Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 412: The First Lady's Adoptive Father Passes Away

The eldest wife slowly got down from the carriage, seeming to be very wary of this strange place.

She slowly scanned the surroundings and saw that this place was a completely barren mountain area, empty and without a single person in sight.

The eldest wife thought to herself: This is just a barren mountain.

Why did my godfather let Xiao Quanzi bring me here?

Just as she was full of doubts, Xiao Quanzi had already parked the carriage and walked quickly to her.

With a smile on his face, he said softly to the eldest wife:

"Master, the master is waiting for you in front!"

The eldest wife heard this, but she still nodded and signaled Xiao Quanzi to lead the way.

Xiao Quanzi turned and walked towards a cave, followed closely by the eldest wife.

When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Xiao Quanzi stopped. He carefully moved a few stones. There was a slight "click" sound, and the stone door slowly opened automatically.

The eldest wife looked at this scene in surprise. Before she could come to her senses, Xiao Quanzi had already stretched out his hand, lowered his head, and was ready to help her into the cave.

The eldest wife hesitated for a moment, but finally put her hand on Xiao Quanzi's hand, and the two walked into the cave together.

The cave was dimly lit, with only a few flickering candles emitting faint light.

With this little light, the eldest lady could vaguely see several tablets on the altar in front of her.

At this moment, a few coughs were suddenly heard, and the sound was particularly abrupt in this silent cave.

The eldest wife's heart tightened, but she had already recognized the owner of the cough - it was her adoptive father!

The eldest wife looked carefully and found that it was indeed her adoptive father. It seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time.

The figure of the adoptive father was faintly visible in the dim light. He cleared his throat and called softly, "Bijun..."

Before he could finish his words, he couldn't help coughing violently again.

Seeing this, the first wife was shocked and hurried forward, thinking to herself: My adoptive father's cough has worsened again. I have to pour some tea to moisten his throat.

However, just as she was about to turn around to get some tea, her adoptive father suddenly pointed his finger directly at the tablets and said slowly:

"Since we're here, let's pay our respects to our ancestors first!"

Upon hearing this, the first wife looked in the direction pointed by her adoptive father, and was surprised to find that the names of the ancestors were clearly written on those tablets!

Each tablet represents a deceased hero!

In an instant, she felt tears welling up in her eyes. Compared to them, the grievances she had suffered were nothing!

All the blood in her body seemed to have frozen.

The eldest wife looked at the tablets with tears in her eyes, and her adoptive father's words kept echoing in her mind:

"Young Master, you are the descendant of Princess Shenni!"

She knelt down, her knees hitting the hard ground with a dull thud.

She lowered her head deeply, with her forehead pressed against the cold ground, and kowtowed several times to the tablets.

His adoptive father coughed a few more times. He seemed no longer the majestic warrior. It was as if he had become an octogenarian overnight.

Xiao Quanzi hurriedly took out a few pills from his pocket and asked him to swallow them.

When the eldest wife heard that her adoptive father's cough was different today than before, and heard the sound of Xiao Quanzi getting medicine for her adoptive father, she quickly came to his side.

She was suddenly shocked to find that her adoptive father had been in tears for a long time!

The moment their eyes met, the godfather seemed to have a thousand words to say, but didn't seem to know where to start.

After a long while, he finally spoke slowly, full of reluctance:

"Bijun, I'm afraid your foster father...can't walk with you any longer!"

The eldest wife's heart tightened, and her eyes suddenly became moist. She held back her tears and asked tremblingly:

"Father, what's wrong with you?

It's just a cough, I will definitely find the best doctor to cure you!"

The adoptive father had long lost his former dignity. He shook his head, looked at the eldest wife with reluctance, and choked up and said:

"The road ahead is still long, filled with thorns and obstacles. How can you cope with it alone?"

That reluctant look broke the eldest lady's heart.

The eldest wife was puzzled for a moment. Why was her adoptive father acting so abnormal today?

At this moment, he suddenly started coughing violently again.

Seeing this, the eldest wife hurried forward and gently patted his back, trying to make him feel more comfortable.

The coughing finally subsided, and the first wife discovered that the handkerchief in her adoptive father's hand had been stained red by the blood he coughed up.

Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and her tears could no longer be controlled and burst out.

Seeing this, Xiao Quanzi hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea and carefully handed it to his mouth.

However, just as he was about to drink the tea, he suddenly had another violent coughing fit, and a mouthful of blood spurted out like an arrow, splashing right onto the face of the eldest lady.

The eldest lady's face was instantly stained red with blood.

She didn't care about the stains on her face. She reached out without hesitation, tightly grasped her adoptive father's hand, and cried out:

"Father, what happened to you?

Let's go find a doctor right now, and he will definitely cure you!"

However, my adoptive father just shook his head weakly. His breathing became rapid and difficult, and every breath seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

He half leaned on Xiao Quanzi, his body looking extremely weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

His life has come to an end!

The eldest wife then noticed that her adoptive father had become so thin since she had never seen him before!

His originally tall body has become hunched, and it has only been a few months!

He tried hard to force a smile, but that smile seemed so bitter and helpless.

He said weakly to the first wife:

"Death is like the extinguishing of a light, Bijun... I'm afraid I won't be able to see the day you ascend the throne..."

The tears of the eldest wife burst out like a flood, and she choked and said:

"No, godfather, you will be fine. You must hold on!"

"You have to... you have to... you have to strive for excellence..."

After saying that, my adoptive father's eyes instantly lost their luster and he stared straight at the tablet in front of him.

His hands seemed to have lost their support and suddenly fell down beside Xiao Quanzi, without a trace of life.

he's gone!

The eldest wife was so frightened that she was stunned and blood slowly flowed down her face.

The eldest wife finally reacted and shook her adoptive father's body desperately, but he no longer responded.

"Godfather! No, this is not true..."

The cries of the eldest wife echoed in the cave, but she could never wake up her adoptive father!

He just left forever in Xiao Quanzi's arms with his eyes wide open!
