Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

"…The person had just died not long ago. She was strangled to death and thrown into the puddle. It was obvious that the body was destroyed. There were no signs of a struggle on her body. The person who strangled her to death was most likely her friend." Li Yuyan concentrated on expressing his views.

After hearing this, Xiao was furious, "Who dares to kill people at this time!" After she finished her story, she looked at Li Yuyan suddenly, "You said that the person had just died not long ago? In that case, it wasn't someone in her family who killed her..."

She had just called all the servants in the house together, so how could anyone take someone's life under her nose? The only defense was that the murderer was not from the Wei family.

Li Yuyan nodded, "It should be someone from outside."

"But how do people from outside get in?" Wei Bingyan asked in confusion.

Xiao calmed down and said, "I will get to the bottom of this matter. It's getting late. You should go back first."

"Mom, let me stay with you tonight." Wei Bingyan said.

"It's not that I don't have any experience. I've been through all kinds of storms. I can handle it. You can go back without worry. If there's anything wrong with the A'rui brothers, it won't be too late to send someone to call you. They're just two streets away." Xiao said, "As for the old master...you should keep it a secret for now, so that he won't worry."

If the old man knew about this, he would only be so angry that he would come and blame Wei Zhong.

Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Before leaving quickly, she went to see A Rui and A Sheng again. A Rui's complexion had begun to improve. She felt relieved and followed Li Yuyan back home.

When they got home, Wei Bingyan pulled Li Yuyan aside to ask about the mother-in-law again. Li Yuyan defended herself again, but still could not dispel the growing doubts in Wei Bingyan's heart.

"You are tired today. Take a good rest after dinner. We can talk about it tomorrow. I will talk to the old man." Li Yuyan said while holding her.

Wei Bingyan leaned in his arms and whispered, "There are too many concubines in the family, and there are always too many twists and turns in the struggle for favor. She actually attacked a child. If this person is found, I will never let her go."

Li Yuyan hugged her tightly and said, "I won't let you suffer this kind of harm."

"Uh!" She tilted her neck to look at him, and kissed him with a smile, "Aren't you going to the old man's place? Hurry up and get there."

"You have to wait until I change my clothes before going." Li Yuyan said with a smile.

Wei Bingyan wrinkled her nose, "Why do you have the pleasant scent of powder on your body?"

Li Yuyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he lifted her upper jaw and kissed her lips affectionately, murmuring, "Isn't this yours?"

She never uses gouache with such a strong flavor!

……

Over the past few days, the Wei family has been in dire straits. They have to be careful about what they say and how they walk, for fear of greatly angering the mistress of the family and suffering a disastrous end.

Wei Longrui was recuperating at home and did not go to the college. Wei Bingyan visited him almost every day.

Wei Bingyan was grateful to him. If he hadn't taken the initiative to drink A Sheng's milk first, A Sheng would still be alive and well today.

She knew that A Rui was prejudiced against her deep down in his heart, but the fact that he could still sincerely care about A Sheng proved that he was still that kind child.

Aunt Qiu is so lucky to have such a good son.

"How do you feel? Does your stomach still hurt?" She looked at him tenderly and personally fed him the medicine as prescribed by the doctor.

Wei Longrui pouted slightly, "It doesn't hurt anymore, sister, how is Ah Sheng? I haven't seen him for several days."

Almost every day, she would ask if Ah Sheng was safe and healthy. Wei Bingyan smiled faintly and said, "He is still sleeping at this time. You two have always been like this. When you fall asleep, Ah Sheng comes to find you, and when you wake up, he is already tired from playing."

"Is he really okay?" Wei Longrui asked worriedly.

Just after the detailed questioning was completed, Ah Sheng's penetrating voice came from outside, "Brother...Brother..."

After hearing this, Wei Longrui smiled happily.

Ah Sheng was carried in by Xiao and as soon as he saw Ah Rui, he immediately threw himself on him and started talking babble babble, but no one could hear clearly what he said.

Looking at these two children, Wei Bingyan's nose felt sore and she felt indescribably touched.

Xiao asked Nanny Li and the wet nurse to look after the two children, and went outside to talk with Wei Bingyan.

"Mom, have you found out?" Wei Bingyan held Xiao's hand and saw that there was a hint of fatigue between Xiao's brows. She couldn't help but feel worried deep down.

"I heard from the maid who guards the door that this mother-in-law has been close to a woman who delivers dry grass recently. All the things to feed the cows were delivered by that person, but this person has not appeared since then." Xiao said coldly. The person who delivered the things was very suspicious. She asked people to guard near the house for the past few days, but this person just didn't show up.

Wei Bingyan narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled grimly, "If she has anything to do with this person, she will definitely show up."

Xiao nodded, "That's what I thought."

The mother and daughter talked about Xiao Nianguang again.

"...That man is the second son of the Bai family in Xuanmu Mansion. How could Third Uncle follow him? Mother, I'm afraid this matter is in Grandpa's favor. What does Grandpa think? He can't get involved in the dirty water of Baiyue. If so, what should we do?

Didn't grandpa also go to the capital to persuade Empress Defei at that time? Why this time..." Wei Bingyan lowered her voice and told Xiao Shi about Xiao Nianguang's whereabouts in the past few days.

The person Xiao Nianguang met frequently has been found out. He is the second son of the Bai family. This time he came back to Baiyue for river transportation.

"I can't see clearly what my father is doing." Xiao sighed slightly, "Let's wait and see what Xiao Nianguang can do."

"Is grandpa planning something with Concubine De?" Wei Bingyan asked.

Xiao frowned and said, "I will write a letter to your two uncles to ask."

At the same time, at the inconspicuous little door of the Wei family, there was a woman wandering around in a misty dark grey cloth with a beautiful net scarf on her head. The beautiful net scarf was so big that it covered half of her face.

She took a few steps forward and realized that the person guarding the small gate was not the maid she was familiar with, so she didn't dare to move any further and just pretended to pass by and walked past.

At this time, two women dressed as directors’ wives came out from the inconspicuous little door. They talked, “…Poor Aunt Cao, I don’t know who slandered her, but she died like that.”

"The most pitiful one is the third young master. He drank more than half of the bowl of milk and now he can't go to the college." said another lady.

The woman in the dark grey cloth that was filled with a sense of mystery trembled all over after hearing what they said. She asked in a hoarse voice, "In the mansion... the third young master in the mansion has been poisoned?"

"Who are you?" one of them asked the woman who suddenly stopped them on their way home.

"me……"

"Do you know Aunt Cao? It feels like this is the thing you sent..." Another person looked at the woman in dark gray cloth who was in a daze and thought of something.

After hearing this, the misty woman in dark gray cloth turned around and walked away with her head held high.

"Stand still!" the two directors' wives shouted, "Quick, that's Mr. Tea Poison's person, catch her!"
