Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Chapter 129: Precious_1

Now that she went to the spirit hall, there were no more than two possibilities…

One was that the illegitimate son was in the spirit hall. Then perhaps this matter was not caused by her grandmother. It might have been the illegitimate son’s birth mother or Jade Lotus’s father, the manor steward, who feared that Ji Tingyu would know his new wife had died. So they bribed the Duke of Zhen’s servants to do this. She would then end that beast’s life with one strike and then the lives of his mother and that steward.

If the illegitimate son were not in the spirit hall, then it meant that her grandmother knew when she made people investigate who brought the doctor into the house and moved the illegitimate son away in advance. Then, all these series of events would be very clear. Her grandmother wanted Ji Tingyu’s life.

Her heart surged with immense anger. There was also a chilling sadness and the deepest, most heartbreaking disappointment in her grandmother. But she absolutely could not lose her sanity and become chaotic. She had been extremely cautious with every step since her rebirth. The situation had not yet been determined. It was not yet time for her to lose her composure!

Bai Qingyan patted Bai Jintong’s hand, tightly gripping the long knife and strode toward the front hall, stepping into the spirit hall.

The illegitimate son was indeed not there.

...

But she did not expect to be greeted by the tear-filled eyes of the Eldest Princess and Nanny Jiang.

Her heart sank lower and lower.

“Eldest Daughter…” Nanny Jiang called out and then burst into tears.

Until the moment she saw the Eldest Princess, even though the illegitimate son was already not in the spirit hall, she still held onto a sliver of hope in her heart… Perhaps the matter of wanting Ji Tingyu’s life was not her grandmother’s doing, and her grandmother was just covering for the illegitimate son and his mother!

Her hand, holding the knife, trembled uncontrollably. Coldness rose from the depths of her heart. She herself did not realize her eyes were already red.

She brought the knife in with great fanfare to show the Eldest Princess her resolve to kill the illegitimate son to protect Ji Tingyu.

The Eldest Princess was waiting for her in the spirit hall, intending to show her determination to protect the illegitimate son.

“Grandmother!”

“Eldest Princess!”

Bai Jintong and Lu Ping saluted the Eldest Princess.
