Chapter 15 I Amnesia
It was already late at night when Pei Zhan woke up. He was feeling dizzy with fever and felt someone sitting next to him. He tried to open his eyes and saw Tao Zhen sitting beside his bed.

Tao Zhen didn't sleep, her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about something important. The dim oil lamp illuminated her face. Tao Zhen was very good-looking, especially when she smiled, her smile was very gentle and bright, as if it could heal everything.
Otherwise, the eldest brother would not have taken a liking to her at a glance.

But who knows?Knowing people and faces but not hearts, they were deceived by her innocent face.

Pei Zhan's eyes gradually became fierce as he stared at Tao Zhen, as if he was about to tear Tao Zhen into pieces in the next moment.

"How are you feeling?" Tao Zhen's words interrupted Pei Zhan's thoughts. Pei Zhan came back to his senses with a somewhat pitiful expression: "It hurts..."

He was indeed in pain, so much that he wished he had to use his leg.

Tao Zhen frowned and said eagerly: "There is nothing I can do about the pain. I can only endure it for a while. I will ask a doctor to come over tomorrow."

Pei Zhan shook his head: "No need."

Tao Zhen remembered that the Pei family was an imperial physician, so Pei Zhan must have medical skills, so he said, "Would you like to grab some medicine? Or what do you want to take? I'll buy it for you."

Her tone and expression sounded like she was coaxing a child. Pei Zhan suddenly felt a little funny. His eyes were solemn and he had a bad look on his face: "You have been here for so long and the Tao family doesn't show any sign of it?"

Tao Zhen was stunned: "Tao family?"

She had no memory of the original owner, but now that Pei Zhan mentioned it, she was a little suspicious. Yes, the Pei family was in trouble, but the Tao family was not. Why didn't the Tao family help?
Seeing the confusion on her face, Pei Zhan smiled. His body ached. This specious smile looked a little twisted and perverted, which made Tao Zhen frown.

"I do not remember!"

After Tao Zhen finished speaking, he explained: "After committing suicide that day, I can't remember what happened before I got married."

Pei Zhan stopped laughing. He bit his lips and stared at Tao Zhen, like an evil ghost who only wanted to kill someone. If Tao Zhen couldn't see that there was something wrong with this, her life would be in vain.

But she really has no memory, she only remembers the things she saw after her death.

"How good!" Pei Zhan suddenly sighed: "When a person does bad things, he quickly forgets what he has done, and can live with peace of mind. It is really good..."

Tao Zhen frowned and looked at Pei Zhan: "What do you mean?"

She paused and asked, "Does the Pei family's affairs have anything to do with me?"

She couldn't think of anything else except this. After all, the original owner didn't seem to do anything to harm the Pei family except committing suicide after marrying him.

Pei Zhan said nothing, which was considered acquiescence.

Tao Zhen frowned and said, "Is it related to the Tao family?"

Pei Zhan just looked at her coldly. He didn't believe Tao Zhen's amnesia at all. She just didn't want to admit that she was guilty.

This woman had been scheming to get close to the Pei family from the beginning. Everything was planned by the Tao family. But now, she has been abandoned by the Tao family. It is really retribution.

If the eldest brother has a spirit in heaven, he might feel relieved to see that this woman is now exiled here and has become an outcast of the Tao family.

Tao Zhen felt a breath stuck in his heart, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

She is not the original owner, and she doesn't know what the original owner did, but she has taken over the original owner's body, so she and the original owner are inseparable. No matter what the original owner did, she has to bear it.

She looked at Pei Zhan, and Pei Zhan looked at her.

In the quiet night, the dim light couldn't shine into the hearts of the two people.
