Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress
Chapter 928 - 925: Forgiveness

Chapter 928: Chapter 925: Forgiveness

Zhenming was overjoyed, but her voice was tinged with a sobbing tone, her nostrils flaring, and tears streaming down like broken beads, her expression looking even more miserable than crying.

Who would have thought, the unexpected turn of events, the Seventh Young Master... actually returned safely, this was truly a piece of heavenly good news.

Bai Qingyan lifted her eyes, her tightly furrowed brow relaxed, and she slowly stood up, supporting herself on the desk: "Let’s go out and welcome them..."

She originally thought that her mother, aunts, and sisters would only arrive tomorrow, but unexpectedly, they returned today.

Seeing this, Zhenming hurriedly went forward to support Bai Qingyan. Seeing her own eldest lady’s pale complexion and the dark circles under her eyes, struggling to hold herself up, Zhenming felt extremely heartbroken.

Zhenming supported Bai Qingyan’s arms with both hands, looking up and softly saying, "Eldest Lady, Madam and the Young Masters just entered the city... why don’t you rest a bit first? Otherwise, your pale appearance will also make Madam, Young Masters, and Misses worried."

"Is my complexion very bad?" Bai Qingyan paused her steps and asked Zhenming softly.

Zhenming nodded with red eyes, "Eldest Lady, the dark circles are very prominent."

Having not seen her mother, aunts, sisters, and Ah Jue for a long time, Bai Qingyan didn’t want them to see her haggard appearance today, so she said to Zhenming, "Apply some powder to cover it."

Zhenming nodded in response, took the powder to cover Bai Qingyan’s dark circles. Only when she saw in the mirror that the dark circles were not as severe did she support Bai Qingyan’s hand to stand up from the bronze mirror and walk towards the front yard.

Bai Jinxiu had not yet reached the mourning hall when she saw Wang Geer, a small figure with a mourning cloth on his head, being held high by Qin Lang, reaching with his chubby hands for the blooming magnolia flowers on the tree.

Cuibi stood aside, looking nervous and afraid that Qin Lang would drop Wang Geer. She opened her arms protectively as if facing a great enemy. Catching sight of Bai Jinxiu out of the corner of her eye, Cuibi, with tears in her eyes, called out, "Second Lady!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang turned around and saw Bai Jinxiu standing in mourning clothes in the corridor. Qin Lang hesitated, then lowered his head and said to Wang Geer in his arms, "Wang Geer, look... Mother is here. Haven’t you been clamoring for Mother?"

Bai Jinxiu’s eyes moistened, a smile played at her lips as she lifted the hem of her mourning clothes, walking towards Qin Lang and Wang Geer, and softly said, "Look at our Wang Geer, he’s grown sturdier. Let Mother hold you..."

Wang Geer, seeing Bai Jinxiu approaching to take him from Qin Lang’s hands, hastily wrapped his arms around Qin Lang’s neck, burying his face in Qin Lang’s neck, turning his back to Bai Jinxiu.

Bai Jinxiu felt a sore lump in her throat, holding onto Qin Lang’s arm with one hand and gently stroking Wang Geer’s back with the other, holding back her tears, she softly spoke to Wang Geer, "Is Wang Geer angry at Mother? Mother was wrong... Don’t be angry anymore, alright? Mother will never be apart from Wang Geer again! Okay?"

Bai Jinxiu was extremely gentle as she held Wang Geer’s little chubby hand and said softly, "Mother really, really missed Wang Geer, thought about Wang Geer every day. Can Mother hold you?"

Having changed into mourning clothes, ready to head to the main hall to return the courtesy to incoming guests, Mrs. Liu, seeing from afar her daughter coaxing her little grandson, her tears immediately fell. She hurriedly dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief, holding onto Nanny Luo’s hand as she walked out from the corridor, shouting, "Our Wang Geer simply shouldn’t pay any attention to her! Wang Geer... come with Grandma, we shall never care about your mother again!"

