Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 -108: Observing Mourning_1

Nanny Jiang’s words were clear in her heart. It was precisely because she understood that she was willing to restrain her murderous thoughts for her grandmother and spare that illegitimate child.

“I will handle the matter of keeping the child and dismissing the mother for Grandmother. Don’t let her worry about it anymore,” she said.

“Nanny, it’s hard for Grandmother, but isn’t it also hard for Eldest Young Lady?” Bai Jinxiu clutched her handkerchief tightly, speaking tearfully for Bai Qingyan. “That bastard my father left behind is a disaster for the Bai family! What he said on the street that day was terrifying. Leaving him might bring great trouble to the family at any time. Would Eldest Young Lady have to clean up the mess again then? Her health is already poor, she’s exhausted for this family, and she was whipped at Wude Gate today. Up to now, she hasn’t had a moment to let Doctor Hong properly take her pulse. Nanny, instead of feeling sorry for Eldest Young Lady, you are asking her to think of a way to keep that bastard?”

Bai Jinxiu choked with sobs, tears flowing like broken beads. “Since childhood, Eldest Young Lady has never complained about pain or discomfort even when injured. Does Nanny really think she’s invincible and never hurts?”

Under the light, Nanny Jiang woke up as if from a dream. She panicked, looking Bai Qingyan up and down nervously, her voice trembling with tears. “Eldest Young Lady, Eldest Young Lady, can you hold on? It’s Nanny’s muddleheadedness…it’s Nanny’s fault! I’ll send for Doctor Hong right away!”

“Doctor Hong is currently tending to Ji Tingyu. Ji Tingyu has lost a lot of blood and…” she bit her lip, unable to continue, thinking of Ji Tingyu cutting off his arm again for the Duke’s family. Her eyes ached with tears. “I’m fine.”

...

Compared to Ji Tingyu, what did one whip mean?!

She gripped Bai Jinxiu’s hand, comforting her. “The executioner showed mercy. Compared to the punishment cane, it was much lighter. Otherwise, how could I still be standing here?” _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

Hearing the sound of the beaded curtain, maids and nannies quietly left the main hall.

Nanny Jiang wiped her tears, lifting the curtain for Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu. Inside, Mrs. Dong was already supporting the Eldest Princess to sit at the round table.

Mrs. Dong had come to report to the Eldest Princess about selling the Duke’s family properties, explaining the reasons and handling of the matter clearly. The Eldest Princess knew that Mrs. Dong and Bai Qingyan were making plans for the widows of the Duke’s family to return to Shuoyang, and had no objections. Instead, she admired their decisiveness, not worrying about being bullied by the clan after returning to Shuoyang.

Having finished speaking with Mrs. Dong, she felt a bit relieved and was about to dine when she heard Nanny Jiang’s words outside the door.

The Eldest Princess and Mrs. Dong stood inside listening for a while before coming out from behind the beaded curtain.

The Eldest Princess, with her eyes closed, fingers playing with her Buddha beads, her silver-streaked hair shining under the candlelight, making her face look even more haggard.
