Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream
Chapter 7 Mysterious Man
Wei Bingyan was just suspicious at first, but she never thought that there was really someone there. When the man's voice suddenly sounded, she was scared to death. She suddenly took two steps back and looked at the place where the voice came from warily.
"Who is it?" She frowned and looked around. There were not many people serving in her spacious courtyard, and she sent them all back to the house to wait. At this time, she didn't see a single figure.
"Miss, don't panic, I'm really not a bad person." A tall figure appeared in the sea of flowers, half the height of a person. He was thin and looked very young, about sixteen to seventeen years old. It was just that the night was dim and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Judging from the general outline, he should be a handsome man.
"Who are you? Why are you here? Someone come here..." Xiao Bingyan opened her mouth and called for someone. She was not like other girls who lived in seclusion and turned a deaf ear to external affairs. Looking at the man in front of her and thinking of the soldiers searching outside, she naturally thought of the origin of this young man. He was the thief that the government was searching for now.
The soft sword in the man's hand moved, slashing a dazzling light under the night sky, and the sharp tip pointed directly at Xiao Bingyan, and then he pleaded pitifully in a low voice, "Miss, don't shout loudly, I will definitely not hurt you, just listen to me quietly."
Xiao Bingyan's expression changed slightly, her eyes drooping with a cold and piercing look, "The soldiers outside are looking for you. If you dare to hurt me, you won't be able to escape from here."
"Miss, why don't you believe me? I am a really good person. I fight for justice and protect the good. I am clearly a peerless hero. What thief? That's just nonsense!" The man said seriously, taking the sharp tip away from Xiao Bingyan's neck. "Miss, do you think I look like a bad person with ulterior motives?"
Xiao Bingyan really didn't know where to start. This man did... did not look like a thief, but he wasn't a good person either. How could she tell? The bad guy with ulterior motives didn't have the word "bad guy" written on his face.
Moreover, this man appeared in her courtyard at that time. If the news got out, it would be very bad for her reputation. It would also damage the reputation of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
"That's good. Since you are not a bad person, go and plead with the government. Why are you hiding here? If you are really a good person, how could you not know that you will only be a burden to others if you stay here?" Seeing that he really had no intention of hurting her, Xiao Bingyan's expression calmed down and she stared calmly at the man in front of her.
The man had a regretful expression. As a martial artist, he had always been free and unfettered. He had never thought that those wealthy families would have so many rules. He just thought that Xiao Bingyan was afraid that the government would make things difficult for her, so he smiled and said, "I will definitely not be a burden to you, young lady. I will hide here and wait until those soldiers leave before leaving. Young lady, you don't need to worry about me. It's absolutely true."
Xiao Bingyan really didn't get angry but smiled instead, "Hurry up and leave, or my maid will come and you won't be able to escape."
The man said gratefully, "Miss, you are really a good person. Actually, I went to the wrong door. I was going to look for my aunt on the opposite side. Who would have known that I accidentally looked at the wrong door...Miss, don't worry about me. I will definitely get out safely."
Who cares about his safety? Xiao Bingyan was so angry that she saw a figure walking slowly nearby, so she said quickly, "My maid is here..."
Before he finished speaking, the man had already stood up and flew onto the eaves. With one leap after another, he was immediately covered by the night. It seemed that his Qinggong was quite good.
Xiao Bingyan looked at him in surprise as he disappeared without a trace. Such a man was really... Should I say he was innocent or superficial?
It is really difficult for a person who roams the world to have such pure and open thoughts and to survive and become a great thief.
"Miss, why are you still standing here?" Xing'er turned back and looked at Xiao Bingyan in confusion. She looked around. She seemed to hear the girl talking to someone just now.
"I just feel that the night view is nice tonight and I want to take a closer look." Xiao Bingyan smiled gently, turned around and went back to the house.
She didn't believe that there were kind-hearted people in this world. Such a man didn't hurt her, and she didn't want to cause trouble. Besides, if she had called for help to catch the thief, he would have escaped to who knows where. There was no problem that she had brought him here directly.
But this little thief is really an honest man, not like the cunning and treacherous fellows who work at the docks.
Xiao Bingyan suddenly stopped her brisk steps, and her clear eyes suddenly lit up.
That guy just now seemed to say that he had walked into the wrong door and wanted to go to the opposite side to look for his aunt... Opposite side? Isn't that the private residence of the Marquis of Jinyun City?
The Marquis of Jinyun City is surnamed Li, and has complete ties with their Wei family, but Xiao Bingyan knows the name of the Marquis' son by heart. She was able to defeat Wei Zhong in her previous life, which was closely related to Marquis Li. She does not recognize Marquis Li, but recognizes his son, Li Yuyan.
Thinking of that good man who was the most handsome man in the whole capital, Xiao Bingyan shook her head slightly and stopped thinking about her past life.
No matter who in the Li Mansion is a blood relative of this little thief, it has nothing to do with her.
Not long after Xiao Bingyan returned to the inner room and sat down, the soldiers outside went in to conduct a thorough search. However, the Wei Mansion's courtyard was filled with female relatives, so they did not dare to stay too long. They searched outside the courtyard and left quickly.
"Xing'er, go tell the mother-in-law who is guarding the door to assign two more people to take turns guarding tonight." Xiao Bingyan instructed Xing'er after thinking it over.
"Yes, miss." Xing'er saw Xiao Bingyan sitting at the desk, and knew that the lady would study again tonight, so she quietly withdrew. After giving Xiao Bingyan's instructions, she made a pot of strong tea and placed it next to the desk before going outside to guard.
Xiao Bingyan craned her neck to look at her increasingly smaller figure, then continued reading without moving her eyes. The flickering flames of two green lamps illuminated a hazy figure behind the curtains in the room.
After reading half of the medical book, Xiao Bingyan felt sleepy. She put on her clothes and lay on the bed, thinking about what happened that day, and remained silent late into the night.
The next day, Xiao Bingyan went to the main room early in the morning to greet Xiao. Seeing that Xiao was in better spirits than the day before, she felt happy in her heart. She felt that Doctor Zhuang's medicine was very effective and should be able to completely cure Xiao's old illness.
After chatting with Xiao for a while, Xiao Bingyan returned to her own courtyard. Before she even entered the inner room, she heard others say that Anxiang was coming to give her a gift.
After two days of careful nursing, Anxiang's condition had improved and her complexion no longer looked as pale as a piece of white paper.
"Thank you very much for helping me out of this difficult situation. I am deeply grateful. Thank you very much, young lady." Anxiang kowtowed three times to Xiao Bingyan and spoke in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.
Xiao Bingyan looked at Anxiang carefully and said, "Get up. I saved you out of kindness. I didn't really want you to be my slave. If you don't want to stay, I will return your indenture to you."
An Xiang suddenly raised her head and stared at Xiao Bing Yan, her eyes seemed to be filled with all kinds of emotions. Soon, the light in her eyes dimmed and her voice trembled slightly, "I am very happy to stay by your side and serve you, Miss, please let me stay."
It's probably not time to do what she wants to do! Xiao Bingyan smiled gently, "Then you can stay. If there is a better way forward, just tell me."
An Xiang was touched and bowed in return.
It wasn't that Xiao Bingyan wanted to let go of the troubles in her past life. She accepted Anxiang only to leave a safe retreat for the Wei family who supported the prince.
