Chapter 9 — Fake Fiance Committed His Love To Thien Kim, I Let Them Be Honest

I didn't send anyone to follow up. It's not necessary anymore. A scholar with no reputation, no money, no support, and a reputation for cheating in exams, basically cannot make any more waves. But I underestimated one thing. I underestimated So Dao. Half a month later, one evening, Thanh Hoa returned from outside, his face very unusual.

“Miss, something happened.”

“What?”

“Miss Chu has escaped from Trang Tu.”

The cup of tea in my hand stopped.

“When did it happen?”

"This morning. The lady guarding said that last night you were still there, but this morning the door was wide open and you were gone."

“Where is Bich Dao?”

“Bich Dao is also nowhere to be seen.”

I put down the tea cup, stood up and walked to the window. So Dao has escaped. There was no such thing in my previous life. In her previous life, she was detained for three years, obediently stayed for three years, and did not begin to take revenge until after she was released. But in this life she ran away ahead of time. Because the situation in this life is different. In his previous life, Co Dien Chi still had a reputation and a future, So Dao could wait. But in this life, Co Dien Chi has nothing left, she can't wait anymore. What is she afraid of? She was afraid that Co Dien Chi wouldn't be able to stand it. She was afraid that he would do something irreparable outside. So she had to run out to stabilize him. Or... she wants to go out and find me.

“Thanh Hoa, from today onwards, every time you go out you must bring two families.”

“Miss, do you think Miss So will come looking for you?”

"Not sure. But it's better to be a little careful."

I thought for a moment and then added:

"Go talk to the gatekeeper. These past few days, no matter who comes, you have to ask clearly before being allowed to open the door."

Thanh Hoa nodded and left. I sat back at the table and began to calculate in my heart. So Dao escaped from Trang Tu, Tran Quoc Cong Palace will definitely send people to find him. With the old lady's temperament, the idea of her granddaughter running away on her own made her even angrier than the idea of secretly meeting a man. If found, the punishment will certainly be even more severe than before. But what if you can't find it? So Dao is not stupid. Since she dared to run away, she must have had somewhere to go. Co Dien Chi's place. Besides Co Dien Chi, in this citadel she has no one else to rely on. The concubines who were once close to her, after the incident, all cut off their relationship one after another. Her mother, Trieu Thi, still had difficulty keeping herself, and had just been punished by the old lady. Now only Co Dien Chi remains. A man with nothing left. A woman ran away from home. Two people who are cornered come together, what will they do? In their previous life, their "love confession" was just an act. But in this life... I'm not sure anymore. The next day, the news arrived. So Dao indeed went to find Co Dien Chi. The two people hid in an abandoned temple west of the city. It was a servant of the So family who was sent to find the person who discovered it. When they were found, the two were hugging each other and crying. In the ruined temple, there was only a dying candle lit, the ground was covered with straw, and next to it was a small luggage bag, inside were a few changes of clothes and a bag of scrap money. Bich Dao stood guard at the temple door. As soon as he saw the So family's people, he was so scared that he became weak fell weakly to the ground. The Chu family's servants immediately escorted all three people back. This story should have ended there. But So Dao did something again, making the situation completely chaotic again. On the way to be taken back, right in front of the Chu family's servants and a crowd of onlookers, she shouted loudly.

"Co Dien Chi and I already have a real husband and wife! Even if you lock me up for the rest of my life, I will still be his person!"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, the whole street immediately exploded. Thien Kim Phu Tran Quoc Cong and a poor scholar who was stripped of his title have a real husband and wife. This news is more shocking than all the previous stories combined. The So family's reputation was completely shattered. When the news reached the Tham family, I was helping my mother pickle pickles. Thanh Hoa ran in to tell this story, the salt jar in her mother's hand almost fell to the ground.

“Is this Chu family girl crazy?”
