Chapter 628 - Moving in a good direction

A table full of people, each one has a face filled with sincere smiles. Although there were not many words, they were real. With them, Dongfang Wan felt relaxed like never before. She thought if they were real family, how good must it be?

When she was in Changyuan Houfu, her dowry maidservants had a problem one by one. And then, she was surrounded by the people arranged by Pei Qinghan. All of them were against her, and they didn’t take her as the main wife in their eyes.

At that time, she thought when she gets better, she would clean them up one by one. But who would have thought that she will be ill for many years? When her father came to see her, she didn’t want to worry him, so she swallowed all the grievances in her heart and said nothing until her father discovered something was wrong and found out the negligence of those maidservants.

She still remembered it very clearly. Her father cause a big scene and scolded Pei Qinghan. Pei Qinghan was very arrogant in front of her, but in front of her father, he was like a well-behaved grandson, and didn’t even utter a single word… …

In those years she lived at Changyuan Houfu, she never felt the warmth of a family. No one treated her like her family.

Sometimes, she even doubts if she was still a living human being.

However, today, everything was different. Everything was moving in a good direction. She felt the happiness a person should feel.

In the evening, Bai Zhi went to Dongfang Wan’s room with Pu Linxisi. Dongfang Wan was embroidering a plum blossom. Her eyes looked a little tired, so she let Cui’er wiped it for her.

When Bai Zhi entered, she heard the conversation between the master and the servant.

Cui’er said: “Milady, there are already a lot of plum blossoms on this dress. I don’t think you need to embroider more. You shouldn’t tire your eyes.”

Dongfang Wan said, “The plum blossom is not enough. Nowadays, all the ladies in capital love to wear skirt full embroidery, this is still far from full.”

Cui’er busily said: “The embroidered skirts those young ladies wear were not embroidered by themselves. They were all embroidered by the embroidery aunts. All those aunts do this all day long, how can you work like them?”

Dongfang Wan said: “I am not doing anything the whole day. How can I get tired from embroidering a few plum flowers for my daughter? I am alright!”

Cuir sighed and said nothing more.

Bai Zhi stepped forward, suppressing the soreness in her heart, and said with a smile: “I’ll give the lady medicine.”

Cui’er looked at Bai Zhi and saw that she was holding a roll of cloth in her hand, and there was nothing else, so she asked, “Where is the medicine?”

Bai Zhiyang raised the cloth roll in her hand: “Here!”

“What medicine is that? Why it looks so strange?” Cui’er looked at it curiously.

Bai Zhi smiled: “You go out first, I have something to tell the lady.”

Cui’er nodded her head and immediately left with the other two maidservants in the room.

Bai Zhi sat down beside Dongfang Wan and reached out to check her a pulse. Her pulse was steady and looked good. So she simply asked: “How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?”

Dongfang Wan said: “I feel hot. I don’t even wear my outer clothes, but I still feel hot. Aside from that, nothing else.”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “It’s just right. You feel like this means the medicine is working. When the toxins in your body are fully removed, you will no longer feel hot. By then, your body will completely recover.”

Dongfang Wan said: “I didn’t expect that I would recover one day. I thought I wouldn’t live long.” She felt like she pulled back from the ghost gate.
