Chapter 13
Chapter 13 — Kieu Hoa went to the wrong door, I don't want to go back
Co Hoai Nghien replied:
“On the closet door in my father's study.”
The whole person suddenly stiffened. Why is my mother's key related to Co Hoai Nghien's father? The stepmother suddenly spoke in a high-pitched voice:
“Your Majesty, I remember.”
Everyone looked towards her. She knelt on the ground, her voice trembling but full of enthusiasm.
“In the past, my sister really had an affair with the Co family.”
"I'm afraid this key is not something that belongs to the Tham family, but is something she secretly kept from the Co family."
Angry parents shouted:
“Shut up!”
The stepmother cried and said:
“Old master, my father does not dare to raise troops.”
“Before she passed away, she hid a wooden box in Duong Ninh's room.”
"My father searched for many years but still couldn't find it. It turns out the key was on Duong Ninh."
I looked at her coldly.
“Mother, why are you looking for that wooden box?”
The model stopped. The angel also asked:
“That's right, why is Mrs. Tham looking for it?”
Her lips trembled.
"Father... I'm afraid my sister's relics will be lost."
I burst out laughing.
"That's why mother ordered someone to rummage through my trunk and to pry up the floor tiles in my room, just because I was afraid that my relics would be lost?"
Stepmother's face suddenly changed dramatically. Her father suddenly turned his head to look at her. I don't look at you two anymore, just look towards the Son of Heaven.
“Your Majesty, I wish to hand over this key.”
“But the goddess has one request.”
The Emperor said: I bowed and bowed my head.
“Whatever this key opens, I beg Your Majesty to allow me to see with my own eyes.”
There was silence in the palace for a long time. The angel slowly turned the bronze key in his hand.
“Aren't you afraid you'll see your mother's sins?”
I raised my head.
“The goddess is afraid.”
“But if it is truly a crime, there must be real evidence to determine it.”
"You can't just rely on the mouth of a living person to bury the deceased in the mud."
Co Hoai Nghien suddenly looked at me. Those eyes were very deep, like a chess piece silently falling in the middle of the night. The angel smiled slightly. He placed the key back in the throne.
“Early tomorrow morning, open the underground cabinet in the Co family's old mansion.”
“Tham Duong Ninh is coming along.”
The stepmother suddenly raised her head.
“Your Majesty, it is impossible.”
The angel's eyes suddenly turned cold.
“Why not?”
The model stiffened in place. At that moment, someone outside the palace rushed in to report.
"Informing Your Majesty, there was a fire at the Co family's old mansion."
The news that the Co family's great-grandfather was on fire was transmitted to the heavenly palace at the same time that the torches in the palace were burning quietly. The bronze key in the young angel's hand stopped in mid-air. The stepmother knelt on the ground, her shoulders slightly relaxed to the point of being almost imperceptible. I see. Co Hoai Nghien also saw it. He looked up at the person who had just entered the palace.
“Where did the fire come from?”
The inner servant quickly replied:
"Let me tell you, sir, it's the old house's study in the Eastern courtyard."
My heart suddenly sank. The angel laughed coldly.
“You really know how to choose a place to burn.”
Co Hoai Nghien was still kneeling in the middle of the palace, his spine straight as before.
“I would like to leave the palace immediately.”
The Heavenly Prince placed the bronze key back in the throne.
“I will go with you.”
The expressions of everyone in the palace changed at the same time. The inner servant quickly said:
“Your Majesty, it's night It's late at night, the fire is urgent, the house is crowded with people, it's ten thousand times impossible."
The angel replied calmly:
“Someone tried to set a fire before I opened the underground cabinet. If I don't go, won't I disappoint him?
Co Hoai Nghien frowned slightly.
“Your Majesty should not take risks.”
The angel looked at him.
“Teacher, your father's great-grandfather's house has burned down.”
“If I just sit in the palace waiting for someone to sing, I'm afraid that by tomorrow, what is presented before me will only be a pile of ashes.”
Co Hoai Nghien did not advise further. Luc Thua Uyen took a step forward.
“God bless you.”
The angel glanced at him.
"Today, the Major General has been wearing a red robe and has been running up and down until now, and it's been very difficult."
Luc Thua Uyen bowed his head.
"I don't have to work hard, I just hope your Majesty will allow me to investigate this matter clearly."
The angel nodded. Having finished speaking, the person looked towards me again.
“Tham Duong Ninh, you go too.”
Father immediately raised his head.
“Your Majesty, the fire is dangerous late at night, this young lady's body is weak, I'm afraid…”
"Lord Shen just said that he couldn't teach his child, but now he remembers that her body is weak?"
His father's face turned pale. I bowed and said:
“Goddess wishes to go.”
The stepmother suddenly raised her head, her voice filled with tension.
"Your Majesty, after all, Duong Ninh is a noble woman. In the middle of the night, she left with the group. If word gets out, I'm afraid it will ruin her reputation."
I smiled softly.
“Mother, did you remember my name until today?”
That one sentence made her speechless. The angel also laughed.
“Madam Shen, please rest assured.”
“After today, there are still many stories that need to be spread throughout the capital. The fact that Tham Duong Ninh came to the old house in the middle of the night may not be ranked first."
The stepmother did not dare to say any more.
