Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1011

Chapter 1011: Chapter 1006: Guarding the Bai Family

"Although the Crown Prince’s son, Ah Li, is precocious, he is still young, and besides... the internal affairs of Yan are unstable, and the great cause is incomplete. Rong Yan... dare not let down his mother and elder brother, dare not let down the people who have suffered together with the Yan Kingdom!"

In the past, to establish a new army and to gather the capital needed for him to negotiate in foreign countries, the entire Yan Kingdom donated everything they could from their homes, with the people and the Imperial Family saving silver by eating only one meal a day.

Xiao Rongyan still remembers an old man of Yan, who was lame and in rags, bringing the compensation he had just received for his son’s death to the donation center. His elder brother tried to stop the old man and persuade him to take the silver back, but the old man said that although he had never read books, he understood the saying that every man has his responsibilities. He, as a man of Yan, could not watch helplessly as Yan disappeared. Gripping his brother’s hand tightly... he exhorted his brother to lead Yan to regain its prosperity so that the people of Yan could die with peace, and at that time... Xiao Rongyan was beside his brother.

Xiao Rongyan spoke sincerely, lifting his gaze to Mrs. Dong: "And Kid... for Rong Yan, is also a lifelong pursuit, which cannot be relinquished! Now Kid is pregnant... whether as a husband or a father, Rong Yan cannot let down Kid and the child!"

Once, Xiao Rongyan had a father who let down his mother; although he never imagined he would meet Kid, never imagined he would have a child, when he met Kid... he admonished himself that he absolutely could not let down his wife, and now that Kid is pregnant... he must be a good father!

"One cannot have both fish and bear’s paw. If you choose Kid and the child, you must abandon Yan! If you choose Yan, from now on Kid and the child have nothing to do with you. The child’s father is the world’s leading righteous merchant Xiao Rongyan, who died shortly after marrying the Empress of Zhou. From then on... you must never appear before my Kid and child!" Mrs. Dong’s intention was clear, if Xiao Rongyan chose Yan Kingdom, this child would never know who his father was.

"Mother, I have my ambitions and aspirations, and A Yan... also has his ambitions and aspirations. I cannot use the child as a bargaining chip to bind his hands and feet. The reason I admire him is because of his ambitions, his aspirations, and his courage to strive for them!" Bai Qingyan turned to Xiao Rongyan, "If I were to bind him to my side, making him just a man revolving around me, Murong Yan... would no longer be the Murong Yan I admire!"

Xiao Rongyan’s deep eyes looked at the woman calmly gazing at him from the couch, warmth surged in his heart, and guilt enveloped him like a giant net. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Once, Emperor Murong Yu sent me the treasure intended for my daughter-in-law by Empress Ji, and I... served tea to him, calling Emperor Yan brother. For Kid... calling Emperor Yan brother meant A Yan was already my husband."

Listening to Bai Qingyan’s calm and clear voice, Xiao Rongyan closed his aching eyes, remembering that before his brother left, he promised him... to propose marriage to the Bai family for him.

"A Yan and I once made a gentleman’s agreement, when the world is unified... if Yan wins the world, I will marry him as his wife, and if Zhou wins the world... he will become the Bai family’s son-in-law. We have agreed... not to inject personal feelings into important national events." Bai Qingyan showed a slight smile to Xiao Rongyan, then looked at her mother, "Mother, this is the first time your daughter has admired someone, and I don’t know much about love. Whether it was before or now, your daughter has always put more thought into the Bai family, into Zhou! Your daughter doesn’t even know whether her thoughts are correct, but... looking at your relationship with father, your daughter always feels that true admiration and love shouldn’t cut off one’s ambitions and wings in the name of love! Just like even if you don’t want to, you would still send father to the battlefield."

Xiao Rongyan’s deep eyes filled with emotions, his eyes turned red, with such a wife... what more could a husband ask for!
