Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 606

Chapter 606: Chapter 603: Just a Title_1

All of Dadu City knew that the Princess of Zhen was aligned with the Crown Prince.

On this occasion, Fu Ruoxi nearly killed the Crown Prince with a blade, but it was the Princess of Zhen who severed Fu Ruoxi’s arm to save the Crown Prince’s life.

However, as soon as Madam Fu thought about her eldest son being betrothed to the cousin of the Princess of Zhen,

she quickly tugged her son’s sleeve, indicating for him to speak with the Princess of Zhen later.

She hoped that considering the engagement between her son and the cousin, the Princess of Zhen would intercede with the Crown Prince.

She didn’t seek to protect the entire Fu family but only begged that their main house not be implicated.

After all, the Fu family had already split. The main house was separated, and they would bear the consequences of Fu Ruoxi’s actions themselves.

The eldest son of the main house frowned deeply, showing reluctance. He lowered his head, pretending not to notice, and moved aside.

The wife of the main house was about to reach for her son when she saw the second wife, Mrs. Liu, step in and had to bow to guests instead.

Mrs. Liu offered incense, dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief, exchanged a few words of condolence with the main house’s wife and Fu Ruoxi’s wife, Mrs. Luo.

Then, she accompanied the third wife of the Fu family to the back to have tea.

Bai Qingyan, having offered incense, gazed at Madam Fu’s memorial tablet and bowed three times sincerely.

When Bai Qingyan suggested that Madam Fu consult the Crown Prince, she hadn’t anticipated that things would come to this.

Seeing Bai Qingyan about to leave after her respects, the wife of the main house swiftly stood up and called, "Princess of Zhen!"

Bai Qingyan turned her head to look at her.

The wife of the main house stood up, wanting to pull her son up as well. He furrowed his brows and withdrew his arm, saluting toward Bai Jinse, who was offering incense, without giving his mother any face.

The wife of the main house awkwardly smiled and introduced, "This is the eldest son of our main house. He is betrothed to the daughter of the Minister of Judicial Review, Lord Dong, who is also the cousin of the Princess of Zhen."

Bai Qingyan glanced at the young man from the main house, who had lowered his head, his eyes reddened with genuine sorrow. She nodded slightly and then left with the third wife of the Fu family to a resting place for guests.

Fu Ruoxi’s elder brother, being a man, was not convenient to escort Bai Qingyan to the back. He had hoped his wife could do so, but saw her only whispering to their son, frowning. He silently knelt in a corner.

Mrs. Luo, Fu Ruoxi’s wife, watched Bai Qingyan’s back. After Bai Jinse had offered incense, she noticed no more guests arriving and used the excuse of changing clothes to find Bai Qingyan.

Mrs. Liu picked up her teacup, recalling how only the Dong family visited during the Bai family’s mourning. She sighed, lamenting the cold and indifferent world.

The Fu family’s mourning was desolate and quiet, causing everyone discomfort.
