Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525: Chapter 522: Going All Out_1

Bai Jinxiu said in the letter that the day after she spread the letter from Li Mao, Li Mao entered the palace before the gates even opened. Considering Li Mao’s cunning nature, he must have gone to see the Emperor first to confess about the letter.

Later, a fire broke out at King Liang’s residence, and the Imperial Censor, Old Master Pei, impeached Left Prime Minister Li Mao. After Master Tan and Lord Shoushan closely compared the documents, they discovered the letter was forged. The new Minister of Judicial Review, Lu Jin, held onto it, and Left Prime Minister Li Mao was exonerated. Nonetheless, he still recuperated at home, and it seemed his son, Li Mingrui, no longer frequently visited King Liang’s residence.

It seemed that the Li family held a grudge against King Liang, and the Emperor also became suspicious of Li Mao.

The Lin family from the Imperial Family had always disappointed Bai Qingyan. It was unclear what King Liang did to Li Mao after obtaining the letter, creating a rift between him and the Li family.

Perhaps Li Mao planned to step down early to pave the way for his son, Li Mingrui. However, regardless of who in the Li family remained in the court, as long as the Bai family held the correspondence between Li Mao and the Second Prince, it would be a crime punishable by extermination of the clan. The Li family should not dare offend the Bai family again.

Bai Jinxiu also mentioned the date of the Mid-Autumn Festival in her letter.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a time for family reunion. The Eldest Princess was meditating at the Qing Temple for the nation’s blessings. Bai Qingyan needed to decide whether to send gifts or have Bai Jinzhi return to Dadu City to pay respects to the Eldest Princess. It would also be a good idea to send someone to Dadu City beforehand to pass on the message, allowing Bai Jinxiu to make preparations. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

"Miss!" Nanny Tong entered and greeted Bai Qingyan. "The carriage is ready, and we can depart now."

Chun Tao’s eyes brimmed with unsaid words. She finally stepped forward. "Miss, please allow me to accompany you! Otherwise, no one will serve you along the way!"

"Isn’t Qingzhu here?" Bai Qingyan smiled as she looked at Chun Tao, who was filled with worry. "You and Nanny Tong, one with a weak body, the other aged - taking you along would slow the journey if you fall ill due to the hardships of travel."

"If we’re talking about weak bodies, it’s you, Miss. How can you manage without someone to serve you?" Chun Tao knelt before Bai Qingyan. "Please take me along! I’ve even packed a small bundle! I promise to be well-behaved and not fall ill and delay the journey. I beseech you, Miss, to allow it!"

"Yes, Eldest Sister! Take Chun Tao along! Otherwise, Aunt might insist you take Nanny Qin," Bai Jinzhi echoed Chun Tao’s plea.

Bai Qingyan looked at Chun Tao, who knelt on the ground with a pleading expression, and finally nodded.

"Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss! I’ll fetch my small bundle!" Chun Tao wiped her tears with her sleeve, hurriedly stood, and left to grab her bundle.

Bai Qingyan burned Bai Jinxiu’s letter and then said to Bai Jinzhi, "Take care of our younger sisters and the aunts while I’m away."

Bai Jinzhi nodded. "Don’t worry, Eldest Sister. Return soon."

Without Bai Qingyan, Bai Jinzhi felt a loss of direction.

Besides Chun Tao, Bai Qingyan took over thirty guards and the newly recovered Shen Qingzhu, accompanied by Lu Ping. Mrs. Dong was somewhat anxious.
