Chapter 336 - 333: Handwriting_1
Chun Tao walked up to the Clan Leader with small steps, and after saluting, she took the house deed from his hand and handed it over to Mrs. Dong properly.
The Clan Leader’s face slightly reddened, probably not expecting Bai Qingyan to directly hand the deed to Mrs. Dong.
Seeing this, an elder hurriedly interjected in a fawning manner: "The Fifth Master is only temporarily staying at the ancestral home. By the time we set off... the Fifth Master had already moved out and cleaned up. Please be assured, Princess."
"Thank you, elders." Bai Qingyan nodded at the elders and slowly asked, "You all came in such haste. Grandma doesn’t know yet. Should we send someone to inform her?"
"We dare not disturb the Eldest Princess. We have matters in the clan to seek the Princess’s assistance!" After a brief exchange of glances with the elders, the Clan Leader said solemnly, "We hope that the Princess can speak a word to Magistrate Zhou of Shuoyang and ask him to release the clan’s cousins from prison."
Mrs. Dong raised her eyebrows. She understood why the clan had lowered their stance this time, unlike before when they acted high and mighty, trying to be on equal footing with Duke Bai Weiting. It turns out they needed a favor.
With lowered eyes, she sipped her tea, roughly guessing that it must have something to do with her daughter’s actions in Shuoyang.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan remained silent, tapping her fingers on the table, an elder, fearing she might refuse, hurriedly said, "Half of our clan’s descendants were arrested, causing panic within the clan. We rushed to Dadu to beg the Princess to speak with Magistrate Zhou! As long as the Princess speaks to Magistrate Zhou, he wouldn’t dare keep the clan’s children detained."
