Chapter 9 — In Rebirth, My Sister Stole My Cold-Faced Husband

During the conversation, the other person accidentally revealed it, and he remembered it, then came back and reported it to me. Of course, after hearing those words, I could only half believe and half doubt, but countless mixed emotions arose in my heart, making it difficult to explain clearly. Bui Nghien Chi……so he knows everything. He saw all of Tham Minh Chau's tricks that year. Even so, he never proactively told me, let alone helped me deal with it. That is Bui Nghien Chi. He could find everything, see through everything, but he never took the initiative to reach out. Last life was like that, so is this life. Until things got pushed to the point where they couldn't be avoided. This is completely different from Ta Lam Uyen. Ta Lam Uyen is the type of person——before you even open your mouth, he runs two streets to buy red bean cakes for you. Two types of people. Two types of relationships. In my previous life, I made the wrong choice. This life will not. In early August, Trieu Nguyen Bach was arrested. During interrogation, to reduce the crime, he confessed many more associates. Among them was a name that shocked the entire court——the Second Prince, King Qi. King Qi is the Crown Prince's younger brother. He has always been gentle and humble, and has never fought for power. No one expected the person behind the assassination to be him. The emperor was angry and ordered a search of the Qi palace. During the search, a lot of letters were found in King Qi's study—secret correspondence with officials, including the Ministry of Infantry, the Ministry of Protection, and even some local governors. The level of involvement is so wide that it makes people scared. Among those letters, one was sent to Tham Minh Chau. The content of the letter was very simple: tell Tham Minh Chau to approach Bui Nghien Chi and monitor Dai Ly Tu's movements. As a condition of exchange, the King of Qi promised——if the event was successful, he would appoint Tham Minh Chau as his concubine. So Tham Minh Chau risked his life to approach Bui Nghien Chi, not just because he wanted to climb high. She is the chess piece of the King of Qi. Even——the poisoning to death of me in my previous life, most likely had something to do with King Qi. Bui Nghien Chi is Major Khanh Dai Ly Tu, if something happened to his wife, he would of course be distracted. But a distracted Major Khanh Dai Ly Tu is beneficial to King Qi's plan. My death is just a move. Thinking about this, my fingers get a little cold. Ta Lam Uyen realized.

"Nothing."

“Again, say nothing.” He held my hand, using the temperature in his palm to warm it, "your hand is so cold."

“Thinking about some things.”

“What?”

I hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to tell him the truth. Not all of it—the story of reincarnation is too thrilling, he may not believe it when he says it. But we can change it to another way of saying it.

“Ta Lam Uyen, I had a very long dream.”

"In my dream, I married Bui Nghien Chi. Three years later, I died."

His hand suddenly tightened.

"In the dream, the person who harmed me was Tham Minh Chau. She poisoned me."

“……That woman.” Ta Lam Uyen frowned, his voice carrying a cold tone for the first time.

"Currently, the King of Qi's case has drawn out the relationship behind Tham Minh Chau. I'm thinking——whether the incident in the dream was a kind of omen or not."

“Are you worried that she will still attack you?”

"Lo. But not just because of me." I looked at him, “There are still many of King Qi's comrades. Haven't checked yet. Before, your Marquis of Vu An Palace was almost implicated, proving that someone wanted to deal with the Ta family. That person may be even more dangerous than Trieu Nguyen Bach.”

Ta Lam Uyen's expression darkened. A moment later, he suddenly smiled softly.

“The dream you just talked about.” He looked straight into my eyes, "Am I in the dream?"

"……Do not have."

“Then in this life, it seems I have earned it.”

I was almost made him laugh.

“I'm talking seriously!”

“This is serious business.” His thumb gently rubbed the back of my hand, "No matter what the dream is, no matter what King Qi is like, in this life you will not die. I'm here.”

In mid-August, King Qi was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the private courtyard of the cold palace. Trieu Nguyen Bach was sentenced to prison and beheaded. Lord Trieu, Thi Lang of the Household Department, was dismissed from his position under investigation. As for Tham Minh Chau—— The evidence is solid, the enemy is treason. The entire Tham family was implicated. Father sat in the main hall, his face pale, not saying a word. The mother sat next to her and wiped her tears. After all, Tham Minh Chau is the granddaughter of the Tham family. If something happened to her, the reputation of the Tham family would inevitably be affected. But what was fatal was not reputation——it was that letter. Although the letter only mentioned Tham Minh Chau, King Qi had a sentence "The Tham family is available". The four words "The Tham family is available" were enough to make the whole court look at the Tham family in a different light.

“This is slander!” Father pounded the table, "My Shen family has been loyal for three generations. When did we ever interact with King Qi?"
