Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

"You little bitch, what do you think you are? You are just a lowly servant, yet you have learned to act like a vixen. You are such a shameless ungrateful bastard."

This shrewd and harsh voice sounded like the owner of a young girl.

"Beat her hard, beat her hard, beat this shameless bitch to death. If she can't be killed, sell her to that...that place." The extremely indulgent voice was filled with raging anger, and he even cursed without considering the occasion.

Xiao came from a scholarly family and hated girls who beat and kicked servants and spoke indecently. When she heard the voice getting louder and louder, her brows furrowed.

Among the maids, there was one who was wearing a dark red floral-cross-collared short jacket and a silver skirt. She looked about thirteen to fourteen years old, charming, with a slightly round face. However, she held a long, thin whip in her hand, which made this pretty little girl less attractive.

Next to such a little girl, there knelt a maid in rough linen loose-colored clothes. Although she was a maid, her appearance was surprisingly stunning, with an oval face, big eyes, and a small mouth. She was even more beautiful than her master.

Xiao Bingyan looked at the maidservant in a bit of surprise. Even when being scolded by her master, she didn't say a word. She just knelt there with her back straight as a benchmark, and her eyes were open and honest.

She seems to be a maid with a special personality, so how could she be the vixen that the girl mentioned?

It wasn't that they were nosy and slowly approached, but the place where the girl was packing the maids was near their carriage, and Xiao Bingyan took a few more glances out of curiosity.

It seemed that she had noticed Xiao Bingyan's look. The girl glared at her fiercely. When she saw that Xiao Bingyan was prettier than her, her face became even more unhappy.

As if to vent his anger, he mercilessly whipped the maid, "Don't think that just because Brother Li praised you, you can climb up the ladder and become a phoenix. Don't you look at your own status?"

The maid endured the pain and did not ask for forgiveness. She said neither arrogantly nor humbly, "Second Miss, I didn't think that way."

"How dare you talk back!" The girl snorted and swung the whip again.

Xiao and Xiao Bingyan had just walked near their carriage when they saw such a vicious move by a girl and couldn't help but feel some pity for the maid.

"I don't have the courage! I know my identity and never dare to think too much. Just by listening to what others say, you are completely sure that my thoughts are impure. I don't want to say more." The maid gritted her teeth and spoke with pain.

This maidservant was quite a character. When Xiao Bingyan heard her reply, she developed a liking for her. After she helped Xiao's hand into the carriage, she stood aside and looked at her seriously.

When his eyes fell on the three red moles under the maid's ears, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Is it her?

"What are you looking at!" the girl shouted at Xiao Bingyan.

"Second Miss!" An older maid beside her called her loudly and whispered in her ear.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked directly at the carriage behind Xiao Bingyan with a strange expression.

"Miss, the madam asked you to get in the car." Xiao He spoke softly to Xiao Bingyan.

Xiao Bingyan didn't say anything. She walked to the maid and looked at the other side of her face. There were also three red moles connected together.

As expected, it was her. Xiao Bingyan was secretly delighted and turned to look at the girl. "Girl, since you don't like this maid, why don't you sell her to me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the girl was shocked, but even the maid also looked surprised.

The girl instinctively wanted to whip him, but was stopped by the maids around her, who whispered in her ear, "Second Miss, this girl is from the capital, the daughter of Dingyuan Marquis, you can't mess with her."

"What do you want her for?" The girl threw away the whip fiercely, pushed away the maid who tried to stop her, and looked at Xiao Bingyan unhappily. She had no idea why the noble young lady of Marquis Dingyuan wanted to buy this vixen from her.

Xiao Bingyan smiled and said, "It seems that we are destined to meet, young lady. This is a Buddhist holy place after all. It is for peace of mind. It is not worth it to make yourself unhappy for a slave. Besides, most of the people who come in and out here are noble people of high status. It is not worth it for you to ruin your reputation for her."

The girl looked at her maid, then at Xiao Bingyan. She was originally planning to sell such a lowly slave, but since Miss Wei had taken a fancy to her, she might as well do her a favor. "Since you like this slave so much, take her away."

"Her indenture?" Xiao Bingyan asked with a smile on her face. She didn't know who this girl was. She thought she was from a wealthy family in Jinyun City. She acted so domineeringly, but he was willing to do her a favor. He should know her identity. This was better. No need to waste words.

