Chapter 9
Chapter 9 — My Two Sisters Pretended to Be Dead, Two Years Later, They Were Captured by Their Husbands
Lieu Hien Phi shook her head.
"It's just that I feel like there might be some misunderstanding between you two."
"Han Chi Thanh is not good at speaking. He has her in his heart, but he just doesn't know how to express it."
The elder sister raised her tea cup.
"Your Highness really understands Han Chi Thanh very well."
Concubine Liu Hien's face flashed with confusion.
"Han Chi Thanh and I... are old acquaintances, that's all."
"That's all?"
Dich repeated softly once.
"Okay, then I'll tell you something sincere."
She put down the tea cup.
"In Han Chi Thanh's heart, whether I am or not, I no longer care. Since the day I faked my death and left the Han family, I have completely cut off from my previous days."
Lieu Hien Phi's face changed slightly.
"What you mean is..."
"What I mean is, you don't need to continue being the mediator anymore."
The elder sister stood up and bowed to her.
"What Han Chi Thanh wants is his business. Phung Can's path, I will walk myself."
After Lieu Hien Phi left, I looked at my sister.
"Are what you just said true? You really don't care anymore?"
My sister didn't answer, she turned her head and said a word towards the window.
"Eavesdropping long enough, Mr. Han."
Outside the window there was a soft sound. Han Chi Thanh's voice came from the other side of the wall, very low.
"It's not like I invited her here."
Dich smiled coldly.
"That proves the point even more. She voluntarily came to help you, is it really 'just that' between the two of you?"
There was no more noise outside. After a while, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. Dich sat back in her chair, the tough look on her face fading a bit. She stared at the surface of the water in her tea cup.
"Sister, you're really okay."
"I didn't ask."
"That expression of yours is asking."
I pushed the package of flower waffles in front of her.
"Eat a piece of cake. It's the same store that Han Chi Qua bought, it's delicious."
She glanced at me, picked it up and took a bite. 《Chapter 15》 The Queen's interrogation lasted for seven days and still had no results. Outside news travels faster than the last. Every day, Thuy Binh goes in and out of Phuong Nghi palace in the name of delivering food, bringing back news from outside.
"Eldest Miss, Lieutenant Phung Thai presented a petition to the court, saying that the two young ladies were forced to the limit by the Han family, so they had to pretend to be dead and escape, asking the Holy Lord to severely punish the Han family."
I almost dropped the piece of cake in my hand.
"He changed white for black!"
My sister was not surprised at all.
"He can do that."
"What about Prime Minister Han?"
"Prime Minister Han presented a self-explanatory statement during the night, but he has retired for two years, his old subordinates in the court have also disappeared more than half, and his prestige cannot surpass Lieutenant Phung Thai."
Dich frowned slightly.
"Now father wants to stir up trouble and make the Saint believe that the fault lies with the Han family. As long as the stick falls on the Han family's head, he will be safe."
"So what should we do?"
"Wait what?"
"Waiting for the accounts of your three money exchange shops to be entered."
After another two days, Thuy Binh finally brought a package of things. Inside are three notebooks, on the cover are written "Giap tu name", "At tu name", "Binh tu name". My sister flipped through about half a stick of incense, the corners of her lips slowly turning curved up.
"Found it."
She pushed a notebook towards me.
"Look at this. The money exchange shop is called Giap. Three years ago, a very large sum of money was transferred. The account owner was listed as a person named Thiet Tam Dao."
"Who is Thiet Tam Dao?"
"That was my father's nickname before he became a butcher."
I took a breath of cold air.
"This money, after changing hands three times, finally flowed to the Marquis of Thua An. The Marquis of Thua An is Chu Quy Phi's biological uncle."
"In other words, father used a fake name to give Concubine Chu Quy's uncle a huge amount of silver?"
"Not just one amount."
"In three years, twelve times in size, total more than one million taels of silver."
Dich closed the notebook.
"He is using money to buy support from the Chu family. No wonder Concubine Chu's people immediately came to pick us up when they heard the news. They are originally from the same side."
My mind quickly turned around.
"Can these notebooks be presented to the Queen?"
"Maybe, but not sure enough yet."
Dich opened another book.
"We still need one more person to testify to prove that this money was indeed personally handled by Phung Thiet Nguu."
