Concubine Xiang was very reluctant. She thought Dongfang Wan would wave her hand indifferently like usual, and just let her disappear immediately. She doesn’t care whether she was polite or not.

But today’s situation was different. Dongfang Wan didn’t let her disappear immediately but stood quietly at the door while staring at her with beautiful her eyes. As if she was waiting for something.

Concubine Xiang’s eyes rolled. She stretched out her hand to push Bai Zhenzhu beside her and dryly smiled: “Eldest Young Miss, the madam is here, why aren’t you saying hello?”

Bai Zhenzhu couldn’t wait to dig a hole and bury herself. She was afraid something might happen. She couldn’t lift her head in front of Dongfang Wan. She felt guilty inside her heart. Originally, she wanted to hide behind Concubine Xiang, but she pushed her out… …

Bai Zhenzhu walked closed to Dongfang Wan and called ‘mother’ while twisting her hands timidly.

Dongfang Wan faintly swept her eyes across Bai Zhenzhu and coldly said: “I dare not!”

I dare not?

What does it mean? Bai Zhenzhu was stunned, but then she turned her head to look at Concubine Xiang and asked her for help with her eyes.

Concubine Xiang also felt strange. Didn’t this woman also become crazy thinking about her daughter? So why not that her daughter was standing in front of her, she didn’t react at all? Why did she say she didn’t dare?

Concubine Xiang took a few steps forward and said to Dongfang Wan: “Madam, she is the eldest young miss that Houye brought back. She is your flesh and your blood.”

Dongfang Wan shook her head: “She is not my daughter. If she is my daughter, why would she mix with my enemy?”

Enemy, what enemy?

Bai Zhenzhu was dumbfounded. Who is her enemy? Concubine Xiang?

But she doesn’t know anything!

Concubine Xiang laughed: “Elder sister you must be joking. Who is your enemy? Don’t say such a thing here, and let people hear us a joke.”

Dongfang Wan coldly snorted and looked at Concubine Xiang even colder. Concubine Xiang felt like her coldly eyes were like a knife cutting her flesh, revealing her original self.

“Today is a happy event for me. So I will not dispute with you for the time being. But you better remember this, all the losses and grievances I suffered, I will make you pay for it double.”

After saying those words, she turned around and went out, leaving Concubine Xiang dumbfounded.

When Dongfang Wan came out, she saw Bai Zhi and others standing outside, without intention to go in. So she asked, “Aren’t you going to see Bai Zhenzhu?”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “The higher you climb, the more painful you will fall. Let her climb higher and higher so that she will know how it tastes to fell from the clouds to the mud.”

Dongfang Wan smiled and took her hand: “It’s all up to you. Okay, let’s choose some fabrics. It will be Chinese New Year soon. We have to wear new clothes.”

Under the guidance of the staff, their group entered the largest VIP room. The staff kept bringing the latest fabrics from the store into the VIP room. Several embroiderers and tailors went to give them measurements non-stop.

Concubine Xiang and Bai Zhenzhu, who was in the other VIP room, no longer have the heart to continue buying fabric.

Pei Xiachen pulled her mother’s sleeve and asked in a low voice: “Niang, didn’t you say that Dongfang Wan can’t live long? Why she doesn’t look sick at all?”

Concubine Xiang frowned and said: “I am also wondering about this. Her body and bones have indeed reached its limit. But who would have thought that things will change after a month? Did Dongfang Mu found a genius doctor to treat her?”
