Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Considering the previous fight between Jing'er and A Rui, Wei Bingru's sympathy for Aunt Qiu immediately disappeared in anger and resentment. She knew that she was going to win, but she didn't expect that there was someone like Aunt Qiu lurking behind the scenes, waiting for an opportunity to strike. It was really infuriating and annoying.

Wei Bingru walked over with an indifferent look on her face, thinking to herself, if only these two equally hypocritical women who pretended to be good people could fight to the death, it would be best if Aunt Qiu could make Xiao's unborn child die...

Not only was Wei Bingru watching the show from the sidelines, even Aunt Shen and Aunt Mei sent people out secretly to find out what was going on. The two newly married concubines were so bored that they gathered together and whispered about why the garden was suddenly in such a dire situation.

So much so that Mrs. Panic would aim the sharp tip of her spear precisely at them...

Wei Zhong came back at this time and entered the Auspicious Gate. Although he felt that the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year happily was not right, he did not think too much about it. As soon as he entered the spacious main gate, he knew that Xiao had returned. In his heart, he was happy and did not think too much.

Therefore, he did not go to the courtyard of Aunt Qiu as usual, but went to the main room. There, Xiao was lying on the soft big bed with a tired and bad complexion.

When Wei Zhong saw Xiao's state, his heart was pounding with fear. He walked to the bedside with his head held high and held Xiao's hands tightly with both hands. "Madam, are you okay? Why do you look so bad?"

After finishing her story, she glanced at Nanny Li and Pan Qiu who were serving in the room, "How did you serve Madam? Why is Madam so tired?"

Xiao patted Wei Zhong's back gently and said softly, "Old man, I'm fine. Don't scold them. I may have shaken a little on the way. I'll be fine after a rest."

Pan Qiu whispered to Wei Zhong, "Grandpa, when Madam first came home, she was in good spirits and looked as radiant as ever, but... but..."

"So what?" Wei Zhong asked with a frown.

"Several concubines came together to greet the Madam. After the Madam sat with them for a while, her complexion became worse and worse. Ever since the Madam became pregnant, she could not stand the smell of powder and perfume, but she had never been as serious as she was today. The Madam saw that they were not feeling well, so she asked the concubines to go back.

Afterwards, Aunt Qiu gave Madam two bottles of scented dew, and Madam gave the scented dew to Miss, and only then did she realize that musk was mixed in it..." Pan Qiu bowed her head while speaking, without even noticing Wei Zhong's expression at this time.

Xiao interrupted her softly, "How does this have anything to do with Aunt Qiu? This fragrant dew was most likely given to her by someone else sincerely."

Wei Zhong's face was dark, and the blazing flames in his eyes continued to rage. He cursed angrily, "Even if someone gave it to her sincerely, doesn't she know that you don't like the smell? There's even musk in it!"

Xia Yuezhu walked in at this time and bowed to Wei Zhong and Xiao. "Master, Madam, Miss asked Aunt Qiu where the perfumed dew came from. Aunt Qiu said it was sent to the family by outsiders as a New Year's gift. It was received from the Second Madam. Miss asked someone to get a bottle from the Second Madam. Although it is exactly the same,... the taste is completely different."

"What are you asking? Tell someone to kill that lowly bastard who dared to harm the Madam and throw her away. She actually dared to do such a thing, wasting my trust in her. I thought she was a rare loyal maidservant beside the Madam." When Wei Zhong heard Xia Yuezhu's words, he knew in his heart that Aunt Qiu must be sincere in wanting to harm Xiao.

As for the reason, he knew it was because of the child in Xiao's belly.

Even he had to be careful and take good care of Xiao's tender belly, but Aunt Qiu dared to use musk deer to poison his son.

Xiao said, "I couldn't get myself together today. I was drowsy the whole time and didn't feel any better until now. So I didn't ask Aunt Qiu in person and asked Bingyan to ask."

Wei Zhong said softly, "You can't stand the scent on her body. Don't let her into the house. Let Bingyan handle it."

"I'm afraid that people at home will know about it and gossip about it." Xiao said, "And A Rui..."

"There's no need to let anyone else in the family know. If A Rui finds out that his aunt deliberately slandered the mistress, how will he face her? Let Bingyan handle this matter secretly." Wei Zhong said.

Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked directly at Xia Yuezhu, "Go to Wanyuan and tell the young lady what the old man meant. If Aunt Qiu has turned over a new leaf, please give her a chance to live for A Rui's sake. Otherwise..." Xiao looked directly at Wei Zhong.

