Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

Chapter 178 I won't let you have your way

Wei Zhong rushed over after hearing the news, and when he saw the marks on Wei Bingru's neck, he not only did not feel any sympathy in his heart, but instead angrily accused her of being stubborn and only bringing shame to the Wei family. If Wei Bingru died at this time, the Wei family would not only lose the favor of the emperor, but would also completely offend the Chu family.

"Keep a good eye on her. If anything happens to the Second Miss before she marries into the Chu family, I'll come after you!" Wei Zhong said angrily to the whole room of maids and mothers-in-law.

"Yes, old man!" Everyone kneeling on the ground bowed their heads in agreement.

Wei Bingru lay on her back on the soft bed, ignoring Wei Zhong's words. She had long been depressed and had no choice but to take the last step. She thought that an ugly death would make Wei Zhong secretly love her and not let her become a widow at such a young age. However, she was already like that, and Wei Zhong only thought about the face of the Wei family...

The Wei family's reputation is very important, but what about her? She has to guard an empty house alone for decades. Isn't that pitiful?

"What are you doing here?" Wei Zhong turned his eyes to Wei Bingyan who was standing upright in the corner, and asked in a not very good tone.

These days, because Xiao gave birth to his legitimate child, Wei Zhong's heart was clear and bright, and he took great care of Xiao. He was also much kinder to Wei Bingyan, as if he had forgotten the fierce conflict before.

But tonight, when he found out that Wei Bingru had committed suicide, he was so angry that he no longer had any patience for Wei Bingyan.

"My daughter heard about my second sister's situation from others and felt very worried, so she came to see me." Wei Bingyan replied in a gentle voice. She was now in charge of all the household affairs in her mother's place, so it was reasonable for her to come at this time.

Wei Zhong had no doubts, "Just try to persuade her."

"Yes." Wei Bingyan bowed her head and hid the sarcasm in her eyes.

"Hmph!" Wei Zhong snorted coldly, without even looking at Wei Bingru, he strode out of the room with his head held high.

Wei Bingyan said to the maidservants in the room, "You all go down. I have something to say to the Second Young Miss."

Ping'er looked at Wei Bingru with concern, and prepared to leave with brisk steps. However, she did not dare to go against Wei Bingyan's wishes, and followed everyone out of the room, leaving only Wei Bingyan and her sister.

"If you really want to die, it's actually too easy. Choosing such a well-known method can only strongly prove that you are not willing to die at all. Do you think that can make your father change his mind? Wei Bingru, you really don't know him very well."

Wei Bingyan walked out from the corner, with a white towel under her feet. She brushed aside the porcelain fragments on the ground and appeared at the edge of the bed, looking down at Wei Bingru, whose face was as bright as a flower.

Wei Bingru's face no longer had the resentful and pitiful look she had when she faced Wei Zhong just now. She looked at Wei Bingyan coldly, "I can't die this time, but next time, even if I die, I will drag you down with me."

"You really need to live a good life. Let's see if you have the ability to drag me down with you in the future." Wei Bingyan smiled slightly, and her eyes continued to flow with a dazzling brilliance that no one could understand.

How familiar this situation is!

At that time, when she was about to be betrothed to Li Yunze, she suddenly collapsed due to the pain. Her whole body could not move. She listened to Wei Bingru constantly making sarcastic remarks in her ears, but she could not say a word in reply.

Shen Rouruo didn't know what method she used to persuade the Li family to let Wei Bingru marry in her place with great fanfare. Wei Zhong came to visit her once, but just gave her a cold glance and left.

She had once said the same thing to Wei Bingru: if she were to die one day, she would definitely take all of them with her.

"What do you have to be proud of now? So what if your mother gave birth to a son? Don't you already know what kind of person your father is? In a few days, he will forget about you and your daughter and only remember your younger brother. Do you think... can you be much better than me in the future?" Wei Bingru said with a gloomy smile.

Wei Bingyan looked at her intently, and suddenly felt that such a thirteen-year-old girl was also pitiful, but she couldn't pity her in her heart, "If Aunt Lian hadn't died, you wouldn't be like this? Wei Bingru, you are wrong for daydreaming and not being able to see through your own position."

After all, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl. Unlike her who had already experienced a lifetime and lost Aunt Lian, it was impossible for Wei Bingru to do the same as in her previous life alone.

"If you were me, you wouldn't daydream, right?" Wei Bingru asked.

Wei Bingyan pouted slightly, "You didn't want to marry Prince Chu because of Li Yunze. Now Prince Chu has passed away, and you still can't get what you want. Do you regret it in your heart?"

