Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

When the eldest wife heard what her adoptive father said, although she was reluctant in her heart, she also knew that it was useless to say more, so she nodded silently.

She slowly closed her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed freely down her cheeks.

Thinking of the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, Dafujin couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"He will definitely hate me, and we will never be the same again!"

As for her two sons, the eldest wife's heart felt as if it was being gnawed by millions of ants, and the pain was unbearable.

At this moment, she wished she could grow wings and fly back to the palace, hug them tightly in her arms, and be their only mother!

However, the reality is so cruel and ruthless.

For now, she had no choice but to follow her adoptive father's arrangements, take care of herself for the time being, and then make plans to go to Tongguo Mansion.

When she was the only one left in the room, the eldest wife quickly hid herself in the thick quilt like a wounded little animal.

She covered her cheeks tightly, as if afraid that others would see her embarrassment and vulnerability.

The emotions that had been pent up for so long burst out like a flood, and she finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

She seemed to want to vent all the grievances, resentment and loss in her heart.

Suddenly, the small figures of Xuan'er and Jin'er appeared in the eldest lady's mind.

Their delicate and fair faces, sweet voices, and soft calls of "mother" were like sharp blades, deeply hurting the eldest wife's heart.

The eldest wife pulled the corner of the quilt and swore secretly: Xuan'er, Jin'er, you must listen to Aunt Cailian obediently!

Mother will definitely keep you by her side!

……

Jiang Yuchen widened his eyes, stunned by the scene before him——

Xiangyun was seen holding the child tightly, standing quietly in the swirling clouds.

Her figure was vague and unclear, making it impossible for Jiang Yuchen to see her face clearly.

He could feel the endless sorrow and resentment deep in Xiangyun's heart from the faint sobbing sounds.

Jiang Yuchen's heart suddenly tightened, and he involuntarily stretched out his hands, eager to hold Xiangyun and the child in his arms.

However, just when he was about to touch them, the distance that was originally so close was now ruthlessly separated by a shallow river.

The river is so clear that you can see the sand, rocks and water plants clearly.

Jiang Yuchen thought that as long as he lifted his foot slightly, he could easily cross over.

However, as he was anxiously preparing to take a step, an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

"Yun'er, why are you here? Are you and the child okay?"

Jiang Yuchen shouted loudly. Ever since he was beaten by Master Yu, he returned to the temple in anger.

Today, Xiangyun's sudden arrival made Jiang Yuchen overjoyed.

He really wanted to hug her and the child. The little guy should be half a year old now, right?

However, Xiangyun slowly turned around, with her back to Jiang Yuchen, and seemed to be sobbing softly. She said faintly:

"Now that my mother and I are leaving, why don't you come and see us off!"

After saying this, Xiangyun stopped talking, just held the child in her arms and gently kissed his little face.

When Jiang Yuchen heard this, he felt anxious as if his heart was being scratched by a cat's claws.

He didn't care about anything else and walked towards the river. He quickly walked to Xiangyun and said a few words to her.

But the moment he stepped into the river, something shocking happened - Xiangyun, holding the child, suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The originally shallow river suddenly became turbulent and bottomless.

Huge waves rolled towards Jiang Yuchen and in the blink of an eye they were already above his knees.

Seeing the river water rising rapidly and about to submerge his neck, Jiang Yuchen was terrified. He couldn't find Xiangyun and the child!

So he struggled desperately to swim back to the shore.

But the rushing water was like a ferocious beast, holding his body tightly and making it difficult for him to escape.

Jiang Yuchen shouted anxiously:

"Yun'er, Yun'er...where are you?"

Just his loud shout broke the tranquility of the night and woke up his senior brother who was sleeping soundly on the couch.

At this time, everything was quiet, the night was deep, and it was pitch black all around. Only the faint moonlight shone into the house through the window.

Originally, they were already exhausted after finishing a day's evening classes, and his senior brother fell asleep on the couch.

On the other side, Jiang Yuchen sat quietly in a corner of the room, his eyes slightly closed, meditating quietly.