"I'll send someone to take her directly to your house later." The girl curled her lips and pointed the whip at the maid, "You lowly servant, you are lucky today. Don't use your shameless tricks again, otherwise..."

She glanced at Xiao Bingyan and said, "You will die even more uglier."

The maidservant lowered her head slightly, feeling a very bitter feeling in her heart. From such a master to that master... there was no difference, she was still a slave.

"Get up." Xiao Bingyan gently raised her hand and quickly helped her up. "What's your name?"

"Miss, my name is Jinju." Jinju replied softly, the pain in her body made sweat break out on her head.

Xiao Bingyan raised her eyebrows lightly, "What's your original name?"

"Anxiang." After being hesitant for a while, she finally said her previous name, which was the name her mother gave her before she became a slave.

Xiao Bingyan laughed, "From now on, just call her Anxiang. Sister Xiaohe, help her onto the carriage and go back to find a doctor for her."

The carriage was very spacious, and with the subtle fragrance it didn't seem congested.

Xiao Bingyan leaned on Xiao, smiling mischievously and cutely, but she did not explain much, nor did she ask Anxiang anything else. She just asked Xia Yuezhu to pour her a cup of strong tea.

Anxiang thanked Xiao and Xiao Bingyan softly before expressing her gratitude to Xia Yuezhu. She took the exquisite cup of water and gently put it to her lips.

In her previous life, she had seen this woman twice. If she hadn't had her sharp eyesight to see the red mole under her ear just now, she wouldn't have been able to tell it was her.

Anxiang, whose original surname was Ling, his father Ling Di was originally a military advisor to the prince. He offered advice to the prince and was highly trusted by the prince, who cultivated him vigorously.

The Fourth Prince suffered a lot at the hands of Ling Di, so he framed him and forced the Crown Prince to abandon his plan to save his own.

Before Ling Di was imprisoned, he ordered his servant to take his daughter away. Who could have known that the servant, while escaping from the relentless pursuit of the army, had evil intentions, robbed Ling Anxiang of her money, and sold her to a human trafficker as a slave...

This incident happened three years ago, and Bingyan only heard about it from others after she entered the palace.

No one knows how Ling Anxiang met the Sixth Prince. All we know is that she helped the Sixth Prince deal with the Crown Prince with all her heart. After the Sixth Prince ascended the throne, she was named a noble lady.

While Bingyan was reminiscing, the carriage slowly drove into the majestic city wall and soon returned to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Xiao didn't say how to settle Anxiang, as if he wanted Xiao Bingyan to make the arrangements herself.

Xiao Bingyan instructed Xing'er to clean up a room for Anxiang in the courtyard, and sent the maid in the mansion to invite a doctor, and then appeared in Xiao's main room.

"Mother." Xiao Bingyan gently lifted the curtain and saw Xiao leaning on the beautiful woman's bed, then she walked to her side with a smile.

Xiao looked at her and said, "Does that maid please you so much? You are not usually so enthusiastic like this."

"I just like it when I see it. Doesn't mother like it too?" Otherwise, how could she allow her to ask for favors from that girl?

"Only time can reveal a person's true character. We need to wait and see what kind of person he is. Let him stay at home for now," said Xiao.

Xiao Bingyan's eyes were filled with smiles, "Yes, mother."

"Okay, I'm tired too, you go and do your thing." Xiao was a little tired, and Xiao Bingyan walked out of the room gently.

Xiao's body was very weak. Just by going out for a walk, she could see how weak Xiao was. Xiao Bingyan saw it and was extremely anxious in her heart. She wanted to find a miracle doctor who could completely cure Xiao's illness as soon as possible.

After coming out of the room, Xiao Bingyan went to Anxiang's room. The doctor had just prescribed a prescription for her. The maid had already gone to boil the medicine for her, and Xing'er was applying medicine on her whip wounds.

"Miss" saw Xiao Bingyan come in, Xing'er stood up and bowed.

Anxiang was only wearing a piece of underwear, revealing her snow-smooth back, which was covered with a layer of red scars, which looked extremely painful. There were also many ugly scars that had healed but remained, which looked like they were left a long time ago, all caused by whipping.

