The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 132: tenth day
Chapter 132 The Tenth Day
Even though her grandfather, father, uncle, and brothers were all killed, and the Bai family was hit by a catastrophe, her granddaughter was still able to keep her heart, maintain her integrity, and keep her bottom line of kindness! She also possessed the integrity and toughness that were the foundation of the Bai family.
The eldest princess was heartbroken but also relieved. She was relieved that although her hands were covered in blood, fortunately… Abao was not like that. Abao was a true member of the Bai family!
“Get up!” The eldest princess opened her eyes, looking exhausted. “Give this half of the jade pendant to A Bao. I will hand over this trained secret guard to her from now on!”
Nanny Jiang finally burst into tears of joy: “Hey! I will definitely talk to my elder sister!”
“Tell Abao that after the funeral tomorrow, she can do whatever she wants with the bastard! I… won’t stop her anymore!” The eldest princess sighed, feeling extremely sad, and said in a low voice, “Tell her not to hate me as her grandmother! I am old and tend to be blinded by blood ties and guilt in many things.”

At midnight, Nanny Tong walked into the room with small steps, bowed to Bai Qingyan and said, “Miss, Nanny Jiang from the Grand Princess’s side is here and wants to see you.”
She stared at Ji Tingyu, whose breathing was even on the bed, put down the hot hand warmer in her hand, and said to Doctor Hong who was still guarding here: “Thank you, Doctor Hong, for guarding Ji Tingyu. I’ll be back soon!”
“Go back and rest for an hour, young lady! We still have things to do with the funeral procession. Ji Tingyu is now stable, and I will not let anything happen to him!”
She nodded and bowed, took the hand warmer, put on a cloak, and came out of the room with a bright fire.
A cold wind blew towards her. Seeing Nanny Jiang standing at the door, she clenched the hand warmer in her hand and stepped out.
“Big sister…” After Nanny Jiang stepped forward and bowed, tears began to fall from her eyes.
“Madam, please say what you want to say quickly. I’m very tired.” There was a hint of coldness in her weak voice, and she did not have the usual closeness to Madam Jiang at all.
Nanny Jiang walked up to Bai Qingyan, holding half of the black jade dragon pendant in both hands and handed it to Bai Qingyan: “Big sister, you should know that the eldest princess has a group of royal secret guards! This is the black jade dragon pendant that commands the secret guards. The secret guards only obey the orders of the holder of the half dragon pendant! After the funeral tomorrow, Wei Zhong will come to pay a visit to the eldest sister, and will only obey the eldest sister’s orders in the future. The eldest princess asked this old servant to hand over this jade to the eldest sister, and also said… After the funeral tomorrow, she will no longer ask how the eldest sister wants to deal with the bastard!”
Seeing that Bai Qingyan didn’t accept the jade pendant, Nanny Jiang walked to Bai Qingyan and raised her hand to hold hers: “I will accompany you back to Qinghui Courtyard while we talk!”
“I’m going to the mourning hall.” Bai Qingyan said.
Grandfather, father, uncles and brothers must be left alone to look after them.
Nanny Jiang nodded and helped Bai Qingyan walk towards the mourning hall: “Big sister… the eldest princess said that she was old and confused, blinded by blood and guilt, and asked big sister not to hate her! Big sister… I have followed the eldest princess all my life, and I only heard the eldest princess admit her mistakes twice, both times to big sister! Big sister asked the eldest princess to choose between you and that bastard, but big sister is a cloud in the sky… the eldest princess’s favorite, and that bastard is as lowly as dust. How can he be compared with big sister?!”
The cold wind in the middle of the night is the most freezing, but it is not more biting than the chill in people’s hearts.
No matter how hot it is, it can’t warm up a dead heart.
“This time, the Grand Princess even handed over her secret guards. My dear sister… the Grand Princess is just trying to show you her sincerity. The Grand Princess will go to the royal nunnery for meditation soon, and I’m going back to Shuoyang. To put it bluntly… the next time the grandparents and grandchildren meet may be when they are separated by Yin and Yang! The Grand Princess is old… and she won’t live for many more years, so please forgive me! The men of the Bai family are gone, and the rest of us must not be alienated!” Nanny Jiang said earnestly.
“Madam, have you ever advised the Grand Princess about this?”
Bai Qingyan’s voice was so cold that Nanny Jiang’s fingers trembled. The Grand Princess… not Grandmother. Is Big Sister really going to sever her relationship with the Grand Princess? !
“Big sister!” Nanny Jiang gritted her teeth and tightly grasped Bai Qingyan’s hand, “It was Nanny who gave the idea of poisoning Ji Tingyu to the Grand Princess! Big sister, if you are not satisfied, I will go back and commit suicide to pay it back! I also beg you to stop hating your grandmother, okay?!”
She paused and looked at Nanny Jiang, and suddenly thought of Yu Lian, who poisoned Ji Tingyu in order to save her mother.
She pulled her hand back from Nanny Jiang’s and looked at her steadily: “Mammy, the stupidest thing in the world is to use your own life as a price to hand over the life or future of someone who is important to you to someone else! Mammy, you should stay alive and serve grandma well! The Dark Guard… I accept it, but apart from this title, the relationship between grandma and me will never go back to the past.”
The Bai family still needed the protection of their grandmother, the Grand Princess. As long as the Grand Princess stopped protecting that bastard, she wouldn’t have to be too decisive.
After all… the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren was not fake. But now they are indeed different and can never go back.
She took half of the jade pendant from Nanny Jiang’s hand and turned to walk towards the mourning hall.
Nanny Jiang stood under the lamp with tears in her eyes. She sighed as she watched Bai Qingyan, Nanny Tong and Chuntao walking further and further away. In the end, a rift arose between the two of them, and it was feared that it would never be bridged in this lifetime.
Bai Qingyan stopped in front of the mourning hall before entering. She turned to Madam Tong and said, “Madam, tell Uncle Ping to pick a dozen guards with strong martial arts skills to guard outside the mourning hall. As soon as that bastard enters the mourning hall, no matter who brings him, immediately capture him and kill him. No mistake!”
“Yes!” Nanny Tong nodded.
She walked into the mourning hall and saw Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jintong and Bai Jinzhi, who had all gone back to rest, were all there.
“Eldest sister…” Bai Jinxiu stood up.
At that moment, her eyes turned red: “Why are you here?”
“We can’t leave our grandfather, father, uncles and brothers unattended here.” Bai Jintong said.
“Eldest sister!” Bai Jinzhi walked to Bai Qingyan and said solemnly, “Tomorrow… I will definitely kill that bastard with a single blow! Don’t worry, elder sister!”
She curled her lips and gently stroked Bai Jinzhi’s head: “We sisters will stay here to accompany our grandfather and the others.”

On the tenth day, heavy snow suddenly fell in the middle of the night, shrouding the entire capital city in deep haze.
At the first quarter of the morning, before daybreak, smoke was already rising from the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo, and servants and maids were coming in and out of the corner gate.
The maids in each courtyard, carrying copper kettles with plum blossom-painted hot water or black lacquered food boxes with gold decoration, went in and out of the kitchen one after another, tiptoeing along the winding corridors decorated with plain silk and white lanterns to return to their respective courtyards in an orderly manner.
