Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Hearing Xia Yuezhu's scream, Wei Bingyan turned around hurriedly and saw that Xiao's face was pale and he was holding his heart as if he had fainted.

She was frightened and pressed Xiao's philtrum with one hand while using the other hand to help her swallow her anger.

Xiao had just been provoked by Shen Rouruo, and had been feeling depressed for a long time. She felt dizzy and lost consciousness. Fortunately, Wei Bingyan was here, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.

Shen Rouruo's face changed drastically after being angered by Wei Bingyan's words, and the raging anger in her heart kept rolling. Seeing that Xiao was now half dead and hanging on for his last breath, she felt relieved again, as if she wished that Xiao would die right here.

At this time, Princess Ping'an had already returned with the Fourth Prince's wife. When she saw the situation in the pavilion, her expression changed slightly and she hurried in.

"Mrs. Wei, what's going on? Hurry up and get the imperial physician." Princess Ping'an ordered with a breathy voice, appearing beside Xiao. "You look so bad, what happened?"

Xiao had slowly woken up by this time. When she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Rouruo looking at her with smugness in her eyes, and her stomach felt tight again.

"I just feel a little depressed, it's okay." Xiao turned around and said to Princess Ping'an with a smile, but her face was pale and her bright smile looked weak and sleepy.

Princess Ping'an turned around and glanced at Shen Rouruo coldly. As early as during the lively banquet, she had already seen that Concubine Shen had obvious ill will towards Xiao's mother and daughter. Now that Xiao was so angry that she became like this, it must be related to her.

Humph, a mere concubine has the guts to come to her Prince Ping'an Palace and do something wrong. Madam Wei's baby could be big or small. If something happens in her Prince Ping'an Palace, how can the Wei family stop?

Shen Rouruo felt a little timid when she was looked at by Princess Ping'an's sharp eyes. She turned her head away, her face still full of pride.

Wei Bingyan was completely focused on Xiao. Seeing that she had woken up and her pulse was beating normally, she asked softly, "Mother, do you feel any discomfort?"

What I'm actually asking is whether your tender belly feels uncomfortable?

Xiao looked at her daughter regretfully and said, "I'm not causing any harm."

Her pregnancy had been in very good condition, and her daughter took good care of her, so it was not likely that an accident would happen easily.

Wei Bingyan finally relaxed and turned to look at Shen Rouruo with cold eyes, "Concubine Shen, no mother would ever hope that her daughter would be bad. Others outside misunderstand me. What does this have to do with my mother? Could it be that you became the concubine of the Fourth Prince because you were disobedient at home? If what you said just now is true, there are so many women in the world who are concubines. Are they all disobedient?"

The words were neither too loud nor too soft, but those who could understand them all changed color.

Your Majesty has three thousand beauties in the harem. Except for the Queen, all other women are concubines. Even the Fourth Prince’s mother, Empress Linghu, is only a concubine.

After hearing what Wei Bingyan said, Shen Rouruo's words really offended a lot of people, and she even cursed her own mother-in-law.

Without giving Shen Rouruo a chance to refute fiercely, Wei Bingyan continued, "Concubine Shen should be more cautious in what she says in the future, and never drag down her relatives. We can guess what the emperor's intention is, and we can't jump to conclusions without careful consideration."

As soon as these words came out, even the Fourth Prince's wife's expression turned ugly, and she glared at Shen Rouruo fiercely.

Shen Rouruo looked at Wei Bingyan angrily.

Wei Bingyan turned around and bowed to Princess Ping'an, saying that Xiao was not feeling well and wanted to take her leave first, so as not to continue disturbing everyone's interest.

Princess Ping'an couldn't bear to keep the people, so she said a few words to Xiao and asked her personal maid to escort Xiao and her daughter out.

After that, Princess Pingan looked directly at the Fourth Prince's wife and said in a suggestive tone, "Fourth Prince's wife, although you are a pregnant woman and not in good spirits now, the rules of the family should not be neglected. Those who don't understand the rules should be taught accordingly."

"Thank you, Princess Ping'an, for your instructions." The Fourth Prince's wife gritted her teeth, feeling that all her face had been lost by Shen Rouruo today.

On the way back, Wei Bingyan held Xiao's hand all the time. The carriage moved forward slowly, and no one could feel the shaking.

"Bingyan, it's all my fault that you got implicated." Xiao looked at her daughter with regret. She was actually influenced by Shen Rouruo. If it weren't for her, how could Bingyan fight back against Wei Zhong with such a fierce attitude and refuse to admit defeat? How could she have the reputation of being an unfilial daughter?

