Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1392

Chapter 1392: Chapter 1387: Returning Kindness

The high trees and hanging willows waved green leaves, falling upon Bai Qingyu’s shoulder.

She reached out to brush them off for Bai Qingyu, looking at her younger brother with a smile: "You’ve just returned, don’t worry about other matters for now, spend some good time with Mother! The affairs at court are intricate... Now that you’ve all returned, you can also help ease Eldest Sister’s burdens."

Watching his elder sister’s radiant smile, Bai Qingyu felt a pang of heartache: "Eldest Sister must be exhausted having supported everyone for so long, right?"

"Now that you have all returned, I am not tired at all." Bai Qingyan’s gaze fell on the half of Bai Qingyu’s face covered with burn scars, "It makes me happier than anything else that you are all home safe!"

"Eldest Young Lady! Fifth Brother!" Bai Jinzhi leaned against the railing on the second floor of Shaohua Court, joyfully waving at Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingyu, "Come quickly! My mother and Aunt Four and Aunt Five have personally cooked lots of delicious food!"

As Bai Jinzhi called out, Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua also crowded at the railing with Bai Jinzhi, urging Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingyu to hurry up.

The double-eaves curved gracefully, red lacquer and jade green tiles shimmered, amidst the layers of verdant greenery, the noonday sun pierced through the green branches and entwined leaves, casting mottled golden light upon the railing and jade green tiles and the joyful faces of Bai Jinzhi, Bai Jinzhao, and Bai Jinhua; the scene was warm and heartwarming.

Listening to the tinkling of the copper bell attached to the gold-plated copper hook under the corridor, and the chirping of summer insects, hearing the laughter and chatter of aunts and siblings from inside the window lattice, Bai Qingyan almost felt as if she had returned to the times when grandfather and father were still around.

Bai Qingyu looked up at his three sisters’ pure smiling faces, his brows and eyes also touched with a smile, saying to Bai Qingyan, "Eldest Sister, let’s go up..."

Bai Qingyan nodded, and as she just entered the main hall with Bai Qingyu, she reminded her brother: "Your capture after deception in Xiliang, Mother has mentioned multiple times before you came back that she wants to teach you a lesson! Today Mother hasn’t come to her senses, but once she does... you better watch out!"

Hearing Bai Qingyan say this, Bai Qingyu’s back suddenly tensed. He hadn’t forgotten... he had gone with the flow and ended up causing Eldest Sister to deliver prematurely; even now Bai Qingyu felt guilty. Yet, when Eldest Sister later wrote that the two children were well, Bai Qingyu was somewhat relieved, but still wondered how to get through this hurdle with Mother.

Just as Eldest Sister said, he had just returned, Mother couldn’t be upset with him yet, but once Mother collected her thoughts, he feared he’d be getting some hand slaps; Mother never held back when disciplining them.

"Eldest Sister..." Bai Qingyu reached out and tugged at his elder sister’s sleeve, seeking her help.

"Hmm?" Bai Qingyan turned with a smile, seeing Bai Qingyu’s pleading expression, she withdrew her sleeve and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll ensure Mother stays at the Bai Mansion for a few more days and help her cure your reckless tendencies."

Watching his elder sister head upstairs, Bai Qingyu hurried after her: "Eldest Sister, it was just a ruse! In your place... you would have done the same. Eldest Sister, you must plead my case to Mother! Back when you angered Mother on the battlefield, it was I who pleaded on your behalf; Eldest Sister... you can’t do this to your own brother!"

Standing on the wooden stairs, Bai Qingyan turned back, saw her brother’s anxious expression, and couldn’t help but recall the sight of him as a child, reaching out to pat Bai Qingyu’s head...

"A Yu, both of our recklessness have hurt Mother’s heart. Be sure to admit your wrongs to her. Father is no longer here... It’s up to the two of us to look after Mother, not letting her be saddened anymore!"

Bai Qingyu moved Eldest Sister’s hand from his head, clenching his hands tight: "I understand, Eldest Sister!"

"Eldest Young Lady, Fifth Brother..." Bai Jinzhi hurriedly ran down from the stairs, "Why haven’t you guys come up yet, we’ve been waiting anxiously!"
