Chapter 7 — Lady Tu Muu Thien Ha

Tham Tri Y squatted down to pick up the jade, "The things she once touched, I'm disgusted because they're dirty." Tieu Canh Hanh grabbed her wrist, "Sorry." Tham Tri Y looked up, "Let go." "Sorry." "I said, let go." Bui Than's voice came from the door, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, using force to force your daughter to apologize is not within the orders of the Eastern Palace." Tieu Canh Hanh turned around, "It's you again." Bui Than bowed, "Your Majesty, following the orders of the Minister of Justice, has come to invite Prime Minister Tham to investigate and compare an old case." On Nhuoc Duong's face changed, "What old case?" Bui Than looked at her, "The Ninh Vien Hau palace fire case ten years ago. Someone handed over new evidence." Tieu Canh Hanh asked, "Who delivered?" Bui Than did not immediately respond. Tham Tri Y wrapped the broken piece of jade in a handkerchief and stood up, "I gave it to you." The blood on On Nhuoc Duong's face receded by half, "Tham Tri Y, what do you mean?" Tham Tri Y looked at her, "You're afraid of the old manuscript, I'll look into the old fire. Anyway, there must be one that can shed light on the ghosts of your Wen family." Tieu Canh Hanh's grip on her wrist gradually loosened, "You investigate the On family?" "Yes." "You're crazy. The Wen family once contributed to the border." "The Shen family also contributed to Dai Luong. Aren't you still going to divorce?" Tieu Canh Hanh was speechless for a moment. Wen Nhuoc Duong suddenly knelt down, "Your Highness, Miss Tham is trying to force me to death." Tham Tri Y didn't even look at her, just turned to Bui Than and said, "Let's go." Tieu Canh Hanh blocked the door, "Without my permission, you are not allowed to go to the Penal Department." Tham Tri Y looked up, "His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince, not my master." "If you dare step out of this door, tomorrow I will ask for permission to cancel the engagement." Tham Tri Y put the broken piece of jade into his sleeve, "Your engagement letter has already been sent. What else do you want to cancel?" As she passed him, Tieu Canh Hanh suddenly whispered, "Tri Y, don't force me." Tham Tri Y's footsteps did not stop, "That sentence should have been told to you by me." In the file room of the Ministry of Justice, scrolls of the old fire case of the On family were piled half high on the table. Bui Than pushed the top book to Tham Tri Y, "In the fire at Ninh Vien Hau's palace ten years ago, the person who died in the fire was the Wen family's second room. On Nhuoc Duong was not originally in the capital, but after the fire, Ninh Vien Marquis took him back to the palace." Tham Tri Y flipped through the file, "Her parents died in the fire?" "It's written like that on the list." Ngan Hanh came over, "Why is it said that it's written like that on the list? Can a dead person still fake it?" Bui Than said, "People who were burned to ashes could only rely on personal identification to identify them. But that year the evidence was lost once." Tham Tri Y asked, "Who handled it?" Bui Than handed over a piece of paper, "Chu Hanh's father, Chu Dien Su." Ngan Hanh cursed, "It's the Chu family again." Bui Than looked at Tham Tri Y, "Why are you suddenly investigating the Wen family's old fire?" Tham Tri Y put the scented bag on the table, "Yesterday, On Nhuoc Duong said, the East Palace study was burned down. I remember ten years ago, the On family was also burned down." Bui Than opened the scented bag, inside was not spices, but a piece of charred wood. "This is?" "Picked up under the window of the East Palace study room. The burn is very fresh." Bui Than took the piece of wood, "You are grounded, how can you get to the East Palace?" Ngan Hanh immediately cleared her throat, "The slave family's young lady didn't go. It was the servant who went to water some old flowers. I just picked it up." Bui Than glanced at her, "Conveniently climb the wall?" Ngan Hanh puffed her chest, "The maid of the Tham family, aren't you quick with your hands?" Bui Than couldn't help but burst out laughing. Outside the door, someone banged on the table, "Bui Than, you brought the Tham family's daughter to the Criminal Department, do you want the Criminal Department to compete for her favor?" People

came the Minister of Justice Trieu Liem, who always relied on Marquis Ninh Vien. Bui Than stood up, "Lord Trieu, this officer is investigating the old fire case." Trieu Liem snorted coldly, "The old fire case has been closed. You look back at the old books, who instigated it? Prime Minister Tham, or Miss Tham?" Tham Tri Y said, "I instigated it." Trieu Liem looked at her with a disdainful tone, "Girls are not allowed to meddle in public affairs, doesn't Miss Tham know?" Tham Tri Y responded, "Daughters can also report crimes, don't you know, Lord Trieu?" Ngan Hanh immediately continued, "He may not know, he only knows how to look at Ninh Vien Hau's face." Trieu Liem slammed the table, "Brave!" Bui Than stepped forward, "If Mr. Trieu finds it unsatisfactory, you can go to the Minister to sue the official." Trieu Liem glared at Bui Than, "You are a new Head of Department, offending Ninh Vien Marquis for the Tham family's sake is not worthy." Bui Than said, "The lower official makes the case, regardless of whether it's worthy or not." Trieu Liem grabbed the case file, "This case is sealed, without the permission of the Minister and the Eastern Palace, no one is allowed to see it." Tam Tri Y raised his hand and clicked on a corner of the file, "What are you in a hurry for, Lord Trieu?" Trieu Liem tried to pull it, but couldn't pull it. Tham Tri Y said, "If the case is clean, exposing it to the sun for a little while won't ruin it."
