Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 470 I Realize I Was Wrong Back Then

The prince raised his head slightly, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Siyu.

Her arms were half exposed, her fair skin looking particularly alluring in the candlelight. Her gleaming gilded earrings swayed gently with her movements, captivating the heart.

At this moment, the prince was still immersed in the girl he met during the day. He felt that Siyu would be giving birth next month!

How could he have such thoughts!

Thinking of this, the prince walked straight to the bed without saying a word, picked up the thick brocade quilt, and covered Siyu with it without hesitation.

When Siyu saw the prince approaching, she felt a little secretly happy.

She thought, men are always affectionate when they meet, so even if they don't do anything tonight, it would be good to be able to talk to the prince.

But she never expected that the prince was so unromantic and directly covered her with a quilt, which caught Siyu off guard.

Siyu was unwilling to let such a good opportunity go to waste, so she took the prince's hand and placed it on her huge breasts.

However, the prince stood there like a stone pillar, without any reaction at all.

In the cold winter, even in this warm room, it is still a little chilly at night.

At this moment, what is colder than the weather is Siyu's disappointed heart.

She watched the prince absent-mindedly, and her heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, freezing cold.

"Your Highness, am I not pretty enough?" Siyu said, looking at the prince with a face full of resentment. She had this child with the prince because she had used drugs!

His heart has always been so far away from me!

"Your Highness, are you so repulsive? You're like a stone, and I can't warm you no matter how hard I try!"

Siyu cried!

However, the prince remained indifferent and only replied calmly:

"Be good, Siyu. It's so cold, and you can't take medicine if you catch a cold!

Besides, the pregnancy is getting worse, what if the baby gets hurt?

Seeing this, Siyu bit her lip, holding back her tears, then silently put on her clothes, completely ignoring the cold night and heavy dew, and walked out with her big belly.

The prince looked at Siyu's departing figure, and his heart could not help but move. He knew Siyu was angry, and the weather was cold, and she was pregnant, so it would be easy for her to catch a cold if she went out like this.

After hesitating for a while, the prince finally sighed and thought:

"Never mind, just coax her and spend the night here."

The prince watched Siyu fall into a deep sleep, with a look of contentment and peace on her peaceful face, but he himself could not fall asleep!

He slowly closed his eyes, but the face of the eldest wife involuntarily appeared in his mind.

It was a face he was very familiar with, yet...

They used to be a married couple. But why did things become like this?

Daiyu got up early, came to pay her respects, and discussed with the prince about the gifts to be sent to the various royal palaces during the New Year.

When Daiyu walked into the room and saw that the prince's eyes were dark and blue and he looked listless, her heart ached.

Daiyu walked silently to the prince and asked him softly:

"My lord, are you okay?"

The prince raised his head and smiled faintly.

Soon, breakfast was served on the table. It consisted of eight-treasure sweet porridge, pearl dumplings, crispy flower rolls, and a few exquisite side dishes.

Daiyu even specially asked the kitchen to braise five-spice chicken legs because Siyu was pregnant and Daiyu was afraid that all the food would be sweet and she would not be used to it.

However, the atmosphere around the dinner table was extremely depressing.

Siyu seemed to be preoccupied as well, eating silently with her head down, not saying a word. The prince did the same, mechanically putting food into his mouth, completely devoid of his usual interest.

Only Daiyu forced herself to cheer up, thinking that after breakfast, she would accompany the prince to various places to deliver holiday gifts.

Daiyu looked at Siyu, who was absentmindedly stirring the bowl with a spoon, scooping up a few mouthfuls of porridge, and then sitting there motionless as if under a spell.

An incense stick of time passed, but the porridge in Siyu's bowl did not decrease at all.

Seeing this, Daiyu picked up two more chicken legs and gently placed them in the bowl in front of Siyu, and gently advised her:

"Sister, this chicken drumstick tastes good. For the sake of the child, you should eat some."

However, Siyu only ate two bites reluctantly, then put down her chopsticks, claiming that she was not feeling well, and left.

Seeing this, Daiyu's doubts deepened. She looked at Siyu's departing back and turned to look at the prince:

"Your Highness, is Concubine Jin okay?"

Daiyu called out several times before the prince came back to his senses as if waking from a dream.

He looked at Daiyu blankly, as if he had not heard what Daiyu had just said. Seeing this, Daiyu shook her head helplessly, wondering what was going on today.

Seeing that the prince was so absent-minded, Daiyu didn't want to ask any more questions. She scooped up a small bowl of pearl dumplings and placed it in front of the prince.

"Your Majesty, would you please try these pearl dumplings? Are they delicious?"

The prince finally woke up from his dream and smiled awkwardly:

"Oh, Yu'er, you eat too."

Seeing that the prince had finally come to his senses, Daiyu took the opportunity to ask again:

"Your Highness, is there a fixed number of gifts given to Duke Tong's Mansion in previous years?"

However, what surprised Daiyu was that her questions fell on deaf ears and the prince had no reaction at all.

Daiyu could not help asking several more times, and the prince finally woke up from his dream and answered slowly as if he was sleepwalking:

"Oh, well..."

Daiyu felt more and more puzzled when she saw the prince's absent-minded look.

She couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with the prince today? Why was he so absent-minded, as if his soul had been sucked out?

At this moment, Xiao Luzi came running over, knelt on the ground with a big smile on his face, and shouted loudly:

"Fujin, in my humble opinion, the gift we bring to Duke Tong's residence should be less than what we bring to the palace!"

When the prince heard the words "Duke Tong", he suddenly realized what was going on. He quickly turned to look at Daiyu and said apologetically:

"Oh, I'm so stupid that I forgot about this!

Yu'er, don't worry too much!"

Daiyu wanted to say, it would be fine if she didn’t get enough rest, but she must not be seduced by some vixen!

However, she still had a smile on her face and said softly:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. How could I blame you?

Duke Tong is the eldest wife's family, and they are veterans who have experienced two dynasties, so it is only natural that they prepare more festival gifts."

After saying this, Daiyu turned to Xiao Luzi and instructed:

"Go tell Cailian to dress up the Hongxuan brothers today. Make sure they look handsome and clean so they can accompany the prince to the Duke of Tong's mansion."

The prince then gave a thumbs-up and said with a smile, "Yu'er, you are truly my steward!"

It was unknown how long the carriage had been traveling. When Cai Lian lifted the curtain and saw the familiar "Duke Tong's Mansion", tears filled her eyes!

If only the master were here!

The carriage had just stopped, and before Cai Lian could come to her senses, suddenly, several servants from the Tong mansion came over, reached out and carried the two children down steadily.

The two little brothers were as happy as birds that were set free!

All I heard was the prince shouting from behind: "Slow down, slow down...don't fall..."

Unexpectedly, the prince was only concerned with making sure the two of them didn't fall, and bumped into Master Tong who was coming over.

Master Tong's face was filled with anger, and he shouted at the prince:

"Humph, I thought your father-in-law, the prince, was only Mr. Lin, the salt tax collector!

What is our Tong Mansion? "
