Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350: Chapter 347: Competent Assistant_1

Eldest Princess and Mrs. Wang had a natural bond between them, Mrs. Wang was certain Bai Qingyan brought news of Ah Jue. Mrs. Wang rushed out of the house.

As soon as she reached the courtyard gate, she saw Bai Qingyan entering.

"Why are you outside, Auntie?" Bai Qingyan asked with a smile.

Mrs. Wang tightly held her Buddha beads: "I heard you were coming, so I came out to greet you. Lingyun, bring the freshly made goat milk crisps for the eldest young lady."

Nanny Guan lifted the curtain respectfully and invited Bai Qingyan inside. Cleverly, she stayed outside, letting Lingxiu bring two small embroidered stools and sat with Chun Tao under the veranda to discuss embroidery patterns.

Bai Qingyan and Mrs. Wang sat by the window on a soft couch. She handed the letter hidden in her chest to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang looked up at Bai Qingyan, her eyes red, her hand clutching the Buddha beads trembled. After a long while, she dared to put down the beads and reached out to take the letter, her throat tight.

As soon as her fingertips touched the letter, Mrs. Wang’s tears fell. She quickly dabbed them with a handkerchief, fearing they would wet the paper.

She opened the letter. There was only one sentence, but it was indeed Bai Qingjue’s handwriting.

Mrs. Wang clutched the handkerchief to her chest, biting her lip to keep herself from crying out loud, tears falling one after another. Her nose flared as she tried to open her eyes wide and look at Bai Qingyan, seemingly seeking confirmation if she had seen Bai Qingjue alive.

Bai Qingyan nodded at her aunt: "The wound has healed, he is much thinner than when he left home, but his spirit is still there."

Mrs. Wang almost sobbed at these words. She covered her mouth tightly, pressing the letter to her chest. Her frail shoulders trembled, tears fell like broken beads, and her crying was extremely repressed, fearing others would hear.

"Auntie, I brought it back for you to see, but I must burn it..." Bai Qingyan’s voice was very low.

Mrs. Wang nodded while crying. She understood... she understood, even if the letter was in her possession, it was not safe. The safest thing was to remember it after seeing it.

She wanted to thank Bai Qingyan, but feared opening her mouth would make her unable to hold back her sobs.

She thanked Bai Qingyan for not lying to her, for bringing back Ah Jue’s letter, letting her know Ah Jue was still alive. She could only reach out and grip Bai Qingyan’s hand tightly with all her strength.

When Bai Qingyan left her aunt’s Lishui Garden, an hour had passed. Mrs. Wang personally had burned the crumpled letter.

Mrs. Wang said she would continue to eat vegetarian and chant Buddha, praying to the heavens to bless Ah Jue and the Bai family with peace and stability for the rest of their lives.

The news of the Shuoyang Bai Clan forcing the Eldest Princess to cough blood spread throughout Dadu City within an hour. The citizens were shocked that the Shuoyang Bai Clan had such audacity to force the Eldest Princess to cough up blood.

Bai Jinxiu at the Qin Mansion, upon hearing the news, couldn’t sit still and had someone prepare a carriage to rush back to the Princess of Zhen’s mansion.

Upon returning home, Bai Jinxiu discovered it was a false alarm. It was just their grandmother using means to deal with the clan. She then breathed a sigh of relief and went to Qinghui Courtyard.

Bai Qingyan was reviewing the list Nanny Tong had prepared of items to be transported back to Shuoyang with the first convoy.

Chun Tao, upon seeing Bai Jinxiu, informed Bai Qingyan, then went with Nanny Tong to the gate of Qinghui Courtyard to welcome Bai Jinxiu.

Bai Jinxiu, now five months pregnant, her belly already showing, but still quite agile, probably due to her martial arts background.

Nanny Tong supported Bai Jinxiu as they walked: "Second young lady, take it slow. You are now carrying two lives."
