The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 257: Desire for a confidant
Chapter 257 Seeking a Confidant
Old Fang turned around and glanced at Qin Shangzhi, who was discussing with the people from the Prince’s Mansion how to accommodate the sacred deer in the distance. There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and he lowered his head and got on the carriage.
Lv Yuanpeng held the reins for Bai Qingyan and watched the sisters Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi climb onto their horses. He raised his head and said to Bai Qingyan loudly again: “Sister Bai! I will definitely join the army! Believe me!”
The people had already made way for them, looking at Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi on horseback with tears in their eyes.
Bai Qingyan smiled and nodded, pulled the reins, kicked the horse’s belly and galloped out.
Bai Jinzhi, who was on horseback, saluted to Lu Yuanpeng and kicked his horse to chase after his elder sister.
The prince is in the carriage.
“If you like a girl, you just send her a love letter? Send her a horse? But I think you are cautious… you are not such a rash person!” The prince asked Xiao Rongyan with a smile, “Or… are you all so direct in Wei?”
Xiao Rongyan lowered his eyes and smiled, knowing that the prince was referring to the battlefield in Southern Frontier and asked Yue Shi to deliver a letter and a horse to Bai Qingyan. He did not ask Yue Shi to hide it at the beginning, so it was natural for the prince to know.
“Bai Qingyan’s foster brother came to see you later…did he say anything unpleasant?” the prince asked again.
Although Xiao Rongyan vaguely knew that the prince probably regarded his sending the letter and horse to Bai Qingyan as a romantic affair, he did not dare to be too sure, so he smiled and shook his head: “That’s not the case.”
“Don’t worry, you are my best friend. I know that your appearance and character are impeccable, except for your identity as a businessman… Although I don’t care, the secular world will inevitably look down on you! If you really like Miss Bai and are willing to consider marrying into her family, I can help you with the matter. After all, the Bai family has no male heirs now, so it is inevitable to recruit a son-in-law to marry into the family! In this way… you are not unworthy of Miss Bai!”
The prince looked at Xiao Rongyan as if he were looking at his future money bag, so he naturally wanted to do his best to make this good thing happen.
It seems… Miss Bai has become the prince’s disciple. Xiao Rongyan stroked Yu Chan with his fingers and smiled at the prince. However… Miss Bai’s mind is not ordinary. Can she really be loyal to this hypocritical and suspicious prince?
“Yan, you dared to send a letter and a horse to Miss Bai. You must have known the situation of the Bai family. Otherwise, how dare a mere businessman dream of marrying the eldest lady of the Bai family!”
The prince showed his delight. This was what he liked most about Xiao Rongyan: he never looked down on himself and was knowledgeable and interesting…
After all, Xiao Rongyan was the first close friend the prince had made in recent years. The prince pursed his lips and said, “There is one more thing you need to think about clearly. Miss Bai has little luck with heirs. If she marries into the family…she will definitely be blocked from taking a concubine in the future.”
The prince’s words were really from Xiao Rongyan’s perspective, but Xiao Rongyan smiled and said, “If I can marry Miss Bai, it doesn’t matter if I don’t have much luck with having children. I can just adopt one! In the end, it’s still husband and wife who can accompany each other for life, so when choosing a wife, Yan pays more attention to whether the two can know each other for a lifetime. He wants to find a confidant, not… for the sake of inheriting children.”
This surprised the prince: “Rong Yan’s idea… is something I have never heard of!”
Who in the world doesn’t get married for the sake of having offspring? Xiao Rongyan actually doesn’t care about offspring…
But what Xiao Rongyan said was not without reason.
Ultimately, it is his wife who can accompany a man throughout his life, but which man has only one wife? Any man with a little power will have three or four wives and concubines. How can a wife who has shared his hardships with him be as lovely as a fresh, tender, young and beautiful concubine?
Seekers of self-knowledge…
The prince smiled and looked at Xiao Rongyan: “Rongyan’s remarks always surprise me.”
“Yan is different from His Highness. Yan is just a businessman who seeks a life of wealth and glory and an interesting life! But the Crown Prince is responsible for the Jin Kingdom, so he naturally needs many offspring to continue the Great Jin Kingdom!”
Xiao Rongyan’s words made the prince happy. He patted Xiao Rongyan’s hand and said, “Next time, don’t be reckless… It will be more troublesome if you offend Miss Bai! Tell me everything, and I will definitely make the decision for you! I wish I could keep you in Jin State so that I can have someone to talk to!”
Xiao Rongyan’s smile became more gentle and elegant: “Yan will stay in the capital for a while, and we should not rush into important matters in our life. However, the Emperor of Great Yan will enter the capital tomorrow. His Majesty probably summoned you to the palace alone for this matter.”
The prince also guessed: “After the Great Yan Emperor conquered Southern Yan, his attitude towards Jin State became more respectful than before! You were in Southern Yan a while ago. Do you know how the battle between Great Yan and Southern Yan went? Is it really as rumored… that they won without fighting?”
Xiao Rongyan smiled and nodded. “Yan heard that there was a war in Southern Yan, so he went to do business in Southern Yan. Along the way, he saw that the people of Southern Yan lined the streets to welcome the Great Yan army. It was an unprecedented grand occasion! So this time, Yan made less money than he expected! But it was not a complete loss. Yan met the Great Yan emperor’s brother, the Ninth Prince, and got permission… to do some business in Kuangping. In addition… Yan found a rare thing in Kuangping, and brought it back to Your Highness. When Your Highness comes back from the palace, I will present it to Your Highness and congratulate Your Highness on his triumphant return to Southern Xinjiang.”
The prince’s eyes lit up. It was not that he was short-sighted and would covet a gift from a businessman, but every time Xiao Rongyan gave something, it was a rare and precious treasure that people could not let go.

Bai Mansion.
When Dong heard that the triumphant army had arrived at the South Gate and that His Majesty had ordered only the Crown Prince to enter the palace and that the other generals could return home to rest, she could no longer sit still at home and stood at the door with the Bai family, craning her neck to look into the distance, hoping to see her daughter.
The first to arrive were Bai Jinxiu, who was already pregnant, and Qin Lang. Qin Lang helped Bai Jinxiu get off the carriage. Lupin, Butler Hao, and other stewards, who were standing outside the mansion gate looking to the east, hurriedly saluted Bai Jinxiu and Qin Lang.
Second Madam Liu walked down the steps and supported her daughter: “You don’t have to come so early. Your mother will send someone to call you when your elder sister comes back!”
After Qin Lang paid his respects to the elders of the Bai family, he carefully helped Bai Jinxiu onto the stairs. All the whispered advice he gave to Bai Jinxiu was full of his love for her. Looking at Qin Lang now, Liu was at least a little satisfied.
“Second sister!” The fifth daughter of the Bai family squeezed in front of Bai Jinxiu, raised her hand and gently stroked Bai Jinxiu’s belly, “Second sister came back with the baby to welcome the eldest sister and the fourth sister!”
“Yes!” Bai Jinxiu chuckled and rubbed the fifth girl’s head gently.
Standing at the gate of the mansion, Lupin saw two horses galloping in the dazzling morning light. The two horses looked so heroic that he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes for a moment: “They’re back! They’re back! The eldest and fourth girls are back!”
Dong, who was supported by Nanny Qin, felt her palms tighten and she quickly took two steps forward.
