Chapter 1 — Tieu Lau Tac Da Thinh Phong Vu

During the spring hunting season, my sister deliberately pointed me the wrong way, forcing me to spend an entire night alone with Little Master Tong, a debauchery who was famous throughout the capital. When my childhood friend Thoi Dac came to visit me, he hesitated for a while and said: "This time I came for two things." "First, Lam Suong was just joking, not on purpose. Now your grandmother wants to severely punish her, I hope you will help explain clearly." "Second... your reputation is now tainted, you can no longer be my main wife... But you can rest assured, I will marry you as my wife." "Lam Suong and you are sisters." Sister, from now on I will treat both of you fairly, with absolutely no favoritism." I looked at him quietly, not really knowing what to say. Little Master Tong and I are engaged. At this time, Thoi Dac still has a bright, high-class appearance. The blue frock coat accentuates his handsome, jade-like face. After saying those words. The room fell into a dead silent atmosphere. His demeanor made it seem like he didn't come here today to cancel the engagement, demoting me from the official wife to being the average wife. Nor did I arbitrarily decide to marry my sister-in-law, who always pretends to be alone and pretends to be pitiful. It's because it's a matter of great concern to society and the world. I was made to laugh by his upright, righteous appearance. All these years, I have truly been blind. Hear my self-deprecating laughter. Thoi Dac's face slightly darkened, looking unhappy. "Khuong Van Quan, you are the owner, I am the guest, do you entertain guests like that?" New hatred piled up on old hatred. I originally intended to open my mouth and scold him directly. But remember your mother's advice. I just used the scarf to cover my mouth and calmly said: "Young master, Khuong Lam Suong is my sister. If my grandmother wants to punish or reward her, it's all the Khuong family's business." "If you already know that you are a guest, then don't worry about making money or meddling in other people's affairs." "Also, you can marry the young lady of any family. Even though you and I have known each other since childhood, we are both adults now, so we should keep a distance between men." "After speaking, I placed the tea cup on the table, neither heavy nor light, making a cold, sharp sound. "Sending guests off." The little maid quickly stepped forward. "Master Cui, please." In all these years, this is the first time Cui Dac has suffered a loss at my place. He clenched his fists and coldly shouted: "You..." Seeing my cold expression, Cui Dac took a deep breath and his voice calmed down. "Van Quan, I know you still can't accept it, but now your reputation has been destroyed. I agree to marry you because I have tried to win with my parents for a long time. Don't continue to be arbitrary." "The matter between me and Lam Suong has also been decided... I will not allow you to continue doing it." I couldn't stand it any longer, immediately covered my ears and shouted: "Get out!"... After Cui Dac left. We still feel a little uncomfortable in our hearts. We have known each other since childhood, we were childhood friends. When I was a child, I studied at the Thoi family's ethnic school. Cui Dac took me for a walk around the garden, brought me breakfast, and even helped me copy down the lessons that my teacher punished me for... Every story, every little thing. Little by little, little by little. I always thought that I would definitely marry him in the future. Over the years, I have devoted all my heart and soul to him. But in recent years, Cui Dac has always acted like an adult, time and time again scrutinizing and teaching me. "Khuong Van Quan, you're too harsh, women should be gentle and kind." "Khuong Van Quan, the woman of the Thoi family is the patriarch of a clan, she can't continue to play freely like when she was a child." "You must have a kind heart..." All kinds of things like that.

So. I never thought much of it, I thought he just wanted me to become better. Until his sister Khuong Lam Suong came from Thanh Chau to the capital. We gradually understand. Cui Dac is no longer the big brother Thoi of my childhood, who used to take me out and play with me. He over and over again scrutinized and blamed me. Not because he wants me to become better, but just because he doesn't like me enough. Towards the person he truly loves, no matter how bad that person is, he will still be tolerant and gentle. Not even regretting hurting me deeply. … Khuong Lam Suong is my Second Uncle's daughter, one year younger than me. Second Uncle worked for many years as an official under the Governor of Thanh Chau but still had no achievements. This year suddenly brought Khuong Lam Suong back to the capital. Said that he wanted to ask my great-grandmother and my mother to find her a good marriage. When she arrived, I was very happy. Because the Khuong family is so large, only me and my brother are descendants. The elder brother is much older than me, and has been mature since he was young, and rarely plays with me. I've always wanted a sister to accompany me morning and night. But the truth is not as expected. Khuong Lam Suong returned to the capital in less than half a month and cried more than twenty times. As soon as she met her great-grandmother and mother, she cried for half an hour. Missing her parents in Thanh Chau, she cried for an hour.
