Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

As the days passed quickly, Xiao had been feeling increasingly slow in her movements. Although this was her second child, she felt even more nervous than when she gave birth to Bingyan. After all, she was no longer young.

Wei Bingyan would ask the midwife to come every day to carefully check the position and body of the fetus for Xiao.

The three midwives in the family were all selected by Xiao herself. They had moved in in the first few days. During the past few days, she had been selecting wet nurses and had already picked two. All she had to do was choose one from them.

Since Xiao was about to give birth, Wei Bingru's marriage was not so eye-catching. However, that did not mean that there were no servants discussing this matter non-stop. Everyone was very curious about what fate this poor second young lady would face.

It is no longer possible to marry the Marquis's son again, and no clear news has been received from the Chu family.

Wei Bingyan had not looked for Wei Bingru either. She knew very well that no matter how patiently she tried to probe, Wei Bingru would not reveal even a single detail about the cause of Prince Chu's death. She naturally did not want to seek justice for Prince Chu, but just wanted to know who was helping Wei Bingru behind the scenes and what this person's purpose was.

Could it be Shen Rouruo? But Shen Rouruo was only a concubine, so how could she kill such a powerful prince?

I wonder if the prostitute who is already on her way to the capital can give her a result.

However, before the truth came to light, someone from the Chu family arrived.

The one who came was the Duke of Chu.

As he had just lost his only legitimate child, Lord Chu did not look very well. His eyes were full of bloodshot, he was wearing dark clothes, and he was still feeling very sad.

Wei Zhong and Xiao met him in person. The Prince of Chu was already considered half his son-in-law. Faced with such tragic news, the Wei couple naturally would not be in a good mood. However, being with Marquis Chu, they could only express their condolences.

Lord Chu showed up at the Wei family, feeling grief over the loss of his son. Naturally, he didn't just want to hear a condolence message.

At that time, he allowed his only legitimate child to marry the concubine's daughter of the Wei family, just for the sake of greater benefits in the future. However, ever since his son's accident, the Duke of Chu felt depressed and no longer had the grand ambitions that Wei Zhong had inspired him to have.

"...What?" After hearing the purpose of the Marquis of Chu, Wei Zhong suddenly stood up. The expression on his face was shocked and beyond imagination. He almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.

The Duke of Chu had a gloomy face and spoke in a cold and arrogant tone, "Since your daughter has gone through the six rituals with me, she is the daughter-in-law of our Chu family. Even if she dies, she will be a ghost of our Chu family!"

Xiao's heart trembled, and she almost wanted to nod and agree immediately. As soon as this thought came to her mind, she felt a little ashamed for her own little thoughts. She was so hard-hearted that she let a thirteen-year-old girl become a widow. It was a bit cruel to Wei Bingru.

"This... How is this possible? Xiaoru hasn't even reached marriage age yet, but they want her to be a widow..." Wei Zhong's face darkened. He felt that the Lord of Chu was going too far. His daughter hadn't even married yet, so why was he planning to make his son a widow?

The Marquis of Chu said, "Do you think your daughter can be betrothed to anyone else? My son died for her, so she must be a widow for my son. Of course, our Chu family will not let her feel wronged or suffer. We will adopt a son from our branch to her, so that she can always have something to rely on. Isn't that enough?"

"My Lord, your words are too funny. Your son is obviously indulged in sensual pleasures. If he hadn't gone to a brothel, how could such a thing have happened? It is impossible for my daughter to be a widow for such a man!" Wei Zhong refused coldly and firmly.

To let Wei Bingru be betrothed to the deceased prince of the Chu family was not just a matter of frustration and pain for her, it was a slap in the face.

If Prince Chu was a handsome man with a good character, Wei Bingru could gain a good reputation by becoming a widow for him. But the problem was that Prince Chu died in a brothel. He died in the bed of a prostitute on the way to welcome his bride. This was a huge humiliation for Wei Bingru and the Wei family!

There was a hint of embarrassment in the eyes of the Duke of Chu. He knew that his son was wrong, but as a father, he was self-centered and he wanted to leave a descendant for his son.

"I have already reported this matter to His Majesty, and you will make the decision," said Li Hou.

Xiao said hurriedly, "How can we disturb His Majesty, Lord Hou? We can discuss it later."

"After your daughter gets married, I will ask His Majesty to grant her a chastity arch. This will bring supreme glory to our two families." said the Marquis of Chu.

Once this chastity arch is erected, Wei Bingru will have to be a widow even if she doesn't want to!

"Lord Marquis..." In her heart, Xiao really hoped that Wei Zhong would nod and agree, but she never showed it on her face, and still wanted to persuade Marquis Chu to withdraw such a decision.

Marquis Chu looked at the couple and said, "I have to go to the palace again, so I won't talk to you any more. Leave immediately!"

Wei Zhong's face was sinister and creepy. He didn't want Wei Bingru to become a widow to a man like the Prince of Chu, but he couldn't find a reason. Over the past hundred years, because people's hearts and customs have been open, men and women get along much more freely than before. Even divorced women can remarry. Almost no woman is willing to be suppressed by a chastity arch for a lifetime and keep her chastity for a lifetime.

Very rarely... but it does not mean that there are no cases, and the Marquis of Chu has already attached himself to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince has been performing very well recently, and His Majesty seems to be very satisfied with his transformation. Perhaps the Crown Prince will speak for the Marquis of Chu and ask His Majesty to decree a memorial arch for chastity and loyalty to be bestowed on Wei Bingru.

