Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Seeing that Wei Bingyan finally stopped, although she looked angry, Li Yuyan still smiled like a black fox who had got what he wanted and walked over. He took Wei Bingyan's hand as if nothing had happened and walked towards the spacious courtyard on the other side.

Wei Bingyan tried hard to throw his hand away, but she was not as strong as him, so she could only hold it tightly.

His hands were very big, with a thin layer of calluses on the fingers and palms. Wei Bingyan looked at his domineering and forced hand, her face a little dazed. In the previous life... his hands seemed very smooth and snowy, as if there were no calluses.

Yes, Li Yuyan in the previous life did not have such good skills at all, and she actually ignored this matter intentionally or unintentionally. Could it be that Li Yuyan in this life is also different?

She always felt that because of her transformation, some people around her were influenced to change as well, but she and Li Yuyan had only known each other for less than two years, and the differences between him and his previous life had nothing to do with her at all.

"When did you start practicing martial arts?" Wei Bingyan couldn't help but ask, feeling curious deep down in her heart. She had originally planned not to talk to Li Yuyan today no matter what.

"When I was a child." Li Yuyan pouted his lips slightly. Seeing the anger on her face fade away, the smile in his eyes became deeper. His thumb gently rubbed her soft and resilient back. "When I was a child, I lived in my uncle's house. I would lie up and practice horse stance before dawn."

As expected, it was different. According to her understanding of Li Yuyan in the previous life, he had never practiced martial arts. So, why was he different? It was impossible that she was reborn less than two years ago because of her.

"What else do you want to know about me? I'll tell you everything!" Li Yuyan lowered his eyes and looked at her with a smile. As long as she was willing to ask about his past on her own initiative, it would be a beautiful thing.

The words were so charming that they instantly dispelled Wei Bingyan's worries.

She glared at him fiercely. "Why do you treat me so meanly? Because of what the master once said? You don't have to force yourself to do what the master wants you to do!"

Until today, Wei Bingyan still feels that Li Yuyan has been flirting with her in order to agree to Mrs. Li's decision to marry a young disciple like her into the Li family.

"No one can force me to do anything." Li Yuyan said softly, pushed open the gate of the yard and walked in.

Wei Bingyan was stunned. Since even Mrs. Li couldn't force him, what did he mean by that?

Li Yuyan took her directly to the tea room, then told the servants to prepare lunch. He sat down beside her and poured her a cup of tea himself.

I thought he would continue to defend himself, but after Li Yuyan said this, he didn't say anything else. He just slightly put away the bright smile on his lips and said, "Abao is in the prince's mansion."

"Where is Xiao Xin?" She could see that Guan Mengxin cared about Wang Tianbao. If Wang Tianbao went to the Prince's Mansion, she would guess that she was worried and might want to go with him.

"Gone!" Li Yuyan said softly.

Wei Bingyan was stunned. What did Guan Mengxin mean by missing? "You mean Xiao Xin might have also entered the Prince's Mansion, and you and Second Senior Brother don't know about it."

Li Yuyan nodded with a serious look.

"Does Master know?" Wei Bingyan asked. If Mrs. Li knew, she would definitely not let Second Senior Brother go to the Prince's Mansion, and might even keep Xiao Xin by her side.

"I don't know." Li Yuyan said: "She thinks Xiao Xin has gone back."

Wei Bingyan pursed her lips and looked at Li Yuyan without saying anything.

Li Yuyan tilted his neck and looked at her, "So I want to ask you for help."

"Why did Second Senior Brother enter the Prince's Mansion? What is your purpose? One of you is gradually getting close to the Fourth Prince, and the other is gradually getting close to the Prince. There must be a reason." After a moment, Wei Bingyan slowly opened her mouth.

She had originally decided not to ask about their affairs. No matter who they were getting close to or what they were doing, she just needed to be an outsider. However, they were all her senior brothers, so it was difficult for her to turn a blind eye.

"This has to start from what happened several years ago..." Li Yuyan's jade-like eyes darkened, "Eight years ago, Guan Hualang and I first knew A-Bao.

At that time, he was just a villager living in Wang Village, not far from Guanzhuang. Abao and I became acquainted with each other through fighting. Later, the three of us worked hard to practice martial arts together in the hills of the village, until five years ago, when a terrible plague broke out near Wang Village. The court issued an order to open the granaries and deliver food, and also sent many doctors to treat the civilians carefully.

But disasters abounded. Not long after, the Luosha River flooded, directly affecting Wang Village. Many farmers were too sick to recover in time, so they had to move away from Wang Village to recuperate elsewhere. At that time, His Majesty ordered the Crown Prince to settle the civilians. The Crown Prince did this to ask for a reward and to cover up his corruption..."

Wei Bingyan's expression changed involuntarily, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What did the prince do?"

"At that time, Wang Village was full of patients suffering from a terrible plague. Even people from other villages were gathered together for the convenience of careful treatment. In addition to the patients, there were also other civilians. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the prince surrounded Wang Village and issued an order to kill the villagers." Li Yuyan said coldly.

"Kill the village..." Wei Bingyan's voice became weak and her face turned pale.

Li Yuyan's handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of cold ice that had been there for thousands of years. His dark eyes flickered. He seemed to see the raging fire that shot straight up into the sky again, and heard the tragic cries for help again and again. He seemed to hear the sound of knives being raised and fell, and bones and blood being torn apart. Around him was a forest of fire filled with smoke, and blood was flowing on the ground...

