Chapter 21 — He Forced Me To Sign A Separation, Unexpectedly I Have Been Waiting For This Day For A Long Time

The new Emperor took care of the country's affairs, reduced tax exemptions, opened up speech, and respected wise men. Ba Ba Truong is now the current Prime Minister and head of the tycoon. We have welcomed a completely new era. As for me, Tham Cam Thu, I did not enter the palace nor was I awarded a title. I am still the daughter of the Tham family as before. It's just that the Tham family of today is no longer the same as before. The banknotes of Hoi Thong Ngan Trang became the most valuable circulating currency of Dai Zhou, circulating all over the world. The Tham family's merchant fleet went south to the horizon, north to the grasslands, and west to the desert. Silk, porcelain, tea... I have brought the prosperity of Great Zhou to every corner of the world. He also brought the world's wealth, constantly flowing back to Dai Zhou. We use those wealth to build bridges, pave roads, and repair irrigation. We built one school after another, so that countless children of cold subjects would have the opportunity to read books. I opened countless good halls, so that lonely old people and orphaned children with no one to rely on could have a safe place to settle down. The title "Tham Thien Nhan" resonated throughout the North and South. The Tham family is no longer just a wealthy businessman comparable to the national treasury. It has become an indispensable part of this country. Becoming the strongest and sharpest tool for national security and prosperity in the hands of the new Emperor. In the winter of the third year of the Canh Minh era, it was another day of heavy snow. I stood on the highest restaurant in the capital, looking down at this bustling city. On the streets, carriages and horses were like water, people passing by were like looms. The laughter of children and the sales calls of merchants intertwine into a song of prosperous times. I can no longer see the scene of blood flowing into rivers in my memory. Thanh Mai put a warm fox fur coat on my shoulders. Now, she is the general manager of the commercial empire I built, capable of taking charge on her own.

“Miss, it's cold outside, let's go home.”

I shook my head, my eyes stopped at the royal citadel in the distance.

“Thanh Mai.”

“Tell me, if father saw today's scene, would he be happy?”

Thanh Mai smiled, tears shining in her eyes.

“Definitely will.”

“The old man and his wife will definitely be proud of you.”

Yes, they definitely will. I do not disappoint their expectations. I have kept the Tham family and also kept my father's belief that: "Business can also grow the country." I have turned hatred into bricks and roofs to build this prosperous time. That, perhaps, is the true meaning of being resurrected. A cold wind blew, I pulled my fox fur coat tightly around me. I turned around and walked lightly.

“Come to Jiangnan to see our new shipyard.”

“It is said that they have built a ship that can cross the ocean for thousands of miles.”

Thanh Mai followed behind me, smiling and asking.

“So we are about to set sail?”

I turned my head to look at her, eyes sparkling with an unprecedented light.

“Let's go see what's at the end of the sea.”

“Let's go see how vast this world really is.”

Under our feet is a time of prosperity. Before my eyes is a wide sea and starry sky. I, Tham Cam Thu, have finally lived for myself creating a vast expanse of sky and sea. In this life, there are no more regrets. (END OF FULL TEXT)
