Bai Zhi shook her head: “If it was 3 years ago, I could cure her, but now… …” She sighed, she couldn’t continue her words.
Dongfang Mu asked: “What’s wrong? It’s not too late, she can be cured, right?”
Bai Zhi said: “Master Dongfang, I don’t want to lie to you. I can’t do anything about the lady’s illness. At most, I can adjust her body and extend her lifespan. This is the only thing I can do at present.”
She can’t make this medicine called Pu Linxisi. It was a medicine that a pharmaceutical company spent decades to develop it. It was not a medicine that can be made by after picking up a few herbs.
The only medicine that can save the lady now was this Pu Linxisi.
When Dongfang Mu heard those words, he aged a lot in an instant. A lot of wrinkles suddenly appeared on his sturdy face.
After being shocked for a long while, he no longer demands anything. He waved his hand said: “Arrange a residence for Bai Dafu, let him stay and take care of Waner.”
Cui’er followed the order. She quickly pulled Bai Zhi out of the hall and took her to the guest room.
After entering the room, Cui’er said: “This small courtyard is next to the yard where milady lives. If something happened to milady, you can go there at once.”
Bai Zhi didn’t care to see what was in the courtyard and what the furnishings were, she just wanted to understand one thing.
“Sister Cui’er, can I ask you something?”
Cui’er said: “If you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you if I know.”
Bai Zhi asked: “The lady and Master Dongfang both mentioned that child. What happened to that child? Can you tell me about it?”
Cui’er shook her head: “In fact, I don’t know what happened back then. I only served milady later on. Master said that the maidservants in the Pei Family were not good enough, so he bought me outside and asked me to serve his daughter. It’s been 3 years now. I don’t know anything about what happened that year. But every time someone will mention that thing in front of milady, she always cries. Later, Master didn’t let anyone mention it in front of his daughter.”
Bai Zhi made an ‘um’ sound. She was very disappointed that Cui’er didn’t know it.
After Cui’er left, she leaned her back on the soft bed, but she couldn’t sleep. Dongfang Wan’s face kept appearing in her mind, and also the disappointment and sadness in Dongfang Mu’s eyes.
When she thought of them, her heart was aching. As if someone was stabbing her heart.
She wanted to help them.
In that world, she hasn’t been back for two months. She doesn’t know what will happen when she goes back. Maybe, Lin Yang has given up on her, or maybe she can’t go back.
Should she try going back?

The next morning, she came out of the house early and saw the morning mist. It was like marshmallows. She wanted to touch it and stretch it out. The sun was not strong, it passed through the cloud, making the place looked so beautiful and dazzling.
“Bai Dafu, you’re up!” A clean and beautiful girl came over with a basin, and the edge of the basin was covered with a white cloth towel.
“Bai Dafu, wipe your face, breakfast will be delivered soon.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head and simply washed her face. The paint on her face faded a little. It seems that it will not be long and this paint will be washed away. By then, if they know that she’s a girl, what will happen?
No, she cannot reveal her identity until she has figured out what happened 13 years ago.
If they abandoned her, she would never recognize them. If there is another story, then they should explain this matter.
