Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 109 Love but not getting it

Jiaorou couldn't help feeling sad when she saw Daiyu's sad expression.

As the prince's woman, if the prince didn't love Daiyu sincerely, how could she be so inseparable from him?

But I can’t say whether it’s jealousy or some other emotion.

But she was someone who never competed for favor, and there was no relationship between her and the prince; they were just using each other.

A marriage like hers cannot be considered emotional.

She had read some poetry and knew about the kind of love that lasts through life and death, but she had never truly experienced it.

She didn't dare. She didn't dare to love as passionately as Daiyu.

Therefore, this contradictory mentality made her sincerely like Daiyu.

She liked Daiyu's true nature and her attitude towards feelings, so after Daiyu entered the mansion, they gradually became close friends.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiaorou could only gently persuade Daiyu that there was still a long way to go.

Not only did I just get home today, I must go and pay my respects to the First Lady tomorrow morning.

Daiyu nodded with tears in her eyes and bid farewell to Jiaorou with tears in her eyes.

In order to avoid worrying Jiaorou, she ate a bowl of shredded chicken noodles in front of Jiaorou.

Daiyu turned around and told Xiaowan to bring the gift for Jiaorou, which turned out to be a piece of fine warm satin woven in Jiangning.

The weather is getting cooler, and I'll be able to cut clothes to wear soon.

She took the cloth with a gentle smile and gently told Daiyu to have a good rest and have a sweet dream.

As soon as Jiaorou left, Daiyu was afraid that Xiaowan and the others would worry, so she had to force herself to wash her face and change her clothes.

However, when everyone was asleep and it was late at night, Daiyu lay alone in bed, recalling every little detail of her time with the prince, and tears could not stop flowing.

She finally understood how deep the prince's love for her was.

She gently groped the bed sheet with one hand and suddenly smelled the faint scent of gardenia on the bed.

Only the prince likes the smell of gardenias, and his purse is always filled with dried gardenias.

Daiyu suddenly realized that the prince had been sleeping in her bed during the days when she was away.

She suddenly felt that the prince must be so lonely and desolate when he was not in the mansion!

My Lord, when you come back, Yu'er will never leave you again.

As Daiyu thought about it, her mood gradually calmed down. Coupled with the fatigue from the journey, she soon fell asleep.

"Girl, wake up, girl..."

Daiyu was still asleep when she heard Xiaowan calling her. She thought something had happened and got up.

She rubbed her eyes and asked softly, "Xiao Wan, what's wrong?"

Xiaowan whispered in Daiyu's ear, "Miss, have you forgotten that the concubine instructed us yesterday to go and pay our respects to the eldest concubine this morning?"

"Oh..." Daiyu sounded a little sleepy and quickly got up to wash and change clothes.

Xiaoling brought the ironed clothes and Daiyu happily changed into them.

After packing up, he hurried to pay his respects to the first wife.

When she came in, she saw that the front hall was already full of people.

Daiyu had no choice but to bow gently to the eldest lady and present the gift.

The eldest wife sat in the seat of honor. She nonchalantly let Cailian take the gift and then gave everyone a lecture.

After a few pleasantries, the eldest wife told everyone that since the prince was not in the mansion, the sisters should unite and live in harmony.

Daiyu greeted each room again and then gave gifts to everyone one by one.

After a simple greeting, the eldest lady said she was tired, and everyone dispersed.

"Humph, you're spreading rumors and misleading people, you vixen, who are you trying to show off your sick Xi Shi face to!"

The eldest lady watched Daiyu walk further and further away and cursed her in her heart.

She could not forget the prince's reluctance before he left, and she could not forget how she and her sisters went to see the prince off, but the prince did not want to leave in Concubine Yu's room.

Even though there was no Yu Fu Jin in that house, the prince was still reluctant to leave.

This incident deeply stimulated the first wife. Although she wanted to be the best woman in the world, she suddenly wanted the prince's love.

Although she understood that she couldn't have her cake and eat it too.

However, this complicated feeling almost made her collapse.

When Concubine Yu came to pay her respects in the morning, she really wanted to give her a warning, and now that the prince was not in the mansion, it would be easy to deal with a concubine.

But she had to stay calm and take a long-term view.

She watched coldly as the concubine Yu became more and more beautiful.

With bright white teeth and a smile that makes her look charming, all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison!

Her heart felt as if it were being scratched by a cat's claws.

She had something on Daiyu, but she hadn't found a suitable way to deal with her yet.

So she quietly took out a purse and asked Cailian to give it to Aunt Lan.

"Master, please accept me. I don't have anything to cling to anymore!

In a desolate mountain, a young man was knocking hard on the temple door.

"Master, I am truly devoted to Buddhism..." The young man said piously, and continued to bang on the door.

The monks in the temple were all busy chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha's name, and no one paid any attention to him.

"Young man, it's just a momentary impulse, let him do what he wants!" An old man with a white beard said disapprovingly while listening to the noise outside.

Gradually, the sound outside the door disappeared. The masters in the temple thought that he was just impulsive and went down the mountain.

Everyone went back to their own business and stopped talking about this matter.

The young man outside the door is Jiang Yuchen.

Ever since I met Xiangyun that day, seeing Xiangyun's indifferent attitude, I suddenly felt that everything was empty.

So I came to the temple today and wanted to convert to Buddhism.

But no matter how he knocked on the door, the masters in the temple would not open it for him.

This temple is different from other places. Due to its remote location, not many villagers come here to burn incense.

But I heard from others that the Bodhisattva here is very powerful, and a master here often goes down the mountain to help everyone with some Buddhist rituals.

Jiang Yuchen stood there quietly, staring at the closed temple door, his heart full of anticipation.

He had been here all day, from early morning until nightfall, and no one opened the door for him.

He knocked repeatedly, his voice echoing in the silent air, but the world behind the door seemed closed to him.

On early autumn nights, the temperature gradually drops and a hint of coolness permeates the air.

Jiang Yuchen was wearing thin clothes and began to feel the cold.

He couldn't help but shiver, hugging his arms tightly, trying to keep a little warmth.

The night dew grew thicker, soaking his clothes and making him feel even colder.

In desperation, Jiang Yuchen had to stand up and walk slowly to move his body to generate some heat.

He took small steps, pacing around the temple, hoping to warm up a little.

Jiang Yuchen looked up at the sky, looked at the bright moon, and fell into deep thought.

The flowers are the same every year, but the people are different every year!

He thought of Xiangyun, the woman who was as clingy as a cat.

The woman whom he deeply loved but was cruelly abandoned by him.

He regretted, he was sad, he was heartbroken that Xiangyun's husband was not him!

They should have lived in harmony and treated each other as equals, but a good marriage was ruined by their own weakness.

At this moment, she might have fallen asleep peacefully, or there might be someone else sleeping with her, but it had nothing to do with him.

As the only son in the family, he should have cut off his emotional ties, inherited the family business, followed the arrangements of his family, and obeyed his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words!

But he betrayed Xiangyun, and he ruined his love and marriage with his own hands!

He fell in love with Xiangyun the first time he saw her.

Just one glance, and it becomes eternal.

However, her father investigated Xiangyun's background, locked herself in the house, and unilaterally broke off the engagement with Xiangyun, causing Xiangyun to lose her mind and become dazed.

However, they could never go back. Xiangyun became someone else's bride, and she lived in regret.

He wanted to find inner peace by being accompanied by the ancient Buddha and the green lamp, but he couldn't let go of that love!

He wanted to elope with Xiangyun, but Xiangyun was pregnant with someone else's child.

What is heartbreaking is that Xiangyun not only forgot herself, but also forgot the feelings they had for each other.
