Chapter 5 — Remarrying to a Simple Man

Ky Sinh Ninh has begun to waver. Seeing that, I immediately took the opportunity to gently seduce:

"Big Brother Ky, you can rest assured. After we get married, I will never force you to do anything you don't want to do. Please slowly adapt. Only when you volunteer will we be considered true husband and wife."

Ky Sinh Ninh looked at me blankly. The phoenix's eyes are as deep as autumn water shadows, making people unable to look away. In his previous life, he never got married until he died. At this time, little brother Ky Sinh Ninh suddenly interrupted:

"Brother, your sister-in-law is so beautiful, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and promise!"

The little sister covered her mouth and secretly laughed. But I know that Ky Sinh Ninh is a stubborn person and cannot be rushed. I then changed the subject, letting him relax a bit:

"It's already late, I'm a little hungry, I want to stay and eat a rough meal with you brothers and sisters."

Ky Sinh Ninh certainly did not refuse:

“Okay.”

You can see that he is truly a good person. Ky Sinh Ninh entered the kitchen. He quickly cleaned the big fish, and even went to the garden to pluck some vegetables for a side dish. The movements were proficient, one look and one could tell that he often went to the kitchen himself many times a day. Being stared at by my eyes, Ky Sinh Ninh stiffened. The muscles near his shoulder blades trembled slightly. He quickly turned his back, awkwardly scratched his head, then quickly slipped into the room to put on a coat. Then he quietly went into the kitchen to cook, not daring to glance at me once. However, I felt that he was always quietly paying attention to my every move. When the plate of braised fish was served, the scent spread throughout the room, truly making people hungry. My Tham family originally ran a restaurant business, and grew up in the middle of hundreds of delicious restaurants from childhood. But I have to admit, Ky Sinh Ninh's skills are really brilliant. Although the dish is simple, it has all the flavors and colors. Ky Sinh Ninh secretly glanced at me, as if afraid of my criticism. I smiled and casually complimented:

"Big Brother Ky, you are so amazing. The chef who guards our restaurant is not as skilled as you. A man like you will definitely have many ladies who admire him. Luckily, I knew you early on."

Hearing that, Ky Sinh Ninh's face suddenly turned red, as if she had just held a hot chili in her mouth, red to the tips of her ears.

At this time, Ky Ninh Sinh's little sister interrupted:

"Next door, there is Ms. Truong Nhi A who likes brother A very much, but brother A said, you still have to take care of me and second brother, you can't get married, and you can't involve others."

Ky Ninh Sinh leaned over, carefully wiped the bowl and chopsticks clean, then found a rough porcelain cup and made me a cup of hot tea. He poured out all the best things in the house. I looked and suddenly felt a little emotional. Through Ky Ninh Sinh's appearance before my eyes, I suddenly remembered my previous life - a great general named Ky. That year, when reinforcements arrived, he knelt on one knee, used his long sword to support himself, and refused to fall. The body was stabbed several times, but still did not utter a single moan. That is truly the essence of a hero. I asked my nanny to sit down and have a meal with me. Ky Ninh Sinh felt a bit unnatural. I took the initiative to give him a piece of fish, smiled and said:

"Big brother Ky, you should eat more. I don't hide anything from you, since I was a child, I have followed my father in business, and my eyesight at seeing people has never been wrong. I'm sure, in the future, big brother Ky will be the best. destined to be the most prominent person in the world. Whoever can marry you is her blessing. I will not implicate anyone.”

Didn't Tran Canh, who read the books of saints and sages, calmly accept my help before? As for Ky Ninh Sinh, even though he was so poor, he still had no dreams of glory and wealth. In my heart, compared to the other two, I have clearly distinguished who is heavy and who is light. In fact, he did not need to return the items Tran Canh left behind. I don't intend to get involved either. Merchants are used to weighing and measuring, know how to give up and keep. If we should let go, we won't try to hold on. Even if it hurts, it is only temporary and cannot take my life. Ky Ninh Sinh suddenly stopped and looked up at me. Immediately after that, he began coughing violently. I quickly stood up and patted his back gently. The more he patted, the harder he coughed. Even the neck and ears were red. As expected, he's too naive and can't stand a word of teasing. Ky Ninh Sinh stammered:

"Thank you... Miss Tham, let me take care of it myself."

I didn't force him, so I gently sat back in the old position. Lately it's been raining and windy, looking outside, it's starting to get dark again. I deliberately sipped slowly and waited for time. Looks like I chose a good day to go out today. Not long after, it started to rain heavily. The village roads were muddy, making it difficult for carriages to roll. I glanced at the door, my face innocent and spoke loudly:

“It's raining, what should I do? I'm just a weak woman, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to return to the city in time. I can only... stay here for one night."

