Chapter 3 — In rebirth, I stole the merit to save the princess, I turned around to save the prince

"I see you're so pitiful, hey, this brooch is a reward for you. Don't say that you've prospered and don't remember me."

I received the brooch, my fingertips gently caressing the pearl on the brooch. Seeing that, disdain appeared in Tham Van Nhu's eyes.

I burst out laughing. The goat fat jade block on this brooch is unusually white, with absolutely no hint of pale yellow. Although the surface is smooth, when touched, it does not feel warm or smooth. This goat fat jade is basically a fake. In my previous life, when I was with Ly Mong Uyen, she also gave me many fake gifts like that. At that time I was both happy and scared. Since I was young, I liked to dress simply, but Ly Mong Uyen kept forcing me to wear silk and brocade clothes and the gold and silver jewels she gave me. On the outside, we are dressed as splendidly as bright flowers. But in reality, the Van Cam brocade on her body is fake, and the jewelry on her body is also fake. Every day I wear those cheap awards, standing in the middle of a group of noble ladies, letting them silently laugh, mock and reject me behind my back. Over time, after seeing so many truly rare treasures on Ly Mong Uyen's body, I also developed the ability to distinguish between real and fake items. Looking at Tham Van Nhu's proud appearance in front of me, I glanced meaningfully at the fake Van Cam on her body, but said nothing. If she likes it, then let her continue to be pleased. I put the brooch away, thinking that I would conveniently throw it away when I went out later, when I heard Tham Van Nhu ask dissatisfiedly:

"That's right, when will you finally return to Van district? It's been so long since the entrance exam ended, why are you still staying in the capital and refusing to leave?"

As if suddenly thinking of something, Tham Van Nhu immediately looked at me warily.

"You're not jealous of me, are you planning to stay and steal my credit? Tham Thinh Truc, I'm telling you, as a person you have to know your identity and don't always think of deviant things."

The person who is plotting and scheming is the one who is right. I silently criticize in my heart. It seems that even though Tham Van Nhu took the opportunity to save Ly Mong Uyen in this life, she still doesn't feel secure about me, afraid that something bad will happen. Then I have to stay, leaving her in fear every day. What's more, I haven't seen with my own eyes what those scum have to pay, how can I leave so easily? I collected my thoughts and replied:

"Sister, I intend to wait for the wound on my face to heal before returning. I have written a letter to my father, who has already sent someone to the capital to pick me up. It will probably come in a few days, and then I will leave."

Over the past few days, the redness and swelling on my face has decreased a lot. Although there are still some red streaks, at least the original appearance can be seen. Hearing me say that, Tham Van Nhu felt at ease.

"That's good. Just as the weather has been uncomfortably hot these past few days, the Princess was planning to take me to Thien Duyet mountain village to escape the heat. Anyway, you're about to return, so I reluctantly took you on a trip. I'll let you enjoy one more time before leaving. Maybe the Princess is in a good mood and will even reward you with a few things. But after returning, you won't have another chance like that in your life."

I frowned slightly, instinctively intending to refuse. Every year Ly Mong Uyen leads People come to Thien Duyet mountain village to relax and have fun. A group of descendants of a wealthy family gathering together will certainly not be able to avoid wild games. I don't want to get involved. But when I thought about it, on the way to Thien Duyet mountain site, I would pass Ho Quoc Pagoda, so I changed my mind and agreed to go with them. I remember in my previous life, that person was assassinated at Ho Quoc Pagoda. A few days later, Tham Van Nhu took me with him to Thien Duyet mountain site. A group of noble children and grandchildren are holding a banquet. During the party, I always followed Tham Van Nhu. She ordered me from one thing to another, sometimes asking me to pour tea, sometimes asking me to peel walnuts for her, clearly treating me as her maid.
