Chapter 3 — Tieu Lau Tac Da Thinh Phong Vu

Khuong Lam Suong's face turned red, she bowed her head, not saying a word. Until it's too forced. She bit her lip and said in a low voice: "I heard that sister Van Quan's future fiance is the only child of Minister Cui... young, talented, and elegant..." Seeing her grandmother's eyes widened. The girl's eyes turned red and she weakly said: "I know I'm not as good as sister Van Quan... if I'm a little worse than Mr. Cui... I'm satisfied..." After hearing those words. The grandmother's face completely turned cold, and she no longer paid any attention to her sister. Later, these words reached my ears. I just consider it a joke. Who would have thought that later on, the person who became a laughing stock would be me. … The first time Thoi Dac met Khuong Lam Suong was at my birthday party. That day, I sent invitations to a few close ladies. The ladies laughed and chatted and had fun together. Only Khuong Lam Suong sat alone on the riverbank. His eyes were red, quietly looking into the distance. Miss Lam Man, daughter of Thai Thuong Tu Khanh's family, is the most gentle and thoughtful person. Seeing Khuong Lam Suong like that. I quickly called her over to eat fruit and play with her. But Khuong Lam Suong always seemed timid and shed tears at the slightest move. I just accidentally spilled a cup of tea and cried and apologized. It's like everyone is bullying me. Lam Man frowned slightly. I'm no longer enthusiastic about that girl anymore. When Thoi Dac came into the backyard to give me a birthday gift. In the hallway, he often saw Khuong Lam Suong being shunned by everyone, sitting there alone and quietly shedding tears. Seeing him frown. I thought he also didn't like Khuong Lam Suong's appearance. She had no choice but to say shyly: "My sister-in-law is also very good. She insists on showing off like that, but outsiders who don't know will think that my mother mistreats her." The more people came, the more Khuong Lam Suong felt sorry for herself. Clearly, clothing and expenses are much better than when they were in Thanh Chau. Yet she insisted that she wanted to compare everything with me. The ladies in the capital are all observant and understanding. No one pampers her petty thoughts. However, Cui Dac's face slightly darkened, his voice also carrying a bit of reproach: "Van Quan, you should not be so lacking in sympathy." "Have you ever put yourself in my sister's situation?" "She grew up in Thanh Chau, came to the capital alone, missed her relatives, and is not familiar with everything here. It's natural." Having said that, he looked at me with dissatisfaction and sighed softly. "Van Quan, you are too pampered. Then, I completely do not understand the suffering of others." "You are sisters, you should be more tolerant of them." At that time, I stood there stupidly. Suddenly I was fascinated by his dignified words. Even silently wondering in his heart. Am I really too selfish? But everything that happened later soon showed Thoi Dac's heart. Just seeing Khuong Lam Suong shed tears will make him heartbroken. Every time we go out on a trip, he deliberately tells us to take Khuong Lam Suong with us. Every time Thoi Dac gave me a gift, there was a part of Khuong Lam Suong. I just need to show a little dissatisfaction. He will blame me for not being generous enough, for not having sisterly love. … Time passes. Stuck between Thoi Dac and Khuong Lam Suong, I am increasingly suffering. It seems that even breathing is wrong. To make Thoi Dac satisfied, I will yield to Khuong Lam Suong in everything. Clearly there is a lot of reluctance in my heart. On the surface, we still have to pretend to be generous and tolerant. I feel like I'm no longer myself. Until half a year later, His Majesty held a spring hunt. The ladies in the capital

must all attend. According to common sense, Khuong Lam Suong was not qualified to participate, but she really wanted to go. Saying that since he was a child in Thanh Chau, he was good at riding horses and archery, and would absolutely not get in everyone's way. One time, Cui Dac came to me to ask for love for her sister. "Between sisters, we should love each other. Later, when you marry into the Thoi family, you will become the patriarch of the entire clan. You cannot help but take care of your loved ones, you must pay attention to everything."At that time. In my heart, I have accumulated too much dissatisfaction with Thoi Dac. Furthermore, I have been looking forward to this spring hunting season for a long time. I don't want Khuong Lam Suong to ruin my excitement again. So I refused. But in the end, Khuong Lam Suong still attended. Just using the Thoi family's quota. That day, my mother from afar saw Khuong Lam Suong standing next to Thoi Dac, smiling and talking happily. Suddenly turned to me and said: "Mother knows that I like Thoi Dac, but it's just a man, if it's already dirty, you don't need it anymore." At that time, I was stunned. That sentence kept repeating in my head. Just like that, I was absent-minded all day. By noon the next day. Khuong Lam Suong suddenly ran to my tent. His face filled with impatience, he said that Thoi Dac was injured and wanted me to help save him. Things related to life. I also don't think much. Even if I don't marry Cui Dac in the future. I also don't want to see him injured without anyone saving him. So I rode my horse and went in the direction Khuong Lam Suong had pointed out. Who would have thought it was a trap... That night I was trapped in the middle of a deep, desolate mountain forest. No matter how much I called for help, no one came. And the person stuck in that trap with me was Tong Duc, the little master of Tuc Quoc Cong's palace. Originally, he happened to meet me on the road and went with me to save people. Unexpectedly, I was implicated and fell into the trap.
