Chapter 4 — She stole the engagement, stole the grace that saved my life, but could not steal the person who heard my heart

As soon as the words ended, Luc Thoi Dien walked in from outside. I raised my head:

“King?”

“This king will go with you.”

I immediately shook my head:

“Don't dare bother the Royal Family.”

【If he leaves, won't the Tham family directly swallow me alive?】 【Moreover, I haven't gotten my dowry back yet.】 Luc Thoi Dien suddenly stopped.

“The dowry records are at the Tham family?”

I immediately shut my mouth. He said softly:

“If you want to get something today, just take it back once and for all.”

I look at him. He's not deciding for me. He's giving us a door. Whether we enter or not is our choice. I asked softly:

“What if they don't accept it?”

Luc Thoi Dien said:

"If you want to win, this king will have your back. If you want to leave, this king will pave the way for you."

I squeezed the tea cup in my hand, my palm gradually became hot. True favoritism is never weaving flowers on brocade, but when ten thousand people look down on you, there are still people willing to stand by your side. But I don't dare believe it. In this world, the people who once gave us a good face will eventually take it all back. I smiled softly:

"Then I would like to borrow the Royal Family's power for once."

Luc Thoi Dien looked at me.

“Not borrowed.”

“It's for you.”

The Tham family's birthday party was extremely exciting. When I arrived, the doorkeeper saw the royal carriage behind me and his expression immediately changed. If I were the only one returning, I'm afraid he would let me go out the side door. However, after Luc Thoi Dien stepped down from the carriage, the main door of the Tham family immediately opened faster than anyone. Father Shen brought Tham Tri Y to welcome him. To Kien Bach was also present. When he saw me standing next to Luc Thoi Dien, his eyebrows immediately furrowed. Tham Tri Y was the first to speak:

"Eldest sister, you didn't return to the palace, father was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night. How can you be so arbitrary?"

I look at her.

"The jade pendant on my sister's waist, is it comfortable to wear?"

The smile on her face immediately stiffened. To Kien Bach quickly blocked her face.

“Tham Thu Van, when you returned, did you find trouble with Tri Y?”

I didn't pay attention to him, just lifted my feet and walked inside. Father Shen tried to suppress his anger:

"Thu Van, today is your great-grandmother's birthday party, don't cause trouble."

I stop walking.

“Don't worry father, I'm not here today to cause trouble.”

I looked towards the birthday gifts displayed in the hall. Tham Tri Y gave a painting of Bach Tho Do with extremely delicate embroidery. Everyone around is constantly praising you.

“The second lady is truly skillful.”

"Unlike some people, as soon as they climb to the Royal Palace, they forget their roots."

I walked to the table, picked up the painting and took a look. Tham Tri Y gently said:

“If elder sister likes it, I will also embroider one for you another day.”

I burst out laughing.

“My sister's skills are really fast.”

Her eyes wavered slightly.

“Just put a little more thought into it.”

I raised my hand and turned over the back of the embroidery. In the bottom corner there was an extremely small blood stain. I pointed to that place and asked:

“Did my sister hurt her hand while embroidering?”

Tham Tri Y paused: I nodded:

"But the color of this blood has darkened, at least from three months ago. That's not what I just said Was this painting finished last night?"

The hall immediately rang out the sound of chatter. Tham Tri Y's face changed slightly, but soon her eyes turned red.

“Do you have to be like that, elder sister? I was just afraid that my grandmother would be disappointed, so I said this was a recent embroidery. Actually, I've been preparing since early."

To Kien Bach said coldly:

“It's just a birthday gift, do you have to think so meticulously?”

I don't look at him. I put the embroidery back in its place, then turned around to look at Father Tham.

"So the dowry records my mother left me are just some old things. Why won't my father return them to me?"

Father Shen's face immediately darkened.

"Today is the birthday party, why are you mentioning these things?"
