Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 413 Dare to Swear by Hongrui

The eldest wife looked ashen and sat in the carriage like a zombie.

My adoptive father’s voice, smile, and appearance are still in my mind, but in just a few hours, he has passed away!

She is like a rootless duckweed. Her husband's family doesn't love her, and the Tong family are not her biological parents!

As time was getting later, according to the rules of the Tong family, the children had to return to the house at 10:00 p.m., otherwise Master Tong would whip them without mercy!

During the day, the eldest wife still secretly left the house, and Xuan'er couldn't leave him at night.

Xiao Quanzi cried silently beside him. He took out the burial clothes he had prepared long ago and changed his adoptive father into them, while comforting the eldest wife:

"Master, don't worry. I'll be guarding the master here. You can go back home without any worries!"

The eldest wife looked at her adoptive father's peaceful face. He was lying there as if he was asleep.

However, she knew in her heart that her adoptive father would never wake up again.

She picked up the scissors tremblingly, cut off a lock of her hair, and placed it in front of her adoptive father's bed.

However, when she turned around to leave, her feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

She just ran to the cave entrance, but couldn't help but stop, and the reluctance in her heart surged like a tide.

Finally, the first wife returned to her adoptive father's bed, closed his eyes, threw herself on the bed, and cried out:

"Godfather, why don't you wait for Bijun? Wait for me to help you accomplish your great cause!

Why don’t you see that day coming with your own eyes? "

The crying of the eldest lady echoed in the empty cave, and her blood-curdling cries resounded throughout the valley!

Xiao Quanzi chased her away again: "Master, please leave quickly, so that I won't worry!"

He had no choice but to personally send the eldest wife to the carriage and instruct the coachman to make sure to send his mistress back to Tong Mansion safely.

The eldest wife didn't know how she entered the Tong Mansion.

It was late at night, so she had to wipe the tears from her face with a handkerchief and pretend that she was late from playing with the ladies in another mansion.

The eldest wife pretended to be drunk and staggered towards the room.

Night falls and a gentle breeze blows.

The wind seemed to know the wife's mood and gently dried the remaining tears on her face, but it could not soothe the reluctance and hatred deep in her heart.

Mr. Tong drank some wine at Mr. Fu Liu's house in the afternoon and went to rest when he returned home.

Mrs. Tong accompanied Hongxuan and studied together in Bijun's room.

Suddenly, there was a noise from the door.

Hongxuan pricked up his ears alertly. After hearing the sound, he quickly threw down the Book of Songs in his hand and flew to the door like a happy little bird.

When Hongxuan opened the door and saw that it was his mother who came back, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly threw himself into the arms of the eldest lady.

The first wife hugged Hongxuan tightly, and sadness suddenly surged in her heart, but she still tried hard not to let the tears flow down. She said to Hongxuan softly:

"Go tell grandma to get some rest."

Mrs. Tong heard the noise and walked out of the room. When she saw Bijun coming back, she couldn't help but feel worried.

She guessed that Bijun must be drinking and playing cards with the ladies in other houses, so she chatted a few words and then turned back to her room to rest.

Hongxuan curled up on the bed like a little kitten. When she and Xuan'er were alone in the room, she cried out softly in her heart:

"Godfather, Bijun will definitely make you smile in your grave!"

……

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The prince was sleeping soundly in his study.

These urgent cries, as if coming from the underworld, lingered in his ears.

The prince was awakened by the sudden sound. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and initially thought it was just a nightmare.

However, when he looked closely, his jaw almost dropped in shock - he saw that the eldest wife had returned to the mansion without him noticing!

Bijun stood quietly in the study with her back to the prince.

Her figure seemed a little blurry in the dim candlelight.

What was even more surprising was that there seemed to be clouds and mist behind Bijun, which added an indescribable weirdness to her whole person.

Seeing this, the prince's heart tightened. He thought Hongxuan had also returned with Bijun, so he quickly walked to the eldest wife and asked her anxiously:

"Bijun, where is Xuan'er?"

The eldest lady did not answer his question, but instead let out a creepy and weird laugh.

The laughter echoed in the silent night, as if it came from the depths of hell, making people shudder.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The eldest wife's laughter echoed in the study, and the prince's face turned pale in an instant.

He widened his eyes and looked at the Bijun in front of him in disbelief, who had become so unfamiliar, and a sudden ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you are truly unique!"

The eldest wife suddenly stopped laughing and said coldly:

"People before them would forget their old love once they found a new one, but you are different!"

After saying this, the eldest wife walked slowly to the side of the prince. She stretched out her jade hand and gently touched the prince's face.

A cool feeling came from her fingertips, as if it could penetrate the prince's internal organs and reach his heart.

The prince's body trembled slightly: Why are Bijun's fingers so cold?

Suddenly, she put her face close to the prince's face, sighed softly, and said softly:

"You, not only have you forgotten your wife, you even don't want your child!"

These words hit the prince's heart like a heavy hammer.

Upon hearing this, the prince's face turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly argued loudly:

"No, no, Bijun, listen to me, I have never forgotten Xuan'er!"

However, just as the prince finished speaking, a child suddenly appeared on the empty hands of the first wife.

The prince took a closer look and was shocked. Isn’t this the baby that Daiyu had just given birth to - Hongrui!

The eldest wife gently stroked Hongrui's pink little face with her hand, but a cold smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

Her eyes were like cold stars, staring straight at the prince, and she said coldly:

"Really? Then swear on him!

If you tell even one falsehood, he will be killed without a burial place!"
