Chapter 4 — The Enemy's Daughter

"Bui Thanh Loan! Do you think you won?" I wiped the blood. "At least I didn't lose to you." He grabbed the book and pushed me aside. I looked at him angrily. "Let go!" He burst into crazy laughter again. "Bui Thanh Loan, you're too entangled." My heart sank, secretly knowing something was wrong. He was about to kill someone, at that moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the street outside. Ta Hoai Vien's face turned pale. My brother, Lam Chieu Lam, led the people of the Criminal Department to rush in and in just a few breaths controlled him. I breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, there is no second copy at all, only one letter. I bet the elder brother will come quickly enough, the previous words were all just to buy time. Luckily I won the bet. As soon as he was untied, Khuong Can immediately threw himself into my arms, crying without a sound. I lifted her little face. "Does it hurt?" She shook her head. "Mother, are you in pain?" I was stunned. He reached out to touch my face, his small hand shaking violently. "I saw him beating someone." I was still speechless. "My mother is not hurt." She cried even harder. "Liar." I hugged her tightly. "Okay, okay, I'm in pain, okay?" "From now on I won't eat chestnuts anymore." "What does it have to do with chestnuts?" "If you weren't greedy, you wouldn't have been caught." My heart was extremely bitter. "Man Man, You have to remember, the wrong person is the one who captured you!" "If you say that, can you still eat in the future?" "Of course, you can eat as much as you want." He immediately stopped crying and smiled. "Then I want the peeled kind." I was also made fun of by him. "You really know how to choose." The day Ta Hoai Vien was escorted away by the Criminal Department, the old lady cried in front of the palace door three times. The third time, I ordered someone to pour a bowl of cold water. She woke up quickly and scolded me for being an evil woman. I squatted in front of her. "Mother, save your energy." "The Marquis's accounts are still unfinished." 10 On the day of the trial, everyone who needed to come was present. Old man Ta family, head of the Criminal Department, my brother and old lady Ta. There was also Ta Hoai Vien who was escorted back. He knelt on the street, his clothes were wrinkled, and he looked like he had aged ten years. Seeing me, his eyes were filled with hatred. I sat down on the street, Khuong Can sat next to me, squeezing my arm. His palms were sweaty, he was still scared. "If you're scared, then go back." He stubbornly shook his head. "I want to hear." The old man was the first to question. "Even if Marquis is at fault, it's still the Ta family's business." "Miss Bui, you're making such a fuss to the Criminal Department, do you want to destroy the Ta family?" I laughed mockingly. "Is it my fault that the Ta family is destroyed?" My brother slammed the notebook on the table. "Smuggling food to the court, appropriating money from the court." Trade households, set up secret warehouses." "Is this called family matters?" The clan elders obediently kept their mouths shut. The old lady cried. "Hoai Vien is a unique lineage of the Marquis!" "It can't happen!" I glanced at her. "Khuong Can is also the daughter of the Ta family." "What is a bastard child!" Ta Hoai Vien suddenly looked at Khuong Can. "Man Man." His voice softened. "Father didn't treat me well before, but father is still my biological father, I really want to look at father indifferently. Did you die?" Just as I was about to speak, Khuong Can stood up first. "You are not my father." Ta Hoai Vien widened his eyes. "What do you say?" "When my mother died, you did not come to see her." "When I was poisoned, you did not know." "You tied me, beat me, gagged me." "You also beat my mother, I saw it all." The voice was young but resonated strongly, everything. Everyone on the road heard clearly. "My father would not be like that."

half a seal in the bag. "Mother said, if anyone wants to steal the cloth tiger, give this to her mother." I was stunned, even I didn't know about this. He gave the seal to my brother, my brother took it, his face immediately changed. That's the seal of the secret warehouse. With it, Ta Hoai Vien cannot deny it anymore. Ta Hoai Vien rushed forward to steal it, but was pinned to the ground by the worm. He screamed wildly: "I am your biological father! How dare you harm me?" Khuong Can backed away in fear. I stood up and blocked him behind me. The criminal department immediately decided the sentence right at the public hall, Ta Hoai Vien was stripped of his title, sent to prison, and the Marquis's residence was sealed the same day. The elders took turns pretending to be deaf and mute. After hearing this, the old lady immediately fell limp. When returning to the hospital, Khuong Can always bowed his head. I asked him: "Do you regret it?" At first he shook his head, then walked a few steps and asked: "Dear mother, do we no longer have a house?" 11 I squatted down. "If we don't have a residence, we can buy it back." "If we don't have relatives, we don't have a home."
