Chapter 652: His Name is Bai Zhi
Dongfang Mu asked: “What about the jade pendant?”
Pei Qinghan busily said: “That jade pendant was pawned by them. I went to the pawnshop to find it, but I couldn’t find it anymore.”
Dongfang Mu coldly snorted inside his heart. There is no such coincidence in this world. Pei Qinghan found the Huangtuo Village first, this matter cannot be separated from that Magistrate Cang.
Dongfang Mu stopped paying attention to Pei Qinghan, and asked Bai Zhenzhu: “Child, what is your name?”
Bai Zhenzhu responded quickly: “My name is Pei Xiayan.”
Dongfang Mu shook his head: “I mean, what was your name before?”
Bai Zhenzhu took a glance at Pei Qinghan. When she saw Pei Qinghan nod his head, she said: “My name used to be Bai Zhenzhu. I live in Huangtou Village from Qingyuan Town.”
Dongfang Wan was taken aback: Qingyuan Town? Huangtou Village? Surnamed Bai? Is she from Doctor Bai’s Family? Bai? Is it possible that everyone in that village has the surname Bai?
She thought of something suddenly, but she didn’t dare to think about it. The thought flashed so fast, she could not catch it.
At this time, Dongfang Mu asked another question: “Who else is there in your family?”
Bai Zhenzhu replied, “My adoptive mother, adoptive father, and two older brothers.”
Dongfang Mu asked again: “Are there only these people? No one else? Your adoptive father has no brothers?”
Bai Zhenzhu’s heart trembled, and then said: “My adoptive father had two brothers, but they are now dead.”
“What about their children? Are they also dead?”
Bai Zhenzhu couldn’t understand why he wanted to ask these things. She couldn’t help but be flustered. She looked at Pei Qinghan in panic.
Pei Qinghan said: “Father-in-law, Yan’er’s house was caught in a big fire. The fire not only burned their house but also burned to death the old lady of the Bai family and also the second branch’s family. It’s too tragic.”
Speaking of this, Bai Zhenzhu thought of her father, mother, and younger brother. Her tears suddenly came out.
Dongfang Mu knew what happened to the Bai family well. Seeing Bai Zhenzhu crying, he didn’t sympathize with her. Instead, he became bored. He waved his hand and said: “Well, you can go back now.”
Pei Qinghan was shocked. What does he mean? Why he was telling them to go back? This was the granddaughter of their Dongfang Family, doesn’t he recognize her?
Pei Qinghan winked at Bai Zhenzhu.
Bai Zhenzhu suppressed the sadness in her heart and looked at Dongfang Wan, then said: “Niang, won’t you go home with me? This daughter has been thinking of you all these days and nights.”
Dongfang Wan didn’t say a word, but Dongfang Mu said: “She can’t go back now. She’s at a critical moment of recovery.”
Pei Qinghan’s heart trembled. He busily asked: “I can see that Waner’s complexion has improved a lot. Did you found a genius doctor?”
Dongfang Mu looked at Pei Qinghan with a faint smile, but then swept his eyes to Bai Zhenzhu before saying: “I did found a genius doctor. And it is a coincidence that this genius doctor is from Jirentang in Qingyuan Town. The surnamed of this doctor is also Bai.”
Bai Zhenzhu’s complexion immediately changed. Her face turned pale, her eyes shook in panic, and her body trembled.
Seeing this, Dongfang Wan hurriedly asked: “You must have known him. His name is Bai Zhi. He is also from Huangtuo Village.”
Bai Zhenzhu immediately shook her head: “No, I don’t know, I don’t know her.”
Dongfang Mu coldly snorted: “You don’t know? Should I ask him to come out, so you’ll see?”
Bai Zhenzhu immediately shouted: “No, no, I—I—”
Pei Qinghan looked puzzled. What happened to Bai Zhenzhu? Who was that Bai Zhi from Jirentang? Why was she so frightened after hearing this name? Could it be that the person knows something?
