Chapter 3 — Fake Fiance Committed His Love To Thien Kim, I Let Them Be Honest

I folded the letter as before and stuffed it back into the crack in the rock. Then return to your institute. Thanh Hoa has prepared a jar of peach blossoms and placed them on the table.

"Miss, the wine has already arrived. But I still don't understand, why do I have to give it to Master Co?"

“You take a trip for me, bring wine to the Co family, then say…”

I stopped a bit.

"Just tell me I heard he's been reading hard lately, so I should prepare some wine to relieve his fatigue. Tell him to rest well tonight and not work too hard."

Thanh Hoa nodded, hugged the jar of wine and walked out. She didn't know that Co Dien Chi wouldn't drink this jar of wine herself. He will bring it to So family. Because in the letter, So Dao wrote "the wine has been prepared", but this person, Co Dien Chi, was inherently suspicious. In his previous life, he never drank the wine prepared by So Dao, but brought the wine himself. He was afraid that So Dao would move his hands and feet in the wine, afraid that this "loveless" trap would be detrimental to him. So he will definitely use the jar of wine brought by the Tham family to replace So Dao's wine. So, if something happened after drinking, he could blame it all on the Tham family. Going forward can attack, retreating can defend. Calculate thoroughly. It's a pity that in this life, the person who planned him has changed to me. I sat in front of the window, quietly waiting for darkness. The hour of the Rooster has just passed, and the sky is just dark. I changed into a dark outfit, put on a hat, and quietly walked out from the small door in the back yard. Thanh Hoa was not reassured and insisted on following. I told her to wait at the end of the alley, while I followed the small alley to the front door of the So family. The door was only slightly closed. Bich Dao was indeed standing guard outside, but her back was turned to the alley, her eyes only focused on the inside of the yard. I don't go in. I don't need to go in either. What I need is just to stand here and wait until everyone who should appear is there. About half a cup of tea later, footsteps were heard at the other end of the alley. Co Dien Chi is here. He was wearing a moon-white shirt and carrying a food box in his hand. Inside the box is a jar of peach blossoms that I sent someone to deliver. He walked to the front door, Bich Dao turned her head to look at him, then nodded slightly and leaned aside. Co Dien Chi walked inside. The door closed behind him. I silently counted sixty beats. Then, from under the curtain hood, I took out a bronze brooch and gently pried the latch of the side door. The door opened a small crack. The courtyard was very quiet, Bich Dao was no longer standing at the door, perhaps he had gone to keep watch outside. I followed the wall and slowly walked under the Dong Suong window. The paper covering the window radiated a warm yellow light. Inside, there were voices talking. So Dao's voice rang out first:

“Brother Dien Chi, you're here.”

Co Dien Chi replied:

"Um. I've already brought the wine. There's no need to use the jar of wine I prepared."

So Dao was silent for a moment:

“…You still don't believe me.”

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just better to be careful. This wine was sent by the Tham family, prepared by Tham Chieu Ninh himself. If anything happens, it can't be blamed on the two of us."

I stood outside the window, hearing every sentence clearly. In my previous life, I never knew these words. In my previous life, I only knew that they wanted to commit suicide and were so scared that they were scared to death and knelt before the word the road asking for a life saver. Listening back now, every word is like a knife stabbing into the heart. So Dao's voice rang out again:

"So as I said, after drinking and passing out, Bich Dao will go call someone over. Wait until the fuss is over, from the Tham family..."

“The Shen family will definitely give up the engagement.” Co Dien Chi's voice was extremely calm. "Tham Hoai Vien is the person who values face the most. His daughter's fiance has committed suicide with someone else, he cannot afford to lose this face."

“But what if the Tham family refuses to give up the engagement?”

"No." Co Dien Chi burst out laughing. "That person Tham Chieu Ninh, I understand her better than anyone. She is soft-hearted, she is honest, she will withdraw from the marriage on her own, and even help us talk things out."

Outside the window, I clasped my hands tightly. The nails bit by bit dug deep into the skin. What he said was not wrong. Tham Chieu Ninh of his previous life was indeed like that.
