Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Wei Bingyan finally interrupted the acupuncture two hours later. Her entire body was sweating, but because of the change in her expression, it was hard to tell that she was sweating.

The old man, who had been unable to speak due to stomach pain, began to look much better, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable. My stomachache has eased a lot." The old man's voice became stronger. Looking at Wei Bingyan's plain face, he couldn't help but wonder how could such a young and skilled doctor be just a female doctor.

Wei Bingyan smiled faintly and said, "You have spleen deficiency. One acupuncture treatment cannot completely cure it. I will prescribe a prescription for you. You need to take a few doses of medicine when you go back..." She frowned and thought for a while, then said, "If you can have more acupuncture treatments, that would be the best, but..."

"Thank you, young doctor. My house is located in the third spacious courtyard in Yuzi Lane. My surname is Xiao." The old man Song said with a smile.

Yuzi Lane... It seemed that it was not too close to the Wei family's home. Wei Bingyan did not want to receive treatment in the city, but she could not refuse this Old Master Song.

"I will come to your house again in five days to take your pulse." Wei Bingyan said.

"Thank you, young doctor." Old Master Xiao nodded and said with a smile.

After receiving the medical fee, Wei Bingyan and Aunt Yin walked towards Qingxin Teahouse. They were both so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to walk normally.

"Old master, don't you have an imperial physician when you go back? Why do you let this little female doctor come to your house?" The servant drove the carriage back onto the wide official road and headed towards the city tower.

"All these imperial doctors in the palace are not as good as this young female doctor in using needles." Old Master Xiao closed his eyes. The grief and bitterness he had been suffering from the stomachache along the way finally eased a little, and his mood also improved.

The servant said, "Since the little female doctor is so capable, why do you still want to be a female doctor?"

Old Master Song's slightly closed eyes flashed with something unusual. He had just ignored it, whether intentionally or unintentionally. In such a hot situation, there was not a single drop of sweat on the forehead of the young female doctor, and even her expression did not change... This was really a bit pleasing.

"I also want to know who this interesting little thing is." Old Master Xiao said with a smile.

……

"Miss, Yuzi Lane... that's where the rich live." Aunt Yin spoke softly to Wei Bingyan. Although she was not from the capital, she knew a lot about the capital from the mouths of these maids.

Wei Bingyan sighed slightly, "Could it be that if you know that he lives in Yuzi Lane, then you won't treat him?"

In the eyes of a doctor, all sick people should be the same.

Aunt Yin had already expected that she would answer like that, and with a smile in her eyes, she said, "Xihai is there." She pointed to a teahouse nearby on the main road.

Wei Bingyan and Aunt Yin had some tea and some desserts in the teahouse to fill their stomachs before getting on the carriage and leaving.

In the car, Aunt Yin took off the makeup on Wei Bingyan's face, revealing a childish and slightly red face. "The weather is too damn hot right now, Miss, you should not go out every day. It's not good for your skin to have a makeup on all the time."

"I just want to take a relaxing bath now, and then have a good sleep afterwards." Wei Bingyan lay down on the bed without any external appearance, "I will go out after five days."

Aunt Yin nodded with a smile.

After returning to the Wei family, Wei Bingyan immediately asked Anxiang to prepare bath water to wash away the crystal sweat and sleepiness.

Bai Binghui was helping her wash her fine hair. Her flowing hair, like delicate silk, looked like blooming dark lilacs in the water. Bai Binghui was combing her hair gently, patiently and carefully.

"Miss?" she called softly.

"Huh?" Wei Bingyan responded leisurely. She felt very tired today, but fulfilled, and there was an indescribable sense of satisfaction deep in her heart.

Bai Binghui lowered her voice and said, "Shen Rouruo came to look for Madam today."

After hearing this, Wei Bingyan suddenly opened her eyes, which were as shiny as sparkling crystals, and asked, "Did Madam see her?"

"No, I declined and asked Shen Rouruo to come back another day." Bai Binghui said.

"What did Shen Rouruo say?" Wei Bingyan breathed a sigh of relief deep in her heart. She was really worried that her mother would be too kind-hearted. After all, Shen Rouruo's skill in acting pitiful was really hard to match. But she was too anxious. No woman would sympathize with another woman who coveted her husband.

Bai Binghui replied, "I waited in the main hall for two hours before returning."

A sinister smile appeared on Wei Bingyan's face. Ever since she came back from the Shen family that day, she had not tried to find out anything about this woman. Since the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince were interested in her, even if Shen Rouruo tried to seduce Wei Zhong, Wei Zhong would not dare to take her.

Wei Zhong would not be stupid enough to offend the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince at the same time.

After bathing, Wei Bingyan dried her fine hair, put on a silver skin-friendly long dress, and lay flat on the soft bed in the room. The bright windows were opened directly, and the evening glow shone directly in, covering her body with a layer of colorful red clouds.

Bai Binghui handed her a small cup of warm tea and said, "Miss, Master Li has won the first place in the imperial examination...Should we express our gratitude?"

Anxiang had just brought in dinner. When she heard Bai Binghui's words, a strange look flashed across her eyes. She lowered her head and placed the dinner on the table.

Wei Bingyan didn't pay much attention to Anxiang's expression. She just tilted her neck and glanced at Bai Binghui. "How do you think you should express it?"

"Miss, Young Master Li is your third senior brother." Bai Binghui said softly.

"I know he is the third senior brother, but he is so popular right now, why should I add to his glory? Besides, it is not appropriate for me to celebrate for him at this time."

