Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1408

Chapter 1408: Chapter 1403: Heterodox

Thinking about the desolate expression of Second Aunt due to the absence of a son from the second branch returning, Bai Qingyan couldn’t help but say, "It’s just that... both of you can first return to the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage’s residence, you must leave Wang Geer by Second Aunt’s side! Not only will it alleviate her loneliness, but it will also share some of your burdens, allowing both of you to focus on matters of the court. Don’t blame your eldest sister for being unkind! It’s you who said that the family should work together with one heart."

Second Aunt was already upset because only the sons from the first, third, fourth, and fifth branches returned. Bai Qingyan feared that taking Wang Geer away from the Bai Mansion would leave Second Aunt feeling even more unsettled.

Now, at least having Wang Geer by Second Aunt’s side, she could have her attention diverted a bit.

Bai Jinxiu looked at the pile of memorials on her eldest sister’s desk and couldn’t help but remind her, "Eldest Sister, don’t stay up too late reviewing memorials. Otherwise, I will have to tell Aunt, and let her come back from the Bai Mansion to scold you."

Qin Lang kneeled beside them, watching the two sisters, Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu, never having thought... that sibling relationships could be so good, compared to his own family...

Thinking of the younger brother he painstakingly taught and brought up, who was full of resentment towards him, now he reflects... the Bai family’s century-long glory in Dadu City, even after overcoming great difficulties, with the eldest daughter ascending the emperor’s throne, all have their reasons.

Bai Jinxiu and Qin Lang retreated from the main hall, with Bai Jinxiu recalling Qin Lang’s younger brother, whispering, "I heard from Taisheng that your brother still doesn’t obey your authority, feeling you drove his mother away?"

Qin Lang nodded, his smile somewhat awkward, "On the way back, he ran away twice... both times trying to find his mother. Old acquaintances suddenly changed like a child."

Especially after learning that his sister was sentenced to exile, he hated Qin Lang all the more, and he hated Bai Jinxiu too, believing Bai Jinxiu didn’t intercede for his sister, and proclaimed that Bai Jinxiu wasn’t a good sister-in-law.

Later, learning the fate of the two Qin family girls... one becoming a concubine in a family without a single title in the Bai Clan, the other exiled, Qin Lang’s younger brother thought it was Bai Jinxiu’s revenge for the attempted harm by his two sisters years ago, deliberately disgracing them.

But he never considered that his two sisters were guilty in public; if not for Qin Lang being Bai Jinxiu’s husband, the entire family would have been implicated!

Without mentioning anything else, just the matter of collaborating with the assassin to discredit the Bai family widow for not remarrying is enough. Later... that assassin attempted to assassinate Bai Qingyan. If it were any other monarch, they would have been sentenced to death for the whole family long ago!

Could his life be spared? Could his mother’s life be spared? Their lives, mother and son, were both thanks to Bai Jinxiu and Qin Lang.

"Is husband soft-hearted, allowing him to correspond with the mother and two girls?" Bai Jinxiu laughed while walking down the steps beside Qin Lang.

Qin Lang lowered his eyes and nodded, "After all, they are mother and son, and I don’t want to be too ruthless."

"If husband trusts me, leave this matter to me, and don’t intervene, just pretend you don’t know." Bai Jinxiu maintained her gentle smile, even in military attire, appearing quite virtuous, without a hint of hostility.

"Wouldn’t it trouble my wife?" Qin Lang felt a bit guilty, as his family’s scandals had already troubled Bai Jinxiu a lot.
