Chapter 11 — Kieu Hoa went to the wrong door, I don't want to go back

Outside the door came Co Hoai Nghien's voice.

“No need to go out.”

I put the key back, stood up and opened the door. He stood in the hallway, behind him was the cold light.

"My father has arrived. Anyway, I have to meet him once."

“He didn't come to see her.”

He looked at me.

“You know but you still go?”

“It's because I know that I have to go.”

Thanh Chi frantically said:

“Miss.”

I replied softly:

“Hiding only makes them do all the talking for me.”

Co Hoai Nghien did not stop.

“I'll go with you.”

Those three words were said very calmly, but Thanh Chi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Outside the lobby of the Thai Pho palace, father was blocked in front of the gate. He was still wearing the clothes he used to see me off during the day, but his belt was askew and his face was gray, as if he had aged a few years overnight. The stepmother stood next to him, her eyes red, her hand holding a scarf tightly. As soon as she saw me, she choked up and said:

“Duong Ninh, how could you do such a thing?”

We stopped on the steps.

“What did you do?”

The model wiped away tears.

"I got off the palanquin in the middle of the road and called someone else my husband, causing the dignity of both the Tham family and the Luc family to be lost."

“If this matter hadn't spread to the palace today, I'm afraid your father would have been angered to death by you.”

The father said in a low voice:

“Duong Ninh, follow me home.”

I looked at him.

“Going back to the Tham family?”

“Just go back first.”

“What happens after that?”

He avoided my eyes.

"Wait until tomorrow to go to the palace and explain the reason clearly, then we will consider the long term."

I smiled softly.

“What are you going to say, father?”

“Are you saying you're fascinated by someone else?”

“Are you saying you don't know how to keep the rules?”

“Or do you mean your biological mother doesn't know how to teach you?”

His father's expression immediately changed. The model hastily said:

“How can you think about your father like that?”

I looked at her.

"Then tell me, mother, why did the palanquin come to the Thai Pho palace?"

The stepmother's eyes flashed slightly.

“This matter is of course a mistake by the Luc family's servants.”

“So why did the lady, following the Tham family's dowry, urge you to return to the Luc family all the way?”

“Auspicious hours are very important, what's wrong with her urging you?”

“Manager Liu is dead.”

The stepmother's crying suddenly stopped. Just for a moment. But we can still see it. Co Hoai Nghien stood next to me and spoke faintly.

“It seems that Mrs. Tham is not surprised.”

The stepmother quickly bowed her knees and bowed.

“Master Gu misunderstood, I was just scared.”

Co Hoai Nghien said:

"The news outside the Thai Pho palace was just blocked. Why did the Tham family know so quickly that manager Liu was dead?"

Father suddenly turned to look at his stepmother.

“What do you know?”

The model's face became even whiter.

"I only heard random rumors from the servants in the palace."

“Which subhuman?”

She tightened her grip on the scarf.

“There are so many people in the palace, how can I remember?”

Co Hoai Nghien told his entourage: Stepmother is even more panicked.

“Master Gu, this is the private matter of the Tham family.”

Co Hoai Nghien calmly replied:

"The person who died in the alley behind my mansion is no longer the private matter of the Tham family."

Finally, my father could not bear it.

“Lord Gu, Duong Ninh is my daughter.”

"It's also the person who was told by the palace to temporarily stay at the Thai Pho residence."

Co Hoai Nghien replied, "No, no." slow.

“Lord Shen wants to take her away, so please first ask His Majesty to revoke the edict.”

The father was so blocked that he was speechless. I looked at him, the remaining bitterness in my heart finally gradually disappeared. It's not that he doesn't love me. It's just that his love will forever stand behind the reputation of the Tham family. The stepmother suddenly rushed in front of her father, crying and saying:

"Master, I told you, since Duong Ninh was able to cling to the Thai Pho palace, he no longer recognizes the Tham family."

"He even dared to question me, his mother. When he enters the palace tomorrow, he still doesn't know what he will say."

I followed her words and asked:

“Mother is afraid what you will say?”

She choked. I walked down the steps and walked in front of her.

"I'm afraid that before I got married, you looked at the gold bracelet on my hand?"

"I'm afraid you'll say that someone will compare your biological mother to you and scold her for her stubborn character, which is why it won't end well?"

"Or are you afraid that you might say that on the way, someone cut off a corner of your veil?"

The stepmother's eyelids twitched. Parents were also stunned.

“Viltle?”

I stared at my stepmother.

“Mother, don't you know?”

“It was you who told the matchmaker to personally put that veil on your head.”

The stepmother took a half step back.

“Don't spit blood on people.”

At that moment, someone outside came to report.

"Sir, the Kinh Trieu residence has sent word that the maid bringing the soup has already opened."

Co Hoai Nghien turned around. The entourage looked towards everyone in the Tham family, his voice a bit cold.

"She said someone gave her five hundred taels of silver and sent her to the palace to deliver soup."

“What bank is the check issued by?”

“School of Entitlement Tickets.”
