Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

This time as the Governor of Baiyue, Li Yuyan did not make a big fuss like he did when he went to Xuanmu Mansion. He was very low-key and disguised himself as a businessman who was leisurely traveling with his relatives. On the way, some officials in power affected his journey in order to flatter him.

"I don't know how the war with Rongdi Kingdom is going. The Sixth Prince is still in the border area, and it seems that he will lead the army personally." Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan stood upright on the deck, feeling the slowly cool breeze with moisture, and couldn't help but speak with emotion.

"Huh? Where did you hear about the Sixth Prince?" Li Yuyan asked with a smile, brushing the fine hair on her cheek behind her ears.

Wei Bingyan said, "I heard about this a little bit before at Huguo Temple."

"You care so much about other men, aren't you afraid that I'll be unhappy?" Li Yuyan hugged her waist and asked with a frown.

"Can you?" Wei Bingyan pinched his face and asked with a frown.

He is fine, but as for the Sixth Prince... he is indeed a little annoyed. He has not forgotten that this prince also once wanted to marry his junior sister.

However, this did not affect his admiration for the Sixth Prince's character. A gentleman would pursue a beautiful lady. It was only natural. "If the Sixth Prince can defeat Rongdi this time, it will bring him many benefits."

The Sixth Prince now needs the power of the military, and His Majesty seems to want him to make military achievements.

"He knows clearly that Mingyue is not dead. Will it make things difficult for Guan Hualang later?" Wei Bingyan asked worriedly.

"He won't." Li Yuyan spoke with concentration. Since he finally decided to stand by the Sixth Prince, he naturally believed that he was a gentle and upright gentleman. Trust is the most important thing.

Wei Bingyan did not have as much confidence in the Sixth Prince as Li Yuyan, but she felt that the Sixth Prince should not do that.

……

Their ship quickly turned from the Luosha River into the winding Yu River. Unlike last time, this time they happily stopped several times along the way, either to make purchases or to enjoy the pleasant scenery. Fifteen days passed in a flash.

After entering the winding Yu River, you will pass through Ziyang City.

Wei Bingyan thought about it for a long time and decided to go to the Xiao family, even if it was just a visit for her mother.

Ziyang City is located between the capital and Baiyue. It is a prosperous and bustling place with a pleasant environment in all four seasons. The Xiao family is a super family here and has a very important position in Ziyang City.

After Li Yuyan and his companions docked at the trading port, they did not send anyone to convey their message to the Xiao family. Instead, they took Wei Bingyan to stroll around Ziyang City leisurely, stayed in a hotel for two days, and after listening to many rumors, they went to visit Old Master Xiao.

The Xiao family holds an indispensable position in Ziyang City, not only because the Xiao family's relatives and clansmen have served as officials for generations and influenced half of the Tang Dynasty, but also because the Xiao family has worked hard to build roads and treat people kindly for many years.

If they encounter bad luck or disasters brought by God, they will take the initiative to give silver to help poor civilians. Therefore, the entire Ziyang City remembers the kindness of the Xiao family and respects the old man and lady of the Xiao family even more.

Wei Bingyan has heard a lot of words praising the Xiao family these days, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart. She let her daughter suffer from her husband's family, and yet she spared no effort to help a stranger. What kind of fraternity is this?

Anxiang and others did not go to the Xiao family with Wei Bingyan and others, but waited for them at the hotel. Only Aunt Yin and Bai Binghui came with Li Yuyan and others.

The carriage stopped in front of the spacious main gate of the Xiao family. Wei Bingyan supported Aunt Yin's men to get the carriage and looked up at the spacious main gate of the Xiao family, which looked majestic and awe-inspiring, with a calm look in her eyes.

Li Yuyan asked Fu Sheng to deliver the letter.

The servant guarding the door took the note, listened to others' explanation of their identities, looked at them strangely, waited for a while, and then hurried inside.

When he was about to enter the auspicious gate, he happened to meet the third master of the Xiao family. The third master Xiao was the son of Old Master Lu's second wife. His name was Xiao Nianguang. He was only thirteen years old this year. He was obese and had fair skin. He was Old Madam Xiao's baby. He was spoiled to the point of being domineering and arrogant, and acted recklessly.

After he took the note from the servant, he mocked her wantonly, "Where did you come from to claim your relatives? When did we ever get married to someone with the surname Li?"

The servant hurriedly said, "Those two seem to be from the capital."

"Brother, go and meet them." Xiao Nianguang came out with the invitation, looking up at Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan. Seeing that they were dressed in ordinary clothes, had ordinary carriages, and even had few servants, he began to look down on them. "Who are you?"

Li Yuyan and Wei Bingyan stared at each other. What kind of way was this to treat guests? Li Yuyan cupped his hands and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiao Nianguang snorted, "You don't even recognize me, but you want to come to my house and claim to be my relative? Do you think our Xiao family is really a charity and you can come whenever you want?"

"It is Old Master Xiao who we are requesting a meeting with. Who are you? Why do you think we are just making up a false relationship?" Wei Bingyan had already guessed the other party's identity from the tone of this guy. She felt even more disgusted with him. She had no good impression of this Old Lady Xiao, whom she had never met before.

"How come you see my father as soon as you meet him? You don't even look at your own identity!" Xiao Nianguang said with a "Puh" sound.

Wei Bingyan looked at her coldly. According to seniority, she should call such a man "uncle", but seeing how this guy spoke and acted, how could she treat him as an elder? "I want to know what identity a granddaughter needs to come to visit grandpa!"

Li Yuyan knew that Wei Bingyan was angry. He patted her hand with a warm smile and said to the surprised Xiao Nianguang, "This young master, we are from the Li family in the capital, and my wife is Miss Wei. My husband and I were passing through Ziyang City, so we came here specially to see Grandpa."

Is this girl the daughter of the Wei family? Xiao Nianguang looked at Wei Bingyan in surprise. He had never seen the Xiao family, let alone Wei Bingyan. He only heard from others that there were two sisters in the family who married into the capital, one became a queen in the palace, and the other became the eldest lady of the Wei family. How come the daughter of the Wei family was coming to the Xiao family without anyone notifying them in advance?

"Why waste time talking to him? I don't know where this ignorant servant came from. Since he doesn't know how to pass on the message, it's better for us not to meet him. At worst, I can write a letter to grandpa to apologize after I go back and let him know the reason." Wei Bingyan looked at Xiao Nianguang coldly and spoke loudly to Li Yuyan.
