Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 36 The past can only be the past

"I am a lady from a noble family,

I am the niece of Rongguo Mansion.

My father was the Imperial Salt Inspector of Jiangnan.

My mother is the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion.

I am the only child of my parents.

After my mother passed away, I was taken to live with my grandmother.

And I became my grandmother's sweetheart and the apple of her eye.

I have never dealt with people at the bottom of society, nor have I ever suffered.

I thought everyone was like me, pampered since childhood and treated like a princess.

Now, my grandmother's family doesn't know whether I am alive or dead, my parents are dead, and the two maids are also missing.

I really feel like a failure as a human being...

The neighbor's elder sister saw Daiyu coming back from the hall, refusing to eat or drink and just staring blankly.

After her repeated questioning, Daiyu finally spoke out what was hidden in her heart.

After saying this, Daiyu couldn't help but burst into tears.

"If it's really hard, I'll tell you my story."

The eldest sister said calmly, "I am the only daughter of a wealthy family. That year I met a scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

Seeing him naked and hungry, I felt really sorry for him, so I gave him some money and clothes so that he could take the imperial examination.

He was also very hardworking and never forgot his gratitude. After he passed the imperial examination and got promoted, he came back to marry me. We lived happily after our marriage and had a son and a daughter.

Later, he was promoted to Governor, but I was old and no longer as pretty as before. He began to take concubines, indulge in women, and covet wealth and fame.

For the sake of our children, I turned a blind eye to his behavior, but he became more and more excessive and even wanted to divorce me and take an 18-year-old woman as his legal wife.

I was so angry that I killed him and the little bitch. I'll execute him next autumn.

After hearing this, Daiyu cast an admiring gaze towards her elder sister. She envied her elder sister's courage to love and hate.

Daiyu said: "Even if you killed someone, you are not a bad person."

The eldest sister smiled and said, "You can't judge a person's life by their success. The same goes for you. No matter how others treat you, as long as you don't fall, no one can do anything to you."

Even if it’s just for one day, we must live well.”

After Daiyu finished crying, she actually fell asleep quietly.

Yes, when life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and don’t let the golden cup face the moon empty.

She had a very long dream, in which she saw Zijuan and Xueyan.

Zijuan and Xueyan dressed her in a beautiful bridal dowry and married her to a handsome young man.

After waking up from the dream, Daiyu realized that her life or death was uncertain and that there was no possibility for her and the prince to be together.

Granny Cai will not tell the prince her whereabouts, and she doesn't know when her life will end.

"Your Highness, I wish the autumn wind could understand my feelings and relieve the unrest in my heart." Daiyu said silently in her heart.

"Xiao Luzi, Xiao Luzi, hurry up and pack up, tell the housekeeper to take care of the household affairs, and then you come with me to Suzhou."

The prince anxiously discussed with Xiaoluzi about going to Suzhou.

Just as Xiao Luzi was about to speak, the eldest lady came in.

She smiled and said to the prince, "Your Highness is so anxious, I think he is going out to buy me a gift for being a princess.

Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry. Just take your time to choose." Before the prince could say anything, the first wife left.

The eldest wife came to the accounting office and told the accountant that everyone had worked hard this month and that each person would be given an extra 2 taels of silver.

After saying that, he came to the small pavilion in the back garden.

"Wow, these peonies are growing so beautifully!" Fu Jin exclaimed happily as she looked at the flowers blooming all over the garden. "Cai Lian, go pick a few beautiful ones and put them in a vase and put them in my room."

"Yes, Fu Jin," Cai Lian replied with a smile. She walked lightly into the flowers, picked out a few beautiful peonies, and gently placed them in a vase.

The eldest wife nodded with satisfaction and looked at the beautiful scenery around her.

"What a nice place!" she exclaimed softly.

There is a pool of clear water here, shaded by green trees, with peonies blooming beautifully, and koi swimming freely in the lake.

The gentle breeze, the fragrance of flowers and the fresh air made Dafujin feel the beauty of nature.

She sat quietly in the pavilion, closed her eyes, and felt the tranquility.

"Hold your hand and grow old with you.

"When the zither and the qin are in the palace, everything is peaceful and harmonious."

The eldest wife said softly, this is the peaceful life described in poetry.

Just then, Cai Lian came over and whispered in Fu Jin's ear, "Madam, the woman you rescued that day wants to see you."

"Tell her to wait for me in my room. I'll be back soon." The eldest wife packed her clothes and went back.

As soon as the eldest wife entered the room, the woman knelt on the ground and begged her for help.

The eldest wife smiled and pulled her up, slowly saying, "Our family is certainly a wealthy one, but we have nothing to do with royalty or nobles. I asked around, but no one knows who the Prince Beijing you're talking about is."

Girl, since we know each other, I'll give you some money and you can go find someone else. Don't delay your business."

After saying this, he asked Cailian to give her 10 taels of silver and sent her away.

The girl had no choice but to accept the silver and leave the palace.

The girl came to the market, looked at the people coming and going, and fell into deep thought.

She had been away for so long, yet she hadn't heard anything about Prince Beijing. The wealthy family she was staying with had given her free food and lodging for so long, and even given her money before she left. She felt that was quite good.

But she was alone in a foreign place, unfamiliar with the place, and had never been far away. She had little money left, and if she couldn't find the prince again, she didn't know what to do.

And she was Xiaowan, who was sent by Grandma Cai to find Prince Beijing.

Granny Cai saw the evidence from the coroner in the lobby that day, proving that Daiyu had killed her own son.

After returning home, he refused to eat or drink and became seriously ill.

She knew that Daiyu was wronged, but she was still afraid of her in her heart, and wondered why Xiaowan hadn't come back yet.

But even if the prince came back, what would it matter? The evidence was irrefutable, and the deceased was her own son. This conflicting and sad feeling made her sick.

Li Feier saw that the matter was settled. Her mother-in-law was seriously ill. Although Daiyu had not been sentenced yet, she would not be able to get out for a while.

She should be able to go to that person to take credit.

So late one night, she took advantage of her mother-in-law's deep sleep, packed her luggage, took away her mother-in-law's land deeds and house deeds, woke up her son and ran away.

Xiaoling got up the next day and cooked for her mother-in-law.

I saw that the door was open. Li Feier and the child were not at home, and their rooms were very messy.

He hurried to Grandma Cai's room, but found her sleeping and the brocade box in the box was gone.

"Grandma Cai, Grandma, what do you think? Wake up and eat something."

Xiaoling gently woke up Grandma Cai.

"My mother-in-law asked why Zhezhe and that woman didn't come to dinner, didn't you go and see?

Mother-in-law, just eat first and don't think about anything else."

Seeing Xiaoling's evasive look, the mother-in-law asked worriedly what was wrong: "Just tell me what you want to say."

Xiaoling cried and said, "Grandma and the others left. They took away your things while you were asleep.

Look, the lock of the wooden box in your room is open!"
