Chapter 6 — Truc Ma risked his life to protect the noble lady. After being reborn, I stood coldly watching

In my previous life, before I married Tan Mac, outsiders also used these words to talk about me. Say I'm kind, say I understand, say I value love and compassion. What then? After that, I served Tan Mac for thirty years, but they said I "brought myself to the door", "lowly", "deserving".

“Mama.” I put down the tea cup and raised my eyes: "Is the Crown Prince of Vinh Xuong Marquis Palace... related to Tran Quoc Cong Palace?"

The smile on Ho Ma Ma's face stiffened for a moment.

“This… is a distant relative.”

"OH." I nodded: "Then shouldn't sister Tham call the prince her cousin?"

“Miss, why are you asking this?”

“I just casually asked a few questions.” I curled my lips and smiled faintly:

"I'm just curious, if the prince and sister Tham were originally relatives, and there were rumors outside that they were getting along, then why didn't you push the boat along to make our relationship even closer... but the prince ignored sister Tham and instead came to propose to me?"

Mother Ho's face began to look a bit unsightly. The mother quickly spoke up to conciliate:

“A Nguyen, don't be rude.”

“It's okay, it's okay.” Mother Ho reluctantly raised the corner of her lips and smiled:

"The girl has a delicate mind, it's normal to think a little too much."

"It's just that fate was determined by heaven. A few days ago, when the prince saw you, it was your blessing."

"Our lady also has good intentions, thinking that the young lady has just divorced, in terms of reputation... after all, it will have some influence. If we can quickly arrange a marriage with the Marquis's residence, then the rumors outside will naturally disappear."

How thoughtful. You still know how to think for me.

“Mom, what you said is right.” I nodded slightly: "It's just that big marriage matters must be decided by the parents. I still need to inform my father and think carefully."

“Of course, of course.” Mother Ho stood up: "Then I will go home first, waiting for good news from you."

After sending Mother Ho away, mother immediately closed the door and quickly pulled my hand:

“A Nguyen, what do you think?”

“It's a trap.”

“The crown prince of Vinh Xuong Marquis is Tham Thanh Lan's distant cousin.” I said slowly:

"A few days ago, Tham Thanh Lan was still 'brought sick to visit' Tan Mac, earning a beautiful name and great love. As soon as she turned around, her cousin came to propose to me. Mother, do you think this is a coincidence?"

"Not long ago, when I still hadn't broken off my engagement with Tan Mac, rumors spread outside that Vinh Xuong Hau's palace was forming a friendship with Tham Thanh Lan. But now, Quoc Cong's palace suddenly abandoned that marriage, turning to cooperate for me with the crown prince of Vinh Xuong Hau's palace. Don't you find it strange?"

Mother was stunned.

“Not only that.” I went to the window and looked at the gloomy sky outside:

"At present, Tham Thanh Lan's reputation is indeed very good, but after all, Tan Mac became disabled in order to save her."

"In the future, if she marries a wealthy woman, it's inevitable that someone will turn back the old story and say she was ungrateful."

"But what if at this time, your cousin marries me - the ex-fiancee who 'wanted to be rich and despised poverty, betrayed his trust and faith'?"

The mother took a sharp breath of cold air.

"What will outsiders say? They will say: Look, even Tan Mac's ex-fiancee rushed to climb another high branch, so What's wrong with Tham Thanh Lan not wanting to marry a disabled person like him?"

“They will also say that the person who truly loves being rich and hates poverty and is ungrateful is Tran Nguyen. At least Tham Thanh Lan still remembers her old love and came to visit Tan Mac when she was sick.

“At that time, you will become a stepping stone for Tham Thanh Lan. The Crown Prince of the Vinh Xuong Marquis married me, not only did he maintain Tham Thanh Lan's reputation, but he also slapped the Qin family's face hard - look, the fiancee that you Qin family considers a treasure, we can take away at will."

“They want to use my marriage to clear a path for Tham Thanh Lan in the future, and want to completely cut off the relationship between her and Tan Mac. Even because of that, the Quoc Cong palace did not hesitate to give up its friendly relationship with Vinh Xuong Marquis palace."

“Kill three birds with one stone.”
