Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wei Bingyan felt even more uncomfortable as the youngest in the Li family. Although the old lady was not talking about her, her words in front of the Xiao family made it seem like the Xiao family was not doing a good job in educating their daughter.

Wanyan Weiyou, on the other hand, was carefree and relaxed, treating it as just Mrs. Li's words in a very distinctive song, and was still happily eating the mutton skewers.

When Mrs. Li saw this, her face turned blue with anger.

"Madam, the hot stove is too hot. I didn't invite you over for your own good. Didn't you say you were not feeling well?" Mrs. Li asked.

"I'm afraid you'll feel worse eating with me here." Old Mrs. Li snorted, "Mrs. Wei, what's the point of talking about old age? It's better to die if you're hated at home."

Xiao said, "Madam, you are too harsh. An old man in the family is like a treasure. In fact, everyone respects you."

Wanyan Weiyou drank a mouthful of the thick soup, sighed with satisfaction, and then said: "Mrs. Li, you said so much just to eat it, so just eat it if you want to."

"I'm not doing it for food!" Old Mrs. Li almost jumped up. She was dealing with her two daughters-in-law who didn't take her seriously!

Such an old lady is really speechless! Mrs. Li sat down, "We all know the old lady's punishment. Bai Binghui, go and prepare tableware for the old lady. Old lady, we will definitely inform you no matter what we do in the future. We will never dare to disrespect you."

Although the speech was not very interesting, the old lady still accepted it reluctantly.

Bai Binghui quickly brought the tableware, and Mrs. Li invited the old lady to the upper seat, "Old lady, what do you want to eat?"

Others looked at each other in dismay and sat down, eating in silence.

The old lady took a look at the dishes on the table and realized that they were all raw and not what she liked. She frowned. Could it be that he would ask the kitchen to prepare some dishes that she liked for her?

Mrs. Li just focused on cooking thin slices of meat for Ah Sheng and ignored the old lady's instructions.

The atmosphere is not as positive as before.

The old lady only realized this after eating for a while. Her face looked even uglier. She felt that she was totally redundant. After taking a few bites of the fresh and tender Chinese cabbage, she threw away the wooden chopsticks, said that she was full, and left angrily with her maid.

Returning to the house again, she felt aggrieved again, and asked her maid to go to the main hall to inquire about the news. She learned that the old lady there was smiling again and fell on the big bed gasping for breath.

The next day, old Mrs. Li was so sick that she couldn't stand up, so Mrs. Li and Cheng had to go to her bedside to take care of her. Mrs. Li wanted to take her pulse herself, but she said that Mrs. Li wanted to take this opportunity to kill her, so she asked a doctor to see her. Mrs. Li said that her abdomen was uncomfortable, and then she said that her head hurt. Generally speaking, no part of her body felt comfortable.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Cheng tried their best to tolerate her.

In a blink of an eye, several days passed. Old Mrs. Li became addicted and found it difficult to quit. She had Mrs. Li and Cheng serve her medicine and meals all day long, which finally gave her the sense of dignity of being a queen.

Mrs. Li tolerated her for a few days, knowing that the old lady was pretending to be ill on purpose, and that she was becoming more and more addicted to it and finding it hard to quit. She decided to stay here to recuperate and not go back, knowing that if she continued like this, the old lady would definitely want more.

We can only think of a way.

"Why is the medicine so bitter today?" The old lady took the medicine from Cheng, drank a sip and almost vomited it out.

Mrs. Li said, "The old lady's condition has not improved, so the doctor changed the prescription today."

What kind of prescription for treating illness was modified? It’s even more bitter than the full-bodied Du Heng!

The old lady didn't want to take the medicine as prescribed by the doctor, but her two daughters-in-law looked at her with concern, so she had no choice but to force herself to drink it.

After drinking the vomit-inducing medicine for a few days, the old lady's illness was finally cured.

Mrs. Li was pleased to have her personal maid quietly take the plump Du Heng away from the kitchen and abandon him, and actively invited Mrs. Li to go with them to soak in the hot springs and climb the peaks.

Whenever the old lady said she didn't want to go, Mrs. Li would reply with what she had said in the main hall that night, saying that she did this because she didn't want her to feel disliked again.

Because of what had been said before, the old lady had no choice but to go even if she didn't want to. After a few days, she was so tired that she almost died, and immediately asked Cheng to return to the capital.

Cheng was still thinking of asking Madam Li to help find work for her two sons in the capital, so she naturally didn't want to go back so soon. However, she couldn't go against the old lady's wishes, so she kept her two daughters-in-law.

Who would have known that after having gone through so much trouble to send the old lady away and thinking that life could be free and comfortable again, news came from the capital that the Empress Dowager had passed away.

The Empress Dowager passed away, and Madam Li and Madam Xiao, both of whom were third-rank officials, naturally had to return to the capital to mourn.

As for Wei Bingyan, who had an unusual relationship with the Empress Dowager, it was impossible for her to continue her leisure vacation in Dinghushan.

So the golden phoenix returned to its nest and only stayed in Dinghushan for a month or so.

At this time, heavy snow was falling in the capital, and everything was covered in white. The thin branches of the giant trees at both ends of the team were covered with icicles, emitting a crystal clear light under the sunlight.

They set out and returned that very night. Asheng and Abao were very small, and they followed the wet nurse and the maid and gradually walked forward.

The solemn spirit banners were hung on the city walls, and the entire capital city fell into a sad mood.

When the Empress Dowager was still the Empress, she was already very popular among the people.

Twenty years ago, when the capital was hit by a severe drought, she took the lead in cutting expenses in the palace, personally left the palace to distribute porridge to the people, and fasted in the Huguo Temple for a month, begging God to help the Tang Dynasty.

I don’t know if it was because her sincerity was heard by God, or because of the current weather, but after a month, the sky was really covered with rain. Therefore, the common people who remembered this incident at that time all admired the Empress Dowager.

Wei Bingyan was not aware of this matter until Xiao brought it up when she returned to Beijing.

Apart from the incident with the Fourth Prince, the Empress Dowager was actually a very kind and generous person, Wei Bingyan thought sadly. She had already expected the Empress Dowager's soul to return to the netherworld, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Originally, she should have been able to live a longer and happier life, but after what happened with the Fourth Prince, she must have felt very bad.

After running to the city, they separated on their own. People hung spirit banners on their doorsteps, and many families even set up exquisite incense burners to mourn.

Wei Bingyan looked bitter.

When they returned to the Li family, they realized that everyone in the family had changed into light-colored clothes. Wei Bingyan and Mrs. Li immediately went back to the house and changed into light-colored clothes.
