The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 337: will make it crazy
Chapter 337 Must Make Him Crazy
Nanny Tong bowed to Bai Qingyan with an excited expression and left in a hurry.
Chuntao felt very encouraged when she heard her eldest daughter’s words. She clenched her fists and her eyes became red.
“With a clan like this, it’s better to take this opportunity to break away!” Dong gritted her teeth in anger, “Why didn’t you say that the clan’s shameless things tarnished your reputation when you came back?”
“I knew that mother would be so angry, so Abao didn’t say anything.” She smiled and stroked Dong’s arm. “When God wants someone to die, he will make him mad. The fortune of the clan will end. Mother, don’t worry. This matter… Abao will handle it properly. But if mother gets angry because of this, it will be a loss.”
“I can ignore the clan’s allegation that I have an affair with the Crown Prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to take it to heart. If this gets to the Emperor’s ears, he will doubt the Crown Prince’s intention to win me over, and the Crown Prince will have to make a statement even if it’s just to clear his name. By then… without me, the Princess Guardian, standing behind the Bai Clan, no one will be able to protect the Shuoyang Bai Clan.”
Mrs. Dong felt a little better after hearing her daughter say this.
“I must tell your grandmother about this matter, so that I can get a confirmed answer from your grandmother. If it really comes to the point where I have to report to our ancestors and expel the women of the Bai family from the clan, your grandmother’s consent must be obtained.” Dong squeezed her daughter’s hand. She had already made up her mind. She no longer wanted to get involved with these greedy clan members.
Bai Qingyan nodded.
Bai Jinxiu was still waiting for her in Qinghui Courtyard. After parting with her mother, Bai Qingyan and Chuntao returned to Qinghui Courtyard.
Unexpectedly, I saw my seventh sister Bai Jinse and Miss Lu coming towards me on the road.
“These past few days, I heard from the maids and wives in the mansion that the Seventh Miss is often with this Miss Lu, and they seem to get along very well.” Chuntao lowered her voice and said to Bai Qingyan.
The veiled Miss Lu saw Bai Qingyan first and calmly stopped to salute: “Princess.”
Bai Jinse looked at Bai Qingyan and smiled, with a bit of joy and nervousness in her eyes. She bowed: “Elder sister…”
“Miss Lu, there’s no need to be so polite. Are you going to your grandmother’s place?” Bai Qingyan asked.
“That’s right…” Miss Lu glanced at the seventh Miss Bai Jinse with a faint smile, “Then I will go to Changshouyuan first.”
Bai Jinse bowed to Miss Lu.
After watching Miss Lu leave, Bai Qingyan looked at the seventh sister Bai Jinse, who had her back straight, and asked with a smile, “What bad things have you done to make you so nervous when seeing your eldest sister?”
Bai Jinse’s ears turned red, and she trotted to Bai Qingyan and looked at Chuntao. Her meaning was clear… she wanted Chuntao to get out of the way.
Chuntao was very tactful and bowed to Bai Jinse before stepping aside.
“Eldest sister!” Bai Jinse bowed to Bai Qingyan, “Xiaoqi has something to ask of you.”
“Is it related to Miss Lu?” Bai Qingyan smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Although this Miss Lu is useful, if someone wants to take advantage of her sister, she will never let him go easily.
“Yes…” Bai Jinse answered calmly. She stood up and looked at Bai Qingyan with a pair of black and white pupils with a serious expression, “Eldest sister, I want to stay in the capital and learn medical skills from Miss Lu.”
She walked up to Bai Jinse, took her hand, and led her forward while asking softly, “Why do you want to learn medicine from Miss Lu? When Doctor Hong comes back from his travels, wouldn’t it be good to learn medicine from him?”
Bai Jinse half lowered her eyebrows and stared at the hem of her moonlit skirt that swayed as she walked: “I originally wanted to travel and study with Doctor Hong, but my mother didn’t agree.”
So, Bai Jinse had to settle for the second best and chose Miss Lu who was a medical practitioner.
“You want to go with Doctor Hong?” Bai Qingyan was quite surprised.
Bai Jinse shook her head and mustered up a lot of courage and said, “Eldest sister, I don’t want to be a useless person, nor do I want to be treated as an ignorant child. It’s very hard for me to support this family, and Xiaoqi also wants to do something for this family! Xiaoqi knows what you are afraid of… You are afraid that Xiaoqi will be taken advantage of by Miss Lu because he is too young.”
She stared at her younger sister deeply without saying a word.
“Eldest sister, Miss Lu is Grandmother’s chess piece. Xiao Qi can see it.” Bai Jinse has never concealed her precocity in front of her elder sister Bai Qingyan. “This chess piece may be of great use to the Bai family one day in the future. Xiao Qi is still young… It’s just right for her to stay with Miss Lu… She won’t be on guard.”
Bai Qingyan’s heart skipped a beat, and he pulled Bai Jinse towards the pavilion. “So, you asked your mother to let you travel with Doctor Hong so that you could stay in Dadu and learn medicine from Miss Lu as a second choice? But how can you be sure that your mother will leave you in Dadu?”
“I originally thought that my grandmother was there in Dadu. If my grandmother agreed, my mother would definitely let me stay in Dadu! Later… I was afraid that my grandmother would not let me stay.” Bai Jinse’s palms were covered with sweat.
This was the first time that Bai Jinse used her intelligence to plan something, so it was inevitable that she felt nervous.
“So, you come to confess to your eldest sister?” Bai Qingyan looked at the youngest sister who was the first to grow up among the children of the Bai family after experiencing a great disaster, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings for a moment.
Bai Jinse nodded.
She pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the sticky sweat stains from Bai Jinse’s palms: “In fact, you should go to your grandmother to confess this matter instead of going to your eldest sister first.”
She took Bai Jinse to sit in the pavilion and patiently advised Bai Jinse: “Shoot the horse first when shooting a person, capture the leader first when capturing a thief. Going straight to the point is the fastest and easiest way to achieve your goal. There is no need to take too many detours. Grandmother is the key to whether you can stay in Dadu, so you should tell her what you think and want. There are only two possible results. One… Grandmother agrees, and the other… Grandmother does not agree.”
“It would be best if Grandmother agrees. If not, you can come to my elder sister and persuade her! Otherwise, if you tell her today and she thinks you are too young to agree, she will definitely bring it up with Grandmother first. If she clearly disagrees, even if Grandmother wants to keep you… she will have to consider family harmony first, and you will have no way out.”
“If you go to Grandmother first and she doesn’t allow you to go, then your eldest sister will be your escape route. If Grandmother agrees, she will let you stay by her side to serve her. Filial piety comes first, so who can say no?”
Bai Jinse looked at Bai Qingyan with shining eyes and nodded vigorously.
“In the future, if you have a goal in mind, think clearly about the result you want, find the key, and after making a plan… think carefully about the two consequences of success and failure. If it fails… you must have a way to turn the tide, or a back-up plan. Remember, to be safe, you must avoid unnecessary complications, so as not to deviate too far from your original expectations.”
