Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1394

Chapter 1394: Chapter 1389: Trouble

"Ah Jue and A Yun... must be very tired by now. Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu should stay and accompany Fourth Aunt, and play with the children." Bai Qingyan’s words had just fallen when she saw Bai Jinzhi dozing off, and she laughed, saying, "It seems we’ll have to trouble A Qi and A Yu to accompany me."

"Earlier, Wei Zhong came to say that the Sima family has already gone to invite Sima Ruodan back to the Sima family." Bai Qingyan changed the topic, turning to look at Bai Qingqi, "If you want to see them, you need not follow me to the military camp."

"What does Sima Ruodan returning to the Sima family have to do with me? Eldest Young Lady, your words are peculiar..." Bai Qingqi picked up the tea cup by his side, lowered his eyes, remaining calm.

Bai Qingyan smiled and nodded, deliberately saying, "What a pity that we let Xue Renyi leave early this time. He should have met Sima Ruodan, since the two are engaged, perhaps we could even arrange a wedding. A Commandery Princess marrying a Top Scholar... would be quite the story."

Bai Qingqi maintained his calm demeanor, not responding to Bai Qingyan, simply finishing the water in the teacup.

"Recently, Mother and the aunts held a flower appreciation banquet to find brides for you. It seems they already have their favorites, so it won’t be long before they tell you." Bai Qingyan turned to signal Chun Tao to pour more tea for Bai Qingqi, "If you have no interest in Sima Ruodan, you can choose carefully."

"Eldest Young Lady, I don’t want to talk about this now..." Bai Qingqi’s voice was heavy, "The southern border needs someone to guard it. I plan to return and accompany Mother for a while, then go back to the southern border."

His grandfather, father, and uncles were all buried there. He must take their place, guard the people... guard the Eldest Young Lady there.

Moreover, in the southern border, he’s on defense against the Tianfeng Kingdom watching like a tiger, not knowing when he might die, why implicate a good family’s daughter? Why let a girl suffer like his mother, experiencing the pain of losing a husband?

An ancient saying goes, wise men... do not fall in love.

Bai Qingqi chose solitude, not to implicate others, alone in the world.

Bai Qingyan did not immediately refute Bai Qingqi, but smiled as she pushed the teacup to Bai Qingqi: "There’s no rush for this matter, it can be arranged slowly later..."

Military camp.

"What did you say?" Wei Zhaonian stared wide-eyed at the messenger—a small lieutenant with grass all over his head, looking disheveled—supporting himself on the table.

"General Cheng, General Shen Liangyu, General Liu Pinggao, along with General Lu, General Sima, General Du Sanbao, General Wang Jin, and other twelve generals have returned to Dadu City, saying they want to petition the Emperor for a death battle with the Yan Kingdom and ask the Emperor to revoke the command given to King of Hancheng to manage the navy!"

Wei Zhaonian felt his right eye under the eye patch twitch. When returning to Dadu City, Cheng Yuanzhi, Shen Liangyu, and Liu Pinggao learned that Bai Qingyan wanted to gamble the kingdom against Yan, which was met with a million disagreements. To prevent them from embarrassing Bai Qingyan in front of civil and military officials and the people when the army arrived at Dadu City today, Wei Zhaonian forcibly suppressed Cheng Yuanzhi and Shen Liangyu together with Liu Pinggao from the Anping Army, not allowing them to appear.

Unexpectedly, after returning to camp, these people still impulsively caused trouble.

"How long have they been gone?" Wei Zhaonian asked.
