Chapter 699: The child that year
Concubine Xiang didn’t expect that Pei Qinghan would push her, so she didn’t react on time. She stepped back a few steps and almost fell to the floor.
“Houye, what’s wrong with you?” She has never seen the marquis look at her with eyes full of resentment and anger. His fierce eyes looked as sharp as a knife.
“Song Hexiang, look into my eyes and tell me, is that thing about Dongfang Wan true?” Pei Qinghan gritted his teeth. Each word left his gritted teeth with difficulty.
Ever since she and Pei Qinghan got together, he has never called her by her name. When there was no one around, he called her Xiang’er. In the middle of the night, when he was deeply in love, he called her my love. She heard him call her by her name for the first time, but she didn’t expect it to be so harsh.
When she calmed her mind, she pulled out a stiff smile and said: “Houye, what are you talking about? Didn’t you know this thing most clearly back then? That’s a matter of certainty. How can it be fake?”
He also thought in the past. How could that matter be false?
But today, he saw the child that year, that child looked similar to him and Dongfang Wan. Are those absurd things that he once thought were just what he really wanted to see and wanted it to be?
Seeing Pei Qinghan in a daze, Concubine Xiang walked forward and sat next to Pei Qinghan. She gently touched his chest with her delicate hand and whispered: “Houye, you must have heard some rumors outside. How can you take the false speculations and false claims of those ordinary people seriously?”
When Pei Qinghan returned to his senses, he looked at Concubine Xiang and coldly said: “No one is making false speculation or making false claims. Song Hexiang, today I saw a person, a 13-year-old girl, who looks very similar to me and Wan’er. Her surname is Bai, her full name is Bai Zhi, she’s from Huangtou Village.”
Song Hexiang was taken aback, and then her heart and liver began to tremble. Her face turned pale. She anxiously said: “There are so many people with similar appearances in the world. Could it be possible that Houye just has seen someone with a similar appearance to that child?”
She hated that person she asked to do the task. She told her to let the child die outside but in the end—
Pei Qinghan’s cold and resentful eyes fixed on her face: “You still refuse to tell me the truth? There are so many coincidences in the world, but how can it happen to be like this? I, Pei Qinghan, is a fool for letting people bewitch me, but is Dongfang Mu also a fool? I always wonder why Dongfang Mu and Dongfang Wan didn’t care so much about the daughter I brought back. They didn’t even look for her. Now I know the answer, they had found the child a long time ago. These tricks of mine are just a big joke in their eyes.”
Concubine Xiang’s knees soften and she fell to the floor. Listening to Pei Qinghan’s words, she seemed to have confirmed something. She wanted to argue, but she didn’t know where to start.
There were many flows in that event of the year. As long as Pei Qinghan investigate it, the truth would surface. It’s just, Pei Qinghan was coaxed by her to believe these ridiculous things full of flaws, and so he didn’t verify the truth. This matter made her succeed again and again. She became the master in the back house and was favored by Pei Qinghan.
It can be said that she was very dependent on Pei Qinghan. Everything she has was given by him. Unlike Dongfang Wan, even without Pei Qinghan, as long as she could live, she will have a chance to turn the table. Because she has a father with a powerful background.
