Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

After Li Yuyan left quickly, Wei Bingyan had a dream not long after. She probably solved a mystery. She dreamed until dawn. When she woke up, she was already in high spirits. The sun was shining brightly outside, but the temperature was a little cold.

Bai Binghui heard the noise, gently lifted the curtain and walked in, "Miss, are you awake?"

Wei Bingyan nodded, and after washing up with the help of Bai Binghui and Anxiang, she had some breakfast and went to give acupuncture to Xiao.

Xiao's acupuncture treatment cycle has entered the second step. Now acupuncture is only required once every five days, instead of once every two days as before. These days, Wei Zhong either stays in the main house or at Aunt Qiu's place.

With the passing of Aunt Lian, some servants who had flattered her and hoped for Wei Fengjing's future success changed their minds and wanted to find opportunities to serve in the main house. Some of them, seeing that Wei Zhong began to pay attention to Aunt Qiu, turned to rely on Aunt Qiu.

As a concubine, she could continue to maintain her original attitude in such an environment and was respectful to Xiao. She was indifferent to Wei Zhong's favor and the servants' sincere flattery, as if those had nothing to do with her.

Xiao was very pleased with Aunt Qiu's performance and felt that she was worthy of being promoted from her side. As expected, she was not as overbearing and presumptuous as Aunt Lian. She trusted Aunt Qiu more and more.

Wei Bingyan glanced at Aunt Qiu who was sent back by Xiao, and felt something strange deep in her heart.

She had never doubted Aunt Qiu, but she always felt that such a woman seemed unexpectedly indifferent. She didn't believe that Aunt Qiu had no hope at all. She was very sure and hoped that A Rui would be capable in the future.

It's not that Wei Bingyan is paranoid. After experiencing a lifetime of desolation, she doesn't have the courage to trust anyone with a whole heart. She turns around and asks Aunt Yin to keep an eye on Aunt Qiu.

After giving acupuncture to Xiao, Wei Bingyan wanted to go out to Guan's herbal medicine shop, but was stopped by Xiao.

"Your father was still fiercely questioning last night whether you were too close to the Li family. After all, Guan Hualang is Mrs. Li's nephew. You should visit them less often these days." Xiao didn't want to stop her daughter, but she didn't want her daughter to be scolded by Wei Zhong even more.

Wei Bingyan was not at all surprised why Xiao said that. It was no secret that she and Li Yuyan were senior and junior brothers and sisters. Wei Zhong had not asked her questions before because he was still trying to build relationships with Li Yuyan, the top scholar, and now he did not ask her directly for strict instructions, so she guessed it was because of the old man.

"Why should the affairs between father and Lord Li in the court involve my dealings with my senior brother?" Wei Bingyan was a little unhappy. She was becoming more and more disgusted with Wei Zhong.

Xiao sighed, "Once your father calms down, everything will be fine."

Wei Bingyan frowned and said, "Father, isn't this just a vent of anger? And Lord Li was only telling the truth about the Crown Prince's performance in Luosha River. Father is deliberately targeting Lord Li like this. Isn't he afraid of being criticized?"

"Bingyan!" Xiao sneered at her, "Just think about these words in your heart, don't speak them out loud!"

"Got it!" Wei Bingyan agreed reluctantly. Deep down, she really looked down on Wei Zhong's way of eliminating his opponents.

Xiao thought of something Wei Zhong had told her the day before. "The Crown Princess has mentioned you frequently these days. After all, she liked you very much before this. Since you came back from Jinyun City, you haven't gone to greet her. Why don't you go there the next day?"

Wei Bingyan originally wanted to refuse firmly. After she had the memories of her previous life, she wanted to subconsciously avoid the people around the Crown Prince. How could she continue to try to make friends with the Crown Princess as before?

But she suddenly thought of Guan Mengxin! Guan Mengxin and Wang Tianbao were still in the Prince's Mansion, so she had to go there anyway.

"Okay, mother, can you go with me?" Wei Bingyan asked with a smile.

"I have to go to the palace tomorrow, so I won't accompany you to the Prince's Mansion." Xiao said that she was going to meet Concubine Lu De the next day.

The mother and daughter chatted in a sweet voice for a while, and then Xia Yuezhu went in to answer, saying that it was Yan'er, who was with the young master, who had come.

After Wei Fengjing moved to the outer courtyard, all the people Xiao appointed to serve him were people she had promoted. Among them, Yan'er was the head maid, responsible for managing the courtyard for Wei Fengjing.

It may be because Wei Fengjing is still young, or because he suffered a severe blow after Aunt Lian passed away, but he is not only not as domineering as before, but has also become a little taciturn. Even when looking at Wei Zhong, he is not as friendly as before. He just bows respectfully and no longer goes up to him to act coquettishly.

Yan'er came to answer, saying that Wei Fengjing didn't like to go to class recently and had been hiding in the house. He also said that he was sick, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong. Yan'er didn't have the courage to make a decision, so she hurried to tell Xiao.

Xiao was quite concerned about Wei Fengjing. After hearing Yan'er's words, she asked Xia Yuezhu to bring Wei Fengjing over.

Wei Bingyan hadn't seen Wei Fengjing for a while, so she stayed to see what this young master was going to do. After a while, Wei Fengjing was brought over by Xia Yuezhu and the others, and Wei Bingru also came with them. Wei Bingru happened to be visiting this younger brother, and heard from others that the mistress was looking for him, so she came along.

