The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 886 Assistance
He had been serving the Crown Prince since he was a child. Even when the Crown Prince was still the unpopular Prince of Qi, he was still the most favored eunuch around the prince. Apart from his master… there were few people who could make Quan Yu abandon his dignity and kneel down to beg.
Later, the King of Qi was named the Crown Prince, and Quan Yu’s status also rose. There were many people around Quan Yu who fawned on him, even his master… He never bowed to anyone again.
This was the first time in all these years that Quan Yu threw away his dignity and knelt down to beg a guard.
The guard of the Bai family couldn’t bear to see Quanyu like this. He had seen Quanyu many times. Quanyu had always been caring towards the eldest girl and the fourth girl. He was not as servile as other servants. His concern and worry came from the bottom of his heart. He still remembered that when the eldest girl was injured, this eunuch Quanyu was more worried than the prince.
Upon hearing that there was trouble outside the mansion, Bai Jinse came out to take a look, wanting to see who was trying to kill himself. But as soon as she came out, she saw Quan Yu, the eunuch beside the prince.
The Shuoyang Bai family soldiers guarding the gate of the Bai Mansion wanted to salute, but Bai Jinse raised her hand to stop them.
Hearing the Bai family guards whispering to Quan Yu to go back first, saying that their eldest daughter really didn’t have time to see him now, and she hadn’t even had a rest since she came back, and they, the guards, really couldn’t bear to disturb her.
Bai Jinse turned her head and whispered, “Be polite to that eunuch and persuade him to leave. Don’t use force.”
The Shuoyang Bai family army’s squad leader clasped his fists in agreement.
Bai Jinse took a deep look at Quan Yu who was still crying and begging outside the Bai Mansion, then turned around and went back to the Bai Mansion.
Quan Yu was the most favored eunuch around the Crown Prince of the Jin Dynasty. Logically speaking… when a new dynasty comes, such a eunuch should not be allowed to stay. However, Quan Yu did not harm the Bai family when he was around the deposed Crown Prince. Instead, he helped the eldest sister.
However, Quan Yu’s identity was awkward. He firmly believed that his elder sister wanted the throne because she thought the crown prince was dead. Even if he really let him meet his elder sister, the answer he would get would be different from what he thought. So why bother?
Bai Jinse brought a cup of yogurt in a small silver cup. As soon as she opened the curtain and entered Qinghui Courtyard, she saw Nanny Jiang kneeling beside a few baskets of memorials, crying to Bai Qingyan. She placed the yogurt and the small silver spoon next to Bai Qingyan’s hands and quietly stepped aside.
Nanny Jiang’s voice was choked with sobs. Bai Qingyan asked Zhenming and Zhenguang to help Nanny Jiang up several times, but Nanny Jiang refused.
Nanny Jiang knelt forward, looked at Bai Qingyan, and said slowly and sadly: “Big sister, the eldest princess has done a lot of hard work, please don’t blame her. She is your grandmother, but she is also the eldest princess of Jin… The eldest princess was raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child. How could she not care about the country and the people that her father entrusted her to protect? Please don’t blame the eldest princess!”
“Madam, you want me to kneel with you like this?” Bai Qingyan put down her pen and asked Madam Jiang.
Bai Jinse stepped forward to help Nanny Jiang up: “Mammy… please stand up! If you keep kneeling like this, I will really kneel down with you…”
After hearing what Bai Jinse said, Nanny Jiang stood up with tears in her eyes, holding Zhenming’s hand, and looked at Bai Qingyan with tears in her eyes: “Big sister…”
“Mammy, I know why grandma left with Prince Liang. Whether grandma wants to fight hard and use her to preserve the Lin family’s imperial power, or if I rebel against the Lin family’s imperial power and ascend the throne, it will teach me a lesson about how to become an emperor, I will save grandma because she is my grandmother.” Bai Qingyan said softly to Mammy Jiang, “And Prince Liang still wants to use grandma to threaten me, so he will definitely not hurt grandma in the slightest. Mammy Jiang, you can rest assured.”
Nanny Jiang nodded. Seeing the bruises under Bai Qingyan’s eyes, she couldn’t help but worry about Bai Qingyan’s health. She clutched the clothes at her side and asked in a low voice: “When the eldest lady was fighting in Daliang, the imperial physician sent back news that the eldest lady was not in good health. I wonder if she is better now?”
Nanny Jiang still remembered that when the Bai family suffered a great funeral, she was only concerned with persuading Bai Qingyan to let go of the evil creature that the Second Master had given birth to outside, and was only concerned with telling Bai Qingyan about how miserable the eldest princess was, but she completely ignored what Bai Jinxiu said when Bai Qingyan was hit on the drum for knocking on the news…
Bai Qingyan was raised by Nanny Jiang from the time he was as old as a kitten. He was the kind of person who would never say a word when he was hurt or in pain. She had so many heart-wrenching things during that time, and if Bai Qingyan didn’t say anything… she would really think that Bai Qingyan was indestructible.
“Madam, don’t worry. Doctor Hong will be with us all the time.” Bai Qingyan whispered to Madam Jiang, and then instructed, “Madam, go back and have a rest. When grandma comes back, you will need her to take care of her. Please take care of yourself.”
Nanny Jiang looked at Bai Qingyan with her red eyes and nodded: “Big sister should also rest early!”
As soon as Nanny Jiang left, Bai Jinse replaced Bai Qingyan with a brighter lamp.
There was an extra lamp, and the area in front of the couch and small table was lit up.
Bai Qingyan dipped the pen in cinnabar and made comments on the memorial. When he looked up, he saw Bai Jinse standing next to the high table made of hollow carved agarwood beside the curtain, standing on tiptoe and picking the candle wick with a silver needle.
“Your second sister still hasn’t sent back any news?” Bai Qingyan pinched his eyebrows and asked Bai Jinse.
Bai Jinse shook her head and then comforted Bai Qingyan, “Don’t worry too much, elder sister. Just as elder sister and Nanny Jiang said, King Liang held grandma hostage… in order to use grandma to threaten elder sister, and he will definitely not hurt grandma’s life.”
Seeing Bai Qingyan nod, Bai Jinse sat down next to Bai Qingyan: “Eldest sister asked the officials to take a day off tomorrow, so you should take a break too!”
“After reading these memorials…” Bai Qingyan looked up at Bai Jinse’s bandaged hands, raised his hand and touched Bai Jinse’s head, “Go and rest!”
Bai Jinse wanted to stay with her elder sister, but she knew that if she told her elder sister, she would send her to bed on the pretext that she still needed to grow. So she sorted out the annotated memorials for Bai Qingyan and said, “Just now, Quan Yu, the eunuch who was with the deposed crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, came to the door of our Bai Mansion and shouted that he wanted to see my elder sister. I went to see… our guards were persuading Quan Yu to go back.”
Bai Qingyan paused while dipping her hand in cinnabar. She remembered that when Xiaosi was investigating the case of adulterating military rations with sand, Quanyu had reminded Xiaosi of something. She also thought of Quanyu’s many subtle assistances… to the point that Xiaosi had mistakenly thought Quanyu was a secret agent she had arranged.
She did not raise her head, but continued to write down the memorial with cinnabar, her voice calm, “Ask Zhenming to go to the door and see if Quanyu is still there. If he is… bring him in.”
Bai Jinse nodded, pulled out the curtain and went out to instruct Zhenming who was guarding outside the yard.
Soon, Quan Yu was led by Zhen Ming into the main gate of Qinghui Courtyard.
