Chapter 8 — Kien Vi

Later, after protecting her forever, the manager of the revenue department finally brought in the deficit accounts. Ta Truong Tu angrily threw the tea cup to the ground. "Who let her touch the treasury?" Ta Van Hanh's eyes turned red. "I used to use it like that before, brother never blamed me." That one sentence... Immediately made Ta Truong Tu speechless. Before, every time she took money from the treasury... I filled it in. She used the name of Ninh Vuong Palace to receive the ceremony... It was all me who returned the favor on her behalf. She went beyond etiquette when she went out... It was also me who, on behalf of the Royal Palace, sent apologizing cards everywhere. Now we are no longer there. All the holes... Are revealed one by one. … The day the Tieu family came to pick up the bride. The weather is extremely beautiful. Tieu Kien Vi rode horseback to Tham residence. He is not like Ta Truong Tu, creating a marriage that makes the whole capital admire. It also did not cause a stir among people in the scriptures. He just did the right thing. Get off the horse. Personally pick me up on the palanquin. Before the red veil was dropped... I saw his hand extended. Elongated. Clean. Finger joints are clear. He didn't touch me. Just quietly hold your hand in mid-air. Waiting for me to take it willingly. I put my hand on it. His palm was a bit cold. But extremely sturdy. … Wedding night. Tieu Kien Vi gently removed each hairpin on my head. Each tree... is carefully placed back in the box. When he saw the red mark on his sideburns from the jewelry... He stood up to get a box of ointment. I was stunned. "Does Lord Tieu also know about this?" He opened the medicine box. "The family often has headaches." "The palace is always prepared." His fingertip dipped a little medicine. But he didn't immediately touch me. "Is that okay?" I looked at him. In my previous life... Ta Truong Tu never asked me. Whatever he says... It will be like that. I nodded slightly. Tieu Kien Vi carefully applied the ointment to me. Extremely gentle movements. In the bronze mirror... I see myself in a daze. He withdrew his hand. "Tham Phu Ninh." I looked at him. It's very rare for him to call me by my full name. "The Tieu family has many rules." He said slowly. "But there are no rules that force the wife to cover up bad things for others." The bridge of my nose suddenly stung. He said again: "If you are willing..." "Tomorrow I will go with you to the bookstore." I raised my head. "Do you know about the bookstore?" "The bookstore was left by your mother." "Recently you have been organizing the books." He paused for a moment. "I asked my father-in-law." I looked at him. He is not saying that women should rest in peace in the backyard. Nor does it say that I already have a husband. He just said: "What you want to do..." "Just keep doing it."Out the window. The wind gently shook the light bulb. I bowed my head and smiled, "Okay."… Three months after we got married. Ninh Vuong Palace had a major disaster. Ta Van Hanh arbitrarily touched military provisions. Actually... Maybe she herself didn't know it was military food. She only knew that the royal palace's treasury was in deficit. The two mamas of the sect were monitoring her every day. Even Ta Truong Tu visited her hospital less and less. So... She wants to throw a big party. I want to let the ladies in the capital know that... Even though she's just Trac Phi... She's still the person Ta Truong Tu loves the most. There is not enough silver left in the treasury. She then preserved the past and opened another book. That notebook... I also discovered it in my previous life. At that time, Ta Truong Tu was in charge of military affairs. The books of the Royal Palace are mixed with public funds. I stayed awake for three nights. Just filled the gap. I had to ask my father to adjust the books... Just to not let the matter get exposed. However... Ta Truong Tu only said one sentence: "The princess has worked hard." And Ta Van Hanh wore a newly crafted gold brooch,

smiled and thanked me. "The housekeeper is very good." In this life... I will no longer patch those holes for them. When the Royal Palace was checking the books, Tieu Kien Vi was also present. Public funds were transferred to the treasury of Ninh Vuong Palace. Then it was released from the treasury to buy pearl curtains, spices and set up a stage for Ta Van Hanh's banquet. Evidence is presented directly to the court. Ta Truong Tu knelt in the middle of the main hall, his face ashen. Ta Van Hanh cried and said he didn't know. She took out old letters, in which Ta Truong Tu had implicitly allowed her to freely use the treasury of the Vuong Palace. "Brother once said..." "Ninh Vuong Palace is my home." "Brother also said..." "You can use anything you want." Ta Truong Tu suddenly turned his head. "Ta Van Hanh!" She was startled and trembled. But I still held on tightly to those letters. "Brother..." "I just did as you said." It was those letters... that pulled Ta Truong Tu completely into the water. The Emperor was furious. Ninh Vuong was demoted to the position of County King, his military power was no longer there, and he was ordered to close the palace for house arrest. Ta Van Hanh was also confined to the Royal Palace and was not allowed to step out of the courtyard. The car she loved the most was dismantled. All phoenixes and ceremonial vestments that exceeded the rites were sealed. When the maids of the sect led someone to inventory the jewelry in her room, they discovered that many of the items were crafted according to the regulations reserved for Princess Than. There was a phoenix brooch in there... It was the brooch she secretly wore at the spring viewing party. After hearing that news... For the first time, Ta Truong Tu did not speak up to defend her. He just ordered someone to lock her hospital gate. Ta Van Hanh cried all night in the hospital. The next morning...
