Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

After passing the wide street, you will reach the Wei family.

Wei Bingyan remained silent and walked slowly. The gatekeeper had already opened the door when she stepped out of Li's Mansion, and bowed to her respectfully.

Anxiang followed Wei Bingyan closely, and deep down she couldn't calm down because of what Li Yuyan had just said.

Having been in the Wei family for so long, Wei Bingyan had always trusted her, even more than she trusted Xing'er, but this was the first time she heard from others that the old man was working for the prince!

Crown Prince... This word was not unfamiliar to her. It had only been three years, and she had grown accustomed to the status of a humble servant from a spoiled young lady. However, some resentments could not disappear with the passage of time.

It turned out that the Wei family was also doing things for the prince, just like her father. But I was 100% sure that there were few people in the capital who didn't know what happened to her father.

She tilted her neck to look at Wei Bingyan. She really didn’t want someone as kind-hearted as Wei Bingyan to have the same fate as her. She didn’t want the Wei family to be abandoned by the prince in the end…

However, she couldn't say these words. Her identity couldn't be exposed, otherwise she would die.

She still wanted to live to take revenge, even though to her, it was like a worthless and naive ant going against a violent axe.

No matter what, she was going to give it a try.

While Anxiang's thoughts were spinning, Wei Bingyan was also thinking about Li Yuyan's words.

In her previous life, she only wanted to destroy the Wei family. This burning resentment burned all her feelings for the entire Wei family.

If Li Yuyan hadn't reminded her, she would never have thought about the future prosperity or decline of the Wei family.

Now thinking carefully, she realized that she had never thought about this question in her previous life. Wei Zhong worked wholeheartedly for the prince, but after the sixth prince ascended the throne, the Wei family did not have much influence.

Other brothers were demoted and transferred to other places for various reasons, or even had their positions revoked.

If she had not prepared carefully for more than a thousand days and nights, doing her utmost to wipe out the Wei family, perhaps the Wei family could have been more prosperous for a long time.

How could the Wei family avoid the prince's involvement...

Even if the new monarch is kind and doesn't care, it is impossible for the Wei family to continue to become powerful. The more I think about it, the more curious I become.

Maybe you have to go back to the capital to find out why.

Wei Bingyan sighed softly in her heart, temporarily putting those problems out of her mind, quickened her pace, and appeared in the main room to meet Xiao.

Wei Zhong did not show up tonight, so Xiao had dinner alone. As Wei Bingyan had not returned yet, she asked someone to warm the meal first. She had already asked the maid to report that the girl had returned, and she had already ordered the meal to be served.

"Mom." Wei Bingyan had already put on a happy expression when she entered the main room. After bowing, she sat down next to Xiao intimately. When she saw that Xiao didn't look very well, she asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with mom? You don't look very well."

Xiao rubbed her forehead, her face showing fatigue. "Your father sent someone back to tell us that there will be a big banquet at home tomorrow. I just assigned each housekeeper to do something. I am a little tired. After all, they are not used to it. I didn't bring many people from the capital. They are all from this courtyard. They don't know the basics well enough."

Wei Bingyan frowned, "A grand banquet for distinguished guests? What distinguished guests? Why didn't you tell me about the preparations a few days ago? It's really rushed."

"This is the roster of guests for the banquet. Some of them I have seen before and some I have not. Your father was worried about my poor health, so he sincerely invited these relatives to come. He will warmly entertain these elderly people in the courtyard." Xiao said.

"How can this be called taking care of you? He just feels that if a banquet is held to entertain these ladies, they cannot do as they please in the courtyard..." Wei Bingyan couldn't help but blame him. How could she not understand Wei Zhong?

How could he care about his mother's hard work? He only cared about whether he could be happy and whether he could gain more benefits for the prince.

Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by a look from Xiao, "Bingyan, why do I feel that you are not as close to your father as before this time? It seems that you have a lot of opinions?"

Wei Bingyan felt secretly horrified. Was her hatred towards Wei Zhong already so obvious?

He couldn't let his mother see it. After all, Wei Zhong hadn't done anything to really hurt his mother. "No, mother, I just feel bad for you."

Xiao smiled brightly, "Relax, I can still handle it. How are you doing with your master?"

When talking about what she learned today, Wei Bingyan immediately became excited, "I like it very much. Master is amazing. Mom, I really like learning what Master taught me."

"That's great, let's eat quickly and rest early after this."

Wei Bingyan accompanied Xiao to finish dinner, exchanged a few private words, and then returned to her own room.

Xing'er recently felt that she had lost the girl's trust, and she was deeply uneasy. She always felt that if she continued like this, she would never be able to make a breakthrough. She spent the whole day thinking about how to let the girl train her again, but with Anxiang around, the girl seemed to have slowly forgotten about her.

