Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream
Chapter 20 Father Arrives
Wei Zhong is here?
After hearing Xing'er's words, Xiao Bingyan's lively mood became a little gloomy, but her face did not show it. She just frowned and asked, "Where is the Marquis?"
"He has walked straight in. The madam went out to greet him and sent someone to tell the girl." Xing'er replied.
Xiao Bingyan's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, "Let's go and welcome the Marquis."
Xiao Bingyan didn't look happy at all as the maids and servants could hardly hide their joy on their faces. She just walked out of her courtyard calmly and walked towards the main house.
Before I even stepped out of the inner courtyard, I saw a tall and handsome figure walking towards me, surrounded by everyone.
Her father had just turned thirty, which was the ideal age for a good man. In addition, he had a noble family background, was handsome, and had a graceful demeanor. A man like that...
Even though he has settled down and got married, he still attracts a lot of girls' attention.
Xiao Bingyan stopped walking, slightly lowered her thin eyelashes to cover the cold look in her eyes, and saluted Wei Zhong respectfully, "Father."
Wei Zhong and Xiao were talking, and he had already walked over to Bingyan. When he saw his daughter, a smile spread across his face, "Get up, Bingyan."
When she raised her head again, Xiao Bingyan's face had fully recovered. She looked at her father with respect, wearing a very gentle, peaceful and calm smile.
"Sister!" A very immature voice suddenly came from behind Wei Zhong.
Next, a boy of about seven to eight years old ran out from among the maids and slaves, and smiled timidly at Xiao Bingyan.
Xiao Bingyan was stunned, staring at the charming boy for a while, and then she realized who he was. She raised her lips to a nice angle, and her eyes curved slightly, "Ari!"
"This kid kept asking on the way whether he could see his sister soon." Wei Zhong smiled and looked down at Wei Longrui. "Okay, now that you see your sister, are you happy?"
Wei Longrui closed his eyes and smiled, revealing two shallow dimples.
"Come here, Arei." Xiao Bingyan's bulging throat was a little nervous.
A Rui is the son of Aunt Qiu. Aunt Qiu was originally Xiao's personal maid, and was later betrothed to Wei Zhong as a concubine. After giving birth to A Rui, she was promoted to concubine.
Since she was a maid under the control of Xiao, she was naturally more relaxed and very loyal to Xiao. She often brought A Rui to the main room to greet Xiao respectfully.
I don’t know why, but A Rui has always liked sticking to Xiao Bingyan since he was a child. Sometimes people even feel like they are real siblings.
Xiao Bingyan never hated Aunt Qiu and A Rui deeply. When she lost everything in her previous life, they still treated her well. However, they all died in her revenge in the end.
She watched them being beheaded. At that time, A Rui had just married and his wife was pregnant with his child...
"Sister, I'm here to take you home. I've brought you a lot of delicious food." Arei rushed towards Xiao Bingyan, opened his hand and grabbed her arm, and called out in childish words.
Xiao Bingyan smiled slightly, "Arui, do you miss your sister?"
"Miss, the young master misses you every day. If he hadn't been clamoring to see you in front of the old man, the old man would not have been willing to bring us here together." Aunt Qiu stood upright behind Xiao and said to Xiao Bingyan with a smile.
"Old man, you look exhausted. You should go back to your room and rest first. I'll let Bingyan talk to you later." Xiao said softly to Wei Zhong with a kind smile on her face.
Wei Zhong nodded with a smile, took two steps forward, and instructed, "Mr. Tang's carriage will arrive soon. Tell the servants to arrange a specific address for him in the outer courtyard, and then send two maids to serve him."
Xiao was surprised, "Mr. Tang is here too?"
"Uh, I have something urgent to do." Wei Zhong didn't argue much, just said it in passing.
Mr. Tang is the prince's military advisor. There is no need to ask why he appeared in Jinyun City with Wei Zhong. Basically, he wanted to win over someone for the prince's favor, or what he did was not something that weak women like them could ask.
Xiao had never asked much about Wei Zhong's affairs outside. She knew that her husband's return to Jinyun City was not specifically for accompanying her, which made her feel a little helpless.
However, this helpless mood was quickly ignored by her, "Grandpa, relax a hundred and twenty, I will make the arrangements."
Wei Zhong was very confident in Xiao's work. He nodded and strode up to the room with his head held high.
"Take A Rui to have some rest as well. If you are hungry, go to the kitchen and order some noodles. As for greetings, you can do so after you have rested." Xiao turned around and said to Aunt Qiu.
