Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 887

Chapter 887: Modified: Chapter 884: Assistance

Having served the Crown Prince since he was young, even when the Crown Prince was the unpopular King of Qi, he was still the most favored eunuch by the prince. Aside from his master... rarely did anyone make Quan Yu abandon his dignity to kneel and plead.

Later, when the King of Qi was enthroned as the Crown Prince, Quan Yu’s status also rose significantly. Many courted his favor, yet even towards his master... he never again bent the knee to anyone.

This was the first time in many years that Quan Yu had discarded his dignity to kneel and plead to a guard.

The guard of the Bai family felt compassion upon seeing Quan Yu like this. He had seen Quan Yu many times, and whether towards the Eldest Young Lady or the Fourth Young Lady, Quan Yu’s care and concern were genuine, unlike other servants who were slavish. He remembered when the Eldest Young Lady was injured, Quan Yu was even more worried than the Crown Prince.

Having heard there was a commotion outside, Bai Jinse came to see who dared to make trouble, only to find the eunuch Quan Yu from the Crown Prince’s side.

The guards from the Bai family in Shuoyang, who were guarding the Bai Mansion’s entrance, were about to salute when Bai Jinse raised her hand to stop them.

She heard a Bai family guard persuading Quan Yu to leave, explaining that their Eldest Young Lady was truly too busy to see him, as she had not even had a moment to rest since her return, and that the guards were genuinely unwilling to disturb her.

Bai Jinse turned and whispered an instruction, "Be courteous to the eunuch, persuade him to leave, but do not use force."

The guard captain of the Bai family troops in Shuoyang cupped his fists and acknowledged her command.

After casting a deep glance at Quan Yu, who was still kneeling and tearfully pleading outside the Bai Mansion’s gate, Bai Jinse turned and re-entered the mansion.

Quan Yu was the most favored eunuch by the Crown Prince of the Jin Dynasty. By logic, with the change of dynasties, such a eunuch should not be retained. However, Quan Yu had not harmed the Bai family while serving the deposed Crown Prince. Instead, he had aided the Eldest Young Lady.

Yet, Quan Yu’s position was awkward. He firmly believed that the Eldest Young Lady aimed for the throne only after thinking the Crown Prince had died. Even if he truly saw the Eldest Young Lady, the answer he obtained would differ from his beliefs. So why bother?

Bai Jinse carried a small silver cup of koumiss, lifted the curtain, and entered the upper room of the Qinghui Courtyard. She saw Nanny Jiang kneeling beside several baskets of memorials, crying to Bai Qingyan. Placing the koumiss and the small silver spoon by Bai Qingyan’s hand, she quietly retreated to the side.

Nanny Jiang’s voice was choked with sobs as she spoke. Bai Qingyan beckoned Zhenming and Zhenguang several times to help Nanny Jiang up, but Nanny Jiang remained kneeling.

Kneeling forward, she looked at Bai Qingyan and said slowly and sorrowfully, "Eldest Miss, the Eldest Princess’s intentions are earnest. She begs you not to blame her. She is not only your grandmother but also the Eldest Princess of Jin Kingdom. The Eldest Princess was cherished and raised with great care, and how could she disregard the empire her father entrusted her to protect? Please, Eldest Miss, do not blame the Eldest Princess!"

"If Nanny insists on kneeling, does she expect me to accompany her in kneeling?" Bai Qingyan set down her pen and looked at Nanny Jiang.

Bai Jinse stepped forward to personally help Nanny Jiang up. "Nanny... please rise! If you continue kneeling like this, the Eldest Young Lady will indeed kneel with you..."

Upon hearing Bai Jinse’s words, Nanny Jiang, with tears in her eyes, finally stood up with Zhenming’s help while gazing sorrowfully at Bai Qingyan, "Eldest Miss..."

Nanny Jiang recalled watching Bai Qingyan grow from a little girl. Bai Qingyan had always been one who would endure pain without complaint. Her mind was too occupied with worries at the time. Seeing Bai Qingyan silent, she assumed Bai Qingyan was invincible. freewebnoveℓ.com
