Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress

Chapter 729: Chapter 726: Justify Oneself_1

Bai Qingyan curled her lips, thinking about how Li Mingrui had mentioned surrendering last time, taking Liu Ruofu as a gift…

“Li Mingrui, openly claiming allegiance to our Bai family… but secretly planning to overthrow me! Intending to make me lose the Crown Prince’s trust…”

Bai Jinxiu listened, confused: “Eldest Young Lady, what do you mean?”

Bai Qingyan had roughly figured out the sequence of events, calmly explaining to Bai Jinxiu: “Li Mingrui ordered Wang Qiulu to guide Fu Ruoxi to witness him entering King Liang’s mansion. First, to test whether Fu Ruoxi was ours, and second, to get a witness… proving Wang Qiulu did go to King Liang’s mansion. Then he sent someone to inform me… suggesting that Wang Qiulu might betray us and have ties with King Liang, urging me to be wary of Wang Qiulu and King Liang.”

Bai Jinxiu was still somewhat puzzled. Bai Qingyan continued: “Today, someone from the Crown Prince’s mansion went to Du Residence in Jiuchuan Alley. An old man… wearing thick-soled deerskin boots, his position in the Crown Prince’s mansion must be significant. Coincidentally… I saw Elder Fang today, wearing a pair of thick-soled deerskin boots! Li Mingrui likely handed Wang Qiulu over to Elder Fang from the Crown Prince’s mansion! Elder Fang hates me to the core… even if it’s a setup, the act of saving Wang Qiulu would still fall on my shoulders!”
