Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Chapter 351: Those Who Dare to Die Triumph_1

Bai Qingyan’s carriage slowly approached from behind Bai Jinzhi and stopped beside Li Mao’s carriage.

A slender, fair hand lifted the carriage curtain, coinciding perfectly with the window of Li Mao’s carriage.

Seeing Bai Qingyan’s delicate face with a subtle smile, Li Mao, who was sitting inside his carriage, also smiled, "Since the Commandery Princess has something to say, why not come to my residence for a chat?"

"Today, I wish to speak with the Left Prime Minister about Wen Zhenkang’s wife going to see you. It will only take a few words. There is no need to disturb you at your residence, lest we unsettle your wife."

Li Mao did not believe that Bai Qingyan was the kind of ignorant woman who gossiped before others. Since she mentioned Wen Zhenkang’s wife, there must be a deeper meaning.

He gazed at Bai Qingyan’s calm and indifferent eyes, his fingers gently stroking the embroidered patterns on his court attire, and chuckled, "What do you mean by that, Commandery Princess? I don’t quite understand..."

"The day Wen Zhenkang’s wife went to see you, she probably gave you a letter..." Bai Qingyan said slowly, looking at Li Mao’s composed face. "But it was not the only letter. I have quite a few here as well! Only after reading them did I realize what an extraordinary relationship the Second Prince had with you!"

The sudden threat brought a strong sense of fear that climbed up Li Mao’s spine, causing stormy waves in his heart.

How did Bai Qingyan know?!

Could it be that Wen Zhenkang’s wife also went to see Bai Qingyan?!

Li Mao’s palm tightened, pretending ignorance, "I really don’t understand what you’re saying, Commandery Princess."

"It’s fine if you don’t understand..." She looked at Li Mao with the same smiling expression. "It’s just to let the Left Prime Minister know what I have in my hand that can be used to intimidate you."

"What do you mean by that, Commandery Princess?" Li Mao’s smile became a bit more reserved.

"No other meaning. I just hope the Left Prime Minister behaves and doesn’t cause trouble for the Bai family. If my family is not pleased, I will naturally make you unhappy too! Mutual peace is what I wish for. Is it not what you wish as well?" Bai Qingyan’s blatant threat hung in the air.

Li Mao pursed his lip, laughed low, and then said, "Although I’m still not clear on what the Commandery Princess is saying, the Bai family has been loyal for generations. Of course I hope to establish goodwill with your family and maintain peace. There’s no doubt about that."

"Since the Left Prime Minister says so, I am relieved." Her deep, quiet eyes gazed at Li Mao. "I also kindly remind you not to send people to probe or steal letters from me. I am someone who cannot tolerate sand in her eyes. It’s hard to say what I might do. The Left Prime Minister should understand!"

Li Mao’s hand, resting on his knee, tightened, grasping his clothes as he smiled, "Of course I understand."

Since the Bai family’s crisis began, Bai Qingyan’s every move was Earth-shattering. She exposed those things that were supposed to be buried in the dark, showing a righteous, unyielding spirit, undaunted by death.

She struck the drum of grievances, forced the Emperor to punish King Xin. These actions seemed reckless and desperate but often yielded stunning results.

This made cunning people like Li Mao, who harbored secrets, feel wary and fearful.

Cunning people were shadowy, afraid of the light, and feared those unafraid to die.

In a narrow encounter, it was always the fearless who prevailed.
