Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 13 Days in the Courtyard

Since the prince returned to Beijing, Daiyu has lived with the old lady who owns the courtyard.

The old lady is over 60 years old, but she is still energetic and in good health.

She had no daughter and had been a widow for many years. Now that she had a beautiful, intelligent girl like Daiyu to accompany her, her heart was filled with joy.

She told Daiyu that her surname was Cai and she could call her Grandma Cai.

Ever since her husband passed away, Grandma Cai's son pursued fame and fortune and became a son-in-law of a wealthy family, and they no longer had any contact.

Although her late husband was not from a wealthy family, he left her a dozen houses and a small piece of land, which she could live happily on her own.

The two maids bought for Daiyu that day: Xiaoling was sold when she was young. She was transferred from one family to another, but everyone disliked her and sold her again.

Xiaowan was originally a girl from a wealthy family. Unfortunately, her parents' superior committed a crime and her family was implicated. The whole family was sent to prison. Someone spent a lot of money to rescue Xiaowan from prison.

But as a young girl with no house or land, she thought of selling herself to a wealthy family as a maid, so that at least she could solve the problem of food and clothing.

Who would have thought that they were bought by Xiaoluzi and became Daiyu's maids.

Daiyu was kind to others and never treated her servants harshly. She even treated them as sisters, and the two were very grateful.

Daiyu couldn't help feeling sympathetic when she heard about everyone's experiences.

However, she didn't even know her own name, who her parents were, whether she had any brothers or sisters, or even why she had lost her memory.

Grandma Cai thought to herself that there were suddenly three more girls in the family. Although they were all from poor families, they were all smart and good-looking, and their lives would gradually get better in the future.

During the day, Granny Cai would take her two little maids to plant vegetables and water flowers, and then rush home early to make lunch for Daiyu.

Daiyu, on the other hand, felt that such a life was too boring and tedious, so she asked two maids to teach her how to embroider at night.

In the evening, after everyone had finished their work, Daiyu would sit alone in the yard and continue embroidering.

While embroidering, I can also appreciate the moon and stars in the sky, so I don’t feel lonely.

Daiyu wanted to embroider a bellyband for the prince, but her mind was blank and she forgot how to embroider it.

The maids found it amusing to see Daiyu's clumsy needlework.

But despite this, Daiyu learned quickly and finished the embroidery in just a few days.

Daiyu showed the bellyband to Granny Cai. Granny Cai took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "Let me see what these skillful hands are made of. It took me several days to embroider it so vividly."

Daiyu lowered her head embarrassedly.

"That's right, our girl is so lucky. Look, mother-in-law, this is two dragons playing with a pearl.

I told you to use black thread, but you used gold thread on this moon-white background, which made it even more vivid. The eyes look alive." Xiaowan said with a smile.

"Huh?" Daiyu frowned, rubbed her temples gently with her fingers, and her eyes revealed a hint of doubt and confusion.

"What's going on? I have a vague image in my mind, as if I once embroidered a sachet... and I was accompanied by two maids.

"But I can't remember who this embroidery was for? Who are those two girls?" she murmured softly.

Xiaoling, who was standing by, heard this and looked at Daiyu in surprise: "Miss, what are you talking about? Have you ever embroidered a sachet before? Do you remember when it happened?"

Daiyu slowly shook her head, her expression becoming increasingly confused: "I only remember that I did embroider, and I also embroidered purses.

But as to who it was embroidered for and where it was embroidered, I can’t remember any of the details.

It's really strange, why would such a memory appear?"

She sighed and looked into the distance helplessly, wondering why she had such strange memories, but when she thought carefully, she couldn't remember anything.

To ease the awkwardness, Granny Cai said with a smile, "My dear, the prince will be back soon. He will definitely be very happy to see the bellyband you embroidered."

When mentioning the prince, Daiyu couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, he'll be back soon.

Yeah, who are those two girls?"

It is said that Zijuan and Xueyan were lying on the bed that night, quietly recalling the time they spent with Daiyu.

Just as the two were immersed in beautiful memories, they suddenly smelled a strange smell and then lost consciousness.

When they woke up again, they found themselves tied up and tied to a chair with their mouths blocked, unable to speak or call for help.

The two were terrified, but they were unable to escape because their bodies were tied up tightly.

Just then, two burly men appeared at the door. They were wearing black robes and had cold expressions on their faces.

One of the men, a tall and strong man, stared at the two girls with cold eyes.

Then he said coldly: "Are you two finally awake?"

Another shorter man said with a lewd smile, "You two girls are so pretty! It would be a shame if they didn't come out to entertain guests with such beautiful looks."

At this time, they took out the things stuffed in Zijuan and Xueyan's mouths.

Before the two could say anything, they were interrupted by the lewd laughter of the men.

"Tell me, ladies, do you want to accompany our guests on your own initiative? Or do you want us to do it for you?" A man raised his eyebrows and said with a sly smile.

Zijuan and Xueyan looked at the malicious men in front of them in horror, their hearts filled with fear.

Zijuan thought: What kind of place is this? They asked us to pick up customers. Could it be that we were kidnapped to a brothel?

"Two big brothers, we are girls from good families. I beg you to let us go. We don't know how to entertain customers. Please!" Zijuan pleaded bitterly.

However, the men ignored her pleas and laughed even more triumphantly.

Zijuan clenched her fists tightly. She knew she couldn't show weakness now and had to find a way to protect herself and Xueyan.

So, she took a deep breath and tried to make her voice loud and calm: "Don't mess around! My young lady belongs to the Jia family. If you dare to disrespect us, the Jia family will never let you go!"

Hearing this, the two men were stunned at first, but soon showed disdainful expressions.

One of the men sneered: "Hmph, what's the Jia Mansion? Even if you are the ladies of the Jia Mansion, don't even think about escaping from our clutches today!" As he said that, he took a step forward and reached out to grab Zijuan.

Zijuan dodged sideways nimbly, picked up the teapot on the table and threw it at the man.

The teapot drew an arc in the air and hit the man's head accurately.

The man screamed and fell to the ground, holding his forehead. Seeing this, the other man suddenly became angry and rushed towards Zijuan.

Xueyan took the opportunity to grab a chair from the side and threw it hard at the other man.

There was a loud "bang" and the man fell to the ground.

Zijuan and Xueyan took the opportunity to run out of the room, hoping to escape.

However, the corridor was already full of the two men's accomplices, and they had no way to escape.

Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Zijuan and Xueyan's hearts were in their throats...
