Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Chapter 264: 1

After consulting with his subordinates, he could only send people to each mansion to invite the elders and have them take their children back.

The next morning, this matter became the hottest topic at each family’s breakfast table. Even Chun Xing couldn’t help but share it with Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, rinsed her mouth, and asked, "Did they mention why the fight started?"

"I heard it’s because Young Master Lu and his group were playing and singing the Bai family’s military songs at Fanque Tower. Then someone brought up the matter of the massacre of surrendered prisoners at Wengshan, and Young Master Lu got into a fight with them." Chun Tao’s voice was very low, clearly changing her view of Lu Yuanpeng and his friends.

Regardless of how unruly they usually were, last night’s fight was to defend their eldest sister.

"Before I came back, were many people in Dadu City discussing this matter?" she asked while wrapping iron sandbags around her body.

Chun Tao hurriedly knelt to help Bai Qingyan wrap the iron sandbags around her legs. "Before eldest sister came back, some people in the city were discussing it, but it hadn’t blown up. Moreover, the people were more concerned about eldest sister’s victory."

Chun Xing knelt on the other side, picked up an iron sandbag, wrapped it around, looked up at Bai Qingyan, and smiled. "I heard that Young Master Lu was taken back by his father, who twisted his ear."

Bai Qingyan smiled and straightened her sleeves. She said to Chun Xing, "Chun Xing, go to Nanny Tong and get a box of glutinous rice candy, and personally take it to the Qin Mansion for Yingshuang, reminding her not to eat too much and ruin her teeth."

Chun Xing got up, agreed, and left the room.

Seeing Chun Xing leave, Bai Qingyan said to Chun Tao, "Go tell Uncle Ping to send more people to watch the outside movements these days. Also, investigate those Jin and Wei people beaten by Lu Yuanpeng’s group."

Chun Tao nodded repeatedly. "Yes!"

As soon as Bai Qingyan finished tidying her clothes, Nanny Tong came in and bowed, saying, "Eldest sister, Nanny Jiang from the Eldest Princess’s side has returned. After paying respects to the lady, she said she is here to see you."

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Bai Qingyan was silent for a moment and said, "Nanny Tong, please invite Nanny Jiang in!"

Bai Qingyan turned and sat on the soft couch by the window. She heard Nanny Jiang’s voice asking Nanny Tong about her health, getting closer and closer. She lowered her eyes and adjusted her sleeves, feeling complicated.

Nanny Jiang’s return meant that her grandmother had received news of her return to Dadu City and sent Nanny Jiang here.

Logically, she should have gone to the Imperial Qing Temple to visit her grandmother yesterday, and even informed her that her seventh and ninth brothers were still alive.

But, Bai Qingyan had not forgotten that her grandmother was first the Eldest Princess of the Jin Lin family, and then their grandmother.

Of her seventeen brothers, only two remained. She couldn’t gamble their safety on her grandmother’s kindness.

The voices of Nanny Tong and Nanny Jiang grew closer... _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

"Eldest sister looks much better this time back. Doctor Hong said it was wrong to advise her to rest quietly before. You can see for yourself, Nanny Jiang."

With that, Nanny Tong lifted the curtain for Nanny Jiang to enter.
