Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1041

Chapter 1041 -1036: A Great Catastrophe

Not long after, the field was filled with young women flying kites, laughter echoing everywhere as if the commotion caused by the two sisters from the Qin family had never happened.

Bai Qingyan, pregnant, went to rest in the tent. Watching her leave, these noblewomen seemed to play even more joyfully, their laughter carefree and exceptionally pleasant.

Some newly-widowed women, skilled with their hands, made grasshoppers or birds out of leaves, surprising the noblewomen. These humble yet self-respecting common women, cautious but not sycophantic towards the noblewomen, were appreciated by the noblewomen who, to show respect for the new policy, were willing to interact with them.

Bai Qingyan said she was going to rest, but in fact, the Bai family’s fourth wife, Mrs. Wang, was lying in the tent. Beyond the hanging gauze curtain and the Eight Treasures screen, Mrs. Fang and her brother were trembling as they knelt outside, held by eunuchs. She quickly calculated in her heart, realizing Bai Qingyan had been prepared but hadn’t made a big scene.

It’s better not to make a big scene, as it shows Bai Qingyan cares about her fourth aunt’s reputation. As the saying goes, one hesitates to destroy what one fears losing; surely Bai Qingyan wouldn’t dare to kill her, otherwise… making a big scene would implicate her fourth aunt without a clear explanation.

At most, it would allow Bai Qihe to vent some anger, but now, with both Bai Qingping and his brother in the process of matchmaking and their daughter growing up, and although the eldest is not promising, Bai Qihe, considering Bai Qingping and his daughter’s futures, would surely ask Bai Qingyan to delay dealing with this matter…

As long as Bai Qingyan agreed to postpone it, she could somehow win back Bai Qihe’s heart. If she could conceive a child, Bai Qingyan wouldn’t disregard the Bai Clan’s bloodline!

After all, her fourth aunt wasn’t hurt, and her fourth aunt doesn’t bear the Bai surname… as long as she bears a child, it would be a legitimate bloodline of the Bai Clan.

Mrs. Fang’s mind raced while Bai Qihe stood there rigid, fists clenched, face pale.

Seeing Bai Qingyan enter, Bai Qihe already felt shameful facing her. He hurriedly knelt and kowtowed to Bai Qingyan, but couldn’t utter a word.

He guarded against the Bai Clan members, yet failed to guard against his own wife. He thought Mrs. Fang hadn’t acted up recently because she learned her lesson and was wary… so Bai Qihe, for the sake of his son Bai Qingping being capable and filial, was willing to tolerate Mrs. Fang for his son.

He didn’t expect Mrs. Fang to be so audacious, even daring to scheme against the Bai family’s fourth wife!

It was his mistake, he shouldn’t have been soft-hearted, shouldn’t have feared that divorcing this wicked woman would leave him humiliated before his children. Now, due to this matter, even the Emperor, who already had little affection for the Bai Clan, would likely detest them more!

And his son A Ping, such a good child, his relationship with the Emperor and future prospects… all delayed by this wicked woman!

“Husband! Husband, save me…” Mrs. Fang saw Bai Qingyan’s boots adorned with pearls and was finally frightened, crying as she called out to Bai Qihe, kneeling forward, trying to pull at Bai Qihe’s clothes, but the eunuchs held her firmly, leaving her immobile.

“Husband…” Mrs. Fang cried softly.

“Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law, for A Ping’s sake, save us… plead with His Majesty, sister was just momentarily confused!” Mrs. Fang’s brother quickly added.
