Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 345 New Year's Eve - A Strange Letter

The prince's eyes seemed to be burning with rage at this moment. The anger made his eyes widen. He clenched his teeth tightly and his cheeks bulged slightly.

The prince raised his hand and was about to slap the eldest wife's pretty face while speaking.

At this critical moment, Daiyu flashed between the two men like a gust of wind.

Daiyu stretched out her jade hand, gently grasped the prince's raised arm, and slowly pulled it down.

Everyone present was stunned and couldn't recover for a while.

But Daiyu was not at all flustered. She took a deep breath and said loudly:

"Sister, the wind is so strong right now, you should take Hongjin back to the room quickly!

Don’t let the child catch a cold.”

The eldest wife obviously did not expect Daiyu to be so calm, and she was stunned.

Thinking back to how she had said those things she shouldn't have said just because she wanted to have a good conversation, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

However, now that things have come to this, regret is of no use.

Unexpectedly, the prince had completely lost his mind at this time.

He turned to Xiao Luzi and shouted:

"Xiao Luzi, bring Hong Jin to me immediately and take him to Lady Lin's room.

Tonight, I will take him out to watch the fireworks."

The eldest wife watched helplessly as the man who had once doted on her in every way but had now become so heartless.

My heart felt like a bottle of five flavors had been overturned, with all kinds of tastes intertwined together, such as sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.

Especially when she realized that the prince had done this in front of everyone in the mansion, she felt even more humiliated!

That feeling is like a dumb person eating bitter herbs - unable to express the pain.

Daiyu's mind suddenly started to work rapidly.

So, while no one was paying attention, she quietly winked at Xiaowan and whispered:

"Xiao Wan, go and bring Hong Jin here quickly.

Remember, don’t make it public.”

Hongjin followed his wet nurse and walked over like a little meat ball.

Daiyu took advantage of the fact that the eldest wife was not paying attention, pulled the prince aside, and whispered:

"Let Hongjin choose who to go with tonight!

I'm getting heavier, so it's better for the child to stay with her mother!"

At this moment, Hongjin took his little feet happily and ran towards the prince impatiently.

Seeing that he was about to jump into the prince's arms, the prince immediately showed a doting smile on his face and quickly opened his arms to welcome this cute little guy.

Hongjin let out a chuckle and without hesitation dove headfirst into the prince's chest.

The prince took advantage of the situation and held him firmly in his arms. Then, he walked to the eldest wife with Hongjin in his arms and said softly:

"Bijun, today is New Year's Eve.

How about this, let Hongjin choose who to sleep with tonight! "

After the prince finished speaking, he lowered his head and asked Hongjin softly:

"Jin'er, tell me, who do you want to sleep with tonight?"

Hong Jin's small body now nestled even tighter in the prince's arms, blinking her big eyes and saying coquettishly in her childish voice:

"I want to sleep with Auntie tonight!"

When the eldest wife heard these words with her own ears, she felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue. Her heart skipped a beat, and an indescribable heartache spread instantly.

She stood there in a daze, letting the cold wind whistle across her cheeks, but she didn't feel the cold at all.

At this moment, she felt empty inside, as if she had lost all her support and warmth, as if she had been ruthlessly abandoned by the whole world.

The eldest wife subconsciously turned her head to look at Daiyu beside her.

At this moment, Daiyu was holding her belly and standing beside the prince with a bright look on her face.

The prince held Hongjin tightly and looked at Daiyu. The three of them looked so harmonious, just like a real family of three.

In comparison, I became an outsider who didn't fit in, and seemed so redundant and awkward.

The eldest wife felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a dead fly. She angrily took Caidie back to her room.

No matter how the prince shouted behind her:

"Bijun, remember to come to the New Year's Eve family dinner tonight!"

The eldest wife left without looking back.

Daiyu also said that she was a little tired, so the prince followed her back to the room with the child in his arms.

As soon as he returned to Cuizhu Garden, Hongjin felt as if he had entered a mysterious world. He got down from the prince's arms and ran around.

Daiyu was afraid that the children would be naughty and get hurt, so she asked Xiaowan and Xiaoling to follow carefully.

As they left the room, Daiyu whispered to the prince:

"Quickly send him back to the eldest lady's room!

Bringing her here like this, how heartbreaking it is for the Grand Concubine!"

The prince sat down and said loudly:

“It’s just about bringing him here to stay for one night.

