Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1080

Chapter 1080 -1074: Jade Cicada

She thought of the child in her eldest sister’s womb and looked at her, with the corners of her eyes and brows softened into a gentle smile as she gazed at Murong Yan. The anger in her heart dissipated instantly by half.

Previously, knowing that Xiao Rongyan was gone, Bai Jinzhi was saddened for a long time… worrying for her eldest sister and for the child in her womb. Now that Xiao Rongyan is still alive, it is a joyous event, and she should be happy for her eldest sister.

Bai Jinzhi pursed her lips and sat down, still looking puffed-up, and said, “For my eldest sister, it’s one thing for you to deceive me, but… you are the Ninth Prince of Yan, my eldest sister is the Empress. When the baby nephew or niece is born, how do you plan to handle this? Are you going to hide the fact that the child’s father is still alive? If my aunt finds out you are the Ninth Prince of Yan… not only will my eldest sister be punished, my aunt could skin you alive!”

Seeing Bai Jinzhi glaring at him, Murong Yan sat down and said, “Rest assured, my mother already knows.”

Bai Jinzhi: “…”

Well then! Even my aunt knows, and all this time, I was the only one kept in the dark!

She wasted her sorrow over Xiao Rongyan’s death for so long!

“But now, since the two nations have not yet merged, A Yan’s identity should not be disclosed…”

“Merge the two nations?” Bai Qingyu looked up at Murong Yan, clenching his fist, his expression cautious and cold, “Elder sister… how would the two nations merge?”

Bai Qingyan explained the previous agreement with Murong Yan to determine the winner by the nation whose policies could enrich and strengthen the country, and then merge into one nation.

This way of deciding the winner was proposed by his elder sister. Bai Qingyu was not surprised; it embodied the Bai family’s enduring legacy of protecting and fostering the people. What surprised him was that Murong Yan actually agreed. He looked at Murong Yan full of inquiry.

Murong Yan knew that there had been a misunderstanding between him and Bai Qingyu back in Xiangliang. Later… it was also because he lost control, thinking Kid would not conceive, and indulged excessively, already consummating the marriage before the ceremony. As Kid’s full-blooded brother, it was natural for him to harbor doubts.

Therefore, Murong Yan lowered his stance: “A unified world is the goal of both nations. Since our two nations are already like family and have generally similar governance directions, only differing in some national policies, there is no need to let the citizens suffer from war anymore, nor for soldiers to shed blood and sacrifice needlessly.”

Although neither Xiao Rongyan nor Bai Qingyan explicitly stated which nation would take the throne after the merger, Bai Qingyu had already considered the child in Bai Qingyan’s womb.

After the two countries merge, the lineage shared by both nations’ imperial families would inherit the throne. This way, neither imperial family would harbor resentment, and the policies that can enrich the nation would be adopted, which is fair.

The anger in Bai Qingyu’s heart calmed considerably, and he understood… the decision made by Murong Yan must have been influenced by having the child with his elder sister.

In this light, the arrival of this child might be a sign from the heavens, also a divine aid, allowing the unification to happen sooner.

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Qingyu looked up to see his elder sister watching him. He nodded lightly to Bai Qingyan to express his agreement.

Bai Qingyan’s lips curved into a smile as she gently caressed her abdomen. The merger of the two nations, allowing the child with dual heritage to undertake the responsibilities of a ruler, was more easily accepted than the simple merge into one nation bowing to the other.

Bai Jinzhi visibly brightened at the mention of the nations’ merger, “Then… the child in the eldest sister’s womb will be the new Monarch! Eldest Sister, don’t worry… once the nephew or niece is born, I will surely impart all my skills without any reservation!”
