Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

With her head full of confusion, Wei Bingyan appeared in the main room of the Xiao family. As soon as she entered the gate of the courtyard, two or three maids dressed in magnificent clothes came to greet her, "This is my cousin, the old lady has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

Wei Bingyan was surrounded by people and walked into the house. As soon as she lowered her head, she smelled a strong and pleasant scent of watercolor.

She frowned for some unknown reason and looked at the woman who was sitting sideways on the large sandalwood single-board King Kong bed. Her body was as thin as a telephone pole, with a pointed mouth and chin, and there was a sense of wisdom between her facial features. Although the look she gave Wei Bingyan was smiling, it did not seem comfortable.

"Oh, she is indeed a beauty made of water." Old Mrs. Xiao smiled as soon as she saw Wei Bingyan.

"Grandma." Wei Bingyan bowed and saluted, her voice a little stiff.

Old Madam Xiao pulled Wei Bingyan to sit beside her, her facial features smiling, her voice friendly, "...As expected, you look very much like your mother. She has always been nagging about not knowing when she can see you and your daughter again. Now that she sees you, she does the same thing. Are you coming to Ziyang City to stay for a few days?"

Wei Bingyan couldn't stand Mrs. Xiao's friendliness and enthusiasm. Not to mention that they had never met before, they were not even relatives at all. Meeting for the first time like that... It seemed too hypocritical and untrue.

"Grandma, I want to stay here for a few days, but my husband has to go to Baiyue to take up his post, and we don't have enough time. We have to leave for home tomorrow, and we can't miss the time." Wei Bingyan replied softly, with a bright and steady smile on her face.

Old Madam Xiao showed a helpless expression, but the smile in her eyes became even stronger, "That's such a pity..."

The next topic was the Xiao family. After becoming Old Master Xiao's second wife, Old Madam Xiao had never seen her daughter who had married into the capital. When she asked about her now, it was of course not out of genuine concern, but she was just unconsciously finding a topic to talk about.

Moreover, she wanted to know what the current status of Xiao was in the Wei family. She had heard from others before that because the daughter had not given birth to a legitimate child, she was dominated by a concubine in the Wei family. Even though she had given birth to a son, Wei Zhong already had three sons. Was it still surprising?

In such a world, only a biological mother would sincerely hope that her daughter would live a good life, and only a biological mother would work hard for her daughter with a whole heart.

How could Old Mrs. Xiao really hope that her daughter would live such a good life?

Wei Bingyan laughed in her heart and answered like a treasure. Who in the Wei family could challenge her mother's position now? Even Wei Zhong would not dare to ignore her mother's existence as he did before.

"Mom, has that stinky woman from Beijing left?"

Old Mrs. Xiao was talking to Wei Bingyan when they suddenly heard heavy footsteps outside. Then, a plump, round and round face appeared in front of them.

It was Xiao Nianguang. A mocking smile flashed across Wei Bingyan's eyes.

"Why are you still here!" Xiao Nianguang saw Wei Bingyan as soon as he entered the door, his face gloomy, and he pointed at her and asked loudly.

"Guang'er!" Old Madam Xiao glanced at him, and then immediately said with a smile: "This is your granddaughter in the capital, how come she doesn't act like an elder at all."

Wei Bingyan revealed a surprised expression and looked at Xiao Nianguang in shock.

Xiao Nianguang saw Wei Bingyan's expression and raised his head proudly, "What do you think? I've already told you that I'm your third uncle, why don't you come and serve me tea respectfully?"

"It was Bingyan who didn't recognize the value of a person. I didn't expect that the third uncle who I have been thinking about for a long time would actually... be you. I hope you can forgive me for being disrespectful." Wei Bingyan stood up and saluted respectfully. She didn't have the sharp tone she had just when she spoke outside. There was disdain in her eyes as she looked at Lu Nianguang.

Only Xiao Nianguang could see this disdain.

Xiao Nianguang only thought of Wei Bingyan's previous ridicule. After hearing her words, he felt even more embarrassed. However, he could not find a reason to refute fiercely, "You...you are such a stubborn and stubborn woman!"

The more Mrs. Xiao listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She snorted heavily, "Guang'er, don't forget that you are an elder!"

"Mom, it's her...it's her..." Xiao Nianguang pointed at Wei Bingyan anxiously.

"If you continue like this, how can you be an elder around Bingyan? Don't forget, you will be going to Baiyue in a few days!" said Old Lady Xiao.

These words made Wei Bingyan suddenly very surprised. What was Xiao Nianguang going to do in Baiyue?

Xiao Nianguang's expression improved, and he glanced at Wei Bingyan, "I won't do anything serious with my niece!"

Wei Bingyan looked at him and smiled gently, but deep down she wanted to know what her grandfather would say to Li Yuyan.

Then, after another half an hour, Old Master Xiao sent someone to convey that he asked Li Yuyan to stay in the study to drink happily, and asked Wei Bingyan to eat at Old Madam Xiao's place.

Xiao Nianguang was sent away by Old Lady Xiao. During the meal, Old Lady Xiao asked in detail about Li Yuyan's business trip to Baiyue. Wei Bingyan knew nothing about it and covered it up by saying that a woman should not interfere in her husband's external affairs.

Not long after lunch, a maid came to report that her cousin's husband was drunk and wanted Wei Bingyan to serve him.

With Li Yuyan's alcohol tolerance, it's not that easy for him to get drunk.

She hurriedly appeared in the outer courtyard and saw Li Yuyan outside the main hall.

"What's going on?" She walked over and noticed that his eyes were bright and clear, and he didn't look drunk at all.

"Let's go back." Li Yuyan smiled at her and held her hand.

Wei Bingyan had already wanted to leave, she nodded without asking why.

Wei Bingyan did not say goodbye to Old Madam Xiao and left the Xiao family quickly with Li Yuyan.

After returning to the hotel, she did not immediately ask Li Yuyan what happened in the study. Instead, she helped him wash up and clean the smell of alcohol off his body. Then the two of them sat down and had a good talk.

"Nothing happened to you at Old Madam Xiao's place, right?" Without waiting for Wei Bingyan to ask questions, Li Yuyan first showed concern for her situation in the Xiao family's courtyard.

Wei Bingyan was very annoyed by all kinds of probing and hidden meanings from Old Lady Xiao, and told Li Yuyan about their conversations, "...it seems as if my mother is not doing well in the Wei family, but she is very respectable, even though she is not her biological daughter, there is still that layer of relationship.

No wonder my mother has been wronged in the Wei family for many years and no one has stood up for her. This old woman is just waiting to see the joke."

Probably because she had lived with Mrs. Li for a long time, Wei Bingyan had learned some of her character. If it were before, she would never have dared to call Mrs. Xiao an old lady like that.
