Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1577

Chapter 1577: Chapter 1572: Fortunate and Blessed

She leaned against Xiao Rongyan’s chest: "Jintong, she’s following the path you took back then..."

Xiao Rongyan never imagined that Cui Fengnian would be the third young lady of the Bai family, because he had seen her in Dadu City before. It was unexpected that in such a short time, she had traveled through the Dongyi Kingdom, discovered the Tianfeng Kingdom, even went to Xiliang, joining forces with major families for profit, stirring up turmoil, and later... arrived in the Yan Kingdom.

Furthermore, Murong Ping mentioned that he had met this wealthy businessman Cui Fengnian and even wanted to cooperate with him. He also detained this businessman until the gambling event’s end before allowing him to leave the capital of Yan. Therefore, Xiao Rongyan had people monitor Cui Fengnian but did not investigate him deeply.

"So, even before the Bai family completely emerged from their predicament, you had already started planning for today." Xiao Rongyan gently caressed Bai Qingyan’s arm, "Far-sighted... If you could unite this world, it would be a good thing!"

Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes, intertwining her fingers with his: "We will unify it. The Zhou is implementing the new laws that Empress Ji left unimplemented in the Yan Kingdom. If Empress Ji’s spirit is watching from the heavens, seeing a prosperous era where people live in abundance and peace, she would certainly be pleased."

Xiao Rongyan nodded slightly, placed a kiss on Bai Qingyan’s hair, and said: "I just heard some Zhou soldiers say that the loyal King will arrive early tomorrow, so I suspect you want to surprise and take revenge on Xiping County as soon as the loyal King arrives with his troops. Your leg is injured, let me go for you."

Seeing Bai Qingyan was about to protest, he said: "I’m afraid my poor reputation has already spread throughout the Yan Kingdom. I don’t mind having more people curse me, but as for your leg... if you don’t rest, I’m afraid it will only worsen. If anything indeed goes wrong... I would have no way of facing your mother."

Bai Qingyan is his wife. If he cannot even protect Bai Qingyan, how could he face Mrs. Dong, and what kind of husband would he be?

"Ah Yan, I know you stand by my side not just because Yan Kingdom hurt you deeply, but more because, in your heart, I outweigh the Yan Kingdom." Bai Qingyan lifted her head, her black and white clear eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight from the glass lantern on the table, "You know I will inevitably go to Xiping County, and you can’t stop me, yet you fear my injuries will worsen in this battle, so... you want to go for me!"

Xiao Rongyan looked down at the woman in his arms, feeling a lump in his throat, and softly acknowledged.

"But Ah Yan, while you worry about me, I worry about you as well! The Yan Kingdom... is your country, your home." Bai Qingyan’s voice was clear and gentle, "In all relationships, whether as spouses, relatives, or friends, genuine care is mutual and comes from the heart."

To Bai Qingyan, Xiao Rongyan is not only a lover but also a family member, and a close confidant.

The Yan Kingdom can be taken by Bai Qingyan, but not for Xiao Rongyan to fight the first battle for Zhou.

To wield a sword against his own country, how will Xiao Rongyan face Ah Li, how will he face himself in the future?

She does not want Xiao Rongyan, in the future, to think of the Yan Kingdom and only see scenes of himself wielding a sword against it. He is human too... and can feel pain.

Xiao Rongyan had killed King of Xiping’s two sons and the Crown Princess Consort for her. When those people from the King of Xiping’s residence return, who knows how they will explain, and what kind of comment history will leave for Xiao Rongyan.

Xiao Rongyan understood Bai Qingyan’s words. His gaze, meeting hers, shifted to her temples as he lifted a hand to tuck the loose strands of hair behind her ear, tightening his embrace around her shoulder.

Genuine care is mutual and comes from the heart...

But he regards his sister-in-law as the most respected person after his elder brother’s death, why can’t he gain a bit of... care, as if treating him as a younger brother?

"Besides, with Ah Jue here, I will only be using the status of the Emperor of Zhou to boost morale!" Bai Qingyan said, noticing Xiao Rongyan lost in thought, she paused before continuing softly, "Ah Yan..."
