Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Cannot Be Distracted_1

The Bai family had now encountered a great misfortune, and all the men in the family had perished. If the news of the Eldest Princess’s severe illness spread, it was feared that the hearts of the Bai family would scatter. Nanny Jiang had already instructed Bai Jinzhi not to make a fuss, and Bai Jinzhi understood the seriousness and naturally did not dare to publicize it.

The scene of her grandmother spitting blood and passing away upon hearing the news suddenly appeared before her eyes. Her whole body went numb as if a hand had clenched her wildly beating heart, causing her chest to feel like it was being torn apart.

“Eldest Young Lady?!” Bai Jinzhi saw that Bai Qingyan’s face had lost all color and quickly called out.

She regained her composure, turned around, and bowed to Dong Changyuan, “There are many matters in the residence, Changyuan, as family, please forgive the lack of hospitality.”

“Please attend to your matters, Cousin!” Dong Changyuan responded quickly.

She nodded, took Bai Jinzhi’s hand, and hurried towards the inner quarters.

As they walked, Bai Jinzhi said to Bai Qingyan, “Fortunately, last night Doctor Hong and Doctor Huang were both attending to Fifth Aunt. Nanny Jiang has already sent someone to fetch Doctor Hong and Doctor Huang! I came to inform Eldest Young Lady at once!”

“What is with the spitting of blood?!” Bai Qingyan asked through gritted teeth.

“It’s nothing but that treacherous mother and her son in Qingming Courtyard!” Bai Jinzhi grinded her teeth. Her reddening eyes were filled with hatred, wishing she could give that shrew a few more whips, “That shrew heard Doctor Huang, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, was with Fifth Aunt and demanded that Doctor Huang go to her son for his injury, saying… saying that the Bai family only had her son left, and that her son was the future Duke of Zhen! Grandmother was already overwhelmed with grief. Nanny Jiang had ordered not to mention this matter, but the mother and son shouted it all over! Grandmother, upon hearing this, was so furious her face turned purple and she spat blood!”

Bai Qingyan’s anger surged as she clenched the hand warmer tightly, wanting to immediately skin that mother and son alive! They were indeed troublemakers and could not be left alive.

The two hurried into the Changshou Courtyard. The maidservants opened the thick felt curtain as they saw the eldest and fourth young ladies approaching in haste.

Inside, the Eldest Princess, pale-faced, was leaning against the window on a large peony pillow embroidered with gold thread. A fine cashmere blanket covered her legs. She took the medicine and water handed by Nanny Jiang and swallowed them with her head tilted back.

Doctor Huang put the pulse pillow into the medicine chest. Seeing Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi enter with hurried breaths, he quickly bowed, “Eldest Young Lady, Fourth Young Lady, please don’t worry. The Eldest Princess is fine! The anger and rage actually caused the Eldest Princess to expel the congested blood from her chest, which is a positive sign. Otherwise, such congested blood would be hard to detect and could damage the heart and lungs over time. Even Bian Que could do nothing then. However… the Eldest Princess’s body truly needs proper care and rest.”

The Eldest Princess put down the water cup, seeing her usually calm and composed eldest granddaughter’s face now pale, her heart softened, and tears streamed down her face. Even though there had been some disagreements between them, the bond of flesh and blood could not be faked. Hearing about her spitting blood, she still rushed over anxiously.

She waved her hand with red eyes to Bai Qingyan, “Kid, come here!”

“I will see Doctor Huang out!” Nanny Jiang quickly smiled and led the way with a curtain for Doctor Huang. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