"Grandpa, what should we do? If the Second Miss knew about this, she would naturally be unhappy." Xiao looked directly at Wei Zhong, trying to figure out what he was thinking deep down.

"The Duke of Chu has already requested permission. Now we can only hope that His Majesty will not agree." Wei Zhong said.

Xiao's eyes narrowed, "I hope so."

The news that Marquis Chu came to the Wei family spread quickly. Wei Bingyan felt that he would not come just to interfere in the marriage of Prince Chu and Wei Bingru, so after finding out that he had left, she went to the inner room of the upper house and learned from Xiao the reason why Marquis Chu came.

With Xiao's sincerity, the maid that Wei Bingru sent to get information also learned about Lord Chu's purpose.

At this time, Wei Bingru, who was still waiting for the maid's reply in the room, was distracted and kept wondering what Lord Chu would say and whether he would take back the heavy betrothal gifts. If so, she would be completely liberated and no longer have to worry.

She wanted to marry Li Yunze... Now that she had finally got the chance after all the hard work, she didn't want to let it go easily.

I hope that what I wish for can really come true!

"Second Miss, Second...Second Miss!" Before I saw the maid Ping'er, I could already hear her anxious voice.

Wei Bingru hurriedly drew up the thin curtain and looked at Ping'er nervously, "How is it? Did Lord Chu leave?"

Ping'er gasped for air with a big mouth. When she saw Wei Bingru's still youthful face, she started to cry. Deep down in her heart, she felt extremely sorry for this second young lady. "Miss, the Lord Chu...he's gone, but he...he wants you to complete the wedding ceremony and become a widow for this Prince Chu!"

"What...what?" Wei Bingru's face turned pale. Ping'er's words were like thunderclaps from a clear sky, which made all the blood in her body gather. Her heart fell into the bottomless abyss.

"Miss, what should we do? What should we do? I heard from others that Marquis Chu is going to ask His Majesty for permission to grant you a memorial archway..." Ping'er asked with tears in her eyes.

Wei Bingru staggered back, almost falling to the ground. She held on to the thin curtain tightly to support her body, which was swaying in the wind and rain. "You want me to be a widow to that dead man?"

"Miss..." Ping'er felt even more bitter when she saw Wei Bingru like this.

"Haha!" Wei Bingru laughed wildly and violently, tears trickling out of her eyes. "I haven't even reached the age of marriage yet...but I have to be a widow? Why? Why?"

Ping'er held Wei Bingru's arm calmly, "Miss, why don't you go and ask the old man and the mistress for help? They will definitely make the decision for you."

"If they really want to make the decision for me, why do I need to beg them?" Wei Bingru's voice was listless and her eyes were full of helplessness.

"No, no, miss, you won't...no." Ping'er said with tears.

Wei Bingru grabbed Ping'er's arm tightly, "Xiao Shi treats me as a thorn in her flesh. She will definitely take this opportunity to drive me out of the Wei family. Maybe it's because of her that Lord Chu has such an idea!"

"That's right, it must be the mother and daughter, it must be them!" Wei Bingru shouted wildly and violently in helplessness, "I'm going to find Xiao, I'm going to find her! She wants me dead, I won't let her do what she wants!"

"Second Miss!" Feeling the strength in her arm loosen, Ping'er saw Wei Bingru's figure disappear in front of the door without a trace. She screamed and hurried forward.

In the main house, Wei Bingyan was strolling in the courtyard holding Xiao's hand. The closer it was to the day of delivery, the more Xiao walked around. This was suggested by Mrs. Li.

"Mom, you have to pay special attention these two days. The midwife said that the baby will be born in these two days." Wei Bingyan happily touched Xiao's tender belly, looking forward to the arrival of a younger brother or sister.

Xiao smiled brightly, "You talk like this every day, don't you get tired of it?"

Wei Bingyan laughed, "I just can't help but want to talk about it."

The mother and daughter laughed as they talked, and when they were about to step out of the gate and rush to the small garden, they saw Wei Bingru's figure appear in their sight.

"Mother!" Wei Bingyan's eyes narrowed slightly. She noticed that Wei Bingru's face looked abnormal at this time, so she stopped Xiao behind her.

Xiao said softly, "I guess he heard about the incident involving Lord Chu from others."

"Xiao, you want me to live with a dead person all my life? I tell you, it's impossible. Even if I am willing to die, you are such a vicious woman, and you treat your daughter like that. You will not have a good end!" Wei Bingru had already lost her rationality. When she saw Xiao's mother and daughter, her eyes were burned red by the raging rage. She screamed and cursed loudly.

"Wei Bingru, you've lost your mind!" Wei Bingyan looked at her coldly, "Do you know who you are talking to?"

"You want to ruin my life, but I won't agree with you, absolutely not!" Wei Bingru shouted. Due to running all the way, her fine hair was already a little messy and she looked extremely disheveled.

"Xiao He, Xia Yuezhu, stop her directly!" Wei Bingyan was afraid that she would hurt Xiao, so she hurriedly ordered the maid nearby to stop Wei Bingru who had rushed to her side.

Wei Bingru stared at Xiao's tender belly and burst into tears. She used all her strength to shake off Xia Yuezhu and Xiaohe's hands and rushed towards Xiao as if she was risking her life.

"Mom, be careful!" Wei Bingyan stood in front of Xiao and blocked Wei Bingru's force.

Xiao was still surprised. When she stepped back, her brisk steps became unsteady and she fell to the ground.

"Mother!"

"Mrs!"
