Chapter 19 — On the Big Wedding Night, the Husband Hides Pregnant Bach Nguyet Quang in the Dowry Chest

Dong Noan burned very quickly. It was like someone had already filled the oil in advance. When I ran in, the outside of the hospital was already in chaos. Kinh Trieu Palace's staff blocked the front door. The female official of Phuong Nghi palace had pale eyes. Bui Tu seemed crazy and rushed inside with all his might.

“Get away!”

“She's still inside!”

The bandits risked their lives to stop him.

“Master Marquis, you have a phoenix edict on you, you are not allowed to meet the Lieu family alone!”

Bui Tu roared.

“She's about to be burned to death!”

I look at the sea of fire before my eyes. Tongues of fire licked through the window paper. Wooden beams crackled and burned. Lieu Phu Am's cry echoed from inside.

“Brother Tu, save me!”

Bui Tu's eyes were bloodshot and he suddenly threw away the filth. I said coldly:

“Stop him.”

Butler Chu gritted his teeth and rushed forward. Bui Tu turned his head and glared at me.

“Tham Thanh Vu, do you want to stand by and watch her die?”

I look at him.

“If she dies here, tomorrow it will be spread throughout the capital that…”

“I forced the pregnant woman to death.”

“She cannot die.”

“But the person who saved her…”

“It can't be you.”

Bui Tu was stunned. I turned to look at the female official of Phuong Nghi Palace.

“Auntie, please send someone to save you.”

The female official immediately understood.

“Where are you, save people.”

The two palace maids following Phuong Nghi palace put on wet blankets and rushed straight inside. Kinh Trieu Phu's translator also followed suit and rushed in. Not long after. Lieu Phu Am was carried out. Her face was blackened by smoke. Hair is messy. In my heart, I was still holding a wooden box tightly. Bui Tu immediately tried to step forward. The female officer raised her hand to block his face.

“Master Marquis, phoenix example.”

Bui Tu's footsteps immediately stopped. As soon as Lieu Phu Am saw him, she burst into tears.

“Brother Tu, someone wants to kill me!”

“Someone threw kerosene out the window!”

“They want to exterminate!”

I walked in front of her.

“Who wants to destroy your mouth?”

Liu Phu Am's eyes suddenly flashed.

“I... I can't see clearly.”

“Can't see clearly.”

"But I know I want to kill my mouth."

I stared at the wooden box in her lap.

“Miss Willow just escaped the sea of fire…”

"But still don't forget to bring your things."

“What's in there?”

Lieu Phu Am hugged even tighter.

“It's my personal thing.”

“Private things?”

“Now you are the one being placed under surveillance by Kinh Trieu Palace.”

“Fire is coming from your own room again.”

“What you brought out from the fire…”

“Of course we have to check.”

Lieu Phu Am was so flustered that her face turned pale.

"Impossible!"

Bui Tu also frowned.

“Tham Thanh Vu, don't be too much.”

I look at him.

“Don't you want to know who started the fire?”

“Or... afraid of what's in this box?”

Bui Tu was silent. The female official walked up directly.

“Get it here.”

Lieu Phu Am hugged tightly and did not let go. Two palace maids held her hands tightly and forcefully took the wooden box away. The box was locked. I looked at Butler Chu. Butler Chu brought a small hammer, knocked a few times and broke the lock. The lid of the box just opened. Inside was a stack of checks. Some Dong Chau brooches. The same half-scorched brocade scarf. I held up the stack of checks first. They are all banknotes of the exchange brand. A total of three thousand taels. Mr. Trieu only took one look and said:

“Reconciled with the missing three thousand taels in my books Thua An alley.”

Lieu Phu Am's face was as white as a sheet of paper. I picked up the brocade scarf again. The edge of the towel was burned black. But in the middle there is still half an embroidered pattern left. An apricot branch. Tay Uyen apricot forest. My heart suddenly sank. The female official also saw it. His eyes immediately changed. She reached out to take it. I took a step faster and placed the towel in her hand.

“This is evidence found in the fire.”

“Please keep it.”

The female official looked at me. Say nothing. Just quietly put the scarf in your sleeve. Bui Tu did not understand anything at all. He just stared at Lieu Phu Am.

“What is this pile of checks?”

Lieu Phu Am cried and shook her head.

“I don't know.”

"It was Huong Lan who put it in."

“It's all Huong Lan!”

Huong Lan was detained and monitored by Kinh Trieu Palace. Yet she still used Huong Lan as a shield. I squatted down and felt the bottom of the box. There is a bump on the bottom board. I used the tip of the brooch to gently pry. The secret compartment opens. From inside fell a small piece of paper. Half burned. Only a few lines of text remain.

“After giving birth…”

“Put in…”

“According to the old rules…”

In the last signature line, only one word remains. The eunuch is in charge of purchasing in the inner court. Finally, Bui Tu's face changed. He immediately raised his hand to grab it. We take a step back. Thanh Dai immediately blocked in front of him. The female official of Phuong Nghi Palace said coldly:

“Master, this is evidence.”

Bui Tu's chest rose and fell violently. Lieu Phu Am was completely panicked. She rushed forward and grabbed the piece of paper.

“Give it back to me!”

“Not mine!”

“Not mine!”
