Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wei Bingyan held her breath and quickly left the study.

She knew clearly why Wei Zhong wanted her to send an invitation letter to Li Yuyan. It was nothing more than wanting to recruit him for the prince. The prince must have gone to Mr. Baili's house to look for Li Yuyan, but was rejected. Therefore, Wei Zhong had to try his best to meet Li Yuyan and make such a promising man his own person for the prince.

It was really funny. In his previous life, Wei Zhong had spent a lot of effort to win over this person but failed. Could it be that this time, by hoping that she could make Li Yuyan change her mind?

"Miss?" Anxiang tilted her head to look up and down at Wei Bingyan's face. She knew that the young lady must be in a gloomy mood, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

"The weather has been extremely hot these days. It's really not a good time to host a banquet." Wei Bingyan looked at the plump leaves, her expression calm and ruthless.

Anxiang looked at her and felt that the thoughts of such a younger lady were difficult to understand, as if she had deeper unknown secrets than her.

"Bai Binghui should be back, let's go back too!" Wei Bingyan immediately withdrew her eyes, hung her head and walked back to Wanyuan.

Of course she would write the invitation letter, but whether Li Yuyan would come after reading it was his business. Wei Bingyan raised her lips slightly.

Back at Wanyuan, Bai Binghui had returned as expected. She served Wei Bingyan some frozen sour jujube soup and said, "I went to Mr. Baili's place to look for my cousin... Mr. Li, but the ward was unwilling to report that Mr. Li was closed and would not receive guests. It just so happened that the young master came out, and I saw him."

Bai Binghui was originally a maid in the Guan family. Although she had been with Wei Bingyan for some time, she still couldn't avoid making inappropriate remarks.

Wei Bingyan didn't care about Bai Binghui's small mistake at all. This was also a strong proof that Bai Binghui was someone who would never forget her master. "Does the senior brother also live in Mr. Baili's place?"

"Yes, of course I live with Young Master Li. Young Master Guan told you not to worry about them. They live very well at Mr. Baili's place, but there are too many flies, which is annoying." Bai Binghui imitated Guan Hualang's expression and tone, and shouted with wide eyes.

"That's why you kept the gatehouse closed, right?" Wei Bingyan laughed. "Have you told my words to Senior Brother?"

"Well, I told you that Master Guan will come to see the young lady in two days." Bai Binghui said.

Wei Bingyan drank a mouthful of the sour jujube soup. In this scorching hot climate, having a bowl of refreshing jujube soup was really a real enjoyment. However, she didn't seem to feel the clear taste. Her eyes were a little heavy, and I don't know what she was thinking about.

Li Yuyan probably kept the door closed because the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince went looking for him.

"Bai Binghui, please go out again later and get some desserts and fresh fruits for the eldest senior brother and the others. By the way, ask him to convey a message to the third senior brother. The exam is approaching, so you must take good care of your health. The weather is very hot now, so when you study hard, you must stay in a cool and comfortable place, and don't get exposed to the heat." Wei Bingyan warned softly.

Bai Binghui felt strange deep down in her heart, and felt that the girl seemed to have taken off her pants to fart, which was unnecessary. However, seeing that the lady's face was abnormal at this time, it was not easy to say anything, so she agreed, "Yes, Miss."

After sitting for a while, Wei Bingyan asked Anxiang to grind ink for her patiently as she wanted to write an invitation letter.

It's written for Li Yuyan!

Anxiang and Bai Binghui could both read, so when they saw the invitation letter written by Wei Bingyan, they couldn't help but look confused. Why did she write an invitation letter to Li Yuyan at this time?

It seems that the young lady has been looking a little strange since she came out of the study. Does this invitation letter have anything to do with the master? Master Wei should be the prince's man, right?

Thinking of this, Anxiang's heart suddenly sank.

"Anxiang, take this invitation letter to the master's study." After the ink on the invitation letter dried, Wei Bingyan asked Anxiang to deliver it to Wei Zhong.

The detailed content of the invitation letter is written in a proper manner, and there is nothing to be harsh about.

Just as An Xiang was about to reach out her hand to take it, Wei Bingyan put it down again, "Let's send it over later. Bai Binghui, go and have a rest first. After lunch, take the nameplate and immediately send the fresh fruit over to Senior Brother."

The maid in the house was going out to get the nameplate from her mother. However, she only needed to tell her mother that she forgot to send some fresh fruits to the eldest brother in the morning, and it was no problem for her to go out again now.

Anxiang's pupils moved, and she suddenly understood why Wei Bingyan asked Bai Binghui to go out again. She suddenly felt as if she had seen this lady more clearly, and there was an inexplicable happiness in her heart.

Today, Xiao was busy taking over the household affairs again, so she naturally had no time to pay attention to Wei Bingyan asking the maid to go out and deliver fresh fruits to Guan Hualang and Li Yuyan.

A few days ago, these housekeepers came to reply, and they expressed their opinions about the second lady's previous housekeeper. When Xiao was in charge of the Wei family's courtyard, she had always rewarded and punished people, and did not employ people if she doubted them, and did not doubt people if she employed them. But after the second lady took over, she often attacked the people who were used by Xiao, and even wanted to replace them.

Fortunately, the Second Lady did not trust enough people. She had to deal with the Second Master's concubines and think about how to seize the throne from the Xiao family. Naturally, it was difficult to succeed. Until the return of the Xiao family, she had not accomplished what she wanted to do.

