Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 491 Madam Tong is seriously ill

The fat lady smiled, slowly extended a finger, and whispered:

"Yes, that's one hundred taels!"

After hearing this, Aunt Wang couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at Fatty with astonishment, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

Seeing this, Fatty hurriedly explained:

"Aunt Wang, please don't misunderstand me. I really don't have that much money on hand right now.

You also know that I haven't recovered the money I lent out at high interest rates yet.

So, I'll give you a hundred taels first, is that okay with you?"

Aunt Wang sighed quietly and said:

"Fatty, you are so arrogant!

Even if our whole family works hard for several years, we may not be able to earn this one hundred taels of silver!

I'm not selling my daughter, you just need to give me some token of your appreciation, why do you have to do this?"

But the fat lady was not happy!

She slammed the table, stood up, and shouted at the top of her voice:

"Aunt Wang, you can't say that!

As the saying goes, marry her and she will become your concubine!

My son must marry your daughter in a formal way. How can we just give her a little token of appreciation?"

As she spoke, the fat lady's eyes fell on Lotus's belly, a smug smile appeared on her face, and then she said with a smile:

"Look, Lotus is really doing well!

I was wondering why the magpies are always making such a rubbish call these days!

This year is a good omen, I must hold a grand wedding and marry her off with great fanfare!"

Aunt Wang felt that the other party was generous while her family was poor, so she felt helpless and finally nodded in agreement.

The next day arrived in a blink of an eye.

Fatty did not break her promise. She found a matchmaker and had someone write down the birthdays of Tiechui and Lianhua.

Since Lianhua had lost her memory, her birthday was written as the day when Old Man Wang picked her up. As for her age, she was just randomly written.

Aunt Wang and Old Man Wang looked at the marriage certificate carefully, feeling a mixture of emotions.

They looked at it once, and then looked at it again under the sun, and finally felt that this marriage was the best!

Tiechui was a simple and honest boy, and the fat lady readily sent over a betrothal gift of one hundred taels. Everything was done according to the rules, with three matchmakers, six betrothal gifts, three letters and six ceremonies.

This made them both feel very relieved.

Lotus did not suffer from morning sickness as usual today. Instead, she felt drowsy all day and even felt too weak to move.

The New Year is approaching, and Tiechui is naturally busy delivering New Year's goods to relatives, leaving Lianhua alone at home.

Lotus lay on the couch as usual, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and soon she fell into a deep sleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, a mournful cry suddenly rang in her ears:

"Mother, mother, don't you want us anymore?"

Lotus suddenly opened her eyes and looked around, only to see a silver-haired woman holding two boys, standing quietly in front of her.

The old woman's figure was looming in the mist, making it difficult for Lotus to see her face, but the two children were clearly visible.

Lotus stared at them, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Lotus tried hard to recall and piece together the fragments of their memories. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember who they were!

This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made her feel heartbroken!

Lotus decided to slowly approach them and find out who they were.

She reached out and tried to hold the little boy's hand.

Just when her hand was about to touch the little boy, the two children shrank back at the same time like frightened deer, avoiding her touch.

When Lianhua saw this, her heart sank.

She didn't understand why the two children were so wary of her. Didn't they know her?

Just then, the old woman finally spoke.

She complained endlessly, "Jun'er, I'm leaving now. You guys should just live well!"

Lianhua hurried to chase her, but the woman disappeared in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind. She then went to look for the two children, but the children also slowly disappeared!

She just stood there in the deserted wilderness, full of doubts, as if she had been abandoned!

"Lotus, lotus..."

After a burst of rapid shouts, Lotus slowly opened her eyes and gradually regained consciousness from her sleep.

She looked around in a daze, secretly sighing in her heart that everything was just a dream.

Lianhua rubbed her sleepy eyes, her mind still constantly thinking about the two little boys and the old woman in her dream. Who were they?

"Sister, look quickly, what am I holding in my hand?" Tiechui's face was full of excitement.

