Chapter 13 — The day I was left behind in the abandoned temple, the Princess kicked in the door to welcome me home

Tham Kinh is kneeling on the ground. Hair is messy. Clothes are disheveled. In his hand, he held high an iron box covered with rust. He cried until tears ran down his nose. The voice was extremely sad.

“Please Lord Tong Chinh take charge of the people!”

“My late wife was Ta Thi!”

“That year, Princess An Binh Truong was harmed!”

"The million-dollar fortune she left behind was also raped!"

“Now even my daughter is kept by her side!”

“Life and death are unknown!”

“Where is Thien Ly!”

“Where is the royal dharma!”

He acted very well. Every sentence and every word carries with it a choking cry. Causing many people around to start talking. Many people showed pity. There were also many people who began to doubt Princess An Binh Truong. Not far away. Khang District Vuong is standing with his hands clasped. His face was full of righteousness. It looks like he's standing up as support for someone who has been wronged. I see him. He also saw me. The two people's eyes met for a moment. Then separate again. Right at that moment. My carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Tong Nhan Phu. The entire crowd immediately separated to the two sides. I hold Giang Van's hand. Step by step get out of the car. The leg wound has improved a lot. I wear a simple white dress. No makeup. Naked. But as soon as it appeared. Everyone's eyes were still simultaneously attracted. In the middle of a sea of people. I see Tham Kinh. But Tham Kinh also saw me. He was first stunned. Right after that. Joy flared in his eyes like a drowning man catching a blade of grass to save his life.

“Chieu Ninh!”

“My daughter!”

“I'm still alive!”

He cried and laughed at the same time. Staggered up from the ground. Then he rolled and crawled towards me.

“Chieu Ninh!”

“Quickly tell Lord Tong Chinh!”

“Are you being held captive by Princess An Binh Truong?”

“Did she force you or not!”

“Father is here!”

“Father will definitely save you!”

I don't look at him. Didn't answer him either. I just slowly walked in front of him. His eyes fell on the iron box being held tightly in his heart. A long time later. I softly opened my mouth:

“Father.”

“You really are sure…”

“Want to open it?”

My voice is very light. So light that it almost melts in the wind. But right at that moment. Tham Kinh's face suddenly changed. Like a cat whose tail was stepped on by someone else. He let out a shrill scream.

“Of course it must be open!”

Tham Kinh almost screamed. He held the iron box tightly in his hand, his eyes bloodshot like someone who had put all his money into one last bet.

“Inside this is steel evidence!”

"It's proof that Princess An Binh Truong usurped the inheritance your mother left behind!"

“Just open it!”

“The truth will be revealed!”

“I will take back everything that belongs to me!”

"Let's see who dares to cover for her then!"

I nodded slightly. The voice was strangely calm.

“If father wants to open it.”

“Then open it.”

I put my hand inside my chest. Take out a small key. Its shape is very special. Unlike regular keys on the market. This is what we discovered on the back of Huyen Thiet Lenh. As soon as I see the key. Tham Kinh's breathing immediately became rapid. His already bloodshot eyes glowed even brighter. Like someone who is about to touch the treasure that he has dreamed of for many years. He rushed forward. Almost took the key from my hand. Hands tremble constantly. I tried several times but couldn't get the lock right. It took the fourth time. The new key actually goes inside. A very small sound rang out. The iron box that had been locked for many years was finally opened. In that moment. Everyone around them unconsciously held their breath. Countless eyes turned towards the box. Everyone wants to know. What exactly is hidden in there? Is the land and house deed enough to enrich the enemy's country? Or some other earth-shattering secret? The lid of the box was slowly opened. There is no gold, silver or jewels. There is no land deed. There is also no house contract. There was only a very thick stack of letters. The paper has turned yellow. Paper corners are old. It has clearly been stored for many years.