Hearing this, Wang Geer hurriedly turned around and lunged towards Bai Jinxiu, tightly clinging to her neck.

Qin Lang bent over with a smile and handed Wang Geer to Bai Jinxiu. The little one felt heavy in her arms, clearly well-fed during this time.

"Little ingrate!" Mrs. Liu feigned anger and scolded Wang Geer, "How did Grandma teach you? Not to pay attention to your mother when you see her... to leave her aside for three months. Why are you so disappointing!"

Wang Geer held onto his mother’s neck tightly, kicking his legs happily, his brows arching, his eyes almost identical to Bai Jinxiu’s.

Mrs. Liu tapped lightly on Wang Geer’s forehead.

"Mother..." Bai Jinxiu called out softly.

Mrs. Liu shifted her gaze from Wang Geer to her daughter, her expression turning solemn, "Don’t call me Mother! How dare I have a daughter like you, knocked out without a word and thrown onto a carriage, waking up nearly in Baiwo City! Three months... Don’t speak to me for these three months, Wang Geer couldn’t care less about leaving you aside, I’ll leave you aside for three months!"

With that, Mrs. Liu angrily swept her sleeves and left...

Bai Jinxiu looked at Qin Lang for help, "Was Mother very angry in Baiwo City?"

"Mother-in-law wasn’t really angry, it’s just that she worried about you daily, with the news arriving slowly. Mother-in-law was so anxious that she couldn’t eat or drink, finally, hearing that the eldest lady returned and was about to take the throne in Dadu, she sighed in relief. Mother-in-law is angry because she was worried about you," Qin Lang said softly.

"Please say something nice to Mother for me," Bai Jinxiu said again.

Qin Lang’s gaze was gentle as he looked at Bai Jinxiu, "There’s no need for me to say anything nice, as long as you sincerely apologize to Mother-in-law, she will surely forgive you!"

This time, Bai Jinxiu truly stunned Qin Lang.

If previously Qin Lang’s feelings for Bai Jinxiu were care and affection, now... he also had admiration for Bai Qingyan.

It was because Bai Jinxiu was always so gentle that Qin Lang forgot... Bai Jinxiu had once been on the battlefield too, she was no less than any man.

Having such a wife, capable both in literature and martial arts, Qin Lang himself needed to work twice as hard to be worthy of Bai Jinxiu.

Upon receiving the news from the back courtyard of Bai Mansion that Bai Qingyan wished to personally go out to the entrance of Bai Mansion to greet the Madam and Ladies of the Bai family, Xie Yuchang immediately led the imperial guards to encircle Bai Mansion and the entire street, sealing it off completely. Even the horse carriages of the visiting noble guests were moved aside first, asked to wait in a narrow alley, only allowed to proceed after the ladies of the Bai family returned to the mansion.

Wei Zhong also commanded the Hidden Guard to infiltrate around Bai family to prepare for any contingency.

The Bai Clan elders, initially intending to impress before Bai Qingyan and properly mourn for the Eldest Princess, were also blocked, not allowed to approach Bai Qingyan at all.

Standing at the entrance of Bai Mansion were Second Madam Mrs. Liu, Bai Qingyan, Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jinse, along with Qin Lang, Wang Geer, and the loyal servants of the Bai family.

From afar, they could see a convoy slowly making its way towards Bai Mansion, prompting Second Madam Mrs. Liu to step forward.

Riding a horse and leading the guards at the forefront, with a tall and proud bearing... was Bai Qingjue, followed by Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua, riding on horseback with heroic demeanors.

Second Madam Mrs. Liu tightly clutched Nanny Luo’s hand, her throat rolling, hand trembling incessantly, full of excitement mixed with disbelief, "Is it really Ah Jue? Is it really Ah Jue?"

If Ah Jue can come back, does it mean her A Qiong, A Wei can also come back? Even if... letting Ah Hui, Ah Feng return would be good too!
