Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

"Yier, mother will see you soon. Will you come to pick me up? Mother is here..." Granny Cai lay on the bed with a pale face.

She was already on her deathbed, mumbling something.

Xiaowan quietly stayed by Grandma Cai's bedside, looking at the dying Grandma Cai, her heart filled with worry and fear.

She held Grandma Cai's hand tightly and said softly, "Grandma, you will be fine. I'm here with you."

Granny Cai turned her head slightly, looked at Xiaowan with a dazed look in her eyes, and muttered incoherently: "Zhezhe, my grandson, my grandson..."

Xiaowan couldn't help but burst into tears. She quickly stood up and poured a glass of water for Grandma Cai, and then carefully fed her with a small spoon.

Grandma Cai swallowed with difficulty, drank only two sips, shook her head, and signaled Xiaowan to put down the cup.

Her lips were pale, as if her life was slipping away bit by bit.

"Mother-in-law, drinking some water will make you feel better." Xiaowan said with a sob.

Granny Cai tried hard to open her eyes, her eyes filled with guilt and reluctance: "Miss Lin, Miss Lin, I'm sorry for you..."

Xiaowan shook her head, tears streaming down her face. She cried, "Mother-in-law, please get better soon. I've written to Miss Lin and the prince. I believe they will be here soon."

Granny Cai seemed to have used up all her strength, but she was only breathing out, not breathing in.

She stretched out her trembling hand and wanted to grab Xiaowan, and Xiaowan quickly grabbed Grandma Cai's hand.

All I heard was her saying softly, "Miss Lin, Miss Lin..." After saying this, Grandma Cai's eyes slowly closed and her breathing gradually became weaker.

At this moment, the night is as dark as ink, and everything is silent, as if the whole world has fallen into a deep sleep.

Grandma Cai's yard is located alone on the outskirts of Suzhou, in the northernmost corner of the village, far away from the main village.

Most of the people in the village went to Suzhou City to make a living. Now there are only a few families left, making it look particularly deserted.

And in this quiet night, only a little girl was guarding the deceased old man alone.

Xiaowan was isolated and helpless, her heart filled with fear and helplessness. No one else here could hear her cries, and no one could come to help her.

Xiaowan sat blankly on the edge of the bed, her vision blurred by tears.

"Grandma, what should I do after you leave? Miss Lin hasn't come back yet. What should I do alone?" Xiaowan cried while looking at Grandma Cai on the bed, trying to wake her up with her tears.

Suddenly she tried to recall the old customs of dying in her employer's house.

However, she was just a teenage girl, and as a girl, she only had to work hard in her employer's house for matters like funerals.

But now she was facing the passing of Grandma Cai alone, and her heart suddenly felt uneasy.

Suddenly, Xiaowan had an idea. She wiped her tears and cried to Granny Cai, "Don't worry, Granny, Xiaowan will make sure you have a glorious journey."

She went to the kitchen to boil water and found the funeral clothes that Grandma Cai had prepared earlier, thinking of cleaning Grandma Cai and putting on the funeral clothes first.

"Miss Lin, I'm leaving now. Let the past go with the wind."

Grandma Cai was wearing a special dress and her face was covered with a white cloth. She stood quietly in the distance, her figure blurred and a thin layer of mist surrounded her.

A strong sadness surged in Daiyu's heart and tears welled up in her eyes.

She ran desperately towards Grandma Cai, but no matter how hard she tried, her steps became extremely heavy, as if they were restrained by some force.

"Mother-in-law, please wait for me. The prince and I will be there soon." Daiyu shouted anxiously, her voice filled with endless grief.

She tried her best to get close to Grandma Cai, but every step was full of difficulties.

"Grandma! Don't go! Wait for me..." Daiyu cried loudly, hoping to stop Grandma Cai from leaving.

But no matter how she struggled, she couldn't change the reality.

Finally, Granny Cai's figure gradually disappeared in the mist, leaving only silence and emptiness.

Daiyu suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying on the bed with sweat on her forehead.

It turns out that everything that just happened was just a nightmare.

She was breathing heavily and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Yu'er, are you having a nightmare again? We will be at Grandma Cai's place soon. Don't worry, we will be there tomorrow morning!" When the prince heard Daiyu's scream, he hurriedly got out of bed and lit a candle.

He saw cold sweat on Daiyu's face and her eyes were wide open, so he hurriedly comforted Daiyu and held her in his arms.

"Go to sleep, Yu'er. You must be tired after traveling all day. I'm here with you."

Daiyu looked at the prince, took a deep breath, and thought to herself, dreams are always the opposite of what they used to be, Grandma Cai will definitely be fine.

Tomorrow, tomorrow we will arrive in Suzhou.

Daiyu comforted herself, lay down beside the prince and began to sleep.

But today was strange. She always felt like there was someone outside the door, and Daiyu couldn't fall asleep at all.

The sound of the night watchman outside the door reached Daiyu's ears. She listened to the prince's even breathing and thought that it was already the fifth watch and dawn would soon be approaching. She should let the prince get up and we should hurry on our way.

Daiyu thought about it, got out of bed quietly and changed her clothes.

She nudged the prince and said softly, "Prince, wake up, it's almost dawn, let's hurry."

The prince opened his eyes sleepily, looked at Daiyu who had changed her clothes, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, sleep a little longer. We will be there in an hour at most. This is already the outskirts of Suzhou."

After saying that, he was about to pull Daiyu to lie down. Daiyu had no choice but to squeak the prince hard, which made the prince laugh.

Daiyu said coquettishly: "My Lord, you are awake now, let's hurry on!"

The prince couldn't persuade Daiyu, so he had to call the servants and coachmen to hurry on.

Daiyu was extremely anxious along the way, and from time to time she opened the curtain of the carriage to look at the narrow path outside.

"Yu'er, if you're not in a hurry, go to Suzhou and take the water route. The scenery along the way is really beautiful.

Let's take a boat on our way back." The prince looked at Daiyu's anxious eyes and was afraid that she would get sick, so he had to distract her with other things.

Daiyu's heart had already flown to Granny Cai's courtyard. At this moment, she was closing her eyes, imagining the scene of meeting Granny Cai.

"If we don't meet in this life, we will be as far apart as the sun and the moon. What night is this, and we are here to share the light of candles!" Mother-in-law, wait for me, Yu'er will be here soon!

Daiyu kept praying in her heart, praying that the carriage would go faster and praying that Grandma Cai's illness would get better.

The prince sat aside and looked at Daiyu's face without a trace of smile, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

The prince had no choice but to hold Daiyu's hand and said softly, "Yu'er, don't worry, the carriage is very fast, and we will see Granny Cai soon."
