Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

The day of accumulating virtue was successfully completed.

Through these days of socializing, the mother and daughter of the Wei family gradually integrated into Mrs. Jin Yuncheng's circle. With the help of others who were willing to make friends, the number of guests coming to the Wei family gradually increased.

Among them, the wives of the Marquis's Mansion and Mrs. Liu came the most frequently. However, Mrs. Chu came to find Xiao in order to borrow the power of the Wei family in the capital, while Mrs. Liu got along well with Xiao. After hearing from others that Mrs. Li was examining and treating Xiao, she came to visit from time to time.

Xie Shujing and Chu Xuying were also frequent customers. The two seemed to be competing with each other, and both hoped that Wei Bingyan could stand on their side.

Indeed, Xie Shujing hopes that Xiao Bingyan can become her backstage supporter.

Xiao Bingyan treated these two distinguished guests equally and never showed that she got along better with any one of them.

Although what she wanted to do was to leave them outside, she found out the reason several times and couldn't keep reusing them. Overall, as it was approaching January, she became very impatient with them.

Because the eldest son of this marquis's mansion, Chu Xuying's brother, had directly stopped Li Yuyan on the city wall last time and had a fight with Li Yuyan, the news was deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives.

Xie Shujing seemed to have found Chu Xuying's sore spot and would make some sarcastic remarks to her every time they were together.

Chu Xuying had been hoping to get Li Yuyan's special attention, but after her brother's involvement, she was very sure that Li Yuyan did not have a good impression of their Chu family. She was already feeling bad, and Xie Shujing was taking advantage of her again and again. How could she not be resentful?

Xie Shujing dared to laugh at Chu Xuying like that because she thought Xiao Bingyan would treat her differently because she had given her a maid in the past.

Chu Xuying tolerated everything because she wanted to see how much Xiao Bingyan favored and protected Xie Shujing.

How could Xiao Bingyan not see what they were thinking?

But, I just don't care.

All her energy every day was on Xiao's health. Seeing that Xiao's spirit was getting better and better over time, her mood naturally became better and better. Deep in her heart, she also had a wild idea, but she knew it was not easy to think and do, so she could not open her mouth.

There was another thing that she had not thought through before, but she also thought through it thoroughly during this period.

Why did Li Yuyan suddenly say those words to her?

Given Li Yuyan's character, she would not easily say such words unless there was no smoke without fire. She asked herself honestly that she had never done anything in Jinyun City that would cause misunderstanding.

In addition to approaching Mrs. Li on her own initiative, her purpose was very obvious, which was to examine and treat her mother. Where did Li Yuyan's suspicion of her come from?

If she was not mistaken, there was only one reason, and that was Wei Zhong's purpose of going to Jinyun City.

In his previous life, after Li Yuyan won the first place in the imperial examination and was deeply loved by the emperor, Wei Zhong, as the prince's direct descendant, had always wanted to recruit him as the prince's disciple.

But at that time, Li Yuyan followed no faction and seemed like a lone minister. He also seemed to have secret dealings with the Fourth Prince. No one thought that he would eventually help the Sixth Prince ascend to the throne.

Wei Zhong came to Jinyun City not for his mother, but to do work for the prince!

Li Yuyan had heard some rumors, so she said those words that day.

"Bingyan, Bingyan?" Mrs. Xiao, who was talking to Mrs. Li, saw her daughter's frightened face and wondered what she was thinking about. She couldn't help but call her softly, "What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Bingyan recovered from her repeated pondering and smiled at Xiao with a blushing face, "Nothing, I was just wondering when my father would arrive in Jinyun City."

Now the day when Wei Zhong arrives is getting closer and closer.

Xiao smiled speechlessly, "It should be soon, in one or two days."

Mrs. Li took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "So it's Lord Wei who is coming over. No wonder my sister has been in such a good mood these days. The sky is clear and bright, and she even has more brilliant smiles."

"Don't make fun of me. I just feel much better than before, so my mood has improved as well." Xiao glared at Mrs. Li and spoke in a bad tone.

Xiao Bingyan survived a near-death experience and never really wanted to learn anything.

The so-called music, chess, calligraphy and painting were all learned for the sake of reputation, and were not what she really liked at all.

