Chapter 672: Chapter 669: Joining the Army Foolishly_1

"Are you laughing at your fourth sister for being a fool? Be careful, or I’ll report you to the eldest young lady, and you’ll be forbidden from eating snacks for ten days!" Bai Jinzhi pretended to be angry, reaching out to tickle Bai Jinse’s soft spots.

Bai Jinse was afraid of being tickled. She dodged around the stone table in the pavilion while laughing and pleading, "Please, forgive your younger sister, Fourth Sister. Ah! Fourth Sister! Hahaha... I’ll make it up to you!"

The girls’ laughter, clear and pleasant like wind chimes, brightened the mood of those who heard it. The Bai Mansion had not heard such joyous laughter for a long time.

They both ended up with a fine sweat from playing. The maid and servants brought over fruits, snacks, and hot tea, then quietly retreated outside the pavilion.

Bai Jinse handed a handkerchief to Bai Jinzhi to wipe her sweat. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Wei Zhong following the maids from Qinghui Courtyard and smiled as she signaled Bai Jinzhi to look towards the rockery. "Fourth Sister, look, that’s Wei Zhong, being led by the little maid from the Qinghui Courtyard. He’s likely heading there!"

Bai Jinzhi glanced towards the rockery and nodded. "Probably."

"Fourth Sister, our eldest young lady always employs people based on their strengths. For instance, this Wei Zhong, whom the eldest young lady has used several times to investigate matters, and his investigations were always thorough and excellent. Yet, other than investigating, the eldest young lady never tasked him with anything else!"

"And Uncle Ping, who has been loyal to our family for years, is entrusted by the eldest young lady with matters concerning the Bai family’s survival!"

Bai Jinzhi attentively listened to her younger sister speak.

"Then there’s Steward Liu. He’s been managing our family’s business matters for years. So when it involves household business, the eldest young lady has Steward Liu handle it!" Bai Jinse poured tea for Bai Jinzhi and served her a cup. "If the eldest young lady did everything herself, even if she had three heads and six arms, she couldn’t manage it all!"

Bai Jinse put down the teapot and pushed the teacup towards Bai Jinzhi, saying, "So, Fourth Sister, instead of worrying about what you should do, think about how to use the people around you to achieve your goals."

Bai Jinzhi looked at her young sister, suddenly feeling that she had grown up, appearing steadier than the younger members of their family.

Bai Jinse, a concubine-born daughter of the main family, had become more composed since Bai Qingyan’s injury, having spent much time by her side. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

"Did you come up with all of this yourself?" Bai Jinse felt a sudden pang of shame, realizing she was not as insightful as her younger sister.

Bai Jinse shook her head. "I overheard our eldest young lady talking to our elder brother when I was young. I didn’t understand much then, but now I do."

Bai Jinse referred to their elder brother, Bai Qingluo, Bai Jinzhi’s full-brother.

Thinking of her brother brought tears to Bai Jinzhi’s eyes. As she bowed her head in sorrow, she suddenly looked up as if something had dawned on her. "Right! How did I not think of that?"
