Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wei Bingyan placed the two crystal clear glass bottles on the table and said slowly and softly, "Aunt Yin, go and bring Aunt Qiu here. Bai Binghui, go and tell Madam to lock up everyone in Aunt Qiu's courtyard. This woman is really... becoming more and more impatient."

Aunt Yin thought for a moment and reminded, "Miss, you are just a lady after all. If you want to capture Aunt Qiu, the old man will blame you for not respecting him if he finds out."

"It's different this time. If he knows clearly that Aunt Qiu might harm my mother's child, he will not show mercy even if he doted on Aunt Qiu in the past." Wei Zhong seemed to dote on Aunt Qiu, but when compared with the legitimate child, he was colder than anyone else.

"What about the second young master..." Aunt Yin asked again. A Rui had lived in the villa for some time before. He was obedient and kind, a completely different person from his aunt. He was very cute. If he knew what his aunt had done, what would he think?

"Ask someone to take A Rui to his mother." Wei Bingyan said.

Aunt Yin and Bai Binghui responded and then left to do their work.

Wei Bingyan looked at the crystal clear glass bottle on the table with cold eyes. She kept the matter of fish maw to herself and settled the accounts with Aunt Buxunqiu one by one, trying to find out whether Mrs. Shen was being used by Shen Rouruo or it was her intention.

As for the Second Lady, after fifteen days of careful conditioning, her health has gradually improved. However, she has not yet thought that the difficulty lies with the fish maw. She thought she had over-supplemented herself and gave the remaining fish maw to the Second Master's concubine. Fortunately, there was not much and no problem occurred.

What exactly was Mrs. Shen's intention in sending her the fish maw... She hadn't found a good opportunity to meet Mrs. Shen yet, but after dealing with Aunt Qiu, she would definitely go and meet her.

She just didn't expect Aunt Qiu to be so impatient, which was indeed a little different from her previous calm and rational state.

As a young lady who had not yet married, it was indeed unreasonable for her to ask someone to capture Aunt Qiu, but she could not bear to see her mother wasting her energy to deal with an insignificant servant.

Anyway, her reputation is already like this, what does it matter if it gets worse? Wei Bingyan thought with a gloomy smile deep in her heart.

At this time, the sun was setting outside and it would soon be night.

There were rustling sounds of footsteps outside. Wei Bingyan raised her head and looked over. The thin curtain moved slightly, and a little maid opened the curtain. Aunt Qiu's pretty and calm face appeared in her field of vision, and Aunt Yin followed closely behind her.

"Miss." Aunt Qiu bowed, her face showing no anxiety. "I wonder why you called me here at this time?"

Wei Bingyan looked at such a woman and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, at such a critical juncture, she could still be so calm and composed, with no panic in her eyes. How could she be so sure that she could get away with it every time?

"Is this a sincere gift from Aunt Qiu to Madam?" Wei Bingyan sat still, glancing at the two crystal clear glass bottles from under her eyelids.

"I feel that this fragrant dew has a special flavor, so I sent it to Madam." Aunt Qiu replied in a gentle voice. When Aunt Yin appeared in her courtyard, she knew that the matter of the fragrant dew had been leaked.

If she hadn't prepared a way out, how could she have sent the fragrant dew to Xiao.

"Aunt Qiu has a special and pleasant fragrance. Is this the kind of perfume she uses?" Wei Bingyan asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Aunt Qiu did not deny it.

Wei Bingyan smiled gently, "Aunt Qiu, you are very smart. No one knew that it was you who caused Qingxiu's fetal death. A Rui had a fight with Jing'er, which eventually resulted in Jing'er's body being injured and he is unable to get up. On the surface, this matter has nothing to do with you.

With just one sentence from you, the old man almost kicked me out of the Wei family. You also put the blame on me for A Rui's fight, making me the main culprit in instigating the fight between my brothers. Knowing that my mother was pregnant, you felt that if my mother gave birth to a legitimate child, A Rui would lose his status in the future, so you deliberately wanted to hurt my mother.

Aunt Qiu, do you really think that no one can see how much you have done?"

Aunt Qiu raised her head in shock and looked at Wei Bingyan weakly, "Miss, how could you... Even if I had great courage, I would not dare to do anything that would harm Madam. Qingxiu's stillbirth was clearly caused by Yuzhu. I know that it was wrong to say what the young lady had said in my hasty temper. I have realized my mistake. Please forgive me, young lady."

"I'm not asking you to come here to give you a chance to make excuses. Even if you have thousands of reasons, what does it matter? Don't forget that your life or death is just a matter of the old man and his wife's thoughts. Do you think that my father dotes on you now and will let you hurt my mother? Where is your self-awareness?

