Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress-Chapter 1556 - 1551: Return

Bai Jintong stood at the doorway, not stepping inside, drunkenly raised his hand and pointed in the original direction, "Go right now!"

Danzhi saw that Bai Jintong seemed resolute not to let the servant leave, quickly said, "Hurry up and go! Don’t make the master worried!"

The servant acknowledged and immediately ran towards the tailor shop!

He was carrying something the Third Young Lady needed to send home, something extremely important to her, and even if he ran his legs off, he couldn’t delay!

In the distance, Weisu, who had arrived in Yan City, observed. He saw the drunken Third Young Lady being helped into the mansion, hiding in the shadows and surveying around, noticing many people watching the Cui Mansion, and some followed the servant.

Weisu didn’t know if the Third Young Lady was in danger given the current situation, he had to find an opportunity to meet her face to face.

Nightfall.

Bai Jintong was restless, pacing back and forth in the room, she received the news too late... 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Although after the Imperial Clan relatives knelt at the palace gates begging for the execution of the Regent Prince to no avail, she had already dispatched people to investigate everywhere, but she dared not make any big moves due to being under the watch of the Yan Kingdom people!

Bai Jintong sat on the soft couch by the window, her fists tightly clenched, wondering whether the young Emperor of Yan had caught wind of this matter, whether there was any countermeasure...

Hopefully, the young Emperor and her brother-in-law had prepared in advance, already placing people within the Imperial Clan relatives’ households and had learned of this.

She turned to look out the window filled with nervousness, but even if the young Emperor knew, what was the use? The elite forces he could command had gone to Zhou, the Vassal Kings of Yan were powerful, and for their own benefit might feign compliance to the young Emperor’s orders, and since the matter of the Regent Prince being the Emperor of Zhou’s consort was exposed, the Vassal Kings would have more excuses to act.

Bai Jintong irritably tapped her fingers on the table, after a moment let out a long sigh, and once again gripped the edge of the small table, got up, pacing restlessly, her greatest concern being her elder sister’s safety, hoping that her message could reach her in time.

"Master!"

Bai Jintong turned her head at the voice, looking out the window, quickly walked to the window, raised her hand to push open the window lattice, looking at the Hidden Guard standing in the shadows of the corridor.

"Speak..."

"This subordinate received the signal, the Hidden Guard by the Eldest Young Lady’s side is contacting the master." The Hidden Guard said.

This Hidden Guard was assigned to Bai Jintong by Bai Qingyan before she left home, as Imperial Hidden Guards they naturally knew the signals of the Imperial Hidden Guards, they could communicate even without meeting, relying solely on signals.

But acting this way was still somewhat risky, as the Cui Mansion was surrounded tightly, any slight movement would arouse suspicion.

The Hidden Guards sent by her elder sister were certainly formidable characters, aware of the current situation of the Cui Mansion, yet they still risked making contact with her Hidden Guard, it must be an extremely crucial matter she needed to handle.

Elder sister’s order must be followed, even if it means risking everything.

Bai Jintong calmed her mind, said, "Reply, tomorrow at the third quarter past the hour of the Dragon, at the Lao Han’s pancake shop!"

She roughly calculated the time then changed her mind, "Forget it... right now, Xianghe Tower... have a carriage prepared, I’ll be going for a late-night meal, then send someone to invite the owner of Wang Ji’s, saying for the sake of the esteemed guest’s invitation, I had to forgo the Wang family’s full month banquet, feeling uneasy about it, upon returning and sobering up from the wine, prepared a small gift for the young nephew and invite Wang Yuwen for a visit."

"Yes!"

This night, sleeplessness was predestined for Bai Jintong, instead of tossing and turning in bed, she might as well meet with those sent by her elder sister.

Bai Jintong changed her clothes and hurried out, she had to meet the person sent by her elder sister before Wang Yuwen arrived at Xianghe Tower.

Danzhi entered holding a bowl of bird’s nest porridge, seeing Bai Jintong take the cloak through the landscape screen, she quickly stepped around the eight-panel ebony screen and softly inquired, "Is the master going out again?"

"Wang Yuwen’s joyous occasion of having a son, had invited me earlier to toast on the full month day, unfortunately it coincided with the day scheduled with the esteemed guest to appreciate the snow, so I couldn’t attend for Wang Yuwen, but today is ultimately the full month day for Wang Yuwen’s son, I must personally congratulate him." Bai Jintong said.

Danzhi hurriedly placed the bird’s nest porridge aside, quickly stepped forward to fasten Bai Jintong’s cloak, "But didn’t the master send a generous gift this morning when leaving?"

"Sending a gift is sending a gift, but it’s different from personally delivering it! I might return late, you don’t need to wait for me, just go to sleep first!" Bai Jintong said, weaving around Danzhi in haste to leave.

Danzhi quickly followed behind Bai Jintong, standing under the corridor bowing to see him off, not straightening up until Bai Jintong’s figure had disappeared from view, sighing with deep concern.

At Xianghe Tower, Bai Jintong was led by the waiter to a private room, her servant smiled leaving the private room with the waiter, closing the partition door, then slipped some reward money into the waiter’s hand, smiling and said, "In a while, Wang Yuwen will come over, please find a way to spare us a jar of your Drunk Immortal Brew, our master couldn’t attend Wang Yuwen’s banquet today, feeling deeply apologetic, Wang Yuwen is most fond of wine, please help us out!"

"Helping Master Cui is helping me, don’t worry!" The waiter stuffed the silver into his collar, smilingly adopting a towel on his shoulder, happily went to see about acquiring the Drunk Immortal Brew.

The servant, seeing the light in the room suddenly sway violently, then return to normal, unemotionally surveyed the surroundings.

Inside the private room, after Weisu saluted and rose, he heard Bai Jintong ask, "Where is Xingchen? Is he protecting my elder sister?"

Bai Jintong had assumed the one sent by her elder sister would be Xingchen, earlier she was worried about how her sister would manage without Xingchen protecting her, seeing it wasn’t Xingchen she felt relieved.

"Reporting to the Third Young Lady, the captain was left in the Dongyi Kingdom with another task!" Weisu briefly responded then added, "The master commanded Weisu to bring the Dong family’s death warriors to Yan City, saying... if the Third Young Lady is trapped, they must spare no cost in rescuing her from Yan City, we observed that the Cui Mansion has already been surrounded in secret, does the Third Young Lady wish to return to Dadu City?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jintong was flustered, "There is no immediate problem here, you must quickly return to protect my elder sister! Tell her... it is now known throughout Yan Kingdom of Xiao Rongyan’s identity, they want to kill Xiao Rongyan, perhaps... might even act against my elder sister! Ensure she is on guard! Do not linger in Yan City, leave immediately for Zhou!"

When Bai Jintong said this, her tone was evidently anxious, although she had already sent those her elder sister arranged for her to send the message, but what if they were intercepted on the way? She evidently had more faith in Weisu’s capabilities, thinking perhaps Weisu could reach sooner.

"The master has ordered us to escort the Third Young Lady back to Dadu City, if the Third Young Lady refuses to go, we shall wait silently here!"
