Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wei Bingyan watched Wei Bingru carefully for quite some time and always felt that she was unusually quiet. It was hard to believe that Wei Bingru would really be willing to be betrothed to Prince Chu. Although it seemed that she had no ability to change this marriage, but... Wei Bingyan just had a vague premonition.

Wei Bingru was actually quite uneasy about Wei Bingyan's cautiousness. Shen Rouruo had clearly nodded in agreement and would not let her be betrothed to Prince Chu. But now the wedding day had come in a blink of an eye, and there was still no progress. Could it be that Shen Rouruo was just playing with her?

The more she thought about it, the heavier her heart became. She really didn't want to marry into Jinyun City and let Xiao's family manipulate her marriage at will, but...

Can she really trust Shen Rouruo?

At this time, the team that was welcoming the bride of Prince Chu brought bad news. When passing through Lingshan City, they were strolling in a brothel with two slaves, but they died in the brothel due to excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures.

The groom was wandering around a brothel while welcoming the bride, and then died suddenly in the brothel. This kind of thing was not a glorious thing at all. The Marquis quickly rushed to Lingshan City, brought the body of Prince Chu back to Jinyun City, and smashed the brothel in anger, even killing all the servants who accompanied Prince Chu to welcome the bride.

They also announced to the public that Prince Chu had just fallen ill on the way and did not die suddenly in the brothel.

Now that Prince Chu has passed away, this beautiful marriage naturally cannot proceed as planned. Not only the Chu family, but also the Wei family were caught off guard.

"I never thought that Prince Chu is so uncontrollable that he could do such a thing on the way to meet the bride. It's really...really..." Xiao caught up with Wei Zhong who had just returned from outside. Although her face had a sad look, she was full of regret in her heart. In this way, Wei Bingru would not be able to get married, and it would definitely be a trouble to stay at home.

Wei Zhong's face was sinister and frightening. He held Xiao's hand and sat down. It was originally a happy marriage, but in the end it gradually turned into a tragic event. Not only could his daughter not get married, but he also became a laughing stock. The Chu family really made him lose face!

"After the murder of Prince Chu is dealt with, the Marquis will come to the capital. You should be prepared. Although children and relatives cannot be married, but... things must come to an end." Wei Zhong said.

Xiao agreed.

At that time, Wei Zhong had let Wei Bingru betrothed to the Prince of Chu in order to win over the marquis for the prince. Now that the prince has been punished by His Majesty and has been asked to reflect on his mistakes, his power has plummeted, and he no longer trusts the military advisors around him. As the prince's former right-hand man, Wei Zhong is not a rogue.

He had done so much for the prince, but in the end, because of someone else's words, he became suspicious of people as loyal as him and Mr. Tang...

It was really ironic and funny, so he decided not to go anywhere except for the work in the next two months and stayed at home to accompany Xiao.

Ever since Xiao came back from the villa, he seemed to have changed a lot, but he couldn't tell what was different. It seemed that he was different from before, which made him feel very strange.

Xiao had no idea what Wei Zhong was thinking at this time. She was just thinking that if Wei Bingru couldn't marry into the Chu family, she would probably not be able to propose marriage again within one to two years. Even if she wanted to marry off such a concubine's daughter as soon as possible, no one would dare to marry her.

Really angry!

"How have you been feeling these days? You're about to give birth, so you have to be careful about everything. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me." Wei Zhong focused his thoughts on Xiao's belly, his eyes full of hope.

Ever since Xiao came to her senses, her attitude towards Wei Zhong has always been indifferent. All she wants now is to give birth to the child safely and doesn't want anything else.

"On the contrary, I don't feel any discomfort, thanks to Mrs. Li. It's really thanks to her that she taught me some tips on how to have a safe and peaceful pregnancy. I feel even more relaxed than when I was pregnant with Bingyan." Xiao said with a smile.

When talking about the Li family, Wei Zhong just smiled and said, "Great..."

……

Guanyuan, inner room.

Wei Bingyan picked up her pen and started painting attentively. Ever since she heard about the sudden death of Prince Chu, she has been painting very quietly in the house. Now more than ten days have passed, and she finally finished a painting of endless spring scenery.

"Miss." Bai Binghui wrung out a wet cloth and wiped Wei Bingyan's hands.

"Has senior brother replied?" Wei Bingyan stared at the thin green branches outside. The sunlight shining on the earth completely penetrated through the lush leaves and sprinkled on the ground. It was truly a beautiful scene of spring when all things were sprouting.

He took out the letter from his wide sleeves and said, "I just got it."

Wei Bingyan's eyes lit up, she took it and opened it to have a look.

After hearing the news of Prince Chu's sudden death, Wei Bingyan suspected whether it was man-made. She originally wanted to ask Li Yuyan to help investigate it repeatedly, but Li Yuyan was so busy recently that she could only ask Guan Hualang who was still in Guanzhuang.

It was well known that Prince Chu was lustful, but he wouldn't be so bizarre as to do such a thing on the way to pick up the bride, and what's more, it happened to be such a coincidence!

She suspected that it was Wei Bingru, but if she thought about it seriously, how could Wei Bingru have the ability to kill Prince Chu? If she had such an ability, she would have dealt with her and her mother long ago. How could she have endured until today?

