Chapter 3 — Waking Up Dreaming and Doaning Love Lang

I suddenly bent down and picked up the broken tea cup from the ground.

“Miss Bui said you saw the corner of my mouth stained with tea.”

Bui Ngoc Duong instinctively nodded. I looked at her, smiling slightly.

"Your Highness gave me Quan Son Silver Cham tea. I just received the cup and was about to slowly enjoy it when Miss Bui crashed into it."

I turned the teacup over so everyone could see the cup clearly.

“If I had drunk, at least a lipstick mark would have been left on the rim of the cup. But this cup is clean without a trace.”

“I haven't even taken a sip yet, where do I get the tea stains at the corner of my mouth?”

The blood on Bui Ngoc Duong's face immediately drained away. The ladies who were whispering a moment ago now all fell silent. Princess An Lac opened her mouth, as if she wanted to find words to cover for her, but the words that reached her lips were swallowed back. No matter how stupid she is, she still understands how fatal this loophole is. A person can't even see whether the other person has drunk tea or not, yet he dares to say with certainty that it was because he saw the tea stains that he stood up and gave the towel? Conflicts before and after, loopholes pile up. Bui Ngoc Duong finally panicked.

"Sister Shen... maybe I saw wrong..."

“Misunderstanding?” I laughed. "Miss Bui's words just now were as firm as nails. In front of the Princess Truong, in front of so many nobles in the capital, with just a 'mistake', do you want to ignore the matter of slandering others?"

“In my opinion, giving me a towel is fake, using an excuse to bump into me is real.”

"You want to ruin my reputation, making the nobles throughout the capital think that I am Tham Xu bitter and jealous. I can still ignore that."

Let's stop for a moment.

"But you said something just now. You said I'm not worthy of being the mother of the Marquis Palace."

"I want to ask a question, you are just a foster daughter of the Marquis Palace, and an unmarried girl, why do you choose the mother and mother for the Marquis Palace?!"

I intentionally emphasize the words "nursing women". The golden letters immediately exploded: 【??? How does Tham Xu know about fake gold? Didn't the Marquis Palace keep it a secret?】 【No matter how she knew, in front of so many people, she intentionally exposed Ngoc Duong's wound. Isn't it because she's jealous that she's favored? What a cruel thing!】 【Sisters, my blood pressure is so angry! Male lead come quickly! Your Ngoc Duong is about to be bullied to death!】 The ladies and gentlemen at the party also reacted at this time.

"Nursing daughter? Isn't Miss Bui the daughter of the Marquis Palace?"

“I heard some rumors a few days ago, could it be true?”

"I told you why Miss Bui is not at all like Marquis and Marquis..."

"Shh, keep your voice down. I'm afraid this is a bad thing in the Marquis's house."

Prince An Lac was stunned for a long time.

"Ngoc Duong, is what she said true? You don't have Marquis bloodline?"

Bui Ngoc Duong bit his lip and did not answer, his whole body trembled. An Lac saw her reaction and his face immediately changed. She tightened her grip on Bui Ngoc Duong's wrist, but in the end she still did not let go. On the contrary, she turned to look at me, the corner of her lips curled up in a cold smile.

“Tham Xu, why is your mouth so poisonous?”

"Even though Ngoc Duong doesn't have Marquis bloodline, he has been raised for more than ten years. Even if he's not blood relatives, he's even closer than blood relatives!"

“Still You, time after time, make Ngoc Duong lose face in front of everyone. Is this the family teachings of the Tham family?”

I saw the unwillingness rolling in the bottom of her eyes, and in my heart I understood clearly like a mirror. An Lac admired Bui Dien, the whole capital knew. She thought that she was appearing on behalf of the younger sister of the person in her heart, hoping to leave a good impression on Bui Dien. But little did she know, the person she was protecting was her true rival. I said slowly:

“The lord is right.”

“Only…”

I stopped and turned my eyes to Bui Ngoc Duong.

"Miss Bui no longer has the Marquis bloodline, from now on she will have to get married sooner or later."

"Who owns the Marquis' Palace, is she worthy or not, what does it have to do with her?"

“Unless…”

I deliberately lengthened my voice and smiled at her.

“Does she have other plans?”

Bui Ngoc Duong suddenly raised his head to look at me, a look of fear flashed through his eyes. An Lac is still bewildered:

“What do you mean by this?”

No one answered her. At that moment, the Princess finally put down her teacup. The bottom of the cup touched the table lightly, making a very soft sound. The whole party immediately fell silent. The person used a towel to wipe his fingertips, smiling as if not looking at Bui Ngoc Duong.

“Miss Bui, Miss Tham is asking you.”

Bui Ngoc Duong's lips were pale white. Her legs suddenly went weak, her whole body slumped to the ground.

“Sister Tham, please stop talking…”

"I... I am indeed not the biological son of the Marquis, but I only found out about this a few days ago..."

Tears fell, she cried until she couldn't breathe. The golden letters began to pass again and again: 【Save life! This cruel female supporting character knows how to keep away cockroaches!】 【Where is the male lead? If you don't come, your Ngoc Duong is about to be eaten alive!】 【I bet half a coin, the male lead is about to appear as a hero to save the beauty, hit Tham Xu in the face until he screams!】
