Chapter 710

When Tao Zhen woke up, it was already broad daylight and he was already empty. Mrs. Pei and the others were having breakfast. No one called her this morning. It seemed that everyone knew what happened yesterday.

Yan Junxi glanced at her and quickly lowered her head. Her ears were red and she was just picking at the food in her bowl. She was extremely innocent.

Mrs. Pei looked as usual and greeted her for dinner as usual. Tao Zhen felt that the current situation was a bit strange.

How to put it, I know this, you know it, I know you know it, you know it, I know you know it, but we all have to pretend not to know.

Tao Zhen took the bowl and took two bites but lost his appetite. He subconsciously glanced at where Pei Zhan was sitting. The bench was still there but the table was empty.

Tao Zhen asked: "When did he leave?"

Mrs. Pei said: "I left before dawn. I said I wanted to leave as soon as possible."

Mrs. Pei knew that she felt uncomfortable, so she comforted her: "We will meet in a few days."

Tao Zhen didn't think so. The situation in the capital was complicated, and many people probably didn't want Pei Zhan to go back alive.

After eating, Tao Zhen still had no energy. She dragged her cheeks and looked at the dusty sparrows flying in the sky.

Mrs. Pei was making clothes on the side, but she either sewed them wrong or cut them too much, and she even pricked her hand with needles several times.

Tao Zhen glanced at her and knew that she was also absent-minded. Tao Zhen said, "Mom, don't do it."

Mrs. Pei put down the needlework in her hand and said, "You have to find something to do, otherwise you will always be thinking about it."

Tao Zhen couldn't understand her feelings, but she knew that Mrs. Pei must be sadder than she was.

Both her husband and her eldest son are dead. No one can understand this kind of pain. Now that her second son is no longer around, Mrs. Pei's uneasiness is visible to the naked eye.

Tao Zhen was silent for a long time and said: "It's strange. I didn't feel anything wrong when he was here, but when he is gone, I miss him very much."

In the past, she and Pei Zhan were busy with their own affairs. Sometimes they didn't think it was a big deal if they didn't see each other for a day. Now, they haven't seen each other for only a few hours. Why does she miss Pei Zhan so much?

Is it because they slept together that she became hypocritical?
Mrs. Pei felt that Tao Zhen was a little slow in terms of emotions. She sighed and smiled: "Young people are like this. I wish they could be together every day."

Speaking of this, she added: "But A Zhan has changed a lot in the past two years..."

I can't simply say what it has become, I just feel completely different from before, a bit...

Mrs. Pei suddenly frowned. Pei Zhan's behavior in the past two years was very similar to Pei Huan.

Gentle and elegant, except for being a little short-tempered in front of Tao Zhen, when facing outsiders, he is exactly the same as Pei Huan before.

Did they become similar because they were brothers?still……

Or is he deliberately imitating Pei Huan?
For some reason, Mrs. Pei suddenly felt uneasy.

No, he just got better.

Mrs. Pei comforted herself like this.

When Tao Zhen saw that Mrs. Pei had stopped talking, she thought she was worried about Pei Zhan and didn't say anything more. However, Mrs. Pei was silent for a long time and still asked: "Azhen, do you feel that Azhan has changed a lot?"

Tao Zhen nodded: "A lot has changed..."

When she first came through, Pei Zhan was so sinister and ferocious that Tao Zhen was scared to death of him. Every day he worried that this guy would suddenly go berserk and kill himself. But later he became better, like a puppy, very docile.

Mrs. Pei opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. Maybe she was overthinking.

They all thought it would be fast, but they didn't expect that Pei Zhan would be gone for several months. The winter in Yanbei was extremely long. It wasn't until ice and snow completely covered the earth that Tao Zhen got the news from the capital, but it wasn't Pei Zhan. It was sent to her by Zhou Zhizhi.

Zhou Zhizhi invited her over for tea and watched her hesitate to speak, looking very worried.

Tao Zhen looked at her suspiciously: "Is something wrong?"

Zhou Zhizhi said: "You gave me a letter during the day."

