Chapter 8 — My Two Sisters Pretended to Be Dead, Two Years Later, They Were Captured by Their Husbands

《Chapter 13》 After three days in Phuong Nghi Palace, I was so upset that I was about to grow mushrooms. Early in the morning of the fourth day, a strange female official pushed the door open and walked in. She was wearing a second-class uniform, about thirty years old, with a round face and almond eyes, and when she smiled, she looked extremely gentle.

"You two Miss Phung, I am the governess of Concubine Chu Quy's palace. I am following orders from the Imperial Concubine to visit you two."

Dich put down the books.

"Chu Quy Phi?"

My mind spins around. Concubine Chu Quy, the second-ranked figure in the harem. Her brother is the Thi Lang Infantry Department, on the same side as my father. The person who came did not have good intentions. The manager smiled and sat down.

"Your Highness has said that there are many inconveniences for the two young ladies in the palace. Your house is spacious. It would be better if we moved there, and there will be someone to take care of us."

The lady smiled politely.

"Thank you very much for your good intentions. It's just that the Queen has an order telling us to stay in the heavenly palace for now. We don't dare to move out on our own."

The smile on the manager's face faded a bit.

"Miss Phung is worried too much. The Queen is busy with thousands of things every day, so she doesn't have time to pay attention to two little girls. The Queen truly invited you two."

"Moreover..."

She lowered her voice.

"Master Phung's case has not yet been concluded. If the two young ladies are protected by the Noble Concubine, it is better than staying alone in the heavenly palace."

The meaning in the words beyond the words is: Your father's support has come to pick you up. If you know what to do, follow me. I was about to open my mouth to refuse when the heavenly temple door was pushed open again. The person who comes in, I know. Han Chi Qua. He was wearing civilian clothes, looking like he had just gotten off a horse. His eyes glanced over the manager, stopping on my face for a moment.

"The Han family has arrangements for arranging a place to live for the two ladies, so I don't dare bother you."

The manager's expression immediately changed.

"What does Second Young Master Han mean by saying that? The two ladies of the Phung family faked their deaths to leave the Han family, are they still considered members of the Han family?"

Han Chi Qua slightly raised his chin.

"Has the letter of separation been issued yet?"

The manager opened her mouth. Han Chi Qua said calmly:

"Then it's still a member of the Han family."

"The Han family's daughter-in-law, it's not her turn to pick her up yet."

The manager turned pale and left. After the door closed, I looked at Han Chi Qua.

"What are you doing here?"

He took out a packet of tar paper from his chest and placed it on the table.

"Flower waffles bought along the way. Exactly the store she used to like to eat."

I was stunned.

"How do you know I like to eat flower waffles?"

He turned his back.

"Every time your heart disease is about to flare up, you want to eat sweets. The maid in your room once told me."

Having finished speaking, he strode out. At the door, he paused for a moment.

"Concubine Chu is not a good person. Don't interact with her people."

The door closes. I stared at the package of flower waffles on the table for a long time, speechless. My sister propped her chin up and sat next to me, looking at me.

"He still remembers that I like to eat flower waffles."

"It's just a coincidence."

"What a coincidence."

《Chapter 14》 On the fifth day, an uninvited guest appeared in the palace. Lieu Ham Yen, Lieu Hien Phi. White Moon Light by Han Chi Thanh. She wore a dress light purple, with a branch of white magnolia in her hair. Every step forward brings with it a faint scent. It's truly beautiful. It's the kind of gentleness that penetrates to the core. In the past, my sister always said that she and Lieu Ham Yen were "two enemies in the capital", not only did they have some similarities in appearance, but their personalities were also gentle and dignified. Of course, that was just an appearance that she deliberately pretended. Lieu Hien Phi sat down opposite me, her voice was as soft as the spring breeze in March.

"You two sisters from the Phung family, long time no see."

The older sister's expression was still pale.

"Your Highness is healthy."

Lieu Hien Phi sighed softly.

"I heard that you two had returned, so I wanted to visit. For the past two years, Han Chi Thanh has lived..."

"...really not good."

She bowed her head, as if choosing her words.

"He gave up his position at the Academy of Hanlin, stayed home to mourn for two years, lost a lot of weight, and had a lot of gray hair."

"I'm still feeling guilty in my heart. I've tried to advise him many times, but he refuses to see me."

She raised her head, her eyes falling on her sister's face.

"Now that she's back alive, he... must be very happy, right?"

These words sound very good, but I taste another layer of meaning. Dich smiled.

"Did you come here to help Han Chi Thanh?"

"It's not really about helping."
