Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

After Grandma Cai passed away, Daiyu and the prince began to clean up the courtyard. They tidied the rooms in order and then locked the doors carefully.

Daiyu left a letter to Su Zhe and his mother.

Tell them that Grandma Cai has passed away and is buried in the Su Mansion's cemetery, and that he and the prince have left.

The courtyard will always belong to them, and I hope they can come back one day.

Then, the two of them left with Xiaowan.

The prince asked his servants to find an inn and settle down.

The prince noticed that a smile gradually appeared on Daiyu's face, and she was no longer as sad as she had been in the past few days.

The prince suddenly said to Daiyu, "Yu'er, I have a suggestion, but I don't know how to start."

Daiyu looked at the prince in confusion and replied with a smile, "Prince, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly."

The prince looked at Daiyu, paused, and said, "Yu'er, you are gradually recovering now, and the incident with Granny Cai is over.

We don't know if we'll have the chance to come back to Suzhou in the future, so why not take this opportunity to visit your ancestral home?"

Daiyu suddenly burst into tears. Thinking of her hometown and her parents, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"Go to my ancestral home? Your Highness, can we really go back?" Daiyu wiped her tears and asked in surprise.

Then he thought again: After my father passed away while serving in Yangzhou, the ancestral home has become a deserted house. So many years have passed, and I have only been back there when my brother Lian and I handled my father's funeral!

I never thought I’d be able to go back and visit it in my lifetime!

The prince seemed to see through Daiyu's thoughts and said with a smile: "Since we have come to Suzhou, we must visit your old house and pay our respects to the two elders."

Daiyu thought to herself, if possible, I would like to go back and see the place where I used to live, but how can I get in? No matter how deserted the old house is, there is always someone guarding the door, right?

The prince looked at Daiyu's face full of anticipation and thought that he must find a way to bring Yu'er back to the ancestral home.

But she couldn't go back openly, because Daiyu was buried under the supervision of Patriarch Lin!

As the night deepened, Xiaowan saw that the prince and Daiyu had not yet gone to bed, so she walked in and said softly, "Prince, Miss Lin, it's late, you should go to bed early!"

Daiyu tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

I finally fell asleep, but started dreaming again.

She dreamed that she returned to her home in Suzhou, and her mother Jia Min was calling her gently: "Yu'er..." The voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, making her feel extremely warm.

Daiyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw her mother wearing a lavender dress, standing in the garden with a smile on her face.

Her eyes are bright and gentle, revealing deep love.

Daiyu hurried over and threw herself into her mother's arms, feeling her mother's warmth and care.

The mother stroked her hair gently and said, "Yu'er, my poor child, I miss you so much!"

Daiyu burst into tears, hugged her mother tightly, and was speechless.

She didn't know it was just a dream, she immersed herself in it, enjoying the happiness of the moment.

Then, Daiyu came to her father Lin Ruhai's study.

My father was sitting at the desk, holding a brush and writing calligraphy freely.

His face was filled with confidence and satisfaction, as if the whole world was under his pen.

Daiyu stood quietly by, admiring her father's calligraphy. Every stroke was full of power and charm, making people feel her father's talent and temperament.

Suddenly, the father put down the brush in his hand and turned to look at Daiyu.

His eyes were filled with love and pride as he said to Daiyu, "Yu'er, my dear daughter, Daddy misses you...

Daiyu nodded vigorously, wanting to talk to her father, but she couldn't utter a word.

However, the dream will eventually end.

When Daiyu opened her eyes, she found herself still lying on the bed, her tears soaking the pillow.

She sighed deeply, lay down on the bed, and finally fell asleep.

She finally understood what it meant to "search the azure sky and the underworld, and see nothing in between!"

The sky was turning pale, and with the clear crowing of roosters, the sky gradually brightened.

The prince called softly, "Yu'er, it's time to get up. We have to set off early."

Daiyu rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched, and felt confused.

Are you rushing back to the capital so early? Did Xiao Luzi bring some news from the capital?

Seeing the prince's anxious expression, Daiyu didn't ask any more questions, so she had to get up quickly and start dressing and washing.

The carriage moved slowly on the road. Daiyu closed her eyes and leaned her head on the prince's shoulder.

The prince didn't know what was going on along the way. He went downstairs to ask passers-by some questions, and then hurried back to the carriage.

As Daiyu did not get enough rest last night and the prince had to go through the hassle of getting on and off the carriage, Daiyu had no choice but to lean her head on Xiaowan and slept in a daze all the way.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped in front of a tightly closed mansion.

"We're here, Yu'er, get off the car quickly." The prince gently helped Daiyu out of the car.

Daiyu opened her eyes and thought, have we arrived at the palace so soon?

But when he looked in the direction of the prince's hand, the scene before him shocked her.

This is an abandoned old house with the gate closed. The tall stone lions in front of the gate seem to tell of the former glory of the mansion.

The brass lock on the door was rusty and the door knocker looked worn out.

The walls are covered with moss and vines, giving the impression that this place has been forgotten by time.

Daiyu couldn't help but wonder why the prince brought her to such a place?

However, when she looked up and saw the plaque on the mansion, she was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

Those two eye-catching big characters - Lin Mansion!

Daiyu opened her eyes wide, unable to believe what she saw.

Is this the home I've always longed for?

The house had fallen into disrepair, and his father later went to Yangzhou to serve as the Imperial Censor of Salt, and later he himself went to the Jia Mansion.

I only lived in this old house in Suzhou for a few years.

Fragments of her childhood memories flashed through Daiyu's mind...

The prince looked at her with a smile, a gentle light in his eyes.

He gently held Daiyu's hand and said, "Yu'er, I know you only lived in this house for a few years, and then you went to Yangzhou and then to the Jia Mansion.

But this is where your parents have lived for most of their lives, and I know you miss them!"

After hearing what the prince said, Daiyu couldn't help but burst into tears.

She didn't expect that the prince actually found out the address of the old house and brought her back!

She recalled the happy times she spent here as a child and the warm scenes with her parents and cousins.

Today, these are only distant memories, but they are forever etched in her heart.

Daiyu looked at the prince excitedly, her heart filled with love.
