Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

The whip marks looked particularly hideous in the light of the lantern, like sharp knives ruthlessly stabbing into Xiao Quanzi's heart.

The royal palace has always been kind to people, and even more so to servants, and has never treated them harshly.

However, at this moment, Cai Lian was like a small flower that was devastated by a storm, fragile and helpless.

Her delicate body was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she could no longer bear it.

Cai Lian was supposed to be on guard tonight.

But for some reason, the eldest wife suddenly got angry and accused her of having a coquettish look: "You have a coquettish look on your face, don't you think you can become a concubine?"

After the first wife said this, she picked up the golden hairpin on her head and stabbed Cailian's wrist fiercely!

All this happened so suddenly that Cai Lian was caught off guard.

The fear and pain in her heart instantly intertwined together, like a blazing flame, burning her heart in unbearable pain.

Xiao Quanzi stared blankly at the scars on Cai Lian's body. The whip marks were deeply branded on her neck, wrists, and even some invisible places.

After a long while, Xiao Quanzi came back to his senses and asked her in a trembling voice:

"Who on earth is so bold as to bully you? You're the one who takes care of two children! And you're also a favorite of the eldest wife!"

However, facing Xiao Quanzi's questioning, Cai Lian just cried silently and couldn't say a word.

Isn't this the place to talk?

Xiao Quanzi had no choice but to pull Cailian to a secluded corner and asked again in a low voice:

"Tell me quickly, what happened!

If you don't tell me, I'll report it to the Grand Concubine right away and see who is so tired of living that they dare to bully you like this!"

Unexpectedly, Cai Lian was so frightened when she heard this that she gradually backed away. She cried, "No, no, please don't tell the master! She has changed! All these injuries on me are caused by her!"

"What?"

Xiao Quanzi seemed to be unable to believe his ears - how could this be?

Everyone knows that the eldest wife dotes on Cai Lian the most!

He had no choice but to ask again in detail.

Until Cai Lian kept nodding, and then shouted: "She has changed, she is no longer the generous master!"

Cailian wiped her tears and said:

"It's not just me, she bullies the children too! If they don't do what she wants, she'll beat them up and scold them!

She also won over those tricky girls and replaced all of us!"

Xiao Quanzi looked at Cai Lian helplessly. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still took out a tube of ointment from his arms.

He gently unscrewed the lid, squeezed out some ointment, and applied it on Cai Lian's wounds.

Cai Lian sat there like a homeless person, without any reaction, allowing Xiao Quanzi to apply medicine to her.

After about a cup of tea, Xiao Quanzi finally finished applying the ointment to Cailian.

He screwed the cap of the ointment tight, then took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Cai Lian's hand.

Just as Xiao Quanzi handed the silver to Cailian, the medicine powder in his sleeve accidentally fell out and landed on the ground with a "plop".

Xiao Quanzi's face changed slightly, and he quickly bent down to pick up the bag of medicine powder.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the powder, Cai Lian suddenly stretched out her foot and stepped on the powder bag:

"What is this...you say..."

Xiao Quanzi showed an awkward smile on his face. "It's just ordinary bruise powder. I brought it for self-defense!"

As he explained, he tried to quickly pick up the powder.

Cai Lian saw this and her anger grew. She widened her eyes and said sternly:

“Well, you are so stubborn that you refuse to tell the truth!

Well, let me tell you, Mrs. Yu is kind to the two children!

If you follow her instructions and do something harmful, you will regret it deeply when it is exposed!"

The cold wind blew dead leaves across the corridor of the palace. Xiao Quanzi's tattered cotton jacket rustled in the wind, as if it would be torn into pieces at any time.

The jackdaw on the treetop suddenly let out a shrill cry, flapped its wings and flew away, startling the frost on the ground.

Cailian tightened her cotton jacket and turned to leave.

At this moment, Xiao Quanzi suddenly rushed in front of her, leaving a messy shadow on the blue brick ground.

He looked around, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Cailian, a few days ago, the eldest lady asked me to put drugs in Yufujin's tea."

As he spoke, he tremblingly stuffed the packet of powder into her palm.

Under the moonlight, Cai Lian's face was colder than the remaining snow in the yard.

She clutched the powder tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Hasn't it occurred to you? How could she have forgotten only you, her personal servant?"

Xiao Quanzi grabbed his hair, his face full of annoyance:

"I just thought it was strange, but... but she is the master after all!

Besides, I have been looking for her outside for several years! Now I finally see her... "

Cai Lian suddenly came closer, her voice low and cold:

“Put the drug in her tea.

If it's non-toxic, just consider it a false alarm!

if……"

A fierce look flashed in her eyes: "She has done too many evil things, she deserves it!" The night wind lifted the strands of hair on her temples, casting a spider-web-like shadow on her pale face.

"Why is the candlelight still so dim? Are you deaf?"

Yanzhi kicked the brocade quilt open suddenly, causing the gilded tent hooks to jingle.

When she stood up, her purple embroidered nightgown slid down her shoulders, revealing half of her snow-white skin, which shone like cold jade in the swaying light and shadow.

The nights in the palace were so long that they seemed like torture that would never end.

In the past, living in poverty in the village was so hard, and now being a concubine is so hard!

Since the day she entered the mansion, she counted the twin lotus flowers embroidered with gold thread on the ceiling every night. When she counted for the third time, the clappers outside the window had already struck three o'clock in the morning.

The two little maids came closer with the candlesticks tremblingly. Yanzhi stared at the dancing flames and suddenly laughed out loud.

Before she finished laughing, she suddenly grabbed the gilded hairpin beside her pillow and slammed it over: "If it's still this dark, I'll dig out your eyeballs and use them as lamp oil!"

Caidie's words, "The prince will stay in Concubine Yu's courtyard tonight," are like a silver needle stirring back and forth in her heart.

She looked at her carefully applied makeup in the bronze mirror, and suddenly thought, if the prince were here, would he hold her in his arms and make love with her all night long?

Digging her nails into her palms, Rouge grabbed her cloak and rushed to the door.

In the moonlight, I happened to see Cai Lian passing by with Tremella soup in her hand. The flickering candlelight made her face look even more charming.

Hatred instantly swallowed up her rationality. She wanted to torture Cai Lian again, but suddenly, she had an idea. Isn't this girl known to everyone as clever? Then let her...

She covered her chest, pretending to be in pain, and whispered to Cailian: "My heart hurts so much, aren't you smart? Go to Yufujin's courtyard and invite the prince!"

She fell down on the cold floor tiles, looking at her carefully dressed appearance, looking at Cai Lian's receding back, and suddenly remembered the prince's pity eyes on their first night.

But after that night, she was the only one left in this huge palace, facing the solitary lamp, counting the loneliness that was getting longer and longer.
