Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wei Bingyan followed Xiao back to the Wei family. After sending away all the maids in the house, Xiao frowned and looked at Wei Bingyan, "Bingyan, did Mr. Ran teach you to draw the egg-yellow peony flower on the handkerchief?"

When in Jinyun City, Wei Bingyan mentioned Mr. Ran to Xiao. Today’s matter cannot be lied to. “Yes, that’s what Mr. Ran taught me.”

"So you brought it here sincerely, hoping to test Princess Ping'an?" Xiao's voice was a little serious. She did not forget what she had told Bingyan before, that Princess Ping'an was a noble lady who ran away from home despite having great skills.

Even if she had such thoughts deep in her heart, Wei Bingyan would not admit it at this time, "Of course not, I have been wearing this towel with me since I was in Jinyun City. How could I take it sincerely just to test Princess Ping'an."

Xiao's soft eyebrows relaxed a little, and she sighed faintly, "Many years have passed, and Princess Xianli has always been a taboo in the Prince Ping'an Palace. But today you are so angry that Princess Ping'an almost fainted."

Is Princess Ping An angry? It seems not. It seems that Princess Ping An misses her daughter too much.

"Princess Ping'an saw the egg-yellow peony flowers that Mr. Ran taught me to embroider, so Mr. Ran is this Princess Xianli?" Wei Bingyan asked.

"He's probably dead." Xiao said.

If Mr. Ran is Princess Xianli, then what about this skilled swordsman? Why would she be a teacher in Jinyun City instead of returning to the capital? Wei Bingyan was full of questions, "If Princess Ping'an asked, how should I answer?"

"To tell you the truth, Ms. Ran knows your identity and knows that you will return to the capital sooner or later, but she still taught you the embroidery method. I think she wanted to convey some message through you and Princess Ping'an." Xiao replied.

Wei Bingyan thought the same thing in her heart, "I know what to do."

Xiao knew that her daughter knew her limits and would not do anything to embarrass her. She felt relieved. Thinking of the Li Shizi she saw at the banquet, a warm and benevolent smile appeared on her lips. "Bingyan, did you see the Li Shizi just now? What did you think?"

"That's just the way it is." Wei Bingyan knew that her mother wanted to find a perfect husband for her, but Li Yunze was not her choice for this life. She wanted an extremely simple life, without intrigue and deception, and without trying every means to compete for favor and love. Li Yunze could not give her the life she wanted, and her prejudice against him had not disappeared.

"He is the most outstanding young man of noble status in the capital who has not yet married. I think he is unique and a perfect match for you." Mrs. Xiao didn't know why her daughter seemed to be very resistant to Prince Li. She felt that Prince Li was a good candidate.

Li Yunze is indeed a very good candidate. He now seems to be on good terms with the Sixth Prince, and he often interacts with the Crown Prince from time to time, and he has no conflict with the Fourth Prince.

In the end, the situation was clear, and the entire court was quietly surging with waves. However, no one could tell which faction Li Yunze belonged to. He wanted to stay out of it. Such a person would naturally not drag down his family in the future.

But whether he really stayed out of it, even Wei Bingyan, who used to be close to him, couldn't tell. Now, when she recalled it carefully, Wei Bingyan suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know much about Li Yunze's affairs outside. At that time, she was only concerned about revenge and her heart was not on him at all.

Seeing Wei Bingyan didn't speak, Xiao felt that she was hesitating, "I also know that Li Yuyan is good, but... I'm afraid your father won't approve of his background."

Ah? Wei Bingyan was stunned, "What's the relationship with Li Yuyan?"

"Don't you have any feelings for Li Yuyan?" Xiao asked in disbelief. At that time in Jinyun City, her daughter went to the Li family almost every day. Even if it was to learn medicine and acupuncture, could it be that after spending so much time with Li Yuyan, she really wouldn't be attracted to him?

She had been young once, and she knew that people like Li Yuyan were most likely to attract the hearts of little girls.

Wei Bingyan was both amused and confused, "Mom, why do you feel that way?"

"If not, you would have asked Bai Binghui to send him Ganoderma lucidum tablets. You, I gave birth to you, so I know what you are thinking. But since you don't like Prince Li, I can only advise your father not to arrange a marriage for you so soon. If Li Yuyan can pass the exam this time, there may still be a chance." Xiao said.

Wei Bingyan originally wanted to argue that she had no feelings for Li Yuyan and that his fate had nothing to do with her, but when she heard Xiao's last sentence, she immediately swallowed the words that were about to overflow from her lips. If she could avoid getting engaged to Li Yunze, then... so let this misunderstanding continue.

As for Li Yuyan, we will deal with it after he becomes the top scholar.

"Yes, I think the prince seems to like Miss Shen very much, but I don't know what Miss Shen thinks." Xiao said again.

"Of course I like him. Sister Shen has secretly glanced at the prince several times." Wei Bingyan said with a smile. She knew that if she told her mother that Shen Rouruo liked her father, her mother would definitely not believe it. Therefore, she said nothing and took advantage of the situation to push Shen Rouruo to the prince's side.

If the history of this life still does not undergo much change, then the prince will still step down in the end and become one of the dead skeletons under the emperor's throne. Then let Shen Rouruo go to hell.

"Very good." Xiao smiled.

In the evening, Wei Zhong came back and Xiao told him about Shen Rouruo.

Wei Zhong said, "Your Highness likes such a woman very much. I will go to the Shen family in a few days and tell Commander Shen about this matter."

