The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 129 Precious
Now she goes to the funeral home in two situations…
One possibility was that the bastard was in the mourning hall, so maybe it wasn’t the grandmother who did it, maybe it was the bastard’s biological mother, or Yu Lian’s father, the village head, who was afraid that Ji Tingyu would know that the new bride of the Ji family was dead, so he bribed the servant of the Duke’s Mansion to pick up the bastard and did it. Then she killed the beast with a knife, and then killed the bastard’s mother and the village head.
One possibility is that the illegitimate son was not in the mourning hall. That means that when she asked someone to investigate who brought the doctor into the house, the grandmother knew about it and moved the illegitimate son away in advance. Then, putting this series of events together makes it very clear that it was the grandmother who wanted to kill Ji Tingyu.
Her heart was filled with tremendous rage, bone-chilling sadness, and the deepest and saddest disappointment in her grandmother, but she must not lose her mind and panic. After her rebirth, she took every step extremely carefully. The overall situation was still undecided, and it was not the time for her to lose her mind!
Bai Qingyan patted Bai Jintong’s hand, tightly grasped the long sword, walked quickly to the front hall, and stepped into the mourning hall.
The bastard was indeed not there.
But she didn’t expect that waiting for her were the Grand Princess and Nanny Jiang with tears in their eyes.
Her heart sank further and further.
“Big sister…” Nanny Jiang called out and then burst into tears.
Before she saw the Grand Princess, even though the bastard was no longer in the mourning hall, she still had a glimmer of fantasy in her heart… Maybe it wasn’t her grandmother who wanted to kill Ji Tingyu, but she was just covering up for the bastard and his mother!
Her hand holding the knife was shaking, and a chill was spreading from the bottom of her heart. She didn’t even notice that her eyes were already red.
She came with a knife in hand and in a high profile in order to let the Grand Princess see her determination to kill the bastard and protect Ji Tingyu.
The eldest princess was waiting for her in the mourning hall, wasn’t it to let her see her determination to protect that bastard?
“grandmother!”
“The Grand Princess!”
Bai Jintong and Lupin saluted the Grand Duke.
The eldest princess looked at the shining knife in Bai Qingyan’s hand, her face as gentle and calm as usual, still with that compassionate look, and said: “All of you get out of the mourning hall, stay away…Abao and I have something to say!”
“yes!”
As soon as Bai Jintong, Nanny Jiang and Lupin left, the eldest princess took out three incense sticks. Her hands holding the incense were shaking so much that she couldn’t aim at the flame. After calming down a little, she raised her head again, squinted her misty eyes and finally lit the three incense sticks: “Abao, grandma has disappointed you…”
“The word ‘disappointment’… Grandmother is really too light!” She tightly grasped the long knife in her hand and looked at her grandmother quietly. She was so disappointed that she calmed down strangely. She just felt like she was immersed in ice-cold water, so cold that her whole body was numb. “If Ji Tingyu hadn’t sacrificed his life to protect the bamboo slips, Grandfather would have been branded as a stubborn soldier and would have died with his eyes open. The Bai family is a loyal and heroic family… and their souls would be restless! He was a loyal and righteous man who had done a favor to the Bai family! And you, Grandmother… to cover up for a bastard who was worse than an animal, who forced Ji Tingyu’s wife to death, and swung a sword to insult the corpse, such an outrageous thing that both humans and gods did, you actually wanted to kill Ji Tingyu! Where in the world is there such a ungrateful person who can’t tell right from wrong?!”
The eldest princess stiffened her body and slowly inserted the incense into the incense burner.
“Grandmother has always owed others her whole life! For the sake of the royal family, I owe your grandfather, my son, and my grandchildren. For the sake of the Bai family’s incense, I owe Ji Tingyu who has done a favor to the Bai family…” The eldest princess choked up, “Take money from Peter to pay Paul! Grandmother is also in a very embarrassing situation…”
The eldest princess turned around, her silver hair was particularly clear under the candlelight. She did not try to hide her old age, and said in a hoarse voice: “Abao, originally grandma did not want you to see grandma’s most unbearable side, nor did she want you to see grandma’s hands stained with blood! But to grandma… the blood of the Bai family is more noble than that of a loyal servant, so grandma had no choice but to abandon the loyal servant and choose this bastard.”
Noble?!
When she heard these two words, the anger that had been suppressed in her heart rushed straight to her temples.
She looked up, and saw the cold and murderous eyes of the Grand Princess: “The nobility of the Bai family has never been in their bloodline, but in their family integrity, and in the inheritance of the torch from generation to generation…their loyalty to the country and their lives! Their loyalty to the people! What qualifications does that bastard have to be called a member of the Bai family?! Ji Tingyu is a loyal and righteous man who is willing to sacrifice his life for justice for our Bai family! That is true nobility! What has that bastard done for the Bai family?! Just because he has the blood of the Bai family in his body, just because his surname is Bai, his life is more noble than others?!”
“Then…what do you want?” The eldest princess gradually straightened her spine, and her majesty silently pressed down on Bai Qingyan, “Now that Ji Tingyu’s new wife is dead, do you really want to kill the last bloodline of the Bai family for an ordinary citizen?”
She was not afraid of the eldest princess at all. She clenched her fists and took a step forward. Her eyes were illuminated by the flickering candlelight and were blazing: “The last bloodline of the Bai family? Isn’t the bloodline of the Bai family in Fifth Aunt’s belly?! Am I not the bloodline of the Bai family?! Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jintong, Bai Jinzhi, Bai Jinzhao, Bai Jinhua, Bai Jinse, which one of them is not the bloodline of the Bai family?!”
The eldest princess raised her voice: “But you are all women. How will you inherit the family business if you marry into another family in the future? How will you leave roots for your grandfather?!”
“Are you worried that the Bai family bloodline will be cut off? Why not recruit a son-in-law?!” she asked harshly, “Could it be that your granddaughters… do they have less Bai family blood in their bodies than that bastard?!”
The Grand Princess had taught her countless times… told her that the world was harsh on women and that women had a hard life, but the Duke’s Mansion… never judged heroes by gender. But in fact, in the Grand Princess’ heart, there was still a difference between grandsons and granddaughters!
The eldest princess was forced into silence and stared at Bai Qingyan, angry and humiliated: “A Bao, what on earth are you going to do?!”
She threw the long sword in her hand, and her high-pitched voice was loud and clear: “I want justice! I want justice for Ji Tingyu, the loyal servant of the Bai family! I want justice for Ji Liu!”
In the mourning hall, after a long silence, the eldest princess sighed and said, “Abao, there is no such thing as justice in this world! You are all grandchildren of the eldest princess of the Great Jin Kingdom, and the bloodline of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. This means that you are destined to be different from ordinary people! You have been living a life of luxury since childhood… but some ordinary people can’t even get enough to eat. The silver you pay for a random ornament in your house may be the money an ordinary family of six spends for more than ten years. If you want to talk about fairness… is this fair? People are born with different levels of nobility and inferiority. Even if the bastard is a very treacherous and evil person, he is the offspring of your second uncle, so he is more valuable than others!”