"Miss..." Anxiang pulled her underwear up and put it on, then bowed respectfully.

"Okay, lie down." Xiao Bingyan didn't let her get up. She took the plaster from Xing'er's hand and asked her with a frown, "Were all your injuries caused by the master of that family?"

An Xiang frowned slightly and said softly, "Some of them were beaten by human teeth."

Xiao Bingyan carefully pulled down her underwear and applied the medicine to her personally, "Is the girl who hit you from Jinyun City?"

"Miss, I can't bear it. I'd better do it myself." Anxiang didn't expect Xiao Bingyan to help her apply the medicine personally, so she turned around and wanted to get up.

Xing'er also felt that Anxiang could not bear the young lady's personal application of medicine, so she hurriedly said, "Young lady, let me help her apply the medicine."

Xiao Bingyan glanced at Xing'er calmly and said to Anxiang, "Lie down, this is nothing."

Anxiang felt embarrassed and didn't have the courage to let the noble Xiao Bingyan apply medicine.

"Lie down, I have something to ask you." Xiao Bingyan's voice turned cold and firm, as if no one could refuse her.

"Yes!" An Xiang hung her head and returned to the new bed once again, formally answering the question Xiao Bingyan had just asked, "She is the daughter of County Magistrate Xie of the South City District. I only came to the Xie Mansion to serve her last year."

Xiao Bingyan raised her eyebrows, "You are really too indulgent. Do you get beaten often?"

An Xiang curled her lips slightly, "It's not that they fight often, it's just that she met Mr. Li today, and he...what he said didn't suit Miss Xie's taste, so she got angry."

"Just rest and recuperate here. No one will beat you in my place." Xiao Bingyan helped her apply the medicine very gently, and her voice was very gentle. She had no good impression of Li Shao mentioned by Anxiang, and thought he was just an ordinary second-generation ancestor.

"Thank you so much, Miss." Anxiang's eyes suddenly became moist. It had been a long time since anyone had been so nice to her.

Xiao Bingyan smiled gently, helped her apply the medicine carefully, then repeatedly told her to have a good rest, and asked a little maid to take good care of Anxiang, then she went back to the house with Xing'er.

Xing'er didn't like this sudden appearance of Anxiang. She felt that she had taken away her position in the girl's eyes. She wanted to talk to the girl about something, but was afraid of saying something wrong. She had to hold her anger and think about how to stabilize her position in the girl's courtyard.

The next day, Miss Xie personally delivered Anxiang's indenture contract directly to Xiao Bingyan.

It was not that Miss Xie wanted to send over the indenture contract, but after returning home, Mrs. Xie and Mr. Xie heard from others that Miss Wei from the capital had taken a fancy to their maid, and they were eager to take this opportunity to make friends with the Wei family, so they sent Miss Xie over early and repeatedly told her to get along well with Miss Wei.

The Wei family is one of the four major families in the capital, and how many people want to establish a relationship with them?

"I'm so sorry to trouble Miss Xie to deliver them personally." Xiao Bingyan warmly entertained Miss Xie in the Fenfang Hall and asked Xing'er to bring some desserts.

Miss Xie smiled and said, "Miss Wei, there's no need to be so polite. It's just a small matter. Isn't Jin Ju that woman efficient? If she doesn't behave, just scold her... and talk about her."

Xiao Bingyan just smiled slightly and said, "It's a nice fragrance. I like it very much."

"So that woman's name is Anxiang. Haha, Miss Wei is truly talented. She even gave her maid a poetic name." Miss Xie forced a few smiles with an unnatural look on her face. She really couldn't find anything to talk about with Xiao Bingyan.

Xiao Bingyan and Miss Xie were speechless and just exchanged a few simple words while listening to Miss Xie's objective comments on every girl in Jinyun City, such as which young man was popular and which girl was annoying.

Finally, Xiao Bingyan had to interrupt her and said that she wanted to give her the money from selling Anxiang's body.

Miss Xie hurriedly said that it was not necessary and that she wanted to give Anxiang to Xiao Bingyan sincerely and not ask for a single cent. If she took the Wei family's silver, her parents would definitely be unhappy when she returned.

Seeing that she was still adamant about not accepting the silver, Xiao Bingyan did not force it on her. After saying a few more words, she handed her some tea as a gift and said goodbye.
