Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Xiao Bingyan frowned when she suddenly heard a man's voice. She looked directly at the cobblestone path in the yard that was hidden by the towering trees. The footsteps came from the path and were getting closer and closer.

The only way back is this cobblestone path.

Xiao Bingyan signaled Anxiang to hide in an inconspicuous corner together, not wanting to meet the newcomers.

After a while, two men walked out of the path at the same time.

A man was wearing a dark blue wide-sleeved cloth robe, with his fine hair tied up in a bun, looking like a chivalrous hero.

The other one was wearing a green silk Taoist robe with a dark-colored silk belt tied tightly around his waist. The wide sleeves and collar were embroidered with dark patterns, which made him look handsome and elegant, and even more graceful.

This person is Song Yuyan, whom Xie Shujing was worried about just now.

Xiao Bingyan couldn't see their appearance, so she just lowered her head, wanting to wait until the two men walked far away before coming out.

After the sound gradually faded away, Xiao Bingyan came out from the corner. Who would have known that when she turned her head, she would see Li Yuyan standing upright not far away, looking straight at her.

Xiao Bingyan was stunned. She didn't expect that Li Yuyan didn't leave but stood upright nearby looking at her. She quickly regained her calm and composed expression and bowed indifferently to Li Yuyan.

Li Yuyan had never expected that there would be a young girl here. Just as he stepped out of the path, he found someone nearby. He thought that if it was a servant, he would come out to greet him instead of hiding quietly.

That’s why I wanted to see who it was. How do I know...it should be my mother’s distinguished guest.

"Uh, it's you, miss." The man near Li Yuyan showed an expression of surprise and strode towards Xiao Bingyan with his head held high.

Xiao Bingyan looked at the man walking towards her in surprise. Isn't this... the thief who hid in the flower garden in the Forbidden City at night? How could he be here?

Oh, by the way, he said that he has an aunt here, but how can he go with Li Yuyan?

"Miss, why are you here? You helped me last time, and I've been looking for a chance to repay you. It's so nice to see you today. I just want to thank you face to face from the bottom of my heart." The man stood upright beside Xiao Bingyan, his spirits high and his face full of joy.

"Cousin, do you recognize this lady?" Li Yuyan walked over and looked at the lady in confusion.

Cousin? Xiao Bingyan couldn't help but look at Li Yuyan. So, Mrs. Li is the aunt of such a thief?

"My surname is Guan, and my given name is Lang. Miss, thank you for your help that day." Guan Hualang did not formally reply to Song Yuyan. After introducing himself, he bowed solemnly to Xiao Bingyan.

Xiao Bingyan turned around and let him pass, saying unnaturally, "Master Guan, I have never been familiar with you and have never helped you in any way. I don't deserve your courtesy."

Guan Hualang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I will just keep my gratitude in my heart."

"You are actually the daughter of the Wei family?" Li Yuyan heard Guan Hualang's words clearly, and looked directly at Xiao Bingyan with eyes as if they were sharp knives, as if he was observing something.

Xiao Bingyan was frightened to death by Li Yuyan's gaze. The gentle and elegant Master Piaopiao immediately became wary of her, and his whole body exuded an awe-inspiring and invisible aura.

"So what?" Xiao Bingyan calmed down very quickly. She had seen Li Yuyan like that several times in her previous life. How could he be intimidated so easily?

Li Yuyan took a step closer to her, "What is your purpose in approaching my mother?"

What could be her purpose in approaching Mrs. Li?

In addition to asking her to help treat his mother carefully, is there any other plan?

Xiao Bingyan looked at Li Yuyan with a smile, her voice trembling a little, "Master Li's question is very strange, my purpose is very clear, don't you see it?"

Guan Hualang nudged Li Yuyan with his arm, "Isn't Auntie here to examine and treat Mrs. Wei? Isn't Miss Wei getting close to Auntie just for this matter?"

Li Yuyan frowned and looked at Xiao Bingyan with an unfathomable look. After a while, he clasped his fists and said, "I misunderstood Miss Wei. I'm sorry."

Xiao Bingyan knew that Li Yuyan would not ask her this question for no reason. There must be some hidden story behind it. Why did she get close to Mrs. Li? In the eyes of others, with her status as the legitimate daughter of the Wei family, she did not need to lower her status to please Mrs. Li.

But, if she also likes Li Yuyan like Xie Shujing and the others...

Her purpose in getting close to Mrs. Li is another matter.

Did Li Yuyan misunderstand her like that?

No! From what she knew about Li Yuyan, he would definitely not bother to say such words to a woman who was in love with him. So why?

"Miss Wei..." Guan Hualang opened his mouth, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Xiao Bingyan nodded to Li Yuyan calmly, interrupting what Guan Hualang was about to say, "I've been away for a long time, I have to go back, Master Guan, Master Li, I'm leaving first."

Before Guan Hualang could come to his senses, Xiao Bingyan had already stepped onto the cobblestone path and left without looking back.

Guan Hualang hit Li Yuyan's shoulder unhappily, "I'm talking to you. Not only do you always act like a deadbeat, but you also treat that girl like that. Look, you scared her away. You're just too suspicious. What else can that little girl do?"

Li Yuyan's eyes flashed with an expression, and the pretty boy smiled faintly, "Cousin, you really cherish women."

"I'm speaking up for Miss Wei. How can you feel guilty about treating her like that when you first met her? You don't have the bearing of a hero at all. If my aunt knew..." Guan Hualang kept lecturing Li Yuyan. Li Yuyan said nothing, turned around and walked towards the study.

"Wait a minute! I haven't finished yet!" Guan Hualang shouted.

Xiao Bingyan, who had just walked a few steps, heard Guan Hualang's high-pitched shout. Her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, she clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, pursed her lips and continued walking.

Although An Xiang had only been with Xiao Bingyan for a short time, she already had a certain understanding of her master, "Miss..."

Xiao Bingyan did not answer her. She was deeply immersed in her own thoughts. Why would Li Yuyan ask such a straightforward question?

It must not be for no reason, but she couldn't imagine what the reason was.

When she heard the faint sound of voices, Xiao Bingyan opened her mouth softly, "Don't let anyone else know what Li Yuyan said just now."

An Xiang responded softly, "Yes, Miss."

Xiao Bingyan did not go back to the bamboo pavilion, but went back into the house. Mrs. Li and the others had already discussed the final result and were gossiping about it.

Not long after, Xie Shujing and the others came back.

After sitting here for a long time, Xiao felt a little exhausted. Seeing Xiao Bingyan coming back, he stood up and immediately left.

Mrs. Li understood her health condition and did not try to persuade her to stay.

When others saw Xiao leave, they also retreated to Mrs. Li one after another.
