Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 258 Dafu Jin Night Meeting Lan Xin

By the time Xiao Luzi caught up with the prince, he was already out of breath.

But he had no time to rest, and shouted at the prince at the top of his voice:

"Your Majesty, it is too dangerous for you to travel alone like this!

And if we return to the capital this time, we should go back to the palace first to report to His Majesty the Emperor!"

But who would have thought that the prince didn't pay any attention to Xiao Luzi's dissuasion.

Even said impatiently:

"Xiao Luzi, you are too fussy!

As a tall and strong man, what is there to be afraid of?

Don't stop me!"

After saying this, the prince continued to shout without turning his head: "Gee, gee, gee!"

Accompanied by the billowing dust raised by the horse's hooves, the prince disappeared from Xiaoluzi's sight like lightning.

Only Xiao Luzi was left standing there alone, watching the prince walk farther and farther away until he completely disappeared.

He kept shouting:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Seeing that the prince had walked a long way forward, Xiao Luzi had to return to the team and convey the prince's orders to General Zheng and others.

……

That night, everything was silent and the entire palace was immersed in tranquility.

The people in the mansion had already fallen asleep, and the courtyard, which was usually noisy, was now silent.

However, the eldest wife suddenly woke up from her sleep.

She slowly sat up, her eyes fixed on a certain point in the darkness, as if she was thinking about something.

A moment later, the eldest wife quickly put on the thick padded jacket and gently put on a black cloak, her movements skillful and neat.

Immediately afterwards, the eldest wife softly called the maid Cailian, and the two of them walked towards the woodshed in the backyard together.

Along the way, Cai Lian was filled with doubts and puzzlement. Finally, she couldn't help but lower her voice and asked:

"Madam, it's so late, why are you still going to visit the person who made the mistake in person?"

The eldest wife paused slightly, reached out and pulled the string of her cloak, wrapping herself tighter.

Then, she replied calmly:

"Cai Lian, even a ferocious tiger knows how to repay its parents.

Lan Xin did something wrong, but she helped me before, so how could I be so heartless?

Hearing what the eldest lady said, Cai Lian nodded as if she understood, but she still followed the eldest lady closely and continued to walk forward.

The moonlight fell on them, casting two long shadows, like a mysterious painting.

Before long, they arrived at the door of the woodshed.

Looking up, the place was pitch black, like an endless abyss, emitting a chilling and creepy atmosphere.

Cai Lian couldn't help but gasp, and a wave of fear involuntarily surged in her heart.

She held onto the corner of Dafujin's clothes tightly, her body trembling slightly, and said with a little panic in her voice:

"Fujin, it's so scary here!

I...I'm a little scared."

However, the eldest wife remained unusually calm. She gently patted Cailian's hand and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

With the faint light cast by the dim kerosene lamp, Cai Lian mustered up her courage and was about to move closer to the crack in the door to call Lan Xin's name.

But at this moment, the eldest wife quickly stopped her.

The eldest wife lowered her voice and said softly:

"Don't shout. This is the key to the woodshed. It will be easier to talk after you open the door."

Hearing this, Cai Lian was stunned, her face full of shock.

She looked at the eldest wife in disbelief and asked hesitantly:

"Open... open?"

The eldest wife stared at the darkness in front of her with an expressionless face and responded in a cold tone:

"Hurry up! If others see us here, it might cause a lot of trouble."

Cai Lian felt a little uneasy.

But he had no choice but to take the rusty key that smelled old.

Her hands trembled slightly, as if the small key weighed a thousand pounds.

Finally, she mustered up the courage to insert the key into the keyhole and turned it gently. With a "click", the door of the woodshed opened.

As the shabby wooden door was slowly pushed open, a strong musty smell hit me in the face.

The smell was a disgusting mixture of dampness and decay.

Dafujin and Cailian subconsciously raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses, trying to block the pungent smell from entering their noses.

There was dead silence all around, without a sound, so quiet that it was creepy.

This eerie silence made Cai Lian's heart beat even faster, as she was already filled with fear. She involuntarily stepped back, staggering.

In a panic, she grabbed the eldest wife's clothes tightly and said with a trembling voice:

"Fujin...are we really going in?

It’s so scary here!”

The eldest lady felt the cold sweat that continued to form on Cailian due to excessive fear, soaking her sleeves.

She forced herself to calm down, gently held Cailian's cold and trembling little hand, and whispered comfortingly:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here.

Now that things have come to this, let’s go in and take a look.”

After saying that, the eldest wife took a deep breath and took the lead to step into the gloomy and dark woodshed.

I saw the eldest lady walking with firm steps straight towards the main room of the woodshed.

Cai Lian, who followed behind her, carefully held up a kerosene lamp that emitted a dim light, as if the faint light could dispel the darkness and fear around her.

When they arrived at the door of the main room, the eldest wife stopped, gently stretched out her hand, and tapped the old cloud board on the door with her fingertips.

Accompanied by a slight knocking sound, the eldest wife lowered her voice and called softly:

"Lanxin, Lanxin, are you asleep?"

However, there was silence in the house and no response.

The eldest wife did not give up and called out several times in succession, but still got no response from Lan Xin.

Cailian, who was standing aside, gradually felt a little timid. She involuntarily moved closer to the eldest wife and said in a low voice:

"Fujin, I'm afraid Miss Lanxin has fallen asleep.

Otherwise, let’s go back first!

This place is scary..."

The eldest wife lowered her head slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied calmly:

"Just wait and see."

She thought, what's the point of fear? She is Tong Jia Bijun! She must see Lan Xin tonight!

Just as the two were waiting quietly, suddenly, a creepy sound broke the silence.

The tightly closed door made a sharp creaking sound and slowly opened a crack.

The sudden sound frightened both Dafu Jin and Cailian, who were turning around to talk to her, so much that they trembled all over and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.

The eldest wife thought it was Lan Xin coming over, so she hurriedly called out:

"Lan'er, are you okay?"
