Chapter 43
When Dibei Chen left, the two fluffb.a.l.l.s jumped on the bed, their faces puzzled.
"Master, why did you want to help Dibei Chen?"
Little Black’s face revealed confusion. It wasn’t like Master’s temperament to have the losing side of the deal.
"There’s things that just don’t have a true answer to them." Baili Hongzhuang said quietly.
Dibei Chen was a deep, unknown mystery, and she knew with certainty that there were many secrets undiscovered regarding him. It was also quite likely that he had a large power behind him.
From the view of others, those with power had a limitless view. But she knew the sorrows that came with power.
They could never speak with feelings. If they didn’t have enough strength, then they’d only be trampled underfoot by others.
Going from a peerless genius into a cripple, one could only imagine the torment he felt inside.
She had already spent some time thinking about him. There wasn’t any real harm to her, even though this wasn’t following her way of life, this time she was willing to make an exception.
The next few days, Dibei Chen stopped by Jingli Garden every day for Baili Hongzhaung’s acupuncture.
The paralysis in his legs lessened little by little. He only needed to wait until the 7th day before he could stand up again.
On this day, Baili Hongzhaung took out Qin Yayun’s diary.
This was where Qin Yayun wrote out her feelings. She also wanted to know what were Qin Yayun’s thoughts.
In the expanses of letters, Baili Hongzhaung could clearly see the love in her heart Qin Yayun had for Baili Zhentao.
She believed that after she married and became a general’s wife, her life would be content. She never imagined that she’d be thrust into an abyss.
From the beginning, the text was filled with antic.i.p.ation and longing before falling into a terrible, lonely end. Baili Hongzhuang sighed quietly. Her mother had loved the wrong man from the start.
Turning to the last page in the booklet, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly found that 2 pages were stuck together.
She could clearly see that words were written inside. Why would she take all the trouble to glue the last two pages together?
Only after carefully prying the two pages apart while keeping them intact, could Baili Hongzhuang see the text written inside.
With just a glance, Baili Hongzhuang couldn’t help but be stunned. Her heart constantly jumped in surprise as she read through the paper. Even when she finished, her heart couldn’t calm down for a very long time.
Because it stated, she was actually not Qin Yayun’s daughter!
At first, in order to compete for Baili Zhentao’s love, Qin Yayun lied that she was pregnant. Although Baili Zhentao had no doubts about it, Su Wanjing was very dissatisfied.
The next day, Baili Zhentao didn’t see Qin Yayun who claimed that she was going to give birth.
Originally, Qin Yayun made plans with a woman who was pregnant. The baby would be brought to her as soon as it was born.
But when the birth family found that the baby was a boy, they were unwilling to give their child to the maid, letting Qin Yayun fall into a pit.
Just as Qin Yayun was panicking, not knowing what to do, the maid suddenly found a baby just outside the gates. This baby was Baili Hongzhaung!
"So it turns out, I’m not Qin Yayun’s and Baili Zhentao’s child." Baili Hongzhaung was shocked.
But after thinking it through, she was actually very content. Baili Zhentao was never a man she wanted as a father. Now that Baili Hongzhuang knew there weren’t any blood ties, she could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Only, who are my biological parents? Why did they leave me at the General Household’s gates?"
Baili Hongzhaung frowned a little. According to Qin Yayun’s description, her body was covered with blood at the time she was found, which meant her parents must’ve been forced to leave her there.
So what exactly happened with her parents? Were they even still alive?
From the remnants of Qin Yayun’s belongings, Baili Hongzhuang found a piece of white jade.
This was hanging on a pendant from around her neck. It was the only evidence that she and her biological parents could recognize each other with.
Later that night.
Dibei Chen watched the absent-minded Baili Hongzhuang, his voice concerned as he asked, "Wifey, what’s going on with you today? What is it?"
Since the second he saw Baili Hongzhuang
Baili Hongzhuang shook her head a little, "Nothing."
After learning the shocking news, she’d been thinking about what the truth might be.
But using a single piece of white jade to search the wide sea, it was just too difficult.
Dibei Chen stared deeply at Baili Hongzhuang and suddenly spoke, "Although I’m not sure what exactly happened, you can trust me. If you ever need my help, just give me a call."
Dibei Chen’s face was serious. He truly wanted to help Baili Hongzhuang. She immediately nodded, "Thank you."
Dibei Chen didn’t say anything else. If Baili Hongzhaung wanted to tell him, then she would’ve told him. If she didn’t tell him, then he wouldn’t ask.
"You came for your acupuncture." Baili Hongzhaung smiled, "After today, you’ll be able to stand up and walk again."
Dibei Chen’s lips widened into a smile, "You’ve worked hard."
These days, he could clearly feel the paralysis growing weaker and weaker. It was completely healed down to his calves, but there was still no perception in his feet.
But after today’s treatment, he’d be able to stand up again!
The gratefulness Hei Mu held in his heart for Baili Hongzhaung could reach the heavens.
