Chapter 18 — My Two Sisters Pretended to Be Dead, Two Years Later, They Were Captured by Their Husbands

There is unwillingness. There was also a trace of emotion that I had never seen before on his face.

"You two girls..."

"Since when did it become like this?"

"How?"

"Become people who dare to confront their own father."

He put down the wine cup.

"Phung Te, do you know what makes me regret the most in this life?"

"Are you kidding that we're not sons?"

He shook his head.

"It's because I looked down on you guys."

I said nothing. He slowly stood up. The back is bent down, a bit lower than before.

"I will not plead guilty."

"I guessed it."

"I have never bowed my head in my entire life."

"Whether it's when killing pigs, or when being a Captain."

"So what are you going to do?"

He looked at me, the corner of his mouth pulled up into a smile.

"Let's watch the show."

"Let's see if your father can finally turn the tide."

I turned around and walked to the door, then looked back at him.

"Father."

"It can't be overturned anymore."

He did not reply. Two hours later. Morning adoration. Prime Minister Han presented all the evidence. Right in front of the court, the Holy King announced and read part of the verified results about Phung Thiet Nguu's bribery. The list of Ministry officials involved in the case was announced. Right on the spot, there were three people whose legs were weak. The Marquis of Thua An stood there with pale eyes, unable to say a word. In the harem, when Concubine Chu received the news, the female mandarin next to her said that Concubine Concubine Chu had broken all the nails she had just finished. Outside the palace gate, Van Dan Thu was also offered. The names of thirteen hundred people, along with dark red handprints, covered thirty pages. The Queen Mother personally read the Van Dan Book. After that, she said one sentence to the Queen.

"The eldest girl of the Phung family has more future than her father."

That afternoon, the decree was given. Phung Thiet Nguu was relieved of his position as Lieutenant, stripped of all official positions, confiscated of all property acquired through illegal activities, escorted back home, and permanently ineligible for employment. The Marquis of Thua An was stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner. The relevant Six Ministry officials were all tried according to their crimes. Regarding the case of sister Phung pretending to be dead, the Saint's attitude was extremely skillful. In the scriptures it is written:

"Sister Phung Thi was forced by her father. She can be forgiven and is not prosecuted."

But finally there is one more sentence:

"Mr. Quy Van's talent is a valuable asset to the country. Order the Household Ministry to draw up a charter of cooperation. In the future, all relief work of the Quy Van brand will be directly connected with the royal court."

That is like taking the will of the Heavenly Father to give my sister a protective talisman. From today, her business has had the greatest support. No one will dare to touch her anymore. When the holy edict was transmitted to the heavenly palace, the elder sister was silent for a long time. After that, she only said one sentence.

"It's over."

《Chapter 26》 The day my father was escorted out of the capital, my sister and I arrived at the city gate together. Not to see you off. Just passing by often. Phung Thiet Nguu sat on an old horse carriage. There is no ritual. No entourage. There were only two errors in driving the car. He saw the two sisters standing on the side of the road and smiled softly.

"Are you two girls here to see father laugh at me?"

Dich shook his head.

"I came to give something back to father."

That guy told Thuy Binh brought up a cloth wrap. Phung Thiet Nguu opened it to see. Inside is a pair of old canvas shoes.

"These are the shoes my father used to wear when selling pork at the market."

"Before mother passed away, she told me to keep it carefully."

Phung Thiet Nguu's hand holding the shoes trembled slightly in the blink of an eye. He said nothing. Just quietly tucked the shoes into my chest.

"When your mother left..."

"What did she say?"

"She said..."

"Phung Thiet Nguu, the only thing you did right in your whole life was giving birth to two daughters."

Phung Thiet Nguu laughed dryly.

"It really looks very good."

The carriage began to move. Phung Thiet Nguu never turned back. After taking a few steps, his voice suddenly rang out loudly.

"Tell your two husbands!"

"If you dare to treat my lady unkindly..."

"Even if I have to crawl back from the fields, I will still beat them!"

Seeing that he was being too noisy, the translator raised his whip and threatened him. He cursed and mumbled as he retreated back into the carriage. My sister and I stood in front of the city gate, watching the carriage go further and further away.

"Do you hate your father?"

I asked my sister.

"I used to hate it."

"What now?"

"Now I just see him pitifully."

The guy turned around.

"Let's go, don't look anymore."
