Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — Reborn as a Divine Doctor, I Make Jia Thien Kim Pay the Price
Three days later. I finally waited for the person I was waiting for — Bui Tuan's mother, Mrs. Bui. She only brought along a maid and concubine. Bui Tuan did not appear. I breathed a sigh of relief. Now is not the time to face him. In my previous life, after marrying Bui Tuan, I learned that Mrs. Bui always suffered from headaches. Every time an attack occurs, it makes a big noise. At that time, I heard people talk about her symptoms. Carefully wrote the prescription and told the servants to pick up the medicine. But as soon as Mrs. Bui heard the medicine I gave her, she immediately ordered someone to throw it away. Still grumbling and blaming Bui Tuan:
“He's a blind person, I can't even cure his illness, so he pretended to be a doctor examining people's diseases.”
"Who knows what thoughts are in his heart."
Feng shui circulates. Now, in return, she actively prays for me. Please let me heal her.

“Since the day the lady prescribed it, I have tried a dose.”
“Unexpectedly, that night the headache disappeared, and I slept straight until morning.”
Old lady Bui gently took my hand.
"Miss Kim Nghi is truly a miracle worker in spring."
I smiled and replied.
"It's still the old lady who exalted me too much. This is a natural person, blessed by the grace of heaven."
She listened and felt cool. Trust me even more. Turning to speak to the maid next to him:
“I keep seeing that Miss Kim Nghi looks very gentle, as if we have known her for a long time.”
The flattering lady followed suit:
“The lady and the old lady are both people with Bodhisattva hearts, so naturally they look alike.”
Another maid quietly added:
"Why do I keep seeing that the ends of your eyes and eyebrows resemble the young lady's elder brother..."
The young lady in their words, of course, is Tham Phu who is about to come through the door. In my childhood, I had little contact with Mrs. Bui. So many years have passed, and she doesn't recognize me, and I don't find it strange. Mrs. Bui did not hear this sentence. Instead, I remember something else. She took out an invitation card and gave it to me:
"I have mentioned the lady to Tuan Nhi many times. He said he must find an opportunity to personally say thank you to the lady."
"In a few days it will be her wedding day. The lady is considered half of my benefactor, she must definitely come."
I gently rubbed the gold-pressed wedding card. Suddenly I remembered my previous life when Bui Tuan and I became friends. At that time, Tham Phu pretended to be dead, blaming all the blame on me. No one has the heart to hold a wedding. No invitations, no bride price, no dowry. They didn't let me wear Tham Phu's wedding dress. I had to temporarily put on a half-finished, hand-sewn outfit. A small palanquin was brought straight in through the back door of the Bui family. I nodded in acceptance.
“I will definitely come.”
Of course it has to come. I don't appear. So how should we continue singing this play? Tham Phu. You should pay your debt. That night, I went to find Ta Vo Nhai to discuss business. He's been a bit strange these past few days. Seems very busy. It seems like he's avoiding me again. But in the long hallway. Suddenly someone called me and asked for directions.
"Sorry to bother you, may I ask..."
The moment I heard that voice. I suddenly stopped walking. Why did Bui Tuan appear here?!

I stood with my back to him. Heard footsteps gradually approaching come close. Bui Tuan's voice is gentle, true to the standards of a humble gentleman. Absolutely no coldness like it did to me in my previous life.
"Sorry, I came to look for you but got lost."
"I don't know if the lady might be upset, could you take me to see Lord Ta?"
My heart is pounding. Taking a deep breath, just as he was about to walk away - Ta Vo Nhai suddenly appeared. He reached out and hugged my shoulders. Pull me into your arms. Use a cloak to completely cover my figure. Blocking Bui Tuan's gaze.
"I wonder who this lady is...? It seems like the relationship with Lord Ta is not superficial at all."
It's like realizing my lack of naturalness. Ta Vo Nhai pressed my shoulder tightly. From the way he dressed, it seemed like he was comforting my feelings. He ignored that question. Why did Bui Tuan come here so late at night? I snuggled close to his chest. Hearing Bui Tuan respectfully, he responded with a few polite words. People in the community all rumored that Ta Vo Nhai was the most cruel and heartless person. But the reigning Saint uses him extremely highly. He is like the sharpest sword. Just fight there and win all the battles. So standing in front of him, Bui Tuan is just the bottom. Finally, he got to the main point.
“Tomorrow is the day this mandarin gets married, I hope Lord Ta can spend a little more time to come by then.”
It turns out, Bui Tuan personally ran here to deliver the invitation. Wait for the person to leave. Ta Vo Nhai conveniently threw the card far away. It's like throwing away something unlucky. He rolled his eyes and looked at me:
“Seeing your ex-fiance, what are you hiding from?”
I'm a little confused. How does this sound? … Sour and jealous? I shook my head. Suppress that strange thought.
“I just don't want the plan to be revealed too soon.”
“Tomorrow's wedding banquet, will you go?”
Ta Vo Nhai lowered his head to read the document. As if he didn't hear my question, he didn't say a word.
