Chapter 2
Chapter 2 — Rain and Dust Like Spring
“How are you?” “Are you satisfied?” I regained consciousness and quickly withdrew my hand. His eyes didn't know where to put them. He stiffly stood up, struggled to put on his nightgown and snuggled into bed. A soft laugh came from outside: "Embarrassed?" "I thought you were very powerful." I covered my head with the blanket. Just now I just mustered up all my courage to dare to do it. Thinking carefully, it's really embarrassing. Yet Ta Du still refused to let me go: "Are you asleep?" "Are you forgetting something?" Hearing that, I turned around, revealing a pair of eyes to look at him. He raised his eyebrows: "Come over here and help me." "I also want to sleep." I resignedly stood up. Take small steps in front of him, take his arm, help him walk towards the bed. Just walked to the edge of the bed. He twisted his leg again and fell straight on top of me. Four eyes looked at each other, close at hand. I reached out and pushed him: "Get up!" He didn't move. His eyes fell somewhere, his eyes were bright: "You're not bad." I'm red from my neck to my ears. Even though I was embarrassed, my mouth still refused to give up. "The prince is in trouble with me." "Everyone on the outside says that the prince keeps himself pure, but still... he can't keep his heart like that." "I thought you only had big sister in your heart." My lips parted slightly: "Brother... husband." His face turned black. He turned over and lay on his side. My body felt lighter, I quickly used both my arms and legs to crawl inside and covered myself with the blanket. Behind him came the sound of Ta Du muttering to himself. He said: "You should really sew your mouth shut." 7In the blink of an eye, autumn has come. Not only did the prince not die, his body recovered quite well. The doctor said he would soon be able to stand up. Mrs. Hou was so happy every day that she wished she could set off firecrackers to announce the news everywhere. She hugged me: "Oh my, this time has been really hard for you..." Ta Du smiled softly and interrupted: "It's more like it's hard for her mouth." The surroundings were quiet in the blink of an eye. Ta Du seemed to suddenly remember something, his ears turned red as if burned by fire. Mrs. Hau glared at him. Then he said to me: "There's a daisy viewing party in two days. Go out for a bit and relax, okay?" During this time, I've been staying at home and never gone out, which is really a bit frustrating. The autumn weather is clear, drinking tea and admiring the flowers... I happily nodded: "Okay." At the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, I met Tham Cam Duong. She saw me, her expression a bit unnatural. There was someone who liked to watch the excitement and opened his mouth to tease: "My sister's husband, my sister, married instead, it's really a story." "Cam Duong, why are you so embarrassed?" "Who offended you?" The story of the replacement marriage had already caused a stir. Even though her mother had found enough excuses for Tham Cam Duong, her reputation was still somewhat damaged. Tham Cam Duong is about to cry. She bowed her head, turned and left. I just see it as a small musical accompaniment and don't pay attention. It wasn't until the banquet ended that I was about to leave when Tham Cam Duong suddenly stopped me. She asked: "Second sister, how are you, Young Master?" "Do you blame me?" I thought for a moment and honestly answered: "You must blame me." She cried very pitifully. Chokingly said: "It's because I'm not good, it's because I betrayed you..." "If it wasn't for saving me before, you wouldn't have fallen off the cliff and been injured so seriously." "I really would rather be the one injured!" Her words were so pleasant to hear. It's just that what she did was unsightly. Tham Cam Duong cried like pear flowers drenched in rain: "Second sister, can I see you once?" Having said that, she gave me an envelope. "Can you give this to Thieu Quan for me?" "Don't worry, I don't want to fight with you." "I just... just want to apologize directly to you." "Please." I hesitated for a while, but in the end I still accepted the envelope. On the carriage back to the palace,
I always thought I should keep the letter directly with me, or... Thinking for a long time, I still felt it would be better to give it to him. What if one day he meets Tham Cam Duong and learns about this? So won't I become a sinner? Correct. Must give it to him! Whether we meet or not, that's up to him to decide. 8 When he got home, Ta Du happened to be taking a nap in his room. I walked around twice and gave him the letter: "For you." Ta Du opened his eyes dreamily and asked: "What?" "If you open it yourself, won't you know?" He listened and opened it. Then he stood up and looked up at me. I bowed my head, pretending not to notice and was busy doing other things, but in fact, the corner of my eyes was always paying attention to him. Ta Du was silent for a long time, his face not looking very good. He asked: "Do you want me to go?" "This is your business, why are you asking me?" Ta Du threw the letter aside and called out: "Thanh Bach!" "My lord, what's the matter?" Ta Du said in a low voice: "Prepare the car." He's gone. My hand that was folding my clothes stopped. Hesitating for a long time, I quietly followed. The two met in the suburbs. Sunset is about to fall, the sunset light is so beautiful that it is very meaningful.
