Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 38 The Prince Arrives in Suzhou

"Miss Yun, we have something to say but we don't know whether we should say it or not?" Zijuan asked cautiously.

"We are sisters who grew up together. Sister Lin and I have always had a good relationship. There is nothing we can't talk about."

As Shi Xiangyun spoke, she wiped the rice residue from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, a smile on her face.

“Xueyan and I have always thought about going to see Miss Lin if we have the chance, but we haven’t heard from her for so long, it’s really worrying.

But... we are worried about you, Miss Yun!

So, I want to ask, Miss Yun, what are your plans for your own marriage?" Zijuan thought for a moment and finally mustered up the courage to speak out her thoughts.

Shi Xiangyun raised her head slightly, looking at the setting sun in the sky, her expression somewhat helpless: "Alas, I don't know how to choose.

Mr. Yu does have the ability to help me get rid of my identity as a courtesan, but in my heart I still prefer to be with Young Master Jiang.

When can I live my life to the fullest, and when can I escape?"

Zijuan and Xueyan stopped talking. Everyone ate their food in silence, each with their own thoughts.

After the two returned to their room, Xueyan started crying for no apparent reason.

"Sister Zijuan, I really want to know about the girl. I was sold to the Lin Mansion when I was young. The girl treated me like her own sister. Later, I followed her to the Jia Mansion, and I never suffered any hardship." Now I miss the girl.

"My dear sister, I am worried about you too. Let's wait for a while until Xiangyun's matter is settled. After all, we know each other.

If Xiangyun doesn't make a decision, we'll leave and look for the girl."

Zijuan gently wiped away Xueyan's tears, but she missed Daiyu as much as Xueyan did.

The prince sat in the carriage calmly, imagining the scene of meeting Daiyu again. A smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Luzi sat in the front of the carriage, chatting with the coachman while driving.

Just then, a passerby who fainted on the side of the road caught Xiao Luzi's attention.

"Stop!" Xiao Luzi quickly called out to the coachman and jumped off the carriage.

He came to the side of the person who had fainted and found that it was a girl. Xiao Luzi quickly helped her up and then carefully moved her to the side of the road to avoid being hit by passing vehicles.

"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you? Wake up!" Xiao Luzi shouted anxiously, gently shaking the girl's shoulders.

Just as Xiao Luzi was about to conduct further inspection, he suddenly recognized the person in front of him - isn't this Miss Lin's maid Xiaowan?

Realizing that things might not be good, Xiao Luzi hurriedly turned back to the carriage and informed the prince in the carriage of the situation.

When the prince heard this, he immediately got off the carriage. Together, they helped Xiaowan up and carefully carried her into the carriage.

After entering the carriage, the prince carefully observed Xiaowan. She was dressed in a disheveled state, with some dust and blood on her clothes, and her face was extremely pale.

An ominous premonition came to his mind, and the prince couldn't help but feel worried.

"Xiaowan, Xiaowan, what's wrong with you? Why are you here?" After the prince said this, he fed her some water, and Xiaowan gradually woke up.

She cried and told the prince: "Since you left, Granny Cai's son returned with his wife and children, but for some reason, a group of debt collectors came.

Then, by accident, Grandma Cai's son died. They insisted that it was the girl who did it, and the girl had already been thrown into jail.

Granny Cai asked me to come to the capital to look for the prince, but I am a young girl and unfamiliar with the place. I am not in good health and have been sick several times. Today, I went out to inquire about the prince's condition and fainted again.

The prince suddenly felt like the sky was falling. He could imagine Daiyu's helplessness and her despair in the prison.

The prince asked Xiao Luzi to give her some food, and then told the coachman to hurry on.

At this moment, he wanted to get to Daiyu as soon as possible.

They finally arrived at the prefectural government office. The prince ordered the car to stop and then hurriedly jumped out.

Xiao Luzi followed behind and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, we have come such a long way, we should find a place to make a long-term plan.

You can't just go to the prefect and ask for someone, you have to ask for the details of the situation."

The prince thought for a moment and told Xiao Luzi to buy some local specialties. Xiao Wan and the coachman stayed in the hotel, while he and Xiao Luzi went to the government office.

The two of them soon arrived at the government office. The prefect was a local official and did not recognize the prince.

The prince had no choice but to reveal his identity and give him his pass and the Thirteenth Master's jade token. The prefect was stunned.

"You, you are Prince Rong. I wonder what brings you here?" The prefect said tremblingly.

"Sir, can we go to another place to talk?" The prince said with a smile.

"I would like to hear the details and be willing to serve you at your whim." The prefect narrowed his eyes and looked fawning.

After saying that, he asked Xiao Luzi to put the gifts in the back hall and took the prefect out.

Then the two of them came to a restaurant.

The prince smiled and said, "This is the first time I've met you, sir. We hit it off really well. I'd like to invite you to have a simple meal. I hope you won't mind."

After saying that, Xiao Luzi went to order the restaurant to prepare food, leaving the prince and the prefect in the house.

The prefect would never have dreamed that he would have such a relationship with the prince and that he would even be invited to dinner. He couldn't help but imagine that one day he would be able to rise to a high position.

As he was thinking, he stood up and toasted the prince.

The prince smiled and nodded, then drank a glass of wine with the prefect. He said, "I have one more thing to trouble you with, Your Excellency. I wonder if you could do me a favor."

The prefect said, "I understand. Your Majesty, please explain."

"Your prefectural jail has a prisoner, and I want to go see her."

"Oh, that's easy. Your Highness, whoever you want to see, I will bring him out for you individually. The prison is an unlucky place. You don't have to go in." The prefect said with a smile on his face.

At this time, Xiao Luzi asked the store owner to bring the dishes.

The prince smiled and said, "I don't know your taste, my lord. I ordered this based on the dishes in the capital."

"I'm used to it. It's a great honor for me to have a meal with His Majesty. It's really an honor for my humble home." The prefect said hurriedly.

After dinner, the prince put a few more banknotes into the prefect's sleeve.

The prefect refused it, but put the banknote in his pocket.

Then the prefect brought the prince carefully to a house.

This place is very secluded, with no people around, only some trees and grass.

The prefect told the prince that there was no one here and no one would discover him, and he would arrange for the girl to meet him here later.

The prince told the prefect, "I have a close relationship with that girl, regardless of age difference. I don't just want to meet her, but I want to see if there is any possibility of overturning her case. I want to rescue her."

The prefect whispered in the prince's ear that he would meet with the girl first and he would find a way to deal with the case.