Seeing Wei Bingyan was also in the room, Wei Bingru's face froze slightly. Whenever she saw Wei Bingyan, she would think of Li Yunze's ruthless indifference towards her, and deep in her heart she felt a pain of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Wei Bingyan actually ignored Wei Bingru's resentment towards her, which she could no longer suppress. Her eyes were only on Wei Fengjing.

After not seeing him for a while, I found that he had grown taller, but he seemed to have lost a lot of weight and was very depressed. He was completely different from the arrogant young master in the past.

Xiao asked Wei Fengjing softly why he didn't go to class.

Wei Fengjing mumbled that he was not feeling well, and his face looked a little timid.

"Xia Yuezhu, ask Imperial Physician Li to come and check on the young master. If he is really unwell, he must be treated immediately and carefully to avoid any stubborn sources of disease or lesions being left behind in the future." Xiao looked at Wei Fengjing knowingly and whispered to Xia Yuezhu.

"Mother, I'll be fine after a rest. There's no need to call the imperial physician." Wei Fengjing said hurriedly. He actually didn't want to follow the teacher to read all these lamentations. Wei Longrui was younger than him, but he studied better than him. The teacher always praised him. If it were different, before this, he could have beaten Wei Longrui up, but now he could only feel depressed in his heart.

Xiao looked at him with a smile, "The disease must be treated carefully as soon as possible, not just to deal with it. If you are not used to living in the outer hospital, you can come back and live here."

Wei Bingru was greatly surprised and quickly craned her neck to stare at Wei Fengjing.

"Mother, I really have nothing to do. I can go to school the next day. It's absolutely true." Wei Fengjing said hurriedly, "The outer courtyard is very good. I like it very much."

"Very good!" Xiao smiled gently and looked directly at Wei Bingru. "Mrs. Chu will return to the capital next month. She may come to our house then. Maybe she wants to meet us. You should be prepared."

Mrs. Chu? That would be Wei Bingru's future mother-in-law.

Wei Bingyan looked over with amusement. She had just learned about this matter and had no idea what Wei Bingru was thinking deep down after hearing it.

"Yes, mother!" Wei Bingru's voice trembled slightly and her face turned slightly pale.

She had always wanted to change her fate of marrying into the Chu family, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to find an effective way.

Xiao nodded with satisfaction, asked Yan'er to take Wei Fengjing back, and kept Wei Bingru behind to tell her to speed up and study the rules and etiquette seriously in the next few days.

Wei Bingru twisted her handkerchief until her knuckles turned slightly white, but she still didn't have the courage to object firmly. She could only say whatever Xiao said.

……

She left the main room quickly with Wei Bingru. Wei Bingyan looked at Wei Bingru, whose face was not red at all, and felt no pity in her heart. If Wei Bingru had not planned to marry her to Prince Chu, how could she have turned the tables on her? This day was all her own fault.

In the previous life, Wei Bingru used strategy to snatch her fate, and this time she destroyed her wishes. Everyone ended up in a draw for once, but there were still many things that they had not yet settled.

She didn't want to take it too seriously. As long as Wei Bingru didn't tease her, she would definitely not take the initiative.

After returning to Wanyuan, Wei Bingyan wrote a letter to Guan Hualangshu. Since she couldn't go out to ask him for help in investigating the affairs of the third son of the Liang family, she could always write a letter in person.

After writing the letter, Wei Bingyan asked Bai Binghui to go to Guan's herbal medicine shop.

After Wei Bingru came out of the main room, she did not go back to her own room immediately. Instead, she went to Wei Fengjing. She had been in a gloomy mood these past two days and had been a little careless towards her brother. Today she realized that something seemed to be wrong with her brother, so she anxiously wanted to go over and ask him questions.

Yan'er did not stop Wei Bingru from visiting Wei Fengjing, nor did she stay in the house as if she was on guard. After inviting Wei Bingru into the house, she left.

When seeing his own sister, Wei Fengjing couldn't help but his eyes became red and wet.

"What happened? Has anyone oppressed or bullied you?" Wei Bingru asked hurriedly. She had never seen Wei Fengjing look so aggrieved and painful.

"They all oppress and bully me!" Wei Fengjing cried softly with heavy sobs.

"Who!" Wei Bingru's face was as gloomy as water. "Who dares to oppress and bully a young master like you? Do you want to die?"

Wei Fengjing cried and said, "The teacher only said that Wei Longrui is good and that Wei Longrui's qualifications are better than mine. It was not like that before. These people look down on me. I wanted to hit Wei Longrui last time, but he dared to hit back hard. Second sister, let's tell father and let him drive these lowly embryos out!"

"Shut up!" Wei Bingru hurriedly covered Wei Fengjing's mouth, "Jing'er, things are different now..."

"But, if Wei Longrui was not here, my father would only love me." Wei Fengjing said with tears in his eyes.

Wei Bingru's expression changed. Yes, if her father had only Jing'er as a son... that would be different. Xiao had not had any children for many years, so how could she possibly give birth to a son? The only ones who could take over the Wei family in the future would be Jing'er and Wei Longrui. As for Aunt Shen's son who had not yet fully grown his teeth, that would not be a problem at all.

Given how much attention my father pays to that lowly girl Aunt Qiu now, there will be too many unpredictable changes in the future.

Wei Longrui...If he weren't here, everything would be easier.

But how to do it?

We have to find a way to kill two birds with one stone!

"Sister." Wei Fengjing looked at Wei Bingru who suddenly revealed a ferocious look and called out in panic.

Wei Bingru looked at him with a loving smile, "Jing'er, you must study hard. Only if you study hard, your father will like you especially, do you understand?"

Wei Fengjing nodded and replied softly, "Got it."
