Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Chapter 107: Brief Planning_1

The Emperor wanted to hear it. He also mentioned the Shuoyang Clan’s oppression.

Everyone has a heart. No matter how cold it is… there’s always a trace of warmth that can be touched.

That day in the grand hall, she fabricated her grandfather’s words about the Emperor’s ambition for greatness, which made the Emperor feel guilty.

She firmly believed that if the Emperor could see the Duke’s mansion’s righteousness, “I would rather the world betray me than betray the world,” he would surely make a decision.

“The clan’s oppression, selling off the Duke’s mansion properties to help Mr. Xiao achieve his goals, to push the Emperor to make a decision, and to pave the way for the Duke’s mansion’s future return to Shuoyang without being restrained by the clan.” Xiao Rongyan caressed the jade cicada in his hand, feeling respectful; he asked in a low voice, “Was the clan’s oppression also orchestrated by Miss Bai?”

This Miss Bai always had astounding actions that never failed to impress, followed by meticulous plans, one step after another, leaving people in awe.

...

“The clan’s greed was something I just took advantage of, making some plans to seek survival.”

In front of someone as shrewd as Xiao Rongyan, denial would only lead to endless questioning. It was better to admit it straightforwardly.

“No matter what, I will never forget Miss Bai’s assistance this time.”

“But each had their own needs and benefits, and it’s not about who helped whom. Let’s consider it mutual fulfillment. Besides, today at Zheliu Pavilion, Bai Qingyan said that if Mr. Xiao encounters difficulties in the future, the Bai family will assist with all the power they have.”

While speaking, she had already escorted Xiao Rongyan to the side gate. She adjusted the fox fur on her body and looked sideways at the man standing under the lamp at the Bai family’s side gate. “If Mr. Xiao still feels uneasy, consider this the Bai family’s way of repaying your two previous acts of assistance.”

The Duke’s mansion servants had already brought Xiao Rongyan’s horse to the door. Seeing Xiao Rongyan, the horse snorted out white mist and pawed its hoof, wanting to come closer.

“Please, Mr. Xiao…”

“Farewell.” After saluting Bai Qingyan, Xiao Rongyan stepped out of the Duke’s mansion and gracefully leaped onto his horse.

He held the reins with one hand and took the black gold whip handed over by the Duke’s servant with the other, sitting tall on the horse, looking in Bai Qingyan’s direction.

Under the swaying white silk lamp, the woman dressed in mourning clothes made a shallow bow, her face pale with a hint of frailty. Through the thin mist and snowflakes, her stunning beauty and noble demeanor were unmistakable.

Elegant and serene, calm and composed, with an inner fortitude and unfathomable scheming.

Xiao Rongyan admired such a person.

“It seems the tasks in this mansion are still too easy.” The steward nanny responsible for meals by the Eldest Princess stood at the kitchen door, hands folded at her lower abdomen, exuding authority without anger. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
