Chapter 86 Family Banquet

During the family dinner in the evening, Jiang Xihe was a little distracted. She kept recalling what Azhen said.

Pei Zhizhao sat next to Jiang Xihe, silently held her hand, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xihe leaned close to Pei Zhizhao's ear and explained in detail what A-Zhen said when he came. Pei Zhizhao frowned and asked in confusion, "A-Zhen thinks it was Xie Wumei who killed Liu Quanan?"

Jiang Xihe nodded, "But Azhen has no evidence."

Pei Zhizhao lowered his eyebrows and thought for a long time, "How long has A-Zhen been working at Huiren Medical Center?"

"Seven years."

"Since she knows Xie Wumei so well, why didn't she explain the situation to you at that time?"

Jiang Xihe spent an entire afternoon thinking about this problem, "Azhen told me that she has no evidence."

Pei Zhizhao shook his head, "No evidence is needed. Xie Wumei has been pointing the finger at Liu Tang. Back then, A-Zhen only had to say that Xie Wumei was always by Liu Quanan's side, and all the problems were solved."

Jiang Xihe also thought the same, "So after Azhen said this, I didn't dare to say anything else. Liu Tang had already resigned from her job, and Xie Wumei didn't embarrass her when she left. I really can't figure out what Azhen means by telling me these words now. "

Pei Zhizhao squeezed Jiang Xihe's little hand and comforted her, "The case is over. Don't go to Huiren Medical Center again without any evidence. I will ask Han Fang to investigate privately. Your safety comes first."

Pei Zhizhao could not forget the look in Xie Chengshan's eyes when he left the court. There was the excitement of a man hiding his thoughts after catching his prey.

Liu Tang placed the last dish on the dining table and sat down with Jiang Xifeng.

Pei Zhizhao glanced at the ten dishes, all delicious and delicious. The dancing candlelight reflected on the brightly colored elbow meat, which made people appetite and warm.

Jiang Xihe put the bowl and chopsticks in front of Pei Zhizhao and praised him, "These dishes are made by Liu Tang and my brother. When I think of them coming to Beijing, I don't know when I can eat them again. It makes me heartbroken."

Liu Tang smiled. He didn't dare to face Pei Zhizhao directly before. Now that his status is different, he is somewhat calm. "After Brother Xifeng and I have settled in the capital, we welcome Mr. Pei and Xiaohe to come to us."

Pei Zhizhao promised, "It only takes two days to walk from Ping'an County to the capital. We will definitely go there." Now his identity has also changed. If we really want to discuss it, he has to call Liu Tang sister-in-law.

Jiang Xifeng picked up the wine cup and said, "Master Pei, after I leave, Xiaohe will be left to you. Now in our Jiang family, we are the only two brothers and sisters left..." Jiang Xifeng did not continue, he was really worried about Jiang Xihe.

Pei Zhizhao understood what Jiang Xifeng meant, picked up the wine cup and promised, "Brother, don't worry, although the wedding is scheduled for next year, Xiaohe is now the wife of my Ming matchmaker, and the government has registered it."

Brother Pei Zhizhao still couldn't scream this, but he could guarantee that nothing like Li Chengye would happen to him.

Jiang Xifeng drank the wine in one gulp, and his cheeks turned red after a while, "I wanted Xiaohe to give up writing the complaint, but she refused. Liu Tang told me that after entering Beijing, she would open an embroidery workshop. I figured it out. These girls all have their own things they like, so I can only support them."

Jiang Xihe looked at Liu Tang, and the two of them chatted excitedly in low voices.

Jiang Xifeng sighed, "When I first heard that Mr. Pei agreed to Xiaohe's autopsy, I was still complaining about Mr. Pei. Now I think about it, what is liking? Isn't it just supporting them to do what they like, so I admire you, and I can rest assured that Xiaohe will do the autopsy. I’ll leave the grain to you.”

Jiang Xifeng drank another glass of wine.

Pei Zhizhao did not shirk, and exchanged cups with Jiang Xifeng. After a while, the two of them drank less than half of the jar of daughter's red.

