Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1603

Chapter 1603: Chapter 4: The Grand Finale (Part 2)

The morning sun’s golden rays spilled over the poised young woman, as stunningly transcendent as Kang Na had once seen in Shuoyang. Her beauty was otherworldly, yet she never allowed the slightest hint of disrespect. It was as if she was the purest, most exalted presence on earth, and any hardship seemed trivial before her. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She had never encountered anyone with such a majestic and awe-inspiring aura, one that forbids even a direct gaze.

Though she dared not admit it and knew her place was humble, Kang Na genuinely admired this Emperor from the bottom of her heart and held great respect for this woman.

"Kang Na..." a sister called out to Kang Na from behind.

Kang Na snapped back to reality, settled on the embroidery stool, her hands as delicate as porcelain resting lightly on the strings of the instrument, letting out a long breath...

Suddenly, thunderous and powerful music, reminiscent of a clap of thunder, started to play atop Que Tower.

Bai Qingyan looked up towards Que Tower and saw a veiled woman playing the pipa in the morning glow.

Kang Na felt Bai Qingyan’s gaze and dared to look back. Seeing Bai Qingyan’s deep, bright eyes, filled with the warmth of morning sunlight, Kang Na blushed and played even more fervently.

"I’ve heard this is Kang Na, the one who composed ’General Bai’s Expedition Song’. Her new piece ’Peaceful and Just World’ is said to celebrate the Eldest Young Lady’s unification of the realm!" Bai Jinxiu whispered to Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan nodded, unable to deny... despite Kang Na’s humble origins, she truly had talent.

"Let her perform in the palace on the eighth," Bai Qingyan said.

She wanted to hear the piece in its entirety, but her mother, aunt, and seventh brother were waiting for her at the palace gates, she dared not delay.

"Alright..." Bai Jinxiu answered with a smile.

"Mother! Mother!"

Bai Jinxiu suddenly heard a young child’s voice and looked up... from above the restaurant, only to see Qin Lang holding Wang Geer, staring at her.

Bai Jinxiu was surprised, but seeing Wang Geer, her eyes misted. As a mother, she owed Wang Geer so much.

Bai Qingyan also followed Bai Jinxiu’s gaze towards Wang Geer, giving him a warm smile...

"Aunt!" Wang Geer called out to Bai Qingyan eagerly. Growing up in the Imperial Palace, he often visited Bai Qingyan with Xiao Ba and was very close to her.

Qin Lang handed Wang Geer to the nurse and respectfully bowed to Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan acknowledged him, and out of the corner of her eye, noticed a general on horseback in the back who seemed to have encountered his family, glancing over...

She saw Liu Pinggao breaking from the ranks, bending down from horseback to speak with a woman in the crowd. The woman, with her hair styled as a married woman, knelt and looked up at Liu Pinggao with a bright and radiant smile.

Bai Qingyan raised a brow, retracting her gaze, Hongqiao?

Once a loyal maid beside King Liang, she caused trouble in front of the Bai Mansion, and later... after King Liang died, Bai Qingyan thought these people were gone too. How did she end up with Liu Pinggao?

"A Yu..." Bai Qingyan called softly, turning sideways.

Bai Qingyu reined closer to Bai Qingyan, "Sister..."

"Did you attend Liu Pinggao’s wedding with the Anping Army?" she asked.

Bai Qingyu glanced back, now seeing Liu Pinggao had returned to the ranks, "No, I did not."

"Investigate Liu Pinggao’s new wife. Liu Pinggao may have married a maid who was unwaveringly loyal to King Liang during the Jin Dynasty," Bai Qingyan instructed.

"Rest assured, sister. I’ll have someone look into it immediately!" Bai Qingyu pulled the reins, slowing down, and instructed Yang Dong, "Once you find out that Liu Pinggao’s bride was one of King Liang’s, there’s no need for arrest. Inform Liu Pinggao and let him decide how to handle it."

"Yes!" Yang Dong answered.
