Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 767

Chapter 767: Chapter 764: Unnecessary_1

"Hmm..." Bai Qingyan’s gaze fell on the silver armor in Mrs. Dong’s hand. She sat down beside Mrs. Dong and lifted her hand to hold Mrs. Dong’s arm. "Mother, don’t worry. I will be very careful on this trip to Daliang! Kid promises, it won’t be long... I will definitely bring A Yu back to your side with honor!"

Hearing A Yu’s name, Mrs. Dong couldn’t hold back her tears. She forced herself to endure and patted her daughter’s hand that was holding her arm. "Mother knows, you and A Yu are both ambitious people. Don’t worry... Mother will guard the rear for you. Confidently go to Daliang! Grip the military power firmly in your hands! As long as you hold the military power, the people in Dadu City will naturally be intimidated!"

Bai Qingyan nodded.

Mrs. Dong raised her hand and hugged her daughter in her arms. "What you want to achieve is the make-or-break of kings. If you succeed... the Bai family will be remembered for generations. If you fail... the reputation the Bai family has accumulated for generations will be completely gone. If you don’t have complete certainty, never act recklessly because of anything that happens in Shuoyang, understand?"

Mrs. Dong thought more long-term. She feared that if her daughter showed too much brilliance on the battlefield again, the Emperor and the Crown Prince would become suspicious of the Bai family and try to grasp Bai Qingyan’s weakness to force her to submit!

If that day did come, Mrs. Dong hoped her daughter would never stop moving forward or even submit and be captured because of them.

How could Bai Qingyan not understand Mrs. Dong’s meaning? She hugged Mrs. Dong’s arm tightly and smiled, "That day will never come. I won’t give them the chance!"

In Dadu City, Fu Ruoxi was her person... There were also her people in the imperial guard!

Since the Bai family suffered a great disaster, Bai Qingyan had always acted cautiously, never daring to be the slightest bit negligent or take any chances. Now, everything was roughly in place.

"Mother is not by your side, but your father will definitely protect you from the heavens, just like protecting A Yu..." Mrs. Dong gently patted her daughter’s back, more like comforting herself. "But you need to take care of yourself. Don’t think you are still the same as before!"

"Kid knows! Mother, rest assured..."

That night, Mrs. Dong stayed at Boyun Courtyard, accompanying her daughter to sleep, fanning her with a round fan to make her sleep more comfortably.

Watching her daughter sleep soundly, Mrs. Dong secretly wiped away her tears, almost staying up all night.

At dawn the next day, Mrs. Dong only fell asleep in a daze. Bai Qingyan didn’t want to disturb her, so she quietly got up, covered Mrs. Dong with a thin blanket, tiptoed out of the inner room, and went to the warm chamber to pack.

Chun Tao, with red eyes, helped Bai Qingyan tie her long hair up high and put on her armor. She wanted to ask the young lady to take her to the battlefield, but she knew that in such a place, she could only hold the young lady back, so she swallowed her words.

Nanny Tong fastened a red cloak over Bai Qingyan’s armor and said, "Last night, the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Ladies stayed up all night to make this new cloak, with peace blessings sewn into the four corners inside. They hope the young lady can return safely."

Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes and touched the finely stitched cloak. She said to Nanny Tong, "Thank the three aunts for me."

Chun Tao knelt to straighten the cloak for Bai Qingyan. When she stood up, she couldn’t stop her tears from falling. Bai Qingyan, seeing Chun Tao’s eyes swollen like walnuts, bent her index finger to wipe away the tears hanging on Chun Tao’s face. "While I’m not home, take good care of Mother and guard this Boyun Courtyard."

Cai Ziyuan stared at Bai Qingyan’s slender but upright figure. His palm subtly clenched tighter. The Bai Qingyan before him... composed and noble, where had the usual frail posture gone? _{freēwēbnovel.com}