Ever since the emperor's comment on Li Yuyan spread, no matter the crown prince, the fourth prince, or someone with ulterior motives, they all wanted to gradually turn this number one scholar who was about to become a favorite of the emperor into their own. She was a legitimate daughter of the Wei family. If people knew that she was Li Yuyan's junior sister...

Wei Bingyan sighed, thinking that Wei Zhong and the prince would definitely use her as a pawn to win over Li Yuyan.

She knew that Li Yuyan might not take her seriously, but she didn't want to cause trouble for her master in the future.

Li Yuyan will not do anything for the prince, and Wei Zhong will definitely not choose to abandon a faction like the prince after careful consideration... They will become opponents sooner or later.

"These people may not be sincere." Bai Binghui muttered softly.

Wei Bingyan smiled. Could it be that Li Yuyan was sincere towards them?

However, she has always been confused. Li Yuyan is not the kind of person who likes to show off or do things in a flamboyant and frivolous manner. Moreover, based on his true personality, he does not seem to like being an official in the court. Then why did he do so many eye-catching things after arriving in the capital?

Mr. Li and Mrs. Li were definitely not the type of people who expected their son to bring wealth and glory to the family, so Li Yuyan's actions were somewhat unimaginable.

"Bai Binghui wants to meet Young Master Li herself, right?" Anxiang said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense. I was just doing that for the young lady's sake." Bai Binghui glared at Anxiang and shouted angrily.

Wei Bingyan stood up from the soft bed and walked to the wooden table. "Okay, I know when to celebrate with Third Senior Brother. Anyway, it's not now. Let's go and take a look at that comfortable house tomorrow."

The comfortable residence prepared for Mrs. Li was almost ready, but there was a serious shortage of staff, and she had to select a few maids and old women.

"Where are you going tomorrow?" As soon as Wei Bingyan finished speaking, Xiao came in. However, she didn't hear Wei Bingyan's whole words before asking her with a smile.

"Mom, why are you here?" Wei Bingyan stood up with a smile on her face. "Have you had dinner?"

"I have used it. Please sit down. I have something to tell you." Xiao said.

"What's the matter?" Wei Bingyan asked puzzledly.

Xiao said, "Princess Ping'an sent someone to tell you to visit the Ping'an Palace the next day."

Wei Bingyan was stunned. "Princess Ping'an? But what did you say?"

"No, I think it is still related to Princess Mudan. You must be more cautious when you go back this time. Don't do the same as last time."

"I understand, mother." Wei Bingyan nodded with a smile. She didn't know how Princess Ping'an's health was. She hadn't heard from her since she came back last time. She thought she should be safe.

Xiao asked, "When I went in just now, I heard you say where you were going the next day?"

She hadn't told her mother about finding a comfortable residence for her master. Guan Hualang had said before that we shouldn't be too frivolous when it comes to finding a comfortable residence. She had heard clearly what he meant. He probably didn't want Li Yuyan to owe him too much friendship in the future. "Master will be here soon. Senior Brother found a comfortable residence for Master. I was thinking of going to take a look the next day."

Xiao had just heard others say that Madam Li was going to the capital, and her face was filled with joy. "Mrs. Li is coming?"

Then he immediately frowned and looked at Wei Bingyan, "Why are you telling me this? Go find a comfortable house outside. The Wei family is so big, can't you settle down here?"

Wei Bingyan hurriedly defended herself, "It was only last time that Third Senior Brother told me about this that I understood. Mother, it's inconvenient now. Third Senior Brother is the top scholar. If Madam Li lives in our Wei family, what will people outside think?"

After hearing this, Xiao's expression froze slightly, and she asked softly, "Bingyan, does your third senior brother... not want to have any dealings with our Wei family?"

"He just entered the court as an official and got along too closely with the nobles and wealthy families. Your Majesty will probably be unhappy." Wei Bingyan said softly.

"That's right!" Xiao nodded, "Your third brother is a smart man."

Wei Bingyan smiled faintly, "Yes."

……

"Old Master, we're here." A plain pine carriage stopped in Yuzi Lane. The housekeeper who had been waiting quietly by the door for his master to return hurried over and helped the still weak Old Master Song get off the carriage.

"Ah, Master King's Uncle, you're finally back. The Empress Dowager has been missing you for a long time." A eunuch in a scarlet satin robe, with a clean face and a sharp voice, also approached and saluted respectfully to Old Master Song.

Old Master Xiao looked at him lazily, "Oh, Old Ghost Wei, you are getting younger and cleaner. You must have lived a carefree life these past few years."

"This is all thanks to you." Eunuch Wei, the favorite of the Empress Dowager, said with a smile.

"Don't be so shy. I didn't give you a sincere wish." Old Master Xiao laughed loudly, "Go back and tell the Empress Dowager that I'm not feeling well. I'll go over to greet her in a few days."

"I will go and get the imperial physician right away." Seeing that Old Master Xiao's face was indeed not good, Eunuch Wei couldn't help but ask with concern, "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

"This is because he is not used to the climate and environment in the capital." said Old Master Xiao.

"You are a native of the capital." Eunuch Wei laughed and did not believe this reason at all.

Old Master Song said, "You don't need to ask for the imperial physician. I just happened to meet a young doctor on the way. He has prescribed medicine for me and I feel much better now."

"My Lord, uncle of the emperor..." Eunuch Wei called out, "It would be better to ask the imperial physician to take a look."

"I didn't take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions. Why did I come back to see the doctor the first day? I'll go back to the palace and report."
