Chapter 2 — On the Big Wedding Night, the Husband Jumped into the Lake to Save His Sister, Yet He Blamed Me for His Heart of Snakes and Centipedes
The guests all burst into laughter, the sound of wine glasses colliding with each other was crisp and clear. I was helped by someone to step through the fire basin, step over the saddle, under my feet was a thick soft carpet, the two sides of the incense burner constantly emitted warm mist. The red silk in my hand was pulled tight, the other end was in Trieu Nguyen Hanh's hand, step by step moving forward with me. I suddenly remembered what my royal brother said and suddenly felt that he was worrying too much. Throughout the capital, who doesn't know that the Crown Prince of the Trieu family is young and talented, keeping himself clean, not even having an open room. Marrying him is naturally a good thing. What the mother said is not wrong, a slightly lower gate is actually a good thing. Noble families are closely related. If an Elder Princess like me marries into them, I'm afraid they will be restrained everywhere. The Trieu family is noble and noble, but the population is simple, which is extremely suitable. The corner of my lips curled up slightly, and under the sound of my wife's bow, I slowly knelt down. Throughout the hall, the sound of congratulations rose like a tidal wave, one sentence after another was: "Giai phat thien thanh." Ceremony, worship, take to the cave room. I sat on the bed of joy, listening outside as the noise of the banquet gradually subsided, the candlelight flickered, and the pair of dragon and phoenix blessings on the table were still burning brightly. Thanh Dai walked in from outside, holding a multi-compartment breakfast box in his hand.
"Princess, the party up front has ended, the Crown Prince is still seeing off the guests. Are you hungry? This breakfast was sent by the Trieu family's wife."
“Not hungry.”
"Go out and see if the servants in the Trieu mansion have finished their work yet. Today our people and the people in their palace are working together, don't let anything unexpected happen."
Thanh Dai put down the breakfast box and went out. I was alone, sitting in the middle of a room covered in red silk. Suddenly, urgent footsteps came from outside the door. Thanh Dai pushed aside the curtain and rushed in, his face pale.
"Princess - Miss Bieu fell into the water! The servant saw with her own eyes the Crown Prince jumping in to save people!"
The chain of pearls on my phoenix crown suddenly shook violently. When I ran to the water pavilion by the lake in the royal garden, the place was surrounded by people in a circle. Trieu Nguyen Hanh hugged Tham Uyen Uyen as he walked from the water's edge. The front of his dress was soaked and his crown was completely askew, but his arms still held the girl tightly in his arms, refusing to let go for a moment. Tham Uyen Uyen wore his outer robe, his wet hair stuck to his cheeks, so cold that his lips turned purple.
“Brother Ah Hanh…”
Her voice trembled until it no longer sounded clear.
“It hurts so much…”
“It's okay, Uyen Uyen, it's okay.”
Trieu Nguyen Hanh sat her down on a stone chair in the pavilion, then turned his head and scanned the crowd, his eyes immediately fixed on her.
“Mo Dung Tu Tinh!”
His scream was so loud that everyone in the hospital heard it. Today was supposed to be the night of my wedding ceremony, but I hadn't even had time to take off my phoenix crown, the hem of my wedding dress dragging on the ground was covered in mud and water.
“Why is she so cruel?!”
All guests At the same time, they turned their heads to look over. I slowly raised my hand, Thanh Dai immediately stepped forward to support my arm. In the pavilion, the firelight from the torches crackled, illuminating Tham Uyen Uyen's crying face like a rain-soaked pear flower, making it even more pitiful. She cowered in Trieu Nguyen Hanh's arms, her shoulders kept shaking, every drop of blood on her arm dripped onto the blue stone floor, spreading out into small flowers.
“Sister-in-law...”
She raised her teary eyes, her voice small and trembling.
“I really won't fight with you about my brother... I don't know why you hate me so much... I just stood in the pavilion watching the snow, but you... you ordered someone to push me..."
Halfway through speaking, she was so choked up that she couldn't continue, so she could only bury her face in Trieu Nguyen Hanh's chest. Trieu Nguyen Hanh's face was pale, his teeth were clenched so tightly that his jaw line was tense, his eyes looking at me were cold as if they were tempered with ice.
"Murong Tu Tinh, do you know that Uyen Uyen has been afraid of water since she was a child? Even when bathing, someone must stand by her side! On the wedding night, you pushed her into the ice lake in the middle of December, do you want to take her life?!"