"Why don't I go with you? We women are more effective in talking about things like this," said Xiao.

"Alright."

……

The next day, Wei Bingyan was preparing to go to Yinyuan and then work as a female doctor outside. Before she stepped out of Wanyuan, she heard from the little maid that someone from outside was looking for her and the lady asked her to go and meet him.

Wei Bingyan had no choice but to ask her maid to invite the person to the tea room.

I didn’t expect it to be Guan Hualang.

"Brother, why do you look so embarrassed?" Wei Bingyan looked at Guan Hualang strangely. He was still wearing the same clothes as the day before. His fluttering clothes were inadvertently stained with dust, and his eyes were filled with layers of red bloodshot. He looked as if he had not slept all night.

Guan Hualang smiled and rubbed his brows. His gorgeous smile didn't seem to show any fatigue. "Something happened to the medicine shop in the capital the other day, but it's nothing serious. It's just that I have to go home today and can't stay until my aunt comes. I would like to trouble my junior sister to find a comfortable house for my aunt in the capital..."

If there was nothing else, why would he be in such a hurry to go back? If the master wanted to go to the capital, why didn't he live in the Guan family's comfortable residence in the capital, but looked for another place?

Wei Bingyan was puzzled and looked at Guan Hualang with concern, "Big Brother, no matter what happens, you must tell me."

"It's just a minor trouble. I can deal with it when I go back. However, my uncle and aunt know that Yuyan is too conspicuous in the capital and are afraid that it will attract these troublemakers. That's why they want to enter the capital secretly and wait until my uncle finishes his work before going back." Guan Hualang said.

Wei Bingyan couldn't help laughing, and at this time she didn't forget to make a few insults to Li Yuyan. The only one left was Guan Hualang.

"Brother, please don't worry. I'll take care of everything." Wei Bingyan said.

Guan Hualang stood up and said, "I'm leaving first."

"Big Brother." Wei Bingyan called him loudly, "You should be more careful in everything."

"Uh!" Guan Hualang smiled, revealing Bai Jie's two neat rows of sharp molars.

After watching Guan Hualang leave, Wei Bingyan asked Aunt Yin to come in and told her that Madam Li would soon arrive in the capital and she didn't want too many people to know about it. "This matter... won't be known to mother for now. Find a reason to go out and find a comfortable house for Master. It doesn't need to be too big and it should be quiet nearby."

Aunt Yin sighed and was very happy that Mrs. Li would arrive in the capital soon.

"I saw that the eldest brother came and went in a hurry. I thought something happened to the Guan family. Aunt Yin, do you have any clues?" Wei Bingyan asked. Aunt Yin came from the Guan family and should know more about the situation of the Guan family than she did.

"I'll go find Manager Xu and ask him about it." Aunt Yin's eyes were filled with worry. "When the owner of the manor is at home, nothing will usually happen."

Wei Bingyan said, "If nothing serious had happened, Senior Brother wouldn't have rushed back so quickly. Go and find out."

Aunt Yin responded and left the room quickly without staying any longer.

There is no way to see the female doctor today. Wei Bingyan plans to go to Yinyuan to play chess with the old man. Sometimes she benefits a lot from listening to the old man talk about the rumors before.

After Wei Bingyan went to Yinyuan, another distinguished guest came to the Wei family.

After Shen Rouruo got up today, she hesitated for a long time before she decided to come to the Wei family to find Xiao. She knew that Xiao wanted to actively act as a matchmaker for her, but she had a sense of belonging in her heart and did not want to be betrothed to any prince. She must make this matter clear to Xiao.

Walking quickly into the Wei family's garden, Shen Rouruo's eyes trembled slightly, wondering if she would happen to meet him today.

She never knew that falling in love with someone was a matter of seconds. They had only been together a few times, but she felt as if they had known each other for centuries...

When they arrived at the main gate of the Xiao family's courtyard, a woman with bright eyes and bright eyebrows stepped out. Although she was no longer beautiful, her body was still graceful and her skin was moisturized. She looked timid and cowardly. When she saw Shen Rouruo, she immediately bowed.

The maid who led Shen Rouruo on the road bowed to the woman, "Aunt Qiu."

It's Wei Zhong's concubine! Shen Rouruo couldn't help but raise her head and look at her carefully. She looked familiar. After thinking for a while, she remembered that she had seen her on the way back to the capital. It seemed that she had a son.

"Miss Shen is here, and Madam is waiting inside." Aunt Qiu said softly.

Shen Rouruo nodded and was about to walk into the gate of the courtyard with a smile, when she saw another gentle and handsome figure stepping out. It was Wei Zhong.

"Lord Wei!" Shen Rouruo blushed, bowed hurriedly, and tilted her neck to reveal a beautiful and gentle smile.

Wei Zhong couldn't imagine seeing Shen Rouruo here. He smiled lightly, asked her hello too politely, and without saying much, he walked away quickly with his head held high.

Shen Rouruo stared blankly at his figure disappearing from her sight, feeling very sad deep down inside, wondering why she hadn't run into him earlier.

"Miss?" Lianyi looked at Shen Rouruo's obsessed eyes and was secretly surprised. Could it be...

"Let's go in, so Madam Wei won't have to wait too long!" Shen Rouruo didn't notice that Aunt Qiu was nearby, and she led Lianyi into the courtyard gate.

Aunt Qiu frowned and looked at Shen Rouruo, then looked at Wei Zhong's disappearing figure, her eyes full of confusion.
