Chapter 699 - 696: Taking Qiao_1
"Back to the Eldest Daughter, it’s the Clan Leader himself who brought people here. I guess it’s because he heard that the Eldest Daughter invited the Governor and Magistrate Zhou to our mansion, so he was coerced by the Bai Clan’s people to come over!"
When Steward Hao received the report from the gatekeeper and went out to take a look, he saw that the sedan bearers were sweating profusely in this weather, standing aside wiping their faces with sweat cloths. This showed how urgent the situation was. Even so, there were still people grumbling that the Clan Leader’s changing clothes delayed the time.
"Accept the gifts and send them directly to Bai Qingping, let him use them for the training and bandit suppression. This way, it counts as the Bai Clan contributing to the effort." Bai Qingyan put the teacup aside, gently covered her chest with her hand, and stood up holding Chun Tao’s hand. "Let them go back. Just say I’m seriously injured and really not suitable for meeting guests."
"Yes!" Steward Hao responded and left the main hall to deliver the message personally.
Bai Qihe, the Clan Leader of the Bai Clan, was anxiously waiting outside.
Early this morning, clan members came to block the Clan Leader’s house. They wanted him to bring them to deliver birthday gifts to the Princess of Zhen. Bai Qihe was initially unwilling to come, claiming that considering the Princess of Zhen’s heavy injury, sending someone to deliver the gifts to the Bai Mansion would be enough to convey their sentiments.
Who would have thought the clan members gathered at the Clan Leader’s home, all vying to represent the Bai Clan to deliver the gifts themselves, unwilling to back down, causing a commotion at Bai Qihe’s place.
They all believed that since Bai Qingyan saved the Crown Prince’s life this time, her status with the Crown Prince would become even more extraordinary. If Bai Qingyan could promote the younger generation in the clan, the Bai Clan could once again achieve glory.
