Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wei Bingyan raised her head, her eyes trembling, and her ventricles seemed to be squeezed tightly and then gently brushed, causing her pain and numbness. She looked into his eyes, and his eyes were filled with the heaviness of herself.

Yes, she was always heavy-hearted and didn't believe that he was sincere to her, so she tried her best to resist him and wanted to stay away from him. When she heard the old man say that he wanted her to marry him, she felt insulted.

Could it be that no one wants her? Apart from becoming the prince's concubine, she can only be betrothed to him. What if he dislikes her at some point? It's not that he wants to marry her... but how could she agree to marry her just to prevent her from being betrothed to the prince?

Li Yuyan struggled to resist the urge to hold her in his arms. She looked so fragile, as if she would break into pieces if touched. When he saw her for the first time, he thought she was a scheming and cunning woman. Later, he realized that beneath her cold and lonely appearance, she was actually weak and heavy, but this kind of weakness had never been revealed around others.

He wanted to gently smooth out her heaviness and weakness, he wanted to protect her.

"Do you know... what I want?" Wei Bingyan forced herself to suppress the emotions in her heart, but could not help sobbing and lowering her head, not wanting him to see the moisture in her eyes.

"What you want will definitely be here with me." Li Yuyan's eyes flashed with faint stars, and he spoke firmly and gently.

Wei Bingyan's heart ached and she bit her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from crying.

Li Yuyan placed her hand on the center of his palm. Her hand was very small, and his hand just covered her completely. "Try to trust me for once, okay?"

Tears fell on their tightly clasped hands and on the back of his hands.

This was the first time that her vision had never been blurred by tears since her rebirth.

"You're a bastard!" She grabbed his hand, scratched it with her sharp fingernails, and cursed him with tears and saliva flying.

"Uh!" Li Yuyan laughed, as if he saw the first ray of sunshine after the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. His facial features became clear and the infatuation in his eyes became even stronger.

"Bastard!" she cursed.

"I really don't recognize Princess Su Yan." he said.

Wei Bingyan forcefully threw his hand away, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, and looked at him with red eyes, "What have you been doing these days?"

Li Yuyan's fingers gently roamed her face, "Of course you have to behave better around His Majesty, otherwise how can you open your mouth to ask for his permission? I heard from others that even Uncle Song wants to be a matchmaker for you, Bingyan, why don't you think about it and run away from home, the Jianghu is much more fun than here."

"Are you sure?" Wei Bingyan was not angry this time, but looked at him with a slightly pouty lips.

In fact, she knew deep down in her heart that he would not take her away from home. He would not do such a thing that would hurt her extremely.

"I'm absolutely sure, otherwise I would have to be tortured by the old emperor every day!" Li Yuyan snorted coldly.

"It's your business if you plan to be manipulated by His Majesty, but you can't come to my territory and seduce my lovely granddaughter. Run away from home! How dare you say that? You're wasting your life, boy!" Old Master Wei's full-bodied voice sounded like a loud bell from behind.

Li Yuyan's face froze, and he turned to the old man and said seriously, "Old man, I was just joking!"

Old Master Wei snorted, "You can't just joke around! Are you done talking? If you've finished talking, why don't you leave? Do you want to stay and get some free food and drinks?"

"I will go to the palace again. I will come again to eat and drink next time!" Li Yuyan regarded the old man's gift as a sincere invitation, clasped his fists, bowed, and smiled.

Wei Bingyan raised her head and looked at his tilted head. The sunlight that shone on the earth poured down on his body, making his figure look even more slender and handsome. His eyes were filled with a bright and empty light.

She was so absorbed in watching that she didn't notice that he had turned around and was staring at her.

His eyes contained a hint of gentleness, yet were dark and gloomy. He only looked at her, as if he could only see her.

"I'll go into the palace first." He said softly.

Wei Bingyan blushed instantly, turned her head away calmly, and replied softly, "Yeah."

This continued until Li Yuyan's figure disappeared from Wei Bingyan's sight without a trace, and the stuffiness on her face never disappeared.

"Just a few sweet words made you cry like that. You don't have the tolerance of your grandmother at all!" Old Master Wei glared at his adorable granddaughter, whose eyes were visibly red, and snorted with disdain.

Wei Bingyan turned her head, her face flushed with anger as she asked, "What sweet words did Grandpa say to Grandma at that time?"

"That might be much better than what that cunning boy said!" Old Master Wei boasted, turned around and walked back into the house.

"Was Grandpa more cunning than Li Yuyan at that time?" Wei Bingyan stepped forward and asked with a smile.

The old man turned around and looked at her. "Didn't you say you didn't want to marry him? Why are you kissing him?"

Wei Bingyan was very embarrassed, her cute little face was red, "Grandpa..." Didn't the old man give her a bit of face when he spoke? How could she kiss Li Yuyan?

"It's not in vain that he has suffered bad luck in front of His Majesty, and he is not wronged." Although the old man looked serious, there was a gloating look in his eyes.

"What has he been doing in the palace these days?" Wei Bingyan asked. From what Guan Hualang said just now, she felt that Li Yuyan had not had a good time these days.

Old Master Wei frowned, "He is trying to snatch a wife from your Majesty's son. Can your Majesty let him off easily?"

