Chapter 10 — The Queen Mother Repays Gratitude - In This Life I Will Not Be Afraid of Confrontation

"You, the one who wrote me the letter?"

The voice was skeptical and wary. I put down the tea cup, stood up, smiled at him, and bowed:

"Liu Thi Lang, are you still healthy?"

"Foreign woman Tu Thanh Vi, please rest in peace."

Lieu Truyen Lam's sharp eyes were like two cold blades gliding across my face. He has been an official for many years and has seen countless storms. A girl who claimed to be his biological daughter, based only on a letter with no beginning or end, wanted him to believe such dangerous words. It is indeed a myth.

"Exogenous female?"

He snorted coldly, his voice full of undisguised sarcasm.

"My Lieu family's relatives are spread all over the north and south."

"But I've never heard that there is a sister named Tu in Phong Thanh."

"Little lady, impersonating a relative of an imperial official is a serious crime."

"You're still young, it's best not to ruin your future."

The two guards behind him placed their hands on the hilts of their swords. The air immediately became frozen and dangerous. I am not afraid at all. I just looked at him quietly, like I was looking at a prey that was about to fall into a trap without knowing it.

"It's normal that my uncle doesn't recognize me."

"Anyway, when my mother - Lieu Nhu Tu - married Phong Thanh, you were still just a scholar studying hard at Quoc Tu Giam."

"If we haven't seen each other for twenty years, it's normal to be strange."

When Lieu Truyen Lam heard the three words Lieu Nhu Tu, his pupils slightly shrank. That is indeed the name of his step-sister (daughter of his paternal uncle) who married him far away. But that still can't prove anything. It is not difficult to investigate his family background.

"Even if you really are my biological daughter, so what?"

"The words in your letter are all dangerous."

"You said that three months from now I will face a big disaster."

"Is there any evidence?"

He pressed closer step by step, wanting to use his authority to crush me completely. Laughed very calmly.

"Uncle is a smart person, naturally he understands. If there is no evidence, I don't dare to come see you."

I spicy,ot raised three fingers.

"Three things."

"If all three things come true, please believe me just once."

Lieu Truyen Lam raised his eyebrows, signaling me to continue speaking.

"First thing."

I looked straight into his eyes.

"Last night at the hour of the Rat, in the study, you personally wrote a secret note sent to the emperor."

"The content of the secret is that Minister Ly Nham of the Ministry of Public Works, while building the Yellow River dyke, embezzled 100,000 taels of treasury."

"You haven't given this seal to anyone, but have hidden it in the antique shelf in the study, in the secret compartment of a pre-dynasty Qinghua porcelain vase."

"He plans to personally present it to the saint after today's alms."

"I said, is that right?"

Just finished speaking. Lieu Truyen Lam's face, which was as calm as the surface of an ancient well, immediately changed color. He stood up, an unbelievable light shooting out of his eyes. This was something he came up with temporarily last night. In this world, besides yourself, there is absolutely no second person who knows! How could she know? Could it be that... there are insiders in the government? The people guarding the study were all his most trusted soldiers, and they absolutely could not betray him. Then she... An extremely absurd thought, but it made a cold chill run down his spine, welling up in his heart. I don't give you time to think. We continue to talk about things two.

"Your left arm has an old wound. Every time it rains or the humidity is high, it hurts like a needle stabbing into your heart."

"All the doctors in the Royal Hospital were helpless, only saying that it was an old disease and could not be cured."

"My father - Tu Nguyen - is incompetent, but he just found out there is a family medicine that specializes in treating this condition."

"I've already written the prescription, it's in my sleeve."

"If you don't believe me, you can try it, three steps of medicine, guaranteed to cure the disease and not relapse in the future."

Lieu Truyen Lam's breathing became rapid. The old injury in his hand is his biggest hidden disability. Even his wife only knew that he had been injured, but did not know the details of the pain. And what I said was exactly the same. If we talk about the first thing, it could still be a coincidence or a good guess. So how to explain this second story? I looked at the tiny drops of sweat on his forehead, delivering the final blow:

"The third thing is also the most important thing."

"Three months later, there will be a 500,000 tael amount of disaster relief money from Jiangnan that will disappear in transit."

"The court will be shocked, the holy dragon will be furious."

"Crown Prince Truong Cac Lao will be the first to stand up and criticize the Household Ministry under your management for not strictly supervising, colluding in embezzlement, and stealing public property."

"He will unite dozens of royal historians to play the harp to you."

"And in his hands, there will be 'iron proof'."

"A fake book that was personally made by the chief of your Imperial Household Bureau's office - Vuong Khac -."

"At that time, you will not be able to defend yourself. Under the emperor's anger, you will be ordered to retire and the whole family will be thrown into prison."

"The Lieu family's hundred-year reputation will be destroyed soon."

"Uncle, I'm done talking."
