Chapter 473
Yan Baiqi was in a daze for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

That year Tao Zhen was only ten years old, and Yan Baiqi was only fourteen years old.

Before meeting Tao Zhen, Yan Baiqi never imagined how cruel and ruthless a little girl could be, and he never thought that he would like such a girl.

In the words of his mother-in-law, Tao Zhen was thoughtful, ambitious, and too ruthless to be his princess.

This was also the case. Tao Zhen never concealed her malice in front of him. When she was happy, she would call him Your Highness, and when she was unhappy, she would just call him Yan Baiqi.

Yan Baiqi was deeply attracted to her, her bad qualities, her good qualities, even the winter melon and pork ribs soup that she cooked with her own hands and always had too much salt in it, he could drink it cleanly.

Yan Baiqi never thought that one day he would lose Tao Zhen...

He walked over slowly and saw that Tao Zhen had drawn several naive pigs on the paper?

Yan Baiqi didn't know what she was doing with this painting, but it was quite interesting.

"Which one looks better?" Tao Zhen asked.

Yan Baiqi knew that she thought she was Bishui, so he said, "This is it."

Tao Zhen was not surprised when he heard his voice and packed his things.

Yan Baiqi asked: "What are you doing painting this for?"

Tao Zhen said: "Sell pork."

Yan Baiqi "..."

Why do I feel like I don’t understand Tao Zhen at all.

Tao Zhen explained to him: "I want to sell pork in the vegetable market."

Yan Baiqi nodded: "Are you short of money?"

Tao Zhen shook his head: "There was a shortage before, but now there is no shortage."

When Yan Baiqi heard her talk about the past, he seemed to remember something and said, "You have suffered."

Tao Zhen was happy: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this to make you feel guilty, and you don't have to feel guilty. After all, I came here on my own, and I had to do what I did before."

Yan Baiqi raised his head and looked at her with burning eyes: "Have you remembered?"

Tao Zhen shook his head: "No!"

Yan Baiqi was disappointed, but he soon regained his energy and asked, "Are you still used to living here?"

Tao Zhen shook his head: "I'm not used to it, and I always feel uneasy. After all, I didn't buy the yard, and the people around me are not mine either."

"if you are willing to……"

Tao Zhen said: "I don't want to."

Yan Baiqi stopped talking.

The two were silent for a while, and Tao Zhen suddenly asked him: "Pei Zhan went to Ninggu Pagoda with you. I want to know why you came back and he didn't?"

Yan Baiqi looked up at her with gloomy eyes, filled with anger that he didn't even notice: "Do you care about him so much?"

Tao Zhen and him looked at each other, neither of them letting go. For a moment, Yan Baiqi almost thought that the old Tao Zhen was back.

It seemed that the next moment, she would grab her collar, pull him to her side, look into his eyes, and ask ambitiously: "Yan Baiqi, after you become emperor, you can only make me queen."

The words he said back then were still in his ears, but the person in front of him no longer looked like his sweetheart.

"His mother is very worried about him. The Pei family is orphaned and widowed. If something happens to Pei Zhan, what do you want his mother to do?" Tao Zhen's words interrupted Yan Baiqi's thoughts.

Yan Baiqi felt as if someone had poured a ladle of cold water on his head, and he was chilled from the inside out.

After all, I still care about Pei's family and Pei Zhan.

Yan Baiqi narrowed his eyes and looked at Tao Zhen. For a moment, he almost thought that the person in front of him was not Tao Zhen that he recognized at all, and that she was simply a fake who had been replaced.

"Are you sad?" Yan Baiqi suddenly asked.

Tao Zhen said: "I don't believe Pei Zhan is dead."

"Really?" Yan Baiqi suddenly wanted to tell her that Pei Zhan was dead and buried in that barren mountain with no bones left.He had been waiting for the past two days, waiting for Tao Zhen to ask for news about Pei Zhan. He was not sure whether Pei Zhan and Yan Mingxiu were dead. After all, he had not seen the bodies with his own eyes.

Tao Zhen also asked this deliberately, in order to dispel Yan Baiqi's suspicion.

But just now she clearly saw the suspicion in Yan Baiqi's eyes.

What is he suspecting?Do you suspect that Pei Zhan is not dead, or is it something else?

Tao Zhen was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Since the Pei family has fallen, why should I follow you to Yanbei?"

Yan Baiqi looked up at her and smiled: "Don't you know?"

Of course Tao Zhen didn't know. He had just found it strange before. At first, he thought the original owner was a pitiful person who had been deceived. However, based on the recent clues he had obtained, this was not the case at all.

The original owner came to Yanbei with a purpose. She wanted to get something from Pei Zhan.

Could it have something to do with the Pei family?

Now the treasure map is almost incomplete than that of the Pei family. Could it be a treasure map?
That's not right. Yan Mingxiu has always been responsible for the treasure map of Prince Qing's tomb. It's useless just to get the treasure map from the Pei family.

Moreover, if they wanted to, there was no need to go to the trouble of killing the Pei family.

She knew nothing about the past, and Yan Baiqi was a good breakthrough point.

But Yan Baiqi is not a fool, he is absolutely flawless.

Tao Zhen was afraid that he would see something, so he did not continue.

This matter about the Pei family is so confusing that I have no clue at all. I can only find out after returning to the capital, breaking it apart, crumbling it, and conducting a thorough investigation.

Yan Baiqi looked at her with narrowed eyes. There was a depth and complexity in his eyes that even Tao Zhen couldn't understand: "You will know when you remember it and regain your memory."

Unless Tao Zhen remembered and returned to him, Yan Baiqi would never say anything.

Tao Zhen was a little angry. She looked up at Yan Baiqi, pointed at the door and said, "You can leave."

Seeing her angry look, Yan Baiqi suddenly felt that she was quite cute.

When he came out, he was in a very good mood.

The attendant looked at Yan Baiqi who was smiling and reminded: "Your Highness, the imperial concubine said before she came..."

Yan Baiqi's smiling face changed instantly, and he looked at the entourage with cold eyes: "I have not forgotten what the concubine said. You don't need to remind me what to do."

The entourage lowered his head, and Yan Baiqi suddenly stopped, turned to look at the yard behind him, and asked, "Can a person's temperament really change if he loses his memory?"

The attendant didn't know why he suddenly asked such a question, but he also knew that it had something to do with Tao Zhen. The attendant said respectfully: "I don't know, but Miss Tao has indeed changed a lot."

"Really?" Yan Baiqi looked back at the small courtyard, turned and left.

Tao Zhen watched his figure leave through the crack in the door, and then breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Her feeling was correct, and Yan Baiqi began to doubt it.

She could deceive Pei Zhan and Mrs. Pei that she was not the original owner. After all, these people were not familiar with her before.

Anyone who doesn't know can deduce that he has amnesia.

But obviously, Yan Baiqi couldn't be deceived.

The relationship between Yan Baiqi and the original owner was obviously closer than she thought.

For a while, Yan Baiqi didn't think much about it, but as time went on, he couldn't.

Tao Zhen leaned against the door and could clearly hear the cold wind blowing the dead branches outside.

Looking at the flames that were blown by the wind, Tao Zhen suddenly remembered something that she had ignored for a long time.

Why did the original owner commit suicide?
She voluntarily came to the Pei family with a purpose and voluntarily lurked around the Pei family. Naturally, she had some purpose. In this case, why did she commit suicide?

Did the purpose fail?Or did he commit suicide because he felt abandoned by the Tao family and Yan Baiqi?
