Three years after Zhou Wei'an's death, his old seal once again took away a shipload of military rations from Duzhiyuan.
Xie Yun, the prosecutor of the Si Zhi case, was ordered to investigate the military food shortage in Jiangnan. In order to preserve the old case of the Xie family, and to get rid of her father's control in the name of protection, she married the person who needed to be avoided the most - the regent Xiao Yan.
In addition to the marriage contract, the two made another private agreement: they will hold office independently, they will not read the case files privately, they must recuse themselves from cases involving them, and they must leave documents for any help.
But as the investigation deepened, Xie Yun discovered that the secret food route used by the family to embezzle military supplies had saved tens of thousands of border troops ten years ago. The person who established the grain road was Xiao Yan, but the person who designed the accounting method was her father.
When her marriage, family and court are put on trial together, she must prove that her judgment is not controlled by her husband; he must also admit that the power to save people still needs to be reviewed.
She writes to investigate his old sins, and he hands over the fish charm to wait for her judgment.
The case file can record the truth, but it cannot answer for them - when all help can be refused, will they still be willing to stay on their own initiative?
Intention: Power should be restrained, love should respect choice.
