Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wei Bingyan had just come out of the tea room when she saw Bai Binghui walking towards her in a hurry.

"How is it?" Wei Bingyan walked over and asked in a lowered voice.

Bai Binghui said, "Shen Rouruo and her maid went to the courtyard. Miss, it's just as you expected. Shen Rouruo has bad intentions. I'm afraid she's going after the old man."

Wei Bingyan's face was as gloomy as water. "Have you told Li Yong?"

"Tell him not to leave the old man's side at all." Bai Binghui said.

"Let's quickly follow them. Shen Rouruo is an extraordinary guy. Li Yong alone can't do it." As Wei Bingyan spoke, she strode towards the courtyard.

Wei Zhong, a colleague working with Shen Wei and others, did drink too much in the spacious and bright main hall and became drunk. He was a scholar and usually drank for socializing, while Shen Wei and others were military generals and drank guzzling cups of wine.

How could Wei Zhong drink with them? After one round, he was already drunk, so Shen Wei asked the maid to help him to the side room to rest.

Because of Wei Bingyan's warning, Li Yong did not dare to leave Wei Zhong even a step away, and personally supported Wei Zhong in the side room.

The two maids helped Wei Zhong lie down gently and then left.

Li Yong looked at Wei Zhong, whose face was flushed, and wanted to ask the maid of the Shen family to fetch a basin of warm water. He wanted to wipe Wei Zhong's face, but the maid was no longer outside, so he couldn't leave.

Someone has to tell the mistress and the young lady, otherwise it would be a bit abnormal to let the old man stay drunk in the Shen family like that.

He felt that Shen Wei and his people wanted to get the old man drunk on purpose. The old man was a gentle and amiable civil servant, but those people were all unruly martial artists. When drinking with a close friend, a thousand cups are not enough, but when there is no consensus, a single word is too much. Every time the old man talked about the prince, they kept urging him to drink. Could it be that this was intentional?

"Brother Li, I brought your old man some hangover soup, why are you standing outside?" Li Yong was standing outside with a frown on his face, thinking over and over again, when he heard a crisp voice from the side. Turning around, he found it was the maidservant beside Miss Shen.

"Thank you, Miss Lianyi." Li Yong reached out his hand to take the medicine on the exquisite plate, but Lianyi gave way to him.

"As a man, how can you help the old man take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions? Let me do it, we can be more careful." Lianyi said with a smile.

Li Yong stood outside straight and motionless, "Don't worry, Miss Lianyi, I am the one who takes care of our old man when he is away from home on weekdays."

Lian Yi smiled and said, "I know you are worried that others can't serve your old man well, but I just saw the maidservant beside Mrs. Wei went to the spacious and bright main hall to look for you. I wonder what urgent matter she is looking for you for."

Could it be that his wife wants to see him about something?

"How about I put the medicine down first and stand outside to watch over you? You go and ask your wife if there is anything urgent that she wants to talk to you about?" Lianyi said.

Li Yong was worried that the maidservant beside Xiao couldn't find him, so he wanted to go to the main hall to take a look. He also heard Lianyi couldn't go in and was only outside, so he nodded and said, "Then please trouble Miss Lianyi."

He took the exquisite plate from Lianyi's hand and walked quickly into the house. Since the medicine was still emitting white smoke, he did not feed it to Wei Zhong immediately. He went out, smiled at Lianyi, and strode towards the spacious and bright main hall with his head held high.

Not long after Li Yonggang left, Shen Rouruo appeared. She turned around and looked around, and warned Lianyi, "You watch outside, and no one is allowed to enter."

Lianyi looked at Shen Rouruo with a complicated expression, "Miss, once you go in there... there is no way to clear yourself up."

Shen Rouruo looked at her coldly and opened the door with great determination.

As Shen Rouruo stepped into the house, Wei Bingyan and Bai Binghui appeared in Lianyi's field of vision.

