Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Lianyi couldn't believe that Wei Bingyan, a rich lady, had so much strength to knock her to the ground. She struggled hard for a long time before finally breaking free from Bai Binghui's hands and rushed into the side room.

"Miss?" She looked at Shen Rouruo in surprise as she walked out from behind the screen with tears on her face. "Miss Wei..."

Shen Rouruo slowly took out a handkerchief, wiped away the tears on her face, and looked at Lianyi with a cold and creepy look.

Lianyi immediately stopped talking and followed Shen Rouruo in silence.

The master and slave quickly left the room, and saw Bai Binghui looking at them with disdain outside. Shen Rouruo continued to walk forward with an indifferent expression.

This continued until they were about to enter the auspicious gate, and she said coldly: "It turns out that Wei Bingyan is the one who is really playing dumb. I really underestimated her. I was only on guard against the Xiao family, but didn't think about guarding against such a lowly little embryo!"

At this time, Shen Rouruo didn't look at all like the petite girl she was when she was next to Wei Bingyan. There was a hint of ferocity on her pretty face and resentment in her eyes.

"Miss Wei has already seen through your... thoughts?" Lianyi asked curiously. She didn't think Wei Bingyan was smarter than her lady, so how could she see through it?

Shen Rouruo snorted expressionlessly, "Even if she had already seen through it, she still called me sister so intimately. I'm really scared!"

"Miss, what should we do? Will she tell the Second Madam about this?" Lianyi asked worriedly. She had found a place to stay in the capital with so much difficulty, and she didn't want it to be ruined by Wei Bingyan.

"If she wanted to make it public, she would have done it long ago. If this matter is exposed, it will not benefit the entire Wei family. Besides, she doesn't want me to enter the Wei family at all, so how could she tell this matter to others!" Shen Rouruo said coldly. The more she spoke, the angrier she became in her heart, especially when she thought of the mocking and disdainful look on Wei Bingyan's face, she felt even more embarrassed.

What a jerk Wei Bingyan was! She had quietly ruined the opportunity she had worked so hard to get.

"Just pretend this incident never happened. You can't reveal a single word to anyone!" Shen Rouruo suppressed the resentment in her heart and warned Lianyi softly.

Lian Yi said, "I know, young lady, please relax."

"Let's go back." Shen Rouruo patted her face and smiled gracefully again.

When she appeared in the tea room, Mrs. Shen asked her with a smile, "Why did you take so long? Where is Miss Wei?"

Shen Rouruo's eyes fell on Xiao's face, and she said softly, "Miss Wei heard from others that Mr. Wei drank too much and was drunk, so she took the maid to check it out."

Xiao looked at Shen Rouruo with amusement, "No wonder you haven't come back for so long, Xia Yuezhu, go and take a look."

Xia Yuezhu responded softly.

On the way from the Jixiang Gate to here, Shen Rouruo has been wondering whether Xiao Shi knew the inside story of this matter? Is it possible that everyone knows the inside story, and only she claims to have hidden it well, or is it that today's incident was deliberately made by the mother and daughter to make fun of her?

Looking at the still elegant smile on Xiao's face, Shen Rouruo felt a chill running down her spine.

She underestimated the mother and daughter!

……

Wei Bingyan slowly fed the hangover soup into Wei Zhong's mouth, looking at him mercilessly. If this man was not her father, if he was not the husband that her mother still cared about, if he was not the head of the Wei family... she would really use this incident today to make him infamous and make the prince lose trust in him!

But she couldn't do that. She kept thinking about a fierce counterattack, which only ended up killing 800 opponents and injuring 1,000 of her own. She still remembered the lesson of her previous life clearly.

"Miss..." Li Yong walked in panting heavily. Seeing Wei Bingyan sitting on the wooden stool beside the bed with a gloomy face and not speaking, his heart was in turmoil.

Li Yong seldom came into contact with Wei Bingyan on weekdays, but for some reason, when he looked at her bright and beautiful face, he couldn't help but feel full of pressure.

“I told you not to leave the old man’s side no matter what happens, but you listened to every word I said deep in your heart?” Wei Bingyan didn’t turn around, but asked coldly.

"I...felt something was wrong with Madam..." Li Yong swallowed his saliva, and hung his head in sweat.

"I mean no matter what happens!" Wei Bingyan spoke softly. Her voice did not sound raging with anger, but it made Li Yong feel even more nervous.

Li Yongjue didn't dare to try to find the reason anymore, "Miss, it was my fault for being careless!"

Wei Bingyan turned around and stared at Li Yong coldly. She knew that Li Yong was a member of the Xiao family. If she told the Xiao family about what happened today, Li Yong might not be valued by the Xiao family as much in the future.

She believed that Li Yong's loyalty to his mother was obvious to all, but what she really needed was his loyalty to her.

"This matter ends here. You should not reveal it to anyone, otherwise it will not benefit anyone. You must remember this mistake and don't be careless about it again." Wei Bingyan spoke to Li Yong with concentration.

Li Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and was deeply grateful to Wei Bingyan. If his wife knew that his momentary negligence had almost led to the old man being framed by another woman, he would really have no future in the Wei family.

Until this moment, Li Yong still didn't know that the person who wanted to seduce Wei Zhong was Shen Rouruo. He thought she was just a maid.

"Get up!" Wei Bingyan said without blaming him anymore. She wanted Li Yong to gradually become someone she could command. She believed that what happened today would make Li Yong unforgettable and remember her deep friendship forever.

Bai Binghui went to fetch some water, and Li Yong hurriedly took it over to wipe the crystal beads of sweat off Wei Zhong's face.

Xia Yuezhu came in and bowed to Wei Bingyan, "Miss, the madam asked me to come and take good care of the old man."

It seemed that Shen Rouruo had already gone back. Wei Bingyan smiled faintly, "Then I'll leave this place to you."

"Miss, Shen Rouruo is talking to the madam, and the madam wants you to go over too." Xia Yuezhu said softly.

Wei Bingyan nodded and took Bai Binghui to the inner courtyard of the Shen family.

In the tea room, Mrs. Shen was anxious when she saw that Xiao had never mentioned that the prince wanted to marry Shen Rouruo as a concubine. She had to mention without leaving any trace that she wanted to arrange a marriage for Shen Rouruo and asked Xiao to be the matchmaker for Shen Rouruo.

Mrs. Shen deliberately pretended that she had no idea about the matter concerning the Crown Prince.

Xiao didn't directly expose this, but just nodded with a smile, "Of course."

Wei Bingyan came back and greeted Mrs. Shen, then sat down next to Shen Rouruo. As if the scene in the side room just now had never happened, Wei Bingyan spoke to Shen Rouruo with a sweet smile.

After seeing Wei Bingyan's smile, Xiao's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

In the end, she immediately resigned and left the Shen family. Xiao did not even mention anything about the prince marrying Shen Rouruo, which made Mrs. Shen feel strange and worried.

Wei Zhong, who had slept for half an hour after taking a hangover soup, had woken up. He had no idea that Shen Rouruo had almost set him up, but he felt a little abnormal that he was drunk in the Shen family's room. In the carriage, Xiao said a few words to comfort him, and Wei Zhong did not take his abnormal behavior in the Shen family to heart.

Xiao fanned Wei Zhong and said, "Old Master, the Fourth Prince has asked His Majesty for permission to marry Miss Shen. Has this been finalized?"
