Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 138 Concubine Ruxue

"I don't know if Xiangyun has left yet."

Daiyu lay on the bed in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon outside the window, and couldn't help muttering to herself.

Her eyes gradually became blurred, as if she saw the distant past and future.

She recalled every moment she spent with Xiangyun, and a faint sadness welled up in her heart.

These days, she didn't expect to meet Zijuan and Xiangyun. To be honest, she had been looking for them desperately, but nothing went as she wished.

Who knew that they would appear from the sky like gifts, and Xiangyun would become pregnant.

We were childhood playmates, and now that time has passed, those meetings were truly filled with deep affection and friendship!

She thought she would have more time to spend with them, and that she would have the chance to keep Zijuan and Xueyan by her side. But things didn't go as planned. Sigh...

At this moment, she was lying on the bed, feeling the warmth of the moonlight shining through the window on her face, but her thoughts drifted away involuntarily.

She thought silently: "I have disappeared for several days. Besides Xiaoling, I wonder if Xiaowan knows about it?"

She was worried about the safety of the two girls, especially in this huge palace. How would they live without her?

Thinking of this, her mood became heavier, and she even began to regret why she had touched the carved dressing table in the first place.

However, now everything is irreversible and she can only endure it all silently.

She sighed softly, closed her eyes, and tried to calm herself.

But the inner uneasiness surged into her heart like a tide, making it difficult for her to fall asleep.

Suddenly, the smell of burning paper drifted into the room from the window.

Daiyu walked to the window curiously and found that the old woman in the yard was burning paper money.

She saw the old woman squatting on the ground, holding a stack of paper money in her hand, and gently putting them into the brazier.

The flames burned brightly, illuminating the old woman's face, which was filled with sadness and sorrow.

The flying paper money for the dead floats in the air with the breeze, as if carrying people's thoughts and blessings for their deceased relatives.

Daiyu watched quietly, feeling inexplicably moved.

"What does this mean? Is the mother-in-law commemorating her relatives?" Daiyu wondered doubtfully.

This mother-in-law has no one to rely on and lives here alone.

Moreover, this place is like a secluded paradise, and no outsiders have come to visit this mother-in-law in the past few days.

So, who is she burning paper money for?

Maybe she lost an important family member or friend.

"Ruxue, Ruxue, I'm so sorry for you!"

Only the old woman's sad sobbing sound reached Daiyu's ears.

Daiyu originally thought that everyone had their own scars, so she didn't ask about hers.

But when Daiyu heard the word "like snow", she was shocked. "Like snow?"

Why does this name sound so familiar?

"Wait, Ruxue, isn't the prince's concubine called Ruxue?" Daiyu wondered in her heart, could it be that this old woman knew Ruxue?

Daiyu hurried out, took the old woman's hand, and said to her, "Don't be sad, Grandma. It's windy at night. Let's go back to the house!"

The old woman slowly raised her head, wiped her tears, and silently looked at the paper ashes flying in the sky.

She knew Daiyu cared about her, so she said hurriedly, "Go to sleep, I'll wait here!"

"Mother-in-law, let me sit with you for a while!" Daiyu said, and moved a chair for her mother-in-law, and the two of them sat down.

"I haven't asked you yet where you came from?" The old woman glanced at Daiyu and asked what was in her heart.

Daiyu thought for a moment and said softly, "Mother-in-law, who are you talking about, Ruxue?"

When the old woman heard Ruxue, tears as big as beans flowed from her eyes. She could only say in a sobbing voice: "I killed her!"

Daiyu suddenly looked at her in confusion. The old woman paused and said sadly, "I am her midwife!"

It turned out that the old woman was a midwife. She received an invitation from the first wife of Prince Beijing's Mansion to deliver the baby for the concubine Ruxue who was about to give birth.

The old woman said that when she first saw Ruxue, she was also stunned by her beauty. She had bright white teeth and skin whiter than snow. She was truly a peerless beauty.

Although she was pregnant, she was still very charming.

The first time she saw the snow-white fetus and the pointed belly, she knew it was a boy.

Everything was going smoothly. When she arrived at the palace, Ruxue was still a few days away from giving birth. To avoid any accidents, the eldest wife invited her to the palace early.

Moreover, Ruxue's fetal position is normal and the fetal movements are normal.

That day, as usual, she was waiting in the servants' room, waiting to be called at any time to deliver Ruxue's baby.

But I don’t know what happened that day. I ate something unclean and kept running to the toilet.

She thought she was just nervous, but suddenly she started vomiting and having diarrhea, feeling weak all over. Then she realized she had food poisoning.

Later she asked the maids to help her get some medicine, but everyone just looked on and left her to suffer.

Later, the maid in Ruxue's room came to her and said that the concubine suddenly had a stomachache.

She immediately became anxious, but she was so uncomfortable that she had no strength left. Seeing her like that, the girl hurriedly gave her some medicine to drink.

She gradually felt that her stomachache was less severe, so she ate something and followed the maid to the concubine's room.

She held Ruxue's hand and reassured her that she was the famous "Wang Yishou" in the capital and that the child she delivered was born smoothly.

At that time, Ruxue had been in pain for several hours and had no strength left in her body.

But after hearing her words, he endured the pain and nodded, indicating that he would follow her instructions.

She told Ruxue that it was already two fingers dilated, but she still needed to wait a little longer.

Next, if you feel the pain getting worse, try taking a deep breath and then exhaling slowly, which can relieve some of the pain.

In addition, maintaining a good attitude is very important for a smooth delivery.

Finally, she told Ruxue not to be nervous and to believe that she and her baby would get through this moment safely and healthily.

Having said this, the old woman stopped talking.

Hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Old woman, what happened next? Didn't everything sound normal?"

"It's me, it's all me, I'm the one who hurt her!"

The old woman suddenly burst into tears, and the sound seemed to break through this courtyard far away from the hustle and bustle.

She kept beating her chest and stamping her feet, tears pouring out like a dam breaking, as if she was using all her strength to express her regret and self-blame.

Then, the old woman knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together, and prayed devoutly to the Buddha: "Buddha, please forgive my mistakes!

Please bless Ruxue to rest in peace and stop her suffering..." Her voice trembled, filled with endless sorrow and pain.

Daiyu, who was standing by, was stunned by this sudden scene. She widened her eyes and looked at the old woman in front of her in disbelief.

She didn't understand what the old woman had done to Ruxue that made her so heartbroken and even beg for forgiveness from the Buddha.

At this moment, a strong curiosity surged in Daiyu's heart.

She wanted to know the truth and understand what happened between the old woman and Ruxue.

However, faced with the old woman's grief, she didn't know how to speak and could only stand quietly by and observe everything silently.
