Chapter 2 — My Two Sisters Pretended to Be Dead, Two Years Later, They Were Captured by Their Husbands

I let out a small breath.

"Since childhood, he has criticized us for not being boys. Hearing that we are dead, I'm afraid he feels relieved."

I look at that sister.

"It's just sister, are you really willing to fall in love with Han Chi Thanh?"

Before she could answer, footsteps were heard outside the door. The two of us immediately knelt down. The door was pushed open and the person entering was Han Chi Thanh. He nodded slightly at me, then walked next to his sister and opened the food box.

"I've been kneeling all day, let's eat something."

My sister's face was cold.

"Is Young Master Han here to give alms?"

Han Chi Thanh's movements paused for a moment, did not respond, just quietly laid out the bowl and chopsticks.

"It's okay to know what's wrong and fix it. There's no need to be angry here."

"Who said I was wrong?"

Dich raised her neck high.

"I'm not wrong."

Han Chi Thanh frowned slightly.

"As the father of the Han family, you go in and out of casinos, frequent smoky places, and associate with people of the three sects and nine classes, yet you still say you're not wrong?"

Dich smiled coldly.

"Very well, Han Chi Thanh. You consider rules and dignity more important than anything else. So I ask you, if today it was not I who was sitting on the silver mat but your concubine Lieu Hien, would you still be able to say those words?"

Han Chi Thanh frowned slightly, then tilted his head for a long time and replied:

"She wouldn't do such a thing."

"Of course not, she is perfect. In the whole world, she is the most dignified, gentlest, and most similar to the person in your heart."

The sister straightened her back and said every word:

"Han Chi Thanh, if one day I die, you won't even bother to frown?"

Han Chi Thanh put down his chopsticks neatly.

"You have been punished, this matter ends here. I will report to my father. As for the rumors outside, I have sent someone to handle them, and will not harm your reputation. From now on, you can keep to yourself."

"Know how to keep yourself?"

Dich suddenly stood up.

"The way I look today is my true self. I'm a famous lady, I'm a polite lady, I'm all pretending for you Han family to see."

"You people look down on traders, look down on wanderers. But do you know where the money used to repair every brick and tile of your Han Academy comes from? Isn't it all the money contributed by the merchants you despise?"

"Phung Can."

Han Chi Thanh's voice lowered a bit.

"Pay attention in moderation."

"To what extent?"

Dich took a step forward.

"Today I'll make it clear. Han Chi Thanh just keep to your rules and live your life, Phung Can just keep gambling, keep living according to your will. River water doesn't violate well water."

I always pretended to sit and listen, but I didn't expect to be called out.

"Phung Te, don't just sit and watch, say something."

I immediately bowed my head.

"You two just keep going, don't pay attention to me."

Han Chi Thanh angrily waved his sleeves and left. To be able to make the Han family's eldest son, who is so cold and calm, angry into this state, I'm afraid only my sister can do it in the whole world. Dich took a deep breath and sat back down on the kneeling cushion.

"It's so refreshing, I've been putting up with him for a year."

I looked at her red eyes and said nothing. She noticed and slightly raised her eyebrows.

"Put it away now That look on your face. If you love, you can let go."

"Tomorrow I will die, leaving him and Lieu Hien to live alone."

Having said that, she broke off a piece of cinnamon cake from the food box and took a bite.

"Han Chi Thanh, tell you to see me as this substitute, tell you to set rules for me. Even when I die, I have to drag him into the water, leaving him paralyzed. Ha ha ha, just thinking about it makes me happy."

"Don't comfort me, I'm fine."

"I just want to ask... can you share a piece of cinnamon cake with me? I'm so hungry that my chest hurts."

She glared at me then pushed the food box over. At midnight, the two of us were munching cinnamon rolls and discussing plans for tomorrow when suddenly there were rustling noises outside the door. I immediately perked up my ears. A few seconds later, a figure sneaked in. It's Thuy Binh, the maid next to my sister.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, this servant just inquired about something."

Thuy Binh squatted between the two of us, her face tense.

"Today, after the Grand Master returned to his room, he called the butler in. What they discussed... was about separation."

The lady's face did not change at all.

"In anticipation."

"Not only that."

Thuy Binh bit her lip.

"After the butler went out, he went to the old master's study. The old man's intention is that it's okay to separate, but you must let the Eldest Miss leave empty-handed and not bring any dowry."

I frowned slightly.

"Is it that great?"

Thuy Binh lowered her voice even more.

"Concubine Chu of the Three Rooms talked all the time with the Third Lady of the Han family, saying that the First Lady did not maintain her morality as a wife and was not worthy of being a patriarch. Instead, she took this opportunity to keep all of the First Lady's dowry maids and shops, as penance to the Han family."