Ever since his little lord’s legs were crippled, he had never seen him smile from his heart for a long, long time.
Because of Baili Hongzhuang, his lord was able to return his former self.
Baili Hongzhuang packed up the silver needles, her face pale. Her lips were in a wide grin, "Try standing up."
Dibei Chen was a little surprised. After living in a wheelchair for so long, he had almost forgotten how to stand up.
Now, as he listened to Baili Hongzhaung, his heart trembled with no reason. Maybe it was because he had looked forward to this day for too long.
Now that the day has come, a hint of fear arose in his heart.
If he couldn’t stand up, then wouldn’t he just be plunged right back into that deep, dark abyss?
Baili Hongzhuang silently laughed but smiled to encourage Dibei Chen.
She had seen many patients who couldn’t walk like Dibei Chen and could understand the feelings he felt right now.
Dibei Chen’s face returned to its usual calmness as if he was preparing his heart. He placed his hands on the wheelchair and slowly stood up……
Feeling the sense of being on the ground again, a splendid smile broke on Dibei Chen’s face.
For the first time in so long, he finally stood up!
Slow footsteps. Dibei Chen walked a few steps, then suddenly, he dived into the peach blossom forest, breaking into a run. He ran so fast, that n.o.body would’ve ever believed that he was sitting in a wheelchair for so long.
Baili Hongzhaung smiled brightly. As a doctor, watching a patient run cured was naturally a good thing.
Hei Mu was enraptured, almost too excited to say anything, "Lord…… lord stood up!"
He truly wanted to shout it out to the world. 3 years!
Their little lord has finally stood up!
Das.h.i.+ng forward, a figure suddenly fell on Baili Hongzhuang, wrapping her into his embrace.
The fragrance of peach blossoms a.s.saulted her senses. Her body was stiff.
Dibei Chen’s face beamed with smiles as he leaned forward to whisper into her ear: "Thank you, thank you……."
2 simple words, overflowing with grat.i.tude, repeated twice.
Baili Hongzhaung didn’t understand what standing up could mean for him!
The stiffened body in his bosom relaxed when she heard his words. Baili Hongzhuang smiled, "You’re welcome."
When Dibei Chen stood up, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly discovered he was actually very tall. Lying in his embrace, she could only reach his chest.
His posture was straight, shoulders broad and muscular. It felt comfortable and safe.
When Baili Hongzhaung returned to rest, Dibei Chen couldn’t help but recall the gentle fragrance that he had cradled softly in his arms.
Although he didn’t know why he would suddenly make such a move, it was good that Baili Hongzhuang didn’t refuse……
After Dibei Chen was cured, he acted as if he was still crippled in front of outsiders. Now wasn’t the time to expose himself.
But every night, Dibei Chen went to Jingli Garden with his true appearance.
Baili Hongzhuang once again retreated into closed door cultivation. Other than going to G.o.dly Doctor Square, she was always in her room within Jingli Garden. Right now, increasing her strength was the most important.
Dibei Chen didn’t bother her, only sitting quietly in the peach blossom forest until the night goes dark and he leaves.
Inside the house, Baili Hongzhuang was skillfully refining some immortality pills.
Her pill-refining skills had always been good and coupled with her spirit power, the potency was greatly enhanced. Refining such low-level immortality pills were very simple for her.
On this day, Baili Hongzhuang once again went to G.o.dly Doctor Square and directly took out a white, porcelain bottle from her heaven-earth pouch.
The display case she had asked Du Tianshuo to set up a few days ago would finally be used today.
Noticing Baili Hongzhaung’s actions, Du Tianshuo and Dong Sirou gathered up in front of her.
"Lady Baili, what are you going to sell?"
Dong Sirou wondered. G.o.dly Doctor Square’s business was blooming, so he couldn’t understand what she was trying to sell.
If the product has nothing to do with G.o.dly Doctor Square, then it wouldn’t be good for the shop.
Baili Hongzhuang chuckled, "If you open it and take a look, won’t you know?"
Du Tianshuo and Dong Sirou glanced at each other before immediately picking up the porcelain bottle to take a look inside.
Their eyes widened as they stared.
"These…… these are immortality pills?" Du Tianshuo asked in disbelief.
"Right."
Du Tianshuo swallowed his saliva. There were so many pills inside that porcelain bottle, how many immortality pills were there!
A single immortality pill alone was already worth a ma.s.sive price, with so many pills, Du Tianshuo simply couldn’t imagine the sum!
"Lady Baili, where did you get these immortality pills?"
Dong Sirou asked excitedly. Immortality pills were always in constant demand. There were only a few pill masters in the Imperial City, and very rarely shared their pills.
Lady Baili was too capable, managing to grab so many at once!
"I refined it." Baili Hongzhaung smiled, "You go and prepare some nice packaging to wrap the immortality pills in."
"Put the price directly with the label, and make it 20% higher than Heavenly Jewel Pavilion’s prices."
Listening to her words, Du Tianshuo and Dong Sirou felt their bones go soft.
