The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 936: farewell to grandma
Chapter 936 Farewell to Grandmother
Dong, dressed in mourning clothes with tears in her eyes, followed behind, supported by her sisters-in-law, and walked slowly forward.
No matter what, there is no doubt that the Grand Princess is a good mother-in-law.
The eldest princess never let her daughters-in-law set rules in front of her, because their husbands were always away fighting. As soon as they came back, their fathers-in-law would give women to their sons, hoping that their sons could take advantage of the time at home to have more children for the Bai family and more capable generals for the State of Jin.
Later, it was the eldest princess who stopped him, and the father-in-law finally realized his mistake… He personally called his daughters-in-law to his side to apologize solemnly, admitting that he was inconsiderate and had hurt their feelings. His sons also blamed him as a father.
He was fully focused on laying the foundation for Jin’s future unification of the world. The noble families were unwilling to let their children go to the battlefield, and the same was true for the clan members. The father-in-law could only find a way through his own family.
He was a man who could not understand women most of the time. He thought that as long as he did not allow illegitimate sons and daughters to meet their biological mother and confined concubines to a small courtyard for their entire lives and were not allowed to go out, he would not be able to make his daughter-in-law sad. However, he forgot that the more affectionate a couple is, the less willing the wife would be to share her husband with others.
Afterwards, King Zhenguo never gave concubines to his sons again.
When the ladies and family members of the Bai family heard about this, they all praised the eldest princess as a good mother-in-law.
Dong didn’t dare to say that the Grand Princess treated them, her daughters-in-law, like her own daughters, but she would definitely not cause trouble for them.
When she gave birth to Abao, her first child, Dong’s wet nurse was worried, fearing that the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion would dislike Dong for giving birth to a daughter. But… the eldest princess and the Duke of Zhenguo personally gave Abao the nickname, using the character “Qing” which is the character used in the Bai family to name boys. They held a three-day banquet and doted on Abao. Even Aluo and Aqiong, who were born right after Abao, could not surpass Abao.
Therefore, everyone in the capital city knows that the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo… is a truly favored daughter of heaven who is held in the palm of the hands of the Grand Princess and the King of Zhenguo.
Looking around the capital city, which mother-in-law or father-in-law can be like the Grand Princess and the King of Zhenguo and not look down on their own daughters?
No matter how untimely her mother-in-law passed away, Dong was still more grateful to the Grand Princess.
It drizzled all night last night, the long street is not dry yet, and the air is damp.
The tiles of the double-eaved buildings on both sides of the long street in Dadu were washed to a shiny black color, and the red street lights hanging on the eaves, which had not yet been extinguished, swayed back and forth in the wet wind.
Paper money was floating all over the sky, and when it fell to the ground, it was soaked by mud and water, and its color could not be seen.
Bai Qingjue, dressed in mourning clothes, walked in front, holding the tablet of the Grand Princess in his arms, with a sad face and red eyes.
The loyal servants and relatives who followed behind the golden nanmu coffin supported each other and cried bitterly, especially Fang, who almost leaned on Pu Liu and cried more sadly than the other ladies of the Bai family, as if she was heartbroken.
Pu Liu could faintly hear the onlookers discussing and speculating about Fang’s identity, but she did not speak to persuade them.
Last night…both Bai Qihe and Pu Liu had told Fang everything they needed to say. Fang had only seen the Grand Princess from afar a few times and didn’t really have deep feelings for her. Yet she had to choose this moment to act as if she was in agony. It was so fake.
Knowing that Fang would not listen to his advice, Pu Liu said nothing more.
Bai Qingyu, wearing a mask, was standing in the Zheliu Pavilion outside the city. He had been waiting here almost all night. His black cloak and tied black hair were covered with a thin layer of mist.
“Master, here I come…” Wang Dong, dressed in white, limped and hurried into the Zheliu Pavilion and said to Bai Qingyu, “Master! Here I come!”
Soon, Bai Qingyu saw a funeral procession as long as a dragon slowly walking out of the city gate. He saw the loyal servant of the Bai family… saw Bai Qingjue holding his grandmother’s coffin, saw his grandmother’s coffin, saw his mother who straightened her back and supported his second aunt, and saw… the aunts with tears in their eyes.
Bai Qingyu was wearing mourning clothes under his black cloak. He knelt down in the direction of the funeral procession, kowtowed heavily with his head on the ground.
He cannot go home like Ajue now. The land of Rongdi… must be firmly controlled in his hands, making Rongdi the racecourse of their Great Zhou Kingdom!
So, he could only be unfilial and kowtow to his grandmother here… and bid farewell to her!
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the funeral procession, and whispered, “Grandmother, mother… the fifth son of the Bai family, Bai Qingyu is back! I will tell you about the safe return of Ah Yu…after the Great Zhou Dynasty unifies the world.”
Wang Dong also knelt down behind Bai Qingyu with red eyes and kowtowed heavily. He knew how sad his master was. He came to see off the Grand Princess and could only wear mourning clothes under the black cloak for fear of being discovered… His master didn’t even bring Apuru.
The damp wind swept across Dong’s cheek. She almost subconsciously turned her head to look at the Zheliu Pavilion on the high slope, only to see a vague figure jumping on a horse and galloping away.
Dong paused in her tracks, and Fang, who was crying incessantly, bumped into her with her head down. Dong then frowned and slowly moved forward, supporting her second brother’s wife, Liu, who was also crying.
Dong’s eyes were swollen and she felt a little confused. She didn’t know if it was her illusion. She seemed to have seen Ayu just now.

When Bai Qingyan woke up, it was already dark…
Hearing the movement in the bed curtain, Chun Tao hurriedly ran over, raised her hand to open the aquamarine bed curtain, and hung it on the gilded copper hook. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she knelt on the cypress footstool beside Bai Qingyan’s bed, choking with sobs: “Miss! Miss, you are awake!”
Lu Ninghua also came in around the screen. Chuntao hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve, stood up and made room for the bed, allowing Lu Ninghua to take Bai Qingyan’s pulse.
Doctor Hong, who was waiting in the side room, heard the voice, put down his teacup, and tapped Yin Shuang on the head while she was counting the cloud cakes: “Carry the medicine box! The eldest girl is awake!”
Upon hearing this, Yin Shuang quickly wrapped the cloud cake in brown paper, stuffed it into her arms, and trotted behind Doctor Hong, carrying Doctor Hong’s medicine box on her back.
Nanny Tong, who was about to go to the side room to ask for Doctor Hong, saw Doctor Hong coming over as soon as she stepped out of the door. She hurriedly opened the curtain and said, “Miss Lu is checking the pulse of the eldest lady.”
Doctor Hong nodded and hurried into the main room.
When Lu Ninghua saw Doctor Hong coming over, she moved away from the bed…
Unexpectedly, Yin Shuang ran faster than Doctor Hong, squeezed in front of Bai Qingyan, took out the cloud cake in her arms and placed it on the bedside of Bai Qingyan, saying: “Miss…eat!”
Yin Shuang had been following Doctor Hong. Knowing that Bai Qingyan had slept for so long and hadn’t eaten anything, she was worried that Bai Qingyan might be hungry…
Second update, continue to ask for monthly tickets…
