Chapter 12 — My Two Sisters Pretended to Be Dead, Two Years Later, They Were Captured by Their Husbands

His breathing stopped for a moment.

"She thought wrong."

Having finished speaking, he turned and left. I held the package of chestnut cakes and stood there, feeling that this person always spoke in half a sentence. My sister is in the room calling me.

"Don't look anymore. Come in here, it's important."

We went back in and sat down.

"What's going on?"

"Even though father has been detained, his people in the court are still there. Concubine Chu Quy's side has not given up yet."

She opened a secret letter that had just arrived.

"Thuy Binh has investigated, Chu Quy Phi's uncle, Marquis Thua An, is in contact with Phung Thiet Nguu's former party members in the Luc Department, preparing to jointly present a petition asking him to turn the case over to him."

"What are they going to say?"

"Say that we fabricated evidence and slandered the loyal minister."

"Isn't that lying with your eyes open?"

"Since when has the court spoken of morality? Whoever has the loudest voice is the one who is moral."

She put away the secret letter.

"We have to act first."

《Chapter 18》 My sister's first move was not what I expected. Early the next morning, she told Thuy Binh to bring thirteen envelopes.

"These thirteen envelopes were sent one after another to the treasurers of the thirteen brands in the imperial capital."

"Is it all a fortune in the name of Mr. Quy Van?"

"These are brands that have a long-term cooperative relationship with Mr. Quy Van."

"What's the use?"

"Starting tomorrow, all thirteen of these brands will simultaneously announce the temporary suspension of supplying paper, ink, cloth and lamp oil to the Luc Ministry in the capital."

"What is the reason?"

"Insufficient inventory, need to restock."

The guy looked at me.

"Think about it, how many days could the Luc Ministry's daily activities last without paper, ink, cloth, and lamp oil?"

I think.

"Two days at most. They can't even write dispatches, and there's no light to read chapters. Where do they have the heart to sing together?"

I look at you. How cruel. Two days later, the effect immediately appeared. The six sets are tangled like a chicken with hair stuck in it. Thua An's joint venture did not even collect half of the signatures, because everyone was busy running around looking for paper and ink. Concubine Chu Quy was so angry that she broke three tea sets in the palace. But my sister said this was just a delaying tactic.

"Only cures the tip, not the root. Father's relationship is too deep, these tricks can only disrupt their rhythm, but cannot eradicate it."

"So what is the real killer move?"

Before the sister could answer, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard outside. Thuy Binh rushed in with a pale face.

"Miss, something happened."

"Lieutenant Phung Thai, while being detained, secretly met with the Third Prince's advisor. The Third Prince agreed to speak for him in front of the Holy Emperor, on one condition..."

She swallowed.

"The condition is to marry the Second Miss to the Third Prince to become a Concubine."

I spit out a mouthful of tea. Dich immediately stood up.

"Is he crazy?"

Thuy Binh was so impatient that she was about to cry.

"The news came from Han Chi Thanh's side. The third prince told the Holy Emperor, saying that he had long admired the second lady of the Phung family, and was willing to accept him as Trac concubine, so that the Phung and Han families could be in harmony."

"His Majesty did not immediately agree, but also did not refuse."

My mind bee made a sound. The father really did disregard everything, even his biological daughter could be used as a pawn to buy and sell. My sister held my shoulder tightly.

"Calm down. The Third Prince's affairs are not that easy."

"Because the Third Prince's mother is Concubine Thuc, who is at odds with Concubine Chu Quy. And his father is a person of Concubine Chu Quy. If the Third Prince makes a deal with him, Concubine Chu Quy may not necessarily agree."

"In other words, this time father is betting on both sides. While luring the Third Prince, he also hides Concubine Chu. Once Concubine Chu finds out..."

Dich slowly smiled.

"Then let her know."

That night, an anonymous envelope was delivered condemning Concubine Chu Quy's letter. There was only one sentence in the letter. Lieutenant Phung Thai secretly discussed the matter of Trac Phi with the Third Prince. Did Marquis Thua An know about this? 《Chapter 19》 Chu Quy Phi already knew. Her reaction was even more intense than we expected. Early the next morning, Marquis Thua An came to the gate of Phung Palace with a face as black as ink. Thuy Binh has arranged for people to monitor outside, every move is reported.

"After Marquis of Thua An went inside, he had a huge argument with Lieutenant Phung Thai. Marquis of Thua An said that Lieutenant Phung Thai was two-faced and what did it mean that behind the Chu family's back he was doing business with the Third Prince. Lieutenant Phung Thai explained for a long time, but Marquis of Thua An didn't believe him, and finally knocked on the door and left."
