The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 334: elegant demeanor
Chapter 334 Style
As he spoke, the prince patted Xiao Rongyan on the shoulder.
Bai Qingyan also returned the sword in his hand to Murong Li: “Thank you, Your Highness.”
Murong Li’s ears turned red. He took the sword, put it into the sheath, and pressed the hilt hard. This was the sword used by General Bai of the Bai family army…his future aunt!
“You are too polite, Princess Zhenguo.” Murong Li looked at Bai Qingyan with a smile and said, “It is a great honor to be able to see the style of the young commander of the Bai family army!”
The news that Princess Xiliang, Li Tianfu, wanted to kill Princess Zhenguo at the wedding banquet spread like wildfire throughout the capital city within half an hour.
Bai Jinxiu, who had not been to the Prince’s Mansion today, could not sit still when she heard about this. She immediately asked someone to harness a carriage and take Yin Shuang back to the Zhenguo Princess’ Mansion.
When Bai Jinxiu arrived, Bai Qingyan was still taking a bath.
Bai Jinxiu heard from the servants of the Bai Mansion that Bai Qingyan was covered in blood when he came back, and her heart was in her throat.
It was not until Bai Qingyan came out of the shower that Bai Jinxiu took Bai Qingyan and looked at her again and again to make sure that her elder sister was not injured that she breathed a sigh of relief.
When Bai Jinxiu arrived, the emperor had already issued an edict… asking King Yan of Xiliang to bring their princess back to Xiliang tomorrow and give an explanation to the State of Jin.
“When I came back just now, my grandmother, mother and aunts also pulled me to look at them again and again. Are you still not at ease?” Bai Qingyan asked Bai Jinxiu to sit down.
“Second Miss, have a cup of red date tea to calm your nerves!” Chuntao served Bai Jinxiu a cup of tea.
Bai Jinxiu’s eyes were still red as she took the teacup brought by Chuntao and took a sip: “Why did my elder sister go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion?”
“I received news that Li Tianfu was going to assassinate the prince, so I went to tell him.” Bai Qingyan didn’t take it to heart at all, and motioned to Chuntao, “Go and get the things.”
Chuntao nodded, took out a black wooden box from Bai Qingyan’s bookshelf, placed it on the small chicken-wing wood table, then left with the maid and stood guard at the door herself.
“What is this?” Bai Jinxiu put down the teacup, opened the black box, saw that it was full of letters, and took them out to have a look.
“This… is Li Mao’s leverage!” Bai Qingyan picked up the teacup and blew a breath into it slowly. “We will be returning to Shuoyang at the beginning of next month. This thing will be more useful in your hands than in mine.”
Bai Jinxiu took a quick look, her pupils widened, and she quickly scanned a few letters: “Is this written by Li Mao himself?”
“Grandma said yes, so it must be.” Bai Qingyan turned to look at Bai Jinxiu, “The leverage in the hands of Wen Zhenkang’s wife is probably the missing letter, and it has probably been handed over to Li Mao, using it to threaten Li Mao to save Wen Zhenkang’s life! We don’t need to intervene in this matter, you send someone to keep a close eye on the Zuo Xiangfu, as long as Li Mao saves Wen Zhenkang, he will reveal his flaws, and it will be another leverage!”
“Does my elder sister mean to let Li Mao take the position of Left Prime Minister?” Bai Jinxiu asked.
The eldest sister was talking about the handle, she did not say that she could use it to bring down Li Mao.
“Right now we don’t have anyone of our own in the court. Rather than letting someone else take the position, we’d better let Li Mao, who has the leverage in our hands, sit in this position.” She stared at the rising and falling tea leaves in the teacup, and raised the corners of her lips. “When we have someone to cooperate with, we will pull Li Mao down and make room for him! You have to pay careful attention to this candidate.”
She raised her hand to hold the black box, and said to Bai Jinxiu with a smile: “What you have in your hand now… is the position of the left prime minister.”
Bai Jinxiu nodded: “I understand.”
