Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529: Chapter 526: Shuoyang_1

"Grandmother..." Kid raised her hand lightly holding her grandmother’s hand, "Grandmother is healthy and will surely see Changlan and Chang Yuan marry and have children. My aunt has a good temperament, but she is too gentle. When it comes to raising children... only Grandmother can handle it."

Madam Dong chuckled and patted Kid’s hand, then gently held Kid’s calloused hand in her palm, her eyes turning red. "I’m not worried about Changlan and Chang Yuan. I’m just concerned about you..."

There was a hint of choking in Madam Dong’s voice.

Since ancient times, it had been difficult for women, especially for her granddaughter, to have children. Who knows what will happen with her marriage in the future!

If she never marries in this life, can she rely on the Bai Clan?

Hmph... It’s not that Madam Dong looked down on the Bai Clan. These people just bowed their heads now because her granddaughter was powerful. If her granddaughter hadn’t stood up when the Bai family was in trouble, who knows how the Bai family’s widows and orphans would have been bullied.

It would be better to rely on the Dong family than on the Bai Clan!

"Kid, Grandmother has selfish motives too. Grandmother... just wants to keep you by my side to protect you from being bullied. Do you really... not care for Chang Yuan?" Madam Dong’s eyes were extremely red.

Logically, Madam Dong shouldn’t have said these words to Kid, an unmarried girl. But her granddaughter was resilient and strong-willed. If Kid didn’t relent, even her daughter would be helpless.

"Grandmother, it’s not that I don’t care for Cousin Chang Yuan!" Kid shook her head. "What I seek is not confined to the inner courtyard. Grandfather, father, uncles, and brothers are all gone. But the aspirations of generations of the Bai family must be continued by someone."

From the moment Kid refused to marry Dong Changyuan, forced the Emperor to change the Bai family’s fate with popular sentiment, and won a great victory in the South, bringing the Bai family women back to Shuoyang, Madam Dong knew... Kid had great ambitions and was not a woman confined to the inner chamber.

But this path was too difficult. Society was already unfair to women, and trying to achieve something would be even harder for her.

As elders, they worked hard all their lives just to pave a smoother path for their descendants, making their future journeys more stable. Yet her granddaughter chose the most difficult path.

Madam Dong dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief. "Enough! Grandmother was just speaking casually."

"Grandmother, I want to take you to Shuoyang this time. This year, the attacks from the Rong may be the most severe. Going with me to Dengzhou would allow you a few days of peace." Kid gently persuaded Madam Dong.

Madam Dong was stunned, turned her head to look at Kid with a serious expression. "You thought the same as your uncle."
