Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Guan Hualang stood upright behind Wei Bingyan, watching the princess disappear without a trace at the entrance of the dining hall. He then said to Wei Bingyan with a smile, "This princess is so arrogant and unreasonable. She hit me with a wooden stick before I even asked clearly."

Wei Bingyan glanced at the wooden stick that Mingyue had thrown into the corner, and glared at Guan Hualang, "She didn't ask clearly, so can't you explain it clearly? You have to fight with the princess. Fortunately, Mingyue is not the kind of willful and unreasonable person, otherwise you will not have a good day today."

"She wasn't being willful and unreasonable?" Guan Hualang pointed at the obvious bruises on his arm. "I got beaten up pretty badly."

Thinking of Guan Hualang's behavior just now, Wei Bingyan didn't pity him at all, "You look so despicable and rascally, not to mention Mingyue, anyone who sees you would want to beat you up."

"Junior sister, I'm not like that normally. I was forced." Guan Hualang cried out in frustration and pain.

Wei Bingyan looked at him with amusement, "Master is coming to the capital, why didn't you tell me?"

Guan Hualang said, "I was going to tell you originally, but my aunt said that she would give you a surprise."

"Did Lord Li come with him?" Wei Bingyan asked. It turned out that her master had come to the capital to accompany Lord Li.

"My uncle received an imperial edict and went to Luosha River." Guan Hualang said, covering his tender belly, "Junior sister, I'm starving. Let's go over and eat quickly."

"Master Li is also going to Luoshajiang?" Wei Bingyan closed her eyes slightly and looked directly into Guan Hualang's eyes with a playful look, "Big Brother, are you hiding something from me?"

Guan Hualang shook his head hurriedly, "What am I hiding from you? No, definitely not!"

Wei Bingyan laughed, "Where is Li Yuyan?"

"Isn't it in Luoshajiang?" Guan Hualang asked in return.

"Is that so?" Wei Bingyan smiled gently. She had been wondering why Li Yuyan had just entered the Imperial College, but was transferred to Luoshajiang, and went with the prince. And now Lord Li was sent there again. It was strange no matter how she thought about it. Unless Li Yuyan was not in Luoshajiang at all, there was no need for Lord Li to go there with him.

But it was His Majesty's intention for Lord Li to go to Luosha River.

Your Majesty knows that Li Yuyan in Luoshajiang is not the real Li Yuyan!

Wei Bingyan did not continue to interrogate Guan Hualang step by step, as it would be futile to ask further.

They returned to the dining hall. In order to avoid meeting Mingyue again, Guan Hualang did not appear at the same time as Wei Bingyan. Instead, he secretly entered from another door, accurately found Li Yunze, and sat with Li Yunze.

Mingyue had good eyesight and noticed Guan Hualang. She curled her lips and turned her head away with disdain.

Wei Bingyan walked over to Mingyue and sat down, then whispered in her ear, "My senior brother is not like this normally, don't take it to heart."

"I won't bother with him!" Mingyue snorted.

……

After the brief meeting with Mrs. Li in the Huguo Temple, Wei Bingyan did not deliberately communicate with her. Even when Xiao Shi found out that Mrs. Li was in the capital, she suppressed her excitement and did not immediately go to talk to her.

They all know deep down that sometimes keeping a proper distance is good for everyone!

Moreover, the fact that Wei Bingyan was Madam Li's disciple could no longer be concealed. Wei Zhong was supporting the Crown Prince, and Li Yuyan's attitude was vague and uncertain. Who could know what would happen next?

After returning, Xiao called Wei Bingyan over and asked her about Mrs. Li in detail.

Before going to Huguo Temple, Wei Bingyan didn't know that Mrs. Li was already in the capital. Xiao didn't have the patience to ask too many questions. She just stroked Wei Bingyan's temples and whispered that sometimes there was no need to worry so much when doing things for others. Thinking too much would actually lose more.

He was probably worried that Wei Bingyan would become estranged from her master, or do something involuntarily, because of Wei Zhong's issue.

It was dark. Wei Bingyan lay on her back on the bed, recalling what Xiao had said. Only then did she realize that she had been too cautious in every step she took because of her worries about her past life. So what if Wei Zhong was now supporting the prince?

Is Li Yuyan really helping the Fourth Prince, or is she just loyal to His Majesty? What does this have to do with a little girl like her?

No matter how vigilant and cautious she is, what can the final result change?

In her previous life... she had already been extremely exhausted, and this time she didn't need to work so hard again.

After thinking this problem through thoroughly, Wei Bingyan's realm became much clearer at a glance, and she was finally able to rest assured.

The next day, Wei Bingyan asked someone to take the jade for Shen Rouruo out of the water. The essence she mixed had a kind of herb added, so the pleasant fragrance could continue to penetrate into the jade. But she suddenly thought of a problem.

No matter what method is needed, Shen Rouruo will accept this carefully prepared gift and see it every day.

“Aunt Yin, go ask Steward Wei if the old man has prepared any congratulatory gifts for the Fourth Prince. If so, ask him what he has prepared,” Wei Bingyan instructed.

Aunt Yin went to inquire without saying anything.

Wei Bingyan asked Bai Binghui to place the jade on a furnace that had been heated to a certain degree and roast it until all the water marks on the jade were completely dried up bit by bit, and then put it into a copper basin and continue to immerse it.

When Aunt Yin came back, Wei Bingyan asked Bai Binghui to prepare warm water. She wanted to wash away the pleasant fragrance on her body.

Musk is extremely powerful and you must not get any on your body as it is bad for your mother's health. Wei Bingyan should be aware of this.

