Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Fang Feiting has returned to the Fang family. With Fang Shengjing as the head of the family, no one in the family dares to refute his identity. These days, he has been following Fang Shengjing closely and has had several contacts with Gong Zhanxian. With the help of the guards left behind by Li Yuyan, he has indeed found out many secrets of the Gong family.

"...Gong Zhanxian and Linghu Longyan met several times behind the scenes. The guards stole this from the small room of Gong's house. Please take a look, sir." Fang Feiting followed Li Yuyan in the hope of getting help and returning to the Fang family to vent his mother's anger. Now that he has achieved his wish, he has absolute respect for Li Yuyan in his heart and is more loyal to him than before.

Li Yuyan woke up after losing too much blood. Wei Bingyan was still taking care of him. His face looked extremely pale and his voice was very weak, but his eyes were still sharp and wise.

What Fang Feiting presented was an ingot of silver, weighing ten taels, of very good quality, of 100% quality.

"This quality... is exactly the same as the official silver that was robbed thirty-five years ago." Li Yuyan said lightly. He had seen that batch of official silver on the bustling isolated island before, so he was able to distinguish it.

"In that case, the Gong family was in cahoots with the Japanese pirates who robbed government silver at that time!" Su Leiye said.

Li Yuyan coughed lightly, the vibration in his abdomen mentioned the injury behind him, and his brows couldn't help but frown, which made Wei Bingyan feel sad.

"The Gong family was not only in cahoots with the Japanese pirates at sea at that time, but they also probably participated in laundering government silver. However, their identities were well concealed, so they have not been exposed for many years.

Because Gong Zhanxian knew the secret at that time, he was able to threaten Fang Shengjing and control the Fang family for many years. The Fang family didn't know the true face of the Gong family. Because of the insatiable desire at that time, they were suppressed by the Gong family at any time and anywhere. "Li Yuyan said softly, this was his speculation.

There is little difference between this speculation and the indisputable fact.

"So what should we do now?" Fang Feiting asked. Although he deeply resented the Fang family for driving them out, he could not bear to see the entire Fang family being brutally annihilated because of the official silver issue. The only one who could help the Fang family escape this disaster was Li Yuyan.

Li Yuyan smiled lightly, "The bidding will be opened tomorrow. We will know what to do after tomorrow."

Fang Feiting responded, talking about the surprise attack that Li Yuyan encountered at sea this time, "...Since the opening of water transportation last year, those Japanese pirates at sea have not appeared for a long time, and the marine navy has been dispatched many times but has not been able to catch them.

My Lord, I feel that there must be a bigger force behind those pirates at sea."

Wei Bingyan clenched her fists, and when she thought of her Aunt Yin who had not yet been buried, a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.

Li Yuyan patted her back gently, comforting her quietly.

"I'll go over and see how Aunt Yin's funeral arrangements are going." Wei Bingyan tilted her neck and gave him a faint smile, then stood up and left the room.

After she left, Su Leiye said, "Sir, this matter must be manipulated by the Fourth Prince. He wants to put you in a desperate situation. The Gong family is his people, and there is no need to comment on this."

"We'll know soon." Wei Dongbi's sudden appearance here wouldn't be just to visit the old man, but he must be here on the emperor's orders to investigate something.

No matter what he came for, Li Yuyan was sure that the Gong family was finished this time.

"But...that Fu Youqi, my Lord, are you really going to relax and give the commander-in-chief's salary to him? What if he is the Fourth Prince's man?" Fang Feiting asked.

Li Yuyan had a resolute confidence in Fu Youqi, "Don't worry about Fu Youqi. There is no one more suitable than him to handle the official silver."

If he were to handle this case, the government silver might not return to the national treasury in the end. There was no doubt that he was completely loyal to His Majesty, but at the same time he had to prepare a safe retreat for himself, and to support the Sixth Prince...

As soon as he returned to Baiyue City, he would clean up the organization for His Majesty while making plans for himself and the Sixth Prince.

He originally thought that it would take more effort, but he didn't expect that the third master of the Wei family would come. He thought that many things could be handled without his personal involvement.

After instructing Fang Feiting on some arrangements for the next day, Fang Feiting and Su Leiye left.

Li Yuyan called Feng Qing in and asked him where Wei Bingyan had gone.

"Mrs. Wei came just now, and the young mistress must be talking to Mrs. Wei in the main hall." Feng Qing said.

……

When Xiao heard from others that her daughter was returning to Baiyue City, she was very happy. She couldn't help but think that the couple had finally reconciled. But who could have known that she would then hear from others that they encountered Japanese pirates on the sea, and Li Yuyan was seriously injured. Aunt Yin, who had been following Wei Bingyan closely, was seriously injured and died while trying to save her.

How could she sit down? Not long after Wei Bingyan and the others came back, she came here with her maid.

Wei Bingyan was much calmer than she had imagined. She felt that her daughter would be very sad about losing Aunt Yin, and with Li Yuyan seriously injured, it would be difficult for the family not to collapse.

"...Mom, I'm really fine. Don't worry that I will fall down." Wei Bingyan replied calmly. From the time Xiao entered the family until today, she had always looked at Wei Bingyan with worry, fearing that her resolute appearance was just an act.

She was very sad and very angry, but she had already shed tears when she should have collapsed and cried loudly. Even though she was still sad for Aunt Yin in her heart, she would not collapse.

Li Yuyan had his important official duties to attend to, and she didn't want him to be distracted by worrying about her at this time.

Xiao couldn't bear to bring up what happened that day again, fearing that her daughter would think of the horrific situation that day again, so she asked her other specific questions.

"I heard from others that you saw your third uncle. Is he going to visit the old man?" asked Mrs. Xiao.

Yes, Third Uncle! Wei Bingyan suddenly thought of the fact that the Third Elder of the Wei family, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared on the warship. "We just happened to meet Third Uncle in the sea. It was Third Uncle who stopped Linghu Longyan directly, so that Lord Zheng came to rescue us. Otherwise..."

She had heard Li Yuyan say that he had already sent a message to Lord Zheng early in the morning and asked these guards to come and provide support at any time, but they were all stopped.

Xiao was greatly surprised, "Linghu Longyan? Could it be that the Fourth Prince was colluding with the Japanese pirates at sea?"

Just mentioning the Linghu family will make people think of the Fourth Prince.
