Chapter 9 — On the Wedding Night, I Personally Gave the Wedding Bed to My Sister

"My daughter understands. Father is responsible for everything." I replied respectfully. Parents left satisfied. I stood up and looked at my own calm face in the bronze mirror. Tieu Canh Duc is about to die. The General's Palace is almost finished. But that's... Still not enough. What I want is for everyone who has hurt me, who has been indifferent to me... to pay the price. Including... My father. He still sits on that high and lofty position. 14 Half a month later. On a rainy and windy night. Tieu Canh Duc breathed his last. When it was over, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something extremely scary. That face was withered and yellow. It really looks exactly like a piece of dried tangerine peel. The mother threw herself on top of him, crying until her heart was torn apart. I also shed tears of "pain". The General's palace was filled with white flags. I put on white mourning clothes and took the position of a widow to take care of his funeral. The sacred hall has just been built. The officials in the capital all came one after another to pay their respects. Everyone praised me for not being chaotic when faced with changes, my funeral was arranged in an orderly manner, truly the model of a woman. Among those people. I see someone unexpected. Tran Bac Marquis Murong Triet. He is Tieu Canh Duc's arch-rival on the battlefield. The two have always been like fire and water. Today... He actually came? Murong Triet wears a mysterious robe, has a tall and straight body, bright eyebrows and eyes, and a cold temperament. He didn't look at anyone. Just go straight to Tieu Canh Duc's spiritual throne and light a stick of incense. Afterward. He turned around and looked towards me. Those eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. It seems like he can see through people's hearts. "Mrs. Shen, please hold back your sadness." His voice was low, not a trace of emotion could be heard. "Thank you, Marquis." I bowed my head slightly, respectfully. But he didn't leave. On the contrary, he took another step and lowered his voice. "General Tieu's death was not like death, but like... poisoning." My heart suddenly jumped. But his face still did not reveal even a single trace of flaw. "Master Marquis is exaggerating. The husband's illness was personally diagnosed by Truong Thai, a doctor in the palace. It was caused by overwork, the oil ran out, the light went out." "Really?" Mo Dung Triet slightly raised his lips, revealing a sarcastic smile. "I see..." "It's like I've been hit by a strange poison of the Western Regions, called 'Tien Mien Tan'."My breath. In that moment it almost stopped. He... How did he know that "Trien Mien Tan" is extremely rare. Even I only accidentally read it in a copy of the Western Region. Murong Triet... What kind of person is he? I forced myself to calm down." Marquis was joking. I have never heard of a thing called 'Trien Mien Tan'. My husband has been fighting all his life, perhaps he has offended someone. If Marquis has a clue, why not report it to the government. "I swept everything away without a trace. Murong Triet looked at me deeply. That look. It contains so many meanings." Mrs. Shen said it right. "He didn't say anything more. Turn around and leave the hall. I looked at his back. My back was covered in cold sweat. This Murong Triet... is a huge variable. I have to... Be more careful. 15 Just after Tieu Canh Duc's funeral was arranged, his mother also fell seriously ill, lying on the bed and unable to get up. The entire burden of the General's palace falls on my shoulders alone. We began to inventory property and records in the government. If you don't look it up, that's it. Just looking at it makes people scared. Over the past years, Tieu Canh Duc relied on military achievements and did many illegal embezzlements behind his back. Seize military fields. Embezzlement of military salaries. Len confessed

mine. Just one of those crimes is enough for the entire government to confiscate their property and exterminate the entire clan. Related evidence, books, land deeds... were all hidden by him in a secret room. The key to that secret room. In my previous life, I accidentally saw it. He hid it in the secret compartment of an inkstone. We can easily get everything. Look at the evidence that is enough to overthrow the General's palace.
