Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Xiao Shi didn't move at all, and didn't take Wei Zhong's anger to heart. She asked Li Ma to go over and see how the two brothers were packing, and then she looked at Wei Zhong lazily, "I told you two days ago that I would take advantage of the good weather and set off for the capital with the two children."

"I didn't agree!" Wei Zhong shouted with a sinister look on his face.

"Grandpa, I won't ask you for your opinion anymore. I just want to tell you that I will take my two brothers back to the capital. After all, the capital is the root of the Wei family. A Rui needs to learn knowledge now, and A Sheng also needs to learn rules. It is very suitable for them to stay in the capital." Xiao said lightly.

Wei Zhong was furious. Those reasons were not reasons at all. Why hadn't they been mentioned before? "You just want to piss me off. Don't think I will give in to you just because of this."

Xiao smiled slightly, "How dare I ask you and me to bow down to you, old man? I and you have always been kind and flattering to you, but now it's different. We can't let the two children learn some bad habits in the future."

"You... no matter what you say, you just want to threaten me?" Wei Zhong's face was swollen with anger. Xiao had been betrothed to him for many years, and she had never ignored him like this. After all, he had a low official rank and no real power, so she looked down on him.

"Grandpa, you misunderstood. The old man also wanted to return to the capital to spend his remaining years in retirement." Xiao said.

Wei Zhong said coldly, "Don't you have a mistress? Even if you return to the capital, there are still the young couple to take care of the old master. Why do you worry about it?"

"The Third Master left Baiyue City the day before yesterday." Xiao gathered the neat and refreshing hair beside her ears and replied with a faint smile.

"Where did he go? He left without saying a word. Where on earth did he put such a fortune?" Wei Zhong shouted angrily. He felt that his status in the Wei family had become less and less important. It seemed that anyone could do whatever they wanted without asking for his opinion.

Xiao laughed mockingly, "Old Master drank too much last night and passed out. The next day he dreamed that the sun was three feet high and the Third Master waved goodbye to you reluctantly. You even told people not to wake you up with any noise, but now you want to blame the Third Master for not telling you?"

Wei Zhonglao felt a little embarrassed. He had completely forgotten what he had said and done the day before.

"If you want to go back to the capital, go back by yourself, and leave the two children behind!" Wei Zhong said in a dry and stern voice.

"I can't leave both of my children. If the old man disagrees, then I'll have to ask Grandpa to make the decision." Xiao never thought that he would make things so difficult for her. Wouldn't he be more comfortable and at ease if she took the two children back?

"Don't use the old man to pressure me!" Wei Zhong snorted, "If you want to go back, go back. Don't regret it later!"

Xiao smiled slowly, looking at Wei Zhong with a hint of sadness in her eyes, "I have done many things that I regret, but I will not regret it this time."

Wei Zhong walked away and ignored Xiao.

Watching Wei Zhong's increasingly bloated figure disappear beyond the thin curtain, a sarcastic smile appeared on Xiao's lips. The good boy whom she treated wholeheartedly at that time has now become almost an irrelevant stranger to her. Whose fault is this?

Regret? What could he make her regret?

Wei Dongbi and Li Yuyan had left Baiyue City long ago, and Wei Bingyan's life suddenly became quiet. Although the wives of officials in power often visited her from time to time, Wei Bingyan rarely interacted with them.

Moreover, she was not good at dealing with people head-on and was not good at being smooth with everyone. On the contrary, she preferred to read books and drink tea alone in the quaint corner pavilion in the garden.

Mrs. Li sent her a lot of unique secret books on medical skills some time ago. Wei Bingyan read them with great interest and vaguely wanted to go out and practice medicine.

"Madam, everything prepared for Madam is ready, but are we going to send them to our children and in-laws' wives now?" Xian'er, wearing an orange jacket, came over in small steps, bowed, and asked Wei Bingyan in a crisp voice.

Wei Bingyan put down the book in her hand and said, "Mother will leave Baiyue City tomorrow. I will go there myself. You go and load the things into the carriage."

Xian'er responded, bowed her head and immediately said goodbye to do her work.

"I didn't expect Xian'er to be so well-behaved when doing things." Bai Binghui said to Wei Bingyan with a smile.

An Xiang nodded, "Fortunately, she is different from Yang Er."

Wei Bingyan smiled but didn't say anything. She closed the book and said, "It's still early. Let's go to mother's place and then go to Guan's pharmacy."

She had asked people to inquire about Guan Hualang's news before, but she didn't know if there would be any response now. She always had a bad feeling deep in her heart.

Appearing under close surveillance, Xiao was busy dealing with the affairs of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home. She handed over the power of the family director to Li Xiaoshi. This surprised Wei Bingyan very much. She didn't expect that Xiao would trust Li Xiaoshi so much.

Li Xiaoshi originally had no deep and terrible ambitions against Wei Zhong, let alone competing with Xiao for the power to be the head of the family, so naturally she was unwilling to agree. Later, under Xiao's suggestion, she finally agreed reluctantly.

Wei Bingyan went to visit Old Master Wei first.

"My aunt, you've come at the right time. The old man suddenly fainted when he got up today, and I was just about to send someone to tell you." When Luzhi saw Wei Bingyan, she hurried over and talked about the old man's recent health condition.

"Grandpa must have secretly drunk a lot of alcohol over the past year, and he didn't have any concerns about his daily meals." After hearing this, Wei Bingyan knew what was going on with the old man.

Luzhi's eyes turned red with regret, "It's all my fault."

Wei Bingyan said, "That's none of your business. If the old man wants to do something, how can you stop him? For the sake of the old man's health, you must not indulge him anymore."

"I've remembered it clearly." Luzhi directly opened the curtain for Wei Bingyan.

Old Master Wei's groaning voice sounded immediately, "You come to scold the maid in my courtyard so early in the morning. Woman, you are getting more and more courageous."

"Grandpa, no matter how fierce you act, you can't scare me." Wei Bingyan smiled and walked over to the old man, sitting down next to him and holding his hand. "It's for your own good that I asked you not to drink. In fact, it's okay to drink occasionally, but you have to control yourself regularly."

"The old man has always had very regular control over it," the old man snorted.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the beating pulse, and the old man's demeanor was also good. "That's liquor. You drank several glasses at once. How can you talk about regular control?"
