Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Zijuan and Xueyan lay on the wall and listened. They heard shouting from next door.

They didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the shouting from next door was so miserable that they wanted to go out and take a look.

The two of them quietly walked to the house opposite, and through the window, they saw a woman lying on the ground.

Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was disheveled, and her body was covered with scars from being whipped.

She kept shouting, crying, and yelling for help.

Zijuan looked around and saw that there was no one around. The room was not locked, so she went in with Xueyan.

"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you? Can you please stop screaming? Why did they beat you?" Zijuan asked softly, with a trace of pity in her eyes.

The woman raised her head and wiped her tears.

Beneath the messy hair was a dull and helpless look.

"You are, you are, you are Zijuan?" The woman looked at Zijuan in surprise. She could hardly believe her eyes.

"Zijuan, Xueyan, I am Yun'er, I am Xiangyun." The woman was crying uncontrollably.

"Miss Yun, is it really you?"

Xueyan was like she had discovered a new world. After she finished speaking, she and Zijuan helped Yun'er up and let her lie down on the bed.

Zijuan winked at Xueyan, saying that this was not the time to talk. They could only help Yun'er wash her body, change her into clean clothes, and bring her some food from their room.

"Listen to me, Miss Yun, there are spies everywhere here. Xueyan and I can't stay here for too long. You wait for us in the house. We will come to find you at night.

Remember, stop yelling and be obedient." Zijuan said, then took Xueyan back to the room.

After the two returned to the room, they couldn't calm down for a long time.

They really couldn't imagine that they would meet Xiangyun here.

That’s Shi Xiangyun, the eldest daughter of the Shi family, one of the four great families.

No one knows what she went through or why she entered the Drunken Red Mansion.

Zijuan and Xueyan originally wanted to escape in the next few days, but seeing Shi Xiangyun's situation, they thought about waiting and seeing if they could take Xiangyun away from this place with them.

Late at night, Zijuan and Xueyan saw that everyone was asleep, so they quietly came to Xiangyun.

"Miss Yun? Aren't you married? Why are you here?" Zijuan asked in a low voice.

“My uncle arranged for me to marry a rich man.

Unfortunately, my father-in-law became obsessed with wealth and accepted bribes after becoming an official, and my husband's family was confiscated by the court." Xiangyun said this, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Although my father-in-law is a terrible official, my husband is a rare good husband. He loves me and I love him. We have never had a quarrel, and he never has any affairs with other women.

I had originally thought of living an ordinary life with him, but he fell ill. The year after he passed away, my father-in-law was reported for corruption, his property was confiscated, all the men in the family were exiled, and the women were forced to become courtesans.

As Xiangyun spoke, she took out a jade pendant and a gold hairpin from her underwear pocket.

She put the jade pendant in Zijuan's hand and cried, "My dear Zijuan, I am different from you. I am a courtesan, a fate I can never escape in my lifetime, let alone redeem myself.

This is a token of love my husband gave me before he died. Please keep it for me, I’m afraid I might lose it one day.”

Zijuan took the jade pendant and the gold hairpin and told Xiangyun: "You must live well. She and Xueyan will find a way to rescue him."

Xiangyun seemed to have thought of something and choked up, saying, "Why are you two here?"

Zijuan told Xiangyun that Daiyu came back to life, returned to Suzhou in a coffin, and then disappeared again.

She said, "We went to the temple to look for Master Lu Fan and stayed there for a while. Then someone knocked us unconscious and brought us here. But we still don't know where Miss Lin is."

"Where is Sister Lin? I miss you and Brother Bao so much. I don't know if we will see each other again one day." Xiangyun said sadly.

"You don't know, they asked me to pick up a customer, a particularly fat Hu man. I was scared and didn't want to accept him, so they beat me to death... Xiangyun was about to have a breakdown.

Zijuan and Xueyan kept comforting Xiangyun and asked her to think positively.

