Chapter 5 — Nha Hoan Escaped From Second Family

The problem must have been resolved. When the pain made my consciousness blurred, I saw Ta Lan Dinh leading someone from afar to run.

“Thin Tuyet!”

Because I lost too much blood, my whole body felt cold, I trembled and fell into a warm embrace. Ta Lan Dinh carried me back to the palace. His cold fingers pressed on my still bleeding lower abdomen, making me unable to help but twitch. He gently wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.

“If you are seriously injured like that, you must take good care of it.”

The old lady's eyes swept over me and Ta Lan Dinh a few times, finally stopping on Do Cam Duong sitting below.

"Little Tuyet, today I'm in charge. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."

The old lady's meaning was extremely clear. The handkerchief in Do Cam Duong's hand was squeezed tighter and tighter. She stiff-necked and added:

“This time, Thinh Tuyet risked her life to save her grandmother, she really should be rewarded!”

Her dark and cold eyes stuck to his body like maggots to his bones. Ta Lan Dinh leaned slightly, obscuring his eyes. He turned his head to look at the young lady:

“It looks like I'm really going to have another concubine in my room.”

In the midst of the complicated looks of everyone in the room, I bowed to the old lady from afar.

“Please send a servant to serve the young master.”

“Thin Tuyet?”

Ta Lan Dinh suddenly stood up.

“What do you say?”

I bowed once more, saying each word clearly to the old lady:

“Please send a servant to serve the young master.”

The tea cup in the old lady's hand stopped in mid-air. The whole room was so silent, you could hear a pin drop. Ta Lan Dinh walked straight in front of me, grabbed my wrist, and forcibly pulled me up from the ground. The ends of the eyes are long and red.

“You say it again!”

“The maid asks the old lady to grant her grace and let the maid come to serve the young master.”

“Okay! Great!”

He laughed lowly, breaking his favorite jade bone fan.

"I don't know when the maid in my room got hold of big brother."

“Right under my eyelids, how dare you?”

My wrist sent me bone-deep pain. I turned pale, looked straight at him, gritted my teeth and refused to back down.

“Lan Dinh.”

Outside the door came a gentle, gentle voice.

“Let go.”

Ta Tan Tran wore a moonlight white shirt, a thin blanket on his knees, and slowly entered in a wheelchair.

"Big brother? Are you here for this maid?"

Ta Lan Dinh squinted his eyes, his tone was unkind.

"This is a matter in my room, no need for you to worry!"

Ta Tan Tran's eyes fell on my bruised wrist from being squeezed, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"You let go first. She's a woman, she can't stand you treating her like that."

“Can't stand it?”

Ta Lan Dinh suddenly burst out laughing. He bowed his head close to my ear, his breath hot. Cold fingers pressed on my back, slowly sliding down each vertebrae.

"Thin Tuyet, tell my good big brother, can you bear it or not?"

“It's obvious that you're by my side day and night, why can't you stand it when you come to big brother?”

A feeling of overwhelming oppression swept over me. Late at night, he kept me entangled endlessly. During the day, he pressed down and "painted" cold apricot on his back. I was shaking so much I could barely stand.

“That's enough!”

The old lady put the teacup down firmly.

“You two are siblings, why should you fight over a maid!”

“If the girl Tuyet asked, I agreed. Today she came to Tran brother's place."

The smile on Ta Lan Dinh's face stiffened. He let go of me, adjusted his messy shirt, clasped his hands and bowed to the old lady.

"Your Majesty obeys."

When he turned to leave, the hem of his shirt swept over the edge of my skirt.

“Do you think big brother is an honest person? Under that Bodhisattva's skin, what he hides..."

"Aren't you quick to follow?"

Ta Tan Tran interrupted him before he could speak, lightly tapping on the wheelchair armrest. I quickly bowed to the old lady and pushed his wheelchair into the inner courtyard.

Incoming the inner courtyard, I bowed deeply before him.

"Thank you for your acceptance, young master."

He raised his hand to help.

“For coming to my side without sacrificing half your life, aren't you afraid of making the wrong choice?”

“I believe in your dignity. If you really make the wrong choice…”

I pursed my lips.

"Then we can only blame the poor slave."

You can't resent others. He nodded.

“Also a person with opinions. Take good care of yourself in the next few days. Don't worry about other things."

He arranged for me to stay in the Tay dew room. Being stabbed by an arrow, the child naturally couldn't hold it. I placed my hands on my lower abdomen and gently shook my head. Poor child, find a better mother in your next life. I curled up on the bed. Outside the window, the bright moon hung high. Can the moonlight shine on me just once? I raised my hand to push open the flower window and saw Ta Lan Dinh standing under the pear tree in the yard. I don't know how long he stood there, like a cold statue. The moment their eyes met, his lips moved slightly.

"You can't escape."

I was so scared that I stood frozen in place, not reacting for a long time.