Unconsciously, Jiang Yuchen's consciousness gradually became blurred, his body slowly relaxed, and he finally fell into a hazy dream.

However, after an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yuchen dreamed of Xiangyun and the child. He couldn't find Xiangyun in his dream for a while, and he shouted in panic.

The sound seemed particularly abrupt and loud in the quiet night.

The senior brother who was sleeping soundly was suddenly awakened. He was shocked and thought that something had happened to Jiang Yuchen.

The senior brother hurriedly stood up, lit a candle, and walked quickly to where Jiang Yuchen was.

Jiang Yuchen slowly raised his head and found that he was still in the temple. Where were Xiangyun and the child?

The flickering candlelight illuminated Jiang Yuchen's face. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he was obviously frightened by the nightmare.

The senior brother quickly handed over a glass of water and asked softly:

"Junior brother, what happened? Did you have a nightmare?"

Jiang Yuchen just shook his head slightly and said softly: "Thank you, Senior Brother, I'm fine."

After saying that, he took the cup and drank it all.

Seeing that Jiang Yuchen was unwilling to say more, the senior brother did not ask any further questions. After telling him to have a good rest, he turned around and went back to his bed to continue sleeping.

However, after experiencing this scare, although Jiang Yuchen lay back on the bed, he could no longer sleep peacefully as before.

He misses Xiangyun and the child so much!

I wonder if they are living well in that mansion?

As he thought about it, Jiang Yuchen couldn't help but secretly swear that he would find an opportunity to return to Yangzhou in the next few days.

……

After Nalan sent the prince back to the palace, he rushed back to the palace and began to keep vigil for two consecutive days.

In the past few days, Nalan has been worried about Daiyu, and it was on that day that he finally understood - it turns out that this beautiful and rich woman in the world is called Lin Daiyu!

Having finally gotten some free time today, he couldn't wait to rush to the manor.

However, when he stepped into the manor with great anticipation, he found it unusually quiet, as if something important was missing.

He walked through every inch of the manor anxiously, not missing any corner where Daiyu might be hiding.

From the veranda to the back garden to her bedroom, the furnishings remained the same, but no matter how hard he looked, he could not find Daiyu.

He was unwilling to give up and even turned the entire manor upside down. Or she hid in a corner to give him a surprise.

But contrary to his wishes, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find her.

With a lonely mood, Nalan slowly walked towards the bedroom where Daiyu once lived.

When he stepped into the room, everything in it remained unchanged, but the beautiful woman had disappeared without a trace.

Nalan was in a state of despair. He staggered to the desk and sat down heavily.

He looked at every corner of the room with empty eyes, with a glimmer of hope left, perhaps she was hiding in a corner waiting for him!

Every table, chair, book and painting here seem to be expressing longing.

At this moment, Nalan suddenly caught a glimpse of a letter lying quietly on the desk, with a string of warm pearls neatly placed above the letter.

He picked up the letter gently with trembling hands.

When he saw the beautiful handwriting on the envelope, his heart beat faster involuntarily.

There was a faint scent of ink on the letter paper, which was like an invisible bond, bringing his thoughts back to the days when she was in this bedroom.

Nalan took a deep breath and carefully unfolded the letter. What caught his eye was the poem that suffocated him:

"I return your pearl with tears in my eyes, I regret that we did not meet before I was married!"

This line of poetry was like a sharp sword that pierced his heart, making him feel extremely painful.

He could never have imagined that Daiyu would say goodbye to him in such a decisive way.

After she left, men and women were not allowed to touch each other. After all, she was still the wife of the prince, and she was afraid that others would misunderstand them!

Nalan silently folded the letter and put it back in its place, then gently stroked the string of pearls with his hand, as if touching the remaining warmth of Daiyu.

He seemed to suddenly remember something. Did she go back to the palace alone with her big belly?

It’s such a long journey, there’s no guarantee that she won’t encounter danger. What if she faints like last time?

Thinking of this, Nalan could no longer bear it, and rode his horse to the palace.

Nalan murmured softly:

"Just one look at her. As long as she's safe and sound, I'll be torn to pieces!"
