Chapter 20
Chapter 20 — I Give Up Everything, Always Give Up My Fiance, Never Give Up My Life
Chu Thi let out a short scream, quickly covered her mouth, her eyes opened wide, her whole body trembling violently. Tham Nguy stood up with a "plop" sound, knocking over the chair behind him, emitting a deafening sound. He pointed at the radio, his fingertips shaking, his lips moving, but not a word could be said. Giang Nhuoc Ninh was originally leaning close to Ta Doan Hanh, looking weak and fragile. At this moment, seeing my face, she was scared to death, almost fainted, clutching his arm, stuttering and trembling:
“Demon… demon…”
The other guests at the banquet were frightened by this sudden turn of events. They all turned their heads to look back, their faces bewildered and incomprehensible, their eyes focused on the disgraced Tham family and the royal position of Vinh Ninh Marquis. I, Tham Dieu, am now the Crown Princess of Dong Cung, looking at those faces below the stage filled with fear and fear, the corner of my lips slowly curved into a leisurely, noble smile.
“Guys, long time no see.”
I opened my mouth, my clear voice cutting through the noise, clearly reaching everyone's ears. Tieu Quyet sat next to me, raised his cup and smiled softly, looking leisurely enjoying a good play.
“Tham… Tham Dieu?!”
Tham Nguy finally found his voice again, his voice was shrill and deformed.
“How could you… how could you become the Crown Princess?!”
“Father sees his daughter again, seems very surprised?”
I pretended to be surprised.
"Half a year ago, that great fire couldn't burn me to death, disappointing my father and mother. It was also because my fate was not yet certain, I was saved by noble people, and was given the position of main concubine by His Highness the Crown Prince."
Every time I say a word, their faces turn a little whiter. Thi Chu had already fallen limp on the chair, all she could do was mumble non-stop:
“No way… this can't be…”
Ta Doan Hanh's eyes seemed poisoned, clinging to me and not letting go. There was shock, there was anger, and there was even a kind of crazy jealousy for being betrayed and being toyed with to the end. The woman he threw away like a torn shoe in the past, even wanted to kill her with her blood, but in the blink of an eye, she became the Crown Princess that he was forced to raise his head and kneel to. That suffering was even more unpleasant than directly killing him.
“Ah, that's right,”
I suddenly remembered something, my eyes turned to Giang Nhuoc Ninh who was trembling, trying to minimize the feeling of my existence, the smile on my lips became more gentle, but with a cold meaning,
"I haven't had time to congratulate my cousin yet. I finally fulfilled my wish and married into the Marquis' Palace. Just looking at my cousin's expression like this, it doesn't seem like my illness has improved yet? It's a pity, this palace is different now, my status is no longer the same as before, that bloody heart, I'm afraid I can't just take it out and give it to my cousin as a medicine anymore."
This word was like a resounding slap, fiercely hitting the Tham family, the Marquis, and Giang Nhuoc Ninh in the face. The stain of half a year ago was exposed right in front of the people, and the banquet immediately echoed with suppressed breathing and soft whispers. Giang Nhuoc Ninh's face was red and white, both humiliated and angry to the point that she wished she could faint on the spot. Tham Nguy and Chu Thi were even more embarrassed and had no place to live. But I have no intention of giving up they are so easy. I slowly walked down the steps, the palace trailing behind me, step by step towards their table. The eyes of all the guests were focused on him, full of curiosity and scrutiny. I stopped in front of them, my eyes first fell on Tham Nguy, my tone carried just the right hint of "doubt":
"Father, there's one thing that my daughter has always been curious about. Half a year ago, father and mother said that my sister was my best friend, and that for her, she wouldn't even care about my life or death. My daughter couldn't figure it out, just what kind of 'best friend' was it that could make them do such a thing?"
Tham Nguy's face changed dramatically, his eyes panicked:
“You… you said something nonsense!”
"Whether my daughter speaks nonsense or not, father knows in his heart."
I smiled slightly, then turned my gaze to Chu Thi.
"Mother, tell me? Aren't you even closer to your cousin than your biological daughter? If you don't know, I'm afraid you will really think that your cousin is your biological child."
