Chapter 3 — Truc Ma risked his life to protect the noble lady. After being reborn, I stood coldly watching

I looked into the bronze mirror, looking at the sixteen year old girl in the mirror. The eyebrows at the corner of her eyes still have the youthful look of a young girl, but her eyes are already old.

“Ngan Chu, how do you think Young Master Qin treats me?”

The little maid bit her lip, not daring to speak.

“Just say it, it's okay.”

“Young Master Qin, he… has only Miss Tham in his eyes.” Ngan Chu's voice became smaller and smaller: "Every time I met you, I was cold and indifferent. Last time at the flower party, Miss Tham's dress was stained with tea. He was so impatient that he personally got on the carriage to get her a coat, but that day she coughed so badly, he didn't even ask a question."

Even the maid could see clearly. It's just me, deceiving myself and others my whole life.

“So tell me, if the injured person were me today, would Young Master Qin risk his life to save me?”

Ngan Chu said nothing more. We all know the answer.

"That's why..." I gently combed my long hair, "each person has their own predestined dharma, and their own fate."

“We just need to take good care of ourselves.”

As soon as the words ended, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside. Butler Tran Ba's voice rang out outside the door, carrying panic:

"Madam, miss, it's not over! Something happened to the Qin family!"

In the lobby, Uncle Tran panted continuously.

"The old man just returned from the yamen, saying that a big incident happened at Lac Nhan slope! Mountain bandits blocked the way to plunder, the young master of the Tan family and the young lady of the Tran Quoc Cong residence were attacked, the young master of Tan was seriously injured in order to save the young lady of Tham!"

The teacup in mother's hand dropped with a "bang" sound and fell onto the table.

“Are… are you still alive?”

"If you're still alive, you're still alive, but..." Uncle Tran lowered his voice, "I heard that he was slashed with more than ten knives, his right leg is disabled, his left arm... is also disabled. The doctor said that from now on, he's afraid he won't be able to stand up again."

The mother hugged her chest, her face pale. I quietly listened to everything, not even a single ripple arose in my heart. Exactly like the previous life. Even the injury did not deviate one bit.

“So what about Miss Tham?” I asked.

"Miss Tham is fine, just scared for a moment. She has now been picked up by Tran Quoc Cong Palace." Uncle Tran said while secretly looking at me: "The old man told the young man to come back and report the news, saying that the lady and the young lady... should prepare themselves mentally first."

Prepare what? Of course, we are preparing to deal with the possibility that the Tan family may come to our door to discuss marriage. Or from kissing. In my previous life, after Tan Mac encountered an incident on the third day, Mrs. Tan came. She cried until her heart broke, saying that I was kind, saying that now that Tan Mac had become like this, she did not dare to ruin my life, but if I was willing to marry, the Tan family would definitely not mistreat me. Before my parents could speak, I knelt down first.

“I wish.”

What about this life?

“A Nguyen.” Mother grabbed my hand, her fingertips cold: "This... what do you think?"

I looked at the worry and fear in my mother's eyes and gently patted the back of her hand.

“Mother, there is no need to rush.”

"Let's wait until the Qin family arrives and then talk."

Three days later, Lady Qin indeed arrived. Don't come alone. He also carried a cart full of offerings and a tired, haggard face. In just three days, she seemed to have aged At the age of ten, even his sideburns showed white strands. As soon as she entered the door, she grabbed my mother's hand, and before she could say anything, tears fell.

“Sister, I really don't have the face to come see you guys anymore, but Mac Nhi is… he…”

She cried until she could barely breathe. Mother quickly helped her sit down and called the maid to serve tea. I stood quietly to the side, like an outsider. Mrs. Tan cried for a long time, then used a towel to wipe her tears, her red eyes looking at me.

"A Nguyen, auntie knows that saying these words is making you suffer. But right now, Mac Nhi... sigh, her whole life seems to have been destroyed. The marriage between the two of you since childhood was originally our Qin family climbing high with you..."

“Madam, you've said too much.” I softly interrupted her words: "Marriage is a major matter that is the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker. You are still young, you don't understand these things, everything is decided by your parents."
