Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Reputation_1

Although the back corner gate of the Duke’s mansion was seldom visited, the Bai family’s funeral procession had just returned and was passing by the entrance of this alley. Tongji’s loud cry attracted many people who stopped to look into the alley.

Nanny Tong crossed her hands in front of her lower belly, her solemn face darkened. She looked at Chun Yan and spoke: “Chun Yan, you have such audacity. Have you forgotten the last beating you received? The scars have barely healed, and you’ve already forgotten the pain! Not only did you secretly communicate with a servant from King Liang’s mansion, but you also dared to use the Duke’s name… to force the First Young Lady into marrying King Liang with these letters. You have such guts, such capability!”

Chun Yan, held down to the ground by a servant woman, trembled all over in fear: “Nanny! Nanny, I didn’t! I didn’t!”

“We have both the witness and evidence. How dare you deny it! Do you take me for a blind old woman?” Nanny Tong was so furious that her voice rose sharply. “I should have beaten you to death last time!”

“Nanny, please spare me! I did it for the First Young Lady!” Chun Yan cried and begged.

Nanny Tong snorted coldly: “This matter is of great importance! It involves the prince and our First Young Lady. Let’s go before the Eldest Princess and settle this properly.”

...

Nanny Tong’s piercing gaze swept over Chun Yan, then fell upon Tongji: “Escort them! Take them through this alley to the main gate… and hand them over to the Eldest Princess for punishment!”

With that, Nanny Tong led the way, and the guards of the Bai family escorted Chun Yan, Tongji, and the coachman from King Liang’s mansion, dragging the coach from King Liang’s mansion as they walked towards the main gate.

“Let go of me! I am a servant of King Liang’s mansion, not someone the Duke’s mansion can arrest! Let me go!”

Tongji shouted loudly as he was being escorted forward.

Chun Yan’s legs went weak. Remembering Mingyu’s fate beside the Second Young Lady, she was so terrified that she could only cry and confess: “Nanny Tong, I was wrong! Please spare me! I won’t dare do it again! Please free me, don’t take me before the Eldest Princess. If the Eldest Princess finds out, my life is over! Nanny Tong, you have watched me grow up… Please give me a way out!” _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

But Nanny Tong seemed to be heartless, leading the guards and servant women out of the alley. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they headed straight for the main gate of the Duke of Zhen’s mansion.

The Eldest Princess had just been helped off the carriage by Nanny Jiang when she saw Nanny Tong suddenly rushing up and kneeling straight before her, crying out loudly: “Eldest Princess, you must seek justice for the First Young Lady!”
