Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Yuyan really never appeared by her side again, and naturally did not go to Yinyuan. Old Master Wei had already known that he was going on a long journey, so he did not think it was strange that Li Yuyan, who came every day, disappeared.

The Wei family's garden was still filled with negativity and depression. Wei Zhong either stayed at Aunt Qiu's house or in the study. The days when he and Xiao were on equal terms in the past were long gone. Everyone thought that Aunt Qiu would take advantage of the situation and replace Aunt Lian's glory in the Wei family.

However, this concubine, who was originally a maidservant beside Xiao, still served Xiao with dignity and without showing any arrogance. Not only did Wei Zhong like her more, but Xiao also felt that she had not misjudged her at that time.

These days, without Li Yuyan's teasing in the dead of night, Wei Bingyan's life was uneventful and boring, but there was an indescribable sense of freedom and unrestrainedness. In addition to giving acupuncture to Xiao, she went to Yin Garden to watch the old man practice Tai Chi. Now, even without Li Yuyan, the old man could also practice Tai Chi very well.

However, Xiao's mood was inevitably affected by Wei Zhong's coldness. Although she was not depressed, her bright smile gradually faded, which made Wei Bingyan feel uncomfortable deep down. Not knowing how to comfort her, she could only use her health as an excuse to persuade her not to worry.

After all, when she took her mother's pulse today, she felt that the pulse seemed to be a little different. She was worried that she had taken the pulse wrong, so she did not have the courage to make it public and decided to confirm it the next day.

With this preparation, Wei Bingyan copied the precious medical book and read it carefully. After a while, Bai Binghui came in with an invitation letter, "Miss, Concubine Shen from the Fourth Prince's Mansion sent you an invitation."

Wei Bingyan put down the book in her hand. For a moment, she didn't think of who Concubine Shen was. When she saw the title of the post, she remembered that it was Shen Rouruo, who had been betrothed to the Fourth Prince as a concubine.

Shen Rouruo actually sent her a polite post? She really liked him.

"Miss, are you going to the Fourth Prince's Mansion?" Bai Binghui asked. Wei Zhong seemed to have very little contact with the Fourth Prince.

"Go, why not? Concubine Shen has kindly invited me. If I firmly refuse, wouldn't it give people a chance to talk about us and think that the Wei family is really against the Fourth Prince? Besides, Shen Rouruo regards us as her benefactor, so how can we not give her a chance to repay her kindness?" Wei Bingyan said with a smile.

Instead, she wanted to figure out what tricks Shen Rouruo was still planning to play at this moment.

Putting the post aside, Wei Bingyan gradually went towards the main house.

However, she happened to meet a distinguished guest of the Xiao family. Wei Bingyan was not unfamiliar with this distinguished guest. They were the mother and daughter of Marquis Chu who came from Jinyun City. Mrs. Chu had been in Beijing for some time.

In the past, she thought that she was just here to see the daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family. However, Wei Bingru looked several times and did not see this lady go back to Jinyun City. Wei Bingyan then realized that Mrs. Chu was planning to stay in the capital for a long time. At least, before Chu Xuying's marriage was settled, the mother and daughter would not leave.

This was the first time Wei Bingyan met the Chu mother and daughter in the capital. Because she and Chu Xuying had a conflict in Jinyun City, she was not allowed to meet them. Unexpectedly, she met them anyway.

After entering the door and bowing respectfully, Wei Bingyan smiled gently at Chu Xuying, then stood behind Xiao, her eyes falling on Wei Bingru who was standing beside her with her brows lowered and listening.

The last time Wei Bingru met the wife of Marquis Chu, she went back to her room and cried loudly. A maid told her about this matter secretly. She thought that the wife of Marquis Chu deliberately questioned her. Looking at the face shape of this lady, it was also known that she was not easy to get along with. Wei Bingru would definitely have a hard time when she came to the Chu family in the future, and the Prince of Chu was not a man who cherished flowers and jade.

Wei Bingru seemed to notice Wei Bingyan's gaze. She raised her eyelids slightly and looked coldly at the fierce light coming towards her. Wei Bingyan smiled slightly.

"Miss, I haven't seen you for a few months. You seem to have become even more outstanding." Mrs. Chu had not forgotten how Wei Bingyan had ruined her daughter's reputation in Jinyun City that day. She looked at her with a harsh gaze.

"No, it's still the same." Xiao said with a smile.

"Is the young lady married?" Mrs. Chu asked again.

Xiao replied, "She hasn't gotten married yet. My daughter is different from other people, so it's hard for her to find a marriage that she wants."

Mrs. Chu said hurriedly, "It's just like my daughter. Once she's made up her mind, it's hard to change."

"Oh? Miss Chu is getting engaged?" Xiao glanced at Chu Xueying with a smile.

Chu Xuying looked at Wei Bingyan expressionlessly. She still felt a deep hatred for Wei Bingyan. Seeing the person who had kept her under house arrest in a remote place for more than six months right next to her, she wanted to go over and slap him hard in the face. However, she knew better that if she really did that, her fate would surely be even more miserable than the last time.

"After all, our Lord Hou has fallen in love with someone. Now he just needs a matchmaker to help him bring them together. Mrs. Wei, I'll have to trouble you with this matter." Mrs. Chu's bright smile became thoughtful and enthusiastic, and she patted Xiao's hand warmly.

Xiao was intrigued. It turned out that Mrs. Chu, who had been pestering her these days, wanted her to be a matchmaker. "Which family of heroes is this?"

"You recognize this family. They are the Marquis Li family of Jinyun City. Our Ying'er and the top scholar have been childhood sweethearts. They both grew up in Jinyun City. Now they are both of marriageable age. What do you think, can you be the matchmaker?" Mrs. Chu said with a smile.

Growing up in the same Jinyun City, they are childhood sweethearts? Mrs. Chu was surprised to say such a thing. Wei Bingyan pursed her lips and almost smiled, but when she saw the shy look on Chu Xuying's face, she felt a lump in her heart.

Xiao glanced at Wei Bingyan without leaving any trace. She didn't expect that the Chu family would actually fall in love with Li Yuyan. Could a lady like Chu Xueying be worthy of Li Yuyan?

Indeed, she would not reveal these words. Not to mention that she would not be such a matchmaker for the Chu family, even if she wanted to, she could not nod and agree at this time, "Mrs. Chu, to be honest, I'm afraid you know what the current situation of our Wei family and Li family is. I'm afraid that if I become a matchmaker like this, it will be a bad thing."

Yes, I heard from others that Wei Zhong and Li Debing were incompatible. If I asked Mrs. Wei to be a matchmaker, what would happen if the Wei family disliked me? Mrs. Chu smiled unnaturally. She actually forgot such an important relationship. "Then, then it's a request."

Chu Xueying raised her upper jaw and looked directly at Wei Bingyan provocatively.

A hint of mocking smile flashed across Wei Bingyan's eyes. If she could be betrothed to Li Yuyan easily, why would the mother and daughter of the Chu family travel thousands of miles from Jinyun City to the capital?

Wei Bingru rolled her eyes at everything, with a gloomy smile deep in her heart, and remained silent.

After sending the Chu family mother and daughter away, Wei Bingru and Xiao immediately said goodbye. After returning to the house, the maid whispered a few words in her ear, and Wei Bingru laughed, "Madam Shen is a fool as expected, so let her go ahead and make trouble. I will definitely tell Jing'er about it."

The next day, Wei Bingyan took Bai Binghui and Anxiang to the Fourth Prince's residence. She didn't know what had happened at home until she came back, but it was too late.