Chuntao was talking to Yinshuang outside. Yinshuang took off the purse from her waist and handed it to Chuntao. It was full of pine nut candies.
Chun Tao picked up one and put it in her mouth, then tied the purse back to Yin Shuang’s waist: “Sister, eat one, and keep the others. Don’t put them in your arms again in the future. If they melt, they will stain your clothes!”
Yin Shuang smiled innocently and nodded. Ru Chuntao said, “Hello, Second Miss. Give Yin Shuang some candy!”
Chuntao touched Yinshuang’s head and said, “Why do you love eating candy so much? Aren’t you afraid of damaging your teeth?”
“Don’t be afraid!” Yin Shuang smiled with her eyes curved, “Mom said that when I miss my parents, I should eat candy! When I left with Sister Qingzhu… Mom gave me candy!”
When Chuntao heard this, she felt a sudden pain in her nose.
She thought Yin Shuang was greedy, so she liked to eat candy…
It turned out that Yinshuang was missing her family.
Chuntao remembered that Yinshuang was brought into the mansion by Miss Shen Qingzhu, who said that the child ate a lot and had a lot of strength, so the family couldn’t afford to raise her, so they sold her to Shen Qingzhu.
Fortunately, Yin Shuang met Miss Shen Qingzhu, otherwise she wouldn’t know what would happen now.
“Little girl Yinshuang is back!”
As soon as Nanny Tong and Nanny Qin entered the room, they saw Yinshuang, with a kind smile on her face.
“Madame Qin, Madame Tong!” Chuntao bowed with a smile.
“Godmother!” Yinshuang stood up and pulled off the purse Chuntao had just tied around her waist, “Have some candy!”
Tong Mama raised her hand and tapped Yin Shuang’s head: “I’ll make you something delicious later, you and Sister Chuntao wait here!”
As she spoke, Nanny Tong reported outside the door and got Bai Qingyan’s permission to come in. She opened the curtain and went in with Nanny Qin.
Nanny Qin smiled and said to Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu, “Eldest Miss, Second Miss…someone from the Shuoyang clan is here.”
“Here we go again?!” Bai Jinxiu frowned.
“This time the clan leader came in person, bringing the title deed of our ancestral home, saying he was here to return the title deed. In addition, the fifth master has also moved out of the ancestral home.” Nanny Qin’s face was filled with joy.
As expected, Bai Qingyan was not too surprised: “Are you calling me over to meet you?”
“That’s right. The clan leader said he would personally hand the house deed to the princess.” Nanny Qin covered her lips with a handkerchief and laughed, “It can be seen that our eldest daughter scared the clan leader a lot when she went back this time.”
She smiled, put down the teacup, stood up and stroked her skirt: “Madame Tong, comb my hair and change my clothes, and go see the clan leader.”
Nanny Tong tied Bai Qingyan’s hair into a loose bun, picked out a very plain yet luxurious dress for her, and after changing her clothes and doing her makeup, she went to the front hall.
On the way, she heard Nanny Qin say that many people from the clan came this time, including the clan leader and several respected elders.
She guessed that the clan leader probably wanted to team up with the clan elders to force her to… rescue the Bai family descendants who were doing evil in Shuoyang.
From what Nanny Qin said, she thought that the clan leader had not yet told her mother about the arrest of the clan member, but only said that he would personally hand the house deed to her to clear up the misunderstanding.
When Bai Qingyan arrived at the front hall, the clan leader had indeed learned his lesson this time and stood up and saluted Bai Qingyan: “Princess.”
Bai Qingyan walked to Dong’s side with the shelf and sat down, then smiled and said, “You are the elders, please sit down.”
The clan leader hurriedly took out the house deed and said, “I came here this time to give the princess the house deed of her ancestral home. Last time in Shuoyang, the princess might have something urgent to do and left before she could finish talking to me, so I made a special trip to deliver it to you!”
The third update is finished, I’m begging for your monthly votes, my dear ancestors!
