Chapter 649: How can she be calm?
“Father-in-law, what do you mean by that? What are you doubting about?” Pei Qinghan asked.
Dongfang Mu replied: “I’m not doubting anything. It’s just, this happened so suddenly, and at such a coincidence. I have to more cautious.” He said to Pei Qinghan. Dongfang Wan also heard her father’s words. Right, she shouldn’t get too excited and think about it carefully.
Dongfang Wan understood her father’s intentions. Coupled with her disappointment and distrust of Pei Qinghan, at this time, she shouldn’t believe his words easily.
What’s more, Prince Jin was back. Pei Qinghan found the child was a bit too coincidental.
Her fired up heart gradually cooled down, but there was still a glimmer of hope. She said: “Just do as what my father said. Let’s go back to Dongfang Mansion first. You send someone to bring Xiayan over there.”
After speaking, Dongfang Wan turned and returned inside the carriage.
Pei Qinghan became more confused. What was this situation?
Doesn’t Dongfang Wan miss her daughter day and night? Why now that he said her daughter was back, she didn’t rush back to Changyuan Houfu as expected?
Dongfang Mu was very satisfied with his daughter’s performance. He looked at Pei Qinghan proudly and coldly said: “Pei Qinghan, you should know my temperament. The thing I hate the most in my life is someone trying to fool me. Whoever tried to fool me didn’t have any good end.”
Pei Qinghan felt his swollen cheeks became more painful. His hands clenched into fists under his sleeves shooked constantly.
Dongfang Mu walked away, followed by three carriages. When the middle carriage passed by Pei Qinghan, a gust of wind blew the carriage curtain. He looked at a person with eyes almost the same as Dongfang Wan. That person also looked at him. That person’s eyes were cold and sharp just like a knife.
Pei Qinghan’s heart trembled. Even his body couldn’t help but tremble. He took a step back in a hurry as if he saw some terrible monster.
“Houye, what’s wrong with you?” San Fu hurriedly supported Pei Qinghan.
Pei Qinghan pointed to the carriage that had gone far away: “Did you see that?”
San Fu shook his head: “See what?”
Pei Qinghan wanted to say it, but he didn’t know how to say it. His mouth opened for a long time, so his stomach was filled with a cold wind. In the end, he couldn’t say a word.

Inside the carriage, Dongfang Wan clutched Cui’er’s hand tightly: “Cui’er, do you think what Pei Qinghan said is true? Did my child really not die? Did she really came back?”
Cui’er stroked her milady’s hand and said: “Milady, you must not get too excited. Doctor Bai said that you are now in the most critical period of recovery. You mustn’t let your emotions fluctuate too much. Otherwise, it will be very detrimental to your recovery.”
Dongfang Wan tried her best to calm her mind, but still held Cuier’s hand and didn’t let go: “I know, I know, but Cui’er, I can’t be calm. That’s my daughter I’m thinking for more than 10 years. I always thought that she died. But now, Pei Qinghan is saying that she didn’t die. That she’s back, so how can I be calm?”
Cui’er busily said: “Milady, didn’t you hear what the master said? He said what Pei Qinghan said may not be credible. You still don’t expect too much. Milady, this slave also believes that the young miss is not dead, but I don’t believe what Pei Qinghan said. Milady, you must not be fooled by Pei Qinghan.”
Dongfang Wan’s heart gradually calmed down. Right, what Cui’er said was right. She must not be fooled by Pei Qinghan.
