Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Ever since she came to the capital to rely on her uncle, Shen Rouruo was not treated coldly. At the suggestion of Mrs. Shen, the servants in the family all respected her as if she were their own daughter. But even so, she still felt that something was missing in her heart...

"Miss, I have already told the maids serving in the courtyard. During lunch, tell them to fill Mr. Wei's wine glasses diligently. When Mr. Wei gets drunk, tell me immediately." Lianyi spoke softly to Shen Rouruo, but her heart was beating heavily in her heart.

She couldn't understand why the young lady did this and why she went through so much trouble. Was it just for that old man Wei?

Even though Mr. Wei is in his prime and has a handsome appearance, he already has a wife with children. What on earth is the young lady asking for?

How could Mr. Wei marry Miss as his wife? Miss, do you want to be a concubine? That would be too aggrieved and painful for Miss...

Shen Rouruo's face was serious, and she nodded slowly, "Go!"

Lianyi looked at her, hesitant to speak, "Miss, what if Mr. Wei didn't drink too much and get drunk? Mrs. Wei and Miss Wei are both..."

"Shut up! Just do whatever I tell you to do and get over there quickly!" Shen Rouruo looked at Lianyi angrily. She knew what Lianyi was going to say. It was very lowly and shameless to use such a trick to get close to Wei Zhong, but she just wanted to give it a try. Maybe she could get what she wanted by relying on her uncle's identity.

Lianyi sighed inwardly, feeling that the young lady was too confused.

Watching Lianyi walk away with an anxious look on her face, Shen Rouruo stood there without moving. Although her uncle and aunt treated her like their own blood daughter, her most important foundation here was still weak after all, and she had no confidants of her own. The only one she could use was Lianyi. She was really not sure about what she would do today, so she could only take a gamble.

She was betting on her own luck. Since she was a child, she had always had good luck and would never lose anything she wanted.

Shen Rouruo came back again, and Wei Bingyan said with a smile, "Sister Shen is really busy."

"My aunt asked me to learn to help her with household management, so I have to be busy sometimes." Shen Rouruo said and sat down directly opposite Wei Bingyan.

Wei Bingyan smiled slowly, "Mrs. Shen really cares about you. You should learn how to be the head of the household earlier. After your sister gets married in a grand manner, you can also be the head of the household."

Shen Rouruo hung her head shyly, "Sister, what are you talking about? It's shameless for a girl to always talk about whether she will get married."

"What's so shameless about this? I'm telling you the truth." Wei Bingyan picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. "I heard Sister Shen say before that when you were in Henan, Sister Shen's stepmother forced you to marry an old man as your second wife?"

"It's better not to talk about what happened in Henan!" Shen Rouruo said softly, as if it was a very painful memory for her.

Wei Bingyan smiled faintly, "Sis, you don't even want to be a stepmother, so how could you be willing to be a concubine? No wonder you turned a deaf ear to the prince."

The smile on Shen Rouruo's face was a little stiff. She didn't want to be an old man's second wife, nor did she want to be the prince's concubine. But now what was she doing to Wei Zhong...for?

Could it be that he was still hoping that Wei Zhong would divorce Xiao and marry her?

Wei Bingyan's cold and indifferent eyes flashed across Shen Rouruo's face. Just now, she heard Lianyi tell Shen Rouruo that Shen Wei and Wei Zhong were talking in the main hall of the courtyard, along with several of Shen Wei's colleagues. The kitchen was already preparing delicious meals.

I guess Shen Rouruo doesn't have the courage to tamper with the food. Shen Wei is not a fool. If he finds out, Shen Rouruo will definitely be sent back to Henan.

So, what does Shen Rouruo want to do today?

"If I really love him, how could I not want to do it?" Shen Rouruo said softly, wondering what unacceptable consequences would arise if Wei Bingyan knew what she had done today.

Wei Bingyan said: "Even if the other party doesn't like you, are you happy?"

Shen Rouruo frowned and looked at Wei Bingyan, her eyes full of confusion, as if to say, how could a man not like a woman like her?

If Shen Rou understood that one cannot snatch someone else's man away at will, her mother in her previous life would not have suffered such a miserable end.

Such a topic seemed to stir up the unhappiness in the hearts of the two people. Wei Bingyan and Shen Rouruo did not start talking, but just sipped tea until Mrs. Shen asked someone to call them. It turned out that it was time for lunch inadvertently.

Shen Rouruo and Wei Bingyan returned to the tea room together. Mrs. Shen said to them with a smile, "You two really are like sisters. There's no need to mention it so much. If I hadn't asked someone to call you, I'm afraid you wouldn't even think you were hungry."

"I can always learn a lot when I'm with Sister Shen." Wei Bingyan looked at Shen Rouruo earnestly, her bright smile overflowing.

"No, there is nothing I can teach you." Shen Rouruo said with a smile, and pulled Wei Bingyan to sit down together.

Mrs. Shen told the maid to serve dinner.

Xiao looked at Wei Bingyan deeply, and Wei Bingyan gave her a bright smile in return.

The maids brought out the rich food and wine one after another. Mrs. Shen smiled and introduced to Xiao which ones were made by Shen Rouruo herself in the kitchen and which ones were their Henan specialty snacks. Xiao assisted and praised them several times, and both the host and the guest were happy.

From the time Xiao entered the family until today, she and Mrs. Shen have been talking about family matters, and have never mentioned the Crown Prince. This in turn made Mrs. Shen a little confused. She and Shen Rouruo thought about it for a long time last night and prepared several excuses to reject the marriage to become the Crown Prince's concubine today. But Xiao said nothing now, which made them even more uneasy.

"Sister Shen is a great cook!" Wei Bingyan said with a smile.

Xiao nodded with a smile, "What a lady with delicate hands."

Shen Rouruo's smile was somewhat forced. Xiao had always told her that she came here today to act as a matchmaker for the prince, but why didn't she say a word now? It was as if she had forgotten about it and was just here to visit.

At this time, Lianyi, who had disappeared without a trace for a long time, walked in and stood quietly and upright behind Shen Rouruo.

"I'll go to the kitchen and take a look. There's a dish that hasn't been served yet. It's one of my specialties." Shen Rouruo stood up with a smile on her face, without turning around to look at Lianyi.

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Then go and take a look."

Shen Rouruo's skirt moved, and her unique sleeves fluttered slightly, and Wei Bingyan, who was sitting directly next to her, smelled a strong floral scent.

This taste...

When in Jinyun City, Wei Bingyan once went to the mountains with her master to dig and identify herbs. On the way, they saw a patch of bright pink and fragrant flowers that looked a bit like cinnabar flowers, but her master told her that it was called pure and clean magnolia flowers. If the essence of the flowers was repeatedly purified into essential oils, the essential oils would have the effect of stimulating desire.

She asked what essential oil was, and the master explained that it was flower oil that had been carefully extracted through repeated purification.

At that time she asked how to purify the flower oil repeatedly. The master said that it was very difficult to learn and almost no one understood it. However, even without using essential oils, just the intoxicating floral scent could not only stimulate desire, but also enhance the joy of mutual understanding.

Thinking of this, Wei Bingyan could no longer sit still, "I'll go take a look, and secretly learn some cooking skills from Sister Shen."