I promised him!"

Daiyu still wanted to act coquettishly to get the prince's approval.

But unexpectedly, Hongjin burst into tears in the yard at this moment.

The prince and Daiyu immediately hurried to the yard, only to see Xiaowan holding Hongjin and Xiaoling teasing her nearby.

He must have been tired from playing and wanted to sleep. He could not see the eldest wife, so he cried and called only for his mother.

Hongjin glanced at the prince, then at Daiyu, and seeing that neither of them was his mother, he burst into tears.

Xiaowan naturally knew that she couldn't let Daiyu become enemies with the first wife because of a child.

He anxiously said to the prince: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is New Year's Day!

The child is crying like this, refusing to eat or drink. What should we do if he gets sick during Chinese New Year?

The prince glanced at Daiyu, but Daiyu shouted sternly:

"In that case, why don't you send it back quickly!

No one can afford to delay the child's well-being!"

Xiaowan and Xiaoling immediately picked up the child and rushed to the eldest lady's room.

As soon as they left, the prince thought that it was still early for the family dinner, Daiyu was pregnant, and Hongjin had been making a fuss for half a day, so he let Yu'er have a good rest.

The eldest wife was lying on the bed, worrying alone.

Cailian had just brought Hongxuan over when she saw the eldest lady lying on the bed like a zombie. When she asked, she found out that Hongjin had been taken to Mrs. Lin's room.

Cailian had no choice but to ask the wet nurse to take Hongxuan away, leaving only the first wife and Cailian in the room.

The eldest wife could no longer hold back her tears as she looked at Cailian sitting alone beside her bed.

The eldest wife cried and slapped the bed, shouting, "What sin have I committed?

My own son won't follow me, and my own husband ignores me!"

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Xiaowan and Xiaoling came in carrying Hongjin.

The eldest wife wiped her tears hastily and came to Hongjin without wearing shoes.

She couldn't believe what she saw. How could that woman be so kind?

The eldest wife almost cried as she hugged Hongjin in her arms. Xiaoling and Xiaowan paid their respects to the eldest wife and left.

As soon as they left, the eldest wife hugged Hongjin tightly in her arms and burst into tears again.

Hongjin's chubby little hands gently stroked the tears that were sliding down the eldest lady's cheeks.

His little mouth trembled slightly, and he sobbed softly:

"Mother, please don't cry. Hongjin will never leave you again!"

When the eldest wife heard her son's words, her heart felt as if it were illuminated by the warm sunshine and instantly melted into a pool of spring water.

She quickly stretched out her arms and hugged Hongjin tightly to the bed.

Seeing this, Cai Lian hurried forward and handed over a cup of warm tea.

After Hongjin took the teacup, he took a small sip and then curled up like a kitten, nestling in the warm embrace of the eldest lady.

The eldest wife's face was covered with tears. While crying, she reached out her hand and gently patted Hongjin's back, trying to coax him to sleep.

However, unexpectedly, the little guy, who was already a little confused, suddenly opened his eyes and became extremely awake.

He was seen blinking his big eyes, staring straight at the eldest lady who was still crying in front of him.

Then, like a magic trick, he took out a piece of candy from his small pocket and carefully put it into the mouth of the eldest lady.

He mumbled in a baby voice:

"Mother, have a piece of candy, and you will stop crying!"

Cailian, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel soft in her heart. She squatted down and gently touched Hongjin's head. She asked softly:

"Jin'er is such a good kid!

Tell your aunt quickly, why did you come back so suddenly? "

After hearing Cailian's question, Hongjin reached into the small pocket again and took out another identical piece of candy.

He peeled off the thin layer of candy wrapper, put it into Cailian's mouth, and looked up at Cailian.

He said with a smile:

"Aunt Xiaowan told me that Auntie doesn't like children!

Only a mother can love her own child!"

After saying this, she did not forget to wink at the Grand Concubine and Cai Lian, looking very playful.

The eldest wife held Hongjin in her arms. Hongjin was almost unable to breathe under the pressure of the eldest wife and whispered:

"Mother, you're holding me too tight!"

The eldest wife cried again. She felt that her life was a complete failure. That woman had easily taken away everything she cared about!

Suddenly, the door opened, and Caidie came out rashly, stammering:

"Dafujin, please go and take a look, the former concubine Lan is here!

The whole house was in an uproar, and she also brought a strange letter, saying that Lady Lin was having an affair!"
