Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

The person Wei Zhong sent to invite Xiao to return home was the wife of the housekeeper. Her husband's surname was Wang, so she was called Wang's. She was also promoted by Xiao before this.

Ever since Xiao went to stay at the villa temporarily, Wang's wife did not try to please the concubine or Wei Zhong's favorite concubine Qiu like some people did. Instead, she kept her head down and worked, turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside. When she received Wei Zhong's instructions, she was happy for Xiao and wished she could invite the wife home immediately.

She originally thought that the wife had been driven out by the old man and was destined to live a miserable life, but unexpectedly, the wife she saw looked more radiant and happy than ever before, and seemed to be living a better life than when she lived at home.

Probably because of the pregnancy...

Thinking of his wife being pregnant, Wang Jia's face was filled with joy, and he quickened his pace, determined to tell the old man the news immediately, as the old man would surely be happy.

Wang's family appeared in Wei Zhong's study, but was told that the old man had gone to the Prince's Mansion and didn't know when he would be back.

This... Wang Jia couldn't hide the joy on his face. He thought it would be better to tell the old man the news first. The old man would definitely be happy.

After entering the auspicious gate, the Wang family walked towards the Hidden Garden with big strides.

But he happened to meet Aunt Qiu who was returning to the courtyard.

Aunt Qiu saw Wang's happy face and stopped him. "Wang, where are you going?"

"Aunt Qiu." Wang Jia's expression was restrained, and she bowed to Aunt Qiu. "The old man asked me to ask Madam to come back today. I have something to tell the old man."

Wei Zhong asked someone to invite Madam Xiao back? Aunt Qiu was stunned. Wei Zhong didn't tell her about it last night, so why did he suddenly ask someone to invite Madam back?

Yes, he drank too much last night and got drunk. He was busy hugging her and venting his feelings... He didn't even tell her that he was going to invite Xiao back.

"What does Madam say? When will she be back?" Aunt Qiu made herself look happy, as if she was also looking forward to Xiao's return.

Wang Jia couldn't help but laugh, "If we want to invite the Madam back at this time, the old man has to go and invite her personally."

"What do you mean? Doesn't the Madam want to come back?" Aunt Qiu asked.

"Madam is almost five months pregnant. If the old man knew, he would definitely go and pick her up himself." When Wang Jia talked about this, her brows were already full of joy, and her eyes seemed to be watching Aunt Qiu's expression intentionally or unintentionally.

No matter how calm and rational Aunt Ren Qiu was on weekdays, she was still completely stunned when she heard the news that Xiao was pregnant.

How could Xiao still have a child? How could it be possible! It had been many years, and the young lady was about to turn fourteen. How could Xiao still have a child?

"You...how do you know that the madam is pregnant?" Aunt Qiu felt her mouth was a little dry and astringent, and asked anxiously at the Wang family.

"Oh, the Madam is already pregnant, we can tell at a glance, how can we not know, it will definitely be a little boy in the future." Wang Jia said, but he was smiling grimly in his heart. Ever since the Madam went to the villa, your Aunt Qiu has been living a happier life than anyone else. Her loyalty to the Madam in the past has disappeared without a trace. Now that she hears that the Madam is pregnant, she must be unhappy deep down in her heart.

Aunt Qiu asked sharply, "Is the pregnancy real?"

Wang Jia frowned and looked at her, "Could it be fake? Aunt Qiu, what do you mean? I don't have the guts to tell lies."

She actually lost her mind around a servant! Aunt Qiu's face changed slightly, "I'm really happy for the Madam."

"That's right. I'll go and report to the old master right away." Wang bowed and passed by Aunt Qiu.

Aunt Qiu quickly quickened her pace and grasped the silk handkerchief in her hand. A thought flashed through her mind: the Wei family must not have a legitimate child! When this thought came to her mind, she felt a bean-sized sweat coming out of her back. How could she prevent the Xiao family from giving birth to a legitimate child?

It was too late now, Xiao must have doubted her.

No wonder the old man wanted them mother and daughter to go to the villa. He must have known that Xiao was pregnant!

Aunt Qiu returned to the room in a state of uneasiness, with an unusual look of panic in her eyes.

"Aunt, are you okay?" Her maid Yanhong came in and asked worriedly.

"Nothing!" Aunt Qiu shook her head and was about to send Yan Hong away, but she didn't know what she thought of, "Yan Hong, you said that the person who brought you the message that day was really from the Fourth Prince's Mansion?"

Yan Hong replied softly, "That guy said her master and you have met several times."

"As expected, it's her..." Aunt Qiu sighed. She was not wrong. That girl was really Shen Rouruo. Why would she come to her?

How did she know that Wei Bingyan was looking for those two servants? Could it be that Shen Rouruo had planted spies in the Wei family? But why would she help herself?

……

Wei Zhong did not come back until dark, but he was already drunk and went straight to rest in the study. The next day, Aunt Qiu came early in the morning to help him wash up.

The Wang family came to give him an answer and told him that Xiao was almost five months pregnant.

Wei Zhong was so shocked that he was speechless at the time, as if a huge pot cake suddenly fell from the sky. He felt that something that had no possibility in his entire life was actually possible!

