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

Chapter 788: Has Pei Huan been here?

Tao Zhen and Xu's mother exchanged a few polite words, then talked about the old lady's body, and finally naturally brought the topic to the doctor in the mansion.

"Pei Zhan's medical skills are good, but he is a bit impatient and not as steady as others."

Xu's mother didn't think much and said, "Imperial Doctor Xiao Qin is very steady, but he is too steady, which is not good for him."

Xu's mother doesn't know medical skills, so she just depends on the results. Whoever cures the old lady has good medical skills.

Tao Zhen said: "The imperial doctor Xiao Qin is too young..."

She paused and said, "Speaking of which, who was the doctor in our mansion before Imperial Doctor Xiao Qin?"

Mother Xu said: "There was no fixed doctor before. Doctor Zeng at the front door would treat minor illnesses, and only the imperial doctor would go to him for serious illnesses."

Mother Xu said with emotion: "The imperial doctors are all in the palace to treat the nobles. They can be invited by anyone anywhere. In the early years, I invited Imperial Physician Pei several times, who is the father-in-law of the second young lady. Later, Imperial Physician Pei became the envoy of the hospital. Don’t come often.”

Tao Zhen smiled again and said, "Did my father-in-law come alone?"

She looked at Xu's mother and said, "Then...has Pei Huan been here?"

Xu's mother was stunned. Pei Huan must have become a taboo in the Tao family. Once his name was mentioned, everyone in the Tao family instinctively raised their spikes.

Mother Xu looked at Tao Zhen suspiciously and warily. Tao Zhen smiled and said, "I just asked casually."

Mother Xu stood up and said: "The old lady still needs someone to take care of her, so I'll go over first."

After Xu's mother left, the smile on Tao Zhen's face also faded. She knew that she was impatient, but the Pei Huan matter was still stuck in her throat. Although she knew that the result might not be good, Tao Zhen still wanted to investigate.

Who can I ask again?

Tao Zhen suddenly thought of someone.

Mrs. Tao was drawing her eyebrows. Recently, a kind of thin eyebrows had become popular in the capital and looked very good. She was about to try it. Just when the maid started to do it, she was informed that Tao Zhen was coming. Mrs. Tao moved her head when she was excited, and her eyebrows were drawn crookedly.

"Madam." The maid exclaimed and hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake. Mrs. Tao looked in the mirror at the ruined makeup she had put on all morning, and was so angry that she wanted to twist Tao Zhen's head off.

"What's she doing here again? She's not even as diligent as she is in the autumn wind."

Mrs. Tao shouted displeased.

Her voice was loud and could be heard clearly outside. The maid glanced at Tao Zhen awkwardly, but Tao Zhen smiled as if she hadn't heard the words at all.

The maid had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Second Miss... I miss you Madam... Come... and have a look."

Mrs. Tao's maid helped her wipe her damaged eyebrows with a handkerchief. Mrs. Tao said, "I'm not her biological mother, so she misses me? I'm afraid she's just happy that I'm not good."

The little maid didn't know how to answer the question and looked at Tao Zhen in embarrassment.

Tao Zhen suddenly said: "Madam, in my heart, you are my biological mother."

Mrs. Tao didn't expect that she was right outside the door. It felt really bad to be caught on the spot for speaking ill of others. She stayed inside for a while before coming out.

There was nothing strange on Tao Zhen's face. He greeted her warmly and said that Mrs. Tao's makeup looked good today.

Mrs. Tao sneered: "If you have something to do, just tell me. There's no need to pretend to be a mother and daughter with me."

Tao Zhen said: "I always dream about Pei Huan recently."

Mrs. Tao said: "Then you should think about whether you have done something wrong yourself, and he is so depressed that he comes to you in peace."

Even Tao Zhen, who was so shameless, choked at Mrs. Tao's words. She smiled and said, "How could that be? If he was looking for someone, he should be looking for the person who killed him."

Mrs. Tao didn't accept this. She didn't really believe it, but she knew that Tao Zhen believed it. Not only did he believe it, but he was almost fanatical about it. She used to go to Baohua Temple to offer incense, and she was the most active one. She donated her monthly money and everything. Gave it to Baohua Temple.

Mrs. Tao felt that this step-goddess was very nagging and had not been normal since she was a child. She often said strange things.Tao Zhen stopped talking in circles and asked, "Has Pei Huan been to Tao's house before?"

Mrs. Tao looked at her, wondering why she asked this, but she was still wary of Tao Zhen.

Tao Zhen looked at her sincerely and said: "I just want to know more about him." Then she lowered her voice and whispered: "I always dream about him, thinking that he is blaming me, and I want to go to the temple to worship."

Mrs. Tao relaxed a little, and now she looked like Tao Zhen.

She said: "Pei Huan has come here several times, always with his father."

Even she had to admit that Pei Huan was a handsome young man with a good temper. If Tao Ling hadn't been young, she would have wanted to give him to Tao Ling.

But now that I think about it, I’m glad I didn’t say it.

"Have he and I had any contact before?" Tao Zhen asked.

Mrs. Tao shook her head: "Of course not. He is a foreigner. How would you, a girl who has not left the court, have any contact with him?"

Mrs. Tao thought that Tao Zhen was questioning her ability as a housekeeper, and immediately retorted.

Tao Zhen didn't believe it. She squinted her eyes and looked at Mrs. Tao. If this was really the case, who was Yan Baiqi?
Mrs. Tao obviously thought of this as well. She frowned and said, "Pei Huan is a gentleman, and..."

She wanted to say that she was different from Yan Baiqi.

But he stopped talking.

Tao Zhen got the answer and was about to leave when Mrs. Tao said: "If you are really uncomfortable, go to Baohua Temple to worship. You always went there before."

Tao Zhen nodded, and after coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief and said this.There seems to be no contact between Pei Huan and the original owner.

But it seems that the original owner, like her, believes in ghosts and gods.

Baohua Temple!
Tao Zhen thought about going to see it one day.

When she got home, she found a carriage parked at the door. After asking, she found out that it belonged to Pei Ying.

Since Zhao Mei's death.Pei Ying has never been to the door before, this is the first time.

When she entered the door, she heard Pei Ying's crying voice.

"He and Cui Guiling have been in love for a long time, and that woman has a big belly..."

"I can't live anymore, he doesn't give me face."

"My mother-in-law is also attacking that woman. They dare to do this to me before the child is born. When that bastard is born, what chance will I have of living?"

Pei Ying kept crying. When Tao Zhen came in, she held back her tears and wiped them with a handkerchief.

Although Zhao Mei died, no one has forgotten what Pei Ying did.

Mrs. Pei was very disappointed with her daughter. She had been listening quietly. When she finished speaking, Mrs. Pei said: "Didn't you say that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? The yard will be lively when there are more people. Now it is lively. You What’s wrong with you?”

These words sounded familiar to Pei Ying, and when she saw Tao Zhen, she suddenly remembered what she had said to Tao Zhen.

But Pei Ying didn't expect Tao Zhen to tell Mrs. Pei.

After Zhao Mei died, Tao Zhen told Pei Ying that she was looking for her. Naturally, she wanted to make amends for herself after being wronged. Letting Mrs. Pei know about it would help her gain a new understanding of this sister-in-law.

Pei Ying couldn't get angry at Mrs. Pei, so she had to give Tao Zhen a hard look.

Tao Zhen gave her a smile back.
