Chapter 378 Dream of Red Mansions - Lin Ruhai Concubine 10

Jia Min gave all her dowry to six-year-old Lin Daiyu, and asked Lin Ruhai to send Lin Daiyu to the Jia Mansion after her death.

At that time, the Jia family was at its peak. Jia Min married into the Lin family with a grand wedding dress. All of Jia Min's money was given to Lin Daiyu, which was enough for Lin Daiyu to live on for several years.

Less than half a year after Liu Ruyan returned to the Lin Mansion, news came that Jia Min had passed away.

After Jia Min's death, the Lin family fell into ruin, and all the concubines in Lin Ruhai's manor returned to the Lin family.

Liu Ruyan is now Lin Ruhai's concubine, and Lin Ruhai's only legal wife, and has to take care of the funeral for Lin Ruhai's deceased wife.

The one who cried the most sadly in front of the mourning hall was Lin Daiyu. She cried so hard that she was out of breath. The nanny next to her wiped her tears with heartache. Lin Daiyu was already weak, and she was out of breath from crying so hard that she fainted.

Liu Ruyan quickly ordered the maid to send the man back to the room and asked someone to invite a doctor over.

As soon as Jia Min's funeral was over, Lin Ruhai sent people to send all his concubines back to the farm.

Jia Min's family in Beijing has sent a boat to pick up Lin Daiyu.

When Liu Ruyan found out about this, Lin Ruhai had already allocated some money from the mansion and sent Lin Daiyu to the ship sent by the Jia family.

People have always sympathized with the weak, and now everyone began to sympathize with this poor little Lin Daiyu. She lost her mother at a young age. Lin Daiyu, who was only six years old, was driven away by her stepmother and had to live with her grandparents.

When Lin Liu was sent to the manor, she was also branded as restless. After Lin Liu returned to the Lin family, Lin Jia died in less than half a year. The rumors became more and more outrageous, and now everyone is saying that Lin Jia's death was related to Lin Liu.

To outsiders, the behavior of the father and daughter seemed to indicate that it was because their stepmother, Liu Ruyan, was difficult to get along with, was sarcastic and mean, and could not tolerate her stepdaughter, which was why her maternal family took Lin Daiyu away as soon as her stepdaughter's mother died.

Lin Daiyu took half of the Lin family's wealth to the Jia family, but never mentioned a word. The wealth that Lin Daiyu took away from the Lin family was no less than Jia Min's dowry. It was not only cash, but also shops, farms, land... and so on.

Once the stepmother's bad reputation for being sarcastic and mean spreads, it will be very detrimental to Liu Ruyan's four sons' future in taking the imperial examinations, pursuing a career in officialdom, and getting married and having children.

Liu Ruyan didn't want to bear a bad reputation, she had already thought of a way to deal with it.

She asked people to spread the news about Lin Daiyu's mother's illness and instructions, and that Lin Daiyu took half of the Lin family's property to the Jia family. Of course, she also did not forget to let the connections she had developed in recent years in the capital spread the same news.

Everyone then understood that the child was not driven away by his stepmother, and the Jia family did not raise the child for nothing, but was entrusted to the care of Lin Jia before her death.

Ever since Lin Daiyu went to the Jia family, Lin Ruhai has been thinking about her and often sent her handwritten letters.

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these years, Liu Ruyan has never slept in the same bed with Lin Ruhai. They have always slept in separate beds. In order to cover up his inability, Lin Ruhai sent all his concubines back to the farm after Jia Min's funeral.

However, in recent years, Lin Ruhai missed his deceased wife too much and neglected his health. He did not pay attention to maintaining his health. A few years ago, he suffered from a long-term cough and had become dependent on medicine.

The four sons were all taken care of by Liu Ruyan alone. Lin Ruhai did not contribute at all and showed little concern for them.

This year, Lin Daiyu is twelve years old, Lin Moqing is eleven years old, Lin Mochen, Lin Moxuan, and Lin Mohan are already ten years old. Years ago, the four children took part in the county examination held once every three years, and all four children passed. The Lin family suddenly had four students.

Lin Ruhai was very happy that his four children had made great progress. However, he was so excited about this happiness that his already poor health suddenly worsened and he became critically ill.

Liu Ruyan knew that Lin Ruhai would die this year, so she immediately wrote a letter to inform Lin Daiyu and Lin Hongyu at the farm.

Lin Hongyu rushed back from the farm first. When Liu Ruyan saw Lin Hongyu's face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. This child has grown up so well. She looks exactly like her biological father. If Lin Ruhai saw her, he would be so excited that he would faint.
