Chapter 28 — Mother-in-law Tests Daughter-in-law's Heart

“When she brought me the plate of dumplings, she said it was filled with chicken eggs.” “I asked again, she never mentioned the presence of chives.” “Then when I bit into it, I smelled chives.” The female police officer gently asked: “So why do you continue to eat?” Ninh Uyen's lips trembled. Everyone in the hospital room held their breath. She looked out the window, it was already dark. The glass reflected her pale face, and Tran Nghien's red eyes. She said softly: "Because she sat across from me." "She kept staring at me." "Her eyes told me, she was waiting for me to make fun of her." As soon as she finished speaking, Tran Nghien's phone suddenly lit up. Show call from lawyer. He glanced over, intending to turn it off. But the lawyer quickly sent a message. *The official test results are out.* *The chive content in the dumpling filling is very high.* *At the same time, the building management just sent me a new video.* *Before your mother entered your house, she stood in the hallway holding a bag and mumbling a sentence.* Tran Nghien clicked open the audio recording. There is only one sentence on it. *Today I have to test to see if he's really allergic or just pretending.* 19 The video in the hallway, after being enlarged, sounds a bit noisy. The sound of a plastic bag rubbing against the cuff of Ton Que Phan's shirt made a rustling sound. She lowered her head to open the bag, put her mouth close to the bunch of chives inside, mumbled in a low voice: "Today I have to test to see if it's really allergic or just pretending." The whole hospital room was so quiet in the blink of an eye that no sound could be heard. Ninh Uyen leaned against the head of the bed, her face pale to almost transparent. She didn't cry. But Tran Nghien would rather she burst into tears. The female police officer heard that sentence again, the pen in her hand stopped. "Can you provide this original video?" Tran Nghien immediately replied: "The building management board has already backed it up." "I will ask the lawyer to bring it here." The female police officer nodded. "This is very important." Ninh Uyen's mother stood next to the bed, her red eyes filled with anger. "She knows that Uyen Uyen is allergic." "But still "You have to try." "If this isn't intentional, then what do you call it?" The female police officer kept her voice very calm: "Miss, the next step must consider the entire chain of evidence." "But looking at the current situation, this is absolutely not a normal family dispute." Ninh Uyen lowered her eyes, her fingers gently caressing her lower abdomen. That place is smoldering and hardening again. She didn't dare breathe loudly. I'm afraid I'll panic and the baby will feel uncomfortable too. Tran Nghien realized her insecurity, immediately bent down and whispered: "Let's not talk about this anymore." "Go rest." The female police officer also closed the book. "Let's take a statement today." "Your health is the most important, we will discuss the rest with your husband." Ninh Uyen nodded slightly. The female police officer walked to the door and turned her head to look one more time. "Miss Ninh." "Your willingness to tell the truth is not trying to make a big deal out of it." "It's because you're protecting yourself." Hearing that sentence, Ninh Uyen's eyes finally turned red. From the moment it happened until now, too many people told her to let it go. Tell her to hold back a bit. Tell her for the so-called peace and dignity of the family. This was the first time someone told her clearly that she had the right to protect herself. Late that evening, Ton Que Phan was summoned again to give testimony. Tran Nguyet went with her. In the interrogation room, at first Ton Que Phan still gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. "I just said something wrong when I was angry." "Who cooks without letting out a few grumbles?" "How did I know it would end up like that?" The police officer pushed the photo cut from the video in front of her. Then she put the test results sheet aside. "She said just give me a little."
