Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

After Mrs. Li left, Wei Bingyan slowly walked back to the main room.

She was wondering what Wei Zhong had done to Lord Li?

She remembered that in his previous life, Wei Zhong was also determined to win over Li Yuyan.

However, in the end, he failed to win him over to the prince's faction. It turned out that before Li Yuyan, Wei Zhong had already taken the initiative to attack Lord Li.

Although Lord Li is only a marquis, the old ancestor of the Li family once fought for the throne with Lord Gao of the Tang Dynasty. However, after generations, the Li family fell into decline. It was not until the generation of Lord Li that the family once again entered the official career.

His Majesty once said in front of all the officials in the court that he was most relieved to hand over Jinyun City to Lord Li.

Jinyun City has always been an important military base since ancient times. The emperor's trust in Lord Li is naturally not because of true and pure trust.

Although Lord Li is a civilian official, he is from a military family, and his ability to lead troops in battle must be no less than that of other generals in the court.

This is also the reason why the prince is so anxious to win over Lord Li.

She just hoped that the master would not be estranged from them because of this incident, and hoped that the master would still be willing to give her mother a comprehensive examination and treatment. No matter what Wei Zhong wanted to do, it had nothing to do with her and her mother.

When she arrived at the main room, Wei Bingyan saw Xiao lying on the beauty bed, frowning and thinking over and over again.

She walked over gently and sat down on a wooden bench nearby. "Mom, Master told you to be in a good mood and take care of your body before you take care of your mind. You forgot this again. If you let these people get angry with you after a few words, then they will get the upper hand."

Xiao took Wei Bingyan's hand and placed it on her knees, and said in a calm tone: "How can I not understand your truth? Even if I don't bother to plot against others, others will plot against us."

"In this case, let's think of a way to kill two birds with one stone and return with complete success." Wei Bingyan said calmly: "Mother, Aunt Lian is not to be feared at all, why do you have to trust her? As long as father makes the decision and nods his head to agree, does she dare to disobey? Even if father misses her unfinished love, doesn't he still have grandfather?"

The old man of the Wei family has always valued a daughter-in-law like Xiao. It is impossible for the aunt to take advantage of Wei Zhong's favor to stir up trouble in the Wei family.

Xiao smiled, "I don't think that much of Lian Xuexin, but I don't fully understand what your father has been doing outside recently, but I have heard about it. I am really worried... your father has done so many things for the prince, but in turn he will become a burden to me."

Isn’t it the price that we have to pay in the end?

Wei Bingyan thought deep in her heart that if she could change her fate in this life, the Wei family should not be involved with the prince. At least such an innocent person should not be involved and lose his life.

"Mother, why don't you persuade father? Even though a crown prince has been appointed, no one knows the outcome. Father can't place all his bets on one person." Wei Bingyan said softly.

Xiao nodded slightly. "Although what you said is good, your father may not listen to my advice. You can only try your best."

Wei Bingyan also didn't think that Wei Zhong would be able to listen to her advice. She didn't know whether the Wei family would be dragged down by the prince in the future, but she believed 100% that some things could be changed. It was just not the right time, so she didn't have to do anything in the short term.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then Xiao sent Wei Bingyan back. She should start preparing to go to the academy the next day, so she should start early.

In the evening, Wei Zhong rarely went into the inner courtyard to have dinner with Xiao.

This was a favorable opportunity. Xiao cheered up and told the maid to prepare dinner, thinking deep in her heart how to test patiently.

"The old man has been walking around outside these days. I think he must be very tired. He also has to take care of his health." Xiao sat down next to Wei Zhong and personally poured him a cup of tea.

Wei Zhong looked at his still pretty and docile wife, and said with a smile: "It can't be said that it's very hard, all of it is for Your Highness, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it."

"The old man didn't have a good rest since he came to Jinyun City. Even if His Highness knew about it, he would definitely say something to you. You are His Highness's right-hand man. How can His Highness not worry about your health?" Xiao scolded him and said with a smile.

Wei Zhong laughed, and then he didn't know what he was thinking about. His bright smile faded slightly, and he snorted, "Actually, it's almost done, but there are a few stubborn guys who don't listen to my advice and are causing trouble."

The Crown Prince was not the only one who was successful in the court. The Fourth Prince's mother was His Majesty's favorite concubine, and many ministers in the court stood upright on the Fourth Prince's side.

Could it be that there is no one in Jinyun City who has been bribed by the Fourth Prince?

Xiao was just thinking about this in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud, "Who else can make the old man unhappy?"

"Let's not talk about these boring people." Wei Zhong waved his hand, as if to get rid of these people from his mind. "I have been getting along with Lord Chu these days, and he seems to be interested in marrying our Wei family. What do you think? I have seen Lord Chu's son, he is handsome and worthy of our daughter."

Xiao's heart trembled, and she thought bitterly, this man was going to sacrifice Bingyan as expected!

She was furious in her heart, but the bright smile on her face remained unchanged, "Although the Lord Chu is not a natural noble, he is barely worthy of the Wei family."

"As long as you don't oppose it so strongly, I can give you a definite answer." Wei Zhong felt that Xiao was a wise choice.

"How could I object to my daughter having such a good fate? When I went to the palace before, Concubine De asked about it. In addition to Bingyan, there are two other girls in the family who are already at the age of marriage. Bingyan has the Empress to make the decision for her, so I don't have to worry about anything. But although Xiaoru and Wan'er are not my daughters, they are also my daughters. How can I not remember them?" Xiao said with a smile.

Wei Zhong was stunned, "What are you talking about? Your Majesty wants to arrange a marriage for Bingyan?"

"Yes, didn't I mention this matter to you, old man?" Xiao looked at Wei Zhong in confusion. At that time, she had entered the deep palace in the capital. Concubine De also mentioned Bingyan's marriage, but she perfunctorily avoided the question by saying that Bingyan was young. Now she could use it as an excuse.

Concubine Xiao De was Xiao's cousin and was very trusted by His Majesty. She only had a seven-year-old son by her side, so she was not enough to pose a threat to the prince. On the contrary, she could be a help. Wei Zhong also wanted to use his wife's relationship to win over Concubine Xiao De.

"I nodded and promised the Lord of Chu that I would marry the Wei family's legitimate child to the Prince of Chu. In this way, wouldn't I be breaking my promise?" Wei Zhong frowned and paced around the room anxiously.

Xiao looked puzzled. "This...what should I do? How about I talk to Concubine Xiao De?"

"No!" Wei Zhong immediately denied it. Between Concubine Xiao De and Marquis Chu, who was more important, Wei Zhong knew deep down in his heart, "It is Bingyan's good fortune that Concubine Xiao De has taken a fancy to her. If we reject Concubine Xiao De's kindness, we will be regarded as ungrateful."

Xiao looked at Wei Zhong and smiled bitterly, but did not dare to say a word, wanting to wait for him to speak himself.

"We have to think of a way!" Wei Zhong said to himself. He didn't want to offend anyone.

"Grandpa, don't you have other daughters?" Seeing that Wei Zhong was busy taking a walk and didn't think about the most important thing at all, Xiao couldn't help but open her mouth.

"But I nodded and agreed to Marquis Chu to let the daughter of the legitimate heir betrothed to the prince..." Wei Zhong said in a bad tone.

"Then hand Xiaoru over to me. Isn't she also the legitimate second daughter?" Xiao said.

Wei Zhong was stunned, frowned and pondered over it again.
