Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Old Master Wei slowly drank a sip of tea and said, "Oh, Old Man Song, I've met you before, but I'm not too familiar with you."

How is it possible... How could such an unfamiliar word have such a familiar tone?

"Grandpa, who is this Old Master Song?" Wei Bingyan asked. She always felt that this old master was not an ordinary person. Among the people she knew, she had never seen this person, let alone tell his identity clearly.

"He didn't tell you?" Old Master Wei raised his eyebrows. "Oh, he loves to be mysterious. He didn't want to stay in the capital, but had to rush to a remote place to plow the fields. It's only natural that he fell ill as soon as he arrived in the capital."

Does the master have any hatred with this old master Song? Wei Bingyan thought helplessly, "Master, did old master Song offend you before?"

Old Master Wei snorted, "Are you going to Yuzi Lane to see him tomorrow?"

Wei Bingyan nodded, "Grandpa, what do you want me to do?"

"What can I tell you? Didn't you go there to change your face?" Old Master Wei said, "Playing chess, playing chess, it's been many years, and there's still no obvious improvement. How did you learn it?"

"I'm giving in to you because I respect and love the elderly!" Wei Bingyan said with her lips pouted.

Old Master Wei laughed disdainfully.

After Wei Bingyan accompanied Old Master Wei to play chess, she persuaded him to go back to his room to rest. After that, she asked Luzhi and the maids from Yinyuan to move all the wine to Wanyuan without any trouble. Even the good wine that the old master hid under his bed was taken away by Wei Bingyan.

The old man looked heartbroken as he watched from the side, and cursed Wei Bingyan for being disrespectful to him.

Wei Bingyan was indifferent to the old man's childish behavior. She knew this old man and never took his muttering to heart.

"Lvzhi, you must keep a close eye on him from now on and never let the old man drink." Wei Bingyan sincerely instructed Lvzhi as they quickly left Yin Garden.

"Miss, I will remember this clearly. I will never let the old master drink, and I will not secretly send wine to the old master." Luzhi replied with a smile.

After returning to Wanyuan, Wei Bingyan wrote a prescription according to Old Master Wei's condition. She had not yet fully learned how to make pills, so she could only send them to Guan's pharmacy to find an experienced doctor to help her.

Anyway, I was going to Yuzi Lane the next day, so I might as well stop by Guan’s Pharmacy.

Aunt Yin heard Wei Bingyan talk about Old Master Wei's hyperactivity and said, "In the past, the old master of the Guan family also had this disease. He drank too much and fainted when he was excited. Fortunately, my aunt was there at that time, otherwise he really could not be saved. However, after Old Master Guan woke up, half of his body could not move."

Wei Bingyan knew that if this disease was not treated with care, it could really take a person’s life at any time.

"I've asked the old man to stop drinking. Let's go to Guan's pharmacy tomorrow and ask the doctor to make this into pills. The old man doesn't like taking medicine very much." Wei Bingyan said.

……

The next day, the sky was blue, the clouds were rolling, and the gentle breeze was blowing. Wei Bingyan and Aunt Yin changed their faces and went out, heading towards Yuzi Lane. I thought about it last night and I thought that this Old Master Song was probably not an ordinary person. Judging from the tone of the old master, the two of them should be very familiar with each other. They must have been colleagues working together in the past. I don't know what kind of official he is.

Yuzi Alley is not close to the Wei family residence, and it also passes through the most prosperous and bustling road in the capital. The speed of the carriage was slowed down a lot. At this time, Wei Bingyan, who was a doctor with medical skills and carefully dressed, looked at the hustle and bustle outside with a little longing.

If she was not the daughter of the Wei family, if she was just an ordinary commoner, would her life be simpler?

Wei Bingyan forced a smile that was uglier than crying. There are no ifs in life.

She reluctantly pulled her gaze back and slowly lowered the curtain. Suddenly, her eyes focused slightly and she pulled the curtain open again, looking straight at the exit of the alley in front of her, watching a familiar figure quickly pass by and disappear from her sight without a trace.

Isn’t that... Guan Hualang?

Wei Bingyan blinked her eyes. Did she accidentally see it wrong? Didn't they say Guan Hualang hadn't come to the capital yet?

"Aunt Yin, have you heard from others when the eldest senior brother will come to the capital?" Wei Bingyan put down the curtains, turned around and asked Aunt Yin.

"The owner of the manor has not recovered from his injuries yet, so Young Master Guan will not leave Guan Manor so soon." Aunt Yin replied.

What if Master Guan was not injured?

Or maybe he has fully recovered but he didn't say it?

Wei Bingyan was thinking deep in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. She just wondered, if that guy was really the eldest senior brother, what on earth was he doing in the capital?

Why didn’t anyone tell her... Li Yuyan also said last time that he hadn’t come back yet.

As I was thinking about it, I realized that the carriage had crossed half of the capital and arrived at Yuzi Lane.

The third spacious courtyard in Yuzi Lane... Wei Bingyan and Aunt Yin got out of the car at the entrance of the alley, and appeared at the gate of the comfortable residence that Old Master Song had mentioned that day. They craned their necks to look at the large horizontal plaque with black lacquer and gold characters. It simply said "Song Mansion", and they still didn't know the identity of this Old Master Song.

Aunt Yin approached and knocked on the door. After a while, the spacious front door swung open. The one who opened the door was a servant between thirteen and fourteen years old. When she saw that it was a female doctor, her face turned ugly. "Do you understand the rules? Doctors don't knock on the door. Do you know where this is?"

