Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 751

Chapter 751: Chapter 748: Traitor_1

Shen Bozhong carefully observed Bai Qingyan, feeling that the figure of this girl named Bai Suqiu in his memory seemed very similar, but he couldn’t recall the features and appearance of that woman.

Bai Qingyan spoke to clear up his confusion: "Bai Suqiu is my aunt. I am Bai Qishan’s daughter, Bai Qingyan."

Hearing the name Bai Qishan, Shen Bozhong was slightly taken aback. He raised his hand to his head... He remembered that there seemed to be an extremely important matter he needed to convey to this person named Bai Qishan! _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

But... what news was it?!

"Where is Bai Qishan?" Shen Bozhong asked. Perhaps seeing this person would help him remember.

Suddenly asked about her father, Bai Qingyan, though deeply grieved after her heartache, was no longer as emotionally unstable as before. Instead, she was quite calm. She pressed her lips together and said, "My father has already passed away."

Shen Bozhong looked slightly shocked.

Bai Qingyan nodded to Shen Bozhong, turned with Zhenming and walked out of the side room. She instructed the steward to properly settle Shen Bozhong and then returned to Qinghui Courtyard.

Although she was eager to learn about the past from Shen Bozhong, those old matters did not hold much meaning for her. She was not bound by heavy doubts. What Bai Qingyan wanted to do now... was to look forward.

The next day, before dawn, Bai Qingyan was already preparing to depart for Shuoyang.

The Crown Prince had to attend the morning court session, so he sent Quan Yu to personally escort Bai Qingyan from the Duke of Zhen’s residence.

After sending Bai Qingyan onto the carriage, Quan Yu deeply bowed to Bai Qingyan: "I know the Princess of Zhen is loyal to His Highness. The Princess can rest assured. Here... Quan Yu will not let anyone estrange His Highness and the Princess of Zhen!"

Bai Qingyan’s slender, white hand lifted the curtain as she looked at Quan Yu’s clear and calm face. She nodded to him with a smile: "Thank you, Quan Yu."

"This is what I should do!" Quan Yu stepped back a pace and bowed again, "Safe journey, Princess of Zhen!"

In Quan Yu’s heart, Bai Qingyan was a hero, surpassing many men in the world. He didn’t want to see such a hero harmed by treacherous people and lose the trust of His Highness.

"Eldest Young Lady, take care on the journey!" Bai Jinxiu’s eyes reddened.

"Don’t worry, Eldest Young Lady. I will take good care of Grandmother!" Bai Jinse also said.

Bai Qingyan nodded, and let down the curtain.

"Let’s set off..."

The Bai family guard in the lead shouted. The convoy slowly moved, the guards walking in orderly steps.

On the eighteenth of February, after a slow journey, the convoy finally arrived near Kongtong Mountain. Bai Qingyan ordered someone to send a message back to Shuoyang, informing her mother that they would arrive in Shuoyang City around noon the next day and that they would rest for the night at Kongtong Mountain.

The posthouse was silent after nightfall. Only a bright full moon illuminated the night, spreading a silver frost across the ground.

Bai Qingyan sat under the lamp, closely examining the map of Daliang. She speculated where Bai Jinzhi and Liu Hong might have taken their troops. Suddenly, she heard a very slight sound of footsteps on the roof tiles.

Bai Qingyan raised her head to look at the roof, her eyes following the sound.
