Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

"Is she pretty? What do you think of today's girl? Is she pretty?

Our girls in Zuihonglou can't say they are the best.

But at least it’s something you can show off.”

As Mother Qian spoke, she opened the girl's veil.

"This girl is only 18 years old, wearing a pink gauze dress, with an oval face, distant mountain eyebrows, autumn water eyes, and a face full of peach blossoms."

She is the eldest daughter of the Jinling Shi family, Shi Xiangyun.

But she was already accustomed to such scenes.

She struggled, but every time she struggled she was beaten.

This is exactly the case of a girl from a noble family who ends up stuck in the mud.

It’s a pity that the gold and jade are so precious, they are gone in a day.

"I'll ask you one last time, is there anyone who wants to bid? If not, just follow that gentleman." Mother Qian said with a smile.

"I'll pay 100 taels, and this girl will follow me tonight.

Mother Qian, this girl is mine tonight."

I saw an old man in his sixties, squinting his eyes, stroking his gray beard, and laughing in the crowd.

"This beautiful girl is mine, Mama Qian. When will I, the bridegroom, enter the bridal chamber?"

Mother Qian walked up to the old man with a smile, took his hand and said, "Don't worry, sir. Good things take time. I'll come and call you after I've decorated the room."

"Haha..." the old man laughed and said, "I never thought that at my age, I could still spend the wedding night with a beautiful girl." After that, he went for a walk in the yard behind Zuihonglou.

After a while, everyone left Zuihonglou, and Mother Qian asked two maids to take Xiangyun away.

Xiangyun returned to her room numbly, changed her clothes, wiped off the powder on her face, looked at the moon in front of the window, and fell into deep thought.

If she left, where could she go? She was a government prostitute, and even if she escaped to the ends of the earth, she would be chased back by the soldiers.

If she doesn't leave and continues to be tortured like this, she will go crazy.

Zijuan said she would find a way to take her away, but it was too difficult.

The more Xiangyun thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Brother Bao, Sister Lin, I miss you so much.

After a while, Qian's mother came over.

She took Xiangyun's hand and said:

"You think you're still the eldest daughter of the Shi family. Your father-in-law got into trouble, and no one from your family except your uncle is helping you.

But your uncle no longer cares about your life or death in order to protect himself. I advise you to think it over carefully.

This old man is a wealthy local man. It is your blessing that he likes you.

If you work hard and ask him to give me more money, I can fool the court.

I can’t openly be your concubine, but being a mistress outside is better than staying in my Drunken Red Mansion.”

Mother Qian looked at Xiangyun flatteringly and kept urging her to think it over carefully.

As soon as Mother Qian left, Zijuan and Xueyan hurried over and asked anxiously, "Miss Yun, are you okay? I hope nothing happens to you." Zijuan said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. At least I can get through tonight first." After saying this, Xiangyun began to draw her eyebrows and eyes, and put on makeup.

Zijuan and Xueyan were waiting on the side, worried that something might happen to Xiangyun.

After a while, someone from Qian's mother's side came over and took Xiangyun into a room.

Xiangyun was wearing a headscarf and a red gauze skirt.

She has experienced too many such situations herself.

"Oh, let me see, let me see if my little darling is pretty. I spent a lot of money to buy you."

The old man smiled and lifted Xiangyun's headscarf.

"She's so pretty, so pretty, this girl is so pretty!"

The old man looked at Xiangyun, picked up the wine pot on the table, poured two glasses of wine, and asked Xiangyun to drink from the cup with him.

Xiangyun refused to drink, and the old man actually said: "You must think I'm too old. Don't be afraid, baby. I'll feed you and I love you."

After saying that, he actually put the wine glass to Xiangyun's lips. Xiangyun closed her mouth tightly and refused to drink.

At this time, the old man drank the wine into his own mouth and fed it to Xiangyun.

Xiangyun completely collapsed, her face full of disgust and disgust.

She sat on the edge of the bed like a puppet, motionless.

Seeing Xiangyun's reluctance, the old man picked her up and walked around the room, saying with a smile: "If you follow me, I will guarantee you prosperity and wealth, and no one will bully you."

Xiangyun was still like a piece of wood, lying expressionless in the old man's arms.

Xiangyun tried her best to protect her clothes, but the old man was too strong, and soon Xiangyun's body was exposed in front of the old man.

She had no chance to resist. Although the old man was over 60 years old, he was still strong and healthy.

Xiangyun only felt nauseous and uncomfortable.

Xiangyun fainted and just wanted it to be over quickly so she could go back to her room. She wanted Zijuan to find a way to rescue her.

When Xiangyun woke up, it was already late at night. No one knew how she came back or who sent her back.

"Miss Yun, are you awake? Are you still in pain? Do you want to eat something?" Zijuan and Xueyan asked worriedly.

Xiangyun burst into tears and said, "Zijuan, if we can escape, we will go to the ends of the earth to find Daiyu and live a good life together."

Zijuan wiped Xiangyun's tears and felt very distressed when looking at Xiangyun.

Xiangyun pulled the curtains in the room and took off her shirt. There were many wounds on her snow-white skin.

Chest, thighs, shoulders, lower abdomen...

Zijuan and Xueyan were stunned and couldn't utter a word.

"When will the physical torture and mental torment end?" Xiangyun said angrily.

Xueyan suddenly remembered that she had a bottle of medicine for scrapes. It was for treating injuries from falls. The mint in the ointment was cooling and soothing. She thought it would be a good idea to try it on a place like this. She then applied it to Xiangyun.

Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them went to bed.

"Miss, Miss, Miss Lin, what's wrong with you?

Girl, wake up, please get up and talk."

Xiaoling shook Daiyu vigorously, and Xiaowan kept pressing Daiyu's Ren Zhong and rubbing her chest.

"What's wrong, Miss Lin? I heard you shouting outside before I even reached the yard." Grandma Cai hurried into Daiyu's room.

"We didn't know. Grandma, you went to the market, and we came back from the fields early and saw the girl lying on the ground motionless.

We thought the girl had a heat stroke, so we gave her water and pinched her philtrum, but it didn’t help.”

The two girls said anxiously: "Is the girl unconscious?"

"This little guy just left, and no one has passed the message to the prince. It's no big deal to call a doctor and get some medicine, but I, an old woman, am worried." After saying this, Granny Cai picked up Daiyu's arm and felt her pulse.

"Hey, how could you fall unconscious? What should I do? Girl, please don't be in trouble. If you are, how can I live? You are my life.

I don’t have any daughters, I treat you as my own. I’m old, how can I bear this?”

Grandma Cai cried so hard that it was heartbreaking.

Granny Cai looked at the white fungus and lotus seed soup in the bowl as if she had discovered something, and asked loudly: "Who made the white fungus soup?"

"Mother-in-law, my daughter said this morning that she wanted to drink Tremella soup, so I made it for her before I went to work in the fields," said Xiao Lingzi.

"Xiao Wan, go get the doctor. Xiao Lingzi and I will stay at home to look after the girl." Grandma Cai said anxiously.

"Baoyu, Baoyu, you are so cruel.

Old lady, old lady, please make the decision for me!

I want to marry Baoyu. I am your niece. Do you like Baochai or me?

Baoyu, Zijuan, where are you?"

Daiyu lay drowsy on the bed, unconscious and having nightmares.
