Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Whether it is to support the Sixth Prince or to leave a safe retreat for himself, he must personally take full control of the Fang family.

As for whether the Fang family really had any connection with the Japanese pirates at sea thirty-five years ago, it was not important to him at all.

"Sir." At this time, a very low voice came from outside.

Li Yuyan's eyes lit up, "Go in."

It was Suleiye who came back.

"How is it?" Fang Feiting was even more nervous than Li Yuyan. When Su Leye just came in, he went up to him and asked in a quick voice with a little breath.

He was considered an ordinary member of the Fang family. When he heard from others that the Fang family had a relationship with the Japanese pirates at sea, he naturally took it more seriously than other people. This matter was of no trivial matter. If it were made public, perhaps the entire Fang family would be finished.

Su Leiye understood Fang Feiting's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, clasped his fists and bowed to Li Yuyan, "Sir."

"Is it related to the Gong family?" Li Yuyan slowly straightened up, picked up the exquisite teacup and took a sip of tea.

“The Fang family did make their fortune by making a living at sea, mostly by smuggling goods… It has nothing to do with the government silver being intercepted thirty-five years ago.

It’s just that at that time, the Fang family had exported goods to these pirates at sea. The last export of secret black goods was thirty-five years ago. After the official silver was intercepted, these pirates at sea disappeared, and the Fang family no longer engaged in smuggling business, but became a serious ship merchant in Baiyue City..." Su Leiye said.

This is the information he found out these days. He couldn't find it before because there was no precise direction.

"If my guess is not correct, the last batch of contraband taken away by the Fang family at that time was this official silver." Su Leiye said.

Li Yuyan concentrated on the thought and said softly, "One hundred million taels of government silver... it is impossible for the Fang family to swallow it all. If it was really swallowed by the Fang family, why didn't these Japanese pirates show up for so long? The Fang family only exported some of it. The most important thing... is still in the hands of these Japanese pirates."

Fang Feiting and Su Leiye said at the same time, "Gong family!"

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, although Wei Bingyan wanted to enjoy the sunset in the vast ocean, she also knew that she had to be extra careful in this unfamiliar place. The master and the slave had just come down from the top of the mountain when they saw Old Man Yue running towards them.

As if he had not expected to see Wei Bingyan here again at this time, Uncle Yue was stunned, thinking that this charming young lady Wei Bingyan would definitely not want to work hard to climb to the top of the mountain, "Young lady, why are you coming down the mountain at this time?"

Bai Binghui replied with a smile, "Our young mistress heard from others that the Mother Grandmother was very spiritual, so she went there to burn some incense. She didn't expect to be fascinated by her beauty, so she stayed for a short time. Uncle Yue, why are you going into the mountains at this time? It's getting dark soon."

"Haha, I'm used to going there to burn incense to the Mother Goddess at this time every day, so I don't think it's a big deal. Look carefully at the road, it's not easy to walk at night." Uncle Yue said with a smile.

Wei Bingyan expressed her gratitude, rubbed shoulders with Uncle Yue and left.

After walking for a long time, they saw the Fu family's small garden. Aunt Yin said, "Young Madam, don't you think this old man Yue is very strange? Why would someone go to pay homage to the mother at this time? And he thinks that the old man can't see the daylight, why does he go into the mountains without his children and grandchildren to accompany him."

"I heard from others that Uncle Yue is an orphan and a widow, with no children around him." Anxiang said.

"Old Man Yue is not the only one on the top of the mountain. We don't need to worry too much." Wei Bingyan said softly, but her eyes were looking at the bustling island she saw a few days ago. "Let's go to that bustling island in the next two days."

Anxiang was confused, "Who else is on the top of the mountain? When we came down the mountain just now, were there any other believers?"

Wei Bingyan looked at her, smiled faintly and said nothing.

Fu Youqi and his two agile guards were naturally still on the top of the mountain at this time, but no one knew what they were doing there.

After returning to the small courtyard, Wei Bingyan went back to the house to wash up, looking refreshed, before going over to greet Old Master Wei respectfully.

Looking at his lovely granddaughter who was not at all affected by the rumors about Li Yuyan's internal injuries, Old Master Wei twirled his beard and said sarcastically, "It seems that you have really given up on that guy. Even if he came here to pick you up in person, you would not follow him."

Wei Bingyan sat down, filled her own cup of small-leaf tea, and looked at the fighting plates on the table. "Why did Grandpa say that? Am I really that mean?"

“After hearing that he was injured, you obviously smiled more brightly.” said Old Master Wei.

"Well, maybe he feels that he is trapped in his own trap." Wei Bingyan's lips slightly raised, and she seemed to be in a really good mood.

Old Master Wei laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "After this incident, that guy will definitely not dare to mess with you next time. After all, your personality is very similar to your grandmother's. But even if your grandmother had a little temper, she would not leave the house without paying any attention. Who did you learn this from?"

"How did Grandpa make Grandmother unhappy before?" Wei Bingyan asked puzzledly. In her memory, her grandmother was a gentle, touching and kind person. She had never seen her angry or unhappy with Grandpa.

"When I beat up your third uncle, I made her unhappy." It felt as if he had fallen into some very wonderful memories. Old Master Wei's expression softened, and his desolate and wise eyes, washed away by time, were filled with a gentle smile.

Wei Bingyan propped up her upper jaw and looked at Old Master Wei and said, "So, Third Uncle was beaten by you, so he went out and never came back?"

Old Master Wei glanced at her and asked, "Do I look like someone who would hit someone at will?"

"Then why doesn't Third Uncle come home? It's been so many years, and I almost forgot what Third Uncle looks like." Wei Bingyan said.

"It's time to come back soon." The old man thought of something, and the warmth on his face disappeared, becoming heavy.

Wei Bingyan had long been suspicious about the whereabouts of her third uncle. After hearing what the old man said, she became even more suspicious. If she was not mistaken... her third uncle did not leave on his own, but had accepted orders to do something.

Li Yuyan also disappeared without a trace for a while. After he came back, he had a secret conversation with the old man for a long time. Maybe he knew the whereabouts of his third uncle.

"You went out today. How do you feel about this place?" Old Master Wei curled his lips slightly, not wanting to talk about such a topic again.

Wei Bingyan picked up the small white piece and put it directly into the fighting circle, saying softly, "All the fishermen here are fishermen."

"Even if he is not a fisherman, he looks like a fisherman." After a pause, she said with a smile.

"You can live in seclusion on this island for many years, so that no one can tell your true identity. You can also see the endurance of those people. Whether they have changed their ways is another matter. If it's just..."

Old Master Wei lowered his voice, looking down at the scene of fighting, "I heard from others that Yu Yan also has clues. I wonder what they found."

Wei Bingyan frowned, "Could it be that there are really Japanese pirates here..."
