Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 675

Chapter 675: Chapter 672: Find a Way_1

That nanny, after greeting Bai Qingyan properly, stammered about her purpose for coming.

She made it clear that the Crown Princess Consort knew her brother’s tampering with military provisions was wrong. Thankfully, Bai Jinzhi discovered it and informed the Crown Prince. This was better than outsiders finding out and making a fuss. She mentioned that the Crown Princess Consort had already admonished her brother, and it would not happen again. Her words also served as a warning for Bai Qingyan not to meddle further.

The nanny’s cryptic tone advised Bai Qingyan to focus on her recovery and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Bai Qingyan, weak and leaning on the pillow, listened to the nanny’s ramblings with a stern face. Her brow furrowed as she clutched her chest and began coughing violently.

"Eldest Young Lady!" Bai Jinzhi pushed aside the nanny blocking the light in front of Bai Qingyan, trying to help her ease her chest pain but hesitated for fear of touching her wound. She was so scared that she didn’t know what to do, sitting at the bedside.

"Eldest Young Lady!" Chun Tao quickly handed over a handkerchief, discreetly nodding at Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan took the handkerchief, covering her lips and crushing the fish float inside it. When she opened her hand, there was bright red blood on the white handkerchief. Bai Jinzhi felt her mind go blank as if covered by a flurry of white snow, leaving an empty void.

The nanny’s face turned pale, flustered and helpless. "This... This has nothing to do with me!"

"Eldest Young Lady!" Chun Tao cried out in surprise.

Unaware of the circumstances, Bai Jinzhi was scared to tears. "Eldest Young Lady! Eldest Young Lady, are you alright? Chun Tao! Go get Doctor Hong! Quickly, go get Doctor Hong!"

"Don’t... don’t alarm Grandmother and Second Aunt!" Bai Qingyan gasped for breath as she instructed.

Qinghui Courtyard was thrown into chaos. Chun Tao rushed out to call for Doctor Hong. Bai Jinzhi helped Bai Qingyan lie down, crying uncontrollably. She turned her head and glared fiercely at the nanny from the Crown Princess Consort’s side.

Shortly after, Doctor Hong was carried in by a guard, followed by Lu Ninghuan and Bai Jinse with reddened eyes.

The crowd that rushed in pushed the imposing nanny outside past the screen. The nanny could only peer inside through the gauze screen.

Chun Tao came out from behind the screen, eyes red, bowing slightly to the nanny. "Apologies, nanny. Our Eldest Young Lady is unable to listen to you as she has vomited blood. Please return to the residence. Once our Eldest Young Lady recovers, she will personally visit the Crown Prince to apologize."

Upon hearing this, the nanny’s face changed drastically. Earlier, after seeing the Crown Princess Consort, the Crown Prince had sent her with heavy gifts to thank the Princess of Zhen and Commandery Princess Gaoyi for not pursuing the matter further and for sparing her brother.

However, being the Crown Princess Consort’s wet nurse, she believed that there was no need for the esteemed Crown Princess Consort to thank the Princess and Commandery Princess. The Crown Princess Consort is the future Empress, a ruler, while Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi, even though titled Princess and Commandery Princess, are still subjects! Why should the Crown Princess Consort lower herself to show favor to the Princess of Zhen’s residence?

Due to this, the nanny’s words were inevitably harsh, attempting to assert the Crown Princess Consort’s authority over Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi, emphasizing that they should no longer investigate matters related to the Crown Princess’s brother.

Who would have thought that Bai Qingyan would vomit blood?!