Although Wei Zhong wholeheartedly supports the Crown Prince, it does not mean that he will not interact with the Fourth Prince. Even though the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince once competed for the same woman, they are still brothers in the end. If he behaves too narrow-minded, others will think he has no grace.

When the Fourth Prince married his concubine, Wei Zhong naturally asked Steward Wei to prepare the congratulatory ceremony.

"What did you give?" Wei Bingyan asked.

"A ancestral green pottery underglaze jade vase." Aunt Yin said, and placed a rectangular red wax box on the table.

Wei Bingyan suddenly laughed, her eyes full of mockery. Was this fate or evil? This jade vase was carefully collected by Wei Zhong. After Shen Rouruo became her stepmother, Wei Zhong gave it to her sincerely. Shen Rouruo liked this jade vase...

Unexpectedly, in this life, this jade vase would still be delivered to her.

"How did you talk to Steward Wei? He even asked you to take it back?" Wei Bingyan asked Aunt Yin with a smile.

Aunt Yin said, "It's just that the young lady wants to be examined in person to make her feel relieved. Steward Wei knows that you and Shen Rou are in love like sisters, so naturally he won't say anything extra."

Wei Bingyan smiled lightly and took it out, "Send it back tomorrow!"

She placed the jade jar directly into the copper basin and said, "Bai Binghui, you will dry and immerse this jade jar repeatedly today."

Bai Binghui responded softly.

“Aunt Yin, send the jade to Steward Wei tomorrow and say it’s a double blessing. Send the jade ring and jade jar to the Fourth Prince together, and make sure to write the old man’s name on the name.” Wei Bingyan said softly.

"Yes, Miss." Aunt Yin smiled faintly and nodded.

Since the jade was to be sent to the Fourth Prince as a gift for congratulations, she naturally had to choose another thing to give to Shen Rouruo as a gift to add to the box.

"Miss, you worked so hard to make this jade emit a pleasant fragrance. If you send it to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, won't those things reach Shen Rouruo's hands?" Bai Binghui asked.

Wei Bingyan was confident about this. The Fourth Prince's wife was no match for Shen Rouruo and would be dominated by Shen Rouruo sooner or later. As for those things... as long as they were sent by Wei Zhong, they would definitely fall into Shen Rouruo's hands.

"I bet she will definitely get these." Wei Bingyan smiled at Bai Binghui.

……

After lunch, someone came from Mrs. Li's place to report to Wei Bingyan that Mrs. Li had gone to such great lengths to move to the comfortable residence over there in the morning, and asked Wei Bingyan to go over there.

Wei Bingyan said something to Mrs. Xiao and went out with Aunt Yin.

Since they just moved in early in the morning, but fortunately Mrs. Li has always lived a simple life, she did not let the servants be busy. She just bowed respectfully and tidied up a little, changed the new quilt that had been prepared long ago, and everything was fine.

"I originally wanted to ask you to come the next day, but there is something I am really worried about, so I came to ask you in such a hurry." Mrs. Li took Wei Bingyan's hand and went into the inner room, leaving the maids outside.

Wei Bingyan saw the anxiety on Mrs. Li's face that was hard to conceal, and she was also worried, "Master, what happened?"

"What on earth are your two senior brothers doing? Yuyan came back early in the morning. I saw that he looked pale and smelled of blood. I asked him if he was injured, but he refused to tell the truth. He said clearly that he was not. Your eldest senior brother is still supporting him. He just won the top spot in the imperial examination, right? He didn't commit any crime in the capital, did he?" Mrs. Li asked with a frown.

She didn't interfere much in the affairs of her husband and son, but that didn't mean she could watch her son get injured without saying a word.

As expected, Li Yuyan did not go to Luoshajiang! Wei Bingyan snorted inwardly, and then immediately thought of the injury on his chest. She was really worried that he would ignore it as a minor injury.

"Third Brother is very sensible in what he does, Master, don't worry." Wei Bingyan knew that Li Yuyan didn't tell Madam Li about his injuries because he didn't want her to worry. She really didn't want the Master to worry about his son just after arriving in the capital.

"You want to scare me too? He's my own son, how could I not know him?" Mrs. Li glared at Wei Bingyan, "I understand that he doesn't want me to worry, but if he's really injured, he has to be treated, right?"

Wei Bingyan laughed unnaturally, "Master, then...what do you mean?"

"If he doesn't let me know, then I don't know." Mrs. Li said, "Go and treat him, and take a look at the severity of his injuries."

"Me?" Wei Bingyan coughed and said awkwardly, "Master, Third Senior Brother may not be willing to let me treat him with great care."

Mrs. Li said, "I know you are worried about the difference between men and women. Don't forget that as a doctor, you must not have such worries or concerns. Otherwise, how can you treat patients?"

Wei Bingyan managed a forced smile that was uglier than crying, "Got it, Master. Where is the third senior brother now? I'll go check it out."

"Don't say that I asked you to go. Just make up an excuse and then test it patiently and calmly." Mrs. Li said with a smile, a hint of cunning flashed across her eyes.

Wei Bingyan agreed, then took the multi-purpose first aid kit handed to her by Mrs. Li and let the maid lead her to find Li Yuyan.

Originally according to Guan Hualang's words, Li Yuyan was not planning to live with Mrs. Li in this comfortable home in order to avoid trouble. But now... probably in order to avoid being seen, he has to move in secretly.

If I am not wrong, come here to treat your illness!

Guan Hualang was not there, and Li Yuyan was the only one in the room.

Seeing Wei Bingyan holding a multi-purpose first aid kit, Li Yuyan's dark eyes gently smiled and said in a gentle and charming voice, "Junior sister, do you want to force me to take off my clothes again?"
