Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 663

Chapter 663: Chapter 660: Dead End_1

Bai Qingyan had already discussed the matter of sending Bai Jinzhi to Anping Camp with Bai Jinxiu.

Bai Jinxiu still had some objections. After all, Bai Jinzhi was young, an innocent and pure little girl, not as calm as Little Seven. She was reckless and might cause trouble if not kept close. She thought Bai Jinzhi needed a few more years of experience.

When this matter was mentioned, Bai Jinzhi raised her hand to touch her nose, fearing the reprimand from her eldest and second sister, her voice lacked confidence: "I almost messed it up; it was our aunt who cleaned up the mess! I had planned everything, but the person pretending to be a wealthy merchant didn’t play the part well and got exposed! But I really don’t like these convoluted schemes. Eldest sister, just give me orders and I’ll carry them out. I can’t handle brainwork..."

Bai Jinxiu turned her head to look at Bai Qingyan, the meaning was obvious... Bai Jinzhi was not suitable to be sent to Anping Camp.

Bai Qingyan’s gaze fell on Bai Jinzhi, and she said with a smile, "Little Four, this is... like poor navigation making one dread the turns of the river!"

Bai Jinzhi opened her eyes wide and looked at Bai Qingyan: "Oh! Aunt said the same thing when she scolded me!"

It was clear that Bai Jinzhi really angered her mother.

Bai Jinxiu covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.

"Little Four, I plan to send you to Anping Camp. But if you really dislike these convoluted schemes, how can I trust that... you will grasp control of Anping Camp and not be overwhelmed by others?" Bai Qingyan asked Bai Jinzhi.

Bai Jinzhi suddenly stood up, her face flashing with surprise, followed by some excitement, her ears turning red: "Eldest sister... are you really letting me go to Anping Camp to lead troops?!"

"But you dislike those convoluted things and are straightforward and easily angered. If I let you go... the small matter of not being able to control Anping Camp is one thing, but I fear you might cause bigger trouble." Bai Qingyan leaned on the ginger-colored pillow embroidered with magpies, her tone slow and unhurried.

Bai Jinzhi became anxious: "No, eldest sister, I don’t like it, but I can learn! As long as I can lead troops, I am willing to do anything."

Bai Qingyan nodded, her gentle eyebrows showing a smile: "Since that’s the case, I will leave the investigation of the sand found in the Northern Frontier military provisions to you. We will set off to return to Shuoyang on October 25. You have five days, and members of the Bai Mansion are at your disposal. If you run out of money, come to me for more. I want results in five days. If successful... you will depart for Anping Camp in November; if not... obediently follow me back to Shuoyang and study a few more years."

"Eldest sister..." Bai Jinxiu was worried.

But Bai Qingyan raised her hand to signal Bai Jinxiu to be at ease: "Let her try!"

No one can do their best at their first attempt. Bai Jinzhi might have had shortcomings in handling the matter with Bai Qiyun, but who doesn’t grow slowly?

Chun Tao received a signal from her young lady and brought a gilded phoenix tsubaki wood box from Bai Qingyan’s yellow rosewood dressing table and respectfully handed it to Bai Jinzhi: "Fourth young lady, this is the only bit of private savings our young lady has. She is giving it all to you today! Don’t disappoint her."

Bai Jinzhi’s palms were sweating nervously. She wiped her palms on her skirt before reaching out to take the heavy tsubaki wood box.

She thought it was money, but when she opened it...