Who is this now? Who has a grudge against the Chu family?

Even if they have hatred towards the Chu family, they will not take the initiative to attack at this time. In the end, they will directly offend the Wei family. I think in the entire Tang Dynasty, few people dare to confront the Wei family head-on...

It's a pity that the marquis actually beat to death all the servants who followed him all the way, otherwise it would be easier to find clues from all aspects.

Wei Bingyan asked people to deliver letters to Guan Hualang without stopping. Since there were people from Guan Zhuang in Lingshan City, it would be more convenient to conduct repeated investigations.

Guan Hualang's reply surprised Wei Bingyan. The prostitute who was with Prince Chu that night was not dead! Before the Marquis smashed the brothel, the woman had already fled. Now she was found by Guanzhuang's people and was in a safe place.

According to the kiln girl, the death of Prince Chu had nothing to do with her at all. As for why it had nothing to do with her, Guan Hualang did not explain it directly in the letter.

She wanted to meet such a prostitute in person! Wei Bingyan asked Bai Binghui to prepare some ink for her, and quickly wrote back to Guan Hualang.

It’s not that she cares too much about Prince Chu, she’s just worried... Prince Chu’s death is unusual and may even affect the Wei family.

After replying the letter, Wei Bingyan asked Aunt Yin to deliver the letter, while she appeared in Wei Bingru's room with Bai Binghui.

Wei Bingru has been staying at home these days. To outsiders, she seems to be grieving the sudden death of her fiancé. In fact, she is extremely happy and relieved about the death of Prince Chu.

Finally, I don’t have to marry into Jinyun City.

If Shen Rouruo could help her...marry into the Li family, then she would be happy to do anything.

Wei Bingru looked at the exquisite red wedding dress on the bed and couldn't help laughing.

Very good, what a coincidence!

"Second Miss, the young lady is here." Ping'er walked in and saw Wei Bingru's happy face. She hurriedly lowered her head and replied softly.

After hearing this, Wei Bingru immediately suppressed the smile on her face and asked in a cold voice, "What is she doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to comfort you, my sister!" As soon as Wei Bingru finished her words, the thin curtain moved, and Wei Bingyan walked in slowly. Her eyes fell on the exquisite bright red wedding dress behind Wei Bingru.

Wei Bingru sat still, looking at her coldly, her face suddenly becoming more sad, "Relief? That's nonsense. You came here to laugh at me, right? Laugh if you want to."

"Making fun of you?" Wei Bingyan sat down with a smile on her face, waving her hands to ask Ping'er and Bai Binghui to move away.

Ping'er looked at Wei Bingru hesitantly. Wei Bingru nodded slightly, and then she stepped forward and walked out.

"What on earth are you doing here?" Next to Wei Bingyan, Wei Bingru did not dare to show any happiness. Now the Wei family has not returned the heavy betrothal gift to the Chu family, and the matter has not really ended. She cannot show off, for fear of being plotted against by Wei Bingyan again.

"Second sister, are you in a good mood?" Wei Bingyan asked with a smile, "Didn't you always want to not marry into Jinyun City? Now it's just what you wish for."

Wei Bingru stood up suddenly, with a sad face and tears in her eyes, "You...how can you say that? I just lost my fiancé, and I am heartbroken. How can you say such a thing?"

"Second sister looks like she is very sad. People who don't know the inside story would think that you have a deep relationship with Prince Chu." Wei Bingyan's lips curved up, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes. Wei Bingru's reaction was too violent, so it seemed hypocritical.

"Even if Prince Chu and I don't have a deep relationship, he is still my fiancé. Shouldn't I feel sad for him when something like this happens suddenly?" Wei Bingru asked angrily with tears in her eyes.

"How did Prince Chu die? Didn't you hear other people's stories, second sister? How come you only feel sad and not angry?" Wei Bingyan asked with a smile.

"What does this have to do with you? Men like to have affairs with women. Why should I be angry?" Wei Bingru said.

Wei Bingyan smiled, "He really has a magnanimous heart. I'm afraid that Prince Chu's death may not be as it seems. Who knows..."

"Maybe what?" Wei Bingru's expression changed slightly, and she asked Wei Bingyan coldly.

"Why are you so nervous? Do you also know that Prince Chu's death was unusual?" Wei Bingyan asked with a smile.

Wei Bingru shouted, "How can I know if there is anything wrong with his death? Don't talk nonsense. If there is indeed a problem, the Chu family will not let go of the person who slaughtered Prince Chu."

"How do you know that Prince Chu was slaughtered?" Wei Bingyan asked calmly. Wei Bingru's reaction was as expected. She had expected that Prince Chu might die. Wei Bingru also knew the inside story a long time ago.

"It's because you said that his death was unusual that I made such a guess. If you don't have anything else important to do, please leave." Wei Bingru's fingers were a little cold. She knew that she couldn't face the death of Prince Chu with complete calmness. She was afraid that Wei Bingyan would see through her, so she could only order her to leave with a cold face.

Wei Bingyan, however, did not give up completely and calmly asked a few more questions, but Wei Bingru did not say a word.

After asking further, Wei Bingyan could not get any more information, so she had to leave. It seemed that she still needed to start the investigation from Lingshan City...
