Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 29: The Prefect's Jail

"My poor Ayi, why are you so unlucky?

How could such a good person just leave like that?"

"It's you. Did you give Su Yi some medicine when you pulled him? Otherwise, how could he die after just a few whippings?"

"What did you do to him? My husband passed away, leaving me and my son behind. How are we, an orphan and a widow, going to survive?" Su Yi's wife Li Feier burst into tears again.

She held Daiyu's hand tightly and insisted that she was the one who harmed Su Yi.

"I was the one who beat Yi'er, and the accident was my fault. Miss Lin wanted to help, and you can't accuse a good person." Grandma Cai said crying.

"You are still protecting her. I could tell the moment I walked in that you wanted to adopt her as your goddaughter.

Then follow her to enjoy the glory and wealth, you want to leave the house, the title deed, and the money to her, right?" Li Feier shouted hysterically.

Daiyu cried and said, "How could I give him medicine? I just watched Master Su get beaten.

I was afraid that he couldn't bear it, so I went up and helped him.

I really didn’t do anything!”

At this moment, the group of people who came to collect debts yesterday appeared again.

What was different from yesterday was that today they had a banner in their hands with the words "Su Yi, a shameless deadbeat who refuses to pay his debts" written on it in large letters.

Not only that, they even brought trumpets, suonas and other musical instruments, and played them outside the yard, while shouting and yelling, making people feel annoyed and confused.

Seeing that the gate was not closed, the group rushed in directly.

However, at this moment, the doctor in the room suddenly stood up and announced: "Mr. Su is no longer alive. Let's prepare for his funeral." After that, he turned and left.

Hearing this, the debt collectors were stunned. Without hesitation, they threw down their banners and loudspeakers and ran away.

Granny Cai wanted to keep Su Yi's body in burial so that he could go on his journey in peace.

But his wife just wanted to report to the police and ask a coroner to perform an autopsy.

“My child, I can see that you are really willing to live with my son.

It was all his own fault that things had turned out this way.

The house deeds and the money are all left to you when I die." Granny Cai said to Li Feier while crying.

"Grandma, is my father really gone? Grandma, I want my father." Su Zhe said crying.

Granny Cai pulled the child up, wiped the child's tears, and said distressedly: "Don't worry, child, grandma will definitely help you, an orphan and a widow, and raise you into an adult."

Li Feier suddenly went crazy, yelling and screaming, pulling Daiyu's hand and wanting to report to the police. She was sure that it was Daiyu who harmed Su Yi.

Daiyu was panicked. She had never seen such a scene since she was a child.

I clearly wanted to pull Su Yi up, but why was he so vulnerable and disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Daiyu cried and said, "I didn't hurt him, I really didn't hurt him. I just held his hand, and did nothing else."

Li Feier still reported the matter to the authorities, and Su Yi's body was temporarily placed in the back room of the government office.

She asked someone to write a petition and took Daiyu to the government office.

Granny Cai wanted to stop her, but she was completely mad at that moment and no one could persuade her.

The Suzhou prefect took over the case and looked carefully at the two people in the court.

The prefect said, "The plaintiff is Li Fei'er, and the defendant is Miss Lin."

After listening to Li Feier's statement, the prefect felt that the case was a bit strange, so he wanted to wait for the coroner to perform an autopsy before making a judgment, and temporarily detained Daiyu.

Daiyu stood in the courtroom in a daze. She couldn't hear what everyone was saying. This was the first time she had appeared in such a place since she was a child, and she was the defendant.

When the officers took her to prison, she finally realized that this was not a dream.

She looked at the people in the prison quietly and couldn't help but think of the prince.

After such a long time, the prince must have forgotten me. Daiyu quietly cried in a corner.

I didn't kill anyone, I didn't hurt him.

Prince, where are you? Can you come and save me? She fell asleep while crying.

The next morning, Granny Cai suppressed her grief and asked Xiaowan to take some money and go to the capital to find the prince and tell him about Daiyu to see if he could help.

"Good, good, very good. I told you that Your Highness is a young talent, but you didn't listen.

Look how well-planned this program is. The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is just over half a month away, and the Emperor will surely be delighted to see it." Lord Li from the Ministry of Rites was full of praise for the prince.

The officials from the Ministry of Rites took the program and looked at it carefully:

First, there were opera performances, including classic plays such as "Five Daughters Paying Homage to Their Parents", "The Female Prime Minister" and "Mu Guiying Takes Command".

Next came song and dance performances, such as "Longing", "Lantern Festival" and the powerful "Qin Wang Pozhen Dance".

There are also folk tunes from all over the country, such as the cheerful "Fengyang Flower Drum", the graceful "Jiangnan is Beautiful", etc.

At the beginning of the performance, a performance of "Spring River Moon Night" was arranged by Guzheng, Xiao and Pipa. The melodious music created a mysterious, ancient and beautiful atmosphere.

The last part was even more unique, with the palace maids dressed in gorgeous costumes from various dynasties to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, symbolizing the prosperity and longevity of our Qing Dynasty.

Everyone is looking forward to the last show.

The prince smiled and said: This is just my suggestion. I still hope everyone will come up with their own program list.

Let’s screen together and let the fittest survive.

Including the selection of the stage location and the coordination of the dance music. Please feel free to share any good suggestions you have."

Lord Wang stroked his beard and said slowly, "My Lords, I do have a suggestion.

We might as well go to the people and find a hundred highly respected and venerable people, and ask them to write the word "Shou" in the font they are good at.

These 'Shou' characters will eventually be pieced together to form a giant 'Shou' character and presented to the Empress Dowager."

When Lord Wang said this, everyone applauded.

The head of the Ministry of Rites smiled and said, "Everyone's suggestions are very good. I will record your programs, and then we will quickly rehearse and strive to give the Queen Mother a special birthday."

Seeing that the prince had not returned home yet, the eldest wife quietly called Xiao Quanzi to the secret room.

"Xiao Quanzi, how are the arrangements for Suzhou in Jiangnan going?" asked the eldest wife.

"My lord, everything has been arranged. I heard that the girl has been put in jail." Xiao Quanzi said respectfully.

"Oh, really? I guess they will definitely send someone over there, so you can spend some money to get her out.

If she does the prince a favor, he will definitely go back to find her.

You take care of everything, and when the prince returns, offer to go with him.

I'll try to get Xiaoluzi to go out and do some purchasing." The eldest wife said with a smile.

Xiao Quanzi said, "Don't worry, Master. We have eradicated the problem completely."

"That's good. Don't reveal any flaws. The prince doesn't know about it yet. Go and take care of it. Let her suffer a little in there."

After saying this, the eldest wife gave Xiao Quanzi a few silver notes and told him that the rest would be his after the job was done.

Xiao Quanzi left happily.