“When we arrived, we could only rescue less than ten people except Abao.” Li Yuyan’s voice was hoarse, and his abdomen rose and fell slightly. The farmers in Wang Village were simple and unpretentious. Whenever he and Guan Hualang went back to the village, they could always be indistinguishable from them. Even if they did not have deep feelings for each other, how could they really turn a deaf ear to them after several years?

Even though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could imagine the situation at that time. Wei Bingyan's palm was cold and icy, "This matter... Your Majesty, don't you understand the inside story?"

"Everyone who knew the inside story is dead. His Majesty didn't even know that this was an imperial decree from the Crown Prince. He just sentenced the Marquis at that time." Li Yuyan said coldly, "The solid evidence was completely destroyed."

"So, Second Brother gradually approached the prince in order to seek revenge?" Wei Bingyan licked her dry and bitter thin lips, picked up the cup with trembling fingers and drank a mouthful of the already cold tea.

Li Yuyan lowered his eyelids, "If someone like the prince is allowed to become the emperor, the common people in the world will suffer unbearably."

He is not a patriotic person, but he also does not want to see the common people of the world being ruled by a beast. He goes to the capital to take the imperial examination and uses his strategy to become the top scholar that everyone pays attention to, all for the purpose of bringing down the prince.

With their martial arts skills, it would be effortless to secretly assassinate the prince. However, this was not the method they wanted. They wanted such a beast to kowtow and sincerely admit his mistake to hundreds of innocent ghosts in Wang Village in front of all the common people!

Wei Bingyan's expression was still ugly, but she no longer opened her mouth to ask questions.

Li Yuyan looked at her lovingly, held her hand, and said softly, "I'm not telling you this to panic you."

She was panicking, but more than that... panicking. Did Wei Zhong have any involvement in the prince's killing of villagers? Did he make plans for the prince? Did he know the inside story?

If Wei Zhong knew the inside story, then the target of Li Yuyan and his friends' revenge would be the Wei family. Then, was it for this matter that Li Yuyan helped him deal with the Wei family in his previous life?

Wei Bingyan's eyes were obviously red as she looked at Li Yuyan in shock. She should have guessed it earlier. The so-called evidence of conspiracy to rebel was not enough to have the Wei family confiscated and exterminated. Moreover, Wei Zhong did not really collude in rebellion at that time. Wei Zhong was such a wise man. How could he help the prince when he had already fallen?

It's Li Yuyan...

He took advantage of her!

Realizing that she was in a bad mood, Li Yuyan reached out his hand and wanted to touch her face.

"Don't touch me!" Wei Bingyan shouted hoarsely, "You...you..." Did you just use me to avenge your hatred in your previous life? Your so-called deep feelings and appreciation are all fake! Fake! You just gradually approached her to gain her trust, right? Right?

"Bingyan!" Li Yuyan was secretly surprised, she looked so wrong!

Tears fell from Wei Bingyan's eyelids and landed on the back of Li Yuyan's hand, burning like fire.

Regardless of her resistance, he pulled her into his arms and asked softly, "What's wrong with you? Did I scare you?"

Wei Bingyan hung her head. "You want to seek revenge on the prince. Do you want to deal with my father as well? Let me ask you, my father participated in the incident at that time."

Li Yuyan's whole body froze and he didn't know how to respond.

This was why he hated her so much in Jinyun City at that time, because she was Wei Zhong's daughter, because they had a grudge against the prince, and Wei Zhong was actually the prince's man, so he thought she was scheming...

"I'm just Wei Zhong's daughter. Your gradual approach to me will not help you in getting revenge. You'd better not waste your time on it." Wei Bingyan said softly, pushing his arms away with force.

Li Yuyan held up her cute little face, looked at her with clear eyes, and said in a low voice with indescribable anger, "Do you think I gradually approached you just to get revenge?"

"Could it be?" Wei Bingyan held back the tears in her eyes. She could no longer tell whether she was questioning him in her previous life or in this life.

Looking at her tears, Li Yuyan's clear eyes slowly softened. He lowered his head, bit her soft red lips slightly, and muttered unhappily, "How could I like a woman just for revenge?"

After he finished speaking, he kissed her vigorously and affectionately. Unlike the light pecks he had given her before, he held her waist steadily with one hand and held the back of her head with the other, pressing her towards him. He licked her soft red lips boldly but gently, licking them in a circuitous and tortuous manner.

"Let go... uh..." Wei Bingyan struggled hard. How could he do that to her? At this moment, she only had resentment towards him and could not hear what he said.

He kept retracting his hands to prevent her from leaving his arms, and his tongue gently opened her lips.

She trembled slightly in his arms.

"Bingyan?" He reluctantly left her lips and looked at her with bright and passionate eyes.

"Please, forgive me!" Wei Bingyan said softly, staggering back several steps. "If you want to avenge yourself, go ahead and avenge yourself. It has nothing to do with me. Don't use me anymore."

Li Yuyan clenched his fists and suppressed his anger in his voice, "I have never used you!"

"I will help you find Xiao Xin!" Wei Bingyan finished speaking, reaching out her hand to wipe away her tears, "Back off!"

"Bingyan!" Li Yuyan frowned and pulled her hand, "You don't believe me?"

Wei Bingyan waved his hand away and asked mockingly, "Can I trust you, Li Yuyan?"