You are confident whether you have done those things or not, and I don't need any solid evidence." Wei Bingyan said coldly, "Who gave you this fragrance dew?"

"I understand my fate, but Miss cannot accuse me of something I didn't do. Everyone in the family is truly happy that Madam has given birth to a son, and I pray devoutly for Madam every day. How could I do such a wicked thing to Madam?" Aunt Qiu argued fiercely for herself, feeling aggrieved and painful.

Wei Bingyan, however, had no interest in her sophistry. She could even fabricate solid evidence that the Wei family was in collusion in rebellion, let alone deal with a little concubine. What kind of solid evidence did she need to find?

If it was so easy to get solid evidence, would Aunt Qiu still be alive today? Would she and her mother have been kept in the dark for so long?

"Who gave you this perfume?" she asked. This was the main point she wanted to know.

Aunt Qiu gritted her teeth, knowing that a young lady like this was different from a lady. A lady would be kind-hearted, but a Wei Bingyan like this... "This was given by someone from outside. I got it from the Second Madam. I don't know who sent it."

Wei Bingyan smiled and said to Aunt Yin, "Aunt Yin, go ask the Second Madam for a bottle of perfumed dew."

Bai Binghui walked in at this time and whispered in Wei Bingyan's ear, "Miss, Madam has asked people to lock up everyone there. She has left Aunt Qiu in your care. If there are any problems, she will talk to the old man."

The words were spoken neither too far nor too close, but loud enough for Aunt Qiu to hear clearly.

Wei Bingyan glanced at her sideways and saw that she still did not look anxious, as if she was sure that everything would be fine in the end.

Compared with Aunt Lian, Aunt Qiu is the most unpredictable. If she had not had the experience of living her life over again, she would definitely not have been able to discover the scheming of such a woman. No wonder she couldn't see it in her previous life.

She was a little confused. Between Aunt Qiu and Shen Rouruo...whose tricks were more powerful?

"After Jing'er lost Aunt Lian, he ended up being plotted against and having his body damaged. I wonder if Arui would have suffered the same fate as Jing'er if he had lost you." After Bai Binghui finished her words, Wei Bingyan did not speak for a long time and the room was silent.

Aunt Qiu's heart, which had never been nervous before, became tense, and it continued to do so until she heard these words, when her expression changed color.

"Arui is your younger brother. The young lady will definitely protect him." Aunt Qiu tried to keep her voice steady.

Wei Bingyan smiled, "Isn't Jing'er my brother? What's the difference between them?"

“If the young lady wants to kill me on a trumped-up charge, I don’t have the courage to complain. I just hope that the young lady will take good care of A Rui in the future.” Aunt Qiu knelt down and kowtowed to Wei Bingyan.

Bai Binghui looked at her and said, "Our young lady is kind and gentle, she would not do anything to you for no reason. You should not make it sound like you are innocent. Do you think A Rui does not know the true face of a concubine like you? If you really felt at ease, why would A Rui ask Madam to forgive you?"

Aunt Qiu was stunned.

Wei Bingyan actually looked directly at the thin curtain, and Aunt Yin walked in holding a crystal clear glass bottle that was exactly the same as the one on the table.

Everyone in Aunt Qiu's courtyard was locked up. Xiao asked Xiao He to bring people to watch over them. No news could leak out, and especially not let other people in the family know about the situation. After all, it was a major festival at this time, and if it got out, it would affect the reputation of the entire Wei family.

However, no matter how low-key he was, these people with ulterior motives still saw something was going on. They just didn't know what had happened and thought that Xiao's return home this time was to deal with some people and establish his authority. All of a sudden, many people were terrified, fearing that they would be the one to be killed as a warning to the rest.

When Wei Bingru came back from Jing'er's place, she passed by Aunt Qiu's courtyard and found that it was a little different today. Although the courtyard was still brightly lit, the mothers-in-law guarding the gate had been replaced. She knew those two mothers-in-law; they were from the main house.

Why are the people from the Madam's place here? Could something have happened to Aunt Qiu?

Wei Bingru looked into the courtyard with her bright eyes and unexpectedly saw Xia Yuezhu's figure. She was secretly surprised. She thought that something must have happened to Aunt Qiu. Was it the Xiao family who wanted to deal with her?

Yes, my father dotes on Aunt Qiu the most these days, so Mrs. Xiao must be envious and jealous, so she finds any excuse to deal with Aunt Qiu, just like she did with her aunt at that time. However, Aunt Qiu is very scheming and is many times more powerful than her aunt. If Mrs. Xiao wants to deal with her, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.
