Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

After Li Yuyan knew that Wei Bingyan was pregnant, she kept her mouth shut until she arrived at Xiangmu Island, and kept telling Abao that soon she would have a younger brother to play with her.

A Bao nodded her head like pounding garlic and said clearly that it was a good idea to have a younger brother for her to play with.

Wei Bingyan was so delighted by them that she couldn't stop smiling.

Wei Dongbi had already picked them up at the vast seaside. When he learned that Wei Bingyan was pregnant and came to find him, he said a few words to her in disapproval. Wei Bingyan smiled and said that she hoped to see an uncle like him.

Li Yuyan held Wei Bingyan's hand, and a passerby appeared at Wei Dongbi's residence.

He lived in the courtyard with fresh air where Old Master Fu used to live.

"Uncle San, have you been living in this place in recent years?" Wei Bingyan asked curiously.

Wei Dongbi smiled and said, "I have been in the city all the time. I just came here recently. I knew you would follow me, so I went straight to Baiyue City."

Wei Bingyan smiled embarrassedly.

Li Yuyan saw that there were not many servants here, and Wei Dongbi seemed to be preparing to leave, so he asked softly, "Third Uncle, are you preparing to return to the capital?"

"The old man sent me a letter asking me to go back." Wei Dongbi said.

"What is Third Uncle going back for?" Wei Bingyan asked.

"You forgot that His Majesty appointed Third Uncle as the Great General of National Defense." Li Yuyan said. It was not that he did not trust the character of the Sixth Prince, but... the rulers always liked to be suspicious. Even if he trusted Third Uncle very much at this time, what about a few years later, or even decades later?

He didn't believe that the Sixth Prince had no fear of the Wei family at all.

Wei Bingyan and Li Yuyan both had the same idea, especially since she had experienced the new emperor confiscating the Wei family and exterminating them. "Uncle, you left the court after so much hardship. Are you going back? The emperor is moody. Aren't you worried?"

"I won't give anyone a chance to slander me." Not even the emperor.

Wei Dongbi has long wanted to be loyal to the country, otherwise he would not have willingly retired to the mountains for many years. He wanted to fight for the Tang Dynasty and expand the sacred land. He wanted to serve the Tang Dynasty, not the emperor.

"Third Uncle..." Wei Bingyan wanted to persuade her again. This time the emperor wanted to assassinate her secretly, and his domineering attitude in arranging marriage for Li Yuyan made her afraid. She didn't want her third uncle to be wrongly accused of betraying the country.

"Okay, no need to persuade me anymore. I asked you to come here today because I want to tell you that it is not easy to accuse the Wei family of crimes." Wei Dongbi motioned them to sit down and talk.

Since the old man could force the retired emperor to give up his throne naturally, Li Yuyan and the others could already guess how powerful the Wei family was.

"Although that's what you say, but...are you willing and willing to do this, Third Uncle?" Wei Bingyan asked.

Wei Dongbi said, "I believe the new emperor is different from the retired emperor." After finishing his speech, he looked at Li Yuyan with a playful look, "The retired emperor passed away a few days ago. Do you know?"

Li Yuyan raised his eyebrows, "I heard about it on the way."

"I heard from others that the retired emperor was not only blind before he died, but also had pus all over his body. He died in a very tragic way. Are you aware of this?" Wei Dongbi asked Li Yuyan.

"Oh? There is such a thing, but I haven't heard anyone else talk about it." Li Yuyan said calmly.

"This is because toxins have invaded the body." Wei Dongbi said.

Is it related to Li Yuyan? Wei Bingyan looked at him confusedly. Could it be that he sneaked into the palace to poison the late emperor?

Li Yuyan said: "Why are you talking about such a foolish and incompetent king? Third Uncle, we haven't had a drink together for a long time. Let's go have a drink. Bingyan has some news. We must not listen to those bad news."

Wei Dongbi laughed loudly.

……

Li Yuyan and his companions did not stay in Xiangmu Island for too long. Wei Dongbi set off for the capital in less than 48 hours, and they also returned to Baiyue City.

