Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347: Chapter 344: Adding Fuel to the Fire_1

The Eldest Princess spoke in that same indifferent tone, neither cold nor warm, neither sad nor happy, "Or perhaps, taking this opportunity, I, the Eldest Princess of the current dynasty, and Bai Qingyan, the legitimate eldest daughter of the Bai Clan, the Princess of Zhen... We should open the ancestral hall, depose the Clan Leader and the elders, expel you and your descendants from the clan, is that acceptable?"

The Eldest Princess’s nonchalant attitude made it seem as though everything was within her control. With a single thought, the Bai Clan of Shuoyang could ascend to heaven. With another thought, they could fall into hell.

These people were like ants; the Eldest Princess did not care about them at all.

"The direction of the officialdom always follows the whims of the Imperial Family. Tell me, do you think the local officials of Shuoyang dare to release the offspring of the Bai Clan? Do they dare to oppose me, the Eldest Princess, and the Princess of Zhen?" The Eldest Princess paused her hand that was turning the Buddha beads, opened her eyes, and asked, "Which of these two paths do you think is better?"

"Eldest Princess!" The Clan Leader suddenly raised his head. "The greatest wish of King Bai Weiting was for our Bai Clan to prosper!"

The Eldest Princess nodded. "Yes, that’s why you have been indulged for so many years. But as people... one must know when to stop. You have been ungrateful, tarnishing my granddaughter’s reputation. Even if Bai Weiting were still here, he would never tolerate such behavior!"

Nanny Jiang looked up at the Clan Leader on the other side of the screen, whose face was full of fear, her gaze cold.

At this point, the Eldest Princess called out, "Nanny Jiang..."

Nanny Jiang, standing beside the Eldest Princess, responded, "This old servant is here!"

"Tell Wei Zhong to quickly summon the Imperial Physician, and say that the Eldest Princess was so angered by the arrogant clan that she vomited blood and collapsed on the couch. We need the Imperial Physician to save her life," said the Eldest Princess calmly.

"Eldest Princess! Eldest Princess, please don’t do this! The clan will have no way to survive!"

"Eldest Princess, we admit our mistakes! Please don’t go that far! We are family; it doesn’t have to come to this!"

The elders of the clan hastily knelt and cried, seeing Nanny Jiang walk out from behind the screen. They knelt towards her direction, trying to stop her.

But Nanny Jiang’s cold gaze swept over the Clan Leader and the elders. She went out and called for Wei Zhong.

While the Eldest Princess was still drinking tea, the Clan Leader was already kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Eldest Princess, please have mercy! The clan has been getting better under the help of King Bai Weiting! Eldest Princess, please consider King Bai Weiting’s wishes and don’t treat the clan like this!"

The Eldest Princess no longer wished to speak with the clan members. She instructed a servant girl beside her, "Have Lu Ping bring people here and throw them out of the Princess of Zhen’s residence. No need to show mercy."

"Eldest Princess, please have mercy! Eldest Princess, please have mercy!"

The Eldest Princess, with her noble status, did not want to speak more with these people whom she considered worse than pigs and dogs. However, Nanny Jiang had a few words that she could not hold back.

Nanny Jiang, with her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen, her voice sharp, said, "These years, the clan has been relying on the power of the Bai family in Dadu to domineer in Shuoyang and committed countless crimes. This time, the Clan Leader’s brother dared to occupy the ancestral home and tarnished the reputations of the Princess of Zhen and the Crown Prince! It’s because the Bai family has been too lenient with the Shuoyang Clan. The Shuoyang Bai Clan doesn’t know how high the sky is and thinks they can trample over our Bai family!"

The Clan Leader panicked, kowtowing a few steps forward. "Eldest Princess, we admit our mistakes! When I return to Shuoyang, I will teach my brother a good lesson! Please, Eldest Princess, be merciful and spare the clan! After all, we are kin by blood. Please give the clan a chance to reform!"