Aunt Qiu said with a smile beside him, "Congratulations, old man."

"Is this true?" Wei Zhong asked, wanting to be sure again.

"I thought the old man had known about it a long time ago. It turns out that Madam didn't tell you. You're already five months pregnant, and Madam has been in the villa for more than two months." Aunt Qiu said with a smile. It was a pity that the monthly pregnancy must be true, otherwise it would be hard to say whether the child was from the Wei family.

Wei Zhong didn't listen to what Aunt Qiu said. He thought about the day when Wei Bingyan had a chat with the old master alone, and the old master asked them to live outside. Could it be that the old master already knew about it at that time?

His daughter actually hid it from him? Wei Zhong was unhappy deep down, but no matter how unhappy he was, it was completely drowned out by his great joy.

He pushed Aunt Qiu's hand away vigorously and walked out with his head held high. "Prepare the car! Go pick up the Madam."

Aunt Qiu's hands froze in the air, and then she sneered. Even if Wei Zhong showed that he loved her, so what? Even if he cared about A Rui, so what? It wouldn't last forever, and A Rui was not a legitimate child.

No matter how much he liked A Rui and Jing Er, as long as Xiao gave birth to a son, he would not see other sons. Only legitimate children, only legitimate children...

Wei Zhong appeared in the villa without stopping, and appeared beside Xiao with an expression that could not hide his happiness. He looked straight at her bulging belly and said excitedly, "Madam, you are pregnant indeed."

Xiao was holding Xia Yuezhu's hand and was about to go to the small garden to stroll around and digest. Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, she saw Wei Zhong walking towards her with his head held high. After hearing his first words, Xiao smiled very lightly and realized that deep in her heart she no longer felt helpless towards him, and she actually had no feelings at all for him.

"Grandpa, what's the matter that brings you here in such a hurry?" Xiao Shi seemed not to hear Wei Zhong's question. She looked at her husband with a little surprise, as he had not appeared for more than two months and had not even said a kind word of comfort.

Wei Zhong stepped onto the steps, took Xia Yuezhu's place and held Xiao's hand, "Madam, I'm here to take you home. You are pregnant now, and it will be inconvenient to live in the villa. You should go home and rest peacefully for the baby."

Xiao shook off his hand without leaving a trace and said softly, "I feel that this place is much better than home. It's just right for me to rest and take care of my pregnancy here."

"The New Year is coming soon. Do you still want to live here? And Xiaoru's marriage is in the cards. You are her mother, so you have to go back to coordinate the overall situation." Wei Zhong was reluctant to say anything harsh to Xiao, so he discussed the matter carefully in an extremely gentle tone.

"With the Second Madam and Aunt Qiu at home, everything is in order. I am not suitable to be a housekeeper now, so it is just right for them to help. Whether I go back for the New Year or not will not have a big impact. As for the Second Miss's marriage..."

Xiao smiled softly, "I've been waiting until the day of the official engagement. It won't be too late for me to go back. Isn't there still a few months left?"

Wei Zhong couldn't find a reason to continue persuading Xiao to go back, but he couldn't bring himself to say sorry. He was indeed emotional that day and blamed her without asking the reason.

"Grandpa, it's the right time for me to rest and take care of my baby here. The doctor also said that since I can still get pregnant at my age, I should be more careful about everything. This baby seems to be not stable and will be shaken by the carriage. I'm afraid it's not good." Xiao slowly walked down the stairs and headed towards the small garden.

"This... this is, the child is more important." After hearing what Xiao said, Wei Zhong did not have the courage to let her go back, but he still followed Xiao closely and asked softly, "Madam, why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant?"

Xiao said, "I only found out after I arrived at the villa. The old man was busy with work and didn't want to disturb you and distract you, so I didn't send anyone to tell you."

Wei Zhong frowned. It felt like they hadn't seen each other for two months, but Xiao's attitude towards him seemed a little different from before. Was it his hallucination? This feeling was not very good, as if he was a dispensable person.

"I'll ask someone to send some nutritional supplements over. You should take good care of your body." He looked at Xiao's face, which was more radiant than before, and noticed that her facial features had a touch of indifferent and free-spiritedness.

"Thank you for your concern, old man." Xiao said with a smile.

Wei Zhong felt very upset deep down in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. He only resented that he had spoken so harshly at that time. If he had known that Xiao was pregnant, he would never have said a single harsh word to her.

Although Xiao's attitude was obviously too polite, Wei Zhong was still reluctant to leave. He accompanied Xiao for a stroll and then went back to the house to rest. He stayed there until it was almost night before he left reluctantly and said he would come again the next day.

After hearing this, Xiao smiled grimly in her heart. If she wasn't pregnant, how could he be so attentive to her?

As expected, what Mrs. Li said was right. When you care about a man, he will treat himself as a treasure. But when you no longer care about him, what can he still regard himself as?

Wei Bingyan, who had been avoiding seeing Wei Zhong, couldn't help but break into a brilliant smile on her bright face when she heard from others that Xiao had firmly refused.