"Miss, you're back. I'll prepare some warm water for you to soak in, okay?" Xing'er came over with a pot of strong tea and asked attentively and enthusiastically.

"Uh, go and get ready." Wei Bingyan felt a dull pain in her chest and nodded in agreement as she immersed herself in the warm water.

There was only Anxiang in the room serving her.

Looking at Anxiang who had remained silent since she came back from Li's house, Wei Bingyan knew her emotions at the moment. Anxiang must be resentful of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince. If it weren't for them, how could her family be broken up?

Now that she knows clearly that the Wei family is a dark force, will she turn resentment into hatred?

Wei Bingyan didn't let her chat about the prince, she also wanted to see Anxiang's reaction.

She glanced at Anxiang several times under her eyelids, but saw that she wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she endured it and said nothing.

Wei Bingyan lowered her head and took a sip of tea with a faint smile in her eyes. Anxiang said nothing and it would be the opposite. If she couldn't endure it, she would be the one who would be killed in the end.

There is indeed nothing to say now, because neither Wei Bingyan nor Anxiang has the ability to resist the prince.

After a while, Xing'er prepared the warm water and personally helped Wei Bingyan take a bath.

Wei Bingyan sat in the bathtub, the hot water surrounding her body. She sighed comfortably and looked at Xing'er beside her. She said softly, "Xing'er, we are going to have a big banquet tomorrow. I don't think the madam will have enough staff. You can go over and help tomorrow."

Xing'er had long wanted to prove her ability, and when she heard Wei Bingyan say this, she immediately nodded with a smile and agreed.

The next day, Wei Bingyan went to the academy in high spirits. Mr. Ran displayed their works from the previous day and asked everyone to comment on them.

"Bingyan, the peony you embroidered is very beautiful." When Yang Tang saw Wei Bingyan's work, he was surprised to find that Wei Bingyan's needlework skills were so good. Although the peony was not as good as the one embroidered by Mr. Ran, it was also very lifelike.

"Look more carefully, that is not a peony flower." Wei Bingyan said with a smile.

"It's Ceylon rosa!" someone exclaimed with emotion, "I have a Ceylon rosa at home. Although it is similar to the peony, it is still different."

Yang Tang opened his eyes wide and looked carefully for a while, "It feels like... it's indeed a little different."

"No matter how good the Ceylon balsam is, it is not as good as the peony." Someone said this in a sour tone.

Mr. Ran looked at Wei Bingyan with a smile, "Why do you want to embroider Ceylon red medicine?"

The peony and Ceylon brocade are called sister flowers and are very similar, so some people may mistake them. But she was already wearing a beautiful dress embroidered with peony flowers that day, so why did Wei Bingyan also embroider Ceylon brocade?

Wei Bingyan replied, "The teacher asked us to embroider towels casually that day, and I didn't know what flowers to embroider. When I saw the golden peony flowers on the hem of the teacher's skirt, I liked them very much. However, I knew that my skills were not as good as the teacher's, so I could only embroider Ceylon rosa. I didn't have the courage to embroider peonies to avoid eclipsing the flower king."

Mr. Ran smiled and said, "If your skills were not taught by a famous person, you must have worked hard in the past. Come to me and learn seriously. I really don't know what to teach you. Why don't you embroider the peony today?"

"Yes, sir." Wei Bingyan sighed helplessly in her heart. She was very curious about Mr. Ran's background, but if she really had to do exquisite needlework every day, she was sure she couldn't handle it.

Mr. Ran arranged their daily homework and gave them some careful advice. Then, no one knew where he went. Just like the previous day, everyone handed in their work and officially went home from class. Wei Bingyan embroidered a blooming peony again.

Wei Bingyan was extremely excited as she could go to her master again in the afternoon.

When I got home and just walked into the spacious front door, I could faintly hear the sound of professional musical instruments coming from here, accompanied by loud and happy cheers.

"What's going on?" Wei Bingyan frowned and asked her mother-in-law who was waiting quietly at the second door.

"The old man is hosting a banquet for his guests," replied the mother-in-law.

Yes, I almost forgot about this. Wei Zhong is going to hold a grand banquet for his guests today, but hearing this sound, it seems extremely excessive!

Wei Bingyan looked impatiently at the spacious main hall where the voice came from, then strode towards the main room.

Before she even entered the room, she saw Xia Yuezhu approaching with a sullen look on her face, "Miss, the mistress is in a very bad mood. You'll have to persuade her more."

"What's the matter?" Wei Bingyan asked. Could it be that he was tired?

"I don't know who sent two beautiful maids to the old man. The old man checked them out for the house last night. When the mistress got the news this morning, her face has been grim!" Xia Yuezhu said softly.

Wei Bingyan's face darkened.