"You don't need to take this opportunity to trick me. Prince Chu's death has nothing to do with me." After returning from the underworld, Wei Bingru seemed to wake up suddenly. Wei Zhong's coldness made her realize that she was completely dispensable in such a Wei family.

Even if she really died, no one would love her, except her lost aunt Lian and Jing'er.

For Jing'er, she couldn't die and couldn't fall down so heavily!

She couldn't let Xiao get what she wanted, nor would she let Wei Zhong have an easy time.

Seeing the resentment flashing in Wei Bingru's eyes, Wei Bingyan sighed inwardly. Even though she was acting very sinister, she had no choice but to do so.

She couldn't take any risks. Her mother and A Sheng were the most important people in her life now. She couldn't let them be in danger of separation. "In five days, you will marry into the Chu family. Prince Chu is gone, but you still have to bow to heaven and earth, bow to your parents, and bow to each other as husband and wife... After you bow to heaven and earth, bow to your parents, and bow to each other as husband and wife with Mr. Xiongji, you will be a member of the Chu family."

A mighty rooster... Sir! The Prince of Chu is already dead, but the Chu family still wants her to bow to heaven and earth, to her parents, and to each other with a rooster. What is this?

From ancient times to the present, only when the groom is on a dusty journey and does not have time to pay homage to heaven and earth, to his parents, and to each other, will he use a rooster instead, even if the groom is just a bastard.

But now it was also recorded in the hands of the Xiao family. The daughter of the famous Wei family had to bow to heaven and earth, parents, and husband and wife like those poor and needy women, and the groom was already dead...

Wei Zhong is her biological father. How could she accept the Chu family insulting her like this?

Wei Bingru's face trembled slightly with anger, her hands hanging down at both ends were clenched into fists, her sharp fingernails dug deeply and carefully into the flesh, as if only such immense pain could calm her down.

In fact, it was not that Wei Zhong was really willing to accept Wei Bingru and the rooster bowing to heaven and earth, to their parents, and then to each other as husband and wife, but it was only because Lord Chu said that if Wei Bingru had not killed her husband, his son would not have died unjustly that he had to give in.

Even if Wei Bingru is not really a husband-killer, as long as Lord Chu says a few words, it will have an impact on all the young ladies in the Wei family who have not yet married in a grand manner.

This will also directly affect the Wei family's reputation. For A Sheng's future, he can only feel aggrieved and painful for Wei Bingru.

The Chu family could not accept the death of Prince Chu, and did not want to see Wei Bingru marrying an exquisitely crafted spirit tablet. So when their son was away, they asked Wei Bingru to bow to heaven and earth, and to their parents, with a rooster, and then the couple bowed to each other. This was... understandable.

"I know you are unwilling to marry into the Chu family like this. No matter what you do next, you will not get what you want as long as I am here. I will transfer Ping'er away the next day. As for you, take good care of your body in the soft big bed these days." Wei Bingyan said softly, and she took out a golden needle from the brocade pouch on her waist.

"What do you want to do?" Wei Bingru looked at Wei Bingyan, her pupils tightened, and a little fear finally appeared in her eyes.

"I just want you to behave yourself these days." Wei Bingyan said, pulling Wei Bingru's hand, rolling up her unique sleeves, and meticulously searching for the magical acupuncture point, inserting a small needle into it.

Wei Bingru had just tragically hanged himself to death, and then drank the medicine that Wei Bingyan had prepared. Now his whole body was weak and powerless, and he didn't even have the strength to push Wei Bingyan's hand away.

The hand that was pricked by Wei Bingyan's needle immediately lost all perception. Wei Bingru looked at Wei Bingyan holding her other hand in panic and fear, "Wei Bingyan, what on earth do you want to do? Let me go quickly, Ping'er! Ping'er!"

But no one went in. Wei Bingru twisted her body, unwilling to be restrained by Wei Bingyan like that.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine when you get on the sedan chair." Wei Bingyan said, inserting the small needle into the acupuncture point on the outer edge of her calf.

"I will definitely tell my father." Wei Bingru said with clenched teeth. At this moment, deep down in her heart, she wanted to drink Wei Bingyan's blood and draw out Wei Bingyan's tendons.

"In order to prevent you from committing suicide, my father will allow me to do this." Wei Bingyan said indifferently, "Okay, you can take a rest. I will come to see you the next day."

Wei Bingru screamed in anger, "Wei Bingyan! You will not have a good end!"

"I have never been a coward and afraid of death." She had already suffered a tragic death once, so why would she be afraid a second time?

Wei Bingyan quickly left Wei Bingru's room and instructed her mother-in-law and maid outside to take good care of Wei Bingru. After that, she asked Bai Binghui to take Ping'er to Wanyuan.
