Chapter 3 — Remarrying to a Simple Man
4
That night, it rained heavily all night. I dream and dream, I can't sleep, I can't wake up, I can't clearly distinguish which is my previous life and which is my dream. In my dream, I saw the day Tran Canh died. He sacrificed his life for public service, dying on the way to eliminate bandits. When the royal soldiers and horses found his body, in his arms he was still holding a kidnapped official's child. Thanks to him, that child was able to regain his life. Tran Canh has an indifferent personality and treats people coldly and aloof. He has never had any butterflies around him, and to me he is only polite and bland. Even with the two children I gave birth to, he did not show much kindness. I never thought that a person like him would be willing to give up his life for a strange child. The next morning, I was shaken awake by An Lac:
"Miss! That ungrateful guy is at the door!"
I was stunned for a moment, then I understood that the "unfaithful name" in An Lac's mouth was referring to Tran Canh. I quickly dressed, washed my face, and went out to meet him once. There are things that have already been decided, but I want to ask one thing clearly. When he met Tran Canh, he was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe and had long lost his poor appearance. This person clasped his hands behind his back and stood straight; Although he is still young, his whole body shows the spirit of being a mandarin. Sure enough, he was also reincarnated. We step closer. Tran Canh saw me, bowed slightly to bow, and calmly opened his mouth:
"Miss Shen, these are things that you gave me before. Now I have returned them intact. And this is a little scrap of silver, as compensation for you."
I glanced at the table: the precious office, rare ancient books, even the white jade paperweight... were all gifts I had wholeheartedly chosen to give him. I smiled faintly and asked:
“Why?”
In his previous life, he accepted my request, got married to me, and was still as gentle as before. Even though there were no sworn vows, there has never been any discord. The Tham family tried their best to help him, spreading silver all over the roads, clearing the path of thorns. He also plays the role of an exemplary gentleman, never being negligent. I really don't understand why he became so indifferent when he was reborn. Looking at that familiar yet strange face, I forced myself to reach out, just wanting to touch the young man who used to be my husband. That story really has nothing to do with wind and moon. Just, a little nostalgia. Unexpectedly, Tran Canh coldly waved his hand to dismiss. The ground is wet from the rain, the green moss is slippery. I lost my momentum and fell towards the Taihu rock. Just when I thought my head would burst and bleed, my belt suddenly tightened. I was hugged by people. Looking back, it was Ky Sinh Ninh. He changed into clean clothes, washed off all the dust from his body, revealing his face... extremely handsome. Unlike Tran Canh's elegant, scholarly appearance, Ky Sinh Ninh has a strong and courageous look, imbued with the flavor of the mountains and forests. I quickly grabbed the hem of his shirt, but his body was too solid, my hand could only grasp a bit of nothingness. Seeing me standing firm, Ky Sinh Ninh immediately let go and took a step back to maintain his courtesy:
“Miss Shen, please be careful.”
Not only me, even Tran Canh was slightly stunned. He recognized Ky Sinh Ninh. In his previous life, he was an official in the same dynasty. Later, Ky Sinh Ninh became a famous general in the world, Sao Tran Scene can not remember?
“You are…!”
Tran Canh's voice lowered, his eyes glanced back and forth between me and Ky Sinh Ninh, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes:
“The person who received the embroidery yesterday, was it him?”
I couldn't help but laugh softly:
"Tran Canh, if the embroidery ball had fallen on someone else yesterday, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been so angry?"
Tran Canh pursed his lips, but in the end did not say anything more. He bowed slightly and said:
"Miss Shen, no matter what, I still wish you peace. It's just... some people's lives are short."
After speaking, he turned and left. Next to him, Ky Sinh Ninh listened confusedly. But he is very good at comforting people, saying seriously:
"That person seems to be the capital's new professor? Is it your old friend? Miss Tham, you... please be more generous."

At this moment, compared to everything else, I'm even more concerned about one thing. I ask:
“Big Brother Ky, do you have any wishes?”
He blurted out and calmly replied:
“Eat well, drink enough, that's enough.”
So what? I thought he would want to make a glorious name. Just thinking about him having to risk his life on the battlefield for a little dry food, I can't bear it. Only half a day after I was reborn, I suddenly discovered that the husband I longed for day and night in my previous life, in comparison... was not as good as this man in front of me. Are we too easy to change? We recommend:
"If you don't want to get married, the Tham family won't force you. But... the Tham family can invite you to work."
Ky Ninh Sinh smiled, revealing even white teeth:
“Miss Tham, no need to pity me.”
Still a bigot. I said again leisurely:
"Not out of pity for you. But what about your relatives? Don't they need a salary?"
Finally, a flicker of fluctuation appeared in Ky Ninh Sinh's eyes. But he still didn't nod, just held his fist and said:
"Thank you for your good intentions. If I have a need in the future, I will personally go to the Tham family to apply for a job."
I smiled:
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Ky Ninh Sinh was stunned, tilted his face slightly, as if he didn't dare to face me. The tall man suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and replied in a low voice:
“Um.”
After that, he left.
