Chapter 657: Will never be separated again
Dongfang Wan woke up in the middle of the night. She sat up as soon as she opened her eyes, lifted the quilt, and got out of the bed. Cui’er, who was asleep on the side of the bed, woke up and saw her milady standing barefooted and wearing thin clothes. Dongfang Wan rushed outside with thin clothing. Cui’er hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her milady: “Milady, where are you going? It’s cold outside, you can’t go out.”
Dongfang Wan didn’t care about these things. She pushed Cui’er away and rushed outside. Cui’er hurriedly turned back to get clothes, but when she got the clothes, she could no longer see her milady’s shadow.
She must have gone to see Bai Zhi. Cui’er ran towards Bai Zhi’s room with the outer clothes.

Bai Zhi was refining medicine in her room. Seeing that the medicine was about to finish, she took a cloth towel and wiped her sweat. However, suddenly, her door was pushed open. Dongfang Wan’s thin figure appeared. Her pale face was covered with tears. She stood by the door while looking at her with tears in the eyes. She opened her mouth to speak, but she couldn’t make a sound.
“Milady, are you awake?” Bai Zhi’s eyes were hot and her heart was slightly sour. It seems this was the feeling when you met a relative who had been separated for many years.
“Child–” Dongfang Wan walked step by step in front of Bai Zhi. Her hand that she stretched out was trembling constantly. Dongfang Wan wanted to touch Bai Zhi’s face, but she was afraid to make her feel cold. So she hurriedly blows warm air to her hand before she touched her face. This was her daughter separated from her for almost 13 years.
Seeing Dongfang Wan’s hand has a purple color, Bai Zhi looked at her body and found out that she was not wearing a coat, and she was barefooted. Bai Zhi hurriedly Dongfang Wan to the bed to sit down and covered her with a quilt. Then, she took a cloth towel to help her wipe her feet. Dongfang Wan’s tears kept falling.
Bai Zhi remembered her parents in modern times that abandoned her on the street when she was 3 -year-old.
“Child, you have suffered!” Dongfang Wan knelt and wrapped her arms around Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi shook his head: “I didn’t suffer, my niang is very good to me. I had a good life. It’s you who had suffered a lot, I should have look for you much earlier.”
Dongfang Wan shook her head and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her face: “Child, whether it’s you or me who had suffered, it’s all over now. In the future, I will compensate you twice. Us, mother and child will never separate again. Never again.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Mmm, we will never separate again.”
Cui’er rushed inside and saw this scene. She also burst into tears.
Dongfang Wan then said to Cui’er: “Hurry up, give me my clothes. I am going to see Sister Zhao. I’ll kowtow to her. If it weren’t for her, how could I be so lucky today?”
Cui’er looked around and said: “Milady, what do you think the time is now? Mrs. Zhao must have already gone to bed. It’s better to see her tomorrow.”
Bai Zhi also said: “Sister Cuier is right, the time is late now. It’s better to see her tomorrow.”
Dongfang Wan laughed and said: “Yes, it seems it’s very late now. I slept too much, didn’t even realize the time now.”
But then, she smelled something: “What’s that smell?”
Bai Zhi was taken aback. Only then did she remember that the medicine she refined was still in the furnace… …
“It’s over. I’ve been busy working all night refining these Qinxin pills for 5 hours, but now it’s all burnt.” Although she felt lost, there was a smile on her face. The cold wind inside the room didn’t seem to affect her. Instead, she felt warm as if it was still in summer.
