Chapter 4 — Truc Ma risked his life to protect the noble lady. After being reborn, I stood coldly watching

Lady Qin was stunned. She probably didn't expect me to be so calm. In my previous life, I threw myself into her arms, cried and said:

"I don't care what brother Mac turns into, I must marry him."

Now that I think about it, how stupid it was.

“A Nguyen really understands things.” Mrs. Tan forced herself to smile twice, then turned to look at my mother:

"Sister, I won't hide it from you two anymore, Mac Nhi's injury... the doctor has already said it, from now on I'm afraid I won't be able to leave my care."

“Eating, drinking, and hygiene must be attended to by servants.”

“Even though our Qin family is not rich or noble, we will absolutely not mistreat A Nguyen.”

"If she is willing to marry me, I will slowly hand over all the management of the palace to her in the future. It's just..."

She stopped for a moment, her voice getting lower and lower:

"It's just that Mac Nhi's temper isn't very good right now. Breaking things and cursing at others is normal."

"The other day he said he wanted to die. We guarded him day and night, not daring to take our eyes off him."

"If A Nguyen marries, I'm afraid... I will have to suffer a lot of inconvenience."

This word sounds flexible. But the direct translation is: My son is disabled and has gone crazy, the daughter you marry is to serve as a maid, and has to endure scolding and beatings. You guys see for yourself. The mother's hand hidden in her sleeve trembled slightly. I know you want to refuse. But those refusals cannot be said out loud. No matter how far the Qin family has fallen, they were once the general's palace, and a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Our Tran family cannot offend.

“Uncle.” I took a step forward and spoke in a soft voice: "Brother Mac's injury, has the royal physician in the palace come to see?"

Lady Tan's eyes turned red again:

“I've seen it, everyone says… there's no other way.”

“What about sister Tham?” I blinked, my face filled with innocence: "Brother Mac was injured because he saved her, Tran Quoc Cong Palace... didn't show any signs?"

Lady Qin's face instantly stiffened. The hall was eerily quiet. Mother fiercely glared at me, signaling me to shut up. Mrs. Qin's face changed from blue to white, her lips trembled a few times, and after a long time she could barely squeeze out a sentence:

"That child Thanh Lan... was also very scared. She has been sick for the past few days. Tran Quoc Cong's residence sent someone to bring some tonic medicine."

In her previous life, Tham Thanh Lan didn't just give her medicine. She also sent a letter, with tear stains on it, saying:

"This kindness will be difficult to repay in a lifetime. I just hope brother Mac recovers soon."

Tan Mac was so moved that he kept that letter close to his body until the day he died. But other than that, what about? There's nothing left. From then on, the door of the Quoc Cong palace was no longer opened for Tan Mac again.

“So that's it.” I nodded, showing appropriate concern: "It's good that Sister Tham is okay. Brother Mac risked his life to save her. If something happens to her again, Brother Mac will definitely be very heartbroken."

Lady Qin's smile was even more unsightly than crying. I continued stabbing one more time:

"That's right, a few days ago I heard that the Quoc Cong's palace seemed to be friendly with the Vinh Xuong Marquis's palace? The prince of the Vinh Xuong Marquis's palace is handsome and polite, standing next to sister Tham. It's really a good match.”

“Zhang ——”

The tea cup in Lady Qin's hand fell hard to the ground. Hot water splashed all over her skirt, but she couldn't feel it at all.

“Consult…propose?” Her voice trembled: "A Nguyen, these kinds of words cannot be said nonsense..."

"I've only heard other people say random things, maybe they're just rumors." I obediently smiled: "Uncle, don't take it to heart."

Lady Qin could no longer sit still. She quickly stood up, even saying goodbye was confusing and unclear. When I saw her out, I stood behind my mother, looking at her almost staggering back, only a piece of coldness remained in my heart. You just can't stand it anymore? The good game is still behind. As soon as the Qin family carriage left, my mother immediately pulled me back to the room.

“What you just said was intentional, right?”

“My daughter just cares about brother Mac and sister Tham.” I put on an innocent face.
