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

Chapter 468 The First Snow
Tao Zhen was completely confused.

"That's it when he comes back!" Miss Fang sighed.

Tao Zhen looked at the siblings. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still asked uncertainly: "What do you mean? Who... is dead?"

Miss Fang was surprised: "That's the student from Yunde Academy. His surname seems to be Jiang. Don't you know?"

Tao Zhen didn't even know how he got out of the Fang family.
They were missing when she left, but they had not been found yet. Tao Zhen still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that they were not dead.

But now, when the matter was right in front of him, Tao Zhen couldn't accept it for a while.

do you died?
How many people?

How could they be dead?
His face suddenly felt cold. Tao Zhen touched his face and raised his head. Large flakes of snow fell down.

Ningzhou’s first snow of the year has finally arrived.

When Tao Zhen came back, Mrs. Pei was cooking. Pei Heng did not mind the cold. Zhengxiang stood in the yard and ate a big steamed bun. When he saw Tao Zhen, he ran back to the kitchen. Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "Wait a little longer." Wait, the meal will be ready soon."

After Pei Heng gestured for a long time, Mrs. Pei hurried out and saw Tao Zhen standing at the door. Tao Zhen's face was very ugly, white snowflakes fell on her shoulders, and her eyebrows and the hair on her forehead were covered with a layer of white frost.

Mrs. Pei was startled: "Azhen."

Tao Zhen came to his senses and showed Mrs. Pei a smile that was uglier than crying.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to A-Zhan?"

Tao Zhen shook his head and shook off the snowflakes on his body: "He's fine."

Mrs. Pei's cooking skills were as poor as ever. Tao Zhen gave Pei Heng a sympathetic look. Pei Heng didn't eat Mrs. Pei's cooking at all. He just held the steamed buns with pickles and ate them very seriously. He seemed to have grown a little taller. , also lost a little weight. Of course, this is not his fault. Everyone has to lose weight when eating the food cooked by Mrs. Pei, even Mrs. Pei herself has lost weight.

Mrs. Pei took a bite and smiled sheepishly: "There is no wrong seasoning. I don't know why it tastes like this."

She couldn't eat it herself.

Tao Zhen said with a smile: "Mom, if that doesn't work, just go out and eat."

Mrs. Pei wanted to refuse, but looking at her little son eating steamed buns and pickles, she finally nodded.

Tao Zhen briefly talked about Pei Zhan's affairs. She didn't say anything about the dangerous things about Ning Guta. She only said that they went to a small town in the north.

Mrs. Pei said: "It's okay. After you left, I kept thinking about it. Not long ago, I heard that the scholar from Yunde was found..."

Mrs. Pei sighed: "I don't know who did it. Such a good child, his parents must be so sad."

Mrs. Pei still remembers how she felt when she learned about Pei Huan's death.

I didn't believe it at first, and it didn't hurt much. Just like cutting flesh with a dull knife, the pain increases day by day, bit by bit, the heart is divided, and it becomes more and more painful.

"How is the exile village going?" Tao Zhen asked.

Mrs. Pei said: "After these scholars died, some people questioned the ability of the Fucheng Yamen to do things, and there was a quarrel for a while, but then there was no news. The quarry in the exile village was fine, but other places were not peaceful. Others say that the riot at the Shilipo Quarry was intentional by the Yamen, saying that the Yamen ignored human life and used the prisoners in the exile village as scapegoats."

Mrs. Pei added: "Although I am a woman and don't understand anything, this incident is obviously the fault of the Yamen. Many people in the exile village are not criminals with heinous crimes, such as Liu Huihui and Li Huixuanxuan. These children, with the title of prisoners, cannot leave the exile village..."

Mrs. Pei didn't understand these things before, but in recent years, she had to think more about some things.

What's wrong with children like Li Xuan?
In fact, Tao Zhen had thought about this before.Looking at Yanbei alone, the number of exiled prisoners is quite large. If these people are not managed well, they will cause trouble sooner or later.

"Master Huo has gone, and other adults from the Inspection Department are also at various quarries. Aunt Liu and the others haven't been out for a while, and I don't know what's going on."

In the coldest month of winter, people in the quarry do not farm, but come to the city to buy land. The government cannot detain them for a long time, but the inspection department is worried about letting them out.

Tao Zhen sighed, feeling that Yanbei was not very peaceful this year.

It had been snowing all day and night. Tao Zhen was used to Pei Zhan being around, but she was not used to his sudden absence.

You can't blame her for not being reserved. When Pei Zhan was there, not to mention the quilt, the whole room was hot. But when Pei Zhan was away, Tao Zhen could only curl up in the quilt that was like an ice hole, and it wasn't hot at all.

The north wind was howling outside, and she wasn't the only one who felt cold tonight.

The gate of Fucheng had been closed long ago. Yan Baiqi and his party stood outside the gate for half an hour before being let in.

Yan Baiqi's face was very ugly. He lost the Dragon Bone Powder in Ninggu Pagoda. Even the stone chamber was missing for unknown reasons, and those mysterious people were not traced out. Yan Baiqi had no choice but to return to Fucheng unwillingly. .

It just so happened that these people in Fucheng Yamen were not smart enough to let him wait outside for such a long time.

In the winter in Yanbei, it was very cold at night. When Yan Baiqi went back, everyone was frozen.

Yan Xilou remained silent all the way. When he returned to the palace, he had no reaction and went directly back to his yard.

Qingyun changed his outer clothes and helped him bathe and change. Yan Xilou's speech was still a little slow, but his eyes were obviously much clearer.

He didn't speak, and Qingyun didn't dare to say anything, but just stayed with him.

After a long time, Yan Xilou suddenly said: "Has Tao Zhen returned to Fucheng?"

Qingyun said: "Go down and ask."

Yan Xilou nodded.

Although Pei Zhan didn't come out, Yan Xilou didn't believe that Pei Zhan would die so easily.

If Pei Zhan is not dead, then this matter will be interesting.

Qingyun came back soon and whispered in Yan Xilou's ear: "Master, Tao Zhen came back in a few days, but he didn't see Pei Zhan. Tao Zhen returned to Ningzhou, and she doesn't seem to know about Pei Zhan. "

Yan Xilou nodded.

Qingyun added: "One more thing, the eldest son just went to see the second prince."

Yanxi Tower was not surprised.

Yan Mingxiu is a person who is hated by those who hate him, but those who like him will be devoted to him.

Yan Dongyuan was such a person. When his mother was murdered, no one in the Yanbei Palace came forward. In the end, it was Yan Mingxiu who stepped forward to avenge him.

For so many years, Yan Dongyuan has treated Yan Mingxiu as half of his father. Now that Yan Mingxiu has not come out of Ninggu Pagoda, Yan Dongyuan will never give up.
