Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 463 Luo Yuxuan Proposes to Marry Cailian

Daiyu hadn't seen a man begging others for help for the woman he loved for a long time. She stared at Luo Yuxuan for a long time.

His earnest look made her think of the prince of the past.

The prince at that time was also like this. For her, he even begged the emperor to grant him a marriage.

However, times have changed. Although she is now the legitimate wife, her youthful vigor has long since disappeared.

Looking back, she and the prince had a beautiful time of deep love between them.

Luo Yuxuan knelt anxiously on the ground, looking at Daiyu eagerly, waiting for her reply:

"Fujin, are you sure or not?"

His voice was hoarse with anxiety.

Daiyu came back to her senses and cast her eyes on the painting of a flute playing on a snowy night by Luo Yuxuan on the wall.

Looking at the painting and then at how determined Luo Yuxuan was to marry Cailian, Daiyu suddenly had an idea and decided to tease him.

She smiled slightly, gently pulled her sleeves, and then said slowly:

"Cai Lian, she is the eldest maid in the mansion!"

Hearing this, Luo Yuxuan showed a hint of anticipation on his face and said quickly:

"I know, Fu Jin, that's why I beg you to help us!

Don't worry, I will never treat her unfairly!"

Daiyu raised the corner of her mouth slightly and continued:

"But, as you know, the eldest wife is not at home now. If Cailian leaves, what will happen to the two children?"

Daiyu paused, then blurted out:

"You have no achievements, and although I am just a girl, I have a well-proportioned appearance!

That Mr. Yang from outside the city even wants to marry her as his concubine!

It's a great place, and you don't have to suffer. You feel so noble the moment you walk in!"

Luo Yuxuan's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and the anger in his heart rose.

He stood up suddenly, his body trembling slightly with anger, his eyes wide open, staring at Daiyu, as if he wanted to see through her.

Luo Yuxuan cried out in pain:

"It's really unexpected that you are such a snob!"

Then, he raised his voice and continued to roar:

"No matter what noble official position he holds, Cai Lian will never be interested in it!"

However, when Daiyu heard this, she burst out laughing. The laughter was crisp and pleasant, which seemed a little abrupt in this tense atmosphere.

She looked at Luo Yuxuan, a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes, and she told him calmly:

"The golden hairpin is buried in the snow. Whatever is yours is yours."

After a while, she pointed to the heavy snow outside the door and continued:

"Well, I'll go ask the prince what he thinks.

After all, we need to find some reliable people to take care of those two children.

It will take some time for them to adjust.”

After hearing Daiyu's words, Luo Yuxuan still stood there in a daze, as if he had not yet recovered from his previous anger.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard Zijuan's voice.

Zijuan's voice was very soft, but it broke the silence in the room like a flash of lightning. She whispered to Luo Yuxuan:

"Sir, why don't you hurry up and thank me? Go back and clean up the house and wait for your new bride to come!"

Luo Yuxuan finally came to his senses, quickly knelt down, and kept thanking Daiyu.

Luo Yuxuan had just left when she heard Zijuan ask her:

"Miss, the prince said he's having a barbecue at Tingyuxuan. Shall we go there now?"

Daiyu had completely lost her previous momentum and said slowly:

"It's cold and it just snowed, let's do it another day!"

"The deer calls, eating wild apples..."

Daiyu and Zijuan unconsciously walked to the window of the eldest lady.

Suddenly, she heard a clear childish voice. Daiyu thought, this must be Hongxuan reciting his lessons.

She waved her hand, signaling the little maids in the room to go down first, and then she and Zijuan walked into the room slowly.

"The deer calls, eating wild apples..."

As soon as she entered the room, Daiyu saw Hongxuan with his eyes closed, holding the book high above his head and muttering to himself.

Looking at the way he was thinking hard, he probably couldn't figure out how to recite the next sentence.

Daiyu smiled slightly and said softly:

"The deer calls, eating wild apples. I have guests, playing the harp and the flute!"

When everyone heard Daiyu's voice, they woke up from their dream and realized that Fu Jin had arrived.

Cailian hurried over and said with a smile, "It's so late, Fu Jin, why are you here?"

Hongxuan touched her head a little embarrassedly, and after a long while, she stammered:

"Auntie, please don't tell my father, I was lazy! I'm so lazy!"

Daiyu smiled and said:

"How could that be? Auntie will definitely not tell your father. Go and have fun!"

Seeing the little fellow skipping away, Zijuan finally came to her senses. She quickly pulled Cailian over and said to her with a happy face:

"Miss Cailian, congratulations! What a great joy! Zijuan is here to congratulate you!"

Cai Lian was shocked when she heard this. She looked surprised and thought to herself:

"Congratulations? Where does the joy come from?"

She looked at Zijuan suspiciously, feeling a little confused by this sudden congratulation.

Seeing Cailian's confused look, Daiyu told her everything about Luo Yuxuan's desire to marry her.

As Daiyu spoke, she looked at the burning red candle on the table and the exquisite painting of a royal concubine getting married on the wall. Her heart was filled with emotion and she could not help but sigh:

"Cai Lian, this Young Master Luo is a scholar! If he can pass the imperial examination, he will definitely be very successful!

So, this is a really good marriage!"

What Daiyu never expected was that before she finished speaking, Cailian suddenly fell to her knees with a thump.

She cried with tears streaming down her face:

"Fujin, please take back your decision!

How could I, a servant, be so cruel as to abandon those two poor children and happily marry someone else when the eldest wife's whereabouts are unknown?

Daiyu was shocked and at a loss for words for a moment - didn't they have feelings for each other? Why was this happening?

She stared blankly at Cai Lian who was kneeling on the ground, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind quickly.

But I still can't understand why this girl is so resistant to this seemingly happy marriage?

After all, isn't it more pleasant to marry a scholar and become his principal wife than to be a maid in a mansion?

She had no choice but to persuade her: "Cai Lian, listen to me, we are all doing this for your own good..."

Unexpectedly, Cailian still insisted:

"Fujin, Cailian won't marry! If you insist on me marrying, you have to wait until the eldest Fujin comes back! I can't be so heartless!"

Seeing this, Zijuan quickly reached out and pulled her up from the ground. However, the girl was like being nailed down, refusing to get up, and kept mumbling:

"If Fu Jin hadn't refused, Cai Lian would rather kneel and die here!"

Seeing this, Daiyu was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke:

"Marriage is all about giving you a good home and someone you can rely on.

Since you insist so much, I won't force you.

How about this, I will send someone to tell Master Luo someday that you don’t want this marriage.”

After hearing Daiyu's words, Cailian slowly stood up, but her tears began to flow down.

Seeing how loyal and righteous she was, and how she was reluctant to leave her old master, Yi Zijuan felt pity for her. She quickly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped her tears.

Daiyu seemed to have a thousand words to say in her heart, but she didn't know where to start.

She just felt her throat tighten a little, and finally she smiled awkwardly, sat silently for a while, then stood up and left with Zijuan.

……

"Her aunt, I asked someone to see, and the eighth day of the second lunar month after the Chinese New Year is a good date for Tiechui and Lianhua to get married! Do you think it's okay?"

Fatty came to Aunt Wang's house in a hurry.

But unexpectedly, Old Man Wang was lying in bed due to a fall injury, and he didn’t get better after taking those medicines. The whole family was filled with worry!
