The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 408: clear
Chapter 408 Clear
This was the first time in Bai Jinzhi’s life that she had traveled far away alone, and she was going to the battlefield. She was afraid… but also excited.
She wanted to achieve great things and prove to her elder sister that she was also a worthy daughter of the Bai family. Even if she went to the battlefield alone, she would definitely bring glory to the Bai family.
Bai Jinzhi smiled at his mother Li, walked quickly down the steps and jumped onto the horse.
After Lu Ping saluted, he mounted his horse and looked in the direction of Bai Qingyan. Seeing Bai Qingyan nod to him… He nodded, squeezed his legs and pushed the horse’s belly, and followed Bai Jinzhi to gallop out of Shuoyang City.
“Xiao Si!” Third Madam Li cried out and ran down the stairs, “Be careful!”
Bai Jinzhi didn’t even look back. He raised the whip in his hand, waved it, and sped away.
Bai Qingyan stood outside the door, watching his fourth sister riding away on horseback, his fists clenched at his sides.
As soon as the imperial decree was issued, Bai Qingyan took advantage of Bai Jinzhi packing up and changing clothes to call Lupin over.
She instructed Lupin to send someone to Dadu before reaching the capital… and asked Bai Jinxiu to send half of his secret guards to follow Bai Jinzhi to Chunmu Mountain to protect Bai Jinzhi.
Bai Qingyan knew Bai Jinzhi’s character very well. Although the battle to save Bai Qingyun at Qiushan Pass made Bai Jinzhi realize for the first time the cruelty of the battlefield and left a shadow in her heart, and even now Bai Jinzhi still felt scared when she thought about it, but compared to making great achievements… this fear was not enough to deter Bai Jinzhi.
Just in case, Bai Qingyan needs to arrange enough people around Bai Jinzhi.
Soldiers may not be trained, but Bai Jinzhi’s safety… must not be neglected.
She would not allow any of the Bai family members who were still alive to get into trouble! Not even one of them!
“Third Aunt…” Bai Qingyan walked to the side of Third Madam Li and gently held Li’s hand, “With Uncle Ping and Shen Qingzhu following us, Xiao Si will be fine.”
The third wife, Mrs. Li, looked at Bai Qingyan and nodded with tears in her eyes.
The news that Bai Jinzhi set out for Chunmu Mountain because of an imperial edict quickly spread throughout Shuoyang City.
Clan leader Bai Qihe thought about the military training. Originally, Bai Qingyan said that Gaoyi County Lady Bai Jinzhi and a Bai Mansion guard would be responsible for it. Now Bai Jinzhi has been ordered to go to Chunmu Mountain, so Bai Qingyan has to decide who will be responsible for the military training.
Just after lunch, Bai Qihe sent someone to call his son Bai Qingping to go to the Bai Mansion with him.
When Fang heard this, she thought about it for a while. She looked at Bai Qihe who was rinsing her mouth and said, “Since we are going to see the Princess Zhenguo, why not bring our two daughters with us so that they can get close to the Princess Zhenguo and talk about sisterhood!”
The more Fang thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was reliable. She put down her chopsticks and said excitedly, “Didn’t the Gaoyi County Lady just get sent to Chunmu Mountain by His Majesty? The Zhenguo Princess is worried that Gaoyi County Lady must be in a bad mood. If our two daughters go there, maybe they can help the Zhenguo Princess relieve her mood. If our daughters become frequent visitors to the Bai Mansion in the future, when discussing marriage in the future… the matchmaker can also say that they are like sisters to the Zhenguo Princess, which sounds good, right?”
Bai Qihe covered his mouth with his sleeve, spit out the mouthwash, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and looked sideways at Fang, who was full of joy: “Do you think that the Princess Zhenguo is the kind of person who would talk about sisterhood with her own sisters? I understand your little thoughts, but you’d better put them away! Don’t treat the Princess Zhenguo as an ordinary girl. Even if you let the two children go to the Princess Zhenguo’s mansion, it is impossible for you to find out any news! Besides, the Princess Zhenguo is a person who doesn’t tolerate any injustice. If she knew that the two children were asking for news in the Duke Zhenguo’s mansion, I’m afraid our whole family would be embarrassed!”
Fang’s face lengthened when she heard what Bai Qihe said: “What do you mean by that? I just wanted my two daughters to go to the Zhenguo Princess’s Mansion to make friends with Bai Qingyan and find out what Bai Qingyan likes, so that I can find her a matchmaker! After all, she is our junior, and as an elder, isn’t it normal for me to care about her? Why do you say that I have bad intentions!”
“We won’t talk about it since Princess Zhenguo’s mourning period has not yet ended. Besides, don’t you know that Princess Zhenguo has vowed not to marry in her lifetime?” Bai Qihe frowned even more tightly.
“Yes! Of course I know!” Fang clapped her hands, “So I, as an aunt, have to worry about it! Although she is not getting married…but the Princess of Zhenguo can marry a son-in-law! You see…the Bai family in Dadu is full of daughters! Is it the right way to marry a son-in-law to continue the bloodline of the Bai family?”
After hearing what Fang said, Bai Qihe seemed to think there was some truth in it.
The Dadu Bai family is the orthodox bloodline of the Bai family. The fifth wife, Qi, only gave birth to a daughter. If she does not marry into the family, then this branch of the Dadu Bai family will be extinct.
Or was it adopted from a side branch?
But judging from Princess Zhenguo’s attitude, I’m afraid she won’t accept adopting a child from a side branch.
Bai Qihe knew clearly that the Princess Zhenguo had the final say in the Bai family in Dadu.
Seeing Bai Qihe’s thoughtful look, Fang’s eyes brightened. She moved closer to Bai Qihe and lowered her voice and said, “Look, my second brother’s second son from my mother’s family…”
Before Fang could finish her words, Bai Qihe glared at her with a pair of sharp eyes, which scared Fang.
Bai Qihe had always been gentle, and had never looked at her with such a horrifying look. Fang’s next words were stuck in her throat and she could not utter them. She just looked at Bai Qihe.
“Don’t you know what your second brother’s second son is?” Bai Qihe was suddenly furious. “There’s nothing wrong with you wanting to make money for your mother’s family, but don’t go too far!”
The second son of Fang’s second elder brother is a bastard who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He hangs out with prostitutes all day long and has no manners. Such a guy is not even worthy of marrying into the Bai family, let alone carrying shoes for the Princess Zhenguo. How dare Fang say that!
Fang twisted the handkerchief in her hand, her face was embarrassed, and she stiffened her neck to argue with Bai Qihe: “How can it be the same? That requires a good man to marry into the family. No matter what… he is my second brother’s legitimate son!”
“In that case, why don’t you go to your eldest sister’s family and act as a matchmaker to see if your eldest sister is willing to marry her biological daughter to your second brother’s second son!” Bai Qihe was really angry, but his handsome face still had no expression, only his tone was obviously annoyed.
Originally, I thought that Bai Qingyan had dealt with the clan cleanly and efficiently this time, and his wife Fang would definitely be able to see clearly that the Bai clan now needs to rely on the Princess Zhenguo and restrain their attitude. I didn’t expect that he would dare to plot against the Princess Zhenguo.
Fang’s face turned pale and red, she clutched her handkerchief tightly, and looked like she wanted to cry: “I’m doing this for you. If Bai Qingyan and my second brother’s second son become… "