"What does your majesty want him to do?" Wei Bingyan asked hurriedly.

"Why are you so nervous? Isn't he standing right in front of you? It's okay to let him suffer a little." Old Master Wei said this in a light tone, but in fact, he was helpless deep down in his heart. It was hard to tell what His Majesty was thinking, and he didn't expect that he would let Li Yuyan participate in that event...

No matter how Wei Bingyan asked, the old man was unwilling to tell what Li Yuyan had done in the palace in the past few days.

Wei Bingyan stopped asking questions, as she would get no result anyway. In fact, she was not unmoved. When she was in the villa, he did not tell her about the prince's plan to take her in as a concubine because he did not want her to worry. He felt that he had the ability to handle it, but she could not completely relax and trust him.

He was right, she didn't even have the courage to understand his feelings.

After quickly leaving Yin Garden, Wei Bingyan's mood really became much more relaxed. She no longer had to worry about the matter of the Crown Prince asking for an imperial decree. With Li Yuyan's ability, he would definitely ask His Majesty to reject the Crown Prince's request.

She didn't know why, but she was sure he could do it.

As for the Sixth Prince...

She had just told the old man about her encounter with the Sixth Prince at Prince Ping'an's Palace the day before. After hearing what she had heard, the old man remained silent for a long while and asked her to go to Prince Ping'an's Palace less often.

That's all!

She never knew... that the relationship between Prince Ping'an's Mansion and the Sixth Prince was so good. It was Princess Mudan who allowed her and the Sixth Prince to get together secretly. She couldn't imagine the reason why Princess Mudan did this.

Did she want to help the Sixth Prince? But she was just a person who had been away from home for a long time and had just returned to the capital. How could she participate in such an open and secret struggle?

Wei Bingyan went to the main room to talk to Xiao, and then went to see A Rui. When she went back, she happened to meet Wei Bingru who was about to pay her respects to Xiao.

Ever since returning home, Wei Bingru seldom appeared beside Wei Bingyan unless it was necessary. Every time he saw Wei Bingyan, he hung his head with the resentment in his eyes even deeper.

Jing'er's body never recovered, no wonder Wei Bingru resented her. In Wei Bingru's opinion, Jing'er's current situation was all thanks to Wei Bingyan.

The two had nothing to say when they met and just nodded to each other. Anyway, they had quarreled with each other more than once, so there was no need to pretend to have a deep sisterly love.

Wei Bingru took two steps forward, looked back at Wei Bingyan's shrinking figure, and a mocking smile appeared on her face. She whispered softly, "No matter how noble and proud you are, you are still not fit to be a concubine. What's there to be proud of?"

The voice was very small, but Wei Bingyan could still hear it. She did not stop her brisk steps and continued to move forward.

……

Mrs. Shen left the Wei Mansion and returned to the Shen Family. She immediately asked someone to go to the warehouse to get the fish maw that Shen Rouruo had sent earlier. After the fish maw was sent, she had not had time to use it. If Wei Bingyan had not reminded her today, she would have almost forgotten about it.

She used Wei Bingyan's method to put the fish maw into the wine, and as expected, it changed color...

Mrs. Shen took a breath, her face becoming increasingly darker as she looked at the fish maws. Finally, she could not help it and called a carriage to go to the Fourth Prince's mansion.

The day before, Shen Rouruo was severely reprimanded by the Fourth Prince, who also wanted her to be placed under house arrest. Today, Mrs. Shen came to visit. In the eyes of people who didn't know the inside story, they all felt that Mrs. Shen was heartbroken for Shen Rouruo. Since the Fourth Prince was not around, the Fourth Prince's wife decided to let her meet Shen Rouruo.

Compared with Shen Rouruo, the Fourth Prince's wife puts the Fourth Prince first in every matter. Therefore, she knows that she cannot offend the Shen family at this time, and naturally will not seriously argue with Shen Rouruo over such a trivial matter.

Mrs. Shen appeared in Shen Rouruo's room with a gloomy face and asked all the maids serving in the room to leave first.

"Mother, why are you here?" Shen Rouruo didn't expect that Mrs. Shen would come to see her today. She thought that she came to comfort her after hearing from others about the Fourth Prince's harsh words scolding her.

"I have something to ask you!" Mrs. Shen brushed away Shen Rouruo's hand and took out the fish maw from the box. "Explain to me why you do this?"

Shen Rouruo was in a daze, and her eyes were full of confusion. "Mother, I don't understand what you mean."

"Years ago, you said that you heard someone say that Mrs. Wei was pregnant and wanted to give her fish maw, but you also felt that she had misunderstood you, so you asked me to deliver the fish maw to the Wei family on your behalf. Roujun, what are your intentions? Do you know how serious this matter involves? You are not only harming Mrs. Wei, but also dragging yourself and the entire Shen family into this!" Mrs. Shen lowered her voice and cursed in frustration.

"Mother, what's wrong with this fish maw? You have to tell me the reason. I was asking you to present the fish maw to Mrs. Wei at that time. Is there something wrong?" Shen Rouruo became more confused. Her already suffocated heart felt even more aggrieved and painful. She didn't expect that even her mother would come to scold her.
