Chapter 9 — The day I was left behind in the abandoned temple, the Princess kicked in the door to welcome me home

“Subordinates are present!”

Giang Van took a step forward. Princess An Binh Truong coldly ordered:

“Command my command.”

“Before morning, I want to see all the information about Lam Thi Lang palace.”

“From master to servant.”

“From relatives to family.”

“Within three lifetimes.”

“Don't leave anyone out.”

“Don't miss anything.”

Giang Van immediately received the order. No hesitation. Don't ask any more questions. She turned around and left. Look at that back. For the first time, I truly felt the power of power. Just one sentence. Was able to decide the fate of an entire family. Just one command. It was possible to reveal all the secrets hidden in the darkness. Princess An Binh Truong called the doctor again. Check my pulse again. Best medicine. The best medicine. The most dedicated caregiver. Less than an hour. The high fever has completely subsided. The wound on my leg is no longer as painful as before. The whole person felt much more relieved. When it's almost dawn. Giang Van returned. In her hand she carried a thick stack of documents.

“Young master.”

“What you want is already there.”

I accept it. Then open each page one by one. His eyes became colder. The things recorded inside were much dirtier than we imagined. Lam Thi Lang embezzled and took bribes. Abuse of power. Many cases were wrongly tried. There were still many human lives on his hands. And Lam Van Hien. On the outside, he looks like a gentleman. But in reality it's just gold on the outside, rotten on the inside. Based on the Lam family's illustrious family background. He secretly did countless dirty things. But what surprised me the most. It is the biggest property of the Lam family. The largest silk shop in the South. The place that brings them the most profit. The largest shareholder behind it is... My father. Vinh An Marquis Tham Kinh. I looked at that line for a long time. Finally burst out laughing. It turns out that's it. It turned out that they had been colluding with each other for a long time. Turns out it was all just an act. The so-called in-laws. The so-called marriage contract. The so-called subject of registering for protection. It's all just an excuse. The real purpose is to tie the interests of the two families together. Tie it tighter. So tight that it cannot be separated. It is the sacrifice that is offered in exchange for that benefit. And Bach Chi. It is the chess piece that they push forward. A chess piece used to take my place. Really good. We close the file. Then give it back to Giang Van. Giang Van received it. I continued to say:

“Also.”

“Go help me investigate.”

Giang Van immediately bowed her head.

“Please advise, Young Master.”

“Bach Chi.”

I slowly read that name.

“I want to know.”

“How did she get into the Marquis's palace?”

“Who is behind her?”

“Everything has to do with her.”

“We all want to know.”

An orphan of unknown origin. It can even surpass the daughter left by her mother. Being favored by his father to that extent. It can also make Lam Van Hien fall in love with her. I absolutely don't believe it. She really is as harmless as she looks.

“I understand.”

Giang Van received the order and retreated. During that process. Princess An Binh Truong was still sitting next to me, quietly observing me. Don't interfere. Also don't interrupt. Not until we have everything sorted out. She slowly spoke up:

“I thought of it What should I do yet?”

I nodded.

“Pull out the firewood from the bottom of the pot.”

A smile appeared in Princess An Binh Truong's eyes.

“Let me try.”

I calmly replied:

“The Lam family's biggest supporter is your father.”

“And your father's greatest hope right now.”

"It's a marriage with the Tran Quoc Cong palace."

I raised my head. Bright eyes.

“I want to meet Tieu Canh Hanh.”

Princess An Binh Truong burst out laughing. That smile carried some teasing.

“He's been waiting outside for an hour.”

This time it's my turn to be stunned. I really didn't expect it. A prince of the Tran Quoc Cong palace. You can wait patiently for that long.

“Let him in.”

Princess An Binh Truong nodded slightly. Not long after. Tieu Canh Hanh walked in from outside. This time he did not wear black brocade like when he was in the Hau palace. Instead, replace it with a simpler civilian outfit. The sharp aura on his body also softened a bit. A little less cold. More and a few more moderate parts. Just walked in. His eyes immediately looked towards me. Then carefully evaluate from top to bottom. Look at your face. Look at the mood. Look at the wound on the leg.
