Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 385 I Only Want My Mother

Cailian held Hongxuan's hand and they walked into the room of the inn together.

Hongxuan's big eyes rolled around as she looked around at the simple furnishings in the room.

A few worn-out tables and chairs were placed randomly, and the paint on the walls had peeled off, revealing the traces of time.

There were also a few maids cleaning the room, and the brooms made a rustling sound as they rubbed against the ground.

Hongxuan didn't know that this was where his mother lived, so he quickly hid behind Cailian, only sticking out half of his head, quietly observing the situation around him.

At the same time, the eldest lady had just finished taking the medicine, and the bitter taste remained on the tip of her tongue.

She was lying quietly on the bed with her eyes closed, resting, looking very weak.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingzi gently waved to the maids. The maids understood and immediately stopped their work, tactfully closed the door, and retreated.

Xiao Lingzi tiptoed to the bedside of the eldest wife, bent down, and called softly:

"Master, Master, are you asleep?"

When the eldest wife heard that it was Xiao Lingzi's voice, she didn't even open her eyes, but just responded lightly:

"What's up?"

After receiving the reply from the eldest lady, Xiao Lingzi slowly turned around and waved to Cai Lian again.

So Cailian took Hongxuan and slowly walked towards the bed.

When they approached the bed of the eldest lady, Cailian asked Hongxuan to hide behind the curtain.

When Cailian saw the sallow and listless face of the eldest lady, her heart ached and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.

The sound of Cai Lian sobbing with her head down woke up the first wife. The first wife suddenly raised her head. When she saw that the person standing in front of her was Cai Lian, she was stunned.

She struggled to get up, but accidentally touched the wound on her chest. Cai Lian quickly held her down and said to her with a distressed look:

"Master, does your wound still hurt?"

Unexpectedly, the eldest wife did not respond to her, but instead held herself up, forced a faint smile, and said softly:

"Silly girl, why are you here? Why are you crying? I'm fine, aren't I?"

Due to excessive blood loss, the eldest wife was still very weak. After just sitting for a short while, she felt dizzy.

Seeing this, Cai Lian hurriedly reached out to support the staggering Da Fu Jin and signaled her to lie down quickly.

As soon as she lay down, the eldest wife couldn't help but worry about the children. She asked Cailian weakly:

"Hongxuan and Hongjin, are they both okay now?"

Before he finished speaking, a small figure came running from behind the tent like a gust of wind and rushed straight towards the eldest wife.

Accompanied by a babyish cry:

"mother……"

The word "mother" made the eldest wife think she was hallucinating.

However, the soft little body hugged the eldest wife tightly, making her feel that this was not a dream.

At that moment, the eldest lady's heart melted instantly and tears of excitement flowed out.

"Xuan'er, it's really you who came!"

The eldest wife was extremely excited. She stretched out her hands and hugged Hongxuan tightly in her arms.

She also gently stroked the bruise on Hongxuan's forehead with her trembling hands, and kept muttering:

"Xuan'er, Xuan'er...is your forehead okay?

Mom really misses you guys so much!"

Missing each other day and night, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time.

Cailian and Xiaolingzi couldn't help but tremble in their hearts when they saw this. They were worried that Hongxuan would accidentally touch the wound on the eldest lady's body, so they hurried forward to pull Hongxuan away.

Hongxuan was just a child of seven or eight years old.

He had not been able to see his mother for some time. Today he finally saw his mother, so naturally he hugged the eldest wife tightly and refused to let go.

His small body nestled in the warm arms of the Grand Concubine like a baby swallow, and no matter how others coaxed or persuaded him, they could not take him away from the Grand Concubine's arms.

Cai Lian had no choice but to squat down slowly and scolded softly:

"Xuan'er, have you forgotten what your aunt said?

I can only go back home after my mother recovers from her illness!

So Xuan'er, you must be obedient!"

However, unexpectedly, Hongxuan suddenly pushed Cailian away with force, and tears instantly burst out of her eyes.

She cried and yelled at the top of her lungs:

"No! I don't want to follow the wet nurse, let alone you, Aunt Lian!

I just want my mom!"

Before he finished speaking, the child was already crying like a tearful child, with tear marks all over his face, which was heartbreaking.

Then, Hongxuan turned around again and fell into the arms of the first wife again, sobbing and speaking to her incoherently:

"Mother...Xuan'er will be very careful and will definitely not touch the wounds on your body!

Please let Xuan'er stay here with you!"

The eldest wife hugged Hongxuan in her arms.

The eldest wife felt as if her heart and liver were being cut out alive, and the pain was excruciating.

She has always been strong and competitive throughout her life, and never shows weakness or cries easily.

But she never expected that she would be moved to tears by her own son.

Suddenly, there was a roar outside the door:

"Who is crying here?

In a place like this, if you make a fuss and get discovered, are you guys going to die?"

A tall figure slowly appeared at the door. It was the adoptive father of the eldest wife.

He had been standing quietly at the door for a while. He originally thought that Cai Lian would take the child away soon, but a burst of unrestrained crying was heard in the house.

At this moment, the adoptive father's face turned ashen in an instant. He frowned tightly and stared at the eldest wife and others with anger on his face.

Seeing this, the eldest wife's heart tightened. She quickly winked at Hongxuan and said anxiously:

"Quick, this is grandpa! Call someone!"

However, Hongxuan just looked up at his majestic face and unconsciously took a step back.

He pouted and muttered reluctantly:

"He's not my grandpa, he looks so scary! My grandpa is Duke Tong!"

Before she finished speaking, Cailian turned pale with fright and quickly reached out to cover Hongxuan's mouth.

However, the adoptive father of the eldest wife did not care whether Hongxuan called him grandfather or not.

He was seen with his eyes wide open, his hands on his hips, and he was scolding Xiao Lingzi and Cai Lian like an angry lion:

"You two are so brave!

How dare you bring the prince here without permission? If anything goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"

When Cailian and Xiaolingzi heard this angry rebuke, they both knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly to admit their mistakes, and shouted:

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!

Please forgive us, sir..."

The eldest wife lying on the bed was not calm. She glanced at her adoptive father and hurriedly wanted to get up and beg for mercy, but she didn't expect her wound to be torn. The eldest wife couldn't help but let out a soft "ouch".

She had no choice but to cover the wound with her hands and said softly:

"Godfather, they have good intentions, seeing how much I miss my child day and night!

Please don't blame them, godfather!"

The foster father had no choice but to turn around and loudly scold the two people kneeling on the ground:

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you take the prince back home immediately!"

Unexpectedly, Hongxuan was not happy. He stood up and walked to his adoptive father, raised his head, and shouted loudly:

"I won't leave, wherever my mother is, I'll be there!

You don't look like a good person, so just leave!"