Tiechui was holding a bag in his hand. He walked up to Lianhua, carefully poured the contents of the bag into a bowl, and then handed it to Lianhua.

Tiechui smiled foolishly:

"Honghua heard that I got married and you were pregnant, so she went to her neighbor's house to buy milk!

If you like to drink it, I have no problem getting it every day!"

After hearing what Tiechui said, Lianhua hurriedly picked up the bowl and took a sip. However, the strong smell of milk made her frown.

“Why is there such a strong smell…”

Lotus muttered and put the bowl down.

Seeing this, Tiechui slapped his head and suddenly realized:

"Oh, look at my memory! Honghua told me to add honey!

You definitely can’t drink milk like this!”

As he spoke, he turned around and took out a small jar of locust flower honey from the cabinet, opened the lid, and scooped a little into the bowl with a spoon.

"Come on, sister, try it again."

Tiechui handed the bowl back to Lianhua and looked at her expectantly.

Lianhua took the bowl, leaned in and smelled it. Suddenly, a faint fragrance of locust flowers came to her nose, which made her feel happy.

She drank it in big gulps, and the sweet taste made her exclaim in admiration:

"Well, it tastes delicious!"

Tiechui looked at Lianhua's satisfied expression and started laughing too. He scratched his head and said happily:

"I told you, it would taste even better with some acacia flower honey! My son will grow stronger today!"

After Tiechui left, Lianhua couldn't help but wonder - who were they in the dream?

……

At the gate of Duke Tong’s mansion.

The cold wind blew the prince's hair into all directions and messed up Daiyu's clothes.

As the New Year approaches, Mrs. Tong's health deteriorates. Xiao Luzi learns from the owner of a funeral clothing store that the Tong family has even secretly prepared funeral clothes for Mrs. Tong in order to bring good luck to her.

Daiyu squeezed the prince's hand tightly and said softly:

"My Lord, please wait a little longer.

After all, it’s such an important matter, we in the palace can’t fail to come and express our regards.”

The prince heard this and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the door open.

Master Tong walked out slowly. His hair seemed to have turned all white overnight. His face looked haggard and exhausted.

Just now, when he heard the steward's report, the anger in Mr. Tong's heart was instantly ignited.

"Master, Prince Beijing and his wife are here to visit!"

Master Tong cursed in his heart that the position of Concubine that originally belonged to his daughter was taken away by someone else, and Jun'er has not been found yet!

He suddenly threw the account book in his hand aside, without even raising his eyelids, and said indifferently:

"Let them be!"

But the housekeeper said:

"Master, I'll show you a good time tonight! We have to give the prince some face now, because we'll be counting on him in the future!"

Master Tong was full of suspicion. What kind of fun thing had he not seen before? His wife was already in this state, and he couldn't find his daughter. What was the fun of living?

But the housekeeper said, "Master, wait till evening. Whatever you are worried about, I will make it happen for you!"

Master Tong thought - I want Bijun to come back, can you?

I want my wife to get better, can you?

He thought about it and finally decided to save face, so he put on his coat and went to the door.

The cold wind was as sharp as a knife, freezing and biting, blowing mercilessly across the earth.

Master Tong stood in the cold wind, his figure seemed a little thin in the wind, but his sharp eyes were like cold stars, icy and sharp.

He first glanced at Daiyu, and at that moment, a chill seemed to penetrate Daiyu's body.

Upon seeing this, the prince hurried forward and paid his respects to Mr. Tong together with Daiyu.

When Master Tong saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. His cold and handsome face was like ice and snow in the cold winter, without a trace of warmth.

Under normal circumstances, Master Tong would have definitely scolded the prince mercilessly.

After all, the prince had been searching for Bijun for a long time, but he couldn't find any news about her. His wife missed her day and night, and she became terminally ill. Now she is probably dying!

Master Tong just said coldly:

"Come in, it's rare that you have such filial piety!"
