Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress-Chapter 835 - 832: No Delay Allowed

"Since you have the token given by Li Mingrui, no one will obstruct you when leaving the city! Please escort my son and my mother to Baiwo City to find my husband!" Bai Jinxiu raised her head, her eyes resolute, "I have heard from Shen Qingzhu that you are a close friend of my uncle Bai Qishan. Bai Jinxiu trusts you and can only plead for your help this time!"

Shen Bozhong was stunned. He came to deliver this news to Bai Jinxiu to let her take the child and avoid the trouble, but Bai Jinxiu’s intention seemed to... stay in Dadu City.

"Mrs. Qin won’t leave?" Shen Bozhong frowned.

Bai Jinxiu shook her head: "If I leave, no one will stop King Liang. If King Liang ascends to the throne... he will definitely exterminate the entire Bai family!"

Shen Bozhong frowned tightly, recalling what Li Mingrui had said... Everyone has a burden on their shoulders. He nodded and clasped his fists to Bai Jinxiu: "Then I... will escort the young master to Baiwo City to find his father!"

Bai Jinxiu turned her head and called out, "Cuibi, go pack things for Wang Geer, you will go with Wang Geer and my mother to Baiwo City with Sir! Cuiyu, you go and inform the two young ladies and the young master of the mansion, let them prepare to visit their maternal grandmother’s house early tomorrow morning!"

Not too many people can leave tonight. Even with the token in Shen Bozhong’s hand, too many people would attract attention, so... only mother, Wang Geer, and Bicui would leave with Shen Bozhong for safety.

The two half-sisters and brother of Qin Lang might be able to leave the city on the pretext of visiting relatives early tomorrow morning. After all, it was well known in Dadu City that Bai Jinxiu and the two daughters of Mrs. Jiang did not get along. Not for those two girls, if they could send out the brother educated by Qin Lang with care, that would be enough!

"Miss!" Cuibi’s eyes widened, "Miss, please don’t make Cuibi leave! Cuibi is determined to advance and retreat with Miss!"

Cuibi had followed Bai Jinxiu for many years, and knowing that turmoil was about to break out in Dadu City, could she not understand what the second young lady was about to do? freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Cuibi! Wang Geer is my lifeline! I entrust my lifeline to you! You must protect him for me!" Bai Jinxiu said gravely.

Cuibi could no longer resist and could only respond tearfully, going out to pack the belongings.

"Sir, please wait here for a moment, I will change clothes and go to Bai Mansion with you!" Bai Jinxiu said to Shen Bozhong.

Shen Bozhong nodded: "Mrs. Qin, please be quick!"

Bai Jinxiu nodded and walked out of the main hall, her face turning serious, instructing Cuiyu: "Go and summon the Hidden Guards immediately to see me!"

While Bai Jinxiu was changing clothes in the upper room, the Hidden Guards had already followed Cuiyu into Bai Jinxiu’s courtyard, standing under the corridor awaiting orders.

"Send someone immediately to the Patrol Camp and inform General Fu... Li Mingrui and Fan Yuhuai are gathering at King Liang’s mansion. Tell General Fu to be vigilant and prevent another incident at Wude Gate! Then personally lead people to Daliang as quickly as possible and deliver the news of King Liang conspiring with Fan Yuhuai and Left Prime Minister Li Mao to rebel to my eldest sister! Be swift! Not a moment of delay!"

"Yes!"

The Hidden Guards departed with the orders.

Bai Jinxiu changed her clothes and came out. Cuibi was already holding the soundly sleeping Wang Geer wrapped in a brocade quilt, with a small bundle in her arm, not disturbing anyone.

