Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chapter 153: Breach of Trust_1

After listening to the Eldest Princess, Wei Zhong slightly raised his eyes. His gaze fell on Bai Qingyan’s embroidered shoes before turning towards her direction and solemnly bowing, “Wei Zhong greets the master!”

When Wei Zhong entered just now, Bai Qingyan observed his breath and steps closely. He must be quite a formidable practitioner.

Wei Zhong was already over forty years old, with a finger missing on his right hand. Yet, he looked very spirited and robust. His voice was finermpared to ordinary men, and he did not have a beard.

She roughly guessed in her heart that Wei Zhong was likely a eunuch who followed her grandmother into the Bai family years ago. Therefore, he was not the leader of the secret guard, only responsible formmunication.

“On the fifteenth of January, Grandmother is going to the Imperial Qing Temple. Please arrange for the leader of the secret guard to meet me,” Bai Qingyan said.

Since Wei Zhong had already acknowledged his master, he naturally listened only to Bai Qingyan’s orders. After kowtowing, he said, “I dare not let the master be troubled. Rest assured, master, Wei Zhong will make proper arrangements without letting anyone notice.”

After Wei Zhong left, the Eldest Princess looked at Bai Qingyan, who remained where she was and did notme to her side. Her eyes were red, “Be careful in everything when you go to the southern borders!”

Bai Qingyan stood up and saluted, “Grandmother, rest assured. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now.”

The Eldest Princess pressed her lips together, her expression sorrowful. She nodded after a long while, “The most hard-working these days has been Kid. Kid, please go and rest!”

Seeing Bai Qingyan properly saluting and exiting the main room, the Eldest Princess’s lips trembled before tears finally slipped from therners of her eyes.

“Eldest Princess…” Nanny Jiang, holding a bowl of lamb milk with red date tea, took small steps around the screen. She lifted the beaded curtain and entered. Seeing the Eldest Princess’s tears, she stepped forward and gently persuaded, “Since the snd girl’s marriage, the eldest girl has been tirelessly busy every day. The major event hasncluded today. The eldest girl must be exhausted.”

Without hearing a response from the Eldest Princess, Nanny Jiang’s eyes reddened further. She tried to cheer up and smiled, “Eldest Princess, if you don’t wish for dinner, I noticed the red dates sent by the eldest girl last time. Should Iok a bowl of lamb milk and red date tea for you? Today’s steamed cakes are also good. Shall I bring you a plate?”

After a long time, the Eldest Princess shook her head, “Give it to Kid.”

Bai Qingyan had just left Ji Tingyu and was walking towards Qinghui Courtyard, ampanied by Xiao Ruohai, whose wound had already been bandaged.

“Xiao Ruojiang has already taken people ahead to set off for the southern borders. On the way, they will send fast-riding messengers to report the news to the eldest girl, striving to grasp the situation in the southern borders entirely before her arrival,” Xiao Ruohai, maintaining a respectful posture half a step behind Bai Qingyan, said. “Additionally, the matters entrusted by the eldest girl have been clarified. The advisor named Du Zhiwei from King Liang’s residence who blocked the knife for King Liang on the day of the snd girl’s marriage succumbed to his injuries.”

She halted in her steps, died?!

The white silk fabric in therridor swayed before her eyes, reminding her of King Liang’s handwritten letter.

Finally, she understood why King Liang had made such a mistake.

King Liang was someone who played his roles to perfection and had deep calculations. But he was not as capable as Du Zhiwei, whouldntrol everything and scheme meticulously.

She indeed felt a deep sense of regret over Du Zhiwei’s death. It seemed that King Liang’s life was truly destined to be spared. In her previous life, her snd sister Bai Jinxiu had blocked the knife. In this life, it was Du Zhiwei who sacrificed his life. The one who always survived was King Liang.

Without Du Zhiwei at King Liang’s side, she did not have to worry about him as much.

She turned to look at Xiao Ruohai, who had changed into clean clothes, “Thank you both.”

“It’s our duty to serve the eldest girl!” Xiao Ruohai hesitated for a moment before lifting his robe and kneeling to kowtow, “Today, when fighting with King Liang’s guard Gao Sheng, I intended to recruit him for the eldest girl. I showed mercy but did not expect to implicate three brothers who died in vain. I beg for the eldest girl’s forgiveness.”
