Chapter 548: Where did the jade pendant come from (3)
“Wan’er, you rest assured, this father will find a doctor to treat you. Father will never let something happen to you. You believe father.” He was her only daughter. Since she was a child, she was his only treasure. Dongfang Wan lived a happy and carefree life, but since he married into this Changyuan Houfu, everything has changed.
He has been living in regrets all these years. He regretted marrying his daughter into this Changyuan Houfu. He had a close relationship with Pei Shengkang at that time. Pei Shengkang was indeed a good person. Because he has a good relationship with the emperor, the Changyuan Houfu continued to flourish. At that time, he thought that Pei Shengkang’s son would not be bad.
So he took the lead and gave Dongfang Wan to the Pei family without asking permission. If he knew that Pei Qinghan was such a person, he would never let his daughter marry him.
Although he already knew the answer inside his heart, he still asked: “Pei Qinghan, that guy, has he been good to you recently?”
Dongfang Wan’er lightly smiled, concealing the sadness in her eyes: “Whether he is good or not, we are husband and wife.”
The more she was like this, the more Dongfang Mu’s heartache. In less than three months after she got ill, Pei Qinghan brought several concubines. In this Changyuan Houfu, nominally, Dongfang Wan was the main wife, but because she can’t manage the house, she was treated like a lowly concubine. The servants no longer regarded her as the main wife. She had been in this mansion for so long, but no one even offered her a tea.
“Wan’er, tell me the truth, do you still want to stay here? If you want to leave, this father will take you out today.”
He made this proposal more than once, but Dongfang Wan refused each time. She said that she was already a spilled water, and she was the main wife of the Changyuan Houfu. If she went home with her father like this, it will only damage his face.
But this time, Dongfang Wan’er was a little moved. She knew that her life would end soon. She doesn’t want to spend her remaining time inside this room. She wanted to go out and see the world outside. She wanted to take a look at the world that her child didn’t get a chance to see.
“Dad, if I go with you, won’t the outsiders talk about me?” Although she was moved, she still hesitated.
Dongfang Mu waved his hand: “No matter what they say, it has nothing to do with us. We will live our lives. They can talk about us as much as they want. But we will not lose even a piece of meat because of it.”
Seeing his daughter still hesitating, he added: “Wan’er, this father is old, what kind of storms haven’t I experienced? Don’t say it’s just to take you back home for treatment. Even if you want to be separated from him, this father will help you.”
The word separation was like a rumble of thunder in her ears. She had also thought about it. When Pei Qinghan promoted his beloved concubine in front of her and saw him being affectionate to that bitch, again and again, this word appeared in her mind more than once.
However, she was not willing to let that bitch get what she wanted, so she kept holding on to it.
“Dad, I’ll go with you, but I don’t want to divorce him. Even if I leave, I still want to be the main wife. I won’t let that bitch get what she wants.”
Seeing his daughter finally agreed, Dongfang Mu was overjoyed.
“Okay, I’ll make an arrangement. Let’s leave today.” Dongfang Mu asked his daughter to lie down and then cover her with a quilt. He was about to go to Pei Qinghan to talk, but a maidservant came in a hurry, looking all flustered. As if someone was chasing after her.
