Chapter 11 — My Two Sisters Pretended to Be Dead, Two Years Later, They Were Captured by Their Husbands

He raised the notebook above his head.

"Each account has a signature for comparison."

The whole main hall was as quiet as paper. The tea cup in Chu Quy Phi's hand hit the table hard, making a "bang" sound. My father's face was sometimes red, sometimes white. He suddenly stood up and pointed straight at her.

"Phung Can, you ungrateful son! You colluded with outsiders to harm your biological father!"

Dich still stood in place, not moving at all.

"Father, if you dare to do something, you must dare to accept it."

"Where did all that money come from? You understand better than anyone else. I didn't want to make you lose face, but you forced me to return to the Han family to use the knife in your hand."

"If you can take advantage of even your biological daughter, then bringing these books to light cannot be considered unfilial."

The Queen suddenly slapped the armrest hard. Her gaze was as sharp as a knife, scanning everyone present.

"The evidence is clear about Phung Thiet Nguu's bribery, and the Holy Father will personally decide. Before the results come out, Lieutenant Phung Thai is temporarily excused from court, staying at home to wait for the investigation."

"As for the case of Sister Phung pretending to be dead, we will handle it separately."

My father opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. He looked at his sister, the anger in his eyes gradually turning into a more complex emotion. Just like the first time he realized, the two girls he had always viewed as chess pieces, had now become people who could overturn the entire chess board. He was escorted out. When passing by me, my lips moved slightly.

"You will regret it."

I looked straight into his eyes.

"Father, there are many things that make me regret, but not this one."

《Chapter 17》 The news that Phung Thiet Niu was detained in just one day spread throughout the imperial capital. That afternoon, three groups of people one after another went to the heavenly palace of Phuong Nghi palace. The first group is Prime Minister Han's wife. The old lady's white hair walked slowly, but her eyes were extremely bright. The first sentence after entering is:

"You two good children, you have suffered."

Having finished speaking, she grabbed my hand and her sister's, looking from head to toe once.

"From the very beginning, I saw that after you two married here, something was wrong. All day long, I was quiet and said nothing, as if I had suffered some resentment. This old woman wouldn't say anything even if I asked. Now that I know the reason, I feel really uncomfortable."

Her eyes turned red.

"The Han family is sorry for you children."

Dich sighed softly.

"The old lady is exaggerating. The Han family's rules are strict, but we have never touched our sisters. If you want to complain, you can only resent your father."

The old lady squeezed her sister's hand tightly.

"It's good to be back. Once you're back, I'll take care of you."

The second group is Concubine Zhou of the Han family's Three Rooms. When she walked in, the smile on her face was sweeter than honey.

"The eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, oh my, it is true that the Bodhisattva is alive. If he does not die in great tribulation, there will be good fortune."

She grabbed my hand and looked down, her face filled with pain.

"So skinny, wrists as small as sticks."

I smiled.

"Miss Chu is being polite."

"No need to be polite, we're all family."

She sat down, talked for a while, and finally revealed her true purpose.

"That's right, big sister, there are a few shops in the gable After he left, I always looked after him and helped him. Now that I have returned, another day I will bring the books of those stores and give them back to me."

Dich smiled slightly.

"No need. Before leaving, I cleaned out those stores. The goods and silver inside have all been shipped out a long time ago, what's left for you are just a few empty shells."

The smile on Concubine Chu's face stiffened.

"Of course, if in the past two years Miss Chu has earned any money from those empty shells, then that is your skill, I will not ask about it."

Concubine Zhou's fingers holding the scarf trembled slightly.

"My sister-in-law was joking, I don't have that ability."

She couldn't sit still anymore and hastily left. When I walked out the door I almost tripped over the steps. The third group is Han Chi Qua. He stood outside the door, carrying a packet of tar paper in his hand.

"Flower waffles?"

He shook his head.

"Chestnut cake. That store won't be ready until the afternoon."

I accept it.

"Are you free these days?"

He bowed his head.

"Not free. Outside the border, there are still many things waiting for us to return to handle."

"So why are you still here?"

He was silent for a long time.

"There's something I've wanted to ask you since two years ago."

He raised his head to look at me.

"At that time, she pretended to be dead, did she really not hesitate at all?"

I think for a moment.

"No hesitation."

"Because I thought you didn't care."
