The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 125 Article
Between her grandson and her benefactor, she can only choose her grandson, and she feels guilty towards her benefactor.
The eldest princess had made up her mind, and her tone was as deep as ice water from a deep well: “No one in the manor who knows that the bride is dead needs to stay. Bring that evil creature back and tell the public that… the Ji family’s bride followed that evil creature back to the Duke’s Mansion to take care of Ji Tingyu. You arrange for a woman of the same age as the Ji family’s bride to enter the mansion and let her pretend to be more authentic. Ji Tingyu was seriously injured… He has been unconscious since midnight today. After the Duke’s burial tomorrow… the loyal and brave Ji Tingyu could not hold on and followed the Duke, and the Ji family’s bride was heartbroken and committed suicide for love. Just like this… let’s end this matter!”
The Grand Princess decided Ji Tingyu’s life or death with just a few words.
Nanny Jiang understood that the Grand Princess handled the matter at lightning speed in order to quickly end the matter while the eldest sister was still worried about the Bai family’s funeral and had no energy or time to spare.
Nanny Jiang had followed the Grand Princess since she was a child, and she knew that once the Grand Princess made a decision, no one could persuade her. But she couldn’t help but say, “Grand Princess, if my elder sister knew about this in the future, I’m afraid she would… break up with you!”
“Then don’t let Abao know!” The eldest princess opened her red eyes, and her hands holding the Buddhist beads trembled continuously, “Never let Abao know!”
Otherwise, how would she face her granddaughter?
She was a woman who grew up in the deep palace. She never dared to say that her hands were not stained with the blood of innocent people, but she did not want her most beloved granddaughter to see the dirtiest and darkest side of her heart.
Knowing that her granddaughter had been tolerant of her in every way, knowing that her granddaughter spared the life of the bastard because of her blood relationship with her! Her granddaughter was willing to submit to her for the land that the Bai family had protected for generations… knowing that if she killed Ji Tingyu… she would force her granddaughter to oppose her.
But considering A Bao’s personality, if he knew that Bai Qingxuan, that evil creature, had forced Ji Tingyu’s wife to death, he would definitely not let that evil creature live!
Knowing so much…she still had to do it.
Because she was greedy, she had a glimmer of hope, hoping that she could keep the illegitimate son and also preserve her relationship with Abao as a grandparent and grandchild.
The eldest princess looked very sad and finally shed tears.
When the sky in the capital city had completely darkened, Bai Qingxuan returned to the Duke’s Mansion alone. The Grand Princess had left Bai Qingxuan’s biological mother on the farm.
The eldest princess did not meet Bai Qingxuan in person. She only asked Nanny Jiang to pass a message to Bai Qingxuan, asking him to go to the mourning hall to keep vigil, and to be respectful and obedient when he saw his elder sister Bai Qingyan. If he disobeyed his elder sister… the Bai family would definitely punish him severely after the incident.
Bai Qingxuan said yes respectfully and followed Nanny Jiang to the mourning hall.
As soon as he saw Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingxuan bowed and lowered his head, not wanting others to see the scratches on his face caused by the woman’s nails: “Eldest sister is fine, second sister is fine.”
When Bai Jinzhi saw Bai Qingxuan following Nanny Jiang, he immediately became furious and sneered, “Didn’t he run away? How come… after His Majesty issued the decree to posthumously confer the title on my grandfather, he came back with a smug look on his face?”
Bai Qingxuan’s eyebrows twitched, he lowered his eyes to hide the cruelty in his eyes, and knelt in front of the mourning hall without saying a word.
“Big sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, the eldest princess asked Brother Xuan to come to keep vigil tonight, you should go back and rest!”
“That’s great!” Bai Qingyan didn’t hesitate, holding Chuntao’s hand and standing up. He glanced at the bloodstains on Bai Qingxuan’s face and said to his sisters, “Let’s go back. We still have a lot to do at the funeral tomorrow.”
After returning to Qinghui Courtyard, Chun Xing hurriedly asked the maid to bring warm water and help Bai Qingyan wash up. She also arranged for the maid to put out some light snacks so that Bai Qingyan could at least eat something before going to sleep.
“Did Ji Tingyu wake up in the afternoon?” She wiped her face with a hot towel and turned to ask Chuntao.
Chun Tao, who was making the bed, bit her lip, suppressed her sore nose and shook the quilt even harder, answered the question irrelevantly and deliberately smiled to change the subject: “I heard that Ji Tingyu’s wife came today and said she would serve Ji Tingyu personally. I secretly went to take a look and she is a very beautiful lady!”
Nanny Tong explained that the eldest girl must not know about Ji Tingyu’s sudden coma for the time being. Ji Tingyu is a meritorious contributor to the Bai family, and Doctor Hong will definitely do his best to treat him. There is no need to let the eldest girl worry about it in vain. The eldest girl has been tired enough from only sleeping for one or two hours a day these days.
She heard from Lupin a few days ago that Ji Tingyu had married a new wife a few years ago.
She handed the handkerchief to the maid, turned around and told Chuntao: “Ji Tingyu has no elders in his family. I think the new bride must be worried about being alone at home. It would be good for them to reunite. Tell the people below to treat Ji Tingyu’s wife with courtesy.”
“Don’t worry, young lady. When the Madam learned that Ji Tingyu’s wife was coming, she asked Nanny Qin to personally remind her. The people below are very respectful to Ji Tingyu’s wife.” Chuntao had put down the curtain. “Young lady, please use something and then rest! I lit some incense to help you sleep. I’ll be busy tomorrow!”
Since the news came back on New Year’s Eve, one thing after another, she was indeed very tired, but her heart could not let go of Jintong’s words that Nanny Jiang took people to her grandmother’s longevity house in a hurry today.
“Chun Xing, please ask Madam Tong to come in. I want to ask her something.”
“Yes!” Chun Xingfu stepped out.
She sat in front of the square table, took a sip of the warm water that Chun Xing had placed on the black lacquered table, and had just finished two pieces of dessert when Nanny Tong came.
“Young lady.” Nanny Tong bowed.
“Have you investigated the matter clearly?” She picked up the goat’s milk and took a sip.
Now Dong has handed over all the arrangements in the mansion to Bai Qingyan. Nanny Tong is the most respected nanny around Bai Qingyan, and it is very smooth for her to investigate these matters.
“I have found out clearly that the maidservant brought into the mansion by Nanny Jiang today is from the outer courtyard, and today Nanny Jiang sent several maidservants to the farm to pick up the second master’s illegitimate son, and that maidservant Qi was one of them! But for some reason, it was that maidservant Qi who came back alone to see Nanny Jiang, and then Nanny Jiang took her to Changshou Courtyard. After leaving Changshou Courtyard, the maidservant went to the farm again, and then came back with the second master’s illegitimate son! Later, when I went to look for this maidservant again, I couldn’t find her! The maidservants and grooms who went to the farm to pick people up were not there!” Nanny Jiang added, “By the way, Ji Tingyu’s wife also came back with this maidservant Qi and the second master’s illegitimate son. I heard that the Ji family is on this farm.”
He went to pick up the bastard…but came back alone, hurriedly met his grandmother, and only brought the bastard back on the second trip. This matter was strange in itself.
Now the old woman and the groom who went to pick up the people are gone. She doesn’t believe that there is something fishy about this.
It’s not that she is paranoid, but the Bai family cannot make any wrong mistakes now.
