Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 442 The house leaks and it rains all night

The prince's face was already full of fatigue. He couldn't help yawning and begged the doctor:

"Doctor Xu, please add a few more herbs to this prescription.

This king believes in you!

No matter how valuable it is, I will have someone find it!"

The doctor glanced at the prince, then couldn't help looking at the missing prescription. He pointed to the cold moon outside and told the prince:

"Go to sleep and think about it tomorrow!"

The prince was still worried, so he went to check on Hongxuan again. The little guy still had a fever, but seemed to be sleeping soundly at this moment.

The prince turned around and went to the couch in the outer room. Perhaps he was too tired, and he fell asleep in a daze after lying down for a while.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

A familiar voice called out to him, but the prince paid no attention to it. He just thought that the maids in the mansion had something to ask him.

So he stood up casually and glanced casually in the direction of the sound.

However, when his eyes fell on the window, he saw that it was covered with a thin layer of mist.

It was as hazy as a veil, and in the mist, there seemed to be a vague figure!

The prince's heart tightened, and a thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that Yu'er was worried about Hongxuan and came to visit him specially?

The blurry figure suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a while. I'm sure you've forgotten Bijun!"

The prince was startled when he heard the voice. This voice... was clearly not Yu'er's!

He looked carefully and was surprised to find that the person standing by the window was the eldest wife who had been missing for many days!

The prince instantly recalled the scene in his mind when Xuan'er had a high fever and kept crying and shouting for her mother.

So, without thinking, he raised his foot and walked towards the direction of the first wife.

He wanted to take his first wife to visit Xuan'er, who was suffering from smallpox, immediately. All the past events were over, and he wanted to reunite her and her child!

However, just as the prince ran to the window, an incredible scene happened - the figure of the eldest wife suddenly dissipated in front of his eyes like water vapor and disappeared without a trace!

The prince was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He stood there blankly, looking at the empty window, at a loss for a moment.

"Bijun, Bijun, come back! Come and see our poor Xuan'er!"

The prince came to his senses and anxiously called out the name of the first wife, while beginning to look for her around the room.

However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find any trace of the First Lady.

Everything that just happened seemed like an illusory dream, and the appearance and disappearance of the eldest lady were like a thin layer of mist, making people confused.

Bijun, Bijun...I beg you..."

The prince shouted at the top of his lungs, which scared the girl who was on night watch. The girl hurriedly shook the prince hard to wake him up, but it turned out to be just a dream!

The prince couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Bijun disappeared and Hongxuan contracted smallpox. Even though there were many grievances between him and the first wife, the law of cause and effect was cyclical, and the child suddenly contracted a serious disease, and he was scared!

The prince thought: I still have to send someone to Duke Tong’s mansion!

See if there is any other way to find Bijun. At least we have to give her an explanation!

Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed towards the window, making a whistling sound, as if it was going to tear the window apart.

Raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky, and the girls ran to the window quickly and closed it tightly in a hurry.

Just then, a petite figure came over quietly.

Caidie walked up to the prince and said timidly:

"My Lord, it's going to rain outside.

Sister Cailian was worried that you might catch a cold, so she asked me to bring you a thin quilt."

The prince was immersed in his own thoughts. When Caidie's words interrupted him, he replied impatiently:

"understood."

The prince pulled over the brocade quilt, only to find that this quilt was made by the first wife when she was still alive. Knowing that the prince was prone to sweating, she had someone pluck silk from the silk and sew it with breathable brocade.

The pattern above is still the prince’s favorite, colorful butterflies chasing the moon.

Memories of the past suddenly flooded into his mind. It seemed that he had never disliked the First Lady and only wanted to find her as soon as possible.

……

In the suburbs of Beijing, in front of that simple thatched house.

At this time, the night was deep and quiet, the wind was howling, and the rain was pouring down.

A young girl holding a tattered oil-paper umbrella stood in front of the thatched hut, looking at the sixty-year-old man on the roof with a worried look on her face.

The old man was climbing up to the roof with difficulty, trying to repair the leak.

However, the rain was so heavy that he couldn't open his eyes.

Mrs. Wang was holding a kerosene lamp below, but it couldn't provide any light.

The girl was very worried. She shouted anxiously:

"Dad, it's late at night, let's just make do with it for one night!

I'm fine!"

The rain seems to be getting heavier!

The violent storm seemed to have no intention of sparing the fragile thatched house.

They attacked the roof and walls like ferocious beasts, as if they wanted to devour the hut.

The storm was raging outside, and the house was also being attacked by rain, with raindrops dripping continuously through the cracks in the roof.

The house was leaking very badly. In the past, Old Man Wang and his wife might have just put up with it and gotten through the night.

But the situation is different now. My daughter has just recovered. If she gets caught in the rain and then catches a cold, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Auntie, is auntie home?"

Suddenly there was a burst of urgent shouting outside the door!

Mrs. Wang thought, who would come here in the middle of the night and it was raining heavily?

"Auntie, please open the door for me, I'm Iron Hammer!"

The honest voice sounded again, but unlike before, Tiechui spoke more fluently this time.

Mrs. Wang thought something had happened at Fatty's house, so she quickly shielded herself from the rain with her clothes and ran to the door.

Tiechui wiped the rain off his face and said naively:

"Aunt, my mother knows your house is leaking, so she asked me to take you and my sister over to stay with us for one night!

I went up on the roof to do some repairs."

Although Mrs. Wang was annoyed that Fatty was looking for a husband for her daughter, it was raining heavily now, so wasn't this a timely help?

She knew that Tiechui was a kind-hearted boy, but she really couldn't bear to ask him to climb onto the roof to help in such bad weather.

So she smiled and said to Tiechui:

"Good boy, I understand your intentions. Go back quickly, your uncle will fix it in no time!"

But Tiechui didn't listen to Wang Po. He ran to the side of the house as fast as the wind and shouted to Old Man Wang on the roof:

"Uncle, please come down quickly!

I've got the rain cover, I'll just go up and cover it!"

Old man Wang had already been soaked by the rain. When he heard the sound of the hammer, his heart warmed.

He knew that it must be the fat lady's son who came to help.

At this moment, the rain suddenly became heavier, as if it was going to drown the whole world in a vast ocean.

The girl was caught off guard by the sudden downpour, and her tattered oil-paper umbrella seemed to be ineffective.

She couldn't help but shiver, her body began to shake, and she was about to fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Tiechui rushed over without hesitation and supported the girl.

However, his old problem came back at this moment, and he stammered to the girl:

"you you you……"

After the girl stood firm, she looked at the silly boy in front of her and felt both angry and amused.

She thought to herself, why is this person speaking so incoherently?

Before the girl could react, Tiechui quickly took off his straw raincoat and draped it over the girl's thin body.

The straw raincoat wrapped around the girl, as if it was a kind of care and protection.

The girl looked at the hammer in some astonishment, with a touch of emotion in her eyes.

Tiechui didn't pay attention to the girl's reaction. He turned around and shouted at Wang Po:

"Auntie, the rain is really heavy. Please take my sister to my house quickly. Be careful that she doesn't catch a cold!"

He was afraid that Wang Po and the girl would not go, so he continued:

"I'll go up and take a look at this house. You can go ahead without worry."

As soon as she finished speaking, before everyone could react, they heard a "thump" and the girl fainted!
