Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

After Aunt Lan left, the eldest wife sat alone in the room, staring blankly in a daze.

She thought to herself: What a fool! He actually came to complain about Lady Yu for such a trivial matter and made me the first to be blamed.

How stupid!

In fact, the first wife knew very well how important it was to compete with Daiyu for the prince's favor, but she knew that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.

Besides, with her current status, vying for favor is no longer the most important thing.

Now, the prince does love Daiyu very much, but his adoptive father’s cause is more important.

When she was a child, although the Tong family was recognized as a prominent family and she was nominally the eldest daughter of the Tong family, she knew very well in her heart that she was different from other children in the family since she was a child.

It was not until later that she gradually realized that she was not Tong's biological daughter, but was adopted.

The eldest wife put away the written words, when suddenly, the melodious sound of birdsong attracted her attention.

The little bird actually landed on the windowsill and refused to leave.

The eldest lady took a closer look and found that there seemed to be something tied to the bird's claws.

She suddenly understood, slapped her forehead, and realized that this must be the message from her adoptive father.

So she hurried forward, grabbed the bird, and carefully removed the note tied to its claws.

The eldest wife looked at the note and realized that her adoptive father had asked her to meet him tonight. She would wait until everyone in the mansion was asleep before leaving.

Night soon fell. The eldest wife changed her clothes, told Cailian to leave a small door open for her, and left.

"Foster father, Bijun greets you, foster father.

I wonder why my adoptive father called his daughter here so late at night?" The eldest wife bowed respectfully to the man in black.

The man in black had a black veil covering his head, so his face couldn't be seen. He lowered his voice and smiled as he said to the first wife, "Is everything going well in your house recently? Isn't the prince at home?"

"Foster father, the prince took Consort Yu to the Southern Province to relax."

"Oh, so it's that new woman who's vying for your favor. Don't worry about this matter for now, I have my own arrangements." The man in black said as he whistled softly a few times into the distance.

Suddenly, a young man eight feet tall came in front of them.

The young man came up and kowtowed to the man in black. He only heard the man in black say, "Bi Jun, last time I took Xiao Quanzi away, our communication has been inconvenient. This young man is called Mu Lingchen. I will be your servant."

After that, the young man kowtowed to the eldest wife and said, "I am Xiao Lingzi, the servant, and I pay my respects to the master."

The first wife thought that Cailian wanted to introduce her to a simple farmer, but that man didn't look smart, so she let the matter go. Today, this servant seemed quite smart.

The eldest wife smiled and asked Xiao Lingzi to get up. There was no need to be so polite in front of family members.

The man in black saw that it was getting late and it was too late for the eldest lady to leave the house. He was afraid of being seen by others, so he quickly asked Xiao Lingzi to accompany the eldest lady back to the house.

"Yu'er, ever since we came to Suzhou to keep vigil for Grandma Cai, you haven't eaten properly. How can we continue like this?"

The prince looked at Daiyu, who was dressed in mourning and standing in front of Grandma Cai's coffin with tears on her face. She had become increasingly thin in the past few days.

Daiyu just sobbed silently and didn't say anything.

Just then, the coffin shop delivered a high-quality coffin.

This coffin is made of high-quality wood and exudes a faint wood fragrance.

The prince personally led his servants to carefully place Grandma Cai's body into the coffin, his movements gentle and cautious.

Everyone was silent, with grief evident on their faces.

The funeral is scheduled to be held at 9:00 am, and relatives and friends will come to pay their respects.

However, it is regrettable that since Granny Cai had never revealed any information about her relatives to the prince and Daiyu during her lifetime, and since her only son had passed away, the funeral seemed particularly deserted.

Apart from a few people in the village, only the prince, Daiyu and Xiaowan attended.

Despite this, the prince decided to bury Grandma Cai and arranged to bury her in the Su Mansion's cemetery at 3 p.m.

After the funeral, the prince ordered the coffin to be sealed.

Daiyu waved to the prince, then glanced at Granny Cai and said with tears in her eyes, "Granny, I wish you peace and happiness in your next life."

After she finished speaking, she was already crying. Xiaowan quickly glanced at Grandma Cai, and then several servants came and sealed the coffin.

In the afternoon, the servants opened the tomb of Grandma Cai's husband, dug it a little wider, and placed Grandma Cai's coffin in it.

Soon a grave mound was built.

On an early autumn afternoon, a breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, blowing the hair on Daiyu's face and ruffling her heart.

The servants were busy in front of Grandma Cai's grave, arranging paper people, paper horses and other offerings neatly, and lighting paper money and ghost money.

The fire gradually rose, and black smoke billowed in the air, as if it was going to cover the entire world.

Looking at the dust flying all over the sky, Daiyu felt a deep sadness in her heart.

Grandma, Yu'er hopes these ashes will fly higher and higher, fly to you, and fly to you and my thoughts...

She knew what this separation meant. It meant that the past was separated by an ocean and we would never meet again. Mother-in-law, we are really separated forever.

The prince stood quietly by and waved his hand gently, signaling the servants to leave, leaving only Xiaowan and Daiyu to accompany Granny Cai's tomb.

The three of them were dressed in mourning and stood silently in front of Grandma Cai's tombstone.

Their expressions were solemn and dignified, as if they were paying their final respects to Grandma Cai.

Daiyu slowly squatted down and gently stroked the newly built tombstone.

She stroked the words "Sumen Caishi" and seemed to see Grandma Cai smiling at her in the sky.

Tears glistened in her eyes, her lips trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Grandma, I really want to tell you that I have never really been angry with you. You have always been my most beloved grandma."

The prince and Xiaowan stood by, watching Daiyu silently.

They could sense Daiyu's deep-seated guilt. She was just one step away from seeing her mother-in-law for the last time, and it almost untied the knot between the two of them...

The prince stepped forward, held out his hand to help Daiyu up, and gently comforted her, "Yu'er, your mother-in-law in heaven will see how much we miss her. She will bless us."

Xiaowan also stepped forward, tightly grasped Daiyu's hand, and sobbed, "Don't worry, Miss Lin, Grandma called you by your name at the end. The conflict in her heart has long been resolved, but Grandma is still worried about you!"

When Daiyu heard Xiaowan say that Grandma Cai called her name at the end, she cried even harder.

The prince patted Daiyu's shoulder gently and said with a choked voice: "Cry, cry, cry out all your grievances, and we will live happily from now on."

Daiyu clasped her hands together, tears in her eyes, and said softly:

"Mother-in-law, the future is short, and once we leave, we will never come back.

I heard that heaven is beautiful, but there is no carriage that goes directly to heaven?

There are three thousand diseases in life, but only longing cannot be cured.

From now on we can only meet in dreams, you sleep forever, and I miss you forever.

Goodbye, may you be well in the other world."
