Chapter 1038

"So, Hua Mingxi is not dead at all, right?" Pei Zhan asked.

Xiao Yan said: "You know that Zeng Qing later found a man named A Jin, right?"

Tao Zhen nodded. She knew that A Jin was the brothel's young man and the one who had sex with Zeng Qing after Hua Mingxi left. Tao Zhen suspected that A Jin was just a tool for Zeng Qing to take revenge on Zeng Yan and the Zeng family.

But he's still dead...

She looked at Xiao Yan in surprise: "Ajin died in Hua Mingxi's hands?"

Xiao Yan picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip: "A Jin's death is exactly the same as Jixiang. Do you still think it is a coincidence?"

Of course not.

The crowd fell silent for a while.

Tao Zhen couldn't figure out the reason why Hua Mingxi planted poison on Lin Shu and killed Jixiang.

Could it be that because he saw Jixiang talking to Zeng Qing when he went to worship the gods, he thought there was something dirty between Jixiang and Zeng Qing, so he killed him?

Then Lin Shu's poison was probably done by Hua Mingxi, to test the relationship between Ji Xiang and Lin Shu?
Maybe he was the one who drugged them both.

Lin Shu's poison can be solved, but it will take some effort. Xiao Yan is also willing to help, but he has one condition: if he catches Hua Mingxi, he wants to see her.

Coming out of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, Tao Zhen said, "Xiao Yan asked us to go find Zeng Yan, what do you think?"

Of course Pei Zhan didn't want to look for it, but for the sake of good luck, he had no choice but to nod: "I can't say, but I'll give it a try."

Pei Zhan felt that the Zeng brothers' matter was not that simple.

The two arrived at Zeng's house. When Mrs. Zeng learned that Tao Zhen came to see Zeng Yan, her face almost turned into a flower with laughter.

When she came back that day, she felt that Tao Zhen had asked so many questions and was completely disappointed with Zeng Yan after knowing the things about the Zeng family. She didn't expect that she would come again. Does this prove that Tao Zhen doesn't care at all and that she really likes Zeng Yan? Already?
"No, I have to go and see for myself." Mrs. Zeng was worried and asked the maid next to her: "Go to the eldest son and ask him to dress up before he comes out."

Mrs. Zeng was filled with joy when she met Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan beside Tao Zhen...

She was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized it, thinking that this was probably Tao Zhen's brother. As a girl, she was thin-skinned, so naturally she couldn't come alone. She knew that.

Tao Zhen felt relieved when he saw her greeting Pei Zhan warmly. He felt a little guilty before for taking advantage of Mrs. Zeng, but now it seems that she has seen through everything and can still maintain such a demeanor. She is indeed the wife of a big family.

Pei Zhan was also a little confused. Mrs. Zeng's enthusiasm caught him off guard.

When Zeng Yan walked in, he saw Tao Zhen sitting aside, and his mother was talking to an extremely beautiful young man.

"mother……"

Mrs. Zeng looked at Pei Zhan for a while, and then looked at Zeng Yan's face and felt that something was wrong. It seemed that he suddenly became ordinary.

Zeng Yan could see the doubts in his mother's heart and the flash of disgust in her eyes.

"Mom, are you looking for me?" Zeng Yan asked helplessly.

Mrs. Zeng felt that Zeng Yan was not only ugly, but also unintelligent.

She looked at Pei Zhan again, thinking that with such an excellent brother here, it would be difficult for Tao Zhen to like anyone else.

"Miss Tao is looking for you. This is..." Before Mrs. Zeng could finish her words, Pei Zhan said, "Pei Zhan."

When Mrs. Zeng was still wondering why Tao Zhen's brother was named Pei, Tao Zhen explained: "My husband."

Xianggong...

Mrs. Zeng's smile froze on her face. She turned to look at Pei Zhan and Tao Zhen. They really looked like a perfect pair...