"Miss Wei...Miss Wei, why are you here?" Lianyi stopped Wei Bingyan's brisk steps and prevented her from getting any closer to the room.

Wei Bingyan sneered, stretched out her hand, quickly knocked Lianyi to the ground, and asked Bai Binghui to hold her down, and then she pushed the door open with force.

Behind the screen, Shen Rouruo, who had just untied her silk belt, was frightened to death by the sound of someone knocking on the door, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Wei Bingyan's shadowy figure had appeared beside Shen Rouruo, and she looked at her chest through her cute pink bellyband with a sneer, "I didn't expect the young lady of the Shen family to serve me so well that she even undressed... and served me on the soft big bed, eh?"

Shen Rouruo looked at Wei Bingyan with a face as pale as paper, her thin lips trembling slightly. Deep down, she was furious and ashamed. She was angry that the ripples were useless and Wei Bingyan had noticed it. She was angry that she had been discovered before she achieved her goal. She was ashamed that Wei Bingyan looked at her with contempt and ridicule.

"What's wrong? Sister Shen, are you still unwilling to give up and want to tell me that my father has tarnished your reputation?" Wei Bingyan asked with a gloomy smile, "Look at my father's current state. Even if you stand naked in front of him, he will turn a deaf ear to you. Why do you want to bring trouble upon yourself?"

Shen Rouruo tied the fluttering silk ribbon again with her hands shaking slightly. She raised her beautiful face high, looked at Wei Bingyan with sour and pitiful eyes, and said softly, "I like him very much..."

Wei Bingyan looked at her mockingly, "So what? This is my father!"

"We are sisters, why can't you..." Shen Rouruo begged bitterly.

"Sister? Are you deliberately insulting yourself or mocking me? This is my father!" Wei Bingyan's voice was as cold as ice in the winter, cutting towards Shen Rouruo like a knife.

Shen Rouruo bit her lip and lowered her head, "You already knew this, is that right?"

Wei Bingyan did not answer her. "You have a bright future, why do you do this? You should know that even if you plot against my father and get what he wants today, you will only be a concubine, and it will be difficult for you to become a mistress in the future."

She had never thought clearly. In her previous life, Shen Rouruo had designed a plan to seduce Wei Zhong. Because her mother was terminally ill at that time, she knew that she could definitely become the second wife with her status. But what about this life? Her mother was healthy, and Wei Zhong was not serious about her. He just wanted to use Shen Rouruo as a pawn for the prince. What was Shen Rouruo trying to do?

Could it be that she is really deeply in love with Wei Zhong and would not marry anyone else?

Shen Rouruo's eyes were blurred by tears. She said pitifully, "I don't know. I don't know why I am so honest. I know clearly that I am giving up on myself, but I just can't control it..."

This is the truest truth she speaks.

It could be fate, or it could be the constraints of life and death. When Shen Rouruo knew that she could not replace the Xiao family, she once thought about letting go. However, she had a feeling that it should not have been like this. This was not the arrangement of fate.

But she couldn't imagine what to do...it was hard to let go.

Wei Bingyan was secretly surprised when she heard this. She couldn't help thinking that if she hadn't known about her rebirth and the various destructions that would happen in the future, Shen Rouruo would definitely get what she wanted just like in her previous life...

However, she would not feel pity for Shen Rouruo just because of her tears. No one knew better than her how vicious this woman was.

Others must not know what Shen Rouruo is doing here, otherwise not only will Wei Zhong's reputation be damaged, but Shen Rouruo will also achieve her goal. Thinking of what her mother said to her in the carriage in the morning, Wei Bingyan showed a sympathetic expression, "You should leave. It will be bad for your reputation if others know you are here. I also don't want my father to be dragged down by you."

Shen Rouruo looked at the sleeping Wei Zhong intently, then looked at Wei Bingyan. She realized that today's careful plan had failed, and she would never have the chance to get close to him again. She felt a pang of heartache and turned around and ran out.