"What's so extraordinary about this?" Wei Bingyan asked intently from behind where Aunt Yin couldn't see.

"This is……"

Before I could scare the two blind female doctors, my voice was interrupted, "Hey, isn't this the little doctor who cured our old master that day?"

"Brother Xiaojin!" The servant girl quickly changed her face and revealed a flattering smile.

Wei Bingyan frowned slightly. If it weren't for the servant named Xiaojin interrupting her, she would have already known who Old Master Song was.

"Please come in, the old man is waiting for you." Xiao Jin said with a smile and asked Xiao Jin to open the door.

"Has Old Master Song still had stomach pain these days?" Wei Bingyan sighed in her heart, but still followed Xiao Jin in. When she reached the inner courtyard, she asked in detail about Old Master Xiao's recent situation.

"The old man's appetite is not as good as before, but he no longer complains of stomachache. However, the medicine you prescribed... the old man didn't take it well." Xiao Jin said, "The old man doesn't like to take medicine according to the doctor's orders."

No wonder I have no appetite! Wei Bingyan secretly said that he was almost the same as her old grandfather, one didn't like acupuncture, and the other didn't like taking medicine according to the doctor's orders.

While Wei Bingyan was talking to Xiao Jin, her eyes were also carefully examining the Song Mansion. This house was not small, but it was not as big as the Wei family's. Moreover, there was a sense of clean touch everywhere, and there were very few servants in the house. She always felt that something was missing.

"Doctor, please wait here. There are guests in the old man's room. I will go and inform them." Xiao Jin said.

"Thank you for your hard work, little brother!" Wei Bingyan said with a faint smile.

They were waiting in the tea room, and a maidservant poured them fragrant tea. The maidservant secretly glanced at Wei Bingyan's plain face, her soft eyebrows frowned, and she retreated with a look of disgust.

Wei Bingyan seemed unaware and continued sipping her tea.

In a flash, Xiao Jin came out and invited Wei Bingyan and Aunt Yin into the house.

The so-called guest is usually a respectful title given by the host to the guest, but Wei Bingyan didn't expect that the guest in Old Master Song's house was really very noble...

The Sixth Prince!

Isn't this young man who is sitting on the warm kang and playing chess with Old Master Xiao the Sixth Prince whom he had met in Prince Ping'an's Palace?

The moment Wei Bingyan quickly walked into the house, she felt a pair of oppressive gazes falling on her. She tilted her neck to look at him, her face froze slightly, but she quickly recovered.

The Sixth Prince was not a very handsome man. His face was a little rough, his body was tall and strong, and he had an aura that could not be ignored intentionally or unintentionally, especially his eyes... as mysterious as a deep spring.

Knowing that this man would be the emperor in the future and was the one who had issued an imperial decree to destroy the Wei family, Wei Bingyan felt a little out of breath. She could only try to ignore him intentionally or unintentionally, and saluted Old Master Song with a fist, "Old Master Song!"

"Young doctor, I didn't expect you to really come. The old man's waiting today was not in vain!" Old Master Song looked at Wei Bingyan with a smile. He saw the hesitation on the face of this young doctor when he talked about living in Yuzi Lane that day.

He asked this young doctor to come to his home to see him because he felt that this young doctor was very interesting and his sixth sense had always been very accurate.

"Old Master Song, is it convenient for me to take your pulse now?" Wei Bingyan asked intently, wanting to leave here quickly.

"Don't worry!" Old Master Xiao said with a smile, "I don't know your name, little doctor?"

"My surname is Wang." Wei Bingyan continued to reply with her head down.

The Sixth Prince closed his eyes slightly and looked at the unremarkable female doctor beside him. When he entered the door, he knew that this was the female doctor he met in Ronghua Village that day.

That day, he didn’t hear his voice so clearly, but today, he listened carefully and saw it clearly again.

The voice of this female doctor was so similar to that of a young lady at the banquet that day. Even though he tried to lower her voice, he could still understand that it was the same person!

But, that young lady seemed to be the legitimate daughter of the Wei family, so how could she become a female doctor?

“Doctor Wang, from the sound of your tone, you seem to be a local of the capital?” The Sixth Prince opened his mouth in a hoarse voice, his sharp eyes fixed on Wei Bingyan’s face.

"I'm originally from Jinyun, and I make a living by treating patients everywhere. Maybe I've been in the capital for a long time, so I learned some accents." Wei Bingyan replied in a gentle voice.

Old Master Song became interested and said in a northern accent, "Is that so? I also lived in Jinyun City for some time before this and learned some Jinyun dialect. Doctor Wang, have you ever been to the Thousand Layer Pagoda in Jinyun City?"

Wei Bingyan calmly replied in Jinyun's accent, "I have never heard of a thousand-layer pagoda in Jinyun City. Instead, there is a ten-thousand-layer pagoda."

"Sixth Prince, this boy is truly a Jinyun man." Old Master Song said to the Sixth Prince with a smile.

"Sixth Prince?" Wei Bingyan was greatly surprised and knelt down hurriedly. "I didn't know it was the Sixth Prince and offended His Highness. Please forgive me, Sixth Prince."

"Get up, you didn't say anything wrong." The Sixth Prince looked at her with a frown, unhappy with her sudden frightened expression.

“Yes…” Wei Bingyan still pretended to be terrified, but she was hesitant deep down in her heart. How many people in the capital could be comparable to the Sixth Prince?

Song...

She remembered that the Empress Dowager's surname was also Song. Could it be that... this was the one who abandoned the Earl even though she was willing to be a wandering wanderer?