Tao Zhen looked calm on the surface, but felt a little disappointed in his heart. He wrote to Zhou Zhizhi during the day, but there had been no news from Pei Zhanyao for several months.

Tao Zhen was still not used to it. She had been with that man for three years, noisy and stumbling together, and she missed him every day. Tao Zhen finally understood what it meant to live like a year.

"Is there any news about Pei Zhan?"

Tao Zhen is not stupid. Zhou Zhizhi came to her specifically with a serious look on her face. She couldn't hide things, and Tao Zhen could tell there was something wrong at a glance.

Zhou Zhizhi observed her expression, but Tao Zhen looked as usual, at least there was nothing strange about her face.

She said, "Yes."

"What news?" Tao Zhen was worried.Zhou Zhizhi hesitated: "You...do you still like Pei Zhan?"

Tao Zhen nodded: "I like it."

She paused: "What's wrong with Pei Zhan? Tell me."

Zhou Zhizhi was really speechless, and after a while she gritted her teeth and said, "Dian Tian said... Tian Tian said that His Majesty is going to grant him a marriage."

hum!
For a short period of time, Tao Zhen didn't realize what Zhou Zhizhi said.

Marriage?Pei Zhan?
"With whom?" Tao Zhen was confused.

"It's a princess." Zhou Zhizhi said: "Tao Zhen, calm down first, this may not be true..."

Tao Zhen didn't even listen to what Zhou Zhizhi said later.

She only felt that the winter in Yanbei was really cold, and the wind blew the snow foam on her face like a knife.

Until now, she was still a little dazed, as if she had been hit on the head with a stick. It took a long time after she walked out to feel some pain.

Unknowingly, she walked to the door of Ning Hao's house. Ning's mansion was very deserted. It was enough for Ning Hao, a single man, to live in this house alone.

Just when Tao Zhen was hesitating to go in, Ning Hao's voice came from behind: "Why are you here?"

Ning Hao was a little surprised when he saw Tao Zhen's red face and somewhat lost expression. In his impression, Tao Zhen was never like this.

"Come in and talk."

Tao Zhen said: "No, I just have something to ask you."

Ning Hao raised his eyebrows: "Then let's come in and talk."

Ning Hao enjoyed it very much. It was very warm with the earth dragon in the room. After Tao Zhen came in, he didn't forget to look around. Everything in this room was really exquisite.

"This is Pu'er, try it."

Ning Hao poured her a cup of tea.

Tao Zhen took a sip and it was indeed very fragrant. She swallowed the tea in her mouth and felt her whole body warm up.

"Do you have any news about Pei Zhan?" Tao Zhen asked directly.

Ning Hao raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "You know?"

Tao Zhen frowned: "What do you know?"

Ning Hao said: "The emperor does have this intention regarding the marriage. In fact, it is not surprising. Pei Zhan's current status is a bit embarrassing. He has abilities, but the emperor does not trust him very much."

"So you want to get married?"

Ning Hao looked at Tao Zhen silently and said, "You have always been a very rational person."

Tao Zhen said: "No matter how rational you are, you are still a human being."

Ning Hao nodded: "Yes."

Tao Zhen continued to ask: "So, the emperor really granted the marriage?"

Ning Hao nodded: "Yes..."

Tao Zhen asked: "With whom?"

Ning Hao said: "Speaking of which, I am still an old acquaintance of yours, the Seventh Princess."

Tao Zhen had no impression of this seventh princess and had no idea about Pei Zhan's current situation, so she couldn't make a judgment.

Ning Hao looked at her with interest and asked, "Are you angry?"

Tao Zhen said: "A little bit."

After all, Pei Zhanba left ruthlessly and had no news for several months. Now that she was exposed like this, Tao Zhen was very angry, but being angry was one thing. Tao Zhen was still used to thinking rationally.

For example, how many people don't want Pei Zhan to go back, and what a difficult situation he will face when he goes back. The marriage must be the emperor's intention, and Pei Zhan has no right to say no. Otherwise, with just a word from the emperor, Pei Zhan can only go back to quarrying. Moving stones.

There are so many helplessness and helplessness in life.
