Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377: Chapter 374: Justice_1

"County Lord, Father-in-law, Lord Zhou!" The clan leader greeted with a smile, then quickly summoned the servants to bring chairs and tea for Quan Yu, Lord Zhou, and Bai Jinzhi.

As soon as the clan’s descendants saw their ancestors, they all cried and begged their grandfathers and the clan leader for mercy, complaining loudly about their suffering in prison and the inedible prison food.

Contrarily, Bai Qingjie, who was usually the most pampered, knelt there in silence.

Bai Qiyun, worried about his son, wanted to go see him but seeing his father’s stern face, he held back his concerns and stood behind the clan leader, tightly gripping his clothes.

Bai Jinzhi cast a cold, mocking glance at the worried clan members who wanted to approach but dared not, and then turned to Lord Zhou: "My eldest sister should be arriving soon. Please wait a moment, Lord Zhou."

"County Lord is too polite! Too polite!" Lord Zhou continuously bowed to Bai Jinzhi.

The Brothel Madam quickly brought the mute girl from the carriage and stood at the gate of the Bai Clan ancestral hall, shouting: "Lord Zhou! Lord Zhou... I heard the Commandery Princess is looking for a mute girl named Yaniang. This girl is who I bought just yesterday. She is mute and cannot speak. Please see if it is her!"

"A prostitute dares to stand at the entrance of my Bai Clan ancestral hall!" Bai Qiyun said angrily.

Lord Zhou hurriedly motioned for the officials to pull the Brothel Madam away. After all, this was still the Zhen Kingdom Princess’s ancestral hall.

Bai Jinzhi, however, did not mind at all. He casually walked outside, followed by Quan Yu. Lord Zhou, seeing Quan Yu had left, quickly stood up and followed too.

Bai Jinzhi knew Yaniang and was very concerned about her safety.

She stepped forward, looking at the frightened little girl standing beside the Brothel Madam. The girl was clean with ill-fitting clothes hastily put on her.

"Fourth Young Lady, is it her?" Shen Qingzhu asked Bai Jinzhi.

Bai Jinzhi shook her head: "This is not Yaniang."

The Brothel Madam was both disappointed and relieved. This disobedient girl had been beaten twice since arriving and was covered in wounds. If she were the mute girl the Commandery Princess was looking for, there would surely be consequences for her deeds.

Soon, there was another shout outside the ancestral hall gate: "The four-horse carriage, the Princess of Zhen has arrived."

Bai Jinzhi turned towards the direction of the carriage.

The carriage quickly stopped outside the crowd. Chun Tao helped Bai Qingyan down from the carriage. Silence fell immediately. The townspeople looked at the renowned Princess of Zhen with awe, fear, or curiosity.

"Eldest sister..." Bai Jinzhi stepped forward and said to Bai Qingyan, "She only brought a mute girl, but not Yaniang!"

Bai Jinzhi pointed towards the Brothel Madam and said, "Ask how much silver she wants and let this girl stay at the ancestral home."

"Yes!" Shen Qingzhu nodded.

"Yaniang!" Bai Jinzhi gasped upon seeing Yaniang bent over, getting out of the carriage. "Thank heavens! Eldest sister has found Yaniang!"

"Yes!" Quan Yu responded. _{freёweɓnovel.com}
