Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 147 Hui Cailian's Secret Love

"Madam, I've found someone for you!"

Cai Lian walked in with a sweet smile.

At this time, the eldest wife was sitting at the table practicing calligraphy with great concentration.

After hearing Cai Lian's voice, she immediately put down the brush in her hand and stood up.

She looked at Cai Lian with a smile, a hint of anticipation and curiosity in her eyes.

Cailian walked up to the eldest wife and said softly, "Mrs. Daifu, I have brought the person here. Please come and see him."

The eldest wife nodded and signaled Cailian to take the person to the outer room to wait.

Then she slowly walked to the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror carefully.

The person in the mirror has a dignified and beautiful face, a firm and gentle gaze, and exudes an aura of maturity and stability.

She nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this makeup look was both decent and generous, while also retaining the elegant temperament of the hostess.

After tidying her clothes, the eldest wife walked out of the inner room with light steps and came to the outer hall of her room.

I saw a handsome young man standing in the outer hall.

The eldest wife couldn't help but tremble in her heart. This man was really a handsome young man, just like the prince when he was young.

The young man saw a mature and steady woman walking towards him with graceful steps.

He knew that the mansion of a marquis must be occupied by a noble lady, so he did not dare to look up at the person in front of him, nor did he dare to glance at this magnificent house.

He was in urgent need of money, and when he heard from a friend about this job, he found a way to come here.

But when he really walked into the palace, he was attracted by every blade of grass, every brick and tile here.

This was the first time he had entered such a wealthy compound, and he was afraid of any mishaps.

Even the servants' attire and dressing was extraordinary.

When Cai Lian saw the eldest lady sitting at the table, she hurriedly asked the young man to pay her respects.

The young man then hurried over to pay his respects.

He was nervous and afraid, and said in a trembling voice: "I pay my respects to Madam Fu Jin, and wish her good luck!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart, fearing that this noble lady would find fault with him.

"Stand up, can you really imitate anyone's handwriting?" The eldest wife stared silently at the person in front of her.

He was only about 20 years old, just coming of age.

But he couldn't hide his handsomeness, elegance and charm.

“In reply to your question, I have read a lot of books since I was young, and was forced by my grandfather to practice calligraphy.

Now I can easily master calligraphy from all schools!

"Study hard and become an official. I wanted to take the imperial examination, but my family has fallen on hard times and I'm in urgent need of money."

The young man spoke to the eldest lady with great trepidation and kowtowed lightly.

The eldest wife nodded and smiled as she told Cailian, "Take him away and give him 20 taels of silver first. From tomorrow on, he should come to my place every day to practice calligraphy!"

After listening to this, the young man followed Cai Lian out neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Suddenly, he turned around, smiled, and bowed to the first wife, saying softly, "Wife, I won't accept rewards without merit. Wait until you see my calligraphy before you reward me!"

After the boy finished speaking, he left.

The eldest wife quickly gave Cailian a look, asking her to make sure to talk to the young man and come over tomorrow.

"Cailian, is everything ready? Did he promise to come tomorrow?" The eldest wife gently took a cake and put it into her mouth.

"Yes, Master, don't worry!"

After Cai Lian finished speaking, she whispered a few kind words into the ear of the Grand Concubine.

The eldest wife suddenly discovered that Cailian's face was inexplicably red with shame.

"Cailian, the Xiaoling we locked up a few days ago, please send her back to Cuizhu Garden today.

By the way, let's go and see how the so-called servants of Yufu Jin are living here!" When the eldest concubine mentioned Yufu Jin, her tone was inexplicably emphasized.

"Yes, Madam!" Cai Lian said and was about to go to the servants' room to send Xiaoling back.

But the eldest wife stopped her.

"Cai Lian, come back first."

The eldest wife walked up to Cailian and gently stroked her hand.

Yes, the girl who is close to me is already 18 years old, which is the prime of her life.

"Good girl, you have been with me for so many years, I will definitely choose a husband for you!

A common couple from a small family is much better off than this noble family!"

After the eldest wife finished speaking with deep meaning, she looked at Cai Lian.

"Fujin, what are you talking about? I'm still young!"

Cai Lian only felt her face red and burning, but she was happy in her heart.

"This large mansion is not the best place to be!

If I had a choice, I would still prefer monogamy, for life!"

The eldest wife murmured to herself.

After hearing these words, Cai Lian was suddenly stunned. These were not the words of a prince's wife.

"Alright, you've been with me for so many years, I won't treat you unfairly. Let's go down and see what's going on over at Cuizhu Garden!"

The first wife realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly asked Cai Lian to leave.

As soon as Cai Lian left, the First Lady thought that she still had choices, unlike me, who was nominally the Princess of Rong, and only I knew whether I was happy or not.

"Xiaoling, the eldest lady asked me to take you back!"

Cai Lian quietly came to the servant's room and saw Xiao Ling resting with her eyes closed.

"Sister Cailian, are you saying that I can go back to Cuizhu Garden now?"

Xiaoling smiled happily.

"Yes, but since you call me sister, I must tell you a few things!" Cai Lian took Xiao Ling's hand, feeling very worried.

Xiaoling blinked her eyes and asked in confusion: "Sister, you can just tell me."

"During the few days you were locked up here, servants from Yufujin's family came over.

Although Yu Fujin is gone, I still hope that you can consider yourself first.

Say what you should say, and pretend you don’t know what you shouldn’t say.

As a servant of the palace, you must keep your mouth shut when necessary!"

After Cai Lian finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Ling meaningfully.

Xiaoling finally understood. No wonder the eldest lady let her go. It turned out that someone had come from the Lin Mansion.

She knew a little about Miss Lin's life experience. She only knew that her grandmother's family was very powerful and her mother's family was already a branch family with few descendants. But now, a servant actually came to find her for the girl.

She couldn't help but feel more secure.

The eldest wife was also wary of the girl's family.

Xiaoling nodded in agreement, and then returned to Cuizhu Garden with Cailian.

"Xiaoling, are you okay?"

Xiaowan was cleaning the yard in Cuizhuyuan. When she saw Xiaoling coming back, she hurried over to greet her.

She had a thousand questions in her mind, but when she saw Cai Lian following her, she had no choice but to smile and pretend to be calm to greet Xiao Ling.

"Xiaoling, come back and have a good rest. I'm going to report to the eldest lady first!"

After Cai Lian finished speaking, she looked around for the servants from Lady Yu's family, but unexpectedly she didn't see them.

But when she saw Xiaowan, she found that this person looked very familiar!

Although she was a maid brought back by Concubine Yu and had been in the mansion for some time, she had seen her before.

Who is she? Where have I seen her before? Cailian was secretly thinking about it, but was brought back to reality by Xiaoling's words.

"Sister Cai Lian, please go back first!" Xiao Ling said, and then expressed her gratitude to Cai Lian with a smile.
