Chapter 17 — He Forced Me To Sign A Separation, Unexpectedly I Have Been Waiting For This Day For A Long Time

The strong man was speechless when I questioned him, hesitating. I'm too lazy to say much to him.

“Thanh Mai, report to the official.”

"No need to report to Thuan Thien Palace, go straight to Kinh Trieu Doan."

"If Thuan Thien Phu Doan Trieu Duc Xuong has pretended to be deaf and mute, then I will let someone else take charge."

Kinh Trieu Doan and Thuan Thien Phu Doan have always been at odds, this is a merit brought to the door. When the strong man saw that I did not follow their plans, his expression immediately changed.

“You dare.”

“Why don't I dare?”

"Every piece of lychee in this store has its own symbol. My Tham family's items have never had any mistakes."

"Today you guys came to cause trouble, who is the person behind the orders? If I tell you now, maybe I can still leave you a way to live."

The strong man's eyes continuously wavered, obviously scared. The crowd behind him began to stir. At that moment, from not far away came a series of neat footsteps. Kinh Trieu Doan led a team of soldiers and horses and rushed over. He looked at the scene of destruction on the ground, his face as gloomy as water.

“Who dares to cause trouble here?”

I took a step forward, clasped my hands and bowed to Kinh Trieu Doan.

“Sir, these people intentionally destroyed people's property, falsely accused them of harm, I respectfully request that you investigate thoroughly.”

Kinh Trieu Doan looked at me. Then he looked back at the other group of thugs.

“Brought back, serious interrogation.”

The thugs immediately panicked. Wanting to turn around and run away. But he was quickly controlled by Kinh Trieu Doan's people. I stand in the middle of the snow. Quietly watching them being dragged away. Second prince. This is just the first game. You have underestimated me Tham Cam Thu too much. After the hoodlums were arrested and put in prison, it wasn't long before they confessed everything. The mastermind behind it, as they revealed, was indeed a manager of the Second Prince's palace. That news, like a wind, quickly spread throughout the capital. The second prince ordered a group of thugs to oppress merchants. This was a huge scandal. At the royal court, the Second Prince's harp played like snowflakes, covering the Emperor's throne. I sat in the elegant room of the tea house, listening to the chatter outside. Thanh Mai is a bit worried.

“Miss, this time completely offending the Second Prince, isn't it too dangerous?”

I shook my head.

“On this chessboard, there has never been a way out.”

“He wanted to touch me.”

“Then we have to make him feel pain first.”

“This time, I'm afraid the Second Prince will be detained.”

Less than three days. News had spread in the palace that the Second Prince was reprimanded by the Emperor for not being strict with his subordinates and was banned from the palace and closed for self-criticism. For him. This is a huge blow. The news also came from the Third Prince's side. He invited me to meet one more time. It's in a private villa. The third prince looked at me. There was more solemnity in his eyes.

“Miss Shen, your tricks are very high.”

"Using the strength of a merchant, to overthrow the Prince's manager, in this capital, you are the first."

I slightly lowered my eyes. Calm tone.

“Your Highness is too complimentary.”

“I was just protecting myself.”

The third prince smiled. Pour me tea.

“Protect yourself.”

“But the way the lady protected herself, she almost punctured her entire belly God."

"Right now the Second Prince is under detention, the power in the court has left a gap, and many people are watching."

I look at him.

“Your Highness came to me, I'm afraid it wasn't just to compliment me.”

The third prince withdrew his smile. His expression became serious.

“Not wrong.”

“The second prince has been detained.”

“But the force behind him is still extremely powerful.”

“He will not let go easily.”

“You need a stronger ally.”

We understand clearly in our hearts. He is extending an olive branch towards us. Tham family's financial resources. Plus the political background of the Third Prince. It is truly a win-win situation.

“What do you want, Your Highness?”

The third prince spoke frankly without any prevarication.

“I want the position of Crown Prince.”

“But I will absolutely not use despicable means like the Second Prince.”

“I need the support of the Tham family.”

“It's not just about money.”

“But also the hearts of the people in the capital.”

"The reputation of the Tham family in the hearts of the people."

“Better than anyone.”

I was silent for a moment.

“I can support you.”

“But I have conditions.”

“You just say it.”

"First, no matter who ascends the throne in the future, the Tham family will always be the Tham family and will not participate in the dynasties."