The Wei family already has a history. Not to mention the supreme glory of being the mistress of the house, the assets accumulated by the Wei family over the years are the most attractive. Whether it is the second wife or the former concubine Lian, they all acted beyond their capabilities. Without a sufficient status, how could they have enough capital to preside over this wealthy and prestigious family?

Therefore, Xiao didn't care at all about the tricks that the Second Madam played when she was away. If she didn't have enough confidence, she wouldn't dare to stay in Jinyun City for so long.

Now that she is back, those housekeepers are like having a big tree to provide shade for them. They will naturally go about their business. They know exactly who should be fired and who can be kept. Those housekeepers she personally brought out are all well aware of this.

"Now that I'm back, there's no need to disturb the Second Madam. Just tell me if you have anything to say. Alright, everyone go downstairs and do their work. Madam Wei, go and give each of them some of the specialties I brought from Jinyun City." After hearing the housekeepers' replies and knowing what had happened in each room over the past three years, Xiao nodded with a slight smile.

After expressing their condolences, they were allowed to leave.

"Thank you, Madam!" Everyone kowtowed hurriedly to express their gratitude.

"Madam, you've been tired for a long time. Do you want to take a rest?" Xia Yuezhu asked softly when she saw Xiao copying the account book. Although there were many things to do after just returning, she also had to take care of her health.

Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, it will take a while to finish reading this account book, let's go to the second lady."

Putting down the account books, Xiao took Xia Yuezhu to the second lady's courtyard.

"Hey, sister-in-law, you actually have some free time to come to me today. You don't have to be busy giving instructions to these housekeepers?" Wang didn't expect Xiao to come at this time. She greeted her with a smile, but her tone was inevitably sour.

Xiao pretended not to notice her sour jealousy and said with a smile, "I brought several pieces of floating silk from the north from Jinyun. They look very nice when worn."

Wang's eyes suddenly brightened up. "Floating Light Silk? Oh, how can this be good? This floating light silk is a very precious thing in the capital, and only a few ladies in the palace can wear it."

"I knew you always loved beauty. You must like this floating silk, so I brought a few more pieces with me on purpose. They are all the most popular colors this year."

"What woman doesn't like beautiful things?" Wang looked at the floating silk on the table with reluctance, and the smile on her face became more sincere. "Sister-in-law, is there something urgent that you are looking for me?"

Xiao said with a smile, "Do I have to have something to do before I can come sit here with you?"

"That's not what I meant. You just came back and are very busy. It's rare for you to sit here with me." Wang said.

Xiao drank a mouthful of tea and said slowly, "Actually, I really have something I want to ask you. At the beginning of the year, the Chu family sent a betrothal gift, but because I was not at home, the wedding date has not been set yet. The second young lady is twelve years old this year, and no matter how fast it is, it will not be until the year after next. But the date should be set earlier, right?

My master told me the other day to immediately set a wedding date with the Chu family, so I thought, since you have always been in charge of the Second Miss's affairs, why don't you help me and take care of the Second Miss' affairs first."

"Leave this matter to me. The Chu family sent it a few days ago, but I haven't gone to get it done yet. I will go to Yuanfen Temple to get it done tomorrow." Since Wang had benefits to gain, she naturally nodded and agreed.

"Thank you for taking this trip." Xiao said gratefully.

Wang smiled and said it was just a piece of cake, "By the way, although the Second Young Lady is in your hands and is your biological Second Young Lady, she still doesn't have the habit of serving you tea. Shouldn't she..."

Xiao picked up the teacup directly, with a calm and peaceful expression and a full smile on her face, "It doesn't matter whether you drink this tea or not."

These words encompassed a lot of meaning. Wang smiled without saying anything, and her emotions were straightforward. She felt that Xiao didn't want the second young lady to be a legitimate daughter at all, but it was the old man's wish and she couldn't go against it.

Less than half an hour after Wang's sitting there, Xiao left. Just as she returned to the main room, she heard Xiao He come to reply, "Madam, the old man asked the young lady to go to the study."

"To the study?" Xiao was stunned. Wei Zhong rarely let his family go to the study. "What are you going to do with Bingyan?"

"The young lady just returned to her room, and I didn't go to check." Xiao He said.

Xiao nodded, "Ask her later."

"The second young lady came just now and said she wanted to give you her respectful greetings." Xiao He said again.

"She came alone?" Xiao asked coldly.

"Yes! Since you are not here, I will talk for a while and come back later." Xiao He replied.

Xiao said, "If she comes again, tell her that I have already gone to bed."

"Yes, ma'am!" Xiaohe agreed.

After Xiao rested on the couch, Bai Binghui took the nameplate and went to give Guan Hualang some fresh fruits. Guan Hualang, somewhat confused, took the fruits and went to find Li Yuyan, and conveyed his junior sister's words in detail to Li Yuyan.

Li Yuyan had heard this, but he just raised his eyebrows and remained silent as he looked at the fruits. Not long after, the invitation letter that Wei Zhong had someone send directly arrived.

"Such a little junior sister is really interesting!" Li Yuyan smiled faintly and said to the servant who delivered the invitation letter: "Go back to the Wei family and tell them that the exam is approaching and I need to study hard, so it is inconvenient for me to attend the banquet. You can visit me another day."
