Chapter 16 Jade Bracelet
Pei Zhan was injured and would definitely not be able to go to work. Li Hui was very warm-hearted and even came over the next day to tell Pei Zhan to have a good rest and he went to ask for leave from the boss.

Tao Zhen expressed his gratitude. After Li Hui left, the Pei family had breakfast together, which was pancakes and rice porridge. Mrs. Pei brought Pei Zhan to the room.

Starting yesterday, Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan started a cold war in which neither one paid attention to the other.

Pei Zhan hated her, so there was no reason for her to get involved and make everyone unhappy.

"What's going on with Xiao Heng?" Tao Zhen brought up Pei Heng's abnormality yesterday.

Mrs. Pei sighed and said with a sad face: "On the way here, one day we encountered robbers, and many people died. The scene was bloody and terrifying, and Xiao Heng was frightened."

Tao Zhen remembered that he once encountered robbers. They were all wandering desperadoes. They were ruthless and vicious. After a fierce battle, most of the exiled prisoners and officers died, and many of the remaining prisoners were also killed. She died on the road. The Pei family managed to save their lives with money and some ancestral medicine. At that time, the original owner was determined to die and was confused about everything around her. However, with Mrs. Pei protecting her, she was fine. , insisted on coming to Ningzhou.

Judging from Pei Zhan's attitude and words last night, maybe the original owner was not only frustrated, but maybe also guilty?In Pei Zhan's eyes, it should be similar to committing suicide out of fear of crime. It is not enough to harm the Pei family. When she is dying, she has to commit suicide and take the rest of the Pei family to die with her. No wonder Pei Zhan wanted to strangle her to death.

Tao Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

Mrs. Pei was worried that she was overthinking it and said, "It's okay. As long as A Zhan is okay, we can get through it."

Tao Zhen knew that she was thinking too much, so he didn't explain. Instead, he took out a jade bracelet from his arms. The jade was of very good texture and round in shape, as if the whole piece of jade was soaked in water. There was a faint aura, and it looked like something good at first glance.

Mrs. Pei is very familiar with this jade bracelet. It belongs to the Pei family and was Mrs. Pei's dowry at the time. Her mother passed it on to her. When Pei Huan got married, Mrs. Pei gave it to Pei Huan, and Pei Huan took it to propose marriage. , it can also be regarded as their token of love.

Mrs. Pei thought that this thing had been lost long ago, but she didn't expect that Tao Zhen still kept it. She carefully held the jade bracelet, looked at it again and again, stretched out her hand and rubbed it slowly, cherishing it very much.

"I didn't expect to see things from the past again." Mrs. Pei's eyes were red, obviously thinking of some things from the past, and the expression on her face became gentle and sad.

Tao Zhen comforted: "This is your thing, and it has returned to its original owner today." Mrs. Pei shook her head and put the bracelet on Tao Zhen's hand: "There is no way to get back the things you sent out. Besides, this is also Ah Huan gave it to you, keep it as a thought."

Tao Zhen initially thought about whether to sell this thing to get some money. After all, human life is more valuable than things now. But after hearing what Mrs. Pei just said, this thing is not only precious in terms of price, but also an expensive spiritual sustenance. .

As Mrs. Pei said, this is the only thing left by Pei Huan.

"Mom, I'll go to the city later to grab some medicine for Pei Zhan and see if I can find any work."

Mrs. Pei nodded; "Ask A Zhan what medicine he needs. He knows it himself."

Mrs. Pei's words confirmed Tao Zhen's suspicion that Pei Zhan was indeed good at medicine, but Pei Zhan had not shown it at all before.

"Do you have anything to buy?"

Mrs. Pei shook her head: "I don't. If you like it, buy it. If it doesn't work, we will sell the bracelet. Things are dead, but people are alive."

Tao Zhen was startled and looked at Mrs. Pei in astonishment.

Mrs. Pei breathed a sigh of relief: "Money is an external possession, but talent is the most important. As long as a person is alive, he will have everything."

If there was a medicine for regret, she would rather suffer and be tired than let her eldest son and husband become unworthy officials.
