Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

"You... who did you say is the servant? I am your third uncle!" Xiao Nianguang had already believed Wei Bingyan's identity at this time. When he heard that she treated him as a servant, he shouted in shame and anger.

Wei Bingyan said, "Nonsense! The Xiao family is a family of poetry and etiquette. How could there be someone like you who is so blind that he doesn't know what a great man should be? I advise you not to ruin the reputation of the Xiao family, otherwise my grandfather will never let you go."

The flesh on Xiao Nianguang's face trembled twice, and he pulled the servant aside, "You...what are you talking about? I am your third uncle. If you don't believe me, ask him who I am!"

"Is that so? I actually have an elder like you?" Wei Bingyan looked at him with amusement.

"You!" Xiao Nianguang's face turned red. He didn't expect such a woman to be so sharp-tongued. He wanted to chase her away, but he was afraid that she was really the daughter of the Wei family. He could only say, "You are here to visit father. I, an elder, will not argue with you. Ah Chun, take them to the old master's study!"

After finishing his story, Xiao Nianguang held his head high and walked past Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan.

She could pretend not to recognize him and laugh at this so-called third uncle. Wei Bingyan finally calmed down a little. She looked up and saw Li Yuyan looking at her with amusement. Her face flushed slightly. She said softly, "Let's go see grandpa quickly. After that, we'll go back to the hotel to rest for a night and then set off."

Li Yuyan nodded with a smile.

Wei Bingyan's two uncles both took up posts in foreign places. Apart from Old Master Xiao, there was only Old Master Xiao II left in the Xiao family mansion. Other relatives had their own rooms, and unless there was something important, they would rarely come to visit.

The servant led Li Yuyan and the others to the outer study. Old Master Xiao was in the study right now, waiting for the servant to go in and give the reply. When he came out, he looked strange and said to them standing outside, "Old Master, please go to the main hall and wait for a moment."

What on earth did this mean? Wei Bingyan was furious. What kind of hospitality was this? Did they really think that she and Li Yuyan were asking to see them?

"Let's go!" Wei Bingyan said to Li Yuyan angrily. She didn't even bother to come to the Xiao family.

Li Yuyan pulled her hand, pinched her palm, and said gently: "It doesn't matter. Since Old Master Xiao doesn't want to see us at this time, we can just wait a little longer."

"But..." Wei Bingyan just didn't want to suffer here.

"Nothing." Li Yuyan said softly, and the two of them followed the servant to the main hall.

A maid served them tea, but unfortunately, after a long time, there was no sign of Old Master Xiao. The coldness in Wei Bingyan's eyes became more and more severe. On the contrary, Li Yuyan remained calm and composed, and did not forget to tease Wei Bingyan.

She should have thought of it earlier. With a son like Xiao Nianguang, how could Old Master Xiao be any better!

But to treat them coldly like this was too much.

When Wei Bingyan and the others entered the Xiao family, someone had already informed Old Lady Xiao in the inner courtyard of their arrival.

Old Mrs. Xiao is only forty years old this year and is well maintained. She has no feelings for Wei Bingyan, a granddaughter who is not related to her by blood.

She had originally planned to send someone out to greet them, but when she heard from others that Old Master Xiao was ignoring them, she immediately pretended not to know what was going on and ignored them.

"It will be nightfall if we wait any longer. Let's go back!" After a long while, Wei Bingyan couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and was about to walk outside.

Before Li Yuyan could even open his mouth, a powerful and majestic voice came from outside the main hall, "How can you accomplish anything if you don't have any patience?"

He basically guessed the identity of the person, stood up, and looked directly at the person with Wei Bingyan and Wei Tou.

The person who came in was Old Master Xiao. Old Master Xiao was already 55 years old this year. He had the air of a scholar. When he was young, he was also a gentle, handsome and talented man. He looked at Wei Bingyan sternly, walked to the main seat and sat down.

Wei Bingyan hadn't seen this grandpa for a long time. She was already furious, and she was even more dissatisfied when he scolded her. "Grandpa, I'm just a woman. I've never thought about doing anything big."

Old Master Xiao looked at Wei Bingyan and asked, "Where are all the rules you learned in the past few years? Look at you, do you still look like a lady?"

Even if she really disliked the Xiao family, she couldn't let them underestimate her and Li Yuyan. Wei Bingyan suppressed the anger in her heart, smiled lightly, and bowed, "Bingyan was wrong. I was too inappropriate to grandpa."

Li Yuyan clasped his fists and bowed, saying in a gentle voice, "Grandson-in-law greets grandpa."

Old Master Xiao raised his hand and motioned for them to sit down and talk.

"Are you planning to go to Baiyue?" He took the exquisite teacup that the maid had just brought over, took a sip of tea, and asked Li Yuyan directly.

Li Yuyan replied, "That's right. We passed by Ziyang City, and Bingyan was always thinking about you, so she came to visit you sincerely."

Old Master Xiao smiled nonchalantly, "It was Concubine Lu De who asked you to come to the Xiao family, otherwise, I don't think you would sincerely dock your boat to come to Ziyang City to visit me."

Wei Bingyan smiled faintly and said, "When communicating with mother, mother repeatedly asked Bingyan to come over to visit grandpa. Even without the Empress Defei's instructions, Bingyan would definitely come."

"This is such filial piety, but you are unhappy after waiting for a long time?" asked Old Master Xiao.

"It's not that Bingyan is unhappy at all. It's just that when we were outside just now, we were regarded as people who were trying to climb up the bloodline and were scolded and driven away. The Xiao family is a scholarly family, but they have such a servant. Bingyan can't help but feel disappointed." Wei Bingyan raised her head and looked at Old Master Lu.

She couldn't say how much affection she had for this elder who had always valued relationships the most. She just felt that since he had already taught his son like that, why should he deal with others?

Old Master Xiao frowned and looked at the servant outside in confusion.

The servant girl hurried in and whispered a few words of defense in Old Master Xiao's ear.

After hearing this, Old Master Xiao's face turned cold. He looked at Wei Bingyan for a moment, and after a long while he said, "You haven't gone over to greet grandma yet. Go ahead. Yu Yan and I will go to the study to talk."

Wei Bingyan frowned slightly and nodded in agreement.

A maid came to lead Wei Bingyan to the garden. She looked at Li Yuyan who was going to the study with Old Master Xiao. She felt a little heavy in her heart. Concubine Lu De wanted her to come to the Xiao family sincerely, which must not be as simple as asking her to visit her grandfather. Did she have something to say to Li Yuyan? But why did she have to go through her grandfather?

What is Concubine Lu De's purpose?

If it was for the Seventh Prince…didn’t Grandpa advise her to give up completely before?
