Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

"Why don't I give you two cuts and then help you bandage the wound?" Doctor Hu said to Li Yuyan in a bad tone.

Li Yuyan said with a smile: "I'm just pretending for others to see."

"Being a small official and having to pretend to be ill, isn't that tiring?" Doctor Hu said in a bad tone, still following Li Yuyan's instructions and bandaging his naked upper body to make him look like a seriously injured and dying patient who could meet the King of Hell at any time.

"Thank you, Doctor Hu." Li Yuyan smiled, and his tone sounded a little weak.

"You can handle this minor injury yourself. I'm leaving first." Doctor Hu stood up and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he seemed to think of something and turned to Li Yuyan and said, "It seems that something happened to the young master in Haoyue. There has been no news for the past few days. Do you know about this?"

Li Yuyan's handsome eyebrows slightly frowned, "What happened?"

Doctor Hu shook his head. "I don't know yet."

"I will dispatch people to investigate it carefully." Li Yuyan said.

After Doctor Hu left, Li Yuyan asked Feng Qing to invite Wei Qing, the Marquis of Baiyue City, in.

Wei Qing heard from others that Li Yuyan was injured early in the morning, so he went to Li's house immediately. However, he waited outside for half an hour but was not allowed to come in. He was worried, fearing that if something really happened to Li Yuyan, he would not be able to continue his career as a marquis.

"Master Li, are you okay? This...this..." When Wei Qing saw the bandages wrapped around Li Yuyan's body, he was so scared that he didn't know what to say.

Li Yuyan pretended to be weak and frail, as if he had just been to the underworld, and tried to return the greeting to Wei Qing. "Sir Wei, I am sorry to have kept you waiting outside for so long. That was really inappropriate."

How could Wei Qing dare to accept such a gift from Li Yuyan? He held up his hand calmly and said in shock, "Master Li, please stop talking like that. Your injury...what did the doctor say?"

Feng Qing who was nearby said tearfully, "Sir, our young master has survived a lot of hardships. The doctor said that he should stay in bed and recuperate. He cannot get up for the next few days."

"I need to rest, and I need to rest well." Wei Qing nodded hurriedly, and then said angrily, "Who dared to assassinate the imperial minister in broad daylight? Sir Li, don't worry, I will find the person behind it and seek justice for you."

Li Yuyan leaned on the pillow and asked softly, "Master Wei, are there any survivors among these black-clothed men?"

Wei Qing suddenly became angry, "These idiots actually killed all the assassins and left no one alive. Even if we wanted to interrogate them, we couldn't find out anything."

The people who killed these black-clothed men to silence them were all Wei Qing's men, but he acted as if he knew nothing about it. Li Yuyan raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that they can't find out the identities of these black-clothed men?"

"He doesn't look like a local. I will investigate further." Wei Qing said, but secretly wondered who wanted to slander him, Li Yuyan being a favorite of His Majesty.

If an accident happened in Baiyue City under his command, His Majesty would be the first one to not forgive him. What made him even more terrified was that he thought he had complete control over the soldiers in Baiyue City, but he didn't expect that today these soldiers would take the initiative to inhumanely kill all the black-clothed people...

This was simply framing him as being unkind and unjust! He had no time to clean up the mess, so he hurried to Li Yuyan's place to try to clarify things, so that Li Yuyan would not misunderstand that the assassination by these black-clothed people had something to do with him.

Wei Qing was just talking about the killer in black and directly mentioned what to do when the bidding started the next day. Not long after he left, Fang Feiting and Su Leye came back.

The two men originally thought that Li Yuyan was seriously injured, and accused Li Yuyan of sending all the guards out to do things and not leaving two of them to protect him.

Li Yuyan explained his injuries and asked Feng Qing to go out and guard the door.

"Have you arranged everything for Cheng Yang?" Li Yuyan asked Fang Feiting indifferently. Fortunately, Fang Feiting did not follow him away just now, otherwise he might not be able to protect his safety.

"After she's settled, we'll have someone send her away from Baiyue City the next day." Fang Feiting said.

Li Yuyan looked directly at Su Leiye, "We need to hurry up and investigate the Fang family's affairs. This assassination attempt may be a warning to me. Next time, it may not be just those people who come to kill me."

"Who does your Excellency suspect?" Su Leiye asked.

"That depends on who these people in black are." Li Yuyan said, "I have asked people to investigate carefully. I don't believe they are from the government office. Maybe there are spies around Wei Qing."

Fang Feiting said, "Fortunately, the young lady is not in Baiyue City, otherwise I'm afraid some people would attack the young lady and use this to threaten you."

"I'm just curious. The next day was the day for bidding. What was the purpose of the sudden assassination? Did he know what I was going to do?" Li Yuyan frowned and pondered over and over again.

Su Leiye said: "Boss Gong went to look for Fang Shengjing today."

Li Yuyan nodded slightly and said to Su Leiye, "You continue to carefully investigate the relationship between the Fang family and the incident thirty-five years ago. I will take care of this place."

At this time, Feng Qing's voice came from outside, "Sir, Lord Li is here."

"You go down first. Wait until the identity of the man in black is revealed, and then decide what to do next." Li Yuyan said to them.

Fu Sheng personally led Li Chongsheng in. Seeing how seriously injured Li Yuyan was, he immediately took a few quick steps and calmly supported Li Yuyan, who was about to stand up and salute. "Little Li, don't be so fussy about the little things. Just rest and recuperate."

"Thank you for your concern, sir." Li Yuyan said softly, "Sir, this assassination is really strange. Have you found out anything?"

After saying a few words, he began to pant heavily, his chest heaving, and he looked like he was half dead.

Li Chongsheng looked at Li Yuyan and sighed, "There is not a single living person left. What can we find out? But don't worry, I will not let you get hurt for nothing."

Li Yuyan had expected Li Chongsheng to say that, so he just nodded weakly without replying.

"But you're so badly injured...how are we going to open the bid the next day?" Li Chongsheng felt embarrassed, as if he was annoyed for Li Yuyan.

Li Yuyan asked with a smile, "I wonder what strategy you have?"

Li Chongsheng smiled faintly and said, "Why don't I take charge and let the several adults play supporting roles to complete the bid opening tomorrow? Master Li, what do you think?"
