Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 760

Chapter 760: Chapter 757: Little Brat_1

"Nanny, please send someone to tell Yue Shi that I need to change my clothes. Have him wait a bit," Bai Qingyan instructed Nanny Tong.

"Yes!"

On the way back to Boyun Courtyard, they had to pass by the Immortal Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Yue Shi was fast. By the time Bai Qingyan reached the Immortal Pavilion, he had already arrived.

From a distance, Yue Shi saw Bai Qingyan dressed in a blue single robe and frost-white skirt. He hurriedly walked out of the Immortal Pavilion and quickly greeted her.

After saluting Bai Qingyan, Yue Shi said, "Young Lady, the master’s elder brother has arrived outside Shuoyang City and requests to see you. Is it convenient for you to step out?"

Yue Shi knew that Bai Qingyan had always claimed to be ill. Now he came to invite her to go outside the city, which was a somewhat difficult request. But since Emperor Yan wanted to see her, Yue Shi had to come even if it was a bit thick-skinned.

"Doctor Hong has already informed me. You wait by the side gate. I’ll return to Boyun Courtyard to change my clothes and then go with you," Bai Qingyan told Yue Shi.

Yue Shi was filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Young Lady!"

When Nanny Tong heard that Bai Qingyan was going out, she pondered over whether to ask Lu Ping to accompany Bai Qingyan.

Returning to Boyun Courtyard, Bai Qingyan had Chun Tao help her into men’s attire.

Bai Qingyan looked tall and vigorous, wearing a Jade Official’s hat. Dressed in men’s clothes, she had an almost indistinguishable appearance, looking like a handsome young lad from a wealthy family.

As Nanny Tong buttoned Bai Qingyan’s robe, she said, "Young Lady, let me call Lu Ping to accompany you."

Bai Qingyan adjusted her sleeves, covering the iron sandbag underneath, and said, "Uncle Ping often travels outside. People know he is from the Bai Mansion. If he accompanies me, it will reveal that I’m from the Bai Mansion. There are Hidden Guards following me. Just call two guards who usually do not go out to accompany me."

What Bai Qingyan said made sense. Nanny Tong did not argue further. She went out to arrange for two unfamiliar guards from the Bai Mansion to accompany Bai Qingyan.

Yue Shi anxiously waited under the green shade of the willow tree outside the corner gate, leading his horse, but did not hear any movement from within the gate for a long time.

"You little brat!"

Yue Shi heard a voice, looked up towards the alley entrance, and saw the Hidden Guard, whom he had met at the posthouse before, calling him from atop a tall horse.

"Let’s go! Hurry!" The Hidden Guard said and then spurred his horse forward.

Yue Shi dared not delay, immediately mounted his horse, turned, and followed.

Bai Qingyan, dressed in men’s attire, rode ahead. They galloped out of the city straight towards Ying Lake. Yue Shi caught up with Bai Qingyan only after they had left the city.

Ying Lake was clear, with algae floating at the bottom, fish swimming around, and the lake surface mirrored the blue sky with drifting white clouds. The ornate painted boats on the lake seemed to float among the clouds.

As the boats moved, the water rippled, breaking the reflection of the clouds, as if slicing through the sky.
