Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 659

Chapter 659: Chapter 656: The Noble Young Master_1

Hearing Chun Tao salute and call out, "Fourth Young Lady," Bai Qingyan raised her head and looked at Bai Jinzhi, who was standing beside the screen painted with misty mountains and rivers. Her eyes held a faint smile as she called to her, "Little Four..."

Bai Jinzhi’s tears burst out instantly, streaming down and soaking her clothes. She knelt on the yellow rosewood footstool by Bai Qingyan’s bed, tightly hugging Bai Qingyan’s slender waist, and choked out, "Eldest Young Lady! You scared me to death!"

Bai Qingyan raised her hand and gently patted Bai Jinzhi’s head, her voice soft. "Eldest Young Lady is fine..."

Although she could see that her eldest sister really was fine, Bai Jinzhi still couldn’t help but cry loudly, clutching Bai Qingyan tightly and refusing to let go.

Seeing Bai Jinzhi, Bai Qingyan knew that the news of the chaos at Wude Gate in Dadu City had reached Shuoyang. Her being injured couldn’t be hidden. She stroked Bai Jinzhi’s head and said softly, "Did you just leave Shuoyang and come straight to Dadu like this?"

Bai Jinzhi only cried without answering. It wasn’t until she had cried enough that she looked up, her eyes red, at Bai Qingyan, and while sobbing, she said, "I left Shuoyang in Bai Qingping’s hands! Eldest Young Lady, don’t worry... I ordered people to keep your injury a secret! Aunt doesn’t know yet. When I left, I told her I was worried about you being hurt and that I had to come to Dadu City to check on you..."

Bai Jinzhi didn’t finish her sentence. Mrs. Dong, although worried about Bai Qingyan, hadn’t agreed to let Bai Jinzhi go to Dadu City alone. This little girl had left a letter and then rode straight to Dadu City, daringly without bringing anyone along.

Bai Qingyan took the handkerchief from Chun Tao and wiped Bai Jinzhi’s tears. Because one arm was still immobile, she could only instruct Chun Tao, "Help Fourth Young Lady up!"

Chun Tao was about to help Bai Jinzhi up, but Bai Jinzhi, like a child, grabbed hold of Bai Qingyan’s slender waist, burying her head in her elder sister’s embrace. "I won’t get up! I just want to hold Eldest Young Lady like this..."

Bai Jinzhi called out once more and started crying again.

No one knew how anxious Bai Jinzhi had been on her way there, trying to hold back her tears.

At the moment she heard her eldest sister was in trouble, Bai Jinzhi felt as if she had been pushed into an ice hole, her whole body going cold.

Bai Jinxiu, who had just returned from preparing medicine for Bai Qingyan, heard Bai Jinzhi’s voice as she stepped into the courtyard. She couldn’t help but smile, lifting the curtain to enter the room. She took the medicine bowl from Cuibi’s black lacquered gold-painted tray and walked around the screen. "I heard Little Four’s crying from afar..."

Hearing her second sister’s voice, Bai Jinzhi hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve, somewhat embarrassed as she saluted Bai Jinxiu. "Second Sister!"

"Don’t worry, Eldest Young Lady is truly fine. This time... Eldest Young Lady staged this to safely return to Shuoyang. Don’t forget to tell others... she is often unconscious upon waking." Bai Jinxiu instructed Bai Jinzhi, then sat by the bed and handed the medicine to Bai Qingyan. "Eldest Young Lady, Doctor Hong said the formula has been changed and the medicine will be more bitter... please bear with it."

Bai Qingyan nodded, took the white porcelain bowl, stirred the medicine with a spoon, and asked Bai Jinzhi, "Have you gone to greet Second Aunt since you returned?"
