Chapter 616: A girl, not a boy
Tea? When Bai Zhi saw the teacup on the bedside table, she pointed her finger at it: “Is it this?”
Cui’er nodded her head: “This is it.”
She picked up the teacup and saw the remaining half of the tea in the cup. It was already cold. The tea soup has a light yellow color. Bai Zhi smelled it and immediately frowned.
Cui’er asked quickly: “This is tea the tea that milady drank on weekdays. Is there any problem?”
Bai Zhi said: “Why is there ginseng in this tea?”
Cui’er said: “This is hundred-year-old wild ginseng that Master asked for. He said that it is good for the sick and weak. Master asked us to add some when making tea. It’s been a long time since then.”
Bai Zhi shook her head and sighed for a long time: “The fault lies here. Wild ginseng is good, but not to the lady. The more she makes up her body, the more she gets worst. Fortunately, you went in time to me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to save her life.”
When Cui’er heard those words, her complexion drastically change. She busily said to the other two maidservants: “Hurry, take it an pour it outside. Don’t use this again in the future.”
The two maidservants left in a hurry with the teapot. When they went outside, they met Dongfang Mu, who was running fast like a wind.
Dongfang Mu pushed the two maidservants aside, as his tall figure quickly rushed inside: “How is Wan’er? How is she?”
His heart was beating wildly. He was very scared. He always knew that such a day would come, but when the time came, he found out that he couldn’t accept it.
Cui’er busily replied: “Master, don’t worry. Milady is alright. Doctor Bai arrived in time and saved her wife.”
Dongfang Mu released a sigh of relief. He went close to the bed and held Dongfang Wan’s hand. Although her hand was cold, it wasn’t as cold as he had imagined. Seeing her chest going up and down, he felt relieved.
“Achoo!!” Bai Zhi sneezed. Her shirt was originally soaked with sweat, which dried a bit at this moment. But when Dongfang Mu came in, a cold wind entered the room and made her felt cold.
Dongfang Mu looked back at her and saw that she was wearing a thin tunic, her hair was scattered, and her feet were also red. He immediately frowned after seeing this scene: “Cui’er, get him a piece of clothing, he will catch a cold.”
Cui’er immediately took her lady’s coat and put it on Bai Zhi.
Dongfang Mu frowned again: “Why did you take your lady’s clothes? He is a man, how can he wear a woman’s clothing?”
Cui’er smiled but didn’t speak.
Bai Zhi said: “Master Dongfang, I’ll go back to my room first.”
While looking at Bai Zhi’s departing back, Dongfang Mu whispered: “How come he looks like a woman when he wears a woman’s clothing?”
Cui’er replied: “Master, Doctor Bai is a girl, I just saw it.”
Dongfang Mu was stunned. He turned his head and stared at Cui’er: “Is this true?”
Cui’er nodded her head: “It’s true, I saw it. She is a girl, not a boy.”
She was a girl, not a boy. She was 13 this year, she has the same eyes as their Dongfang Family… …
Cui’er said again: “Master, Doctor Bai seems to be nervous just now. As soon as she heard that milady was dying, she ran here without even wearing shoes. She was so anxious that her hands trembled. I saw it very clearly.”
Dongfang Mu’s eyes became more and more excited. There were a bold idea and anticipation in his heart.
“Cuier, don’t you think this little girl looks like your lady?”
Cui’er busily nodded her head: “Not like, they look very similar, and their eyes look the same.”
Dongfang Mu slapped his thigh and said, “It’s true, and she just doesn’t resemble Wan’er, but also Pei Qinghan. Her eyes are like Wan’er, but her nose and mouth are like Pei Qinghan. No wonder I always feel she’s familiar. I only understand it now.”