Aunt Qiu bowed humbly, "Yes, ma'am."
"Mother, I want to be with my sister." Wei Longrui opened his eyes wide and looked at Xiao, begging softly.
Xiao touched Wei Longrui's little head and said softly, "You have been sitting in the carriage for quite a while. Aren't you tired? Go back and rest first. Then you can accompany your sister every day."
Xiao Bingyan really likes such a brother. Seeing that he still likes to stick to her as much as she remembered, she was very upset and couldn't help but open her mouth, "Mom, why don't you let A Rui come to my place first."
Aunt Qiu said hurriedly: "How can that be good? That will trouble you, young lady."
Wei Longrui jumped up happily, "Okay, sister, stay with me."
"It's just this one day. It's not really a big deal." Xiao Bingyan said calmly.
Human emotions have always been very strange, and she didn't hate Aunt Qiu.
In her previous life, after her mother passed away, Aunt Qiu really cried for several days and her attitude towards her never changed, so Shen Rouruo looked at her coldly.
But even so, she still didn't really accept a woman who shared the same husband with her mother...
Basically, because my father entered Aunt Qiu's room at that time, and my mother quietly wiped her tears at night, she had a resolute and disgusted attitude towards all the aunts.
Especially to Aunt Lian, the biological mother of Shen Rouruo and Wei Bingru.
Aunt Qiu responded in a submissive manner.
Xiao asked Xiao Bingyan to take Wei Longrui back first, and she followed Wei Zhong's brisk steps and went to the main room together.
Holding Wei Longrui's hand, Xiao Bingyan looked at Wei Zhong's smaller and smaller figure. The warm smile in her eyes became fainter and fainter. No one could see how hard she tried to suppress the burning resentment in her heart.
It is possible that before this, she had feelings for this gentle father.
However, now, it was difficult for her to endure the deep hatred and not to be difficult with him.
"Sister?" Wei Longrui pulled Xiao Bingyan's hand, "Are you unhappy?"
"No, I was just thinking about something." Xiao Bingyan recovered and looked down at her brother, "Do you have something to say to your sister?"
Wei Longrui glanced at the maid behind him, licked his lips and said nothing.
After returning to the house, Xiao Bingyan asked Anxiang to go to the kitchen to get some desserts, and also asked Wei Longrui's maid to go downstairs to rest. She then tapped his little head and said, "You are getting more and more clever."
"Sister, I heard from others that father is going to arrange a marriage for you." Wei Longrui told Xiao Bingyan in a soft voice when he saw that there was no one else in the room.
Xiao Bingyan raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "When did you say these words? Could it be that you secretly eavesdropped on your father's conversation?"
"No." Wei Longrui curled his lips hastily, "I didn't secretly eavesdrop on my father's words."
"How did you know that? You told your sister solemnly, huh?" Xiao Bingyan was actually confident. This scene had appeared in her mind before, but at that time she was embarrassed and angry, and felt that she was regarded as a small chess piece by her father. However, she never thought about where Arui heard these words from.
Wei Longrui hesitated whether he should tell it or not, but finally he nodded and agreed not to tell it.
Xiao Bingyan deliberately frowned, "Arui is not well behaved. He doesn't even tell his sister anything."
"I'm telling you, sister, don't be angry." Wei Longrui hurriedly grabbed Xiao Bingyan's hand, and said in frustration and pain: "My second sister told me that you would definitely not be happy, and she felt very sorry for my sister. She also asked me not to tell you, but..."
"But A Rui doesn't want his sister to be unhappy, right?" Xiao Bingyan touched his face and asked with a smile, but deep in her heart she snorted expressionlessly. As expected, it was Wei Bingru! What did she want to use A Rui for?
Wei Longrui nodded heavily, "Sister, go and tell father not to get engaged, and let the second sister go. She is willing to take your place anyway."
"Did she also say these words?" Xiao Bingyan asked curiously.
"No..." Wei Longrui curled his lips weakly, "I heard my second sister and Aunt Lian say so."
Wei Bingyan was secretly sullen in her heart, "Sister has her own thoughts on this matter, please don't mention it again, understand?"
“Uh.” Wei Longrui’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw that Wei Bingyan was not angry.
Anxiang came in with dessert. Xiao Bingyan stopped asking questions and watched A Rui eating the dessert with big mouthfuls. Deep down, she was trying to figure out what Wei Bingru meant.
