Chapter 13
Chapter 13 — My Two Sisters Pretended to Be Dead, Two Years Later, They Were Captured by Their Husbands
My sister and I sat in the heavenly palace, eating chestnut cakes and listening until we were intoxicated.
"And then what?"
"After Marquis Thua An left, Lieutenant Phung Thai overturned the entire table in the study room."
The sister was in an extremely good mood, so she poured another cup of tea.
"Father's biggest support is the Chu family. As long as the Chu family develops enmity with him, half of his foundation in the court will be shaken."
"But that's still not enough. Although Marquis Thua An was angry, the interests of both sides were tied together, he couldn't really turn his back on his father."
"So how can we really make them turn around?"
"No rush, just let things ferment for a while."
I don't understand, but I don't ask anymore. During these few days, a small incident happened. Han Chi Thanh went to the temple to find his sister. He stood outside the door, did not enter, only said one sentence.
"The day Lieu Ham Yen came to find her, the words she said were not dictated by me. She and I are really just old acquaintances, nothing else."
Dich leaned against the door frame.
"Did you come here on purpose just to talk about this?"
"Yes, just to talk about this."
My sister observed him for a while.
"Han Chi Thanh, you weren't the type of person to do things like this before."
"What happened before... was my mistake."
He paused a bit.
"After you left, I investigated all the people in your casino. They said you had never gambled big, and most of your winnings were given to the poor."
"The casino is just her cover. What she really does is business."
He looked at the sister.
"It's because I mistook her before."
The sister was silent for a moment.
"There are a lot of things you got wrong, there's no shortage of this one."
The guy closed the door. Han Chi Thanh still stood outside the door without moving. After a long time, he turned around and left. I lay down by the window and looked at his back. The cold eldest son of two years ago, even his gait was different now. Shoulders are slightly drooped, steps are also slower. I turned my head to look at my sister. She sat at the table, her fingers unconsciously drawing something on the table.
"You actually want to open the door, right?"
"Shut up and eat my chestnut cake."
《Chapter 20》 The plan of marrying me as a Concubine to the Third Prince ultimately failed. Not because her father suddenly discovered conscience, but because after Concubine Thuc, the Third Prince's mother, learned of the evidence of Phung Thiet Nguu's bribery, she proactively canceled this marriage. Thuc Phi is not stupid. Phung Thiet Nguu right now is like a hot potato. Whoever gets involved will be in trouble. My father became angry in the palace. According to Thuy Binh's report, in just one night he smashed two tables and three teapots. But he refused to admit defeat. Phung Thiet Nguu's greatest skill in this life is being shameless. He changed direction. On the third day, a rumor suddenly appeared in the royal capital. It is said that Mr. Quy Van is a woman in her thirties, has never been married, secretly controls the trade routes in the royal capital, and most likely has outside forces behind her. Once the sentence "There is an outside force behind" was spread, the nature of the incident immediately changed. It is no longer simply a matter of home, but has become into a major case related to national affairs. Dich looked at the leaflet from the street that Thuy Binh brought back, her face gradually darkened.
"It's father's trick."
"How does he know about Mr. Quy Van?"
"He once said that his detectives have long been investigating your identity. This time spreading the news is to drag you down."
"What he means is, if you don't obediently listen, he will expose Mr. Quy Van's true identity. At that time, the entire civil and military court and the royal family will investigate. All the hard work you have built up over the years will be completely destroyed."
I clenched my fist.
"How could he do that? You are his biological daughter."
"In his eyes, you were never a daughter, just a chess piece. If the chess piece doesn't listen, then even if the chess piece is turned over, you won't be able to leave the chess piece alone."
She closed the copy of the transmission.
"But this time he also made a mistake."
"What mistake?"
"He only knows that Mr. Quy Van is my sister, but he doesn't know how strong Mr. Quy Van really is."
The guy turned to look at me.
"Sister, next you will do something."
"Perhaps even crazier than pretending to be dead. But if successful, father will never be able to threaten us again."
"What's going on?"
"I will personally announce Mr. Quy Van's identity in front of everyone."
"Are you crazy?"
"Not crazy."
"It's because I don't want to continue hiding it anymore."
"The reason why father can threaten you is because this status is your weakness. But if you turn over your own card, there will be no more cards in his hand."
"But after you showed up, the royal court..."
