Chapter 350 - 347: Competent Assistant_1
Eldest Princess and Mrs. Wang had a natural bond between them, Mrs. Wang was certain Bai Qingyan brought news of Ah Jue. Mrs. Wang rushed out of the house.
As soon as she reached the courtyard gate, she saw Bai Qingyan entering.
"Why are you outside, Auntie?" Bai Qingyan asked with a smile.
Mrs. Wang tightly held her Buddha beads: "I heard you were coming, so I came out to greet you. Lingyun, bring the freshly made goat milk crisps for the eldest young lady."
Nanny Guan lifted the curtain respectfully and invited Bai Qingyan inside. Cleverly, she stayed outside, letting Lingxiu bring two small embroidered stools and sat with Chun Tao under the veranda to discuss embroidery patterns.
Bai Qingyan and Mrs. Wang sat by the window on a soft couch. She handed the letter hidden in her chest to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang looked up at Bai Qingyan, her eyes red, her hand clutching the Buddha beads trembled. After a long while, she dared to put down the beads and reached out to take the letter, her throat tight.
As soon as her fingertips touched the letter, Mrs. Wang’s tears fell. She quickly dabbed them with a handkerchief, fearing they would wet the paper.
She opened the letter. There was only one sentence, but it was indeed Bai Qingjue’s handwriting.
Mrs. Wang clutched the handkerchief to her chest, biting her lip to keep herself from crying out loud, tears falling one after another. Her nose flared as she tried to open her eyes wide and look at Bai Qingyan, seemingly seeking confirmation if she had seen Bai Qingjue alive.
