Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1419

Chapter 1419: Chapter 1414: Entanglement

"Yes!" Wei Zhong responded.

Upon seeing Bai Qingyan, Mrs. Liu, the second lady of the Bai family, briskly walked up to her: "Kid..."

"Second Aunt!" Bai Qingyan stood in the morning glow, her features seemingly imbued with warmth, "I heard Second Aunt came early, sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Kid..." Mrs. Liu’s eyes were red, the Kid before her was different from the imposing emperor in the hall earlier, like she was still their family’s eldest girl. Grasping Bai Qingyan’s hand, she asked softly, "Kid, do you know... about the jade cicada from Tianfeng Kingdom that can reverse time?"

Mrs. Liu dared to speak directly only because Bai Qingyan was surrounded by her own people.

Bai Qingyan was slightly stunned.

"You detained that Great Shaman from Tianfeng Kingdom in our Zhou, was it to investigate this matter of time reversal? Do you also think that if time could reverse, you could go back to save your grandfather, uncle, and brothers? Right?" Mrs. Liu was now one hundred percent sure, and if indeed time reversal was possible, and only the person reversing had memory, then... Bai Qingyan would undoubtedly be the best candidate for time reversal.

Considering Bai Qingyan’s personality of keeping silent and bearing burdens alone, if she had discovered anything, she would certainly not tell the Bai family unless she was completely certain.

"Second Aunt knows you wouldn’t tell the family without certainty, but I... just can’t stand the wait. My people can’t investigate as thoroughly as you can, so I came to ask you." Mrs. Liu tightly held Bai Qingyan’s hand, "Have you found the whereabouts of the other jade cicada? Is sending Liu Rushi to Dongyi Kingdom for the jade cicada in Sal Khan’s hands?"

Mrs. Liu believed this matter completely, after all... if the jade cicada couldn’t reverse time, why would the Tianfeng Kingdom’s Monarch go to such lengths to search for it?

Seeing Bai Qingyan silent, Mrs. Liu became anxious: "Could it be you’re not planning this? If time reversal is true... we could save the sons of our Bai family! Xiao Rongyan’s former jade cicada must be in our Zhou, we just need to search carefully! But the crucial one is the jade cicada in Sal Khan’s hands!"

Bai Qingyan lowered her gaze and gently stroked her Second Aunt’s hand, then looked up with a smile, linking her arm with Mrs. Liu’s as they walked forward: "Second Aunt, do you say... if the rumor of time reversal in Tianfeng Kingdom is true, even if I handed over Zhou to him, would he give the jade cicada to me? If time reversal was true... handing Zhou to him wouldn’t matter because I could reverse time and reclaim it, the Tianfeng Kingdom Monarch isn’t foolish..."

Mrs. Liu thought for a moment, agreeing with the logic. If time reversal was true, Liu Rushi certainly wouldn’t bring back the jade cicada, and if time reversal was false, perhaps the Monarch, faced with pressure, would give the jade cicada to Zhou. But if false... what’s the point of having it?

"But... if it’s not true, why would Tianfeng Kingdom offer high rewards to find the jade cicada Xiao Rongyan once wore?" Mrs. Liu frowned deeply.

"Second Aunt, this wasn’t spread by Tianfeng Kingdom!" Bai Qingyan held Mrs. Liu’s hand, "Tianfeng Kingdom simply wants the national treasure to return to them, so they offer a reward seeking the jade cicada, but it was us, Zhou, who spread the word to trouble Tianfeng Kingdom. Now the Monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom is in Dongyi Kingdom. You see... if Dongyi Kingdom’s Monarch finds out that this jade cicada has time reversal abilities, wouldn’t he be tempted and covet the jade cicada in Tianfeng Kingdom Monarch’s hands? With this... can Tianfeng Kingdom and Dongyi Kingdom ally smoothly?"

Mrs. Liu’s mind cleared even further: "So, this involves so much!"

"The rivalry between countries is a multifaceted contest. If Second Aunt ever has doubts later, come ask Kid... Kid will definitely clear things up for Second Aunt!" Bai Qingyan smiled while speaking to Mrs. Liu.

"How could I do that!" Mrs. Liu shook her head, "You are now supporting a huge nation, already working very hard! Second Aunt is useless and can’t help. Coming today just added chaos and wasted your time! Rest assured Kid... Second Aunt will trust you no matter what! Because... you must be the one in our family who most hopes to use time reversal to save our Bai family!"

Listening to Mrs. Liu’s heartwarming words, Bai Qingyan’s eyes reddened with emotion, she nodded with a smile.

"Okay! Enough... Second Aunt won’t delay you any longer here! Go get busy!" Mrs. Liu said to Bai Qingyan with a smile uglier than crying.
