Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

“We are all prisoners, so why are her meals so good?

We are all human beings, why do you give me rotten steamed buns?

Hey, come back, come back and change the steamed buns for me!

I won’t eat this kind of steamed bun!”

Daiyu looked at the rotten steamed buns in front of her and yelled in dissatisfaction.

She leaned half of her body out, waving her hands outside, as if she wanted to eat the jailer.

"Stop shouting. Will anyone pay attention to you even if you yell? It's better to save your energy." The woman opposite took a bite of the steamed bun. He said to Daiyu with a smile.

"Why do I see that the steamed buns you eat are better than mine?" Daiyu said helplessly.

"Here, the first rule of survival is that money makes the world go round. Although I don't eat big fish and meat, my steamed buns and pickles are all good," said the eldest sister.

Daiyu said puzzledly: "I am willing to listen to your advice, elder sister."

"That's right, this isn't the place to be noble or reasonable, here we have to use money to settle things.

"Look around and see if you have any small change on you. You don't need a lot, just enough to make ends meet." Then the elder sister lay down on the straw pile and went to sleep.

Daiyu thought about it and realized that she still had some valuables on her body.

She wanted to give Su Yi those valuables to help him pay off his loan sharks, but she never expected that Li Feier would frame her for killing Su Yi.

And he was caught and thrown into the cell.

"Sister, sister, I still have some worthless jewelry here. How can I negotiate with the jailer?" Daiyu woke up the sister and asked.

"Just give it to him directly when you come to deliver the meal in the evening and slip it quietly into his hand." The eldest sister said impatiently.

Just then, the jailer came to give cakes to a prisoner. The prisoner put his hand on the jailer's shoulder and smiled at him seductively.

The jailer took the opportunity to pinch her, told her to eat the cakes well, and left.

Daiyu was stunned by what she saw, while others seemed to be used to it.

"See? If you don't have money, that's fine too. You can act like a spoiled child and try to please others. Don't disbelieve it, men will fall for it." The eldest sister saw Daiyu's confused face and said, "You are so stupid."

The next day, when the jailer came to deliver food, Daiyu was still served rotten steamed buns.

Just as he finished serving the meal and was about to leave, Daiyu suddenly called him.

"Brother, have you forgotten me? We are from the same hometown."

The jailer came to Daiyu and looked at her in confusion.

"Brother, you forgot that we grew up together when we were young.

We played games together and read together. This jade pendant was given to me by you when you were a child. Come and have a look at it." Daiyu said as she placed the jade pendant in the jailer's hand.

The jailer looked up at Daiyu and immediately thought that the girl was very beautiful, so he returned the jade pendant to Daiyu.

After the jailer left, Daiyu felt uneasy.

She didn't know what the jailer meant, and was more worried about the problem of steamed buns tomorrow.

And the older sister next to me seems to be full of energy every day.

I sleep after eating and spend the rest of the time singing alone.

At the next meal, Daiyu unexpectedly received white steamed buns and stir-fried vegetables.

Daiyu looked at the jailer in disbelief, but he walked away without looking back.

This was the first time in so many days that Daiyu had eaten clean vegetables and snow-white steamed buns.

For the next three days, Daiyu ate clean steamed buns and vegetables for every meal.

Daiyu naively thought that her emotional appeal had worked.

One evening, everyone went out for some fresh air, but Daiyu was left lying alone in her cell.

"Miss Lin, right? Your case needs to be heard in court. The prefect asked me to bring you there." After the jailer said this, he took Daiyu out.

Daiyu followed him into a room.

The jailer told him, "The prefect will be here soon. There is some tea on the table. Let her have a cup and wait for a while. Then he will come to interrogate her."

Daiyu had been in the prefectural prison for several days and had not had tea for a long time. She had even forgotten the taste of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

After a while, she fell asleep.

When she woke up, she was lying in an unfamiliar room.

Daiyu looked around and didn't know where she was, but her intuition told her that she had to escape quickly because it was very dangerous here.

Just then, it suddenly occurred to her that she should scratch the skin on her arms and shoulders, sprinkle some powder on it, and make the ulcerated skin look red and swollen.

After a while, a fat old man slowly walked over from the distance.

The old man looked to be in his 50s. He was not tall, but his figure was very round, like a round ball.

He was wearing a gray robe that hung loosely on his body, making him look lazy and casual.

He walked up to Daiyu and said with a smile, "My dear, you are so pretty. Come, let me cherish you."

Daiyu suddenly had an idea and said with a smile, "Master, I am very happy to see you. May I ask where you are from?"

"Haha, little darling, you're so sweet.

Master, I am the wealthy man here. My family is rich, owns land, and owns several silk shops.

If you follow me and become my concubine, I will let you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks." said the fat man.

"What are you waiting for? Come here, sir, and see if my skin is white." After saying that, Daiyu showed her arm, half revealing it.

When the fat master saw that Daiyu's arms were covered with scars, he asked in surprise: "What happened? Why are your arms covered with scars?"

"I'm itchy, really itchy, and it hurts, and my skin is ulcerated, not just on my arms, but all over my body.

Don't worry about it, Master, come and have some fun." Daiyu took off her coat, revealing her bellyband, and her shoulders were covered with scratches.

The master was frightened and asked in surprise: "You, where are you from?"

"Master, don't be afraid. I am the top girl in the brothel. These scratches will not affect our love.

Come on, master, let’s have a good time together. Please don’t leave.

Didn’t you say you would make me your concubine? You must keep your word.” Daiyu saw the master was about to leave and hurried over to pull him back.

When the master heard Daiyu say that she was the top prostitute in the brothel, he was afraid that Daiyu would run into him, so he fled away.

Daiyu put on her clothes, washed her face and tied her hair.

After a long time, the jailer took her back to the prison.

The older sister opposite saw her come back and kept asking her where she had been.

Daiyu told her the whole story.

The eldest sister was stunned, but at the same time she admired Daiyu's courage, and was glad that Daiyu escaped danger.

Daiyu said: "The second rule of survival is that no matter what time it is, people must have the courage to face difficulties and overcome them.

As long as you don't give up, no one and nothing can defeat you. Only when you are the master of your own life can you be happy.

The older sister opposite said: Maybe playing the emotional card will work, but this is not what the jailer meant.

In other words, he wanted to do you a favor because you were from the same hometown as him, but he didn't have the power to send you to the officials.

His only power is to provide you with clean meals.

And you should think about who is putting so much effort behind this. In other words, whoever sent you to jail is the mastermind behind this.”

Yes, who is the mastermind?

Could it be true what Su Yi's wife said, that she wanted to harm me because I wanted the old lady's house deed?

The whole thing was like a trap set by someone waiting for me to jump in.
