Chapter 11 — The day they married into the National Palace, I personally tore apart their dignity

"As a result, before I could act, the medal was already presented."

“If you act first, you will gain the initiative.”

“That's right, my uncle made the first move.”

"After my father was wronged, Ton Ba Vien wanted to help, but after investigating, he discovered that the document was submitted in secret, and this matter was directly related to royal money."

“He didn't dare get involved.”

“That's why we cut off contact after that?”

“It's not just because of that.”

Tham Nghien Chi's voice lowered a bit more.

“He said, after something happened to my father, someone once texted him a message, telling him not to continue meddling in this matter.”

“Who sent the message?”

“He refused to talk.”

"He only said one sentence. This matter is deeper than you imagine. I'm not the only one behind it."

After hearing those words, my heart suddenly sank. Chu Chinh Duc is not alone. Behind him there was still someone else.

“Does Ton Ba Vien say anything else?”

“He said, he was holding a letter in his hand.”

“That is the letter my father wrote to him ten days before the incident.”

"In the letter, there is an account recorded, which is the real number that my father personally investigated."

“That number differs from the number on the medal by thirty times.”

“That letter can prove that the numbers on the medal were fabricated.”

“Has he delivered that letter to you yet?”

“He said that letter was something to keep alive, it couldn't be taken out easily.”

“Unless I can guarantee that once I get that letter, something will definitely happen.”

“If it fails, even he will be implicated to the point of losing his life.”

I bowed my head and thought for a moment.

“What are his conditions?”

“He wants a promise.”

"After everything is successful, Ninh Quoc Cong's palace must ensure that his son has a future."

“What happened to his son?”

"This year, participating in the fall exam, he was only one rank behind so his name was not on the gold board. He wanted to find a way to add another spot."

I nodded slightly.

“This condition can be accepted.”

“Are you sure?”

“If your father's title can be inherited again, the dignity of Ninh Quoc Cong palace will also return.”

“At that time, just opening your mouth to say a word to help others is not difficult.”

“The most important thing now is to get that letter.”

“There is that letter, plus the handwriting comparison record of the secret knife that my father investigated, the two things put together are enough to nail your coffin.”

Tham Nghien Chi looked at me. The coldness in his eyes was still there. But inside there is something else. It's trust. Since the day I stepped into the palace, this was the first time he used those eyes to look at me.

“Tomorrow I will come to see Ton Ba Vien again.”

“No, please go later.”

“Just let him wait another day, don't let yourself seem too hasty.”

“If you are too impatient, he will immediately know that the cards in your hand are not enough.”

Ton Ba Vien's letter was finally obtained. Also on that day, Van Nuong came to find me. She stood in front of the courtyard gate, not telling anyone to come in and announce it, but doing it herself walk straight in. Mother Sun was about to step forward to stop me, but I just waved my hand lightly.

“Let her in.”

Van Nuong walked in front of me and stopped. Completely different from last time. Last time, her eyes were red, and her face was full of self-pity and resentment. This time, there was no expression on her face, her eyes were strangely calm, clean and clear.

“Sister, I want to say a few words to you.”

“Sit down.”

She doesn't sit.

“I have already investigated.”

“What can be investigated?”

“My half-body contract.”

The movement of holding the tea cup in my hand paused for a moment.

“How can you investigate?”

“After returning, I thought about the words you said to me last time for a long time.”

"I said, if the old lady truly considers me a daughter-in-law, then why doesn't she write my name in the family tree, why doesn't she change my last name?"

“I secretly searched the cupboard in the old lady's room.”

“Finally found that bust contract.”

“Thirty taels of silver, and the fingerprints of my uncle and sister.”

When she said those words, her voice was extremely calm. But we see it very clearly.
