Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1341

Chapter 1341: Chapter 1336: Public Interest First

"Exactly! It’s about family background!" Mrs. Li furrowed her brows, "Kid, what Aunt wants to talk about is family background. Now that you are leading our Bai family to do great things, and those things are not yet done... If Little Four truly has feelings for Lu Yuanpeng, as her mother, I naturally wish Little Four’s desires fulfilled, not wanting her to suffer any grievances. But as a member of the Bai family... Third Aunt cannot allow Little Four’s marriage to hold back you and the Bai family. Do you understand? You have ascended to the throne as a woman, and if Little Four marries into Commandant Lu’s family, we cannot guarantee there won’t be someone in the Lu family with ulterior motives using Little Four! Kid... Third Aunt knows you care for your sisters, but now you are the Emperor of Zhou, and you must prioritize... the public interest!"

Mrs. Li’s eyes showed a mix of urgency and doubt. She temporarily did not want to consider Lu Yuanpeng’s character and family background. Since marrying into the Bai family, she had heard numerous times about the Bai family’s aspirations and ambitions, and countless times heard her husband speak of his inner aspirations...

Now, the Zhou is united, and seemingly on the brink of achieving the peaceful kingdom her husband once spoke of. Mrs. Li does not want her daughter’s romantic whims to bring trouble to this matter, but as a mother... she also cannot bear to watch her daughter miss out on happiness.

Her Third Aunt’s heartfelt words were well understood by Bai Qingyan. Thinking of the steadfast support of her relatives around her, and then thinking of Xiao Rongyan...

Bai Qingyan’s eyes grew moist as she grasped Mrs. Li’s hand, "Aunt, there’s no need! I have always trusted those I employ, and neither Commandant Lu nor Lu Jinxian have I ever doubted. Moreover, having reached this position, if I can’t even ensure my sister’s happiness, what kind of emperor am I?"

Listening to Bai Qingyan’s gentle and comforting words, Mrs. Li began to relax, never having doubted Bai Qingyan’s ability to discern people.

Bai Qingyan gently patted Mrs. Li’s hand and said, "I have already thought it through... Whether it’s A Qi, A Yu, Little Four, or Little Five, I only wish for them happiness for the rest of their lives, mutual marital love, and genuine affection. Their marriages will never be political pawns. If Aunties are worried about the girls marrying out, they have their titles and can recruit suitors, and it’s not a difficult matter."

Mrs. Li’s lips slightly parted as she recalled her father-in-law and husband while listening to Bai Qingyan’s words...

At that time, she and her husband were not married yet. Many noble daughters were enamored with her husband. As the eldest daughter who had lost her mother, although her father’s successor wasn’t exactly harsh, he didn’t give much attention either. Even if her father doted on her, he couldn’t always intervene in matters of the household. She feared she couldn’t marry her husband, given her long-standing admiration for Bai family’s third son.

Later, it was rumored outside... that the Eldest Princess intended to set Master Tan’s legitimate daughter with Bai family’s third son, and she herself was to be betrothed to an offshoot of the Qinghe Cui family by her stepmother. Mrs. Li cried as if the world was ending, but who knew the situation would turn unexpectedly? After the Duke of Zhen returned triumphantly, without even removing his armor, he came to pay respects to the Emperor and then visited Mrs. Li’s family, personally discussing with her father about wanting to marry her to his third son.

At that time, Mrs. Li looked at the mighty and tall Duke of Zhen in his silver armor, exuding an aura of solemnity and was deeply afraid.

But the Duke of Zhen smiled and handed Mrs. Li a Jade Pendant, whispered quietly, saying this was a gift from the third son, stating that the Bai family’s descendants seek mutual affection in marriage and refuse to use marriage as a tool for family expansion. If she wished to marry the third son, she should keep the Jade Pendant, and the Duke of Zhen’s residence would handle the rest.

Mrs. Li’s eyes heated, tears burst out as she tightly clutched the Jade Pendant, nodding to Duke of Zhen.
