Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 608

Chapter 608: Chapter 605: Serious Matters_1

Madam Luo, the second wife of the Fu Family, genuinely grieved over the death of her mother-in-law.

Yet she didn’t know how to be as strong as her mother-in-law and support the family; she was filled with sorrow.

At this moment, Madam Luo could still kneel in the mourning hall, purely for the sake of her two children, mustering up her strength.

Bai Qingyan wondered if Madam Fu had a spirit in heaven, seeing such a scene, how heartbroken she would be.

She also felt fortunate that after the incident with the Bai family, they stayed united, which allowed them to overcome the crisis together.

Mrs. Song had been instructed by her husband, Dong Qingping, to make sure Bai Qingyan visited the Dong Mansion today. Just after leaving the Fu family, Mrs. Song invited the second wife, Mrs. Liu, Bai Qingyan, and the seventh young lady, Bai Jinse, to visit Dong Mansion together.

Mrs. Liu thought it had been long since Bai Qingyan last saw her uncle, so she agreed with a smile and said she would trouble them by visiting.

Mrs. Song held Bai Qingyan’s hand while boarding a carriage and mentioned that Dong Qingping wanted her to come to the mansion for some important matters. She also inquired about Dong Changlan’s funeral, the battle in Dengzhou, and Madam Dong’s health. Lastly, she asked if her biological daughter in Shuoyang, Dong Tingzhen, had caused any trouble for Bai Qingyan.

"Aunt, don’t worry. Tingzhen is always sensible. My mother’s mood has been good every day with Tingzhen accompanying her, so I would like to ask you and Uncle if Tingzhen can stay a few more days," Bai Qingyan said with a smile.

"Good! It’s all good! With Tingzhen by your mother’s side, I am very relieved! As long as she doesn’t trouble you..." Mrs. Song lightly stroked Bai Qingyan’s delicate hand, feeling the calluses on her palm, and couldn’t help but feel pained.

But Mrs. Song knew that the Bai family now relied on Bai Qingyan. Telling her to take a rest would be useless, so she didn’t say it, just gently patted Bai Qingyan’s hand.

"Aunt, is there any misunderstanding about Tingfang?" Bai Qingyan asked cautiously.

"It’s said that the concubine-born daughters of the Dong family are deeply scheming. Though Tingfang didn’t grow up under my knees, she is indeed deep-minded but would never dare to do such a thing. The niece of the first lady of the Fu family didn’t want to marry the legitimate son of the main Fu Family, which resulted in this!" Mrs. Song felt displeased, "Now it’s our family’s daughter being criticized as shameless! Recently, Tingfang attended a Chrysanthemum Banquet and was ridiculed, and even Tinglan was cold-shouldered. Fortunately, Tinglan is still young. She cried on the first day and forgot it the next day..."

Dong Tingfang wasn’t born to Mrs. Song, but as a legitimate mother, Mrs. Song had always been kind, never using any shady means to torment concubine-born daughters.

What truly made Mrs. Song angry and pained was that her daughters, Dong Tingzhen and Dong Tinglan, were implicated. When it came to future marriages, this matter would be brought up, making Mrs. Song tear several handkerchiefs in anger. Yet she had to refrain from punishing Dong Tingfang harshly, as she kept seeking death.

"Aunt, did Tingfang never want to marry from the beginning or was it after the incident with the Fu family?" Bai Qingyan asked.
