Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Chapter 291: The Bai Family Bloodline_1

"My brother was poisoned early on and his body is very weak. Recently, he has been coughing up blood repeatedly. I would like to ask Doctor Hong from the Bai Mansion to take a look at him. Is that possible?" Xiao Rongyan asked.

Brother...

That would be the Emperor of Yan.

She thought for a moment, her fingers tapping lightly on the table. After a moment, she paused and said, "I don’t think there’s any need to keep this a secret."

Bai Qingyan’s gaze fell on Murong Li, who was looking enviously at Little Four. Little Four was speaking animatedly, gesticulating passionately.

"It can be said that the Fourth Prince heard there is a miracle doctor, Doctor Hong, in the Bai Mansion and asked him to treat the Emperor of Yan. The more openly this is done under the nose of the Emperor of Jin, the less suspicious he will be. Just like... when you openly took the Emperor of Yan boating, or brought the Fourth Prince to the temple fair today, the more straightforward the better."

Seeing that Bai Qingyan hadn’t answered for a long time, Xiao Rongyan thought Bai Qingyan was weighing the pros and cons. He didn’t expect that she was just thinking of a way.

"Exactly as the Commandery Princess said." Xiao Rongyan smiled, his profound eyes deeply gazing at Bai Qingyan. "In your opinion, when would be a good time for the Fourth Prince to visit?"

"My Fifth Aunt’s due date is approaching. Why not... have the Fourth Prince inquire about renowned doctors for a few days, and then visit right after my Fifth Aunt gives birth. Wouldn’t that be more natural? What do you think, Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Rongyan felt grateful towards Bai Qingyan and nodded. "Thank you, Commandery Princess."

Bai Jinzhi, satisfied after eating the Baoxiang Duck at Baoxiang Tower, bought two more to take home. She bid farewell to Xiao Rongyan and Murong Li in high spirits.

Bai Qingyan wondered what Bai Jinzhi had said to Murong Li earlier. When she and Bai Jinzhi were about to leave, Murong Li looked at Bai Qingyan with a bright gaze.

As soon as they got into the carriage, Bai Qingyan asked Bai Jinzhi, "What did you say to the Fourth Prince of Yan?"

"Nothing much, just talked about the Eldest Young Lady’s troop placements at Wengshan and Jiuqu Peak. That kid is quite clever. I was outside feeling dizzy without a map while listening to my sister, but he understood immediately when I explained it!" Bai Jinzhi couldn’t hide her fondness for her new little friend.

"You’re still a child yourself..." She smiled.

When Bai Qingyan’s carriage reached the gate of the Princess of Zhen’s residence, the two large lanterns and four small lanterns had already been lit, illuminating the six red-lacquered wooden doors brightly.

The gatehouse servants saw Bai Qingyan’s carriage and hurried out from the gate, speaking to those inside the carriage. "Eldest Young Lady, Fourth Young Lady, the Fifth Lady is in labor."

Hearing this, Bai Jinzhi rushed out of the carriage but was pulled back by Bai Qingyan. "Don’t panic. Fifth Aunt has already had two children. She’s experienced."

"Eldest Sister, do you think... Fifth Aunt will have a boy or a girl?" Bai Jinzhi was deeply worried.

Bai Jinzhi was a girl herself and had no prejudice against girls. She just feared... what if Fifth Aunt gave birth to a boy and the Emperor decided to target the Bai family again?

"Whether it’s a boy or a girl, they are all Bai family blood. Eldest Sister will protect them!" Bai Qingyan understood Bai Jinzhi’s concern. She tightly held Bai Jinzhi’s hand.

"I will protect this child too!" Bai Jinzhi said.

Seeing how much her sister had grown, she nodded, holding Bai Jinzhi’s hand as they walked towards Fifth Aunt’s courtyard.

Hearing that Fifth Lady Mrs. Qi was in labor, even Bai Jinxiu, who was far away at the Qin Mansion, couldn’t sit still and had the carriage readied to return.
