Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wei Bingru nodded slightly without changing her expression, walked quickly into the side room, stepped over the painted screen, and immediately saw the woman sitting at the Eight Immortals Table by the window. She had an elegant and steady peony-shaped hairstyle, her hair was loose and her bun was smooth, she wore a square pot with auspicious flowers on her hairpin, and she was wearing a skirt embroidered with silver butterflies, which made her skin look even whiter and purer like jade.

As expected, it was her! Wei Bingru's eyes were a little cold. She walked to the side of the woman and looked at her beautiful face. "Concubine Shen came to see me today. What do you want me to do?"

"Second Miss, please sit down and talk." Shen Rouruo smiled faintly, "The bright lights outside are like a beautiful painting, and the tea at Baiminglou is a unique and pleasant scenery. Watching the lights and drinking tea is an indescribable feeling."

Wei Bingru looked at her and sat down on the bench opposite her. She couldn't see clearly what Shen Rouruo wanted to do with her. If her memory was correct, Shen Rouruo should have a close relationship with Xiao's mother and daughter. She heard from others that Xiao had helped her once on her way back from Jinyun City.

"Concubine Shen is truly a person of leisure and elegance!" Wei Bingru smiled grimly. Deep down in her heart, she already felt that Shen Rou was entrusted by the Xiao family and deliberately designed a plan to trick her into joining the game.

"The second young lady seems to have misunderstood me." Shen Rouruo smiled and personally made a cup of tea for Wei Bingru.

Wei Bingru didn't know that Shen Rouruo and the Xiao mother and daughter had fallen out because of Wei Zhong, and she thought they were still old friends and had a very good relationship. "Concubine Shen, please speak up if you have anything to say."

Shen Rouruo knew why Wei Bingru had ill will towards her, so she smiled and said, "The second young lady will soon be betrothed to Prince Chu."

Wei Bingru pursed her lips and looked at Shen Rouruo coldly.

"It seems that you don't like this marriage very much." Shen Rouruo said with a smile.

"What does this have to do with Concubine Shen?" If the guy next to her was not the Fourth Prince's concubine, Wei Bingru would have left long ago and would not have talked to her with such meaningless nonsense.

"What if I can save you from being betrothed to Prince Chu?" Shen Rouruo picked up the cup with a smile. Her sharp fingernails were dyed pink, making her hands look even more snowy and delicate.

Wei Bingru looked at her in surprise, and a wave of thoughts surged in her mind. No need to be betrothed to Prince Chu? Really? But after thinking about it, this woman was obviously from the Xiao family, what was the meaning of saying this?

"Comparing Prince Chu and Li Yunze... naturally Li Yunze is more worthy of entrusting your life to, Second Miss, don't you think so?" Shen Rouruo's eyes raised tenderly, her voice full of temptation and enticement.

"What do you mean? I can't hear you clearly." Wei Bingru said intently.

Shen Rouruo smiled slightly, "Xiao is pregnant. If she happens to give birth to a son, he will be the legitimate son of the Wei family. Even if your younger brother is very capable in the future, he can't be called a concubine. And you are marrying to another place in Jinyun City. How are you going to take care of your younger brother?

Oh, yes, you must have never heard of the character of Prince Chu. Prince Chu has a fierce temper and flirts with women. Even the maids with some good looks in the family can hardly escape his cruel devil's hands. Are you willing to marry a husband like that?"

Wei Bingru had thought about this before. However, she felt ashamed and angry when hearing these words from an outsider, especially since the person who said them was sent by Xiao. "Whether I am willing or not, what does it have to do with outsiders? Can I refuse to marry if I am unwilling?"

"Don't you believe I can help you?" Shen Rouruo asked back, "I hate that mother and daughter as much as you do. Now I am the only one who can help you."

Ever since that day when Xiao was severely scolded by the Fourth Prince, Shen Rouruo has spent a lot of effort to make the Fourth Prince trust and love her again. But now, in addition to dealing with Xiao, she also has to be vigilant against Cheng, that lowly creature. She hopes that such a Wei Bingru will not be as useless as Aunt Qiu.

Wasn't she sent by Xiao to visit her? Wei Bingru looked a little strange, "You...seemed to have a deep friendship with Xiao?"

"That was in the past." Shen Rouruo said coldly.

Wei Bingru was stunned for a moment, and seeing the resentment in Shen Rouruo's eyes, she remembered that during the New Year, Xiao almost fainted because of her. She thought it was a rumor spread by others, could it be true?

"What do you want me to do?" Wei Bingru asked, but she was still skeptical deep down.

"I will definitely tell you later." Shen Rouruo said. She had not yet thought of how to deal with Xiao. After all these incidents with fish maw and perfumed dew, she thought that Xiao would not easily eat things given by outsiders. After some consideration, she had chosen to give up the idea of ​​removing the fetus in Xiao's belly.

Wei Bingru gritted her teeth and said, "Do you have any way to prevent me from marrying into Jinyun City?"

