Chapter 11 — On the Wedding Night, I Personally Gave the Wedding Bed to My Sister

17I returned to the Prime Minister's palace, which I had been away from for a long time. My father arranged a sophisticated hospital for me, and also sent many servants to serve me. He thought that I was still his daughter despite his manipulation as before. He even began to choose a new marriage partner for me. "Thanh Nguyet, this time I saw the wrong person. Don't worry, I will definitely find you a husband who is a thousand times better than Tieu Canh Duc." I knelt down and sat opposite him, pouring tea for him, with a gentle and obedient smile on my face. "Let me take charge of everything." Father is very satisfied with my attitude. You don't know that the power you are always proud of, all the things you painstakingly seek, will become steps for my revenge. The Tieu family collapsed, leaving many positions vacant in the court. His father's faction and Vuong Ngu Su's faction fought over those positions to the point where they could not win or lose. The situation in the capital also became a turbulent, unpredictable change. As for me, I take advantage of this time to quietly do my own thing. I used the bourgeois money brought from the General's palace to open a small makeup shop outside. That store is both my revenge base and a place to help me accumulate money and gather information. I need money. Also need people. I don't trust anyone anymore. I only believe in the power that is in my own hands. That day, while I was sitting in the store comparing books, an uninvited guest pushed open the door and walked in. It's Murong Triet. He was still wearing that mystical robe, with no expression on his face. He walked in front of me, placed a small porcelain vase on the table. "This is the solution of 'Trien Mien Tan'." My pupils suddenly shrank. "What do you mean?" "Nothing." He calmly replied. "Since you were able to get evidence of Tieu Canh Duc's crime, then you should also be able to get the map of his military layout. I want that map, but also This solution is the exchange object." I looked at him, my heart was filled with waves of anger. Indeed. He knows everything. He knows I took evidence of the crime. Know that I have poisoned Tieu Canh Duc. Even. He even has the solution. This person... Too scary. "On what basis does Marquis think that I have a military defense map?" I asked. "Because..." His eyes were as sharp as a dagger's blade. "You are not the type of woman who is willing to just be a widow." "Toppling the Tieu family is not enough to satisfy your ambition." "Tham Thanh Nguyet." "Am I right?" I remained silent. In front of Murong Triet, all my disguises seemed to have no more room to hide. "Why should I trust the Marquis?" I asked. "You may not believe it." He turned around to leave. "But next time, your tricks should be a little more discreet." "The fake Taoist in Ghost Thi." "With the bandits at Tong Chau harbor." "The tail still hasn't been cleaned up." My heart. Immediately sank to the bottom of the abyss. Even this matter... He has already investigated. "Stop!" I called out to him. "The military defense map can be given to Marquis." "But Marquis must also agree to one condition."
