Pei Qinghan endured the pain he felt on his face and body, then pushed his subordinates away. He gritted his teeth and bowed to Dongfang Mu: “Father-in-law, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

Dongfang Mu raised an eyebrow: “You are waiting for me? Why are you waiting for me?” Dongfang Mu asked, but inside his heart, he wanted to see how he will tell a big lie.

Pei Qinghan replied: “Father-in-law, you have been away from the capital for a long time, so there are some things you don’t know. Originally, I planned to take Xiayan to Qiyun Mountain but I received a message that you will return to the capital for the New Year, so I waited here every day.”

Dongfangmu asked: “Who is Xiayan you’re talking about?”

The carriage that followed behind Dongfang Mu stopped. Dongfang Wan, who was sitting in the carriage with closed eyes and resting, immediately opened her eyes when she heard the word ‘Xiayan’.

Xiayan? Pei Xiayan? That was her daughter’s name. The name she mentioned to Pei Qingyan when she gave birth to her baby that day.

At that time, Pei Qinghan still liked this child very much and treated her very kindly, but she doesn’t know why, a few moments later, he became like a different person. He didn’t come to see her nor the child.

The child was born prematurely, her body was weak, and died soon afterward. At the same time, she was ill, so she couldn’t take care of her.

She hadn’t mentioned the name Xiayan in more than 10 years and had never heard of it in Pei Qinghan’s mouth.

Pei Qinghan faced Dongfang Mu, but his eyes were staring at the carriage behind him: “Xiayan is my child and Wan’er. 13 years ago, I thought the child had died. I was heartbroken, so I asked someone to buried the child. I always thought the child had died until I met the servant who was responsible for the burial, and learned that she was still alive. He said he didn’t want to get in trouble, so he gave away the child. I tracked it until the end and found the child. She came back recently in Changyuan Houfu.”

Dongfang Wan walked out of the carriage and stood on the frame, she stared at Pei Qinghan and said: “What did you say? You say it again!”

Pei Qinghan was a little surprised. Dongfang Wan’s appearance looked very different from the last time he saw her. Her pale and thin cheeks were now full again.

Dongfang Mu busily said: “Wan’er, don’t get too excited. Doctor Bai said, your body can’t be excited at the moment. You must be calm, do you understand?” He regretted it now. He shouldn’t have stopped in here. After kicking Pei Qinghan, he should have moved forward. After being stimulated by Pei Qinghan’s words, she may have to face any consequences.

Dongfang Wan took a deep breath and let her beating heart slowly calmed down. Her father was right. She couldn’t be excited, she couldn’t be too excited, she just recovered, she should lose herself again.

After calming down, Dongfang Wan asked Pei Qinghan again: “Say it, make it clear.”

Pei Qinghan said: “Wan’er, our daughter is not dead. She is still alive. I have found her. She is in our house now. If you want to see her, you can go back with me now.”

Dongfang Mu busily said: “She doesn’t need to go to your house to see the child. We will go back to Dongfang Mansion. You send someone to send the child in there. I will see whether she has the bloodline of our Dongfang Family.”

Pei Qinghan frowned. He didn’t expect Dongfang Mu to be so calm, and his words were quite meaningful. As if he had determined that this Xiayan was a fake.
