Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1024

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1019: A Single Mold

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter, stepped forward to touch her daughter’s little face, then pinched her daughter’s shoulder and arm, smiling with tears, and spoke chokingly, "You’ve grown quite a bit taller... it seems the clothes I made for you don’t fit anymore!"

"Indeed, ever since I went off to war, my food intake increased, and I’ve been more active, so it’s hard not to grow taller—didn’t father say so!" Bai Jinzhi said with a smug look on her face, "Give me another half a year, and I’ll definitely be taller than the Eldest Young Lady!"

"You ungrateful child! Just returned and already thinking about running wild for another half year! You entirely disregard whether your mother misses you!" Mrs. Li pretended to be angry and scolded.

Bai Jinzhi, not embarrassed in front of the Eldest Young Lady, hooked her arm around Mrs. Li’s and rubbed her head on Mrs. Li’s shoulder, "If I’m not around... it’s not like there’ll be anyone to upset mother, and mother still thinks of me. Isn’t that wonderful!"

Mrs. Li poked Bai Jinzhi’s head with her finger, "You! When will you grow up! Even if you could learn one-tenth from your Eldest Young Lady... I wouldn’t be so worried!"

"Aunt, I must disagree with that. Our Little Fourth... has an exuberant and vivacious nature. If everyone in our Bai family were truly that steady, wouldn’t we miss many moments of laughter and joy!" Bai Qingyan said with a smile.

"Exactly, exactly!" Bai Jinzhi nodded repeatedly.

"You’re always one to go along with it!" Mrs. Li poked Bai Jinzhi’s head again, "Alright, alright! Once you’ve finished speaking with your Eldest Young Lady, stop being mischievous here. Your Eldest Young Lady is now expecting, you must help her, not create trouble! I’ve seen you... now help your Eldest Young Lady sort through the memorials! Accompany her! Also keep an eye on her... make sure she takes a break in half an hour!"

"Aunt, let Little Fourth go back and keep you company! I’ll make sure to take a good rest after working a bit longer!" Bai Qingyan said with a smile, "Probably in no more than a little tea time, Aunt Fifth will send Nanny Zhai to bring Xiao Ba over..."

Ever since Bai Qingyan became pregnant, these experienced aunts would constantly send people over to remind her to rest. They sent capable nannies by her side... bringing either soup or snacks, and watched Bai Qingyan obediently finish them and get up to stretch before returning to report back.

These nannies had watched Bai Qingyan grow up and were like elders to her, she couldn’t possibly disobey and would just get up and move after the snacks.

Let alone Doctor Hong and Xiao Yinshuang who kept a close watch all the time.

Just as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, sure enough, Nanny Zhai led Bai Wanqing and Xiao Ba in.

Upon entering, Nanny Zhai saluted Mrs. Li, Bai Qingyan, and Bai Jinzhi, then smilingly said to Bai Wanqing, "Miss Eight, this is your Fourth Sister..."

Bai Jinzhi looked at the little one with two small blessing buns, wearing a ruby collar, a fei-colored silk cross collar blouse, and a frost-colored gauze skirt. Her eyes, like black grapes, blinked lively, an adorable little blessing baby.

Bai Jinzhi bent down and touched Bai Wanqing’s hair, "Xiao Ba, I am your Fourth Sister!"

"Fourth Sister!" Bai Wanqing sweetly called out, then let go of Nanny Zhai’s hand, lifting her skirt as she toddled towards Bai Qingyan, her pronunciation still unclear, softly insisting, "Eldest Young Lady, Eldest Young Lady must not read memorials anymore! Time to relax, time to relax..."

Seeing the little one, familiar with the way, run to Bai Qingyan’s side, then climbed under Bai Qingyan’s arm into her lap, sitting there mimicking Bai Qingyan in opening the bamboo slip to read through. If she didn’t hold it upside down... one might think the little one truly understood.

Perhaps such scenes had been seen many times, no one reprimanded Xiao Ba for taking care of Bai Qingyan so diligently. Bai Qingyan casually set the bamboo slip aside, took out a blank bamboo slip, and let Xiao Ba grab a brush and scribble as she pleased, even praising how well Xiao Ba drew, her affection and indulgence barely hidden.
