Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1023

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1018: Reassured

"This kid, probably because he noticed that Mr. Cai and General Zhao Sheng were not on the way back, thinks I’m simple-minded and can be manipulated, he’s acting more and more recklessly, using my name to do things before asking me! A few times I was so angry I almost chopped him up right there!" Bai Jinzhi said this with quite some anger, "Even though... none of it was really serious, I could see he was constantly testing my limits, even daring to interfere with my pace, deliberately probing how far he could go with his impudence."

"Then I thought, isn’t it just acting! King Liang can act so well, I have to learn too! I just didn’t bother with him, pretended I liked him too, indulged him all the way, just to see what he wanted to do in the end!" Bai Jinzhi’s lips curled, "Eldest Young Lady, I think this person might be from another country. If we can find out which country he’s from, maybe... we could make use of him."

Leaving Bai Jinzhi alone outside, Bai Jinzhi’s growth was indeed beyond Bai Qingyan’s expectations.

Bai Jinzhi never forgot the time when someone caused trouble at the Bai Mansion gate, and the Eldest Young Lady scolded her... mentioning the words "straight outside, round inside," maintaining the seeming recklessness others thought she had, while keeping everything clear in her heart internally.

This was her understanding of being "straight outside, round inside," which the Third Sister once said as long as she could achieve this, she would have great success in the future.

"Now that you’re back, stay in the palace. This Sun Wenyao... I’ll have someone keep an eye on him, no need for you to worry!" Bai Qingyan recalled Third Aunt, reminding Bai Jinzhi, "Spend more time with Third Aunt!"

"Oh, right! That Sun Wenyao is still waiting outside Wude Gate, saying he’s admiring Eldest Young Lady’s style and regretfully never had the chance to fight alongside her... meaning he wants to see the Eldest Young Lady. I understood what he meant and said I’d mention it to Eldest Young Lady when I see her, suggesting she meet him!" Bai Jinzhi squinted and said, "My idea is for the Eldest Young Lady to let him bask in the sun well outside the palace gate. I’ll say I’ve been punished by my mother and let him stand for a whole day and night till he’s sunburnt, then I’ll send someone to let him go! It also relieves my grudge for being treated like a fool along the way!"

Bai Qingyan didn’t mind Bai Jinzhi handling these harmless small matters on her own; she nodded with a doting look in her eyes, "Alright, let our little Fourth vent a bit."

"Your Majesty..." Wei Zhong called from outside the hall, "This old servant saw the Third Madam from a distance."

Upon hearing that her mother had arrived, Bai Jinzhi shivered with fright, hurriedly asking her Eldest Young Lady, "Eldest Young Lady, have I gotten even tanner?!"

"No! Our little Four... still very beautiful!" Bai Qingyan didn’t lie, instructing Wei Zhong to usher the Third Madam in directly when she arrived.

Now the little Fourth has grown into a big girl, her height increased quite a bit, already showing the exquisite figure of a young lady. After recuperating in Hancheng for a while, she’s regained quite a bit of her former self. Now if she stays quiet sitting there, she’s exactly a lovely and serene young lady.

"When Third Aunt arrives, greet her properly, don’t be too loud, Third Aunt will surely be gratified..." Bai Qingyan said with a smile.

Even Bai Qingyan, after hearing Bai Jinzhi’s recent words, felt very gratified, as the impulsive and easily angered young girl had learned to use her past personality to plan.

Bai Jinzhi quickly grabbed a cushion and sat properly on the side where Bai Qingyan piled up the memorials high.

Third Madam Mrs. Li lifted her skirt, holding onto the nanny’s hand, hurriedly walking up the high steps. Wei Zhong went up to greet her, and Mrs. Li quickly said, "There’s no need to announce me, I’ll just wait outside, and once Xiao Si and Kid finish discussing serious matters, I’ll go in..."

"His Majesty instructed, once the Third Madam arrives... this old servant should welcome her in, thinking the serious matters are already discussed." Wei Zhong said.

Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good! As long as I’m not interrupting the two children’s serious talk!"

Upon hearing the news of Bai Jinzhi’s return, Mrs. Li couldn’t sit still, waiting eagerly in the palace. Just as Bai Jinzhi returned to Dadu City, there were already stories of her wielding a whip in Dadu, almost making Mrs. Li faint with anger, deciding to come over and wait outside the hall.

Who knows, this child just returned to Dadu City and used a whip on someone. Even if Mrs. Li’s mother loved her granddaughter, she would still, of course, love her grandson more. Upon learning Bai Jinzhi hadn’t changed her temper and was still so fierce... She couldn’t help but worry her grandson would suffer. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
