The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1389: beg for mercy
Chapter 1389 Asking for a favor
Liu choked up and nodded, unable to utter a word.
Yes, her son must still be alive, he’s just somewhere and can’t come back for the time being. As long as she is alive…she will be able to see her son one day!
Mrs. Dong walked up to Bai Qingyu, her smile uglier than crying. She helped her son up and saw that half of his face was covered with burn marks. He was no longer as handsome as before. She raised her hand and touched the burn marks on her son’s face with heartache. She wanted to ask her son if it still hurt, but she burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.
She bit her lower lip, swallowed her emotions, looked at her son with wide eyes, tried her best to keep her voice steady, and looked at the children of the Bai family who had been helped to stand up by their mother and servants, and said with relief: “Although your grandfather, father, uncles and aunts are gone, you have grown up and are able to take on the responsibilities of the Bai family. Whether it is your grandfather, your father, or your uncles and aunts, they will all be proud of you! You have lived up to the teachings of your grandfather and father, and the expectations of your uncles and aunts! You are all good children and grandchildren of our Bai family!”
Bai Qingyan stood behind Dong, looking at her brothers and sisters standing in the bright morning light, feeling deeply moved. She was also proud of her brothers and sisters!
She looked past her brothers and sisters and looked towards the distance at the black sail and white python flags fluttering in the golden sunrise…one after another. She looked at the soldiers of the Bai family army and her eyes became hot.
The officials who followed Bai Qingyan to welcome the army returning from Xiliang Dasheng, headed by General Lu, followed behind Bai Qingyan.
As the prime minister, Dong Qingping should not have gone past General Lu, but now that he saw Ayu coming back safely, how could he bear it any longer?
Dong Qingping stepped forward and stood beside Dong, looking at his nephew with tears in his eyes. He already knew that his nephew was the ghost-faced prince of Rongdi. He had suffered so much injustice and was injured like this, but he still did not forget to contribute to the unification of the world! He also conquered Rongdi for the Great Zhou!
How strong this child’s will must be! How cruel this child is to himself!
How could Dong Qingping not feel distressed? !
“Uncle…” Bai Qingyu saluted Dong Qingping.
Dong Qingping nodded. He was a tall and strong man, but when he saw the burn marks on Bai Qingyu’s face, and saw that his nephew, who was once a brilliant nephew… Mr. Ruyu, had become like this, he couldn’t hold back his tears no matter what. When he heard Ayu calling him “uncle” in a hoarse voice, Dong Qingping’s heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of arrows.
He gritted his teeth, raised his hand and patted Bai Qingyu’s shoulder, trying to smile, but his voice was choked with sobs and out of tune: “Come back… I’m glad you’re back! Being able to come back is better than anything else!”
“Sister…” Bai Qingyu’s voice sounded beside Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan came back to his senses and looked at Bai Qingyu.
“Eldest sister…”
“Eldest sister!”
“Eldest sister…”
Bai Qingqi, Bai Jinxiu and the others all looked at Bai Qingyan who had been silent the whole time. Bai Jinzhi even rushed to Bai Qingyan and looked up at her and said, “Sister, Fifth Brother said… he is not the commander-in-chief of the Bai Family Army. The commander-in-chief of the Bai Family Army will always be sister! We brothers and sisters all think so! Sister used to be the Little Commander of our Bai Family Army, and now… she is the Commander of our Bai Family Army!”
Bai Qingyan was slightly startled, and pursed his lips, but he was afraid that he would cry out loud if he opened his mouth, so he just smiled and raised his hand to touch Bai Bai Jinzhi’s head, looking at his brothers and sisters, and finally said after a while: “Let’s go home…”
Bai Qingqi, who was always calm, could hardly hold back the tears in her eyes and shouted, “Enter the city, go home!”
Lv Jinxian, who was standing beside General Lv, stretched his neck to look back, but didn’t see Lv Yuanpeng. He frowned and said, “Why can’t I see Yuanpeng? Did he go straight back to the barracks?”
When his son mentioned Lv Yuanpeng, Taiwei Lv’s face darkened: “That unfilial grandson, when he comes back, tell him to kneel down in the ancestral hall!”
When Lu Jinxian heard his father’s words, a smile appeared on his lips: “Father, as an uncle, I’m asking for mercy for Xiaoliu!”
General Lu was so furious that he couldn’t wait to lock up Lu Yuanpeng in the ancestral hall and beat his palms with a bamboo board until they were swollen. He didn’t know what that brat Lu Yuanpeng said during the battle in Xiliang. There was a rumor going around that General Lu had an illegitimate son who was sent to the Bai family army to fight!
Taiwei Lu cursed countless times in the mansion, saying that this bastard Lu Yuanpeng was a good-for-nothing. He had been wise all his life… and now he was old, but let this brat ruin his reputation outside. This time, no matter who pleaded for him, it would be useless. If he didn’t use the family rules to teach that brat a lesson… he would not be Lu Yuanpeng’s father-in-law!

Since Bai Qingyu is now the King of Zhenguo, he should naturally live in the Bai Mansion.
The Bai Mansion has been renovated under the supervision of Butler Hao, and the plaque above the door of the mansion has been replaced with a black-and-gold painted “Zhenguo Guofu”.
Long before Bai Qingyu, Bai Qingqi, Bai Qingjue, Bai Qingyun, Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jinzhi, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi came back, several aunts had already discussed with Bai Qingyan that they would move back to the Bai Mansion when the children came back.
After all, it was against the rules for the children to live with them in the palace after they came back, and the aunts wanted to live with their own children.
This was all understandable, so Bai Qingyan asked Wei Zhong to arrange for the gifts from the aunts to be sent back to the courtyards of the aunts in the Bai family.
However, Bai Qingyan was a woman and did not have the emperor’s habit of having three palaces and six courtyards, so she kept the palaces where her aunts lived, saying that they could come back anytime they wanted.
Bai Qingyan thought that his mother had been missing Ayu for a long time, so he asked Wei Zhong and Nanny Qin to pack his mother’s daily necessities and send them back to her courtyard in Bai Mansion, and asked his mother to spend more time with Ayu in Bai Mansion.
Mrs. Dong never mentioned that she wanted to move back to Bai Mansion because she couldn’t bear to leave her daughter alone in the palace. After all, her daughter was the emperor now and it was impossible for her to leave the palace as she pleased, let alone live in Bai Mansion. If the censors knew about this, who knows what they would say.
When Bai Qingyan asked Nanny Qin to pack Dong’s luggage, Dong thought for a moment and said that she would stay at the Bai Mansion for three days… and then come back to take care of the two children, otherwise she was afraid that Bai Qingyan would be too busy.
Bai Qingyan agreed in person, but still hoped that A Niang could stay in the Bai Mansion for a longer time and spend more time with A Yu.
She has always had her mother by her side, while Ayu has been alone in southern Xinjiang, hiding the news of her birth, silently contributing to the Great Zhou and the peace of the world…
Now that Xiliang has been destroyed and Ayu has finally returned, his mother should love his younger brother more.
When they returned to the Bai family, Butler Hao and Gu Lao were so happy to see Bai Qingyu back.
