She also felt that Doctor Bai was like a member of their Dongfang Family. He easily got close to them, as if he was naturally born like that.
Even Cui’er, who was close to them, became also very close to Doctor Bai.
How good would it be if he lives with them all the time, right?
“Milady, it’s time to take your medicine.” Cui’er took a pill in her hand and held a teacup on her other hand. Taking advantage of this moment where the carriage stopped, she quickly took out the medicine.
Dongfang Wan used to hate taking medicine the most. She was annoyed whenever she saw medicine. For her to take her medicine, Bai Zhi deliberately made her medicine into a pill. However, she didn’t know what he added and she made the medicine less unpalatable. And so, she doesn’t resist taking medicine at all now.
After swallowing the pill, Dongfang Wan said to Cui’er: “If Doctor Bai could stay with us like this forever, it would be great!”
Cui’er smiled and said: “He will naturally stay with Milady, you don’t have to worry.”
Dongfang Wan’s eyes lit up: “Is this what he said?”
Cui’er shook her head: “He didn’t say it, but I am sure he will. There is no need to say it.”
Dongfang Wan looked disappointed: “Silly girl, don’t talk nonsense. What are you saying? If my illness is cured, he will naturally leave and return to his hometown. Why would he stay with us all the time? Didn’t he said that he has two shops in the two left unattended?”
Cui’er pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. How could those two shops be more important than her mother? However, she endured not to say these words. Or more like, she doesn’t dare to say it.

At the capital’s gate, Pei Qinghan has been waiting for a long time. 3 days ago, he received news that Dongfang Mu had left Qiyun Mountain with Dongfang Wan to come to the capital.
He has been waiting here for the past 3 days.
“Master, it’s been 3 days, did they change their mind to come to the capital?” San Fu, who was standing beside Pei Qinghan said.
Pei Qinghan shook his head: “No, they will definitely come. The emperor must have told him about Pei Xiayan. If he knows that I have found Pei Xiayan, can he not come?”
San Fu nodded his head: “That’s true. Their Dongfang family only has this bloodline left. Naturally, they will attach great importance to her.”
Thinking of Dongfang Wan’s sick appearance, Pei Qinghan frowned. He felt flustered and had mixed emotions.
The next moment, someone came to report: “Houye, the caravan from the Dongfang Family is here.”
Pei Qinghan’s closed eyes opened immediately. He got out of the carriage quickly, stood in the most conspicuous place at the capital’s gate, and watched the distant convoy approaching their way.
The one leading the caravan was Dongfang Mu. He was riding fast at the front, so he was the first one who saw Pei Qinghan.
Dongfang Mu sneered: “Boy, it’s you who deliver yourself to me.”
He pretended not to see Pei Qinghan, as his horse continued galloping very fast. When he rushed to Pei Qinghan, he suddenly pulled the reins. The horse raised its front hoof and neighed, and the horse’s iron-clad hit Pei Qinghan’s cheek, making him fall to the ground.
After Pei Qinghan was lifted by his subordinates, he spat out a mouthful of blood and two big teeth. He couldn’t speak in pain.
Dongfang Mu said: ”Oh, isn’t this the son-in-law of our Dongfang family? I saw someone standing here from the distance, but I thought it’s just vegetable seller waiting for someone.”
Pei Qinghan was about to vomit blood again. He, he did it deliberately.
But what can he say? He was Dongfang Mu. Don’t say he was Pei Qinghan. Because even when Dongfang Mu was in the palace, because of his virtue, even the emperor can’t control him.