Ky Ninh Sinh: “…” The nanny and I glanced at each other and immediately gave instructions. The nanny went to instruct the driver and servants to stay in the carriage. When we go out, we have prepared food and clean water, enough for one night. Ky Ninh Sinh did not say much, but quickly started cleaning up the house and preparing a place for guests to stay. The house is small but neat and clean. I look at his hands skillfully mending blankets and mats, his skills are even better than those of seamstresses. While sewing, I unconsciously used a needle to scratch my head - this action I had seen before in the midwives in the palace. He has such a strong body, yet he has such a gentle and caring appearance. I suddenly felt like time stood still. Reminiscing about my past life - Although Tran Canh treated me gently, there was always something missing between the two of us. No passion, no friendship, conversations are just like flowing water and clouds. But I still think to myself, that relationship is already good. At night, I lay in a faded blanket, quietly hearing the sound of the wooden bed creaking in the small room. It must have been Ky Ninh Sinh who turned over. He was definitely restless, and afraid of disturbing others, he moved slowly. The nanny leaned close to my ear and whispered:

“Miss, this old slave has looked closely, this gentleman named Ky is thoughtful and meticulous, knows how to take care of others. Besides the poor family background, there is really nothing to blame."

I blinked my eyes and deliberately raised my voice:

"I like big brother Ky."

Early the next morning, when I walked out, I saw Ky Ninh Sinh's eyes were blue and black. Apparently he had been tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep.

Facing Ky Sinh Ninh's dark eyes, I frankly threatened:

“I stayed at your house all night. If you still refuse to agree now I'm afraid it will ruin my reputation."

Ky Sinh Ninh opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he was not angry. He was holding a ceramic bowl in his hand, inside were two freshly boiled eggs, probably preparing for me to make breakfast. On one side, the younger brother and younger sister of the Ky family stared wide-eyed at the two eggs, swallowing their saliva continuously. I guess, maybe these are the only two eggs in their house. But the two little girls just watched silently, not daring to fight. Because, as long as the big brother hasn't said a word, no one dares to touch it. I glanced at the ancestral tablets being worshiped on the table, then walked over, clasped my hands in respect, and bowed:

“Father and mother, I am A Duyet of the Tham family. From today onwards, please allow me to take your children with me. I will definitely take good care of them. Waiting for the wedding day, I will return to offer incense and worship."

Ky Sinh Ninh finally stopped refusing. His eyes turned red, he brought the egg bowl in front of me, his voice was hoarse:

"It's still hot, eat quickly."

I smiled, reached out my hand to receive it, and then divided the eggs between the two little babies:

“My younger brother and sister are growing up and need to eat well to be healthy. In the future, when you return to the Tham family, you will also be my family members."

The Ky family's three brothers and sisters don't have much wealth, one person packs a small bag, and moving the house is as easy as doing it. Before leaving, Ky Sinh Ninh looked back at that simple grass house. I reached out and deliberately touched his left arm lightly - a strong, strong arm. In this life, he should not break his arm. He still needs to become a general. But I will protect him. Ky Sinh Ninh thought I was taking advantage, his body stiffened, the muscles under his shirt seemed to twitch slightly, but he did not dodge, letting me caress his arm. I couldn't help but laugh softly.

“Big Brother Ky, don't be afraid. I told you before — only when you fully accept me will we be considered husband and wife.”

Ky Sinh Ninh pursed her lips and did not answer, her face turned red, like a ripe peach in the sun. When we returned to the Tham family, my parents were finally able to take a closer look at Ky Sinh Ninh's face and evaluate it several times from top to bottom, and their attitude was no longer as hateful as before. The mother laughed heartily:

"Not bad, with a figure like this, future nutrition will definitely be good!"

The father immediately coughed to cover up:

"Cough... cough... Since that's the case, my Tham family will immediately prepare for a big wedding."

The longer it lasts, the more detrimental it will be to the Tham family's reputation. Ky Sinh Ninh was momentarily surprised, but quickly regained his dignity and bowed with his fist:

“Little Te paid his respects to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. There is nothing in return for the small sacrifice, but in the future you will show your filial piety."

My little brother, Tham Luong, is only seven years old this year, lacking a playmate, so he dragged the two little children of the Ky family to run around the yard, laughing and talking loudly, immediately becoming close like a family. Seeing that, Ky Sinh Ninh also slightly relaxed. Before getting married, I personally measured and made shoes for him and prepared to sew a few new sets of clothes. Ky Sinh Ninh was as stiff as a wooden statue, not daring to move even a fraction. By the time he finished measuring, there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and his handsome face was as red as peach. I couldn't help it, I stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Also to He soon got used to being close. In my previous life, I got married once, so how can I still maintain my shy girlish appearance? Ky Sinh Ninh was stunned, his expression changed several times in an instant: first he was surprised, then flustered, then happy, and finally trying not to show it too openly. That emotional scene was no different from a chaotic battle.

I took Ky Ninh Sinh to the street, wanting to buy some necessary items for the big wedding. Unexpectedly, I bumped into an old acquaintance. Next to Tran Canh, is a pretty, petite woman — Cui Tri Y. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with affection. Tran Canh gently asked:

"Ah Y, are you tired? Do you want to find some tea to rest for a while?"

Toi Tri Y shyly nodded:

“Still a thoughtful senior brother.”

I was stunned for a moment and suddenly remembered an old story. My name is Tham Nguyet, nickname Nhu Y. In my previous life, after getting married for a few years, one time during lovemaking, Tran Canh called me "A Y". At that time, I naively thought, he was calling my nickname. But it turns out... He called - it was Cui Tri Y. Thoi Tri Y is the daughter of teacher Tran Canh.
