Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

When she returned to the Wei family, Wei Bingyan found out that Xiao had also returned and was resting in the main room. Wei Zhong had gone to the Prince's Mansion and did not know about Xiao's return.

When Wei Bingyan heard that Xiao was in the main house, she resisted the urge to go find the old man and strode towards the main courtyard.

The main room was really lively. In addition to the three original concubines, there were also two newly accepted concubines, who came gracefully to greet Xiao respectfully.

If it were normal, Xiao would definitely feel uncomfortable seeing these two beautiful concubines, and would have to drink the tea they brought to her with a smile. But now, she felt cheerful deep down in her heart. It was Wei Zhong's business as to how many concubines he wanted to have, and she didn't need to treat him as her own world.

She just needs to maintain her ordinary life, give birth to this hard-earned child smoothly, and everything will be satisfactory.

This time, Xiao did not plan to stay for long. She only wanted to accompany her daughter to visit Prince Ping'an's Palace the next day.

After accepting the tea brought by the two new concubines, Xiao simply touched the rim of the cup to her lips and put it on the table. If you look carefully, you can easily notice that her fingers blocked the rim of the cup when it touched her lips.

It was not because of the background of these two concubines that she was on guard against them in advance. After knowing that there was something wrong with the fish maw sent by Concubine Qiu, she no longer trusted anyone except her daughter, let alone Wei Zhong's concubines.

Aunt Qiu stepped forward, wanting to stand behind Xiao and serve her like she had done before.

However, Xiao waved her hand at her, not letting her get close to her.

The pleasant scent of powder on Aunt Qiu's body was not too strong, but Xiao Shi did not like it very much. Moreover, she was very disgusted with such a servant, so how could she let her get close to her.

Aunt Qiu, who had just taken less than two steps towards Xiao, froze in her tracks. She didn't know whether to move forward or backward, but stood there awkwardly. She was now Wei Zhong's favorite concubine, and she could not be compared with Aunt Lian at that time. The servants in the house were all respectful when they saw her.

But she didn't expect that once Xiao came back, she became a lowly slave again.

Now Xiao Shi didn't give her face in front of all the concubines. She didn't know what her status in the Wei family would become in the future, but she didn't care at all...

Aunt Qiu hung her head and gradually retreated to the side motionlessly. Her drooping eyes swept across Xiao's bulging belly and she bit her lower lip tightly.

"I have always heard the old man and the sisters mention the madam. I have already secretly developed a crush on the madam. Now that the madam is back today, you must give me the opportunity to serve you." The speaker was Wei Zhong's concubine, Aunt Ping, who had just been adopted by Wei Zhong for a short time. She was only 18 years old this year. She was very distinctive and had a very sweet voice. Her face was full of flattering smiles towards Xiao.

"That's right. The old man always talks about how virtuous the lady is. Today I just realized that the lady is also a stunning beauty." Another concubine Yue hurriedly echoed.

Xiao raised her lips slightly, "You are so thoughtful. I just came back today and I am a little tired. You can all go back first. You don't have to serve me here."

After hearing Xiao say that she was tired, everyone naturally didn't have the courage to stay here and refused to leave. After looking at each other in dismay, they bowed and said goodbye somewhat unwillingly.

Aunt Qiu walked slowly and briskly, occasionally looking back at Xiao who had closed her eyes to recuperate.

When Wei Bingyan appeared in the main room, she happened to meet Aunt Qiu who was walking out of the gate of the courtyard. She frowned and looked at such a woman. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart that her mother came back at this time, and she didn't know what Aunt Qiu would do.

If Wei Bingyan had not figured out whether this woman and Shen Rouruo were in collusion, she would have taken action against her long ago. As long as someone was harmful to her mother, she would not be merciful. Since she was so hard-hearted that she destroyed the Wei family once, how could she be so merciful to a mere concubine?

"Miss!" Seeing Wei Bingyan, Aunt Qiu bowed hurriedly. As for Xiao, she was even more afraid of such a young lady.

Wei Bingyan looked at her coldly and indifferently, just nodded, and passed by Aunt Qiu.

A faint and pleasant fragrance emanated from Aunt Qiu's body and rushed into Wei Bingyan's nose.

This pleasant aroma...

Wei Bingyan's body paused slightly, she felt that this pleasant fragrance seemed to have been smelled before. It was an ointment made from a mixture of very fresh and pleasant lilac flowers and other pleasant scents. This kind of ointment was extremely precious. How could Aunt Qiu have such a thing?

Was it given to her by Wei Zhong sincerely? It seems that Wei Zhong really dotes on her.

No! No matter how much Wei Zhong doted on Aunt Qiu, if he got such an extremely precious ointment, he would definitely give it to his mother first. Aren’t there two other aunts who were given gifts by others?

She had just taken a quick glance outside and saw that both of them were very young and pretty, and Wei Zhong should be liking them just at this moment.

With doubt in her heart, Wei Bingyan quickly walked into the main room.

Xiao was already leaning on the soft bed to rest, and perhaps because she was in a hurry, her face did not look very well.

Hearing footsteps, Xiao opened her eyes and looked over. Seeing that it was Wei Bingyan, she smiled docilely, "Are you back?"

