At this time, the housekeeper called from outside: “An hour had passed, let’s go.”

Mrs. Zhang got up and looked at Bai Zhenzhu who was still kneeling on the ground, feeling very disappointed.

But after all, she was her daughter. The flesh that fell from her body. No matter how disappointed she was, she will still feel sorry for her.

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said: “I will go and beg her. If she is willing to help you, that would be the best. I will come back and pick you up. But if she is unwilling, I will not force her. At that time, I won’t come again. Zhenzhu, if mother doesn’t come back, you have to take care of yourself.”

This sentence was very difficult to say, but she still said it in the end.

Her heavy heart suddenly relaxed a lot. What she originally thought to be difficult, turned out to be not so difficult when it was done.

Perseverance and abandonment were just a matter of thought.

She can’t leave another child to have any way to live for the sake of one child.

Bai Zhenzhu watched the backs of her parents and younger brother gradually disappear into the laundry area, with unprecedented fear in her heart. As if at this moment, she had lost something very important.

The look in her mother’s eyes when she was leaving seemed a little weird. What did that look in her eyes meant?

When Mrs. Zhang left, she met Pei Qinghan in the garden.

Pei Qinghan seemed to be passing by the garden and waiting here.

“Have you seen her?” He asked Mrs. Zhang and Bai Erzhu.

Bai Erzhu nodded: “We have seen her.”

“What did you talk about?” Pei Qinghan asked again.

Bai Erzhu looked at Mrs. Zhang sideways, not daring to make a sound.

Mrs. Zhang looked up and stared sharply at Pei Qinghan: “What did we talk about? Houye, don’t you know?”

Pei Qinghan slightly smiled and said, “You are much smarter than your daughter, but unfortunately, your daughter didn’t inherit your advantages.” He paused and asked again: “Did Bai Zhi let you come here?”

Mrs. Zhang nodded her head: “Yes, we met on the street. She is treating the people in the street for free.”

Pei Qinghan naturally knew about this. To see his daughter, he sneaked several times.

“What else did she say?” Pei Qinghan asked.

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and said with a clear conscience, “She said you let go of Zhenzhu.”

Pei Qinghan didn’t believe it. If there was such a thing, why didn’t she say it earlier? Why wait until now?

“How can I believe you?” He said in a low voice.

Mrs. Zhang quickly took out the golden hairpin that Bai Zhi had given to her, and handed it to Pei Qinghan: “This, this is the token Bai Zhi took from her head personally.”

It was a very simple gold hairpin. Although it was simple, it revealed a low-key gorgeousness. Pei Qinghan knew that all the aristocratic families in the capital have jewelry styles specially made for them.

The Dongfang Family was no exception.

The specially made gold ornaments for them will have their family crest. This was the case for their Pei Family, and so the Dongfang Family.

He looked all the side of the hairpin, and sure enough, under the golden flower on the head of the hairpin, he found the mark of the Dongfang family.

In the past, Dongfang Wan’s accessories had such marks on them. He was very familiar with them.

“It’s hers, but I still don’t believe that she’ll let me release Bai Zhenzhu.” Although he has never gotten along with Bai Zhi, according to her attitude towards him, this child must be a person that hates evil. How could she easily forgive someone who once pretended to be her and wanted to kill her?

“I don’t believe it. If she wants me to release Bai Zhenzhu, she can come to Changyuan Houfu anytime. As long as she said a word in front of me, I will release people.”
