Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Chapter 139: Dressed Beast_1

Hearing Miss Bai’s words insulting King Liang, Tongji could no longer endure it. Enduring the pain in his chest, he shouted, “You are just an infertile old woman. Our prince is deeply in love with you… It’s a blessing you’ve earned over several lifetimes! In this entire Dadu City… except for our prince, who else would go to such lengths just to marry you! Our prince is so deeply in love with you?! And you are so ungrateful!”

She sneered. Tongji’s admission confirmed her suspicions.

Her voice was cold and indifferent, yet extremely chilling, “That day in front of the Bai Mansion, wasn’t I clear enough? Even if King Liang is a prince, I, Bai Qingyan, despise his petty behavior. I’d rather marry a pig or a dog than him! Instead of reflecting on his actions, King Liang has aggravated his behavior, becoming more despicable. Does he have any sense of shame left? He’s simply a beast in clothes!”

Hearing Bai Qingyan insult King Liang, Tongji became furious, his eyes almost popping out. He screamed hoarsely, “How dare you call our prince a beast in clothes?! I think you are worse than a pig or a dog, ungrateful and cold-hearted! You are not worthy of our prince at all!”

“I’ll beat this foul-mouthed…”

Bai Jinzhi was about to step forward and scold him but was held back firmly by Bai Jinxiu. Bai Jinxiu’s clear and steady voice rang out, “Since you think my eldest sister doesn’t deserve King Liang, and my eldest sister despises your King Liang! Why do you bother running this errand for King Liang, engaging in such despicable acts to ruin someone’s reputation? You do this… and it is unjust! As a servant of King Liang, instead of advising your master to act honorably, you assist him in his vile ways. This is disloyalty! As a disloyal and unjust person… what right do you have to insult my eldest sister?!”

...

“Eldest Princess… Miss Bai!” Chun Yan cried out, “His Highness’s love for Miss Bai is sincere! I beg the Eldest Princess and Miss Bai to understand! I did this only for Miss Bai’s future! Miss Bai has difficulties in bearing children. In this Dadu City, which noble family would want such a main wife? Only His Highness… Whether the Duke’s Mansion is glorious or all the men have died and the glory is no more, His Highness has never changed his deep affection for Miss Bai! Miss Bai, think about it. In this Dadu City, except for His Highness, who would go to such lengths for you?!”

Such deep affection, such relentless effort, just to marry one’s beloved. As Chun Yan said… even if the Duke’s Mansion’s glory is no more, King Liang’s love has never changed for Miss Bai. This… could be considered true love, right?!

Some soft-hearted commoners were moved.

“What a King Liang! What relentless effort! I never knew there were people who consider despicable deeds as deep affection!” Dong Qingyue’s expression was filled with anger. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

“So, according to you, as long as someone is willing to use unscrupulous methods for my eldest sister, my eldest sister should be grateful for his deep affection, regardless of what he does, even ruining my eldest sister’s reputation and forcing a marriage under my grandfather’s name? Should my eldest sister be grateful and submissive? Whose logic is this?!” Bai Jintong’s anger filled his chest, his tone rising.

“A matchmaker could have arranged this honorably, but King Liang chose to engage in these despicable acts repeatedly. And he dares to speak of marrying my daughter as a legitimate wife! This is ludicrous!” Mrs. Dong could no longer suppress her anger and shouted, “Did my Bai family ever block your King Liang’s matchmakers?! Ruining someone’s reputation is tantamount to ending one’s life. Such infatuation… my daughter cannot bear it!”

Bai Jinzhi remembered Bai Qingyan’s instructions in the carriage, shook off Bai Jinxiu’s hand, and snatched the unopened letters from Chun Yan’s hand, “I want to see how King Liang expresses his feelings to my eldest sister. Let us open and look!”

Saying that, Bai Jinzhi had already torn open one of the letters and read aloud, “Duke of Zhen, received your kind letter, Jin Kingdom’s southern border military arrangements…”

“This is not a love letter to my eldest sister!” Bai Jinzhi instantly recalled her elder sister’s words on the carriage. She widened her eyes and looked up at the Eldest Princess and Bai Qingyan, “King Liang… is framing Grandfather for treason by having these letters placed in Grandfather’s study through Chun Yan!”
