Chapter 8 — Waking Up Dreaming and Doaning Love Lang

When Bui Ngoc Duong walked in, I almost didn't recognize her. She wore a slightly old light blue shirt, with only a simple silver brooch on her head. Half of the face is covered with a thin layer of tissue, hiding the scar that stretches from the eyebrow to the chin. Her whole body had become much thinner, and her previous weak and beautiful appearance had completely disappeared. 【Hu hu hu, Ngoc Duong is so miserable. Her face is destroyed, the Marquis no longer needs her, that scumbag Bui Dien even called her scary!】 【The people above wake up. When she slandered Tham Xu in front of everyone, she wasn't that pitiful. Just do it yourself.】 【Oh, after all, she was also deceived by Bui Dien. That scumbag used sweet words to coax her, how could she not be moved?】

“Sister Shen.”

Bui Ngoc Duong bowed to me in a very formal manner.

"Suddenly coming to the palace to disturb you is rude to Ngoc Duong."

I didn't show my emotions and quietly assessed her. After a while, he spoke up:

“Sit down.”

She sat down and was silent for a while.

“Sister Tham, today I came to apologize to you.”

"That day at the flower feast, I actually... intentionally stabbed you."

"At that time, I was too naive, thinking that if I only ruined your reputation and made the whole capital feel that you were not worthy of my brother, I would be able to have a good reputation..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

“The exchange of horses during the autumn hunt was also my own doing.”

“If I don't have thoughts that I can't let others know, why did I agree to trade horses with you?”

“This face of mine is probably retribution.”

Bui Ngoc Duong pulled the corner of his mouth, intending to smile, but the scar tightened, making that smile more unsightly than crying. I put down the tea cup.

“You came today just to say these words?”

“Not completely.”

She clenched her fingers.

“I came to remind you, sister.”

“Remember what?”

"In the past, Bui Dien wanted to marry you to borrow the Tham family's connections and get into the Cabinet, and wanted your father to pave the way for him. Now the Marquis's books are all in deficit, and the Marquis also hopes to borrow the Tham family's power to fill those gaps."

"Sister Tham, although you no longer have feelings for him, you still have to be careful. He is someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals."

I listened quietly and did not answer. We have long seen these things clearly from the golden letters. But her taking the initiative to speak frankly still surprised me a bit. While thinking, Bui Ngoc Duong's face suddenly turned white. She put her hand on her forehead, her body wobbling.

“Miss Bui?”

Before the words finished, her whole body slid off the chair and passed out. My heart jumped, so I quickly told the maid to go invite the maid.

The robe arrived very quickly. After checking his pulse, his face became strange.

“This lady is pregnant, approximately more than two months.”

I was stunned.

“Pregnant?”

"Yes. It's just that her vitality and blood were too severely damaged, and the fetus was not in good shape. The past few days of traveling were so tiring that she fainted."

【Oh my god, the taboo love I've been pursuing finally has a child! I beg Ngoc Duong to go back and find the male lead. With a child, the male lead will definitely change his mind!】 【Return your head! That scum who hated her and was destroyed, why would he come back? After being taken advantage of, did you just kick him away?】 【Yes So, follow me, just drink a bowl of medicine and you'll be done!】 After the medical staff left, I ordered someone to arrange for Bui Ngoc Duong to rest in the ovary pavilion in the heavenly courtyard. When I woke up, it was dusk.

“Sister Shen, this is me…”

“You're pregnant.”

She was stunned for a long time. A moment later, she suddenly closed her eyes tightly, raised her hand and slapped me hard in the face.

“Why am I so stupid…”

"I truly deserve it..."

“Bui Ngoc Duong.”

I hold her wrist.

“First of all, don't panic.”

She raised her head and looked at me bewildered, her despair so heavy that it almost seemed to engulf her whole body.

"Sister Tham, now I can't even enter the Marquis Palace door. This face of mine... how... how can I raise the child?"

"I no longer have the face to meet people, and I don't have the face to let the children follow me to suffer."

“If only I could die cleanly…”

“Dead?”

"You're dead, Bui Dien will get his wish."

“He just wants you to disappear forever so that those dirty things will be buried deep underground.”

“Are you willing?”
