Chapter 5 — My Two Sisters Pretended to Be Dead, Two Years Later, They Were Captured by Their Husbands

From the road... We're back again.

"The good news is that the previous kneeling cushion has been replaced."

I tilted my head to look.

"Also embroidered with peonies. That's fine."

Dich squatted down to touch it.

"There are thicker linings. Kneeling won't be as painful as before."

"The Han family still has some conscience."

As soon as the two of us knelt down, a loud voice sounded like thunder outside the door. Incorrect. That was my father's voice. Phung Thiet Nguu's appearance never required anyone's notice. He kicked the door out of the way. His muscular body cleverly filled the entire door frame. Two fierce rays of light swept straight forward.

"Very good! It's so hard for me to find you guys!"

My sister and I shrunk our necks at the same time. My father took several big steps in front of us, standing there like an iron tower, his nostrils spewing out two streams of anger.

"You two are useless."

"I spent so much effort to force Prime Minister Han to resign. It's good for you two. You're alive and jumping back here."

Dich smiled coldly.

"So father is blaming us for coming back and ruining his good deeds?"

《Chapter 10》 My father turned around, his cloudy eyes staring at my sister. In those eyes, there was no joy in finding his daughter again. There is only the anger of a gambler when he discovers that the cards in his hand are knocked over.

"If you have the guts, say it again."

Sister straightened her back.

"I said, father used the deaths of me and my sister to force Prime Minister Han to leave the court. Now we are back alive."

"What you fear is not that something will happen to us, but that Prime Minister Han Dong Son will reappear."

My father's facial muscles twitched slightly. He did not deny it. A moment later, he grinned, a smile even more unsightly than crying.

"My daughter knows how to use her brain."

He squatted down, one hand grabbed her chin, forcing her to raise her head.

"Phung Can, you remember carefully. From being a butcher to the position I have today, you have stepped on many people, you don't know. Prime Minister Han has fallen, there will be no one in the court to stand in my way anymore."

"But you two have just returned, the news cannot be hidden. In less than three days, Prime Minister Han will know that his daughter-in-law is still alive. When he can regain his breath, the first thing to do is return to the court."

He let go and stood up.

"So right now, you two only have one path."

"Return obediently to the Han family, turning your 'resurrection' into the Han family's weakness."

I frowned and asked:

"What do you mean?"

My father clasped his hands behind his back, his tone bland as if he was talking about what to eat today.

"Phung Te, you should move your rusty head. Once the story of the two of you pretending to be dead is spread out, what face will the Han family have? They are a wealthy family, yet we don't even know whether our daughter-in-law is alive or dead."

"You two came back and made a big deal out of this, making the whole city know. In order to hide the bad news, the Han family could only grit their teeth and hold you back, and even had to turn to beg you not to reveal the fake death story."

"Even if Prime Minister Han wants to reappear, carrying this scandal, he cannot raise his head in the court."

He nodded with satisfaction.

"Is it magic?"

My sister and I looked at each other.

"Don't go."

Dich spoke first.

"Father, I can't go anymore."

I continued. My father's proud face immediately darkened.

"What did you two say?"

Dich stood up.

"Phung Thiet Nguu, you used this trick two years ago. You see me and my sister as knives and give orders, what will be the result? We almost really died at the Han family."

"Now you want to use the old trick again, taking our lives in exchange for your money."

"I tell you, it's not possible anymore."

I also stood up.

"Father, over the past two years, my sister and I have not just lived outside temporarily."

"I have the sword, you have the silver. We don't need people, nor do we need the Han family."

The smile on my father's face completely disappeared. He slowly opened his mouth, word by word.

"Don't need me?"

"Very good, Phung Te, your wings are stiff."

He took a step forward.

"Do you think that if I run to Tay Liang, I won't be able to find you? Do you think that by knowing a few people in the world, you can confront me?"

"Let me tell you, I have been wandering around the court for twenty years, out of the six Ministers, four of them are my people, even the Commander of the Imperial Army once drank the wine I offered him. Your few petty gangster moves, in front of me, you can't even fart."
