Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 155: Picking Lotus into the Tiger's Mouth

"Madam, the doctor is back."

Xiao Lingzi walked in respectfully and reported to the eldest lady.

The eldest wife smiled and said softly, "Please ask the doctor to come in."

The doctor came in hurriedly and bowed to the first lady to greet her.

Seeing this, the eldest wife nodded slightly, then asked slowly, "Doctor, I'd like to ask, how is the health of the young man's father? He shouldn't be seriously injured, right?"

The doctor looked troubled, sighed helplessly, and replied in a heavy tone: "Replying to the eldest wife, the old man is now terminally ill. I'm afraid he only has a few days left..."

After saying this, the doctor shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

"What? His father is terminally ill?"

When the eldest wife heard this, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat and I felt uncomfortable.

After sending the doctor away, the eldest wife hurriedly sent Xiao Lingzi to deliver some silver.

She turned around and thought, it would be better to send Cai Lian over at this time.

They have feelings for each other, and it would be best if Cai Lian could go over and help at this time.

The eldest wife called Cailian in and told her, "Cailian, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the mansion these days.

That young man's father is seriously ill, you go and help take care of him!

Here is a bag of silver, take it with you."

Cai Lian looked at the first lady in confusion.

The eldest wife turned her head and said slowly: "Everyone has their downfalls, and this young man is also a man of great ambition. If one day you can get married, I wish you all the best!"

"Cai Lian, I'm already like this. You've been with me since you were a child. I don't want you to live a life like mine. Do you understand?"

After the eldest lady finished speaking, tears began to flow quietly.

Cai Lian nodded, not quite understanding. In her eyes, the eldest wife was so radiant, who knew she would be so resentful.

After Cai Lian left, the eldest wife sat alone in the rocking chair, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

How great it would be if she was not the daughter of Tong Jia. How great it would be if she could just find an ordinary man from an ordinary family!

But there is no if, she can only bite the bullet and move forward!

She wants power, fame, status, and the future domineering woman of the world.

She hopes Cai Lian is happy, but she also wants to use Cai Lian to win over the young man!

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes and look at me!"

Luo Yuxuan cried and shouted hysterically.

Tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped onto the bed sheets, but no matter how he called, his father still lay there quietly, without any response.

As Cai Lian walked into the yard, she heard Luo Yuxuan's heart-wrenching cry.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly quickened her pace and hurried towards the room.

When she pushed open the door, the scene before her made her heartbroken.

"Sir, what happened to the old man?"

Cai Lian asked anxiously, her voice full of concern and worry.

Luo Yuxuan was seen lying on the head of his father's bed, crying loudly, as if he had lost the whole world.

Cai Lian quickly stepped forward, gently patted Luo Yuxuan's shoulder, and tried to comfort him: "Sir, don't be too sad, the old man will be fine.

Let’s calm down and think of a solution.”

However, Luo Yuxuan seemed unable to hear her words and was still immersed in grief.

Cai Lian sighed helplessly, turned around and walked to the bedside to check on the old man's condition.

She found that the old man looked ashen, had weak breathing, and was unconscious. His condition looked very critical.

Cai Lian's heart sank suddenly. She knew that she had to calm Luo Yuxuan down.

Then she remembered the instructions of the first wife and the prescription left by the doctor, and she hurried out to get the medicine.

Cai Lian patted Luo Yuxuan's shoulder and whispered to comfort him: "Young Master, I'm going out to get medicine for the old man, don't be too sad!"

Luo Yuxuan then raised his head and looked at Cai Lian as if she were a life-saving straw.

He wiped away his tears and said softly, "Excuse me, Miss Cailian. Is your hand okay? I'm sorry to have made you so worried!"

Cai Lian suddenly felt a warmth rising in her heart.

She showed her hand to Luo Yuxuan, indicating that it was healed. She told him to stay at home and look after his father while she would go get the medicine and come back soon.

Then she hurriedly left the house, hoping to get the medicine back quickly to make medicine for the old man.

As soon as Cai Lian left, Luo's father opened his eyes.

He grabbed Luo Yuxuan's hand and said with difficulty: "My son, I'm leaving!"

He looked at Luo Yuxuan's tear-stained face and slowly raised his hand to wipe his tears.

But before he could raise his hand, his eyes stared straight ahead, he stopped breathing, and didn't move at all.

Luo Yuxuan hadn't reacted yet. He watched his father open his eyes and wanted to tell him about himself and Cai Lian.

But the old man passed away before he could finish his words.

He didn't believe it and began to feel the old man's breath and pulse, but it was all in vain.

The old man's eyes were open, but he was no longer breathing.

"Dad, Dad, don't leave. I will definitely pass the imperial examination. Wait for me!"

Luo Yuxuan burst into tears.

Cai Lian hurried to the pharmacy and quickly picked up the medicine, but suddenly she felt her heart beating wildly.

An ominous premonition came to her mind, making her want to return to Luo Yuxuan's home as soon as possible.

However, as the sky gradually darkened, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased, and the road to Luo Yuxuan's village had to pass through a deserted trail.

Cai Lian prayed silently in her heart: Everything will be fine, old man and young master, please wait for me to come back!

She stared at the gradually darkening sky and the deserted road, and her heart couldn't help but feel a chill.

But when she thought that her old man was still waiting at home to take his medicine and that the young master was also waiting for her, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

She had no choice but to quicken her pace and move forward. Thinking that she was about to meet the young master, she couldn't help feeling happy.

"Girl, where are you going?"

Suddenly a shout was heard around a corner.

The voice was low and rough.

Cai Lian turned around suddenly and saw a man rushing out from the woods, blocking her way.

At this time, Cai Lian was in a desolate wilderness. It was silent all around and there was no other people in sight.

She was startled and looked around subconsciously, but didn't see anyone else.

So she decided not to get entangled with the man and just walked forward.

However, the man didn't seem to intend to let her leave easily.

He walked quickly to Cai Lian, blocked her way, and looked her up and down.

Then, the man smiled and said loudly: "Girl, you are so beautiful!"

Cai Lian's heart tightened and a sense of fear surged in her heart.

She wanted to turn around and run away, but found herself blocked by the man.

"Girl, don't run away. Give me a smile."

There was a hint of frivolity in the man's voice.

After saying that, he began to make moves on Cai Lian, trying to touch her body.
