Perhaps I would really think that my mother was only angry because she was worried when I didn't return to the palace all night. Even grateful for the elder sister's advice. Then, because he wanted to comfort his mother, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake. See I still refuse to kneel. Mother was so angry that she couldn't stand, raised her hand and threw a cup of tea straight at me. I leaned to the side to avoid it. Then he spoke his first sentence since entering this room. "Didn't Mr. Tham last night, because he was worried about elder sister's old illness reoccurring, carried elder sister to the medical clinic, leaving me alone to wait?" I deliberately emphasized the word "carry". The elder sister's face immediately turned pale. The mother also opened her eyes wide, her expression changing continuously. Look at the expressions on the faces of the eldest sister and mother at that time. Finally, we slowly understood. It turns out I didn't offend the elder sister somewhere. But because the eldest sister is the predetermined Crown Princess. She must remain pure and not have any entanglements with other men. And Tham Quan Lan is my fiance. Push me to take the blame, saying that I like to play outside and don't return to the palace all night. So, no matter who saw Tham Quan Lan carrying a young lady to the hospital. Then everyone will automatically assume that person is me. And the eldest sister will still be the pure and pure Crown Princess. It's ridiculous. The elder sister just wanted to enjoy Tham Quan Lan's attention. And he doesn't want to give up his position as Crown Princess. Wanted this, wanted that too. Finally, he pushed me, the unimportant second lady of the To family, to admit all his sins. We just need to accept this. For the rest of my life, I will be labeled by people as the person who spent the night outside with a man without shame. What's more, once you start with something like that. I'm afraid there will be no end to this forever. I quietly looked at my mother. Then, word by word, he said it clearly. "If mother doesn't believe it, just go out to the city to find that farmer and ask them if last night I was the only one standing in the snow waiting for someone." "Or you can also ask the soldiers guarding the city gate to see if I had to take a cart into the city this morning, and who was the person sitting on Tham Quan Lan's carriage last night." Afraid that they would risk everything and even do something wrong because they wanted to preserve their eldest sister's reputation. kill people and destroy their mouths. I also deliberately added one more sentence. "That's right, today the person on duty at the city gate is the Third Young Master of Tan Thai Lieutenant's palace." Tan Thai Lieutenant was originally his father's mortal enemy. The third young master of the Qin family once met both me and the eldest sister. Of course, we can also distinguish between our appearances. The elder sister's body staggered as if about to fall. Breathing also gradually became faster. Mother panicked and sent someone to invite the doctor, then turned to comfort the elder sister. The whole courtyard immediately turned into a group, everyone surrounded the elder sister. No one noticed and I quietly left. … Passing by the flower hall, my wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. His strength was great, squeezing so hard that my wrist hurt. I tilted my head and looked over. That person is Tham Quan Lan. The dark circles under his eyes were clearly visible, it looked like he hadn't slept all night. He spoke very quickly, as if he only came to inform me. "Last night, you did not return to the palace all night, and were always with me. The person I carried to the medical clinic was also you." "Van Lam is the future Crown Princess. Last night, the situation was urgent, so I was suddenly caught off guard. This absolutely must not affect her reputation." Finally, as if granting a favor, he gently rubbed his eyebrows. "As for you, A Mien, you are already a princess." My fiancee." "No matter what the rumors are outside, I will still marry you." I violently pushed his hand away and then raised my hand to slap him. "Men and women are not intimate, please.

Mr. Tham has dignity." Tham Quan Lan was stunned. For a moment, it seemed like he hadn't even realized that he had just been slapped by me. He just stared at me, muttering a question. "What do you... call me?" I took a few steps back. "My ancestors have sent someone to the Tham residence to resign." "What Mr. Tham wanted me to do, I can't do." "I'm also the one who will get married, my reputation is also very important." I don't know what he was thinking about. But my face was pale and bloodless. But I didn't have the patience to continue hanging around with Tham Quan Lan. Last night, I was still holding on to a small glimmer of hope. Even when I slept, I was worried that Tham Quan Lan would come back to pick me up, and that when he came back, I didn't sleep Praising him for being fair and upright, he didn't ask a single question about how I got through that cold snowy night alone. The first thing he did was ask me to take the blame for my sister. But thanks to that, I completely understood his character from now on. After saying that, I turned around and was about to leave spoke up tiredly. "Ah Mien, you must still be angry about last night." "But last night I was just worried about your older sister's old illness recurring so I was suddenly impatient. You've always been understanding, so why do you have to hold on to this forever?" "Besides, she's your older sister, do you really have the heart to stand by and watch your older sister die?" He paused for a moment. Disappointment was clear on his face. "If that's true If so... then I really looked at the wrong person." Those words were from Tham Quan Lan.
