Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Chapter 21 The Situation of the Wei Family in the Capital

She and Wei Bingru didn't get along, and they both knew it, but they just didn't show it.

Wei Longrui particularly likes to follow her closely. The entire Wei family knows it, and Wei Bingru naturally understands it as well.

Why did she say those words to Wei Longrui and even told him not to tell her?

The reason was very simple. Wei Bingru wanted to leak such information to her through Wei Longrui. As for the reason...

Xiao Bingyan concentrated on it and pondered it over and over again.

If his judgment was correct, this time Wei Zhong's plan for her marriage was not to get her engaged to Li Yunze, the prince of the Xianwang Mansion, but also to have someone else.

In her previous life, she heard about this matter from Wei Longrui, but she forgot to thoroughly investigate who leaked it to him. She also went straight to find her mother and was determined not to let her marriage be used as a pawn by Wei Zhong. After that, her mother didn't know what to do, and the matter was never followed up.

However, Wei Bingru seemed to be worried about her by using A Rui in this way, but given the incompatible relationship between them, Wei Bingyan obviously could not believe such words 100%. Perhaps after hearing those hypocritical words, she would think that Wei Bingru was deliberately trying to destroy her marriage, and she would definitely do the opposite.

This must be Wei Bingru's purpose... She thought that she would definitely ask A Rui where he heard these words from, and she also thought that A Rui would definitely tell her. Who knows that she forgot to ask in her previous life, so Wei Bingru's little plan fell through, and she asked in this life.

It’s such a pity. Wei Bingru didn’t get what she wanted in her previous life, so how could she fulfill her wish in this life?

Xiao Bingyan looked at Wei Longrui who was sleeping sweetly on the bed, with a faint smile on her lips as if she was thinking about something.

When it was time for dinner, Xiao Bingyan brought the awakened Wei Longrui to the main room to greet Wei Zhong respectfully.

In fact, she and Wei Zhong had not seen each other for only two or three months, but in Xiao Bingyan's opinion, the distance between them as father and daughter seemed to be isolated from the world. She and Wei Zhong had not spoken a word to each other for ten years.

"Father, Mother." Xiao Bingyan bowed respectfully calmly, her eyes glancing lightly across Xiao's happy face, her heart a little nervous.

Wei Longrui also bowed politely.

Aunt Qiu stood upright near Xiao, looking at her son with a smile. She was not Wei Zhong's favorite aunt, but she was the aunt that the lady trusted the most. She knew very well that as long as she and her son did not lose the lady's trust, their life in the Wei family would not be difficult.

The most precious thing was that A Rui could get close to the only legitimate daughter of the Wei family, which made her feel very relieved.

Wei Zhong looked at his eldest daughter with satisfaction, realizing that without his noticing, she had grown into a graceful young lady. Although her face still looked very immature, in two to three years, she would certainly not be inferior to her mother in appearance.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't already have a Crown Princess, a daughter like this might become the mother of a country in the future... What a pity!

"We are a family, so don't be too particular about small matters." Wei Zhong asked Xiao Bingyan to sit below Xiao. He glanced at the women with a smile, then said, "I came to Jinyun City this time because I learned from the letter full of family flavor that your health is getting better, so I wanted to come and see you. Secondly, I will be very busy outside these days for business. If there is anyone looking for me outside, if I am not at home, please let Mr. Tang go to meet them."

Mr. Tang is not the owner of the Wei family, so why should he replace the Wei family to welcome distinguished guests? However, Xiao Shi did not ask a question, but just nodded and agreed.

Xiao Bingyan laughed in her heart. The only thing that could allow Mr. Tang to meet her formally was such a small matter for the Crown Prince.

Wei Zhong also asked in detail about Xiao and Xiao Bingyan's life after arriving in Jinyun City, and was concerned about whether they had any dealings with other wealthy families in Jinyun.

Xiao said, "I'm not in good health, so I seldom go out to socialize. On the contrary, I got closer to Madam Chu and Madam Liu because of the Good Deeds Day a few days ago. Bingyan couldn't go out all day, as she also had to study needlework and calligraphy seriously."

Without mentioning Mrs. Li directly, Mrs. Xiao understood her husband's character and knew that he would not like a woman like Mrs. Li, and might even oppose their relationship.

Wei Zhong felt that women only needed to take care of their husbands and children at home, and that other things were not something women should touch.

Wei Zhong was very satisfied with Xiao's formal reply. After saying a few more words, he stood up and went to the outer courtyard. It was unknown what he was going to discuss with Mr. Tang.

The only people left in the room were Xiao's mother and daughter, Aunt Qiu and her son, and several maids standing beside them with their hands behind their backs.

"You guys go first." Xiao sent the maids away, raised her neck and looked at Aunt Qiu indifferently. She was not as gentle as she was when she was with Wei Zhong just now. There was a sharpness in her features. "Is everything okay at home?"

Aunt Qiu didn't dare to raise her eyelids, and replied in a clear tone, "Every housekeeper in the family was arranged by Madam, everything is in order, but... Aunt Lian wanted to assign people to the accounting office several times, but was stopped by Commander Zhang.

The reason why Aunt Lian has been gossiping around the old man many times is that she is worried that the people below are not clean when the wife is not around, and she wants to manage the family affairs for you..."

Speaking of this, Aunt Qiu looked at Xiao carefully. Seeing that she was calm and didn't seem to react at all, she felt a little nervous. "The old man asked Commander Zhang and Nanny Li to ask questions, and he didn't say anything more."

When Xiao left the Wei family in the capital, she left behind a few of her trusted confidants to help her manage the household. Small matters in the boudoir were decided by Nanny Li, and if she couldn't make a decision on big matters, she would go and ask the Second Madam.

During the years that she has been the head of the Wei family, she has already completely mastered all the relationships in the mansion. She can't replace anyone who wants to, nor can she assign personnel to anyone who wants.

"Mrs. Lian wants to help me manage the household?" Xiao's eyes revealed a cold mockery. "Over the years, her ambition has only grown."

Aunt Qiu hung her head and didn't dare to speak.

"What about others? Is there any situation?" Xiao asked softly.

"No, ever since the Madam went out, the other concubines in the family have rarely left the house. I know all that. It was Nanny Li who told me, and asked me to tell you clearly. Here is the letter from Nanny Li to Madam." Aunt Qiu hurriedly took out a letter sealed with wax from her arms.

Xiao then did not open it directly, but said to Aunt Qiu: "Thank you for your hard work. Your life must be difficult when I am not at home. You should take A Rui down first."

Aunt Qiu should be cowardly. Indeed, without the Xiao family to guard the family for a long time, even Aunt Lian was the most domineering. All the other concubines in the family were suppressed by her. If it weren't for Nanny Li's dedicated help, she might not be able to appear in Jinyun City with her son.

Wei Longrui didn't insist on staying with Xiao Bingyan, and obediently followed Aunt Qiu downstairs. Although he didn't quite understand what his mother and aunt were talking about, he knew that he couldn't lose his temper at this time.

After Aunt Qiu left, Xiao opened the letter written to her by Nanny Li.

After reading it, he couldn't hide his fury on his face. He slammed the letter on the table and angrily cursed, "Lian Xuexin is such a lowly creature!"