Wei Bingyan sat down on the Jinwei near the couch, holding Xiao's hand tightly and feeling her pulse, "Mom, why did you come back home so suddenly? Are you okay?"

"Someone wants to take advantage of my daughter. How can I feel at ease? Of course I have to come and see for myself." Xiao said softly, "I was in good spirits before, but after dealing with those people, I suddenly feel tired."

"It's better not to see these irrelevant people. Mother, you really shouldn't come back at this time. Your daughter can handle it." Wei Bingyan sighed and put Xiao's hand directly into the quilt. Fortunately, the pulse was beating normally.

Xiao asked, "How do you handle the most important event in your life? Did you see Concubine Lu De when you entered the palace? What did she say?"

Wei Bingyan looked at her and said softly, "Concubine Lu De didn't say anything, but I heard from others that the prince asked His Majesty for permission to marry me as a concubine. I was just about to ask Grandpa what was going on. Mother, don't worry, His Majesty didn't agree."

"What does the prince mean? Concubine? All that nonsense, but isn't she still a concubine? The legitimate daughter of my dignified Wei family is going to be a concubine. He is too arrogant." Xiao's body straightened up with anger, her expression gloomy, and a raging flame of rage rose up.

"Mom, don't be angry. It's not decided yet, right?" Wei Bingyan consoled. She didn't want to tell her mother, but she was afraid that she couldn't hide it and would know it sooner or later. It would be better to prepare herself mentally in advance to avoid being really upset.

Xiao said coldly, "When Wei Zhong comes back, I will definitely ask him about it!"

Wei Zhong... Wei Bingyan had no idea what he was thinking, but she knew that without the old man's permission, Wei Zhong could not decide her marriage.

She continued to persuade Xiao for a few more words, and finally Xiao felt relieved. The prince asked for permission. If His Majesty did not issue an order to grant the marriage, it would not matter. Now it mainly depends on His Majesty's will.

At this time, Xiao He came in, holding two elegant, crystal clear glass bottles in her hands.

"Madam, this was just sent to me by Aunt Qiu. She said that applying it on the body can make you feel energetic and help you sleep." Xiao He did not give the exquisite bottle to Xiao, but gave it to Wei Bingyan first.

Wei Bingyan sniffed the scent. It was the same scent she had just smelled on Aunt Qiu. It was not the ointment she had deliberately applied. "How could Aunt Qiu have such a thing?"

Pan Qiu, who did not go to the villa with Xiao, replied, "Madam is not at home. Many of the good things sent from outside this year have gone to the Second Madam and Aunt Qiu."

Xiao covered her nose and said, "What kind of thing is this? The smell is unpleasant. Take it away quickly. If you like it, take it away and use it."

Wei Bingyan's heart trembled, "Since you don't feel comfortable with the smell, then naturally the people around you can't use it. Why don't you take it back to me? I want to know what this thing is."

"Take it away!" Xiao nodded.

Wei Bingyan quickly left the main room with two small bottles of glazed glass and handed them to Aunt Yin. "I think there is something wrong with this thing. Take it to Master. I think Master should know what it is."

Aunt Yin took the exquisite bottle and said, "Hey, I'll go now."

Appearing in Yin Garden, the old man was drinking tea and playing chess with Li Yuyan by the overgrown lake. Looking at the two figures from afar, Wei Bingyan did not take a step forward. She did not want to see Li Yuyan now.

She didn't want to say it, but that didn't mean the two didn't know she was coming.

Li Yuyan looked at her with moist eyes, but when he saw the coldness in her eyes, he was slightly stunned. Was she angry with him? Did something happen in the palace? Was it because of that incident?

Wei Bingyan ignored Li Yuyan's words, bowed to the old man, and said softly: "Grandpa, I want to talk to you alone."

Old Master Wei looked at Li Yuyan with amusement.

"I'll withdraw first." Li Yuyan sighed in his heart. It was obvious that the junior sister was ordering him to leave.

"Then the old man won't send it off, Bai Binghui, but Young Master Li." The old man said with a smile.

Bai Binghui sent Li Yuyan to the gate of the yard.

"What's wrong with your young lady?" Li Yuyan was confused by his junior sister's ruthlessness and couldn't help but ask Bai Binghui.

"Cousin, don't you know?" Bai Binghui saw Wei Bingyan being bullied today, and deep down in her heart she blamed Li Yuyan a little, "It's all because of you..."

She told Li Yuyan everything that happened outside Quemen today.

"Ah..." Li Yuyan's face turned bitter. He felt wronged. Who could know where that Princess Su Yan came from? He had no idea who she was.

Bai Binghui whispered, "You only make Miss unhappy every time. If you continue like this, Miss will definitely be betrothed to someone else."

Li Yuyan's deep eyes turned slightly cold, and he left without saying anything else.

He thought of what Old Master Wei had just said to him, and considered some of His Majesty's recent behavior, and he felt his brisk steps become heavy.

He entered the court as an official only for the sake of revenge at that time. In fact, he had no intention of getting involved in these fierce confrontations that could not be made public. But now it is impossible for him to get out of it.

I originally thought he was very smart, but who could have known that there were two old guys behind him, each one more clever than the other!

He must be willing to be used by them in order to feel unhappy.

It's better to be in the free and unfettered world! At least you don't have to think so much when marrying a wife.
