Chapter 713: Asking to meet
Pei Xiachen shook her head and cried more and more: “No, I don’t want that. I want my niang to stay with me all the time. I don’t want you to leave me, let alone sever my relationship with you.”
After all, she was just a 12-year-old girl. No matter how precocious her mind was, she can only express her emotions by crying when encountering such things.
The mother and daughter hugged each other while crying for a while. Song Hexiang drank the cold tea and ate some food that Pei Xiachen had brought, and then covered it with a thick quilt. She finally recovered a bit of energy.
Pei Xiachen raised her head and looked at the sky outside the window. It won’t be long before it’s dawn. And so, she said to Song Hexiang: “Niang, take a rest first. I will try to find a way to help you plead. Father is just angry now, as long as he calms down. He will let you out.”Song Hexiang nodded her head. There were some words she didn’t know how to tell her daughter. However, it would be good if things turn out like what the daughter said.

Just before dawn, Pei Qinghan could not bother with Mrs. Liu and her son’s escaped, nor could interrogate Bai Zhenzhu. He hurriedly let his servants help him out of Changyuan Houfu and rushed to Dongfang Family Mansion.
The guard stopped him as usual.
This was the first time Pei Qinghan’s servant came to Dongfang Family Mansion. So, he didn’t know how much loss he could eat. He raised his chin and yelled at the guard: “Are you blind? This is our Houye, he is the son-in-law of your master. How dare you stop him?”
The little guard at the door glanced at Pei Qinghan with a cold eye, then swept his eyes on the yelling servant and coldly snorted: “I was wondering who is this dog barking. It turned out that it came from Changyuan Houfu. It’s really loud and brilliant.”
The servant was pretty proud of himself. He was a servant of the Changyuan Houfu. So he wanted to use the power of Changyuan Houfu in his hand to defeat this small watchdog. The little watchdog who dare to show his ugliness in front of their Houye.Pei Qinghan glanced at him and angrily said: “Shut up, is this a place where you should be yelling? You have no rules!”
Who knows who exactly he was scolding, but the little guard just pretended not to hear him. He rolled his eyes and looked away.
Pei Qinghan then said to the little guard: “Little brother, please go in and report it. I want to see your master and your lady.”
The little guard shook his head: “I’m really sorry, but the master said, he will not see any guest today. Please go back!”
How could Pei Qinghan leave like this? He was so anxious to see that little girl again and ask Dongfang Wan if that little girl was their daughter!
“Little brother, I’m really in a hurry to see your master and young lady. I’ll wait here. You go in and report that, if they didn’t see me today, I won’t leave!”
The little guard looked at Pei Qinghan again and said in a low voice: “Do whatever you want!” After saying that, he went inside and slammed the door.
At this time Dongfang Mu was practicing martial arts in the courtyard. The little guard looked for him but didn’t disturb him. He stood outside the courtyard and probed his head.
Dongfang Mu exercised a few more moves. When he finished the servant immediately handed him a handkerchief. While wiping his sweat, his eyes swept towards the young man outside the courtyard. Then he said in a deep voice: “If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you just probing your head?”
The little guard hurriedly went inside the courtyard and said: “Master, Changyuan Houye is here. He said he wants to see you and the eldest lady because of an important matter. He also said that if you won’t see him, he will not leave.”
Dongfang Mu threw the handkerchief to his servant, who was waiting on the side, and coldly snorted: “Let him do whatever he wants!”