Bai Jinxiu carefully took Wang Geer from Cuibi, pressed Wang Geer’s little face to hers, and kissed him before holding him and walking out, whispering to Cuibi: "Cuibi has always been resourceful, after leaving the city... make sure to find a way to publicize the conspiracy of King Liang, Left Prime Minister Li Mao, and the head of the Imperial Guards Fan Yuhuai to rebel, intending to kill the Crown Prince and the Emperor to seize the throne! I will also request that Mr. Shen, after leaving the city... take you to Qing Temple to report this to Grandmother, and have Xiao Qi leave with you. You let Xiao Qi send someone to Shuoyang to inform Aunt to be on guard! Understand?"

Cuibi swallowed nervously and nodded: "Second young lady, rest assured!"

Bai Jinxiu and Shen Bozhong took the carriage to the side gate of the Princess of Zhen’s Mansion. Mrs. Liu was already asleep. Hearing that Bai Jinxiu brought Wang Geer, she was startled and quickly got up, without even dressing up, turned to look at the ever-swaying lanterns outside the window, urging Nanny Luo to go out to meet them first.

As she was crossing the upper threshold, a cold wind rushed at her, making her squint her eyes.

Once she came to her senses, she saw the courtyard gate wide open, with Nanny Luo waiting at the entrance to greet them.

Mrs. Liu frowned, fearing something happened to her daughter or grandson, hurriedly walked to the gate holding the maid’s hand.

From afar, she saw the nanny leading the way with a lantern hunched over, while Bai Jinxiu briskly walked in this direction.

Seeing Mrs. Liu exit the courtyard gate, Bai Jinxiu waved the lantern bearers to retreat and hastened toward Mrs. Liu: "Mother..."

"Jinxiu! Nanny Luo said you brought Wang Geer? Where is Wang Geer?" Mrs. Liu’s heart jumped into her throat, tightly holding Bai Jinxiu’s cold hands, rubbing them back and forth, and looking for Wang Geer’s figure, "At this hour, in such strong wind, what urgent matter brought you here in such a hurry?"

"Mother, apologies!"

Without further explanation, Bai Jinxiu hit Mrs. Liu, knocking her unconscious, shocking Nanny Luo who opened her eyes wide in terror and hurriedly held Mrs. Liu.

Bai Jinxiu knew her mother’s character. If her mother knew about the turmoil in Dadu City, she would definitely drag Bai Jinxiu along. If Bai Jinxiu didn’t go, her mother wouldn’t leave either, causing unnecessary delay.

"Nanny Luo, turmoil is about to break out in Dadu City! I feared mother wouldn’t leave, so I had to knock her out! Don’t worry... Cuibi will take care of mother and Wang Geer! Too many people leaving would be suspicious, so Nanny, come with me to the Qin Mansion!"

Nanny Luo was startled, recalling the chaos at Wude Gate, cold sweat rolling down her back, she continuously nodded: "This old servant will obey!"

They settled Mrs. Liu in the waiting carriage near the back gate, Bai Jinxiu kissed the sleeping Wang Geer one more time before stepping off the carriage and saying to Shen Bozhong: "Sir, if you can safely exit the city, please inform my grandmother and take my seventh sister away as well! This will ensure that my grandmother is prepared."

Leaving the city first made taking others easier later on.

"Shen Bozhong will certainly not fail you!" Shen Bozhong clasped his hands to Bai Jinxiu and after saying that, a voice in his mind seemed to overlap with his current one.

In his mind, Shen Bozhong recalled Bai Qishan’s refined and handsome features, his pupils trembled, filled with deep affection, he looked at Bai Jinxiu again and solemnly said: "Mrs. Qin, don’t worry!"

Watching Shen Bozhong drive the carriage away, Bai Jinxiu stood under the swaying lanterns by the side gate of the Princess of Zhen’s Mansion, her fists clenched tightly, unmoving for a long time.

She could only hope that her mother and Wang Geer could leave the city smoothly.

She still had to visit the Crown Prince’s Mansion. Merely sending the hidden guards to inform her eldest sister was not enough. She also needed the Crown Prince to immediately send someone out of the city with the Crown Prince’s seal for legitimacy.