"Lock him up first, and then beat him to death after the Spring Festival." Wei Zhong said.

Xia Yuezhu followed the sound and left.

Although Wei Zhong did not show favoritism towards Aunt Qiu or do anything to make Xiao Shi helpless, his actions today did not touch Xiao Shi, but instead made her feel even more heartbroken.

If she wasn't pregnant today, what would Wei Zhong do?

No matter how hateful Aunt Qiu was, she still served him for several years and gave birth to a son for him. But he could still decide her life and death so cruelly and mercilessly, without any attachment...

If he can look at Aunt Qiu like that today, he will look at her like that one day!

A man like this... is simply not worthy of love.

"Madam, what are you thinking about? Are you not feeling well?" Seeing Xiao hanging her head and not saying anything, Wei Zhong hurriedly asked with concern.

Xiao curled her lips slightly, "I am a little tired."

……

Aunt Qiu watched Wei Bingyan open the crystal clear glass bottle brought by the Second Madam and carefully compare the smells. She felt a little nervous. She should not be able to find it. Shen Rouruo had told her that ordinary people could not smell this fragrant dew. Even if Wei Bingyan knew some medical skills, what would it matter? After all, she was just a little girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage.

"Aunt Qiu, did you really bring these two bottles of perfume from the Second Madam?" Wei Bingyan asked with a playful look.

"Yes!" Aunt Qiu refused to give in.

Wei Bingyan smiled grimly, "Could it be that the one who wanted to poison my mother with tea was the Second Madam? The fragrant dew that you gave to my mother sincerely is completely different from the one brought by the Second Madam. What do you have to say?"

Aunt Qiu said in frustration and pain: "Miss, I really don't know why this happened. I am just an insignificant servant. I was so happy to get such a good thing. How could I think about whether it would damage my body?"

"Are you really not going to tell me who gave you this fragrant dew?" Wei Bingyan asked calmly. She didn't want to waste words with Aunt Qiu anymore. What she wanted to hear was the person behind the scenes who wanted to deal with her mother, not her excuses.

"Miss, please check carefully. My loyalty to you is known to all the world. How could I dare to do such a thing?" Aunt Qiu kowtowed and spoke weakly.

Wei Bingyan rolled her eyes at her, wondering how she could quietly deal with a woman like this.

Aunt Qiu felt that Wei Bingyan's silence was because she could not find any solid evidence, so she could do nothing about it. She felt a little relaxed deep down in her heart. As early as when she decided to give the fragrant dew to Xiao sincerely, she had thought of an excuse and a way out. She did not believe that Xiao and Wei Bingyan dared to execute her without solid evidence.

Xia Yuezhu came in, bowed behind him, and told Wei Bingyan what Wei Zhong meant.

Wei Bingyan smiled without any surprise.

In the blink of an eye, Aunt Qiu's whole body felt cold and her face felt hot and cold at the same time, as if she had fallen into the ninth heaven of ice and fire.

After Xia Yuezhu finished her story, she went back.

"Aunt Qiu, you don't have time. It's stupid to let someone use you and support that guy. You should know what to do." Wei Bingyan said with a smile, and then instructed Aunt Yin, "Take Aunt Qiu back and tell someone to keep a close eye on her."

"Miss!" Aunt Qiu called, "Let me see A Rui."

"What's the point of seeing you!" Wei Bingyan said coldly without even looking at her.

Bai Binghui came over and put the crystal clear glass bottle into the box, "Miss, what should we do with these?"

"Keep it carefully for now, and ask the housekeeper to take a look at the account book the next day. Whoever sent the perfume should be recorded on it." Wei Bingyan said.

"There's no problem with the ones that were delivered." Bai Binghui said.

"The next day... let Aunt Yin find a way to get something out of the maidservant beside Aunt Qiu." She had to go to Prince Ping'an's Palace the next day, so this matter could only be discussed after the next day.

In fact, even if Aunt Qiu didn't tell her, she could basically guess who it was...

A woman like Shen Rouruo has been betrothed to the Fourth Prince. What else does she want to do?

The next day, Xiao gradually regained her spirits and went to Prince Ping'an's Palace with Wei Bingyan.

Aunt Qiu was placed under house arrest in the house, and no one outside could get close to her except the people arranged by Xiao. Every time Arei walked to the gate of the courtyard, there was sadness in his eyes that was inconsistent with his age, but he did not cry. Instead, he made a fuss to see Aunt Qiu.

He just took a look, and then returned to the main room, the room that Xiao arranged for him, to read the handwritten words...
