Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — She stole the engagement, stole the grace that saved my life, but could not steal the person who heard my heart
"Your Majesty, rest assured, within three meters."
Only then did he let go. I looked at the flickering candlelight in front of me and suddenly wanted to laugh. At first, I just arbitrarily made up a transportation method. Unexpectedly, now it's like I'm stuck in there myself. The next morning, the Vuong Palace discovered that the person who spread the news was an old maid brought by the Tham family. She confessed that Tham Tri Y sent her to spread the word that she had a demon destiny from birth, and could rely on the destiny of the Royal Family to change her luck in life. As soon as the news spread, the nobles in the capital immediately paid attention to me. Someone wants to see the Regent's joke. There are also people who want to take advantage of us to plot things. The Queen Mother's banquet will also take place in three days. When the invitation was brought to the Royal Palace, Luc Thoi Dien was taking medicine. He just glanced at it and then conveniently tossed it to me.
“Are you going?”
I opened the invitation card. My name is clearly written above. Tham Thu Van. I burst out laughing.
“It seems that you are not inviting the Royal Family, but inviting me.”
【Hong Mon Yen is here.】 【Tham Tri Y will definitely come too. She wants to completely hold her position as a life-saving benefactor in front of the nobles.】 【There's also To Kien Bach. Now I'm afraid he really wants to know the truth about that jade pendant.] Luc Thoi Dien put down the medicine bowl. I closed the invitation. He looked at me. The smile on my face also faded a bit.
“But I'm even more afraid of having to hide for the rest of my life.”
Luc Thoi Dien was silent for a moment then asked:
“What do you want to do?”
I look at him.
“Your Majesty, can you lend me something?”
“Your blood-stained clothes three years ago.”
Luc Thoi Dien slightly narrowed his eyes.
“Used for what?”
I curled my lips and smiled.
“Let the robber put himself on the stage.”
On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, outside the palace gate, carriages and carriages were as crowded as clouds. I dress very simply and elegantly. Tham Tri Y appeared again in a gorgeous outfit, still wearing that white jade piece on her waist. When she saw me, a trace of pride flashed in her eyes.
“Eldest sister is also here.”
I nodded:
“I came to see what else you could come up with today.”
Her face changed slightly. To Kien Bach walked behind her, but this time, unlike before, he immediately opened his mouth and scolded me. His eyes stopped on me, extremely complicated. I look at him.
“Is there something wrong with Master To?”
That way of addressing him was like stabbing him.
“What happened in the books that day… I didn't know.”
Maybe he didn't expect my reaction to be so cold.
“Don't you believe it?”
I laughed:
"Is it important to believe it or not? Anyway, the money has already been taken."
To Kien Bach immediately choked. Tham Tri Y gently spoke:
"Eldest sister, why do you have to say something like that? Young Master Su has also sincerely treated you well before."
I glanced at her.
"If you like him, just take him away. There's no need to always bring him out and make me feel disgusted."
To Kien Bach's face immediately turned pale. But in Tham Tri Y's eyes, there was a hint of pleasure. She wished she could let me publicly tear To Kien Bach's face in front of everyone. So when she pretends to be weak later, it will highlight my aggressiveness in forcing people. Unfortunately, I'm not here to compete today male. I come to reclaim the name that belongs to me. After entering the party, someone suddenly mentioned the old incident in Tay Son three years ago.
“I heard that Miss Tham once saved the Regent?”
Tham Tri Y bowed her head shyly:
“Just helping out, not worth mentioning.”
Immediately someone spoke up and praised her for her good fortune.
"It's no wonder why, although the Royal Family has been cold towards outsiders for all these years, they have never denied this kindness before."
I sat next to him, slowly drinking tea. Luc Thoi Dien sat in the front position, from beginning to end he did not look at Tham Tri Y once. Tham Tri Y waited for a long time but still did not receive his reaction, so she could only continue speaking herself.
"That rainy night, the Royal Family was seriously injured. Although I was very scared, I could not see death without saving him."