If not, how could the prince dare to ask for permission to take Bingyan as his concubine?

Wei Bingyan curled her lips slightly and said softly, "Mom, how does this have anything to do with you? Filial piety and disobedience are not determined by others' words, but by their hearts."

On that day, she deliberately wanted to annoy Wei Zhong and force him to drive her and her out. If she hadn't done it sincerely, how could Wei Zhong have scolded her for being disobedient? In the end, she was still a burden to her mother.

"But in this way...your marriage is bound to hit a wall..." Xiao said bitterly.

Wei Bingyan laughed indifferently, "They just believed the rumors so easily and thought my daughter was so bad. Even if they wanted to marry her, I would not marry her."

Mrs. Xiao was amused. She was unhappy that her daughter was misunderstood, but she was still worried about Mrs. Li... She thought she would not believe the rumors.

"Bingyan, have you seen your third senior brother in the past few days?" Xiao asked patiently and calmly. Her daughter has always been close to her, but she still can't see Bingyan's thoughts clearly. She really doesn't know what she thinks of Li Yuyan.

Speaking of Li Yuyan, Wei Bingyan's brilliant smile faded slightly, "I haven't seen him!"

Xiao was stunned by her tone that sounded like she was having a temper tantrum. Could it be that she was having a temper tantrum with Li Yuyan?

"In fact, your third senior brother is really good..." Xiao said. There are so many handsome men in the capital, and she feels that Li Yuyan is suitable for Bingyan. At least after Bingyan gets married, she won't have to worry about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not getting along.

However, Wei Bingyan pouted her lips and leaned against Xiao, unwilling to mention Li Yuyan.

Seeing her daughter showing such a little temper in front of her, Xiao smiled indulgently and did not mention Li Yuyan again.

When she got home, Wei Zhong had not returned yet, so Xiao went back to her room to rest. After a while, two imperial doctors came in person to take Xiao's pulse meticulously. One was sent by Princess Ping'an, and the other was sent by the Fourth Prince's wife.

Both of them are experts in obstetrics and gynecology in the capital, and there are many imperial doctors dedicated to princesses in the palace.

They all said that Xiao was in good health and the fetus was safe, but she was still prescribed medicine to nourish the fetus.

After sending the two imperial doctors away, Xiao and Wei Bingyan told Shen Rouruo about her unusual reaction. "Based on her past behavior, she was really emotional today. If her words today were heard by the Fourth Prince, the consequences would be unpredictable."

"She deserves it!" Wei Bingyan snorted expressionlessly. The Fourth Prince could not afford to make any mistakes at this time, and Shen Rouruo had just happened to catch the Fourth Prince making a mistake today. Given the Fourth Prince's cruel nature, even if she wasn't killed, she would not end up well.

"I think she hasn't completely given up, otherwise how could she lose her rationality." Shen Rouruo hadn't completely given up on Wei Zhong, so when she saw Xiao was pregnant, she was overwhelmed by envy and jealousy and her rationality was overwhelmed.

"If she had completely given up, why would she still collude with the woman there!" Wei Bingyan said coldly.

Xiao frowned, "Is this scented dew really sent by Shen Rouruo?"

Wei Bingyan replied, "The perfumed dew was directly delivered by the merchant in charge of purchasing for the palace. It was listed in the account book. There were ten bottles in total. Aunt Qiu and Second Aunt took four bottles, and two of them were sent to you. The perfumed dew she directly delivered was a little different from the one I got from Second Aunt, but it was hard to notice. I sent people to search her courtyard, but no other perfumed dew was found."

"That is to say... there is no solid evidence to prove that she wanted to poison me with tea. This perfumed dew is not an ordinary thing. She doesn't have the ability to make two identical bottles without anyone noticing, unless someone outside sends them to her?" Xiao's eyes turned cold. Aunt Qiu was really eager to harm her.

"No matter where this fragrance comes from, she can't stay here." Wei Bingyan said softly, fearing that Xiao's heart would overflow with kindness in the end, "Keeping her here will be a hidden danger of disaster."

Aunt Qiu was a maid brought by Xiao Shi as a dowry. She had always treated such a maid differently from others, but she had never thought that she would be a vicious woman with ulterior motives. "You should do as your father wishes. First, send her to the villa, and then think of an excuse...

However, you must not let A Rui know about this matter for a short period of time. When the time comes, tell him that Aunt Qiu is seriously ill and dying, so that he won’t have any resentment in his heart.”
