Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295: Chapter 293: Advice_1

Madam Qi hurriedly wiped her tears and nodded to Mrs. Dong, choking with gratitude.

"But besides being daughters and mothers, my fifth sister-in-law and I are also wives of the Bai family. We’ve all vowed to our husbands to stay together through life and death. Moreover, my fifth sister-in-law just gave birth, how could Madam Qi, as a mother, bear to see her daughter and granddaughter separated?"

"I will never leave the Bai family!"

Mrs. Qi’s voice came from behind the screen, startling both Madam Qi and Mrs. Dong.

"You..." Madam Qi stood up in shock, holding onto the table edge. "Have you lost your mind? Don’t you know you’re still in confinement? How can you leave your room?"

Mrs. Dong quickly walked around the screen and saw Mrs. Qi standing there, pale and wrapped in a thin cloak, with terrified maids standing behind her, not daring to lift their heads.

Mrs. Dong helped Mrs. Qi and turned to shout, "Where is Nanny Zhai? How could she let the fifth lady come out in the wind during her confinement? Nanny Qin, quickly... get my cloak and light a brazier in the room!"

Mrs. Qi didn’t move, gripping Mrs. Dong’s hand tightly. "Sister-in-law, it’s already an offense for me to come to your courtyard during my confinement. I won’t go inside."

"Why are you saying such things at a time like this? We are family, there’s nothing to avoid!" Mrs. Dong, displeased that Mrs. Qi wasn’t taking care of herself, scolded her with a stern face.

She dragged Mrs. Qi in, settled her on the bed, wrapped her in a brocade quilt, and then harshly questioned Mrs. Qi’s personal maids, "How could you serve the fifth lady like this? Don’t you know she’s still in confinement?"

"Sister-in-law..." Mrs. Qi tugged at Mrs. Dong’s sleeve, her eyes red. "Don’t blame them. I heard my mother wanted to see you and feared she might be here to ask for a separation letter behind my back, so I came along to see."

As she spoke, Mrs. Qi glanced at Madam Qi.

Madam Qi’s tears flowed continuously, pressing a handkerchief to her chest as she sat on the soft couch. "For whose sake am I doing this?"

"Mother, I’ve made myself clear. I will never leave the Bai family in this life. Let alone my feelings for Fifth Brother, I just gave birth to my daughter! I can’t let the world see the Bai family, which has been loyal and sacrificed so much, fall to ruin!"

Mrs. Qi’s eyes were sore, her words were firm. This was what she had unintentionally overheard in a conversation between her sister-in-law and her own mother.

Hearing her daughter’s words, Madam Qi trembled and couldn’t say anything, clutching the black lacquered table beside her. After a long silence, she couldn’t help but cry bitterly, hiding her face in her handkerchief.

Because she knew, she couldn’t take her daughter away...

Not just today, but even if she pleaded with the Empress for a separation decree, her daughter wouldn’t leave since she had already rooted herself in the Bai family.

But she only had this one daughter!

Madam Qi’s two daughters-in-law saw Madam Qi coming out of the room. They hurried to support her from both sides.

"Mother, I just saw my sister-in-law come in. Did you and sister-in-law and the madam agree that sister-in-law can go home after her confinement?" Qi family’s second daughter-in-law asked.
