Chapter 666 - 663: Fourth Uncle’s Jade Pendant_1
Bai Qingyan went out to meet Wang Jianghai in the prison. She ordered everyone in the household not to leak any information, especially not to let the Eldest Princess and the second madam, Mrs. Liu, know.
Chun Tao helped Bai Qingyan into the carriage. She originally wanted to go along, but the eldest young lady instructed her to find Bai Jinzhi instead. Chun Tao could only repeatedly remind the eldest young lady to be careful, with tears in her eyes as she watched the carriage go far.
Inside the carriage, Bai Qingyan, pale and bloodless, closed her eyes, fingers rubbing her fourth uncle’s jade pendant, with red, moist eyes.
She would rather that Wang Jianghai told her that her fourth uncle was still alive, kept by King Xian or imprisoned by Wang Jianghai as a reserve force.
She would rather Wang Jianghai use her fourth uncle to threaten her into doing anything, anything at all!
As long as... her fourth uncle was still alive.
Grandfather must bless it. Her fourth uncle must still be alive!
As long as her fourth uncle was alive, and came to play chess with her again, she would never again disdain her uncle’s poor chess skills and refuse to play with him. She would be patient and play chess with him, definitely... let him happily win once.
Bai Qingyan’s carriage moved slowly, while Lu Ping rode ahead to arrange things at the prison. By the time Bai Qingyan arrived, Lu Ping was already waiting at the prison gate.
Two lonely paper lanterns swayed with the wind before the prison gate. The dim light made the old and new prison gate appear even more eerie.
