Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Chapter 382 The Old Master’s Considerations

You have to understand that the Sixth Prince is truly tall, rich and handsome, and ordinary people would not be able to refuse his proposal.

Wei Bingyan was stunned, unable to come to terms with Mrs. Li's strong logic.

"mother?"

Madam Li said, "The emperor feels that the Sixth Prince still has ties to you, and is afraid that he will lose Yu Yan, his devoted and devoted confidant, so he wants to get rid of you first?"

Wei Bingyan also had the same attitude, so she felt extremely angry.

"You should pretend to be unwell for the next few days and don't come into the palace." When Mrs. Li saw Wei Bingyan's expression, she naturally realized that her guess was indeed correct.

"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever." Wei Bingyan said, but she hasn't thought of any way to deal with it head-on.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "We don't have to hide for too long. We can stop hiding when the old emperor dies."

Yes, it is true. As long as the emperor dies, no one will want Wei Bingyan to die.

Thunder God also once said that the emperor's health was getting worse and worse, which was actually a subtle reminder to her.

"It's a deal." Mrs. Li said, "We'll talk about it when Yuyan comes back. I'll announce to the public in the next few days that you collapsed due to overwork."

Wei Bingyan nodded in agreement.

However, when the news that Wei Bingyan fell ill just after returning spread, many people who cared about her became worried, especially Xiao. After hearing the news, she came to Li's house immediately, only to see Wei Bingyan teasing Abao with a cheerful look on her face, which did not look like she was ill at all.

"Mom, why are you here?" Wei Bingyan held Abao and walked towards Xiao. The smile on her face was as bright as the sun, and there were a few small, crystal beads of sweat on her forehead, which were caused by the tiredness from playing and fighting with Abao.

Xiao looked at her strangely, "What's going on? Didn't you say you were sick?"

Wei Bingyan said with a smile: "I just came back, and I want to spend more time with Abao, so I have to close the door and say goodbye to you."

This was something Wei Bingyan and Madam Li had agreed on. They kept it a secret from Xiao so that she wouldn't know that the people in the palace wanted Wei Bingyan dead, so they had to use this reason as an excuse.

Xiao glared at her, "Really? You scared me and the old man to death."

"How is Grandpa's health?" Wei Bingyan asked hurriedly. She felt that she was being very disobedient. She should go visit the old man.

"It's a little better now. He can walk normally with a cane, but he's not as healthy as before," said Xiao.

Hearing that the old man was able to stand up and walk normally, Wei Bingyan breathed a sigh of relief. That was already very good. "I told the old man that I can visit him in a few days."

Xiao smiled and said, "If he knew your little trick, he might come to your house to scold you."

If the old man heard her reason, perhaps he could guess the real reason. Wei Bingyan was really afraid that the old man would guess it.

Seeing that Wei Bingyan was fine, Xiao went back after not staying in the Li family for long. As soon as she entered the house, Old Master Wei sent Luzhi to ask about Wei Bingyan's situation, and Xiao went to answer him in person.

When Old Master Wei heard Xiao jokingly calling Wei Bingyan a monkey, his face froze slightly, and he did not curse Wei Bingyan like he did in the past.

Feeling that the old man was angry, Xiao spoke up for her daughter, "Old man, Bingyan just wants to rest for two days. She actually misses you very much in her heart."

"Go and call Uncle Hai over." Old Master Wei instructed Luzhi, and then said to Xiao, "I understand. Let her have a good rest. You go first."

Xiao didn't say anything, she just bowed respectfully and said goodbye.

Uncle Hai was soon found by Luzhi.

Old Master Wei looked at him seriously, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Old Master, what are you saying..." Uncle Hai paused. Could it be that the old master knew what the young lady asked him to hide?

Wei Bingyan was worried that the old man would be so angry after knowing the truth that it would affect her health, so she told Uncle Hai not to say a word after he came back.

"Don't hide it from me, tell me the truth, what happened?" the old man asked loudly.

"The young lady told her subordinates not to tell you." Uncle Hai said awkwardly, "Old Master, please don't ask."

"Is someone trying to hurt Bingyan?" The old man guessed it right.

Uncle Hai managed to force a smile that was uglier than crying, "Old Master..."

"What else can hit me now? Tell me." Old Master Wei's voice was indescribably lonely.

Even if he didn't tell her, the old man would definitely go and question the young lady himself, which would make the old man's body even worse. "On the way back, Lei Gong respectfully received the order to pick up the young lady. When she was resting at the post station, she found that the young lady's food was poisoned."

Although Old Master Wei had foreseen such an outcome, when he heard Uncle Hai's words, he still stepped back a foot sadly and fell into the recliner.

Uncle Hai walked over and supported him steadily, "Grandpa, take good care of yourself."

"Eunuch Lei did not kill Bingyan." If Eunuch Lei had taken the initiative to attack, Bingyan would have had no chance of returning to the capital safely.

"Yes." Uncle Hai nodded, "It was Eunuch Lei who protected us as we returned to the capital."

Old Master Wei asked again, "Did no one attack Bingyan during the journey?"

"Three groups of people came, all of them showed up in the dead of night, and were secretly dealt with by subordinates and Thunder Eunuch. Judging from their skills... they were palace guards..." Uncle Hai said.

"Why did he do this!" The old man asked this question in a serious tone. His youngest son, whom he valued so much, had been made unable to return home, so why did he not even let his lovely granddaughter go? Could it be that the emperor's mood was really as he said, that he was capricious?

Uncle Hai didn't know how to comfort Old Master Wei.

"Go and get ready. I'm going to see Bingyan." said the old man.

"Old Master, the young lady asked her subordinates to hide the secret from you because she didn't want you to worry. You... the young lady is still sick." Uncle Hai hurriedly intercepted him.

Old Master Wei's stubborn personality came to his head, "It's because she's sick that I'm planning to go see her. Hurry up and get the car ready!"

Uncle Hai had no other options, so he had to prepare the carriage. Old Master Wei called Luzhi over and asked her to change his clothes.

Ever since Old Master Wei fell ill with a stroke, he has not gone out. Even when His Majesty asked him to go to the palace to talk during his free time, he did not go. This is the first time he has gone out in such a long time.

When Xiao heard from others that the old man was going to look for Wei Bingyan, she was stunned for a moment and then hurried over, wanting to persuade the old man not to go, but ended up being scolded away by the old man with a cold face.

"This... this old man's temper is getting weirder and weirder." Xiao whispered softly, feeling very helpless as she watched the carriage carrying the old man going farther and farther away.
