Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

She was scolded by Prince Ping'an for treating the study of medicine as a joke, and accused by Imperial Physician Li of having a childish mentality. It felt as if a little girl like her was desecrating medical skills and bringing great humiliation to all doctors in the world.

She never thought that Princess Ping'an would get better under her acupuncture. On the contrary, she felt that it was all luck this time as no accident happened to Princess Ping'an.

Wei Bingyan listened silently to Prince Ping'an's teachings without refutation.

No matter what she said, it was all in vain. Besides, she didn't want to become the first female imperial physician of the dynasty, so there was no need to be so serious. In the end, Princess Ping'an still wouldn't listen. She said that it was amazing for a little girl like her to be able to do such a thing, so why was she pursuing it so excessively.

Princess Ping'an was still weak, so Wei Bingyan did not stay for long, nor did she continue talking about Mr. Ran. Not long after Imperial Physician Li left, she immediately left.

When they got home, Xiao asked Wei Bingyan about her stay at Prince Ping'an's mansion.

Wei Bingyan told Xiao everything, "...I don't know if the princess will send someone to pick up Mr. Ran and bring him back to the capital. I think Mr. Ran should want to come back too."

Xiao was not concerned about this. When Princess Ping'an came to pick up Wei Bingyan, she guessed what the matter was. As for Mr. Ran's identity, she was well aware of it. "Are you doing acupuncture for the princess?"

"When I saw the princess fainted at that time, I didn't think too much about it..." Wei Bingyan said softly.

For some reason, Xiao felt a heavy feeling in her heart. "I don't object to you learning acupuncture, but you are a girl after all. Do you want to be a doctor in the future? Don't play with those golden needles anymore. Just like the prince said, this is not a joke after all."

Wei Bingyan sighed deeply in her heart, "Yes, mother."

……

The next day, the sky was blue and clear after a night of drizzle. The weather was so good that it was perfect for going out and visiting friends and relatives.

Today, Wei Bingyan was going to the Shen family with Wei Zhong and his wife. Originally, Wei Zhong did not allow her to go, but it was Xiao's intervention that allowed Wei Zhong to allow her to go.

The invitation was sent to Mrs. Shen three days ago, but Xiao's mood today was completely different from when she sent the invitation. She could not have imagined that Shen Rouruo, whom she loved sincerely, would have such thoughts about her husband behind her back.

That day, she was helpless and forced to go to the capital to find her uncle. Not only did he help her out of kindness, but he also came back to the capital to think about her anytime and anywhere and try to find a good marriage for her.

If Aunt Qiu hadn't seen through the trick, Shen Rouruo might have done something shameful, and she would have regretted it even if she vomited blood out of resentment.

Xiao took a deep breath and calmed down. She was determined to make Shen Rouruo give up completely today.

Wei Bingyan, who was sitting near Xiao, saw her expression and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

The road to the Shen family's house was quite long. After a long time, the carriage finally slowed down. Through the thin window curtains, Wei Bingyan saw several figures standing outside the Shen family's door.

Standing upright in the front were the Shen Wei couple. This was not the first time Wei Bingyan had met them.

She had seen them once in her previous life. Because Shen Rouruo had planned to marry Wei Zhong, Shen Wei and his wife ended up not even recognizing her as their niece.

Shen Wei was an ordinary-looking man, neither short nor tall, but he had the cold and dignified bearing that is unique to martial artists. His eyes were sharp and calm, and he clasped his fists and saluted respectfully to Wei Zhong who had already got off the carriage.

Xiao and Wei Bingyan got off the carriage one after another, and Mrs. Shen came to greet them, "Mrs. Wei, I always hear Rou'er mention you, but I never had the chance to thank you in person for your helpful help. I really regret it."

"Mrs. Shen, please don't say that. Miss Shen and I hit it off right away. What happened that day was just a trivial matter and it's not worth mentioning." Xiao no longer had the gloomy look she had in the carriage. She smiled warmly and seemed to like Shen Rouruo as much as ever.

Mrs. Shen said with a smile, "Mrs. Wei, let's go in and talk. Even though the weather is as hot as the hottest month of August, it's still hot enough to make people dizzy."

Shen Rouruo had been standing upright and gently behind Mrs. Shen, but her mind was on Wei Zhong who was talking to Shen Wei. She wondered if she could get what she wanted today based on the arrangement she had made the day before.

Xiao looked at her with a smile, and looked at Wei Bingyan secretly within that bright smile.

Wei Bingyan's eyes narrowed with a smile. She walked over and intimately took Shen Rouruo's arm, blocking her from looking directly at Wei Zhong. "Sister Shen, didn't you say you would go to the kitchen yourself today? I came here without even having breakfast, waiting to taste your cooking skills."

Shen Wei and Wei Zhong were exchanging pleasantries. No one knew what they were talking about, but both of them laughed loudly and walked into the main gate of the Shen family one after another. Mrs. Shen and Xiao also followed them forward.

"Don't worry, I'll have to shut you up." Shen Rouruo bit her lip, and finally had to pull her eyes back to focus, and walked behind Wei Bingyan.

Shen Wei led Wei Zhong to the spacious and bright main hall, while Mrs. Shen and Xiao entered the inner courtyard. Shen Rouruo looked away from Wei Zhong's increasingly smaller figure with a reluctant look.

Wei Bingyan frowned. Shen Rouruo seemed to be less and less willing to hide her feelings towards Wei Zhong. Could it be that she wanted to give up everything and lose all her dignity?

They appeared in the tea room in the main courtyard. Wei Bingyan walked up to Mrs. Shen and bowed. Mrs. Shen placed a gold-plated green butterfly hairpin on her head in Wei Bingyan's hand. Wei Bingyan declined twice before accepting the gift at Mrs. Shen's insistence.

Xiao smiled and said, "You are too polite."

"Miss Wei is gentle, elegant and likable. I have always hoped to have a daughter like her." Mrs. Shen said with a smile.

"Now that you have Rou'er, your wish has been fulfilled." Xiao praised Shen Rouruo without any hesitation. Although her attitude towards Shen Rouruo was different now, she still concealed it well on the outside.

The two ladies talked about their daily lives, and Shen Rouruo took Wei Bingyan to the flower garden outside. However, Shen Rouruo looked uneasy and it was unclear what she was thinking about. Wei Bingyan thought that she was worried that her mother came to act as a matchmaker for the prince, so she didn't take it seriously.

This continued until Shen Rouruo brought Wei Bingyan to the flower garden. Before the two of them could say a few words, Lianyi came in with small steps, bowed to Wei Bingyan, and whispered a few words in Shen Rouruo's ear. Shen Rouruo's expression changed and she looked at Wei Bingyan.

"Sister, please sit for a while. I'll be back soon." Shen Rouruo stood up and said to Wei Bingyan.

Wei Bingyan nodded with a smile, "Sister Shen, just go and get busy."

Ever since she practiced Guan family's Yanbi boxing with Aunt Yin, Wei Bingyan also learned the Guan family's profound and mysterious internal skills secrets from Aunt Yin before she had secret communication with Zhou Gong.

Although her aptitude in the art of Zhenwu was average, she had at least learned some of the basics, and her hearing and eyesight were better than usual. Therefore, she could not hear everything Lianyi said in Shen Rouruo's ear, but she could hear most of it.

"Bai Binghui, watch Lianyi. If anything happens, come and tell me immediately." Wei Bingyan instructed coldly, "Go and tell Li Yong not to let the old man drink too much!"
