Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1079

Chapter 1079 -1073: Grateful from the Heart

Watching the Ninth Prince of Yan, Murong Yan, cross the threshold of the Nuanhua Pavilion, Bai Jinzhi, with the mindset that a guest is to be respected, first cupped her hands in salute: “Ninth Prince…”

Murong Yan untied the well-tailored black fox cape from his body and nodded in return to Bai Jinzhi: “Lord of Gaoyi.”

The maid stepped forward with small steps, respectfully receiving the cape from Murong Yan’s hands and heading back with it reverently.

“Please have a seat, Ninth Prince…” Bai Jinzhi smiled as she made a gesturing invitation to Murong Yan, her demeanor much calmer and already carrying the aura of the Lord of Gaoyi, unlike the naïve innocence she used to show in front of Xiao Rongyan before.

Murong Yan understood that Bai Qingyan had asked Wei Zhong to bring him over to dine with Bai Qingyu and Bai Jinzhi, intending to inform Bai Qingyu and Bai Jinzhi about the future merger of the two countries.

Bai Qingyu had known about his identity even before the founding of Zhou, but their younger sibling, Bai Jinzhi, who had been trying to matchmake him and Bai Qingyan, probably still didn’t know…

Murong Yan nodded, lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt down across from Bai Qingyu, his dark, deep eyes quietly gazing at Bai Qingyu beneath his mask.

The maid had just served tea to Murong Yan when Bai Jinzhi introduced him: “This is the brother of the Empress of Zhou, also my fifth brother…”

“I have had the honor to meet Fifth Young Master before…” Murong Yan smiled faintly.

Thinking about how Murong Yan ultimately took responsibility and married his elder sister, also abandoning the name Xiao Rongyan, Bai Qingyu felt quite relieved. Moreover, since his elder sister let Murong Yan come and dine together with him and their younger sibling, it seemed she intended to reveal Murong Yan’s identity to their younger sibling, hoping they would get along well!

Bai Qingyu did not want to disappoint his elder sister and graciously said: “Indeed, the Bai family and the Ninth Prince of Yan have a deep bond.”

Bai Jinzhi sensed that these two seemed to be speaking in riddles, but before she could ask her fifth brother, the maids filed in with small steps, carrying dishes and jugs of honeydew wine, cold dishes, fresh fruits, snacks, and steamed cakes, flowing like water.

“Where is the Eldest Young Lady? Is she not coming?” Bai Jinzhi turned to ask Wei Zhong, who was watching the maids serve the dishes.

Wei Zhong quickly faced Bai Jinzhi, modestly: “Replying to the Lord of Gaoyi, Her Majesty just sent someone to instruct that the dishes be served first, and she will arrive shortly.”

Bai Jinzhi nodded, glancing at the masked Ninth Prince of Yan, Murong Yan, and then at her fifth brother. How were the two masked men going to dine?

It wasn’t so bad with her fifth brother’s half-covered face, but how would the Ninth Prince of Yan manage to eat?

Bai Jinzhi almost burst into laughter at a thought she had, quickly covering her mouth with her hand.

Seeing Chun Zhi lift the curtain and invite Bai Qingyan inside, Bai Jinzhi quickly stood up: “Eldest Young Lady!”

Bai Qingyu and Murong Yan also stood up together.

“With family, there’s no need for such formalities. Please, sit.” Bai Qingyan smiled, glanced at Murong Yan, and sat at the head of the table.

“Family?” Bai Jinzhi raised her eyebrows in surprise as she sat down and glanced over at Murong Yan.

When did the Ninth Prince of Yan become considered family?

In front of the Ninth Prince of Yan, Bai Jinzhi didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask.
