Chapter 5 — Truc Ma risked his life to protect the noble lady. After being reborn, I stood coldly watching

That night, Tan Mac had a high fever and continued to talk nonsense, sometimes calling "Thanh Lan", sometimes shouting "kill me". The Qin family invited the doctor all night long to treat him, tormenting him until dawn, before finally he regained his composure. All of these stories were heard by Ngan Chu. After the little girl finished speaking, she looked at me cautiously:

“Miss, tell me… Is Young Master Qin pitiful?”

I was embroidering a handkerchief, when I heard that the needle stopped slightly.

"Poor."

“But it's not because I hurt him.” I continued to embroider the twin lotus flowers: "It was his own choice."

"But right now everyone outside is saying that Young Master Qin suffered a double blow, his fiancee broke up, and the people in his heart used money to insult him, so he fell ill."

"They also said... said that you and Miss Tham were the last two straws that crushed him."

I burst out laughing.

“Ngan Chu, do you believe it?”

"Then I ask you, if the disabled person were me today, would Tan Mac marry me?"

Ngan Chu said nothing more.

"If the disabled person was Tham Thanh Lan, would Tan Mac criticize her?"

The answer is too clear.

"That's why..." I cut off the embroidery thread, raised the scarf to look at it in the light: "There has never been such a thing as deep and meaningful love, it's just whether it's worth it or not."

"I broke up because he wasn't worth spending my life on."

"Tham Thanh Lan gave the money because he wasn't worth it for her to sacrifice her marriage."

“No one is wrong.”

"The one who was wrong was him. He overestimated his own weight in the hearts of others."

As soon as the words ended, footsteps were heard outside. The mother hurriedly walked in, her face looking a bit strange:

“A Nguyen, the National Duke's Palace has sent someone here.”

"OH?" I put down the towel: "Is it from a kiss?"

"Not." Mother lowered her voice, "I came to say goodbye."

“What are you talking about?”

"Let's talk personally between you and the crown prince of Vinh Xuong Marquis."

The teacup in my hand shook slightly. The person who came was the most powerful woman next to Lady Quoc Cong, surnamed Ho. As soon as he entered the door, he laughed until his face was full of wrinkles, grabbed my hand and refused to let go:

"Oh my, is this Miss Tran? Indeed, her appearance is outstanding, her temperament is extraordinary, no wonder our lady keeps praising her."

I withdrew my hand, lowered my eyes and bowed:

“Mom is too complimented.”

“Not too much praise, not too much praise.” Mother Ho smiled while evaluating me from top to bottom, her eyes as if she were valuing an item, "You're sixteen this year, aren't you? Are you settled yet?"

The mother next to her forced a smile:

"Someone was joking, before this young lady... had a marriage contract with the young master of the Qin family."

“Oh, that.” Ho Ma Ma waved her hand, her expression not paying much attention:

“Isn't it canceled already?”

“It's good to cancel.”

"That Qin family child is now like this. Whoever marries him is unlucky. The girl who can get out in time is the smart one."

The words were too blunt and sounded extremely harsh. The mother's face was a bit stiff. On the contrary, I just smiled faintly:

“Mom came here today, surely it's not just to praise me for being smart, right?”

“Of course not.” Mother Ho came a little closer and lowered her voice: "Today, I'm here to tell you a good relationship on behalf of our lady."

“The Crown Prince of Vinh Xuong Marquis, do you know?”

“I heard over a little bit.”

“So it's okay.” Mother Ho clapped her hands and laughed.

"The prince is eighteen years old this year, has not yet married a wife, and his academic qualifications are all first class."

"A few days ago at the flower party, I only met the lady once. When I came back, I couldn't forget it. I beg our lady to act as a matchmaker."

I raised the tea cup and slowly took a sip.

“Mom, you were joking. What kind of temple is Vinh Xuong Hau's palace? It's not like someone like me can climb high."

“Miss, don't look down on yourself like that.” Ho Ma Ma laughed even deeper:

"Even though the Venerable is only a fifth-rank official, the Tran family is a wealthy family and the family style is good."

"The girl is kind and understanding. The prince likes this type of girl the most."

Hien Hui understands things. These four words sound so familiar.
