The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 27 Huo Xing
What surprised Tao Zhen was that Mrs. Pei never mentioned Zhang Li's matter since then. She didn't even ask about it. Of course, she might have asked in private, but Tao Zhen didn't know.

Li Hui asked someone to ask. If he wanted to do something, it would have cost ten taels of silver, but he was familiar with the person and was willing to reduce it to eight taels of silver.

Eighty-two...

In the past, the Pei family rewarded their servants with more than this amount. Even if the second master Pei bought a pair of shoes, it was much more expensive than this. But now, a penny is difficult for the hero. The Pei family only has three taels of silver left after all the rewards. If not, the money will last the whole winter.

Pei Zhan hasn't gotten his wages back yet, but he has only been working for a few days, and his wages are already pitiful. The pay may be less than one tael of silver. For them, eight taels is now an insurmountable gap. .

Tao Zhen thought and saved it slowly. Anyway, Pei Zhan's injury couldn't be moved now. Ever since Zhang Boutou's incident happened in the quarry, people from the Inspection Department were sent to guard it. It happened to be Mr. Huo. Li Hui said that Mr. Huo was much better than the previous officials, and he specifically told Pei Zhan that he could recover from his injuries before leaving.

This is good news.

Tao Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought to myself that Pei Laoer was really cruel to me, killing a thousand enemies and damaging himself eight hundred, hurting himself like that just to kill Zhang Bituou.

Pei Zhan's book was copied and Mrs. Pei's handkerchief was embroidered. Tao Zhen decided to go to Ningzhou. She wanted to buy some charcoal and other things. In winter, just relying on branches would not work, and she also had to return these things. , get the money.

Today's weather has become extremely cold, the grass and trees are completely withered, and even yesterday's dew has frozen.

Tao Zhen walked alone into the desolate wilderness, and could only hear her heavy footsteps.

Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves behind him. Tao Zhen stopped and looked back, only to see a carriage coming from the distance. It came from the exile village. Those who can afford the carriage these days are rich people.

Tao Zhen stood on the roadside and wanted to let the carriage pass, but the carriage stopped beside her.

Tao Zhen raised her head and met Huo Xing's cold eyes. She opened her mouth and said hello: "Master Huo."

Huo Xing looked her up and down. Tao Zhen's eyes were exposed, and her eyelashes were still covered with white frost. However, her eyes were really beautiful, and her red and phoenix eyes were very lively. When they blended in with the sky, she looked like a bird walking in the wilderness. Huo Xing suddenly became interested in the little fox that had become a spirit.

"Why are you the only one?" Huo Xing asked.Tao Zhen said: "My mother can't leave and has to take care of her little brother. Pei Zhan is injured and can't walk such a long way."

She thought Huo Xing just said it casually, but she didn't expect him to pause and say: "Get in the car!"

what?
Tao Zhen suddenly flashed his big eyes and looked at Huo Xing in astonishment. Huo Xing moved his eyes away and said nothing.

The scene was a bit stalemate for a while, but in the end Tao Zhen had no choice but to climb into the car.

There was a lot of space inside the carriage. Tao Zhen was sitting in the corner near the door. Huo Xing was tall, which made the space in the carriage much smaller.

Tao Zhen regretted getting in the car. It was really uncomfortable to be in a cramped space with a strange man.

Her toes were numb from the cold and she wanted to dig into the wall in embarrassment. She wished she could go to Ningzhou now.

He is an official after all, why don't he say something himself?But what to say?

Tao Zhen thought hard and couldn't figure out how to speak, so he finally asked dryly: "Sir, have you found Zhang Li?"

Huo Xing raised his eyes and looked at Tao Zhen. After getting into the carriage, Tao Zhen took off the scarf on his face, revealing a face as big as a palm. It was as white as fine porcelain. Her cheeks were a little red from the cold, which added to her plainness. It's a bit gorgeous, and its ears are red, making it look more like a little fox.

Tao Zhen regretted it after asking, because Huo Xing was staring at her. Did he find something?You won't doubt Pei Zhan because of this, right?

He was so kind enough to let her get in the car to test her and get information from her.

If she really got into trouble, Pei Zhan would definitely not let her go.

Tao Zhen shuddered.