Shen Rouruo smiled and said, "Of course I have my own way, but you have to tell me first, what does the Xiao family do every day now?"

Can he really trust her? Wei Bingru herself didn't have any confidence. She thought that she had nowhere to go anyway. The worst thing she could do was to marry someone like Prince Chu. She might as well try her luck.

Wei Bingru talked to Shen Rouruo about what Xiao did every day, and how Wei Zhong now treated Xiao like a treasure and was unwilling to let her suffer any grievance or pain. In order to arouse Shen Rouruo's anger towards Xiao, she also exaggerated the words Wei Zhong had said to Shen Rouruo at home that day, even though she did not have extraordinary hearing to hear those words.

When Shen Rouruo heard Wei Zhong scolding her like that in front of Xiao, she was so angry that her whole body trembled and she wished she could have Xiao tortured to death.

Seeing Shen Rouruo's violent reaction, Wei Bingru was confused, but she believed that she also hated the Xiao mother and daughter.

A few days after the Lantern Festival, Wei Bingyan still pretended to be unwell and did not want to go out, and Xiao also received a reply from Old Master Xiao. Old Master Xiao was completely unaware of Concubine Lu De's sudden change of attitude. He told Xiao to be patient about everything and to talk about it after he arrived in the capital, and not to agree to anything Concubine Lu De asked for in the short term.

Old Master Xiao's reaction was similar to what Wei Bingyan had guessed. It was Concubine Lu De's idea alone to want the Seventh Prince to seize the throne, but it was unclear whether she was encouraged by others.

Wei Bingyan pretended to be ill to deceive those who wanted to take advantage of her, but she also worried about someone who was thousands of miles away. When he returned to the capital after staying up all night for several days, he did not even reply to His Majesty, and appeared in the Wei family in a hurry. He saw Wei Bingyan accompanying the old man to fish leisurely by the overgrown lake...

His complexion didn't look like he had been ill for half a month.

In the warm heart of the bright spring sun when all things sprout, the water is shimmering on the surface. Old Master Wei is waiting for the fish to swim into his net without restraint. However, as soon as Wei Bingyan's tempting but deadly bait moves, a fish has already bitten it tightly.

"Oh, what a big fish!" Wei Bingyan grabbed the fishing hook with all her strength and laughed happily.

Under the bright and golden sunlight that illuminated the earth, her skin was crystal clear and smooth like jade, and her bright and round eyes were smiling like crescent moons. The warm breeze brushed across her face and gently lifted the flowing hair at her temples...

This bright and charming face kept lingering in his mind for more than half a month. Whenever he felt tired, he only needed to think of her and he would feel full of energy. This lasted until Guan Hualang revealed in a letter that she had collapsed for a few days due to the torture of illness. Only then did he lose his temper and hurried back to visit her.

How does she look sick?

Wei Bingyan was happily putting the fish on the hook into the basket. When she was about to put the bait again, she felt a pair of burning eyes in her sight. She tilted her head to look over. The guy had handsome eyebrows and bright eyes. Perhaps his handsome face looked dusty at this moment, and his clothes seemed to be covered with dust.

She stood still, looking at that familiar face. Her fingers felt a little hot and her ventricles twitched from time to time.

When Old Master Wei noticed that his lovely granddaughter had suddenly become quiet, he turned his head to look at her, followed the line of sight of her eyes, and with a blooming smile overflowing from under his eyelids, he said to Bai Binghui and Luzhi who were nearby, "Since the young lady has caught the fish, come back tomorrow and send the fish to the kitchen and let the chef cook it into a dish."

Bai Binghui and Luzhi bowed their heads and smiled after hearing this, "Yes, old man."

Old Master Wei stood up, and when he walked to Li Yuyan's side, his eyes flashed with a smile.

Li Yuyan pulled himself back from the domineering pressure, clasped his fists and saluted the old man, "Old Master."

Old Master Wei nodded with a smile, "Have you entered the palace to see His Majesty?"

"Not yet." Li Yuyan replied.

"Let's go later!" said Old Master Wei, and then he put his hands behind his back and slowly walked out of the pleasant backyard.

Li Yuyan raised his head and looked directly at the woman who was still standing motionless by the overgrown weeds on the lakeside. He was shocked and walked towards her with his head held high.

It felt like a gust of hot wind was blowing towards her. Wei Bingyan dodged and saw Li Yuyan standing upright in front of her, less than a step away from each other.

"I heard from others that you were unwell." His voice was hoarse. After traveling for so many days, his bright eyes were now filled with layers of red veins.

He looked very tired, but his eyes were still bright when he looked at her. Wei Bingyan lowered her head slightly and looked at his clothes covered with dust. "I'm not ill. I just want to avoid some trouble."

"Even Guan Hualang was kept in the dark." He breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a spoiled smile, as if all the fatigue of the past few days had disappeared without a trace after hearing that she was safe and sound.

I hope nothing happened!
