Chapter 259: Benefactor

"Miss, have you prepared the hot water for bathing?! Chun Xing... Miss will change clothes soon, are you ready?!"

Chun Xing covered her mouth and laughed straight: "Don't worry, Mommy, Sister Chuntao is ready!"

Chuntao called a little girl over to stare at the bird's nest, then she came out of the small kitchen, "I'll go see how the bathing water is."

Not long after, Mrs. Dong sent Bai Qingyan, who was dressed in military uniform, into the gate of Qinghuiyuan.

Nanny Tong led the maidservants of Qinghui Courtyard to stand in the Qinghui Courtyard. When she saw Bai Qingyan, she hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Congratulations to the eldest girl for her triumphant and safe return!"

Chuntao looked at the big girl in armor, her eyes were sore, and tears fell down her eyes.

Bai Qingyan looked at the familiar faces all over the yard, with a smile on his brows: "The days when I'm not here, the hard-working mother and everyone are guarding Qinghuiyuan!"

Dong wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and there was a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows: "Okay, go and wash up."

Chuntao hurriedly stepped forward to take the sun-shooting bow from Bai Qingyan's body: "Miss, the water is ready, and this servant will wait for you to take a bath!"

She shook Chuntao's hand and nodded with a smile.

Chuntao waited for Bai Qingyan to take a bath, and when she saw Bai Qingyan's injuries, her tears seemed to be broken, but because Mrs. Dong was sitting outside, Chuntao was afraid that she would make Mrs. Dong sad, so she bit her lower lip and remained silent. Wait for Bai Qingyan to take a bath.

After bathing, Mrs. Dong twisted Bai Qingyan's hair in person, and whispered to her daughter about the affairs of the court: "Your uncle said that the burning and killing of 100,000 prisoners in Xiliang in the First World War in Southern Xinjiang... Somebody wanted the emperor to punish you severely, but the emperor kept the papers, your uncle was afraid that the emperor was trying to punish you after you came back, so he sent someone to tell you to be careful."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I know it well." Bai Qingyan held her mother's hand and turned to look at Dong Shi, "My daughter is unfilial, and Auntie is worried!"

Dong Shi smiled with red eyes, and raised her hand to put her daughter in her arms: "If your father knows that A Bao protects the people living in the frontier, he will be proud of A Bao, and A Niang... is also proud of A Bao !"

Her eyes were red, she gently wrapped her arms around her mother's waist, and rubbed against her mother's arms like a child: "My mother, I'm sorry. When I was in southern Xinjiang... Ah Bao really planned to take my father home after a big victory , but Ah Bao thought... Dad has always cared about the border people all his life, so he, Xiao Si and the generals of the Bai family army quietly buried Dad at Tianmen Pass."

Dong Shi nodded, she understood: "My mother knows! Compared with being buried in the capital city, your father definitely wants to protect the border people of Dajin at the border. My mother understands..."

"Okay, get a good night's sleep after your hair is dry! At noon, my mother will hold a banquet in Huahua to welcome you and Xiaosi." Dong smiled lightly.

After Mrs. Dong left, Bai Qingyan sat in front of the bronze mirror and said to Chuntao who was making the bed: "Chuntao, send someone to ask Uncle Ping to come over in half an hour. I have something to ask."

Chuntao put down her work and turned around: "Don't you want to sleep for a while, Miss?"

"I'm going to see my fourth aunt." Bai Qing said.

While twisting Bai Qingyan's hair, Tong Nanny looked at Bai Qingyan in the mirror and said, "Although the eldest girl is getting darker and thinner, she looks better than before!"

"That's right! Doctor Hong also said that it might not be right for me to rest before! So...you know it's not a blessing if you lose your horse." There was a slight smile between her brows.

After the hair was dry, Nanny Tong tied Bai Qingyan's thick black hair into a crescent bun and fixed it with a white jade hairpin. Bai Qingyan was still in filial piety, and changed into a plain white skirt wrapped in silver and edging, covered with a layer of crescent white semi-transparent silk gauze as thin as a clear mist, on which ginkgo leaves were outlined and embroidered with gold and silver thread , shining in the light.

