Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 763

Chapter 763: Chapter 760: Determined to Win_1

"I really hope to see the day when the world is peaceful, to see... all the people living stable lives. Unfortunately, I fear that my health won’t last until the Yan defeats Wei."

Bai Qingyan held her teacup without speaking, merely following Murong Yu’s gaze. She saw several children chasing an old man who carried grass-made insects and birds on a bamboo pole, each clamoring for one, creating a lively scene.

"It is inevitable that the long-divided world will come together again. Someone will make it happen, and there will be a day when everyone lives in peace," Bai Qingyan said.

As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, she saw a Bai family guard hastily board the decorated boat. He entered, saluted Bai Qingyan, and looked at her with urgency, "Young lady..."

Bai Qingyan guessed that perhaps the Daliang army report had arrived. She stood and bowed to Murong Yu, "If you have no other matters, I bid you farewell. I hope you return to your country soon and travel safely."

Murong Yu rose from his seat with the support of the table and returned Bai Qingyan’s salute.

Although this visit had not finalized the marriage between Bai Qingyan and Murong Yan, Murong Yu knew about their affection for each other. He also knew that Bai Qingyan was a broad-minded, honest, and open person. Murong Yu felt content.

"I have one more request. I hope... Ar Yan can honor me with a cup of tea and call me brother," Murong Yu said, a gentle smile on his handsome face. He feared he wouldn’t live to see Bai Qingyan and Murong Yan marry and drink the tea served by his sister-in-law.

Bai Qingyan understood Murong Yu’s meaning. She looked at the cup of tea in front of Murong Yu and nodded.

"Thank you..." Murong Yu, with a smile, knelt on the spot.

Bai Qingyan picked up the tea, knelt before Murong Yu, and spoke, "Brother, please drink the tea..." _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Murong Yu’s smile deepened, he took a sip, nodded, and turned to the elderly eunuch, Feng Yao, standing behind him.

Feng Yao respectfully handed Murong Yu a square box inlaid with pearls and turquoise.

Murong Yu took the box and smiled as he handed it to Bai Qingyan, "This was left by my mother. My wife has one, and this one is for you. I give it to you on her behalf."

Bai Qingyan understood. It was a gift for the daughter-in-law from Empress Ji. Although she felt it was inappropriate to receive such a heavy gift at this time, Murong Yu didn’t have long to live. He might not make it to the day she and Murong Yan got married. She respectfully accepted the box with both hands.

Seeing Bai Qingyan accept the box, Murong Yu smiled even more. He stood and helped Bai Qingyan up, whispering, "I hope... you both live well!"

Some words did not need to be spoken. They both understood.

Murong Yu hoped Bai Qingyan and Murong Yan would live well.

"Thank you, brother!"

Murong Yu’s guard thoughtfully handed the wrapped box to Bai Qingyan’s guard, ensuring it was securely wrapped before escorting Bai Qingyan off the decorated boat.
