Chapter 4 — Kim Nhat Huu Nghi

"That day, after the lady prescribed it, I tried using a dose." "Unexpectedly, I no longer had a headache at night, and slept straight until morning." Old Mrs. Bui enthusiastically pulled my hand. "Miss Kim Nghi is truly a miracle worker in spring." I smiled and replied: "The old lady has praised me too much. This is all thanks to the good people and the heavenly generals, blessed by God." She sounded very happy. Trust me even more. Turning to say to the maid next to her: "I always feel that this Miss Kim Nghi looks very familiar, as if we've known her for a long time." The maid immediately chimed in: "Miss Kim Nghi and the old lady are both people with Bodhisattva minds, of course they will be the same." Another person interjected in a low voice: "Why do I think your appearance is a bit like your brother's young lady..." The young lady in their words, of course, was Tham Phu who was about to marry into the house. When I was young, I didn't have much contact with Mrs. Bui. So many years have passed, it's not surprising that she doesn't recognize me. Mrs. Bui did not hear that sentence. On the contrary, I remember something else. She gave me a card: "I have mentioned you to Bui Tuan many times. He also said he wanted to find a chance to thank you personally." "In a few days it will be his big wedding day. You are considered half of my benefactor, you must come." I caressed the gold-plated invitation card. Suddenly I remembered my previous life when I became friends with Bui Tuan. At that time, Tham Phu died, blaming all the sins on me. No one has their heart set on the wedding anymore. There was no invitation, no bride price, and no dowry. They didn't let me wear Tham Phu's uniform. I could only wear the tuxedo that I had unfinishedly sewn by myself and then take a small palanquin to the back door of the Bui family... I nodded in agreement. "I will come." Of course I must come. If I don't show up. How can this play continue? Tham Phu. You should pay your debt. In the evening, I went to find Ta Vo Nhai to discuss the matter. He's been a bit strange these past few days. Seems very busy. It's like he's avoiding me. But when passing through the hallway. Suddenly someone called back asking for directions. "Miss, please..." Right at the moment I heard that voice. I suddenly stopped walking. Why did Bui Tuan appear here?! … I turned my back to him. Hear footsteps gradually approaching. Bui Tuan's voice is as gentle as jade, like a humble gentleman. Completely different from the coldness towards me in my previous life. "Sorry, I came to look for someone but got lost." "I wonder if I can trouble you to take me to see Lord Ta?" My heart beat faster. I took a deep breath and was about to quickly leave when Ta Vo Nhai suddenly appeared. He put his hand around my shoulder. Pull me into your arms. Use a cloak to cover your body. Completely blocking Bui Tuan's eyes. "I wonder who this lady is? It seems like the relationship with Lord Ta is not ordinary." Perhaps realizing my unnaturalness. Ta Vo Nhai held my shoulder as if to reassure my emotions. He directly ignored that question. Instead, ask Bui Tuan why he came here so late. I approached his chest. Listen to Bui Tuan's respectful response and say a few polite words. It is rumored on the street that Ta Vo Nhai is a cruel and heartless person. But the current saint uses him especially. He is like the sharpest blade. Where the tip of the knife passes, nothing can stop it. So when standing before him, Bui Tuan was in a weak position. Finally, we got to the main story. "Tomorrow is my wedding day, I hope Lord Ta can attend then." It turned out that Bui Tuan himself came to give him the wedding day. Wait for people to leave. Ta Vo Nhai conveniently threw the card far away. Like something really unlucky. He looked up at me: "What are you avoiding when you see your ex-fiance?" I was a little confused

understand. Why does this sound like… …jealousy? I shook my head. Forcing himself to suppress that strange thought. "I just don't want to let the plan reveal itself too soon." "Tomorrow's wedding banquet, will you go?" He didn't seem to hear me and didn't respond. I thought for a moment, he has a lot of work to do, so he probably doesn't have any free time. Besides, whether you go or not doesn't make any difference. So I didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left. … The big wedding day. I was just getting ready to go out the door. Ta Vo Nhai's bodyguard called me over. "Miss Kim Nghi, our lord told me that you must ride in the same car as him." Behind, Ta Vo Nhai slowly walked forward. Put on my head a canopy with a curtain. "If I have the opportunity to see the unlucky Tham Xa, how could I be absent?" That's right. I understood, nodded, and didn't think too much anymore. In my heart I was just calculating what was about to happen. Coming to Bui Phu, everywhere was crowded with people. I wear a curtain, it's inconvenient to walk. But Ta Vo Nhai is by my side. Where he passed. Everyone automatically moved out of the way. Just in time, the Tham family's bridal party arrived. I stood in the middle of the crowd watching from afar. The group of horse-drawn carriages was huge and extremely bustling. Tham Phu wears a red veil and a gorgeous dress. Bui Tuan personally helped him down the palanquin. The person next to him exclaimed in surprise: "I heard that that wedding dress was sewn by forty-nine beautiful ladies who stayed up all night." "Every gold thread is studded with jewels, weighing several pounds!" Truly extremely luxurious. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Ta Vo Nhai calling a secret guard, not knowing what he was instructing. In front of the door is a pot of coal. According to the rules, the bride must walk through. Implied to dispel misfortunes and relieve limitations. Tham Phu lifted her skirt. Just lifting one leg... Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "The dress is on fire!" Sure enough, the hem of Tham Phu's dress burst into flames. She was so scared that she lost her expression and screamed loudly: "Come here quickly! Quickly put out the fire!"
