Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 284: The Grand Wife Lets Lan Xin Leave the Palace

The eldest wife stared blankly at the paper ashes flying all over the room.

After a while, the paper ashes in the brazier gradually burned out, but the eldest wife still stood there motionless, her eyes empty and confused.

Seeing this, Cai Lian and others hurriedly and carefully picked up the brazier and hurriedly left the room.

In an instant, only the prince and his wife were left in the huge room.

The prince quietly looked at the strange yet familiar woman in front of him. He had never seen the eldest wife look so heartbroken.

The domineering and proud little princess Tong Jiabijun disappeared without a trace.

The prince quickly came to the side of the eldest wife and asked in a low voice:

"Bijun, can't we ever go back?

Even if you are her equal wife, you are still my family!"

However, the eldest wife seemed to be deaf to the prince's words and did not even lift her eyelids.

She stood there blankly like a body without a soul.

After a long time, he slowly said in a hoarse and trembling voice:

"Go away... From now on, don't ever set foot in my room again!"

The prince was startled when he heard this and was about to open his mouth to explain himself, but before he could say anything, the first lady pushed him away with all her strength.

Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled "bang" and the door closed tightly, blocking the prince outside.

Helplessly, the prince could only sigh, turn around and leave quickly.

Soon, the prince returned to Daiyu's room.

The moment the door closed, the eldest lady, who had been holding back her tears, could no longer control her inner sadness.

At this time, the eldest wife felt weak all over and her legs were soft. Finally, she could no longer support the weight of her body and slowly collapsed to the ground.

The eldest wife hugged her head tightly with both hands, curled up into a ball, like a wounded little animal, licking her wounds alone.

So, the eldest wife sat alone on the cold ground, letting her tears flow freely, from day to night...

She seemed to have lost all her essence, and she was in a daze.

Only Cai Lian kept knocking on the door, fearing that something might have happened to the eldest lady.

At first, the eldest wife didn't want to talk.

But later, Cailian fell to her knees outside the door, crying and shouting:

"Fujin, please take care of yourself!

Let me go in and pour you a cup of tea. I'll be right out once I see you're alright."

The eldest wife had no choice but to clear her throat and said calmly: "Lian'er, go ahead, I'm fine!"

Cai Lian had no choice but to continue guarding outside.

In this way, she would come to talk to the eldest lady every once in a while, and come to say hello every once in a while.

At night, Cailian brought some porridge from the small kitchen to warm up the eldest lady.

But no matter how I talked to her, she didn't respond.

Cailian was anxious for a moment and kept knocking on the door, shouting:

"Fujin, please say something, don't scare me!"

All of a sudden, all kinds of situations flashed through her mind. Cai Lian was so scared that she hurriedly called a few strong people from the gatehouse, and they all broke the door open together.

After everyone left, Cai Lian hurried to the bedside, opened the curtains, and said anxiously: "Fujin, please get up and have something to eat..."

But when she opened the curtain, she found no one inside.

Cailian cried out, "Fujin, where are you?"

Suddenly, a low voice came from the corner:

"Girl, why are you crying?"

When Cailian heard this, she turned around hurriedly and found that the eldest lady was waiting in the corner behind the desk.

Cai Lian hurried over and saw the eldest wife curled up there.

When the eldest wife got up and washed her face, Cailian hurried to bring the meal over. But the eldest wife said, "Leave it there. I'll be back soon."

"Fujin..." Cailian wanted to say, you haven't eaten for a day, and it's very cold outside at night, but before she could say anything, Fujin had already left.

The eldest wife was seen with her hair loose, her shoes slipping off, and a cloak casually draped over her. She was wandering in the corners of the palace like a homeless ghost.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she quickly went to the woodshed in the backyard.

The eldest wife tapped the cloud board lightly. She had been there for a long time, but there was no movement inside.

She called softly again: "Lan'er, are you asleep?"

There was still no response from inside.

She touched the key in her hand and said, "The prince said no one is allowed to enter."

The eldest wife looked around vigilantly. It was already the morning hour, late at night and quiet, and no one came here.

His hands seemed to be out of control. He quickly took out the key and opened the door as if possessed by a ghost.

She walked into the main room and called softly, "Lan'er..."

Lan Xin had fallen asleep. In her dream, she vaguely heard someone calling her, "Lan'er!"

She thought she was dreaming, so she quickly turned over and fell asleep again.

The eldest wife was immediately extremely anxious. She pulled Lan Xin's arm hard and shouted, "Lan'er, wake up quickly, I'll let you out!"

Lan Xin woke up and saw the eldest lady staring at her nervously. She thought she was dreaming.

Unexpectedly, the eldest wife whispered:

"Lan Xin, listen, I'm letting you out now!

It's cold and damp here, and in this winter month, you won't be able to survive!"

Lan Xin suddenly woke up. She rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she saw.

After a while, he said, "Fujin, are you serious? Do you want to let me go?

But how do you explain this to the prince?"

The eldest wife turned her head away silently and said coldly, "Don't worry, his heart is completely occupied with Lin Daiyu.

If others don't mention you, he won't remember you! Go away!"

After that, the eldest wife took out a bag of silver and a few pieces of jewelry from her clothes. She smiled and said, "This is a little money for you to travel with. When you settle down, you can find someone to live with!"

Lan Xin was stunned. It turned out that all this was true.

She hurriedly got out from the patched and moldy quilt and quickly put on her clothes.

When everything was cleaned up, she wanted to reach out but pulled her hand back.

The eldest wife thought she wanted to take the silver, but was too embarrassed to do so, so she hurriedly stuffed the silver into her hand.

He said loudly, "Here, it's for you!

You followed me, and now I can't protect myself. It's best for you to leave!

In this cold winter, no one would care if you died here!"

"Fujin...it's all my fault..."

Lan Xin cried and threw herself into the arms of the eldest lady.

Because he was too anxious, he accidentally touched the wound and couldn't help but cry out "Ouch".

She endured the pain and hurriedly grabbed the hand of the first wife, and the two hugged each other for a long time.

After a while, the eldest wife said anxiously:

"Okay, okay, stop crying and go!

This is the last time I will help you!"

Lan Xin quickly took the bag of change from the eldest lady's hand and turned to leave.

When she reached the gate of the courtyard, she suddenly turned back.

The eldest wife asked anxiously, "Why are you back again?"

Unexpectedly, Lan Xin did not say anything, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the eldest lady.

The eldest wife pulled Lan Xin up in a daze.

I only heard Lan Xin say with tears in her eyes:

"Fujin, I cannot express my gratitude enough for your kindness!

I will repay your kindness with all my heart someday!"

After saying that, she took out the letter that the First Lady had given her and handed it to the First Lady.

Unexpectedly, the first wife stuffed the letters into her bundle, turned around, and said blankly:

“Take it away, it’s useless!

It's all in vain!

You can burn it or throw it away, it’s up to you!

Never set foot in the palace again!"
