If Pei Qinghan doesn’t give up on Dongfang Wan’er, he would never look at her even once.

Therefore, she took the risk and did such a thing. Even she herself didn’t expect that things would go so smoothly.

Not long after, she got everything she wanted. She got Pei Qinghan’s favor. Her status in the Houfu became high. She and Pei Qinghan had a child. Also, she had the prosperous and wealthy life she always wanted. Everything came too easy. It was so easy for her that she gradually began to be proud and forget what identity she used to be. Once she lost Pei Qinghan’s favor, she would have nothing.

Just like now!

When Pei Qinghan came in, there was only Song Hexiang in the room. He couldn’t help but frown and asked: “Where is the wicked midwife?”

The woman outside hurriedly said, “The old midwife had a serious illness a few days ago, and was left with one breath. Seeing that she will not survive, the housekeeper asked her family to pick her up.”

Pei Qinghan nodded his head. The housekeeper seemed to have mentioned this. He was groggy at the time, so he didn’t ask more. Since he wouldn’t live long, then it was alright. That midwife was not the main culprit.

Only then did Pei Qinghan looked at Song Hexiang. Song Hexiang knelt in front of him and looked at him affectionately with tearful eyes. Although her hair was messy, it didn’t look dirty, and her clothes were newly changed. Behind her, there was also thick cotton and a tray with leftover meals. It seems that her meals were not bad at all. No wonder her complexion was almost the same as before. She doesn’t look haggard from being locked up here.

“It seems that you gave birth to a good daughter. She gave you a lot of things.”

Song Hexiang knelt two steps further, narrowing the distance between her and Pei Qinghan, then showed a pitiful look: “Houye, this concubine knows that she is wrong. This concubine has committed a great mistake. Although Houye punished me, I didn’t have complained in my heart. But Houye, this concubine has been following you all these years and has always been single-minded. In my eyes and my heart, there is only Houye. If Houye no longer wants me, I might as well die now. There is no reason to live anymore.”

Pei Qinghan took two steps backward as his heart felt in pain more and more: “My Wan’er, she was also single-minded to me at the beginning. She gave birth to a child for me. After a day and night of pain, she finally gave birth to our child. But you, you poisonous woman, you said those irresponsible remarks in front of me, which hurt my heart—”

He choked. Whenever he thought about the things of that year, his guilt completely overwhelmed him. His heartache made it difficult for him to breathe.

Song Hexiang’s heart also hurt. She didn’t expect that Pei Qinghan, who had hated Dongfang Wan for more than 10 years, actually really didn’t hate her. But because he loved too deeply, his hatred became too deep. Now that the misunderstanding was solved. How much he hated Dongfang Wan that time, he hated Song Hexiang even more. Not because he suffered, but simply because of hate.

“Come, send this wicked woman to the Zhuangzi. She will never come back.” Pei Qinghan said in a cold voice. And without looking at Song Hexiang again, he turned around and left.

Song Hexiang rushed forward and hugged his leg tightly: “No, no, Houye, I can’t live without you, and I can’t live without Chen’er. Houye, please, I have given birth to Chen’er. So please spare me this time, I am going to apologize to madam. I will kowtow to her and ask for her forgiveness. I will beg her to come back. As long as you don’t drive me away, I’m willing to do anything. I’ll be her maid, I’ll wash her feet with water, and let her beat or scold me.”
