Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wouldn't that mean that all his hard work for so many days would be in vain? Let them do whatever they want? Li Yuyan smiled darkly in his heart, but his face was serious. "This... I just received the imperial edict from His Majesty the day before. If I don't personally supervise the bidding, this bidding will not count. Sir, you see..."

Li Chongsheng's smile froze, "Your Majesty's decree?"

"That's right, Lord Li, would you like to see it?" Li Yuyan asked.

"No, that's not necessary." Li Chongsheng shook his head hastily. It was a secret imperial edict, so he didn't dare to read it. "What does Master Li mean?"

Li Yuyan smiled lightly, "Why not postpone it for a few days?"

After sending Li Chongsheng away, Li Yuyan issued an order to close the store and not receive any guests during the period of recuperation.

The bid opening time was also postponed by ten days.

……

In a blink of an eye, Wei Bingyan had already lived on Xiangmu Island for three days. After listening to what Old Master Wei said, she knew that there were Japanese pirates hiding among the fishermen on this island, so she did not dare to go out rashly. However, she could not resist the beautiful scenery on the island and the curiosity about life on the endless beach, so she took her maid out for a walk.

Wei Bingyan hadn't seen Old Master Wei like this in the past few days. The old man had been talking about something with Old Master Fu in the study room. Even Fu Youqi was rarely seen.

It’s probably because of the Japanese pirates on the island.

Wei Bingyan looked at the place where people used fishing nets to catch fish and dry fish on the vast seashore. She couldn't believe that among those simple and unpretentious fishermen, there were some who had once engaged in such brutal fighting among Japanese pirates at sea.

The fishermen on the island were very enthusiastic and had brought them a lot of lively fish in the past few days. Wei Bingyan saw the big man who brought them the lively fish drying his fine fishing nets nearby, so she walked over.

"Uncle Yue, how was your harvest after today's hard work?" Wei Bingyan asked with a smile, her eyes showing kindness to the fishermen nearby.

Those fishermen were simple and unpretentious and very enthusiastic. They all responded to Wei Bingyan's kindness with smiles. Some even asked Wei Bingyan if she wanted to take some fresh seafood back to taste.

Uncle Yue was an old man in his fifties. Probably due to the hard work throughout the year, he looked very strong and was taller than other fishermen.

Hearing Wei Bingyan's voice, Uncle Yue's face, which was dark from the sun and wind, broke into a brilliant smile, and his wrinkles deepened a little. "Miss, why did you come out today? The sunlight from the vast seashore can easily darken people. Miss, you should be careful."

Wei Bingyan happened to run into Uncle Yue twice in the Fu Family Courtyard and exchanged a few words with him. Uncle Yue was a bright and cheerful person and was very easy to get along with.

"Where else can you see the beautiful scenery of this island?" Wei Bingyan said with a smile, pointing to the only mountain on the island. "I see there seems to be a Buddhist temple on top, but is it the Mazu Temple?"

"It's the Mazu Temple. It's very effective. Burn three incense sticks at the temple when you go out to sea and it guarantees you'll return safely." An auntie nearby replied formally with a smile.

Uncle Yue said, "It's hard to get up here, Miss, please be careful."

Wei Bingyan responded, looked at the mountain with great interest, turned to Bai Binghui and said, "Let's go take a look."

Bai Binghui and Anxiang had been feeling a little depressed these days, so they nodded happily. However, Aunt Yin looked at Old Man Yue for a few times, but in the end, she couldn't see anything, so she walked towards the mountain with Wei Bingyan and the others.

It’s just… Aunt Yin looked at Wei Bingyan’s increasingly smaller figure and murmured quietly in her heart, the old man had already told the young mistress about the young master’s injury this morning, so why wasn’t the young mistress worried at all, but instead had the mood to explore the mystery?

Could it be that the young mistress has really given up on the young master?

What should we do then?

Li Yuyan was seriously injured!

Hearing such news from the old man, Wei Bingyan's heart was pounding with fear. She almost wanted to go back out of compassion, but she quickly put her worries aside, especially after hearing others talk about how he was injured.

Others didn't know Li Yuyan, so how could she not know him? Who was Li Yuyan? How could he be killed so easily? Moreover, he postponed the bid opening date by ten days, which clearly showed that he was sincere.

She did not forget the time when he was injured in Linghu Mansion, and half of his clothes were stained with blood, but he still didn't care at all, and was still jumping around happily the next day. She didn't believe that this time he was really injured and couldn't even get out of bed. It might be true that he was injured, but the injury should not be serious, huh, it should be as it should be!

Wei Bingyan understood Li Yuyan, so she could guess that he was injured, but others didn't understand, so they had no time to appreciate the intoxicating scenery along the way. They just tried to suppress their thoughts. They wanted to persuade Wei Bingyan to forgive Li Yuyan as soon as possible, but Wei Bingyan was helpless. She was only busy admiring the mountains and the desolate seaside scenery and didn't listen to their advice at all.

“Young Madam…” Aunt Yin took the two maids to the other side, walked to Wei Bingyan, and said softly, “Young Madam, the young master is seriously injured, why don’t we go back…”

"Aunt Yin." Wei Bingyan called with a smile, "You don't know who the young master is. Is he really injured or just pretending to be injured? Can't you tell?"

"But, what if?" Aunt Yin asked worriedly.

Wei Bingyan snorted, "He deserves it!"

Although she said so, she still cared in her heart, but she knew better that it would be better for her to stay on the island now. Going to Baiyue City might in turn tie his hands.

Aunt Yin felt even more regretful after hearing what Wei Bingyan said, "Young Madam is still angry with the Master. It's my fault. If I had told you earlier, you wouldn't be sulking with the Master now."

Wei Bingyan stopped, tilted her head to look at Aunt Yin, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's clear sooner or later. He hid it from me and used drugs on me, which means he didn't treat me as his wife. He and I are one. If he really cares about me, he should have discussed it with me. I know my own body best. I know whether I can give birth to a child safely."

This was the first time Wei Bingyan talked about her anger towards Li Yuyan in front of Aunt Yin and the others. Aunt Yin said, "Young Master has realized his mistake."

"He knows he is wrong, but he doesn't know where." Wei Bingyan said calmly and continued walking towards the Buddhist temple on the mountain.

Aunt Yin hurried forward.
