The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 892: wishful thinking
Chapter 892 Wishful Thinking
Bai Qingjue’s eyes were swollen and painful, and he slowly got off the horse. His throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn’t make a sound. He just stared at Bai Jinzhao running towards him, and quickly raised his hand to hug Bai Jinzhao in his arms.
“Seventh Brother! Seventh Brother, you’re back! Mother and we all thought that Seventh Brother was gone! Little Seventeen is gone… The marching record said that Seventh Brother was gone too. Mother didn’t even want to live anymore, and she just ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures all day long…”
Listening to his sister crying in his arms, he tightly grasped the reins with one hand and gently stroked his sister’s head with the other hand, apologizing softly: “It’s Seventh Brother’s fault. Seventh Brother came back late! I made you worry!”

Fang was sitting in the mansion drinking tea when she suddenly heard the news that Bai Qingjue had come back from the dead. She stood up in shock and said, “What did you say?! The seventh son of the Bai family?! The seventh son of the Bai family… is the legitimate son of the fourth master of the Bai family, Bai Qichuan, Bai Qingjue?!”
Pu Liu, who had come to report the news with a smile on her face, was startled by Fang’s reaction. She nodded and said, “That’s right! The master asked the mistress to open the warehouse and select and prepare gifts. He will personally deliver them to the Bai Mansion in the afternoon…”
After hearing this, Fang sat back on the couch: “The seventh son of the Bai family is back…”
“Madam?” Pu Liu saw that Fang’s face was pale, and thought that Fang was not feeling well, so he hurried forward and asked, “Madam, what’s wrong with you?”
“This… the seventh son of the Bai family is back, so… won’t the throne for me, Aping, have a chance to take place in the future?” Fang’s eyes suddenly turned red, and tears were about to fall. It was obvious that Aping and Bai Qingyan had such a close relationship. Even if Aping was not made emperor in the future, after Aping got married and had children, Bai Qingyan could still adopt him and become the emperor!
Ever since the news that Bai Qingyan was going to ascend the throne to become the emperor was received, the Fang family had been calculating and calculating in the clan, and they all felt that in the future…if Bai Qingyan passed on the throne, it would be to Bai Qingping. If he did not want to pass it on to Bai Qingping and wanted to choose a child in the clan to adopt, it should be the child of someone who was close to her, so in the end it should be Bai Qingping.
So a few days ago, Fang had sent someone back to talk to her brother about this matter, hoping that her brother would marry his legitimate daughter to Bai Qingping, so that they could get married and have children as soon as possible. As long as they had a boy… the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be her grandson in the future.
But now, Bai Qingjue is back. In terms of blood relationship and feelings… the relationship between the seventh son of the Bai family’s direct branch and Bai Qingyan must be stronger than the relationship between Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingping. Even if he is to be adopted… Bai Qingyan must be Bai Qingjue’s adopted child. What should they do?
If this is the case, then the throne that is right at hand… won’t it be lost?
After hearing what Fang said, Pu Liu opened his eyes wide and looked at Fang in disbelief: “Madam, even if the seventh son of the Bai family doesn’t come back, the throne has nothing to do with the young master!”
Where did these wishful thinking come from?
“What do you know! If we talk about who Bai Qingyan is closest to in the clan… it’s only my A Ping! At that time, she was helpless and could only rely on my A Ping, but now Bai Qingjue is back, and my A Ping has been kicked aside by her!”
“Madam!” Pu Liu exclaimed, “That’s His Majesty, how can you call him by his name!”
Fang felt upset, threw down her handkerchief and sobbed, “What’s wrong with me talking about it in my own home?”
Seeing Fang still crying with a wronged look on her face, Pu Liu stopped trying to persuade her and stood aside quietly without saying a word.
Bai Mansion.
When the fourth wife Wang heard the news that Bai Qingjue was back, she was surprised and happy and rushed to the front yard. She saw the first wife Dong, the third wife Li and the fifth wife Qi were all there. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and bowed to Dong: “I heard that Ajue is back, I… I…”
“Okay!” Dong patted Wang’s hand gently and helped her stand up. “Let’s go to the door to welcome the child!”
Wang nodded, tears flowing like broken strings, and walked to the gate of Bai Mansion with several other ladies, waiting for the man who had not returned for three years… the resurrected son of the Bai family, Bai Qingjue.
The news that Bai Qingjue, the seventh son of the Bai family, had returned soon spread throughout Shuoyang City. Upon hearing the news, the people of Shuoyang crowded in front of the Bai Mansion and waited with several Bai family ladies, wanting to see what the seventh son of the Bai family looked like.
The fourth wife, Mrs. Wang, kept stretching her neck to look into the distance, and suddenly heard people shouting, “They are coming! They are coming!”. Mrs. Wang hurriedly held up the hem of her skirt and took a step down the steps in front of the Bai Mansion. Sure enough, she saw three people riding on horses coming at the end of the long street illuminated by the bright sun.
One is Bai Jinzhao, one is Shen Kunyang… and the other is her son, Bai Qingjue.
As soon as Wang saw the outline of her son, she couldn’t hold back her tears. It was obviously a happy thing, but her heart…why was she so sad? She clutched her clothes tightly in front of her chest, and tears fell down.
When Bai Qingjue saw his mother and the people from the Bai family standing at the gate of the Bai Mansion, his eyes became sore and his vision blurred. He couldn’t help but speed up and rushed towards his mother… towards home.
Bai Qingjue, who was the first to arrive at the gate of Bai’s residence, reined in his horse and looked towards his mother and aunts. His throat felt sore and he threw away the reins and jumped off the horse. He took a few steps forward and knelt in front of the gate of Bai’s residence. He put his helmet aside and bowed solemnly. He tried hard to hold back his tears and choked up as he said in a loud voice, “The seventh son of the Bai family of the Youlong Cavalry Battalion… Bai Qingjue, come home safely.”
When Fourth Madam Wang heard that her son had returned home safely, she quickly ran down the high steps.
Bai Qingjue stood up straight, looked into his mother’s eyes, and finally couldn’t hold back his tears. He choked and called out, “Mother…”
Wang wanted to agree to her son’s request, but for some reason her heart felt as if it was being stabbed by a knife. She could only cry heart-wrenchingly. She hugged her son tightly, burst into tears, and knelt down with her son.
She held her son’s face in her sweaty hands, looked carefully at his tall and straight features that were becoming more and more like his husband’s, and stroked them over and over again…as if she was afraid that this was a dream.
She thought she would never hear her son call her mother again. She thought her husband failed to protect their children and left them all in southern Xinjiang…
“Mother…” Bai Qingjue raised his hand to wipe away his mother’s tears, “Son, I’m back! I’m back late…”
It is said that men do not shed tears easily, but after experiencing life and death and seeing his relatives again, Bai Qingjue could not help it. His nostrils flared and he could not hold back his tears.
Wang’s heart was broken. She hugged her son tightly in her arms and cried bitterly.
As much as she hated God in the past, she was now as grateful to God. She thanked God for returning Ajue to her!
Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Li, the third wife, and Mrs. Qi, the fifth wife, all stood at the door and wiped their tears with handkerchiefs. Mrs. Dong spoke first: “Alright! There’s no point in crying outside like this. The child has finally come back. Let’s go home first! Let’s talk inside!”
