Chapter 6 — Ngoc Boi decided to fall into the hands of the Crown Prince

"If you don't have a family background, I'm afraid you'll only know how to beg on the roadside, and even living on will be difficult."
In my heart, I was panicking, afraid that Trieu Tien would be heartbroken, and wanted to stop him. He was neither fast nor slow, but calmly said:
"So what, Nguyen Nguyen still chooses me, not you. In her heart, I am better than you. My family background is given to me by my father and mother. If you want, you can't have it."
"Moreover, I have never used my family background to bully others. I did it once today."
Trieu Tien suddenly took the brooch from Ta Thanh Giac's hand, along with several brooches on the counter that I didn't choose, all in my hand. Then called the guard guarding outside the door and instructed:
"Pay double the money to the shopkeeper, and return Ta Thanh Giac's silver to him. If he doesn't accept it, take it to his house."
He raised his chin, glanced at Ta Thanh Giac, then held my hand and walked out. Ta Thanh Giac lifted his foot and wanted to follow. Trieu Tien narrowed his eyes again and added in a cold voice:
“If he dares to follow, break his legs.”
Ta Thanh Giac was stopped, his pale face stopped, his deep eyes looked at our backs. Arriving at an empty place, Trieu Tien suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a cunning smile:
"Nguyen Nguyen, did I scare you when I pretended just now? When my father is angry, that's exactly what happened."
Turns out he was pretending, I couldn't help but laugh:
“Indeed, I was almost scared.”
I'm afraid he will be hurt by what Ta Thanh Giac just said. I thought for a moment then said:
"Trieu Tien, you are right. In my heart, you are ten thousand times better than Ta Thanh Giac. With you here, I don't even want to look at him."
Trieu Tien suddenly came closer to me, so close that I could feel his breath. He softly asked me:
“So Nguyen Nguyen likes me the most?”
I was so taken by the frankness in his eyes that my heart skipped two beats, so I tried to calmly say:
“Of course, I like it the most.”
The day I get married to Trieu Tien is coming soon. I received a piece of paper that Ta Thanh Giac asked someone to bring. It said that my parents' relics were at his house. If I didn't come and get them myself, he would burn them all.

Before his parents passed away, he actually sent things to the Ta family. I'm not sure if what he said was true or false, but after thinking about it many times, I still felt like I couldn't go. If he did something outrageous, even if I had ten mouths, I wouldn't be able to say it clearly. After making up my mind, I didn't think about this anymore. The next day, Trieu Tien left the door early in the morning and still did not return at night. He even cut off the servant's tail, and everyone up and down in the palace was anxious. I discovered that piece of paper in the clothes he changed into. Panic in his heart, he guessed that perhaps he had gone to find Ta Thanh Giac. I immediately went to inform Princess Truong and took the guards to Ta palace to find someone. But Ta Thanh Giac's face was expressionless, insisting that he had never met Trieu Tien.
"Tong Nguyen, Trieu Tien are not normal people, who knows where he ran to."
My eyes fell on his hand, suppressing the panic in my heart, calmly said:
"Ta Thanh Giac, did you know? When you lie, your thumb will unconsciously press your knuckles."
He was stunned, lowered his head and looked down, and sure enough, the knuckle of his index finger was full of fingerprints. He immediately withdrew his hand, looked away and said: "This is just your wild speculation. I've never met Trieu Tien. He's a prince. Even if I had ten guts, I wouldn't dare hide it from anyone. You should still look elsewhere."
Indeed, as long as Ta Thanh Giac doesn't say anything, I won't have any evidence. But if he finds Trieu Tien a moment too late, he will be in even more danger. I clenched my fingers, made a quick decision, and said to the guard behind me:
"Bring Ta Thanh Giac back for interrogation, what consequences will I bear?"
Ta Thanh Giac widened his eyes and said in horror:
“Tong Nguyen, you dare to treat me like that!”
I said seriously:
"Ta Thanh Giac, if anything happens to Trieu Tien, you don't want to live."
“Immediately bring him back and interrogate the prince's whereabouts!”

The Marquis once led soldiers into battle, and his guards also went to the battlefield. Everyone has experience in interrogating criminals. Ta Thanh Giac is a writer and has never seen such a battle. After being threatened a few times, he immediately confessed after touching the instrument twice. Trieu Tien indeed came to find him, asking him to return my parents' relics. Ta Thanh Giac tricked him into coming to the outskirts of the mountains and forests. During the dispute, he pushed him down to the foot of the mountain. People from the princess's palace and the Marquis's palace immediately took up torches and searched for people throughout the mountains and forests. Finally found Trieu Tien at the foot of the mountain. His eyes were closed tightly, his head was full of blood, and he could not see his heaving breaths. Princess Chan Truong was so weak that she fell to the ground in fear. Marquis quickly caught her. Looking closely, both of them were trembling all over. I gritted my teeth, my whole body stiffened and walked to Trieu Tien's side, reaching out to probe his nose for breath. Still breathing. Trieu Tien is still alive. I sat down on the ground, tears immediately falling, only to realize that I was so stressed that I forgot to even breathe.
