of the Tham family?”

"You know very well that if your identity is revealed, everything you have will immediately be lost."

“At that time, the only person you can rely on is me.”

“But you are not willing to live in the shadow of a woman, so you colluded with Tan Tu Uyen.”

"And you dare to do so, isn't it because you have long known the true relationship between Tan Tu Uyen and Tan Chan Hai?"

As soon as my words ended, the faces of all three people changed simultaneously. Tham Du An tried to suppress his panic and replied coldly:

“I don't know what you're talking about.”

I just smiled, my eyes slowly scanning each of them.

“Tan Chan Hai, you have no skills, but you always want to cling to power.”

"That year, he agreed with his own mouth to live in the Uy Vien Marquis's palace, but in his heart he never agreed."

"So, after learning that the maid from the past had given birth to a daughter, he immediately couldn't wait to welcome her back to the palace."

“For so many years, you have spent all your thoughts, isn't it just to make everyone in the world think that Tan Tu Uyen is my mother's biological daughter?

"Don't you just want her to replace me and take away everything that belongs to me?"

I stopped for a moment and looked straight into their eyes.

“Those things, people know, but I also know.”

“So where do you guys get the confidence to think that if you perform such a scene in front of me, I will obediently cooperate with you?”

Seeing that all my secrets had been exposed by me, Tham Du An immediately became angry. He pulled out his dagger, placed the cold blade directly on my neck, then gritted his teeth and shouted:

“Then don't blame me for being rude!”

“Just cut off one of your fingers, I don't believe those two old men would regret three million taels of gold!”

I calmly raised my head to look at him, without a trace of fear in my eyes.

"So guess what... why do I know all of this and still deliberately fall into your hands alone?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the rope tied to my wrist was quietly cut off by a small blade from behind. The moment my hands were freed, I immediately threw a strong kick at Tham Du An's dangerous spot.
