Chapter 5 — Thanh Ninh, Mind No Longer Sour and Spicy

16 The day passed as usual. Tieu Tieu was brewing medicine and advised me: "Miss, you have been calculating the accounts for three consecutive days." I played the abacus: "There's a lot of numbers." The medicinal scent slowly spreads. Tieu Tieu coughed softly twice: "It seems he went to the black market to make sandbags." My fingertips have a dull pain. Just indifferently said yes. Tieu Tieu sighed: "I heard that the eyebrow bone was broken several times." The wind turns the pages of the book. The more I calculate this book, the more confusing it becomes. How greedy. Half a chest of gold is not enough for him to live well. When you regain consciousness. I was standing under the arena. There are as many people as a congregation. I said softly: "I just want my gold back." Tieu Tieu smiled wickedly: "But miss, why did you bring medicine?" Luckily, cheers rang out, covering my confusion. Little Asiatic Victory is very beautiful. He panted, his eyes shining. Full of joy. Until you see me. The corners of his lips stiffened, tightening into a straight line. I put down the medicine and said softly: "Let's go." But people are too passionate. Tieu Tieu was pushed back, only having time to shout: "Miss!" I originally intended to respond loudly to reassure myself. But someone pushed me down. Maybe it was due to staying up all night for three days. It's just time again. I can only hold my stomach and squat in a deserted corner. Amidst the sound of chaotic footsteps. The wind suddenly arose. I raised my head. The little boy was gesturing quickly. His forehead was covered in sweat, his lips were even paler than mine. I looked in his direction. Saw blood dripping on the ground. So embarrassed. I forced a smile: "It's okay." The little lips trembled. He slowly squatted in front of me. Red eyes again. 17 In the medical shop. Tieu Tieu's face turned red, her voice lowered: "I already told you." “Miss is not sick.” The little boy just pulled the doctor, impatiently gesturing repeatedly. Tieu Tieu rubbed her forehead, helplessly: "Young lady did not have a miscarriage." “Don't say… nonsense.” The doctor finished checking his pulse and smiled gently: "Don't be in a hurry." “Madam's vitality and blood are exhausted.” “The moon has just arrived, so it's so fierce.” The little hand stopped in mid-air. His earlobe was clearly red, but he still tried to give me the healing medicine. The clouds drifting outside the window gather into brilliant afternoon light. But it was blown away by the wind. Tieu Tieu cursed hoarsely: "You deserve to not have a wife." Tieu Ngau pursed his lips and clenched his hands. I looked at him for a long time. Softly asked: "How do you know I'm pregnant?" The pupil of the small mouth shrinks. He parted his lips. But of course, not even half a word could be uttered. 17 (past life memories) Past life. I once swung a knife and slashed Gu Y Hoan once. When you want to make a second cut. Got kicked out. The dagger fell onto the dry leaves. Makes a crunching sound. Ta Hanh's eyebrows were filled with murderous intent: "That dumb guy just gave you biochemical medicine how many times?" "He's dead, so she's gone crazy like this?" Present. The sky is high and the earth is wide in Chongzhou. Think back to the past. I only have one question left: "Tieu is speechless." “What is biochemical medicine?” His fingers unconsciously twitched. The throat let out a small choking sound. Tieu Tieu asked suspiciously: "Miss, why do you mention that warm palace medicine?" “Could it be that on the way to Chongzhou, I didn't drink enough?” “Are you craving it now?” The wind rose strongly. Make flags fly in front of the medical shop. Tieu Ngau bit her lip but still didn't answer. I leaned closer. Our breaths touched, I repeated softly. “Why do you think I'm pregnant?” Suddenly there was a "pop" outside the door. one hour. A letter fell to the ground. The shopkeeper of the Ta family's pharmacy smiled wryly: "Ha, I came at the wrong time." 18 – Ta Hanh Before Thanh Ninh left. She seemed very happy. I didn't have time to think too much, so I took Y Hoan to the medical clinic. Unexpected. The doctor said the fetus was not stable. But clearly in a past life. When she had a miscarriage, she said that the child was very healthy. Y Hoan leaned against my chest, tears welling up: "A Hanh, I'm scared." I had to pat her back to reassure her. Softly: "Money is not a problem, please prescribe supplements." Don't know why. I suddenly remembered Thanh Ninh's cold eyes, my heart felt slightly confused. Hastily added: "List two parts." The palm of my hand suddenly hurt, as if someone was squeezing it tightly. I bowed my head, seeing Y Hoan's eyes flash with hatred. Just in the blink of an eye. She changed her look to weak and asked softly: "That part, is it just in case?" I pursed my lips and hummed through it. Calculated based on past life time. At this time, Thanh Ninh is three months pregnant. The road to Sung Chau is dangerous. Can't mistreat her. Four months later. Y Hoan's health gradually worsened. All day long she asked me to draw her eyebrows and powder her eyebrows. I also patiently coaxed you. Until today. When looking at her straight eyelashes. Suddenly I remember the itch when Thanh Ninh's eyelashes brushed my palm. While stunned. Y Hoan dropped the tea cup. She blushed and asked me: "Do you regret marrying me?" “Sung Chau is so far away, there are still many bandits.” "Tham Thanh Ninh may not be alive waiting for you." My heart is shocked. Suddenly realized. For the past three months, Thanh Ninh has never sent a letter. There is only a shopkeeper in Sung Chau. Occasionally reply one or two. I put down my brush in annoyance: "How can you be so stubborn?" “Can't stand seeing Thanh Ninh living well?” Co Y Hoan was stunned. Right at that moment. Received two envelopes. I opened a letter from the counterman of the Ta family pharmacy in Chongzhou. The handwriting is careful, but the words are bold. Dare to write: "Second Young Master." “My lady seems to have a new husband.” I calmed down, no longer in the mood to read the second letter, "Prepare the horse." Co Y Hoan grabbed my hand, his eyes fierce: "You want to find Tham Thanh Ninh!" "Impossible!" “Unless I die!” I frowned: "She's about to give birth." “Still want to riot?” She cried tremblingly: "A Hanh, A Hanh..." The sweet, fishy air spread out. The midwife was panicked: "My water broke..." I was a bit stunned. It's unclear how long it's been. Someone put a child in my arms. The midwife said kind words: "Congratulations sir, you are a young lady." The baby looked at me, smiling innocently. My heart suddenly warmed. In this life, Thanh Ninh did not have a miscarriage. Her child was born. Probably as cute as this. Co Y Hoan looked at me and weakly pleaded: "A Hanh, don't leave me behind..." Anyway. She also saved me. In my previous life, I was not allowed to be the main wife and suffered a lot. I'm soft-hearted. You should take her with you.