Bai Qingyan, who had changed back into her daughter's attire, lost a little of the heroic spirit of the military uniform between her brows, and added a little more of a woman's luxurious and soft charm.

"Miss, Lu Ping Nursing House is already waiting outside the courtyard." Chuntao opened the curtain and came in.

It was the end of March, and the weather was getting warmer. Bai Qingyan looked at the burning brazier in the room, and said, "Mommy, ask someone to remove the brazier."

"Hey!" Nanny Tong responded with a smile.

Bai Qingyan supported Chuntao's hand and stepped out of the courtyard, Lu Ping stepped forward to salute: "Miss."

"Uncle Ping said as he walked..."

"Yes!" Lu Ping nodded, following half a step behind Bai Qingyan.

"How is Ji Tingyu?" Bai Qingyan asked.

Lu Ping pursed his lips, held the sword around his waist tightly, and said in a low voice: "Ji Tingyu knew the news of the tragic death of his new wife, so he left Bai's house that night, saying that he would go back to Zhuangzi to worship his wife, but he never came back. I personally I went there and told Ji Tingyu that Miss Ji Tingyu had dealt with the concubine in order to fight for justice for their husband and wife, but Ji Tingyu still didn't want to come back to Bai's house."

Bai Qingyan paused, closed her eyes, and walked forward.

The Bai family still chilled Ji Tingyu's heart.

"How is Ji Tingyu's health? The doctor didn't say how much he recovered?"

"But all poisons are harmful to the body. It is impossible to fully recover to the way it was before. Fortunately, Ji Tingyu is young. If he wants to recover well, he needs to take good care of him for a few years..."

She nodded: "I just came back with a lot of things. I will go to see Ji Tingyu in person in two days, so that someone can take good care of Ji Tingyu's life."

Ji Tingyu is a benefactor who sacrificed his life for the Bai family, and he shouldn't have ended up like this.

Lupine nodded: "Ma'am also ordered so, don't worry, Miss."

There will be a banquet in the emperor's palace tomorrow, and the emperor's birthday will be next, but Ji Tingyu and Bai Qingyan still want to find time to meet in person.

Lingyun, the eldest girl serving the Fourth Madam, had just returned from the kitchen to bring the Fourth Madam stewed pears with rock sugar, when she saw Bai Qingyan from a distance, who seemed to be heading towards their Lishui Garden, she hurriedly went back to the yard, closed the curtain and entered the Nuan Pavilion to report Grandma Guan: "Mommy, the eldest girl is coming to our Lishui Garden."

As soon as Nanny Guan arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Bai Qingyan had already arrived with Chuntao, she turned her head and told Lingyun: "Hurry up and report to the Fourth Madam, the eldest girl is here..."

"Yes!" Lingyun responded and left.

Guan Yu took a few steps forward: "The eldest girl just came back, why don't you take a rest?"

Bai Qingyan smiled at Madam Guan: "Where is Fourth Aunt?"

Nanny Guan led the way, and when talking about the Fourth Madam, she was a little worried: "The Fourth Madam has a slight cough recently, but she refused to take medicine, so the old slave ordered Lingyun to go to the kitchen to get rock sugar stewed pears and come back. Ready to use."

Ling Yun, who had already notified the fourth wife, stood at the door, greeted Bai Qing with words and deeds, and then opened the curtain: "Please, young lady."

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the fourth aunt wearing a light green dress embroidered with clouds and water patterns, sitting on a mahogany soft couch by the window, leaning on a small square table of golden nanmu wood, through the jade screen with a hundred birds and lotus patterns. There is a thin quilt embroidered with diamond patterns on the legs.

Fourth Mrs. Wang's cheeks were thin, her deeply sunken eye sockets were circled with obvious bruises, and her spirit was obviously weak.