These days, she watched Mrs. Li giving acupuncture to her mother, and she felt the magic of that giant needle, and she also admired Mrs. Li for being a woman with such ability.

If she had also learned acupuncture...

"If Mrs. Li's medical skills are as good as the rumors say, it's like bringing the dead back to life. At that time, Doctor Zhuang said that my mother's disease could not be cured, but you made my mother better with just a few silver needles. It's really amazing." Xiao Bingyan immediately put away the thoughts in her mind.

Not to mention that Wei Zhong would not let her learn medical skills, even Mrs. Li might not be willing to teach her without reservation.

Mrs. Li smiled brightly and asked Xiao Bingyan teasingly, "You've made me sound like a great immortal. Why don't you learn from me? You'll be very powerful in the future, too."

Xiao Bingyan's eyes suddenly shone with a very bright light, and she looked at Mrs. Li expectantly, "Mrs. Li means... are you willing to teach me acupuncture?"

Xiao smiled and said, "You believed it. How can a pampered woman like you want to learn acupuncture?"

"Why can't I learn? Mother, I'm not afraid of hard work." Xiao Bingyan listened to what Xiao said and immediately objected unwillingly. She lived a life of luxury, but that didn't mean she couldn't endure hardship.

No one can compare to the suffering she has endured.

Xiao Bingyan's nervous expression surprised both Mrs. Li and Xiao. Xiao looked at her strangely, "Do you really want to learn this?"

Mrs. Li looked at her with a frown, as if she was thinking about something.

"Yes!" Xiao Bingyan nodded decisively, her eyes bright and resolute, her voice filled with incomparable determination, "Mom, I want to learn acupuncture therapy, I want to learn medical skills."

"Why?" Mrs. Li asked Xiao before she opened her mouth.

Xiao Bingyan pouted lightly, "I don't know, I just really want to learn. When you were giving acupuncture to your mother, I felt that I really wanted to learn. I can never forget your actions in my heart. I want to read the precious medical classics and study hard, but there are not many acupuncture therapies directly mentioned in the medical classics...

I thought, if I learn acupuncture and return to the capital, I won’t have to worry about anything. Even if my mother’s old illness relapses, I won’t have to be frightened by others saying that I’m powerless...”

"So it's a show of filial piety." Mrs. Li laughed.

"It's not just that!" Xiao Bingyan shouted, "This is one of the reasons, there are others..."

Mrs. Li looked at her with a smile, waiting for Xiao Bingyan to continue.

How to say it?

She said that in her previous life, she had tortured many innocent people to death, so she always felt that if she didn't do something to make up for it in this life, she was afraid that fate would still not let her go?

Should she tell him that she wanted to learn medical skills to save people from dire straits, so that God would be more generous and tolerant to her in this life?

You can’t say any of that!

"I also want to be a heroine like Mrs. Li!" Xiao Bingyan bowed her head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head and chest and spoke. This was the only reason she could come up with.

Mrs. Li laughed heartily, while Mrs. Xiao sighed, "Even if you want to do it, your father will never allow it."

Xiao Bingyan frowned and said, "Why do I need father's permission? It's me who wants to learn, not him." She looked directly at Mrs. Li, "Mrs. Li, are you willing to accept me as your disciple?"

"Have you really thought it through? I want to take in a disciple. If the acupuncture therapy can be passed down from generation to generation, I will be happy. However, the learning process is not easy." Mrs. Li said.

She was not like some people in ancient times who hoarded their abilities for fear that others would learn them. Little did they know that some knowledge would be more valuable if it was passed on.

Mrs. Li turned around and said to Xiao: "Sister, if you are willing to nod and agree, I will accept a disciple like you as my disciple."

She didn't just want to take Xiao Bingyan in as her disciple casually. She had noticed over the past few days that the little girl really wanted to learn acupuncture. Every time she gave acupuncture to Xiao, Xiao Bingyan would watch from the side, her eyes full of puzzlement and curiosity.

If such a little girl had not been born into a noble family, she would have asked long ago if she could become her disciple.

Xiao wanted to firmly object, but seeing the pleading in her daughter's eyes, her heart softened and she sighed quietly, "As long as she doesn't encounter any danger, that's all."

After hearing this, Xiao Bingyan's smile was as brilliant as the beautiful spring flowers when all things sprout.
