Chapter 60: Life and Death

Dong gritted his teeth, gently patted Bai Qingyan's hand holding her, his nose stirred, closed his eyes, and tears immediately seemed to be broken.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month of Xuanjia Year, heavy snow, the wife of the lord of the Zhenguo Mansion, Mrs. Dong, the second lady Liu, the third lady Li, the fourth lady Wang, and the fifth lady Qi successively learned that the men of the Zhenguo Mansion were all damaged in southern Xinjiang, and they were grief-stricken.

When the entire capital was full of New Year's joy, the Zhenguo Mansion was shrouded in haze, and the unaware concubines, maidservants, and mothers-in-law in the palace were keenly aware of the unusual, and they did not dare to make noise in their duties.

In the upper room of the eldest princess's longevity courtyard, the prince's wife Dong was quite stable, and she held the hand of her concubine Bai Jinse tightly to comfort her.

The second lady was sobbing and wiping her tears, and the third lady was sitting there with no face as if she had lost her soul.

The fourth lady was already weak, and if it weren't for the twin concubines of the fifth and sixth girls standing beside her and holding her hand tightly, she would have been unable to hold on and fall.

Only the fifth lady was as strong as the prince of the world, Dong, sitting there with her back straight, her eyes were red, her hands were protecting her stomach, and she clenched her teeth and said nothing.

Bai Qingyan, Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jintong, Bai Jinzhi, Bai Jinzhao, Bai Jinhua, and Bai Jinse all sat next to their mothers.

The eldest princess fiddled with the Buddha beads in her hand, closed her eyes, and the tears that could not be hidden from the corners of her eyes finally came down her face.

"The fifth daughter-in-law has a big belly, and the fourth daughter-in-law has a soft and glutinous personality, which is useless, and the glorious Zhenguo Mansion has now come to this point, and the way to come is ...... It also depends on the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law to support it! The eldest princess looked tired, "It's time to get ready!" Don't wait...... Don't wait for the news to come back, we're caught off guard. โ€

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows!" Dong nodded tearfully.

"Grandpa Guo, the eldest child, the second child, the third child and the fourth and fifth children, and ...... Seventeen children! The coffins brought back must have been improvised! The eldest princess kept her eyes closed, and tears continued to bubble up, "Grandpa Guo's coffin has been prepared a long time ago!" Today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, I'm afraid that the coffin shops are closed, and the eldest daughter-in-law ......"

Without waiting for the eldest princess to finish speaking, Bai Qingyan had already spoken: "Then wait for the news to come back, let's borrow it, borrow it from the world......"

The eldest princess opened her eyes slightly, and the candlelight pierced her sore eyes.

"Grandmother, only by bringing the martyrs to a miserable place, and letting the world see what my Bai family has done for this country and for this people, can those who harm my Bai family be weak-hearted, let me remember the merits of my Bai family today, treat my Bai family's widow preferentially, and protect my Bai family's widow from harm."

Bai Qingyan knew in her heart that on the premise of not rebelling, as long as it was beneficial to the Bai family, her grandmother would agree.

The eldest princess looked at Bai Qingyan and nodded: "Just do what Bao said." โ€

"After the big event, if the concubines in the family want to find another future, they will return the deed, and they will promise five hundred taels, let them go! You each settle in your own room, so don't work hard for your sister-in-law. The eldest princess hesitated for a long time in that little bit of compassion and said, "If you don't want to stay in this house, you can leave by yourself at that time!" Do not be afraid...... Even if you leave the Guogong Mansion, as long as I am there for a day, the Guogong Mansion will always be your home. โ€

The eldest princess's words touched the feelings of the second lady Liu, the third lady Li and the fourth lady Wang, and the three of them covered their mouths and cried again, for their husbands and their sons, even though they had cried many times, they still wrenched their hearts when they thought of their husbands and sons.

"Mother, I promised Da Lang, he will guard the Great Jin for the people, and I will guard the Bai family for him, share honor and disgrace, life and death, and live up to it in this life." Dong mentioned the indescribable tenderness of her husband's voice, "Although he is dead, his oath is still there, I will live up to the Bai family in this life, I will be the wife of the Bai family in life, and I will be the soul of the Bai family in death." โ€

The eldest princess nodded and closed her eyes, tears rippling, and she was choked up.

Bai Qingyan held Dong's hand, which was colder than her, and gently rubbed it to try to warm Dong's, the last life...... Her mother, Dong, really did what she said.

In fact, her mother and aunts are also fortunate to have a sensible mother-in-law like her grandmother.

In this life, she never wanted to see her mother and aunts commit suicide to seek justice for the Bai family.

Maybe she was too narrow-minded, and she couldn't let go of the deaths of her grandfather, father, uncle, and brothers in her past and present lives.

Reborn and Returned...... She lives only to take revenge and collect debts! So she very much hopes that her mother and aunts can get out of the haze of losing her husband and child. It is even possible to remarry.

The quagmire of all the hatred of the Bai family...... It's enough to have her.

ยท

From the 29th of the lunar month to Chinese New Year's Eve, it is extraordinarily long.

It's like a death row prisoner already knows that he will die, but he doesn't know when the knife hanging above his head will fall.

Bai Qingyan sat on top of the rockery pavilion and was distracted, and she didn't come back to her senses until Lu Ping came to tell her about Wu Zhe's posthumous affairs.

According to the eldest girl's instructions, in addition to sending the title deed of 200 acres of good paddy fields to Wu Zhe's parents, the subordinates also went to the account office and paid 500 taels of silver to Wu Zhe's parents and wife, informing Wu Zhe's parents that Wu Zhe was ordered to travel and met a robber, and Wu Zhe's funeral expenses should be allocated by the Guogong Government. Wu Zhe's daughter-in-law is about to give birth in February, and even if she stays, the eldest girl doesn't have to be too sad! Lupin said.

Bai Qingyan nodded, his expression slightly tired: "It's hard to work Uncle Ping......"

Lu Ping knew why Wu Zhe died, and naturally he also knew about the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, and his eyes were red.

Seeing Bai Qingyan's appearance, Lu Ping, a rough man, didn't know how to appease him, so he only said: "Big girl, Qin Shangzhi said that the big girl's vision pattern is not ordinary, he saw ten steps, and the big girl has already seen ninety-nine steps." He also said that if the eldest girl is a man, it will not be a problem for the Bai family to continue the glory of at least three more generations! This Lu Pinxin said! Grandpa Guo, although they ...... Although I went, you have to hold on, big girl. โ€

Bai Qingyan never imagined that he could be praised by Qin Shangzhi, this person is arrogant, and he has never heard of Qin Shangzhi praising a few people in his previous life.

"I know, Uncle Ping, don't worry, I can hold it!"

She has been a human being in two lives and has experienced it twice, and if she can't hold on, she will waste the kindness of the sky to let her come back.

Lu Ping saw Chun Tao coming from under the rockery with Chen Qingsheng, so he bowed to Bai Qing and retreated.

Chen Qingsheng and Lu Ping met at the rockery steps, smiled and saluted, and hurried to the pavilion.

"Big girl!" Chen Qingsheng saluted.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I should have reunited your family, but I have an important matter here to be done by someone I can trust, and I can only work hard for you!" She clenched her hand stove, her eyebrows lowered, and her voice hoarse.
