Chapter 600 - Dongfang?
Chapter 600: Dongfang?
The lady sighed and said: “If my child is still alive, that child should be at your age.”
Bai Zhi’s heart trembled and couldn’t help but ask: “Is your child a boy or a girl? Why is your child gone?”
Cui’er’s complexion changed. This was her lady’s heartache. No one dared to mention it in front of their lady. She was about to reprimand him, but she heard her lady sigh and said: “It’s all over. Let’s not mention it.”
At this time, the entourage came with a doctor. They were relieved when they saw their lady awake. The Doctor said: “Madam, please get inside the carriage. It’s cold outside.”
Dongfang Wan nodded her head and said to Cui’er: “I am destined to meet this little doctor. You give them 10 silvers to help them and hope that their family can return home as soon as possible.”
Cui’er took 10 silver coins from the purse she carried with her and handed it to Bai Zhi: “Take this, just treat it as a doctor’s fee. Milady hopes you can go back home soon.”
Bai Zhi took the silvers, and suddenly, her heart felt sour. If the lady in front of her will not find an effective cure, she will die soon. Why can’t good people live long?
They all said that God has eyes, does he really have eyes?
If he has eyes, why does he let evil people walk around the world for a long time, but let good people live shortly?
When the lady got into the carriage and the curtain was about to fell. She looked at the lady’s eyes that were very similar to hers and watched it disappeared behind the curtain. The carriage moved slowly, and then she saw a wooden sign hanging on the shaft, engraved with the word ‘Dongfang’.
Dongfang? Is this a surname?
Zhao Lan and Hu Changlin walked over and asked Bai Zhi: “What disease did that lady have? Is it really hopeless?”
Bai Zhi sighed, she didn’t answer their question. Instead, she simply said: “We have money now. Let’s go to the inn. We haven’t taken a bath for days. We haven’t had a good sleep, nor eaten a good meal.”
They searched for a humble inn in the city. After all, such an inn was cheaper. They only have these 10 silver coins, they dare not to spend extravagantly. They want to save some of it.

In Qiyun Mountain.
When Dongfang Wan came back, she went straight to her room to rest. Dongfang Mu was very upset when she saw her daughter’s face. She pulled Cui’er to the side and asked: “What’s wrong with her? Why is her face so ugly?”
Cui’er narrated what happened on the street with reddened eyes.
Dongfang Mu was a good person. When he heard what happened, he immediately asked: “What did the little doctor say? You repeat it and say it carefully.”
Cui’er said: “The little doctor said that milady’s disease was not caused by a disease, but because there is something in her body that shouldn’t be there. In the beginning, she only has some minor disease, which didn’t hinder her everyday life, but after a long time, it becomes a serious disease, or more likely an incurable disease.”
Dongfang Mu repeated a sentence in his mind: Milady’s disease was not caused by a disease, but because there is something in her body that shouldn’t be there.
What is that ‘shouldn’t it be’?
Is it possible that Wan’er has been ill all these years, not because of a disease, but for other reasons?
Dongfang Mu’s face became gloomy, his hands behind his back had already been clenched into an iron fist. If this matter was related to Pei Qinghan, he will make sure Pei Qinghan die a bloody death.
Dongfang Mu said: “Is that little doctor still in the city?”
Cui’er shook her head: “I don’t know, they were refugees. When Milady saw them pitiful, she gave them 10 silver coins. She wanted to help them to go back home. I don’t know if they left.”
