Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream
Chapter 184 Persuasion
The prince had gone through so much trouble to regain the trust of His Majesty, but who could have known that he would be slandered this time and turned into the real culprit behind the massacre of Prince Chu. The more he held back his anger, the more unhappy he became. It was a pity that he could not find out who slandered him, otherwise he would definitely make that person suffer the consequences.
In the end, the truth came out. Wei Zhong finally believed that the prince was not a future emperor worthy of his all. Thinking of the hard work he had put in over the years, he felt that it was useless, so he hid at home and did not go out.
Wei Bingyan saw it all, but she still couldn't really relax in her heart. Wei Zhong was a man with deep and terrible ambitions, and even though he was helpless towards the Crown Prince now, it was inevitable that one day he would not rely on the Fourth Prince, or rely on the Crown Prince again.
He has to go to Baiyue first.
"Mom, does Asheng look like me?" Wei Bingyan hugged Asheng, who was already two months old, and kissed him twice, then asked Xiao, who was looking at the account book, with a smile.
Xiao raised her head and looked at the siblings, then said with a smile, "You are just like a girl."
Wei Bingyan pinched Ah Sheng's cute chubby little face, causing him to laugh.
It was really cute to look at. Wei Bingyan kissed him twice more.
"Mom, it seems like dad hasn't been out for a long time." Wei Bingyan pinched Ah Sheng's soft little hand. This little guy really loves to laugh and laughs all day long.
"The incident with Prince Chu was a big blow to him. It's normal for him to be negative for a few days." Xiao said.
"Actually, this is not a bad thing for my father," said Wei Bingyan.
Xiao nodded, "That's true, but your father won't trust the prince anymore."
"But... there is also the Fourth Prince. No matter whether he is the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince, it is not good to get close to them. Our Ah Sheng will definitely be more alert and alert in the future. Even without them, we can still realize our ambitions, don't you think? Ah Sheng." Wei Bingyan bit Ah Sheng's little duck feet lightly and said with a smile.
Xiao was stunned and looked at Wei Bingyan carefully, "Bingyan, do you have something to tell me?"
No one knows a daughter better than her mother! When Wei Bingyan suddenly mentioned the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, Xiao immediately knew that Wei Bingyan definitely didn't want to talk about those things.
Wei Bingyan looked at Ah Sheng's clear and bright eyes and said softly, "Mother, why don't you persuade father to leave the capital? It's too dangerous to stay here."
Xiao's face hardened, "What do you mean?"
"You know father's character best. Do you think that after this incident, father will really give up on having any contact with the crown prince? Even if it's not the crown prince, it could be the fourth prince? Mother, we don't know what the future will be like. We don't know what will happen to the crown prince and the fourth prince. Why take the risk?" Wei Bingyan said.
"Is this what the old master meant?" Xiao remained silent for a long while before asking softly.
Wei Bingyan nodded slightly.
Xiao came over, took Ah Sheng from Wei Bingyan's arms, and asked with a serious expression, "What did the old master say?"
"Baiyue is a treasure land, mother, why don't we go to Baiyue." Wei Bingyan said with a smile.
"Let me think about it." Xiao lowered her eyes and looked at A Sheng, thinking seriously about Wei Bingyan's words. After giving birth to A Sheng, her thoughts changed a lot. She didn't care what Wei Zhong did outside before, but now she has to worry. A Sheng is still so young, she has to prepare for him.
Wei Bingyan did not open her mouth to persuade Xiao, she knew very well that Xiao would definitely agree to her suggestion in the end.
"Bingyan, if your father can really ask for permission to go to Baiyue, he will be away for many years. What will happen to your marriage?" Xiao still had something to deal with in her mind, so how could she feel at ease leaving the capital?
What does this have to do with her marriage? Wei Bingyan's face flushed slightly, "Mother, this is a small problem. Even if we don't get married, my daughter is happy."
"That won't do. Ask your third senior brother to come over tomorrow. I want to ask him what he thinks." Xiao said without any resistance.
Wei Bingyan was still thinking about persuading her not to focus her thoughts on her, but Xiao insisted on meeting Li Yuyan.
When leaving the main room, Wei Bingyan suddenly thought, why did her mother think so firmly that she would be betrothed to Li Yuyan? Could it be that her mother already knew about their...
How could Xiao not see clearly what her daughter was thinking? If she had not already set her eyes on a son-in-law like Li Yuyan, how could she accept Wei Bingyan being with Li Yuyan again and again?
It was dark, and Wei Zhong walked into the house with a lonely look on his face. His dull eyes brightened up when he saw Ah Sheng. His mood was finally not so depressed anymore, and he hugged his son and kissed him a few times.
After he had played enough with Ah Sheng, Xiao asked the wet nurse to go in and take the baby downstairs to breastfeed, while she helped him undress and wash, and found an opportunity to tell him what Wei Bingyan had suggested today.
"... It's not a good idea for the old man to stay at home these days. No one can see the situation clearly now. To put it bluntly, if His Majesty really wants to protect the prince, how could he kill the military advisor based on the guard's one-sided words? Old man, you are His Majesty's subordinate, can't you see it clearly?"
