Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 929

Chapter 929: Chapter 926: Glory Returns to the Capital

Mrs. Liu was trembling uncontrollably, her heart, which had been lifeless, rekindled with hope because of Bai Qingjue’s return.

She remembered how King Yan of Xiliang, Li Zhijie, once deceived Kid and Xiao Si with news of A Qiong; could it be that... A Qiong is truly alive?

Mrs. Liu suddenly recalled the edict from Bai Qingyan... summoning the surviving members of the Bai family and the Bai army to witness the enthronement ceremony during the Xuanjia period. She firmly believed... if A Qiong and the others were still alive, they would surely return!

Their eldest sister was ascending the throne, altering the world... Today, in the Zhou Dynasty, no one can harm the Bai family anymore, and they can all return honorably!

Mrs. Liu didn’t know why, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but want to cry aloud.

The news that year of all the Bai family men dying in the southern frontier was brought back, she never imagined the Bai family would come to this point today...

Mrs. Liu looked towards Bai Qingyan, whose back was straight, feeling deeply moved. What great effort and what kind of determination must it take... to achieve the Bai family’s current glory? Just the thought of it exhausted her emotionally. How had Kid, with her frail body, managed to hold it all together?

Mrs. Liu remembered when Bai Jinxiu said privately with her eldest sister-in-law Mrs. Dong upon returning to Shuoyang, that someday... the eldest sister would certainly restore the Bai family’s honor. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Mrs. Liu’s gaze fell on the glowing armor of the imperial guards standing on either side of the long street, and then to the cavalry slowly approaching under the escort of the great army in the distance.

Now the Bai family has indeed been gloriously restored, with a glory that can be added to without bounds.

Speaking of vows, Mrs. Liu suddenly thought of her husband Bai Qiying. When her father-in-law wanted to take all the children to the battlefield, Mrs. Liu disagreed... at that time, her husband had told her... the Bai family values promises, and any promise made will be fulfilled. Even on the battlefield, he would sacrifice his life to ensure the children’s safe return.

That was probably the only time her husband broke his promise to her, and this broken promise... was due to their separation by life and death.

In a moment of distraction, Mrs. Liu saw that the convoy had arrived, and she forcefully suppressed the urge to cry out loud, gripping Nanny Luo’s fingers until they turned white.

Bai Jinse couldn’t help but shout: "Seventh Brother!"

Riding high on horseback, Bai Qingjue saw his eldest sister and second sister... seeing his second aunt, seeing his seventh sister whose smile was even more sorrowful than crying, he dismounted.

"Eldest Sister..." Bai Jinhua followed and dismounted, clad in military attire, looking heroic and spirited.

Bai Jinzhao, too, was full of youthful vigor, clasping his fist towards Bai Qingyan: "Eldest Sister..."

In the blink of an eye, even Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu had grown up enough to wear armor... leading troops in Shuoyang City to resist incoming enemies.

Bai Qingjue looked up at the black lacquered and gold-plated plaque hanging over the Bai Mansion, kneeling on one knee, saluting Mrs. Liu and Bai Qingyan, Bai Jinxiu: "Second Aunt, Eldest Sister... Second Sister, the seventh son of the Bai family, Bai Qingjue... returns safely!"

A sour emotion instantly surged in Bai Qingyan’s heart, bringing her to tears.

The words "returns safely" were what the Bai family most longed to hear. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Mrs. Liu could no longer hold her emotions, clutching tightly at her clothes and wailing. She was happy... extremely happy, but she would be even happier if her children could return. She would willingly trade twenty years of her life for this phrase from them... "returns safely."
