Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream
Chapter 56 Back home
Not long after Guan Hualang entered the city wall, he came to say goodbye to Wei Bingyan and Xiao. Although he was Wei Bingyan's senior brother, it was impossible for him to gain a foothold in the Wei family. The Guan family had a foothold in the capital, and his purpose was to find Li Yuyan.
Wei Bingyan did not ask him where Li Yuyan was now, nor did she ask why he came to the capital so early. She thought that Li Yuyan had his reasons for everything he did, and she did not want to know too much.
Along the way, Xiao was very fond of such a lively man and asked him to visit the Wei family more often before parting with him.
The layout of the capital is different from that of other cities. If you look down from a high place, the main area of the capital is in the shape of a field. After entering the city tower and going straight along Wangjing Road, you will see the majestic imperial palace with red walls and yellow tiles.
Wei Bingyan sat directly in the carriage, and just gently lifted the curtain and kept looking forward, as if she saw a magnificent palace radiating the power of the superiors.
The Wei family is located in Beihua Alley, not far from the magnificent imperial palace.
There is only one house owned by the Wei family in Beihua Lane. The house covers a very vast area. It is a symbol of material wealth and power left by the ancestors of the Wei family from all dynasties.
"Madam, Miss, we're here." After entering from the city wall, about half an hour later, they finally arrived at the gate of the Wei family.
Above the bright and spacious main entrance, which carries a strong sense of desolation, is an exquisite black lacquered plaque with two vigorous and powerful words written on it: Wei Mansion!
Wei Bingyan looked towards Xiao. She knew that after returning here, she and her mother would become different. Although her appearance could not tell, she could still feel that her mother's aura seemed sharper.
Xia Yuezhu got out of the car first, placed the footstool properly, and then opened the car curtain.
Nanny Wei, who had been guarding outside for a long time, came over immediately and personally helped Xiao down by the arm, with a happy smile on her round, snow-white face, "Madam, you're back!"
"Madam, Miss!" The maids behind Nanny Wei all lowered their bodies and bowed respectfully to the mistress of the house who was the last to return.
Xiao looked at Wei Mama and saw the excitement in her eyes after a long absence. They smiled at each other and then looked at everyone, "Everyone, get up."
"Madam, I'm glad you're back!" Butler Wei, who had remained silent all this time, stepped forward, bowed to Xiao, and forced a faint smile on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work during the days I was away." Xiao looked at Nanny Wei and Butler Wei earnestly and spoke softly.
Madam Wei and Steward Wei hung their heads at the same time, "I don't have the courage to bear the hardship of Madam."
Xiao looked at the servants by the door again and stroked her brows, "Is the master back today?"
Wei Ma Ma replied formally, "The master is in the old master's room. He knew that you were coming back today, so he came home in advance."
"Let's go and pay our respects to your father and grandfather!" Xiao tilted her head and said to Wei Bingyan. After that, she ordered everyone to move the bags on the car back to the main room little by little.
For some reason, standing outside the Wei family's door, Wei Bingyan could not suppress the feeling of unfamiliarity. As far as she could remember, she had not stepped into such a home for ten years. Now, she had to continue living in a place that once made her grit her teeth and feel heartbroken.
Her heart is now very calm. She no longer has the intense resentment she had before. After all the people died in her scheme, she no longer has any resentment. She only wants to change the fate of her and her mother. What she needs now is no longer resentment, but the courage to change and the strategy to deal with fate.
Only when I calmed down did I think of a solution, and realized how difficult this task was.
Wei Bingyan thought silently as she held Xiao's hand and walked up the stairs. Xia Yuezhu and Xiao He followed closely behind, while Xiao and her two personal maids stayed behind to help pack the luggage.
Not only her, but also Xia Yuezhu and Xiaohe became more cautious after returning to such a super family.
After entering the spacious main gate, there is a courtyard with a row of houses facing north. The academy for the young master of the Wei family is located here. Wei Bingyan just took a look and saw no changes.
Before entering the auspicious gate, two small cars with green pottery glaze were parked. When the maids saw Xiao coming over, they lowered their bodies and bowed respectfully, "Madam, Miss."
After the old lady passed away, Old Master Wei moved out of the main house and lived in a courtyard with fresh air behind the house, which he personally renamed Yinyuan.
Wei Bingyan had a deep impression of this great-grandfather. When she was raised by her grandmother, she often saw the great-grandfather and grandmother quarreling. The two had been married for many years, but they became estranged because of a trivial matter.
However, no matter what kind of conflict they had, the two old people would forget it as soon as they turned their heads. Wei Bingyan understood best how deep their emotions were.
Only Wei Bingyan understood best that the old man missed his grandmother so much that he took the trouble to move to Yinyuan!
However, Wei Bingyan understood that even though the old man lived in Yinyuan and seemed to be isolated from the world and didn't care about worldly affairs, he actually still had a great influence in the Wei family and even the entire court.
If her grandfather had not died of illness in her previous life, she would not have been forced to that point by Shen Rouruo!
As Wei Bingyan recalled, the car had already appeared outside the gate of Yinyuan's courtyard.