"It's rare to have such an opportunity now, why don't we go to Baiyue? I've heard from others that the mountains and rivers of Baiyue are good for people, so it would be perfect for us to take Ah Sheng with us."
Wei Zhong was eager to take action, but he still felt something was wrong. "How do you know about Baiyue?"
Xiao smiled and said, "Ever since I came out of confinement, someone has come to visit me every day. I've heard a little bit here and there, so naturally I know something."
"Well, actually, I have the same idea. I'm afraid you don't want to go to Baiyue." Wei Zhong nodded without any doubt.
Xiao was secretly delighted, "Why don't you go and discuss it with the old master tomorrow?"
"Well, it's boring to stay here anyway, so I might as well go to Baiyue..." Wei Zhong was a little pessimistic. He was helpless towards the prince. He felt that all his hard work in the past few years had been wasted. Deep down, he had long wanted to leave the capital to avoid being restless.
Xiao didn't expect that he could be persuaded so easily, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The next day, Wei Zhong went to see the old man to discuss whether he should ask for permission to go to Baiyue.
From the time Wei Zhong entered the court as an official to now, this was the first time he discussed his future with the old man. If it weren't for the fact that the prince's matter this time made him helpless and made him realize that all his efforts in the past few years were in vain and that he had entrusted his loyalty to the wrong person, he no longer had the courage to be sure that his decision was correct.
This time, Old Master Wei listened to Wei Zhong's story patiently, but did not express his opinion for a long time. He was confident that Wei Zhong's idea of going to Baiyue was probably driven by Bingyan's secret efforts. He originally thought that Bingyan would use more drastic methods to prevent her son from even being an official.
"Baiyue is actually a good choice. You have been an official for many years, but apart from trying to please everyone and win over the prince, you have never done anything for the people. It would be a good thing for you to go to Baiyue and start over again." Old Master Wei stroked his prickly beard and narrowed his wise eyes slightly.
Wei Zhong was embarrassed when the old man said he had done nothing. "Baiyue is not as good as the capital... I am afraid that if I go there, I will end up with nothing."
"What do you think you have now?" Old Master Wei asked softly.
"Hmm..." Wei Zhong's face was frozen, as if he had gained nothing in many years.
"You have never been to Baiyue, so how do you know that it is not as good as the capital? If you really want to do things for the people, it will be the same no matter where you are. Baiyue's Yunduo Academy is very good. If you can really go to Baiyue, take Arui with you." said Old Master Wei.
Wei Zhong finally understood clearly just now. Even if he didn't want to go, the old man would let him go to Baiyue.
"Father, I understand. I will go to the palace now." Wei Zhong said.
The old man smiled gently.
At the same time, the person she wanted to meet also arrived at Xiao's place.
This was not the first time Li Yuyan came to the Li family, nor was it the first time she met Mrs. Wei, but this time she felt very nervous.
Since he was a child, Li Yuyan had never felt nervous. This was the first time he felt this strange feeling. He didn't know what Mrs. Wei would say to him. Based on his previous observations, he felt that Mrs. Wei should have a good impression of him, and there were even signs that she was trying to match him up with Bingyan...
Xiao met Li Yuyan in the Qingcha Room. Wei Bingyan had already been sent away by her to accompany A Sheng.
"Mrs. Wei." Li Yuyan clasped his fists and bowed very politely.
"Master Li, please sit down." Xiao looked at him with a smile. She hadn't seen Li Yuyan for at least half a year. She had a good impression of this man to begin with. Now that he seemed to have become more mature and steady, she couldn't help but admire him even more in her heart.
Seeing that Xiao was very kind to him, Li Yuyan felt less nervous. He sat down and a maid brought him tea immediately.
"Thank you, Young Master Li, for taking good care of Bingyan these days. You have helped us a lot." Although she had not asked Bingyan, it did not mean that she knew nothing. If it were not for Li Yuyan, Bingyan would not be able to do many things.
Li Yuyan said politely, "Mrs. Wei, your words are too harsh. This is my job."
"No one should do things for others for no reason. Do you really think I can't see your feelings for Bingyan?" Xiao said with a smile. Li Yuyan was a smart man. It would be more tiring to keep beating around the bush. It would be better to tell the truth.
No matter how thick-skinned Li Yuyan was, and no matter how mean he was to Bingyan, he still felt a little embarrassed when Xiao spoke out his thoughts to her face.
"Mrs. Wei, are you looking for me today because of Bingyan?" Li Yuyan's face turned slightly red when Xiao looked at him, and he quickly changed the subject.
Xiao smiled and said, "Master Li, have you never thought about what to do next?"
Li Yuyan smiled bitterly and said with concentration, "It's not that I don't want to propose to Lord Wei earlier, but... my father and Lord Wei have some misunderstandings, and I'm afraid he won't agree so easily."
This is true. Even if Wei Zhong no longer works for the prince, his hatred for Li Debing is not so easy to eliminate. Xiao frowned. She actually ignored the most important point intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing Xiao's embarrassed look, Li Yuyan said, "Mrs. Wei, please relax. I have a good plan."
Xiao's eyes lit up, "You mean?"
Li Yuyan smiled gently.
