Chapter 5 — I Actively Yield My Husband To The Benefactor Who Saved His Life

That morning, Thanh Hoa walked in carrying tea, with a little gloating look on his face as he looked at someone in trouble.

“Miss, Mrs. Bui is here.”

"Mrs. Bui. She arrived early in the morning, and is currently waiting in the lobby. Mrs. Bui didn't see her, so she made her sit and wait."

I put down the book in my hand and stood up. When she arrived at the lobby, Mrs. Bui waited for more than half an hour. As soon as she saw me, she immediately stood up, her face both guilty and impatient.

“Van Duong, what happened that day…”

“Madam, you don't need to blame yourself, it's not your fault.”

Mrs. Bui's eyes immediately turned red.

"I can't stop Hanh Chi, I'm useless as a mother."

"You're not useless, you just don't remember anymore."

I poured a cup of tea and gave it to her.

“Did you come here today to see Mrs. Thai?”

Mrs. Bui nodded then shook her head again.

"I came to admit my mistake. That year, Lady Thai entrusted little Van Duong to the Bui family. I promised to take care of you for the rest of your life. But now..."

She couldn't speak anymore. The Thai lady walked out of the back hall with her cane and stopped at the door frame. Mrs. Bui quickly stood up and bowed.

“Lady Thai.”

The Thai lady evaluated her from top to bottom.

“What are you doing here?”

“I came to apologize to Van Duong.”

“So tell me, how do you plan to compensate?”

Mrs. Bui opened her mouth but could not answer. The Thai lady sat down in the chair, the cane in her hand pounding the ground.

"You young master of the Bui family knelt in front of our Tran family's door for three days and three nights that year, saying that in this life he would not marry anyone else other than my grandmother. I saw that he was sincere, so I nodded."

“Now he brought back a woman of unknown origin, and wants to throw my grandmother into the lake?”

Mrs. Bui bowed her head, unable to say a word of explanation. The Thai lady coldly said 'hmph'.

"Go back and tell your young master who has lost his memory. It's okay if he doesn't remember, I'll remember for him. What he owes to my granddaughter, the Tran family will figure it out with him piece by piece."

After Mrs. Bui left, Mrs. Thai leaned back on the chair and gently closed her eyes.

“Van Duong, the girl next to you said that you have been secretly investigating that woman named To?”

I glanced at Thanh Hoa. Thanh Hoa immediately retracted her neck, eyes looking at nose, nose looking at heart.

“Grandmother, I am indeed investigating a few things.”

“What has been investigated?”

I thought for a moment and then simply told the story of the drug residue. After hearing this, Mrs. Thai opened her eyes.

"What a coincidence. On the way here from the South, I passed by Truc Khe town so I took the opportunity to inquire about To Nhuoc Huyen's background."

I immediately sat up straight.

“What did Grandmother investigate?”

Lady Thai looked at me.

“She is not an ordinary medicine picker.”

This time, Lady Thai came from the South to the capital. While passing through Truc Khe town, the manager accompanying her stopped at a local tea shop to sit and ask questions. In such a small place, just a few cups of wine and meat can be found out.

"To Nhuoc Huyen does indeed come from a family of medicine pickers, but three years ago her family had already gone into decline. Her father was gambling and had debts everywhere, the whole family was forced to the point of being broke and had to move. Go to an abandoned house outside town to stay.”

Lady Thai slowly turned the Buddha necklace in her hand.

"A daughter of a gambler's family, so poor that she suddenly brought home a man wearing exquisite armor one day."

“She told the outside that she carried that person back from the snow.”

Lady Thai looked at me.

“Can such a weak woman carry a grown man back from a mountain road ten miles away?”

I shook my head. This is also the point that I have always suspected...but in my previous life, I was ignorant and did not pay attention.

"The manager talked a lot and asked a few more questions. An old hunter said that that day he had seen a military camp remote on the mountain path."

"Two soldiers got out of the car, carried a seriously injured military officer, placed it on the side of the road, and quickly left."

“Did they leave that person on the side of the road?”

“I heard that at that time, Bac Cuong was defeated, and the remnants of the army were still not done taking care of themselves. Being able to get the main general out of the battlefield was already an effort. To Nhuoc Huyen was just a passerby who picked it up, it cannot be considered a life-saving gift, at most it can only be counted as a tribute."

My fingers slowly tightened. In my previous life, I did not know these things at all. In my previous life, I only knew that To Nhuoc Huyen said that she carried Bui Hanh Chi back from the snow, everyone believed it.
