Chapter 11 — Fake Fiance Committed His Love To Thien Kim, I Let Them Be Honest
But the content of the letter made my heart suddenly sink.
"Tham Chieu Ninh, I know everything was done by you. From that jar of wine to Ma Lao Luc, every step is your handwriting. I don't resent you. You have your own reasons. But Co Dien Chi doesn't think like that. He said he wanted to go and report to you. He wanted to go to the palace to accuse the Tham family of poisoning his wine, intentionally plotting to harm him. In his hand, he still had that jar of peach blossoms, and on the jar was the mark of Tham's wine cellar engraved. He even found a doctor who was willing to testify, saying that what he drank contained laxatives. I can't stop him from writing this letter to tell you that he will come to the palace tomorrow.
I read that letter three times. Then place it on the candle and burn it. Thanh Hoa stood next to her, looking at the papers turning into ash, her face full of tension.
“Miss, what should we do now?”
I don't answer her. I'm thinking. Co Dien Chi wanted to accuse the Tham family of poisoning. I really didn't expect this move. Because in his previous life he had never taken this path. Because the situation in the past life was completely different from now. In his previous life, he had a reputation and a future, so there was no need to tear his face apart from the Tham family. But in this life he has nothing left, those who walk barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. He really risked his life. The engraved mark on the wine jar is real. The enema is also real. If he really went to complain and the government investigated, it would be difficult for the Tham family to escape involvement. Poisoning someone, regardless of the poison, is a crime. Even if it's just an enema, it's still intentionally harming others. I was silent for a long time. Then we make a decision.
“Thanh Hoa, go invite your father here.”
After Tham Hoai Vien arrived, I told everything from beginning to end. Including the fact that I touched that jar of wine with my hands and feet. Including the fact that the enema was put in by myself. Including the story of Co Dien Chi wanting to sue. I said it all. Tham Hoai Vien sat on the chair, his face constantly changing. From surprise to anger. From anger to worry. From worry to silence. Finally he opened his mouth.
“Why didn't you tell me sooner?”
“If you say it, someone will stop you.”
"Of course I will stop it! A girl like you would do something like this..."
He spoke halfway then stopped. Because he saw my eyes. There is no fear in my eyes. There is no panic. Also no regrets. Only calm. A very deep kind of calm. It's like only after having experienced things even scarier than this, can such calmness be achieved. Tham Hoai Vien looked at me for a long time.
“Chieu Ninh, what exactly… have you experienced?”
I opened my lips slightly. In that moment, I really wanted to tell him all the stories of my past life. Tell him how Co Dien Chi killed thirty-seven lives of the Tham family. Tell him how I died in a pool of blood. Tell you when So Dao stood in front of me and said, "Who said she had a bad fate?", what expression she had on. But in the end we still didn't say it. Even if he said it, he still wouldn't believe it. Who would believe that their daughter died once and then came back to life?
"Father, now is not the time to talk about those things. Co Dien Chi will leave tomorrow indictment, we have to think of a way first.”
Tham Hoai Vien took a deep breath and forcefully pressed down all his emotions. After all, he has been in business for decades, and at the critical moment, he is still strong enough to support.
“That jar of wine, does anyone else know about it besides you?”
"Thanh Hoa knows I told her to get wine, but she doesn't know I added something else."
“What about the jar?”
“The jar is in Co Dien Chi's hand. But the jar can only prove that the wine belongs to the Tham family, it cannot prove who did it."
“And the doctor side?”
“The doctor Co Dien Chi found it, eight percent of it was bribed with money. As long as we also find another doctor and say that the enema ingredients have nothing to do with the Tham family's wine, both sides keep their own words, and the government cannot accuse them."
