Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

After Wei Zhong came back from Li Mi's peaceful villa, he became much calmer and more stable than before. He no longer had any illusions about his high power and position, especially when the old man forced the emperor to give up the throne naturally, he understood in his heart that even if he did nothing.

As long as he is surnamed Wei and is the eldest son and grandson of the Wei family, many people will have to act according to his mood.

He felt very content every day as long as he only needed to educate his only legitimate child at home, teaching him to write neatly and study seriously.

After all, it is the innate nature of the father and son. Twenty-four months ago, Ah Sheng rarely got close to his father, but now he sticks to Wei Zhong every day. The relationship between the father and son is so good that Xiao is very jealous.

Whenever she went into the palace to pay respects to Concubine Lu respectfully, she would be blamed several times.

Concubine Lu had lost a child in the past, and had experienced the deep pain of losing a child. She learned to be content and worry-free, and she became a much kinder person.

She advised Xiao, "Now that he has restrained his thoughts and cultivated his character, and his concubines are no longer close to him, how can you not be satisfied? After all, you are husband and wife, are you going to be sulking with him for the rest of your life?"

Deep down in her heart, Xiao actually resented Wei Zhong.

But seeing how much he had changed, how could she not be overwhelmed with compassion?

With Ah Sheng's unconscious efforts to reconcile the couple, they ended up having more things to talk about.

When Li Yuyan issued the arrest warrant and announced it to the world, Wei Zhong was telling Ah Sheng the rumor in the house. Upon hearing the servant's reply, he looked directly at Xiao who was looking at the account book nearby.

Seeing that Xiao didn't seem to care much, he couldn't help but open his mouth, "Li Yuyan has been arrested everywhere. Bingyan and Abao are going to be implicated if they follow him?"

Xiao didn't even look up and asked, "You're actually worried about your daughter?"

Wei Zhong coughed awkwardly. He had never really cared about Wei Bingyan before, so he didn't blame Xiao for saying that about him.

"Don't worry, my son-in-law won't let Bingyan get into trouble." Xiao looked at him, and her tone softened a lot.

"That's a fugitive..." Wei Zhong muttered quietly, "It would have been great if she had been betrothed to Prince Li, but now she's a marquis."

Xiao said unhappily, "You didn't care about your daughter's good marriage at all back then. Isn't it a little late to come and talk about this now?"

Wei Zhong continued to tell Ah Sheng the rumor with embarrassment.

After a while, another maid came in with a letter from Jinyunzhou City.

The letter was addressed to Wei Zhong. After reading it, Wei Zhong was speechless for a long time.

Xiao put down the account book and walked over to him. "What's going on?"

Wei Zhong said bitterly, "Xiao Ru is gone."

Wei Bingru had a fever all over her body half a month ago. The maid at home took care of her carelessly and did not ask a doctor to see her, and she died just like that.

"This..." Xiao was speechless for a moment. She couldn't say that she had very deep feelings for a daughter like Wei Bingru, especially since Wei Bingru had once tried to slander Wei Bingyan in the past. When she heard that Wei Bingru died at a young age, she couldn't help but sigh.

She didn't know that Wei Bingru's inability to speak and walk was designed by Wei Bingyan.

"I'm really not a good father." Wei Zhong sighed.

Xiao couldn't help but think to herself, you know you're not a good father, what have you done? However, she only pondered over these words in her heart, and she said, "This is her fate."

Wei Zhong was overwhelmed with emotion over Wei Bingru's death. Thinking of Wei Fengjing, who had been missing for a long time, he said, "I don't know what happened to Brother Jing."

When Wei Fengjing was mentioned, Xiao's face immediately darkened. "What does his well-being have to do with the Wei family? He can even sell off his own sister at a low price. What kind of conscience does he have? Does he still remember a father like you?"

If it weren't for such a Wei Fengjing, how could her daughter be rumored to have lost her precious chastity, and how could she be in such a state now where she has no family to return to?