Wei Bingyan was asked by Li Yuyan to rest more often. Apart from meeting Fang Feiting and Su Leiye in the study every day, he would accompany Wei Bingyan for strolls in the flower garden. He also did not allow Wei Bingyan to hold Abao, for fear that Abao would kick Wei Bingyan's tender belly.

"Sir, Master Zhu is trying to find a way to get in touch with you. Do you think... we should pay attention to him?" Fang Feiting asked. In the past few days, they had started to carry out various fierce attacks on Master Zhu's business according to Li Yuyan's instructions. Master Zhu knew from somewhere that it was Li Yuyan's work, so he wanted to recognize Li Yuyan.

Li Yuyan sneered, "Let him find the corresponding way, don't pay any attention to him."

"Sir..." Fang Feiting opened his mouth.

"Now that I no longer hold any official position, you don't have to call me sir anymore," Li Yuyan said.

Su Leiye and Fang Feiting responded, but still called him "Sir".

I have become accustomed to it.

Wei Bingyan knew that Li Yuyan was in the study room seriously discussing important matters with Fang Feiting and others, so she did not go to disturb them. However, several wives of officials whom they knew before directly sent her invitations and invited her to come in for a meeting. She did not hesitate and asked them to decline.

Now, not to mention that she is pregnant and cannot go out, given Li Yuyan's status, she cannot be too frivolous.

"Madam, there's a lady outside, and she's actually an acquaintance of yours. Would you like to meet her?" When Wei Bingyan was telling Abao the rumor, Zhaodi came in to give her the answer.

"Old acquaintance? But what's the name of the person reported here?" Wei Bingyan asked. She didn't know many people in Baiyue City, just a few wives of officials. She had already declined to meet with them. Who else would come to see her right away?

The people she knew wouldn't be so clueless.

"She said her last name was Zhu, and that when you saw her, you would feel that you had a connection with her," Zhaodi said.

Wei Bingyan thought for a moment and asked Zhaodi to take the person to the spacious main hall.

After handing Abao over to his wet nurse, Wei Bingyan went to meet the distinguished guests.

As soon as she walked outside the spacious main hall, Wei Bingyan's eyes became a little heavy when she saw the woman inside who was wearing brightly colored clothes and had a plump and delicate figure. Shen Rouruo!

Shen Rouruo saw Wei Bingyan standing outside and reluctantly forced a bright smile, "Bingyan, long time no see."

Wei Bingyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "It seems that we don't have a deep friendship."

"I didn't expect to see you again." Shen Rouruo smiled and sat down directly, looking at Wei Bingyan teasingly, "I thought you would be oppressed by the Rongdi people and your soul would return to heaven, and I would never see you again in this life."

"I'm sorry to make you feel helpless." Wei Bingyan said calmly, "I won't come to your house unless it's necessary. What's the matter with you?"

"Wei Bingyan, the way I am today is all because of you. All our hatred has been wiped out. Why did you still come to Baiyue City to make my life miserable?" Shen Rouruo asked angrily.

She also didn't want to come look for Wei Bingyan, but recently Mr. Zhu's business was almost going bankrupt, and he vented all his resentment on her and Wei Fengjing, thinking that they brought him extremely bad luck, so she came to look for Wei Bingyan for his sake.

Wei Bingyan smiled slightly, "What other great day do the four noble and elegant concubines want?"

Shen Rouruo's face changed drastically. How could she have completely forgotten her identity? The Fourth Prince had betrayed the country. As his wife, she should have been exiled to a remote border area, but she escaped from the Tang Dynasty and ended up becoming the concubine of a profit-seeking businessman. If the government knew about it, her fate would be even more horrible.

Over the years, she slowly forgot her original identity.

She was afraid that Wei Bingyan would have someone arrest her and take her to the government office, so she ran out anxiously with a pale face.

Wei Bingyan looked at Shen Rouruo who was fleeing in a panic with surprise, and her mood immediately improved.
