Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1304

Chapter 1304: Chapter 1299: A Happy Union

Sima Yan’s wife suggested that he find Xue Renyi and tell him the whole truth, as the Sima family was the one in the wrong against Xue Renyi in the first place.

But the concubine’s daughter and her mother knelt on the ground, crying and wailing, saying that she had already been intimate with Xue Renyi. If she couldn’t marry Xue Renyi, she would end her life with a white silk scarf, which infuriated Sima Yan’s wife. She didn’t want to deal with the matter any longer, worried about gaining a reputation for mistreating and forcing a concubine’s daughter to death, which would affect her three sons in the future.

Sima Yan’s mother lay on the soft couch, crying, saying... that Xue Renyi was a stubborn person. It was Xue Renyi who beat the drum to report the examination fraud case back then. If he found out they caused the death of his fiancée and tried to replace her, she and the concubine’s daughter in the family wouldn’t survive. It would be better to claim the concubine’s daughter as an adopted daughter, telling Xue Renyi it was for Sima Ruodan’s better background that they claimed her as an adopted daughter of the Sima family.

Sima Yan, annoyed by his mother and concubine, let go of the matter out of exasperation, and his mother took charge of arranging the marriage between Xue Renyi and the concubine’s daughter.

It was unexpected that His Majesty also took interest in the matter today, and when he inquired... Sima Yan was forced to respond accordingly.

Originally, Bai Qingqi wanted Sima Ruodan to return to Dadu City with Wei Zhong and Bai Qingyan’s entourage, but Sima Ruodan refused. Firstly, it was convenient to stay by Lu Ninghuan’s side and learn medicine, and secondly... Bai Qingyan guessed Sima Ruodan wanted to stay with A Qi.

Her brother was of the age for marriage, and if a good match could be made, she would be pleased.

Bai Qingyan didn’t want to treat her siblings’ marriages as political pawns. She hoped they would marry for love... purely out of affection.

The morning court session came to an end. After the assembly, Bai Qingyan called Commandant Lu, Minister Shen, Minister Dong, and Lu Jin into the study to discuss the details of the two nations’ merger plan.

After all, once the Yan Kingdom envoy arrives, there will certainly be many details to finalize, such as... setting the agreement term in years and determining which country’s policies are superior. Detailed regulations will be needed.

Bai Qingyan wanted to ensure that the key ministers of Zhou were already knowledgeable and had a rough plan before the Yan Kingdom envoy arrived. The remaining matters could then be mutually negotiated and coordinated between the two countries.

"Recently, if Minister Lu has free time at home, invite Minister of Revenue Wei Bugong to plan carefully..." Bai Qingyan said with a smile.

"Does His Majesty mean that Wei Bugong is usable?" Lu Jin asked.

Lu Jin originally wanted to suggest to Bai Qingyan that Minister of Revenue Wei Bugong should be involved in the planning beforehand to prevent being unprepared when the Yan Kingdom envoy arrived. He was surprised that Bai Qingyan herself brought up Wei Bugong.

"Wei Bugong is capable and decisive, but he’s too straightforward. Many see him in a negative light!" Bai Qingyan received the hot tea offered by Chun Tao, pressed the tea leaves with the lid, and said, "Provide him with appropriate guidance. I’m counting on him... to manage the Ministry of Revenue well for me. With him, I’m at ease! We can’t afford to be tripped up, and then we’ll be helpless. After all, our Zhou is now governed according to laws and regulations!"

Lu Jin bowed towards Bai Qingyan and said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty; I will constantly remind Master Wei!"

As soon as Lu Jin finished speaking, Wei Zhong came in with small steps and whispered in Bai Qingyan’s ear, "Your Majesty, Bai Clan Leader Bai Qihe requests an audience outside."
