Chapter 2 — I Actively Yield My Husband To The Benefactor Who Saved His Life
In this life, Bui Hanh Chi, you finally got your wish. After returning to the inn, Mrs. Bui immediately sent a famous doctor to check my pulse. The old doctor let go of my wrist, shook his head and sighed.
"Indeed, it is as she said, the cold energy that has accumulated for a long time has damaged the fundamentals. If you carefully nurse for a few years, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope, but I cannot guarantee it."
Lady Bui sat at the table and seemed to have aged several years overnight. I took out the white jade pendant that I had carried with me for many years from my chest, raised my hands and brought it in front of her.
"This is the token A Hanh gave me that year. Now it's back to its owner."
Mrs. Bui did not accept it.
"It's that Van Duong and the Bui family have no fate. If A Hanh has forgotten everything before, then why not follow God's will, from now on everyone will be at peace."
Finally, Mrs. Bui also reached out to receive the jade pendant, turned it over and looked at it for a long time, her eyes gradually turned red.
“This girl has been so stubborn since she was little.”
I don't advise any more. Throughout the next day, I continued to advise Mrs. Bui. At first, Mrs. Bui refused to accept the marriage between Bui Hanh Chi and To Nhuoc Huyen no matter what. Until she saw with her own eyes Bui Hanh Chi chopping wood and carrying water for To Nhuoc Huyen, seeing him bend down to gently brush back the tangled hair on her cheek, that gentleness and caution finally made Mrs. Bui soften her heart towards this newly found son. The next day, we once again arrived at the door of the small monastery. As soon as the bamboo fence door opened, when she saw me and Mrs. Bui, To Nhuoc Huyen's small face immediately turned pale. The few times I came here to look for someone, I already made her wary. At this time, she was wearing an old red cotton shirt, standing behind the threshold, looking at me warily.
“What are you doing here?”
"Ngon Sam's wound has not yet healed completely. If you want to force him away, you are harming him."
I gently opened my mouth:
“I don't intend to take you away.”
To Nhuoc Huyen was stunned for a moment.
"Lady Bui has accepted their marriage. It's just that after all, he is the only son of the Marquis, so the matter of getting married must be discussed with the elders."
To Nhuoc Huyen bit her lower lip, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"You came to me time and time again to mess with my fiance, and now you say you won't take me away anymore, who would believe it?"
Mrs. Bui's face fell.
"The words I said by my own mouth, are they still fake?"
"Besides, my son was injured and had a famous doctor come along to treat him. You're just a woman picking medicine in the countryside, there's no need to use this as an excuse."
Mrs. Bui was originally the daughter of a military general, with an intimidating aura. It was clear that To Nhuoc Huyen was frightened, her eyes immediately turned red, her body staggered back a step, as if unable to stand.
“But... but only I can cure your headache. This is my family's traditional medicine...”
“What are you doing here?”
A figure quickly walked out from inside the yard, blocking To Nhuoc Huyen behind him. Bui Hanh Chi. He was a little thinner than in his previous life, but his face was still as sharp as in his memories mine. He looked at me and Mrs. Bui, there was not even a hint of familiarity in those phoenix eyes.
"I don't care who you are, Nhuoc Huyen is my life-saver, and the person I want to marry. If you continue to make things difficult for her, don't blame me for turning my face."
Mrs. Bui's body shook slightly. I immediately reached out to help her.
“This is your mother.”
Bui Hanh Chi looked at Mrs. Bui, attentively assessing a few breaths. When he saw the face that somewhat resembled his own, his tone finally calmed down a bit.
“...Mother?”
He paused for a moment then held his fist.
“It was me who was rude.”
From behind came the soft voice of To Nhuoc Huyen.
"Hanh Chi, it turns out you're really the son of the Marquis? So do you no longer need me?"
Bui Hanh Chi immediately turned around and grabbed her hand.
"No."
On the day we got married, Mrs. Bui sat under the ceremony, while I stood in a hidden corner. In the simply arranged wedding hall, two figures dressed in cardinals stood side by side. Bui Hanh Chi's eyes from beginning to end rested on To Nhuoc Huyen's face, the eyebrows at the corner of his eyes were so gentle that we have never seen before. In his previous life, he also looked at her like that. The only difference is, in his previous life, he stood in the Buddha's temple and looked at her tablet. The ceremony is complete. I walked out of the wedding hall, stood next to the bamboo forest, facing the ground covered with shredded snow and was lost for a long time. The night before we got married, To Nhuoc Huyen came to see me alone.
