Chapter 4 — Waking Up Dreaming and Doaning Love Lang

06

Sure enough, there was a commotion from the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Someone shouted loudly:

“Tutor Bui has arrived!”

Everyone's eyes simultaneously turned to the cobblestone road. Bui Dien wore a black brocade robe and walked quickly. He has an extremely outstanding appearance, deep eyebrows and eyes, broad shoulders and narrow waist. But the look at this moment is not easy to see at all. The eyebrows are slightly frowned, the jaw line is tight. His eyes crossed the guests at the party and fell straight on the crying Bui Ngoc Duong.

“Duong Nhi.”

He took two steps forward, half kneeling. One hand supported Bui Ngoc Duong's shoulder, the other lifted her chin, eyes filled with worry.

"What happened? Who bullied you?"

Bui Ngoc Duong looked up at him, tears falling like a broken string of pearls, only a trembling voice called out:

“Brother…”

That "singing" sound is both soft and warm, trembling to the point of making people's hearts numb. Bui Dien's spine stiffened. His fingers wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“Don't be afraid, I'm here.”

The two people were almost glued to each other, their position was extremely intimate. They completely forgot that this was the First Princess's banquet, and nobles from all over the capital were watching. Princess An Lac was stunned on the spot, her face darkening little by little. The ladies looked unusual, chatting quietly.

"After all, they are not biological brothers and sisters, but they don't know how to avoid suspicion..."

"No wonder she's so close to the crown prince. Outsiders say it's a deep brotherly relationship, but no matter how I look at it, I feel..."

"As soon as my sister cried, he knelt down and comforted me in front of everyone. What else could happen?"

“Shh, keep your voice down, the prince is looking over.”

Obviously Bui Dien heard it. Only then did he realize the current situation. He let go, stood up, his expression quickly became cold.

“Who is talking about the gossip of the Marquis Palace?”

Bui Ngoc Duong was behind him, sobbing and saying:

"It's sister Tham. She said I don't have the Marquis's bloodline, and I'm not worthy of meddling in the Marquis's affairs..."

Bui Dien immediately turned to look at me.

"Tham Xu, Duong Nhi's identity is a private matter of the Marquis Palace. Where did you know?"

"I know that you have never been on good terms with Duong Nhi, but today you humiliated her in front of Princess Truong and many nobles in the capital. Don't you feel that you are too much?"

"Before, I just thought her personality was straightforward, but now it seems clear that she has a cruel heart!"

I caught his eyes.

“Tu Tu Bui, did you see with your own eyes that I humiliated her?”

“If you didn't bully her, why would she cry like this?”

I burst out laughing.

“She cried, so it was my fault?”

“Tham Xu!”

Bui Dien clenched his jaw, his chest heaving. I looked at the wrinkles between his eyebrows and suddenly felt extremely funny. I was once moved by a man like that before.

“Tu Tu Bui.” My voice is calm. "Today's story from beginning to end was Bui Ngoc Duong stabbing himself into the table, first spilling my teacup, and then slandering me."

"Dozens of eyes present saw it. If you don't believe it, just ask Princess Truong."

Bui Dien turned his head to look up at the upper seat. The princess leisurely said:

“The palace only saw Bui Miss Tham stood up and crashed into Miss Tham's desk."

He paused for a moment, then added:

“My eyes are still usable.”

Bui Dien's face darkened.

"Duong Nhi definitely didn't do it on purpose."

“She didn't mean it, so do I deserve to have dirty water thrown on me?”

I held out my hand. The patch of red, burning skin on the back of his hand was especially glaring.

“Bui Dien, look clearly. This is thanks to your sister's blessing."

Bui Dien's eyes fell on the back of my hand. He was silent for a moment then looked away.

“Just a small burn. After returning, I will ask the doctor to give you luxurious medicine."

He stopped, his voice fading a bit.

"Even though it was Duong Nhi who spilled the tea cup, she still apologized to her just now."

“Why do you still hold on to her identity and not let go, exposing her secret?”

"Shen Xu, are you determined to make her unable to raise her head in the capital from now on?"

【The classic scene of tyrannical protection of his wife has appeared!!!】 【Tham Xu, your life is over. Looking at his eyes looking at Ngoc Duong, then looking at his eyes looking at you, it was immediately clear who was better and who was worse!】 【As soon as Ngoc Duong cried, the male lead's soul flew away. No matter how right the woman is, what good is it? If a man is not on your side, if you win, you will still lose!]

I looked at those golden letters and suddenly felt there was nothing more worth saying. It's ridiculous. Why should I, Tham Xu, stay in this chess game and be a piece that is used and then thrown away? Do we have to wait until people are stripped of their skin and bones, and even children are strangled to death, to wake up? I don't look at Bui Dien anymore. I turned to Princess Truong and bowed to pay my respects.

“Your Highness, today I caused a disturbance at the flower reward banquet, it was my fault.”

“But there is one thing that I want to clarify in front of the nobles throughout the capital.”

The princess raised her eyebrows.

“You say it.”

“The marriage contract between the goddess and Prince Bui was originally a good relationship between the two families, and also because of the many generations of friendship between the Marquis and the Tham family.”

“But now it seems…”
