Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349: Chapter 346: Ancestral Secret _1

"My grandmother is still the Eldest Princess! My Eldest Young Lady is still the Princess of Zhen, yet you dared to bully us to such an extent! You’ve caused my grandmother to cough up blood and faint! Today, I, Bai Jinzhi, declare right here: if anything happens to my grandmother, I will risk my own life to ensure that you heartless, greedy, and shameless wretches... will not walk out of Dadu City alive!"

After Bai Jinzhi finished speaking, she loudly said, "Steward Hao! From today onward, if any clan members dare to come to our door or cause trouble outside, show no mercy! Have the Government Office arrest them all for gathering to cause a disturbance!"

"Yes!" Steward Hao responded respectfully.

Bai Jinzhi held a long whip in her hand, pointed at the clan members, and turned to enter the door.

Steward Hao glared coldly at the stunned clan members and ordered, "If you don’t leave now, I’ll have people call the guards from the Government Office to arrest you!"

The townspeople looked at the furious clan members of the Bai Clan in Shuoyang and felt apprehensive, whispering among themselves.

"This Shuoyang Clan is too arrogant, actually making the Eldest Princess cough up blood!"

"Yesterday, they said the Princess of Zhen did not help the clan descendants and even wanted to leave the clan. I thought the Princess of Zhen would return to Shuoyang, yet she still acts high and mighty. In the future, won’t she need help from the clan’s brothers? Who would have thought... it turns out the Princess of Zhen was restraining the local officials who were harming people’s lives! No wonder the Princess of Zhen didn’t help!"

"Sigh! The Bai family is too kind, even causing the Eldest Princess to cough up blood. They didn’t have these heartless people arrested but let them go!"

"Exactly, the last time the fourth young lady of the Bai family was beaten, it was because she whipped those who had accepted bribes to cause trouble. That’s why she was punished!"

"The Bai Clan is so arrogant, and this is in the capital. They made the Eldest Princess cough up blood. In the future... who knows how they will bully the Bai family in the capital, filled with orphans and widowed mothers. If the clan leader is like this, it would be better to leave the clan!"

"What do you know!" An elder of the clan nervously explained, "The Eldest Princess didn’t even..."

The clan leader grabbed the elder’s hand and stopped him from speaking further.

Even if he spoke, no one would believe it. The dignified daughter of the previous emperor, the Eldest Princess, would fake coughing up blood to deal with the clan. Others would only think the clan members were making up lies to evade responsibility.

The clan leader shook his head. With the Eldest Princess involved, the clan’s arrogant and brazen reputation would spread quickly. It seemed the children in prison could not be rescued now.

Thinking of Bai Qingyan’s oath in Shuoyang, if the clan children were not expelled, Bai Qingyan would leave the clan...

Just as the Eldest Princess said, without the protection of the Princess of Zhen, the clan would bully the Bai family’s helpless women and children in the capital. The news of causing the Eldest Princess to cough up blood would spread among officials. The officials would follow the trend. The Bai Clan was doomed!

But if the children were really expelled from the clan, the clan leader’s grandson, Bai Qingjie, was among them. How could the clan leader bear it?!

"Clan leader, what should we do now?" an elder asked.
