Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713: Chapter 710: Jade Body Health and Well-being_1

Bai Weimei threw the handkerchief in her hand onto the black lacquered round table, instructing people to clear the meal, and waited with an air of importance for Bai Qihe to come over.

Not long after, Bai Qihe, accompanied by over ten guards, stepped into the courtyard, startling the busy servants and maids.

The morning sun gilded the blue bricks and green tiles of the courtyard with a golden light.

Bai Qihe glanced at the upper room and shouted, "The old master suddenly fell ill last night. From today, he will be resting quietly in the courtyard, and no one is allowed to disturb him! You dozen people keep this courtyard well-guarded. If anyone comes in and disrupts the old master’s recuperation, don’t blame me for being ruthless... sell what needs to be sold, kill what needs to be killed!"

Inside, Bai Weimei heard this and stood up in shock, even Bai Weimei’s old wife looked equally astonished.

"This unfilial son wants to imprison me!" Bai Weimei, leaning on his cane, hurried out, quickly pulling back the curtain but stumbling over the threshold.

"Husband!" Bai Weimei’s old wife cried out in alarm and hurriedly stood up with the help of a maid, "Quick! Quickly help the old master up!"

The house was suddenly in chaos. Several maids hustled to support Bai Weimei, who had fallen outside the door. Fortunately, the servants had cleaned the blue stone floor spotlessly in the early morning, so Bai Weimei didn’t get dirty.

Bai Weimei shook off the maids supporting him, leaned on his cane, standing under the corridor, glaring angrily at Bai Qihe: "You unfilial son! Are you trying to imprison your father?!"

Bai Weimei’s old wife also came out of the house. She looked at her son and then at her husband, eyes brimming with tears not knowing what to do, she could only scold her son: "Qihe! What are you trying to do?!"

Bai Qihe’s face remained calm and indifferent. "Now, the Bai family is managed by me, father; you are old... it’s inevitable you’ll be deceived into doing foolish things, so it’s best for you to peacefully enjoy your old age. I will certainly be filial to both of you, but please, do not meddle in clan matters anymore! I... also will not allow you to interfere and push our Bai Clan into the fire pit!"

After finishing, Bai Qihe turned and left.

Saying that Bai Weimei was deceived was merely Bai Qihe giving his father some face. Bai Qihe knew very well that it was others who were deceived by his father.

"Unfilial son! Unfilial son!" Bai Weimei’s face turned red with fury. Leaning on his cane, he hastily took two steps forward. His heart twisted in pain, clutching his chest, his bloodshot eyes widened as he fell back stiffly.

Bai Weimei’s old wife, in fear, ignored everything else and rushed towards him: "Husband! Husband!"

She rushed over to see Bai Weimei on the ground, his face flushed red. Trembling, she unfastened his collar buttons while shouting, "Quick, call the doctor!"

Bai Qihe ignored the exclamations coming from the courtyard, got into his carriage, and didn’t head directly to the Bai Clan ancestral hall. Instead, he instructed the driver to wait at a secluded spot.

Wrapped in a fur cloak, sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, Bai Qihe listened to the sound of icicles melting and dripping under the eaves outside, keeping a composed expression.
