Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wei Bingyan returned to the Wei family before noon. As soon as she entered the auspicious gate, she realized that something seemed to be wrong. Even the grandmother who was patiently cleaning the courtyard was nowhere to be seen, not to mention the concubines and maids who always came and went in the small courtyard.

She raised her eyebrows, got on a nearby glazed jade carriage, and asked her mother-in-law who was driving to go directly to the main house.

The main house was actually quite lively. Several concubines who were rarely seen in the family were all in Xiao's room, but each of them had a cautious look on their face.

Xiao sat upright at the chief seat with a frozen expression. Her sharp eyes scanned everyone in the room and finally stopped on the face of Aunt Shen, who was kneeling upright on the ground.

Aunt Shen's shoulders trembled, and she buried her head even lower, crying softly.

Wei Bingyan got off the green pottery glaze carriage and quickly walked into the gate of the courtyard. She saw two big maids waiting quietly outside beside Xiao.

"Yan'er, Panchun, what happened at home?" she asked the two maids softly.

"Miss, you're back." Yan'er and Panchun bowed and saluted before softly replying to Wei Bingyan's words, "After lunch, Aunt Shen went to Qingxiu's place. Not long after she left, Qingxiu...had spotting. Madam called a doctor, who said she couldn't be saved."

Panchun added, "News has also come in from the dining hall that the man inside is dying. He vomited blood in the morning and is now clamoring to see the old man, and also wants to see the young master and the second young lady."

Aunt Lian is dying? Wei Bingyan was surprised by the news.

Such news was a bit sudden. She felt that Aunt Lian could still live for a few more years. After all, in her memory, such a woman should not die at this time.

"Is the madam in the room?" Wei Bingyan asked.

"Yes, the other concubines are inside." Yan'er replied.

Wei Bingyan walked quickly into the gate of the courtyard, but stopped after taking only two steps. She turned around and asked, "Did you tell the old man that Aunt Lian wanted to see him?"

"The old man hasn't come back yet." Yan'er replied.

"Since the old man is busy with official business, don't bother him." Wei Bingyan said softly. It's not that she didn't feel pity for Aunt Lian. She was injured by Wei Zhong's kick and couldn't get careful treatment. She couldn't hold on until today. Before she died, she wanted to see the man who served her for half her life. Such a beautiful wish was easy to fulfill.

but……

She knew exactly what Aunt Lian would say when she saw Wei Zhong, without having to guess.

Wasn't it for Wei Fengjing? Did he want to use his death to gain more love and care from Wei Zhong for Wei Fengjing? Did he want to use his death to fulfill Wei Bingru's wish...

How could she give Aunt Lian such an opportunity?

"What about the Second Miss and the Young Master... Madam has already sent people to bring the Second Miss back." Yan'er asked hesitantly. After all, Wei Bingru was now the future wife of the Crown Prince, and she didn't know whether the Young Master would inherit the Wei family as the eldest son. What would happen if they had to settle accounts one by one in the future?

Wei Bingyan sighed softly in her heart. Her mother was finally overwhelmed with kindness. She probably thought that it was her who caused Aunt Lian's current situation, so she was willing to take Wei Bingru back in the end.

After entering the room, I realized that the atmosphere here was depressing.

Aunt Shen knelt on the ground, crying and saying that she had suffered a great injustice. She had only given Qingxiu some nutritional supplements out of concern for her, but who could have known that something like this would happen.

Ever since Qingxiu became pregnant, Xiao treated her the same way as other concubines, giving her all the dues and visiting her from time to time. The concubines in the family had never gotten into trouble, and the one who had caused the most trouble had already been locked up. It was really hard to find out who had done this.

As for saying that it was Aunt Shen who did it, Xiao didn't believe it. Although Aunt Shen had a sharp tongue, she was not stupid enough to do such a stupid thing. How could she personally send something problematic to Qingxiu to eat? And Qingxiu had a miscarriage just after she left.

This incident was such a coincidence that it seemed as if it was deliberately targeted at Aunt Shen.

"When the old man comes back, he will investigate this matter. Aunt Shen, you should stay in the room and not go anywhere until the truth comes out." Xiao said to Aunt Shen coldly.

Aunt Shen kowtowed in shock and responded with a "yes".

Xiao looked around at everyone and said loudly, "The old man doesn't have many descendants. If any of you are not honest and have other ideas, don't blame me for being cruel and vicious. Go back!"

The concubines did not dare to say anything more. They bowed respectfully and then left.

Wei Bingyan waited until they all left before walking over to Xiao, "Mother."

Xiao looked at her tiredly, "You're back? Did that woman say anything?"

"What else can we say? The matter has already been resolved." Wei Bingyan said, stretching out her hand to hold Xiao's shoulder. She did not mention what happened to Shen Rouruo. "How did Qingxiu suddenly have such a thing?"

"I thought that if Aunt Lian was locked up, such things would not happen again in our family. But now I am worried about who would dare to do such a thing under my nose." Before, when Aunt Lian was successful, it was very difficult for the concubines or concubines in the family to give birth safely when they were pregnant. Now that she is under house arrest and free, such a thing still happened. It can only be said that this person was too evasive before.

Perhaps this person was also involved in the events before this.

Since he can harm Qingxiu, he will definitely harm others. No matter what, we must find this person.

"I heard from others that Aunt Lian is dying." Wei Bingyan asked.

"Well, let the Second Miss and Jing'er meet her." Xiao said that she couldn't bear to let Aunt Lian die in the dining hall like that.

Wei Bingyan said: "It's good to let the second sister come back. After all, she is her mother. However, although father has many concubines, Aunt Lian served him the longest. If Aunt Lian asked father for something before she died..."

For example, if Wei Fengjing became a legitimate child, then even if Xiao could get pregnant in the future, she would not be able to claim the title of the eldest son.

Xiao's expression was slightly tense. "I have thought about this, so I haven't asked anyone to invite your father back yet."

"You can only be kind when you should be kind." Wei Bingyan said softly. When you shouldn't be kind, your heart will be as hard as stone.

"You, at such a young age, yet you understand all that. I don't know if that's a good thing or not." Xiao looked at Wei Bingyan with heartache, thinking that it was because of too many worries and troubles at home that her daughter became like that.

She originally hoped that her daughter would grow up innocent and pure.

“Then you will be oppressed and bullied.” Wei Bingyan said with a smile, holding Xiao’s arm tightly.

Xiao touched her head and sighed, "I'm going to go over to Qingxiu to take a look. By the time it gets light, your father should be back."

"I'll go with you." Wei Bingyan said.

"No, it's not appropriate for a girl like you to go there. Go back to your room and have a rest." Xiao immediately objected firmly. Qingxiu was the place where miscarriages take place, and it was not appropriate for Bingyan, an unmarried young lady, to go there.

Wei Bingyan could only respond with a smile.

At this time, Xia Yuezhu's voice came from outside, "Madam, the old man is back."
