Chapter 12 — The day I was left behind in the abandoned temple, the Princess kicked in the door to welcome me home

After a moment. I narrowed my eyes slightly. Bach Chi is truly an orphan. But she was not unintentionally adopted by my father. But someone else intentionally brought him to his side. The person who brought her here. Is Khang District Vuong. My father's distant cousin. It is also a force that cannot be underestimated in the current court. Princess Khang District. Again, the family name is Lieu. She is Lieu Quy Phi's younger sister. The person who poisoned my mother at the inauguration banquet that year. All the clues. In that moment. Finally connected into a complete straight line. A chess piece placed by the enemy next to my father. Her purpose. I'm afraid it's not simply aimed at some of the Lam family's assets. Also looking for what my mother left behind. Or to be more precise. They are afraid of what their mother left behind.

“Is there any movement at King Khang District's residence recently?”

I raised my head and asked.

“Very quiet.”

Giang Van replied.

“My subordinates have already sent someone to monitor them.”

Giang Van replied:

"Since Young Master was welcomed into the Huyen Giap Army, Khang District Vuong's residence has been closed and refuses to receive visitors."

“Until now.”

“There hasn't been any movement yet.”

Too quiet. Unusually quiet. Like a calm lake before a hurricane emerges. Like the last calm before the storm.

“Continue to monitor.”

We close the file. Coldly advised. Giang Van bowed her head and accepted the order. Right at that moment. Suddenly there was the sound of rapid footsteps outside. Immediately after that came the sound of an emergency announcement.

“Young master!”

“Something happened to Vinh An Marquis Palace!”

The person reporting the news almost rushed straight into the main hall. His forehead was full of cold sweat. Rapid breathing.

“Tham Kinh has ordered someone to dig open the grave of the late lady's coffin!”

“In the grave.”

“He found a locked iron box!”

“He is currently carrying that box to Tong Nhan Palace.”

"Says that he wants to accuse Princess An Binh Truong of usurping his deceased wife's inheritance!"

In that moment. The whole main hall fell into silence. Tong Nhan Phu. Denounce Princess An Binh Truong. Appropriating the deceased's legacy. The corner of my lips slowly curled up. My father has really gone crazy. Tong Nhan Phu is the place that specializes in managing all matters related to the royal family and relatives. He brought this up there. Obviously wanting to make a big deal out of it. Want to stir up the entire capital. I want this matter to reach the Emperor's ears. Want to use public opinion. Use filial piety. Use so-called ethics and reputation. To force Princess An Binh Truong to bow her head. Force me to bow my head. In his eyes. Perhaps he thought he had found the card to turn the tide of battle. He believes that the iron box contains the biggest secret left by his mother. Contains the assets that he longs for day and night. Contains an opportunity to help Mr. Dong Son start again. But he doesn't know. That iron box. It was originally something his mother intentionally left for him. It's the final gift. Also the final verdict. Exclusively for him.

“Prepare the car.”

I stood up. The voice was cold as ice.

“Go to Tong Nhan Palace.”

The news quickly spread to the ears of Princess An Binh Truong. She immediately went to the main hall. His face was extremely unsightly. There was undisguised anger in his eyes.

“Chieu Ninh.”

“Let the lady handle this matter.”

“Shen Jing is such a bastard.”

"Time I will definitely make him die without a place to bury him!”

"No need."

I shook my head.

“This is the Tham family's matter.”

“It's also my problem.”

“I want to end it all myself.”

Princess An Binh Truong looked at me. There was some concern in his eyes. I continued slowly:

“It's time for this play to end.”

“I don't want to continue any longer.”

A long time later. Princess An Binh Truong sighed softly.

“Then go away.”

“If you want to end it.”

“Let's end it thoroughly.”

Speaking of this. Her eyes suddenly turned cold.

“Huyen Giap Quan is outside.”

“Who dares to touch a strand of my hair?”

“This palace will level the entire Tong Nhan Palace.”

When the convoy arrived. The front gate of Tong Nhan Phu was filled with people. Three floors inside. Three floors outside. Everyone came to watch the excitement. Denounce Princess An Binh Truong. This is also a rare occurrence over the years. In the middle of the crowd.
