When the caravan stopped outside the Dongfang Mansion, everyone got out of the carriage and went straight inside the house. Bai Zhi was pulled to the side by Dongfang Mu and asked in a low voice: “Can’t we tell her now?”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “Wait for 2 more days.”

Dongfang Mu said anxiously: “But if Pei Qinghan sends that girl to our door. Wan’er wouldn’t be able to hold her emotion. She may be even cheated by that Pei Qinghan again.”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, her lady is not as fragile as you think. She is strong and smart. I believe she will not be deceived by his lies.”

She raised her eyes and stared at Dongfang Mu: “Grandfather, haven’t you seen the power of your bloodline? If she is not from your family, then don’t let her be part of your family. The truth is the truth. The fake is fake. I’m sure she can tell the difference.”

Dongfang Mu was relieved and said cheerfully: “You are right. My Wan’er is strong and smart. Pei Qinghan’s little tricks can’t deceive her.”

2 hours later, the carriage of Changyuan Houfu arrived. Pei Qinghan got out of the carriage with a swollen face and a gloomy expression. In the other carriage, Bai Zhenzhu was helped to come down.

Pei Qinghan walked to Bai Zhenzhu and whispered: “You should behave well. It’s best to coax her to go back home with you. Do you understand?”

Bai Zhenzhu busily nodded her head. In front of Pei Qinghan, she always got nervous. She didn’t even dare to show too much presence.

Pei Qinghan frowned. Looking at her, she looked a bit like a daughter for Chaungyuan Houfu, but he was still annoyed.

He didn’t say another word, he turned to enter the gate.

The little guard at the gate stopped him: “Daren, who are you looking for?”

Pei Qinghan’s eyes widened in disbelief: “You don’t know me?”

The little guard shook his head and simply said: “I don’t know!”

Pei Qinghan’s face turned cold. He is the son-in-law of the Dongfang Family. But now that he was entering their door, he was stopped by a little guard?

San Fu hurriedly said, “Keep your dog eyes wide open, this is the Master of Changyuan Houfu, and also the son-in-law of your Dongfang family. Aren’t you still letting him get inside?”

The little guard refused to give up, he said with a helpless look: “I’m sorry, the master ordered me that anyone who wants to come must be reported to him first. No one can enter without his permission, even if it’s the emperor.”

Pei Qinghan felt his face hurt even more as if he was severely slapped.

Bai Zhenzhu was a little dumbfounded. This mansion doesn’t look as grand as Houfu, but the people living in it were more arrogant. They didn’t even allow the dignified Houye to enter casually… …

After waiting for half an hour, just when Pei Qinghan’s patience was about to be exhausted, the little guard who went to report came back, then he said to Pei Qinghan: “Daren, young miss, please come in.”

Pei Qinghan coldly snorted and glared at the little guard. Even knowing that this matter has nothing to do with him, he couldn’t help but be angry. Besides, aside from the little guard, who else can report inside?

Pei Qinghan led Bai Zhenzhu inside the mansion, and under the guidance of the servants, they went straight to the front hall.

Although the mansion of Dongfang Family was as not as spacious as the Houfu, it was very elegant and chic everywhere. At first glance, it can be seen they were not an ordinary family.

In the front hall, Dongfang Mu was sitting in the main seat and drinking hot tea. Dongfang Wan was sitting in the lower right side, she was stretching her neck to look outside. When she saw that Pei Qinghan had brought the girl over, she was thinking about getting up. However, Dongfang Mu busily cough with deep meaning, so she sat down again.

Pei Qinghan brought Bai Zhenzhu and forced a smile on his aching face.

“Yan’er, hurry up and greet your grandfather and your mother.” Pei Qinghan pulled Bai Zhenzhu forward.
