Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1476

Chapter 1476: Chapter 1471: The Fruits of Victory

After reading the secret report, Bai Jintong silently set the report on fire with a candle, sitting on the soft couch by the window, watching the flames consume the secret letter, and lightly sighed...

Her brother-in-law was indeed very difficult to deal with.

Since Xiao Rongyan returned to the Yan kingdom and learned that during his time in the Zhou empire, the Young Emperor Murong Li and the Second Prince Murong Ping planned to use the paper business to harvest the wealth of Zhou, Xiao Rongyan almost unveiled Bai Jintong’s disguise, luckily Bai Jintong knew Xiao Rongyan’s identity and managed to avoid him beforehand.

But because of Xiao Rongyan’s return, Bai Jintong found it increasingly difficult to operate in the Yan Kingdom, becoming more inconvenient, and now even being secretly monitored by Xiao Rongyan’s men. If it weren’t for her Eldest Young Lady sending people to assist her, she wouldn’t have been able to accomplish many things right now.

After returning, Xiao Rongyan ultimately concluded that although businessmen pursue profit, using Cui Fengnian was too risky. Not only was Cui Fengnian a native of the Zhou empire, but if it weren’t for his alliance with the eight families back in Xiliang, Xiliang might not have ended up the way it did. If Bai Jintong hadn’t arranged things in advance, she probably wouldn’t have been able to stay in the Yan capital.

It can be said that Xiao Rongyan, who was once a businessman, was extremely cautious of Cui Fengnian, who was also a businessman. Even when he saw Bai Jintong earnestly doing business, he never relaxed his surveillance on her.

Even when Bai Jintong planned to go to the Dongyi Kingdom and was packing, Xiao Rongyan dispatched the steward of the Regent Prince’s residence, using both soft and hard approaches, forbidding Bai Jintong from leaving the Yan kingdom. He even said that to avoid unexpected incidents, she must wait until after the contest between the Zhou empire and the Yan kingdom ended, which was three years later, before she could leave their sight in the Yan kingdom.

Naturally, if Bai Jintong remained honest in doing business, the Yan kingdom would absolutely not interfere.

After reading the secret letter, Bai Jintong understood... The Yan kingdom was originally making mischief from the shadows, colluding with the Dongyi Kingdom, intending to cause trouble behind Zhou’s back. Unexpectedly, her Eldest Young Lady issued a Zhou national bond and decided to destroy the Dongyi Kingdom, the Yan kingdom panicked...

The Yan kingdom worried that the Zhou would destroy Dongyi and establish a puppet emperor, using the same strategy against them, causing the Dongyi Kingdom to trouble the Yan kingdom. So, the Yan kingdom planned to put on a show of exerting some effort and then share in the victory of Zhou’s destruction of Dongyi.

Bai Jintong chuckled softly, her brother-in-law truly deserves his reputation as a businessman, very astute!

Now Bai Jintong could take the risk of sending the information out, but this might expose the personnel she currently could use.

After much consideration, Bai Jintong decided not to take the risk this time, avoiding exposing the usable people outside, and reserve them for more critical times!

After all, given Bai Jintong’s understanding of her Eldest Young Lady, even if she doesn’t send someone to deliver the message to her, with her just knowing that Yan kingdom’s Regent Prince is leading troops to the Dongyi Kingdom, she should figure out Xiao Rongyan’s plans; her Eldest Young Lady should understand Xiao Rongyan better than she does.

What she needs to plan now is what she should do when Xiao Rongyan leaves, to assist Zhou in curbing the Yan kingdom.

The battle of Changdao, unsurprisingly, resulted in the majority of the Dongyi Kingdom’s navy forces being decimated within the Zhou empire’s navy encirclement. Upon hearing the news, the Dongyi Kingdom’s Emperor was shocked, unable to believe that Zhou dared to engage Dongyi.

The Dongyi Kingdom’s royal court had already become chaotic. According to the returning soldiers, the Zhou Emperor had reached Jinguan City, intending to eradicate Dongyi this time.
