The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 154: proud of
Chapter 154: Proud
In the rain of arrows, she looked at her father’s handsome and elegant face with a smile on it, and gently raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face: “Daddy’s Abao has grown up, you must protect your mother for daddy, don’t seek revenge, don’t bear hatred, live a peaceful life for the rest of your life, as long as you can live!”
Seeing her father’s figure disappearing like quicksand in the wind, her heart was in turmoil and she reached out to grab him in panic…but she couldn’t catch anything!
“Sister!”
Hearing the sound, she turned around suddenly and saw her brother standing under a mountain of corpses covered in blood. She rushed towards her brother like crazy: “Ayu! Ayu!”
I know that my father and brother have passed away long ago.
She knew clearly that this was just a dream, a heart-wrenching and heart-breaking dream, but she still didn’t want to wake up!
Because her relatives are here!
Bai Qingyu’s bloodstained face showed a regretful smile, and she choked in a low voice: “Sister, Ayu promised to present the most beautiful pigeon blood stone in southern Xinjiang to you when we return victoriously. Ayu is going to break her promise!”
She hugged her brother tightly, closed her eyes and burst into tears: “Sister doesn’t want the pigeon blood stone! Sister doesn’t want it! Sister just wants Yu to be fine! Yu… Yu!”
“Abao…”
Hearing the voice, she turned around: “Grandfather!”
Her grandfather was wearing the clothes he usually wore when practicing martial arts at home. He smiled and waved at her as usual, with a kind and gentle look in his eyes.
The hand holding her brother suddenly fell free, and her brother was no longer in front of her. Her throat tightened and she could only walk towards her grandfather step by step with tears in her eyes. She knelt in front of her grandfather with grief, hugged his legs and cried loudly: “Grandfather! Grandfather…”
Grandfather bent down and gently stroked her head, holding her hand. His old and kind voice slowly spoke with the power to soothe people: “Abao protected my sister and supported the Bai family… Grandfather is very pleased and proud of Abao.”
She gritted her teeth and shook her head vigorously. No… She didn’t do well enough! She didn’t deserve to make her grandfather proud. If she could cheer up earlier, not treat herself as a sickly person, and recover her martial arts earlier, she could go to southern Xinjiang with her grandfather… Maybe her death could be used to exchange for the safety of even one or two relatives of the Bai family.
Grandfather smiled more and more kindly: “Abao, do you know what grandpa wishes for in his life?”
“The sea is calm and the rivers are clear, the world is at peace…”
Grandfather nodded, his voice full of compassion and tenderness after having experienced many vicissitudes of life: “It is better to be a dog in peace than a man in chaos! In troubled times, the people want nothing more than peace. Are you willing to inherit grandfather’s legacy and do your part for the people?”
“The Bai family has been a family of loyal ministers and generals for generations. They are upright, dedicated to the people, and selfless in their dedication to public service. However, they ended up being suspected by the lord and executed. Grandfather… still wants me to protect the Great Jin Dynasty?”
“Abao, what do you think is the purpose of human life?” asked the grandfather in a gentle voice.
Before she could answer, her grandfather’s figure disappeared in a soft light. Her throat tightened and she reached out to grab her grandfather but missed.
“Grandfather! Grandfather!” She called out to her grandfather in panic, but her voice was the only echo in the empty canyon.
“Eldest sister! Eldest sister…”
She heard Bai Jintong’s call and opened her eyes suddenly.
“Elder sister!” Bai Jinzhi, who was lying on the edge of the bed, stood up.
“Eldest sister!” Bai Jinxiu’s eyes were red, and tears burst out when she saw her eldest sister open her eyes. She turned around and shouted to the outside, “Aunt, my eldest sister is awake! My eldest sister is really awake!”
Dong, who was talking to Doctor Hong outside the screen, heard this and hurried into the inner room, holding up her skirt.
Bai Jinxiu wiped her tears and pulled Bai Jintong and Bai Jinzhi away from the bed. Dong’s throat rolled over. She sat on the bed and touched Bai Qingyan’s forehead: “The fever is gone! It’s really gone! Thank God!”
“Mother…”
Bai Qingyan’s hoarse voice sounded, and Dong couldn’t hold back her tears. She held her hand tightly and bit her lower lip tightly: “Just wake up! Just wake up!”
“Sister, you have been sleeping for two days!” Bai Jintong said.
Two days… No wonder I feel so weak.
“Sister, you scared us to death!” Bai Jinzhi’s voice choked with sobs.
“Yes!” Bai Jintong breathed a sigh of relief and spoke more cheerfully, “My eldest sister suddenly developed a high fever, and even Doctor Huang and Doctor Hong were helpless. It was Mr. Xiao who heard about it and said that his brother had the same symptoms as my eldest sister after their mother passed away and was buried. Doctor Hong used acupuncture according to the method Mr. Xiao said, and it was unexpectedly so effective. My eldest sister woke up in less than half a cup of tea.”
“Everyone in the family is very worried about the eldest sister. Grandmother has been guarding here for two days and one night. She was just persuaded to go back by the eldest aunt.” Bai Jinxiu whispered to Bai Qingyan and smiled, “Little Five, Little Six, and Little Seven also left just now because they couldn’t stand it anymore. They knew that the eldest sister would wake up, so they would definitely stay here!”
Doctor Hong checked Bai Qingyan’s pulse and let out a long sigh: “It’s fine! It’s fine! It’s safe! You will be fine in two days. Eat light food these days. I will write some medicinal dishes…”
“Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Hong!” Chuntao hurriedly opened a bead curtain for Doctor Hong to come out of the inner room and write a prescription.
After Chuntao helped Bai Qingyan wash up and eat some porridge, she gradually regained her strength.
Everyone in the mansion heard the news that Bai Qingyan had woken up. First the Grand Princess and then several aunts and sisters came to see her, and only then did they feel relieved.
Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jintong, Bai Jinzhi, and Bai Qingyan sat around the fire and talked about the future.
“Now that Prince Liang’s case is involved in the Southern Xinjiang Grain Draft, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion is definitely involved. The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is dead… Qin Lang has returned to the Marquis’ Mansion. I plan to send my grandmother to the Royal Nunnery on the 15th and then return to the Marquis’ Mansion!” Bai Jinxiu said slowly, “Qin Lang and I are husband and wife. The funeral of the Bai family is over, and it’s time to prepare for the funeral of the Marquis’ Mansion.”
Bai Qingyan’s face was pale and bloodless. He lowered his eyes and picked up the warm teacup beside him to warm his hands. He said in a low voice: “If you can bear it, go back to the mansion today. If you delay for too long… others will inevitably talk about you.”
Bai Jinxiu looked at her elder sister, and she heard her elder sister slowly say, “The government is in chaos and has no leader. It is the right time for you to take charge and control the situation. You can seize power and people’s hearts! I know how filial you are to your grandmother. Your grandmother is in the Royal Qing Temple… There is a long way to go.”
Bai Jinxiu had not thought about this. She had originally planned to go back after the Bai family’s funeral on the tenth day of the first lunar month. However, her eldest sister suddenly had a high fever and passed out, so she stayed for two more days.
Since it has come to this day, she wanted to stay for two more days to see her grandmother and third sister off before leaving.
“Yes!” Bai Jinxiu nodded, “Knowing that my elder sister is fine, I can rest assured! I have packed my things and will leave immediately. Yin Shuang will stay in the mansion for the time being. I will pick her up after everything is ready at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s mansion.”
After saying that, Bai Jinxiu stood up and saluted.
