Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress

Chapter 677: Chapter 674: Thinking of You_1

Bai Jinxiu did not chatter with the Eldest Princess any longer. She paid her respects, then hurriedly took Cuibi and rushed to Qinghui Courtyard.

As she lifted the curtain and stepped through the door, she saw her eldest sister sitting by the window on a soft divan, sipping almond milk. Bai Jinxiu had expected her to be on her deathbed, but she was far from it.

On the small table beside her was a lamp covered by a crystal shade and an ancient book. Her eldest sister’s dark hair was casually pinned up with a wooden hairpin, free of any jewels, and she appeared calm. She used a small silver spoon to bring some almond milk to her lips. Bai Jinxiu, seeing that her sister showed no signs of severe illness, finally felt at ease.

“Big Sister…” Bai Jinxiu paid her respects before walking to Bai Qingyan’s side. She adjusted the fine woolen blanket covering Bai Qingyan’s legs and then sat down beside her, handing her a silk handkerchief after she finished drinking the almond milk. “You scared me to death, Big Sister!”

“Didn’t I send someone to tell you not to worry?” Bai Qingyan said with a smile, taking the handkerchief to dab at the corners of her mouth. She looked at Bai Jinxiu. “Why did you leave Wang Geer and come back?”

“If I hadn’t come back, I wouldn’t have known that Little Four had managed to figure everything out so quickly,” Bai Jinxiu replied, referring to the matter of the military grain for the Northern Frontier.