"I never thought I would see you again. Even if I die now, I would be willing.

It’s a pity that I can’t see Sister Lin. I miss Sister Lin so much... Xiangyun murmured.

Zijuan and Xueyan saw that it was getting late and were afraid of being seen if they stayed any longer, so they coaxed Xiangyun to sleep and left.

When the two returned to their residence, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Miss Lin has no money, has never met outsiders, doesn't know how to wash clothes or cook, and has been used to being served since she was a child.

Will she be sold like Miss Yun? If so, how will she survive?"

The more they thought about it, the more frightened and worried they became, fearing that Daiyu would end up in the same situation as Xiangyun.

The two of them thought they must think of a way to quickly escape with Xiangyun.

That's right, escape, you must escape, even if you have to search every corner of the world to find Miss Lin.

It is said that Xiao Luzi, following the prince's order, rode at full speed all the way and soon arrived at Daiyu's place.

"Little monkey, you still remember to come." Grandma Cai said to Xiao Luzi with a smile.

"Mother-in-law, guess what our prince brought us?" Xiao Luzi looked proud.

The old woman couldn't guess, so she smiled and said, "Are you supposed to take us all to the capital?" Granny Cai teased deliberately.

As Xiao Luzi got off the carriage, he said, "Mother-in-law, call those two girls over. The prince asked me to buy a lot of supplies, and I rushed to deliver them to you."

"Good mother-in-law, don't tell the girl that I'm here. I'll go in and give her a surprise."

When Grandma Cai saw that Xiao Luzi had indeed brought a lot of things, she called Xiao Ling and Xiao Wan to help move the things.

"Monkey boy, we have done something important now. Knowing that the young lady is weak, we have sent you all the good things." Granny Cai said, "Park the carriage and stay here for two days before going to serve the prince."

"Mother-in-law, you are so old, we live in your house, and you help take care of the girl and the two girls.

This is the change the prince gave you. It's not much, but it's enough for you to get by." Xiao Luzi said as he handed the bag of change to Granny Cai.

Granny Cai refused, saying that the prince had brought enough things with him last time and that there was no need to spend any money.

Xiao Luzi stuffed the silver into Grandma Cai's hand with great force.

Seeing that it was getting late, Grandma Cai asked the two maids to help pack up while she went to the kitchen to cook.

"Miss, Miss, you are much better now. The prince asked me to come and see you." Xiao Luzi walked happily into Daiyu's room.

"Xiao Luzi, why are you here? Where is your prince?" When Daiyu saw Xiao Luzi appear, she thought the prince had followed her.

"There are many things in our mansion waiting for the prince to deal with. In addition, the court intends to let the prince participate in politics. He cannot come for a while. I was afraid that the young lady would worry, so I was sent here." Xiao Luzi said with a smile.

"Oh, congratulations, Your Majesty." Daiyu was a little disappointed. She realized that she missed the prince.

“Haha, our prince knew that Miss Lin missed him.

That's why I was sent here. The prince was right. The girl is really jealous." Hahaha, Xiao Luzi laughed.

"You little monkey, you dare to tease a girl, you have grown up."

When Granny Cai heard Xiao Luzi teasing Miss Lin in the girl's room, she came in, grabbed his ear and was about to beat him.

"Xiao Luzi bowed to Miss Lin, saying, 'Good girl, please say something nice about such a good girl.

"Tell my mother-in-law to let me go. I won't dare tease the girl again. Our prince thinks about her day and night." Xiao Luzi blinked, raised his eyebrows, and said mischievously.

Daiyu burst out laughing, and Granny Cai let go of her hand.

Xiao Luzi shouted loudly like a monkey, "Our Miss Lin is the best girl in the world and the prince's favorite woman."

Granny Cai held out her hand, muttering, "You little monkey, you're talking nonsense again. If you want a beating, just tell me."

Lin Daiyu laughed so hard that she couldn't even stand up straight.
