Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Chapter 252: Is Aunt Qiu dead or alive?

When the maid guarding the door heard the shouting, she immediately called a few servants and women-in-law to chase after them.

However, the woman in dark gray cloth, who was full of mist, seemed to be very familiar with the surrounding environment. After turning a corner, she couldn't find anyone. One of the directors' wives frowned and told everyone not to talk around, but to look for her anxiously in secret first. She hurried back to the house to inform the Xiao family.

When Xiao heard from others that the woman had appeared, she asked the housekeeper to take the servants to arrest her.

Even if she had to turn the entire Baiyue City upside down, she would find that person!

Wei Bingyan's expression was frozen. It was a woman... Who could it be?

After searching for a long time without finding anyone, Xiao did not give up completely. She asked the housekeeper to bring the servants and maids to continue searching until they found someone. She didn't believe that it would be so difficult to dig someone out in such a small city like Baiyue.

The two directors' wives who saw the woman were notified by Xiao and asked to explain the woman's appearance in detail.

"…not too low, not too high, and the voice is very hoarse. The left side of the face is blocked, so it's really hard to tell what he looks like. Oh, and there's a red mole on the back of his left hand."

"As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked about the Third Young Master. If he wasn't guilty, why would he be so scared..."

The two directors' wives responded, but when they noticed that Xiao and Wei Bingyan's expressions were becoming increasingly ugly, they stopped talking and did not have the courage to continue.

Xiao waved her hand and said, "You guys go down first. Tell the people guarding the small gate to keep a close eye on them. If they find anyone suspicious, arrest them immediately and don't let them go completely."

"Yes, ma'am."

After the two men retreated, Xiao rubbed his forehead and said, "Bingyan, did you hear that?"

"It's her!" Wei Bingyan nodded and said coldly.

"How could it be her? Wasn't she burned to death? Is it just a similarity?" Xiao said. If it was really that person, what would Arui do if he knew?

Wei Bingyan's eyes were calm as she spoke softly, "None of us saw her body at that time. Maybe she slipped away... Maybe someone was helping her from behind?"

"Who will help her from behind?" Xiao curled her lips slightly, still not quite believing that the woman was the one she thought.

Wei Bingyan thought that the two men were very likely related to this matter. She looked at her mother, who was obviously depressed after knowing who that guy was, and did not express her suspicion about the two men.

After arriving home, Wei Bingyan knew that Li Yuyan had not gone out today and was now talking with Fang Feiting and others in the study. She thought about it and went to the study.

When I went to the study, Fang Feiting and the others had just finished talking to Li Yuyan and were preparing to retreat immediately.

Wei Bingyan bowed to them outside and went into the study. When Li Yuyan saw her, he raised his pretty face and smiled brightly, "Why are you back so early today?"

"Arui is feeling much better now. I've been cold to you recently, so I wanted to come over and keep you company." Wei Bingyan said mischievously and cutely, smiling as she walked over to him and sat next to him.

Li Yuyan looked at her with blazing eyes, stretched out his hands and wrapped them around her waist, "So Junior Sister, you missed me so much?"

Wei Bingyan glared at him and said, "I almost caught the woman who delivered the gift at the small gate today. After listening to the descriptions of the two directors' wives, this woman reminded me of someone who should not live in this world."

"Who?" Li Yuyan asked.

"Aunt Qiu." Wei Bingyan said coldly, "Last year, there was a fire in her residence. The director of the villa came to reply and said that she had been burned to death in the house. Now it seems that there seems to be something strange about this."

Li Yuyan said: "How could she poison her own son with tea?"

"She didn't want to poison A Rui with tea, she wanted to harm A Sheng!" Wei Bingyan asked, "Can I borrow a few people from you and ask them to go find this woman?"

She knew that Li Yuyan had carefully trained a group of shadow guards in secret, and those people were already working for him in Baiyue.

"I'll ask them to find the person as soon as possible." Finding a woman was just a small problem for Li Yuyan, but he felt that it seemed a little strange that a concubine abandoned by the Wei family suddenly appeared in Baiyue.

Before he could ask the question he had to ask, Wei Bingyan had already expressed his suspicions, "If this person is really Aunt Qiu, how did she survive and escape, and how did she get to Baiyue? There must be someone helping her, but I don't know if it was Wei Bingru or Shen Rouruo..."

Although Wei Bingru was a widow in the Chu family, Li Hou made the decision and chose a little boy from the descendants of the illegitimate children to raise in her hands. She had a son to rely on and also asked for a chastity arch for the Chu family. Wei Bingru's status in the Chu family was not low.

With her tricks, it would not be difficult to use the Chu family to help Aunt Qiu.

The only person Wei Bingyan was worried about was Shen Rouruo. Such a woman was already the consort of the Fourth Prince. If she took the initiative to attack, it would be fine if it was out of personal hatred, but if it was for something else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as just bringing Aunt Qiu to Baiyue.

"It may not be Shen Rouruo. If it is her, then she will want to harm more than just A Sheng." Li Yuyan said.

"How was your business trip going?" Wei Bingyan asked. At the moment, her mind was completely on her parents' home and she had no time to care about his affairs. Thinking about it now, she felt a little guilty.

Li Yuyan held her hands deep in his palms and said softly, "Originally it was an easy business trip to handle, but it involves some people in the capital... We have to be careful when handling it."

Wei Bingyan frowned and asked, "Is there someone in the capital who is pressuring you to hand over the river transportation to the Gong family?"

"Originally, the Fang family was the most likely candidate, but after repeated investigations over the past few days, it seems that the Fang family has a weakness in the hands of the Gong family. The Fang family is worried about the Gong family, so they naturally give in in everything. However..." Li Yuyan said with a smile, "Fang Shengjing doesn't seem to be satisfied with the current situation either."