"My humble servant greets Madam. Madam has been looking forward to your return. Everyone in the family misses you." The maid Lvzhi from Old Master Wei's room came out to greet her. She saluted Xiao with a smile and then looked at Wei Bingyan. "The young lady has grown taller and is becoming more and more beautiful."
Wei Bingyan's eyes were slightly wet as she thought of her grandmother who had devoted herself to guiding her in the past. Lvzhi was her grandmother's personal maid who had always braided her hair. She could be said to be the maid who had watched her grow up. "Sister Lvzhi, long time no see. You're getting sweeter and sweeter."
Now was not the time to chat about friendship, Luzhi quickly turned over and stepped aside to make way, "Madam, young lady, you'd better go in quickly, the old man has been thinking about you since early morning."
Xiao and Wei Bingyan entered the gate of the courtyard and walked towards the main house.
"Hey, my sister-in-law is back!" The thin curtain was lifted, and a fat woman stepped out. She looked to be between 25 and 26 years old, with a long face and thin lips. She was dressed in rich clothes, and her voice was a little hoarse. She was the second wife of the Wei family, Wang.
"Second sister." Xiao smiled gracefully.
Wei Bingyan lowered her eyebrows and bowed obediently, "Second Aunt."
"Come in quickly!" Wang smiled. "I was thinking of going out to pick you up in person, but I didn't expect you to be here."
The room was brightly lit, and they could immediately make out that Old Master Wei, who was sitting in the first seat, was looking up at them with a kind and gentle smile in his eyes. His face, which had been washed away by time, was full of wrinkles, but it could not conceal his majestic aura.
Sitting directly to the lower right of Old Master Wei was Wei Zhong, and behind him stood several of Wei Bingyan's elders and brothers.
Wei Bingyan's eyes swept across Wei Bingru's face, and as expected, she saw an angry look on her face.
"Father, I'm back. I feel guilty for not being by your side to serve you and greet you all these years. Thank you for your magnanimity, father. However, I..." Mrs. Xiao felt very grateful when she thought of her father-in-law's magnanimity towards her. If it weren't for Old Master Wei's permission, how could she have lived in Jinyun City for three years.
Old Master Wei raised his hand to block Xiao's words, "You're back, I'm glad you're back. No need to say anything else. You look a lot better than before. I heard from Zheng that you were lucky to have a miracle doctor, so you were able to recover."
"Yes! Thanks to Mrs. Li's treatment, my daughter-in-law is in much better health now." Xiao answered softly.
"Great, sit down and talk!" Old Master Li said softly.
Wei Bingyan approached and bowed deeply, "Grandfather, Bingyan is back too. Did you miss me?"
"Haha!" Old Master Wei laughed. "Girl, why do I miss you? You just come to my place to steal good things all day long. I will be happy only if you don't come back."
"Grandpa, what you said is not right. Every time I take something good from you, I will give you something in return. This is not called robbing, it's called mutual exchange!" Wei Bingyan tilted her head, flashing her bright eyes, and spoke quietly, no longer calling him grandfather.
In the entire Wei family, only Wei Bingyan dared to speak to the always stern old grandfather in such a way.
It's not that Wei Bingyan is bolder than others and dares to challenge the old man of the Wei family. When the old lady was still alive, she was also polite to the old man Wei and didn't dare to act rashly.
It was after the old lady passed away that, in order to prevent the old man from indulging in longing and grief, she mustered up the courage to find reasons to come to him, or like the old lady, sometimes even quarrel with him. Over time, the old man developed a different attitude towards her.
"Would you like to exchange a few desserts for my fine Shifeng Biluochun tea?" Old Master Wei asked unhappily.
Wei Bingyan smiled and said, "Grandpa, you have so much incense, don't be so stingy, I really brought you something good this time!"
"Bingyan, don't act rashly around Grandpa!" Wei Zhong couldn't bear to watch any longer. He didn't even dare to be too lax around his father. It was good for him to have a daughter like this. She really thought that she could gain her father's attention and became more and more presumptuous.
Old Master Wei just laughed loudly and said, "I want to see what good stuff you can bring me. Okay, get up quickly, let me see how much taller you have grown in three years."
Wei Bingyan opened her lips at a nice angle and stood up.
This scene of deep affection between grandfather and granddaughter had different tastes in the eyes of everyone in the room. Except for Wei Bingru, the other sisters and brothers were extremely envious of Wei Bingyan, but they all felt that this was normal. Since Wei Bingyan was the only one of the direct bloodline, the old man treated her differently, probably for this reason!
Wei Bingru was actually eager to come up and tear off Wei Bingyan's fake face. She was envious and jealous of her.
"Second sister!" Someone beside her secretly pulled Wei Bingru's sleeve, and Wei Bingru thought of going over to salute Xiao. Suppressing the reluctance in her heart, she walked over with others and saluted Xiao.
Xiao asked them all to stand up with a smile.
Wang, who was sitting directly next to Xiao, smiled and said, "Since sister-in-law is here, the house feels a lot more lively."
Old Master Wei looked at everyone in the room, frowned and looked directly at Wang, "Where is Sheng Rong?"
