Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 707

Chapter 707: Chapter 704: Repay Grievance Directly_1

Bai Qingyan noticed that the elder’s shoes and the hem of his long robe were slightly wet. She realized that the elderly man had probably walked all the way without taking a carriage. Soon, she understood his identity and bowed respectfully to him: "Greetings, Mr. Min."

The renowned scholar of Wei Kingdom, Min Qianqiu, was someone Bai Qingyan had never met, but she had long heard of his reputation. In the past, her respected teacher, Mr. Guan Yongchong, had also mentioned this great scholar.

Seeing Bai Qingyan bow in greeting, the guards of the Bai family, including Lu Ping, quickly followed suit and bowed to Mr. Min Qianqiu.

·

The news of Mr. Min Qianqiu’s visit to Bai Mansion was sent back by Lu Ping’s men in advance.

Fortunately, Mrs. Dong had already made preparations and had tidied up an elegant and tranquil courtyard in the front yard for Mr. Min Qianqiu’s residence.

Upon hearing from the people Bai Qingyan sent back that Mr. Min Qianqiu was coming, Mrs. Dong calmly arranged for Mr. Min’s favorite pastries and dishes to be delivered to his lodging.

Over these days, while Mr. Min Qianqiu was staying at the inn, Mrs. Dong discreetly sent people to find out about his daily preferences and habits. They discovered what kind of people he liked to have around him, what kind of teaware he used, and even what type of tea he preferred.

Therefore, Mrs. Dong was able to make the preparations effortlessly and ensure that Mr. Min would feel at home.

The Bai Mansion bustled with activity due to Mr. Min Qianqiu’s visit.

When Mr. Min’s carriage and Bai Qingyan’s carriage arrived at the gate of the Bai Mansion, Mrs. Dong had already led several loyal servants outside to welcome them.

A recent sun shower had just cleaned the green tiles and blue bricks, making them shine.

Mrs. Dong saw Mr. Min Qianqiu, smiling faintly, being helped out of the carriage by his servant. She stepped forward to greet him with a smile. Before she could bow, she saw Bai Qingyan being assisted out of the carriage by Chun Tao, and Bai Qingyan invited Mr. Min with a gesture: "Mr. Min, please..."

"Princess of Zhen, please," Mr. Min replied with a smile.

Mrs. Dong was quite surprised. She had heard of Mr. Min’s reputation as a peculiar old man who would show a sour face regardless of one’s status if he was displeased. She never expected Mr. Min to be so amiable to her daughter.

Watching Bai Qingyan and Mr. Min walking side by side toward the Bai Mansion, Mrs. Dong nodded to Mr. Min: "Mr. Min..."

Mr. Min stopped and bowed to Mrs. Dong: "Mrs. Bai."

Mrs. Dong stepped aside to invite Mr. Min inside.

Since Mr. Min’s clothes were slightly damp, Mrs. Dong had someone lead him to change and rest first.

Before they parted ways, Bai Qingyan respectfully introduced Mr. Gu to Mr. Min: "Mr. Min, this is Mr. Gu... He is a loyal servant of the Bai family, having grown up with my grandfather. He knows more about the Bai family than I do. If Mr. Min has any inquiries, feel free to ask Mr. Gu."

Back in Boyun Courtyard, Bai Qingyan shed her earlier sickly demeanor. Although her chest still ached faintly, she was feeling much better. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