She wanted to meet her daughter, but she didn't know when that would happen. Thinking of this, she was filled with resentment towards Wei Fengjing. It would be best if she didn't see him in this life, otherwise he would definitely not let her go easily.

Wei Zhong knew what Xiao was angry about, so he said softly, "I'm just saying, I don't know where he is..."

Xiao snorted and said to Ah Sheng, "Ah Sheng, go and see if your brother is back?"

Ah Sheng, who had been growing taller, responded crisply and pulled Wei Zhong's unique sleeve, "Dad, let's go together. Second brother nodded and promised me that he would take me out today."

Wei Zhong stood up quickly and said, "Very good, let's go together."

He really didn't want to stay here and face the resentment of the Xiao family. To some extent, the fact that Wei Fengjing had gradually become what he was today was also related to him.

Xiao looked at Wei Zhong, who was impatient to take Ah Sheng away, and finally smiled unhappily.

It would be fine to live like that. It's impossible for me and Wei Zhong to love each other, but it's enough to be ordinary and not have any dislike for each other, even if it's for Ah Sheng.

……

The Sixth Prince conferred the title of Zhaoyi on Ling Anxiang. This was the first time that the new emperor had bestowed a special title on a concubine since he ascended the throne.

When Ling Anxiang entered the deep palace, the second young lady of the Xin family was locked in a mysterious boudoir for a very long time.

She is the new king's fiancée, and they haven't even had a grand wedding yet, but he has already taken in a concubine. This is clearly a slap in her face. What did she do wrong to make him dislike her so much?

Miss Xin thought about it for three days but still couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until Su Yanluan came to see her that she understood the reason.

"This Ling Anxiang was originally Wei Bingyan's maid. I saw her when I entered the deep palace the day before. A maid who had been with Wei Bingyan for several years still had some charm. Looking at her from a distance, I thought it was Wei Bingyan." Su Yanluan seemed not to notice the lonely expression on Miss Xin's face. She smiled charmingly and spoke of Ling Anxiang, who had recently firmly occupied a sharp momentum in the palace.

Does she look like Wei Bingyan? Miss Xin II lowered her head, her calm eyes slightly surging.

"Alas, if His Majesty had married you in a grand ceremony earlier, you would be the queen now, and you would not have the glory and pleasure that young lady has enjoyed." Su Yanluan sighed.

"Mrs. Li." Miss Xin II opened her mouth softly, "Do you hate Wei Bingyan very much?"

Su Yanluan's thoughts were seen through at a glance. She forced a few smiles with an unnatural expression, "How could that be? Why would I resent her?"

"I feel like you really want me to hate her too." Miss Xin said, "I have no grudge against her, but you always mention her in front of me. Don't you want me to dislike her?"

"No...no..." Su Yanluan curled her lips unnaturally.

Miss Xin didn't want to say more. She had more or less figured out why His Majesty didn't want to marry her.

Because we were in Ganlu Temple last time?

Could it be that the Crown Prince at that time misunderstood that she was going to gossip to the Emperor? She remembered that at that time, the rumor that Wei Bingyan had lost her virginity was spreading all over the capital...

As expected, Her Majesty has Wei Bingyan in her heart. She had only guessed it before, but now she is sure of it.

I really envy that woman.

Miss Xin sighed deeply, she and Wei Bingyan were not close friends, they just met each other once in the past. However, for someone like His Majesty and Li Yuyan, such an extraordinary man, to have such a deep impression on her, it must not be as simple as good looks.

I really want to recognize her.

Just as he was sighing, a maid came in to report that an imperial edict had arrived.

Miss Xin's heart trembled, and she went out with anxiety to receive the order respectfully. Su Yanluan gritted her teeth behind her, lowered her head and followed her forward.

It is the imperial decree for His Majesty to choose a date for marriage with the second young lady of the Xin family.
