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

Chapter 705: There is no need to ruin his future just because of this.

Mrs. Pei asked Pei Zhan to apologize to Tao Zhen. Tao Zhen was actually not angry. It was quite funny when she thought about it afterwards. How old was she? It was inexplicable that she would just eat young grass and fight with Pei Zhan.

After the two reconciled, Mrs. Pei breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is this?" Tao Zhen asked, looking at the white porcelain bottle.

Pei Zhan was stunned: "Why is it in your hands?"

Tao Zhen said: "I found it in your clothes that day."

Pei Zhan reached for it: "Nothing, just some medicine to clear away heat and remove internal heat."

Tao Zhen held the bottle and said, "Really...but this bottle is quite beautiful."

She paused: "It looks like a bottle containing poison."

Pei Zhan laughed dryly: "It doesn't matter, where did so many poisons come from?"

Tao Zhen said: "Since it is a medicine for clearing away heat and removing internal heat, why don't you take a sip. If you take a sip, I will believe it."

Pei Zhan "..."

Pei Zhan didn't drink after all. When he went to bed at night, Tao Zhen heard something moving outside. When he went out to see, Pei Zhan also came out. Yan Junxi was also outside and glanced at the two of them.

Tao Zhen asked: "Is there any movement outside?"

Pei Zhan nodded: "It's gone now, go back to sleep."

After Tao Zhen returned, Pei Zhan walked to Yan Junxi. After a while, a man in black quietly came to Yan Junxi and said something. Pei Zhan narrowed his eyes. After the man in black left, Hua Ming also He came and said a few words in Pei Zhan's ear. Pei Zhan nodded: "Go ahead."

After Hua Ming left, Yan Junxi looked at Pei Zhan: "Do you want to explain?"

Pei Zhan yawned and said, "No."

Yan Junxi "..."

……

Xu Shangqing was troubled by the affairs in the village. Village Chief Xu also regretted it. He had known that he should not have been involved in the Meng family's affairs, but now it was too late.

"Shang Qing, you have to think of a way." Village Chief Xu said, "If this matter cannot be solved, dad will have no shame in going back to see the villagers."

Xu Shangqing could only go to Tao Zhen. Fortunately, he was lucky. Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan were having dinner at Ruifu Tower. Seeing him, Tao Zhen smiled and said, "Master Xu, what a coincidence."

Xu Shangqing breathed a sigh of relief, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't speak.

Tao Zhen asked, "Would you like to sit down and eat together?"

Xu Shangqing shook his head.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xu Shangqing nodded. He was silent for a long time. He didn't know how to speak. Tao Zhen was embarrassed for him. She knew that Xu Shangqing was a good official and she didn't like to embarrass others. Tao Zhen said: "Master Xu, please sit down. It just so happens that I also have a few words to say to you."

Xu Shangqing finally came over and sat down.

He raised his head and glanced at the other man on the table. He had seen him in Tao Zhen's shop last time. Xu Shangqing was somewhat knowledgeable, but he had never seen a person like Pei Zhan. His appearance was too outstanding, but this He doesn't like to be pushy. Whenever Tao Zhen talks, he never interrupts, and it's easy for people to ignore him.

He didn't know what the relationship between this man and Tao Zhen was, but since they were alone together, he must be a very important person.

Pei Zhan noticed that Xu Shangqing was looking at him. He also raised his head and gave Xu Shangqing a friendly smile.Xu Shangqing also nodded to him.

"Master Xu, would you like to eat something?" Tao Zhen asked.

Xu Shangqing shook his head: "I've eaten it."

He said this, but in fact he didn't. Xu Shangqing's salary was not high, and being an official in the capital cost a lot of money. But after all, he was a farm boy and rarely went out to eat. His life was considered frugal.

Tao Zhen ordered a few more casually, and while waiting for the food to be served, she chatted with Xu Shangqing. Xu Shangqing admired Tao Zhen very much. He thought to himself, no wonder so many people said that Tao Zhen was amazing. The last time they met, he and Tao Zhen It was very unpleasant, but now that she could sit down and have dinner with him, it was as if nothing had happened. Xu Shangqing had always regarded himself as a scholar, so naturally he was noble, but Tao Zhen could pick up on some of the things he said. ,and……

"Why are you so familiar with Dashun Law?" Xu Shangqing was surprised. Even in the yamen, except for people like him who specialize in this area, few people are so familiar with it.

Tao Zhen said: "To tell you the truth, I can almost memorize Dashun Law."

Xu Shangqing was very shocked, and at the same time he had other opinions about Tao Zhen. She was indeed not just an ordinary businessman.

After the food was served, Xu Shangqing also relaxed a little. When the conversation was almost over, Tao Zhen said: "I know why Lord Xu is looking for me. In fact, I am not someone who likes to bully others just because I have some power."

This was so false. Xu Shangqing thought it would be good to just listen to it. If he took it seriously, he would lose.

Tao Zhen said: "Since we are sitting together today, why not settle the matter completely. I personally don't have much opinion against Mr. Xu. No one is perfect. I believe you did not mean what happened back then."

Xu Shangqing drank a glass of wine. In the past, he only felt a little guilty, and occasionally sighed when he thought about it. But after seeing Jixiang and knowing what happened to him, his guilt grew day by day. He regretted countless times why he had to take that piece of wine with him. Talk things out.

It's a pity that it's useless to regret.

He wanted to ask Jixiang to apologize, but Jixiang wouldn't accept it.

Tao Zhen said: "Whether it is unintentional or not, the damage to Ji Xiang has been done. I know how you think of him..."

Xu Shangqing said: "I didn't..."

Tao Zhen sneered: "You do."

Xu Shangqing stopped talking.

Tao Zhen put down his chopsticks, looked at Xu Shangqing and said: "I find it difficult to accept your behavior and the behavior of everyone in your village, including your father. Originally, the matter was over, but Village Chief Xu relied on his hands to do so. If a small amount of power is used to bully others and prevent others from having an easy time, then I will also let him know how much this small amount of power can do."

Xu Shangqing frowned. His father did indeed go too far, but that was his father and he couldn't say anything.

Tao Zhen put down his chopsticks, leaned back on his chair and said, "I don't need you to understand and tolerate Jixiang, nor do I need your apology. Of course, I will not suppress the people in your village without limit. I only have one request, let Village Chief Xu is a peaceful villager, but he is not suitable to be the village chief."

Before Xu Shangqing could speak, Tao Zhen said again: "As long as this requirement is met, I will say hello to Ningzhou in two years. These two years will be regarded as a small lesson to the people in your village."

After a pause, she said: "Mr. Xu, you are a noble son from a humble family. It has not been easy for you to reach this point. Think about it carefully and don't let your father affect your future."

Xu Shangqing thought of what happened to him not long ago when he was tricked by a man named Zhong. Although that story was not entirely true, it was correct. If it happened again, Master Mao might not protect him.

Xu Shangqing nodded, turned and left.

Pei Zhan put down his chopsticks and said, "I thought you were going to fight him to the death."

Tao Zhen: "I have no enmity with him, why should I fight to the death with him? Besides, one more friend is better than one more enemy. It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Xu Shangqing is smart and knows what to do."

Xu Shangqing came from a poor family, and it was not easy to get to where he is today. There is no need to ruin his future because of this.