Pei Zhizhao was not drunk, but Jiang Xifeng was a little over the top and talked too much. Jiang Xifeng gradually told Pei Zhizhao about Jiang Xifeng's childhood. Jiang Xihe tried to stop him to no avail, but Pei Zhizhao listened with rapt attention. Okay, those embarrassing things about Jiang Xihe when he was a child made Pei Zhizhao soften his lips from time to time and look at Jiang Xihe with affection in his eyes.

The four of them ate from dusk to almost curfew. Pei Zhizhao had not been so happy for a long time, and the smiles on his face gradually increased. Jiang Xihe said in his ear, "You should smile more, you see how good it is now."

Pei Zhizhao was very warm, and the soft thoughts deep in his heart were touched. He could only hold Jiang Xihe's little hand tightly, "Thank you for this."

Pei Zhizhao has been fighting in the northwest for these years, and he has long forgotten what home feels like. "Will we be like this in the future?"

Jiang Xihe shook his big hand back, and the breath of wine from Pei Zhizhao's mouth breathed on her face. She didn't hate it but had a strong aroma of wine. Jiang Xihe nodded, "Yes, but adults can't drink so much wine. I don't like it." "

When Jiang Xifeng heard this, he chuckled and put down the wine cup, "Xiaohe has forgotten my brother and only cares about Mr. Pei, right?"

Jiang Xihe blushed and grabbed Jiang Xifeng's wine cup angrily, "You all should stop drinking. If you want, save it for next time."

Jiang Xifeng looked at Liu Tang with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness, "Next time? Next time will be when Liu Tang and I get married."

This time it was Liu Tang's turn to blush.

Jiang Xihe thought of Aunt Zhao and asked Liu Tang, "By the way, what are Aunt Zhao's plans when you go to the capital?"

Liu Tang suddenly looked at Pei Zhizhao. Jiang Xihe didn't know why and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Zhizhao smiled lightly, "Aunt Zhao and Han Fang get along very well. Han Fang also told me that he wants to live with Aunt Zhao after we get married."

Jiang Xihe didn't expect it at all. Liu Tang smiled and said, "You have been busy with a case recently, so I didn't mention it to you. My mother is also a little embarrassed. She and Han Changsui are very good."

Jiang Xihe slammed the table and said excitedly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Since it's a family banquet, everyone should sit together, no one should be missing." Jiang Xihe looked at Pei Zhizhao angrily.

How could Pei Zhizhao disagree? "When I came, Han Fang went next door."

Liu Tang also thought Jiang Xihe's proposal was good, so he stood up and said, "Then I'll go home and invite them."

During the time Liu Tang left, Jiang Xihe learned about Aunt Zhao's relationship with Han Fang.

Han Fang goes to Aunt Zhao's breakfast shop at nine o'clock every day to buy breakfast for Mr. Pei. Aunt Zhao helps Pei Zhizhao cook at the Yamen at noon. The two have known each other for a long time.

During the few days when Jiang Xihe and Pei Zhizhao went to Tongshan Mansion, Han Fang ate breakfast at Aunt Zhao's. They had nothing to do at noon, so Aunt Zhao simply stayed with Han Fang to have lunch together.

One day, Aunt Zhao had just finished setting up the breakfast shop. A drunkard who had not sobered up came to the shop to make trouble. Aunt Zhao was frightened and cried. When the drunkard was about to attack, Han Fang happened to step in and subdued the drunkard three times. From then on, Aunt Zhao began to treat Han Fang started to have a good impression.

In the northwest of Han Fang's army, his family has long been gone, and the two lonely hearts are getting closer and closer. After Pei Zhizhao returned to Ping'an County, Han Fang explained to him his intention to marry Aunt Zhao.

Jiang Xihe knew what happened next. When Aunt Zhao and Han Fang arrived at the dinner table, Jiang Xihe was extremely happy. Life is full of surprises, and happiness is happiness.

So when looking at Pei Zhizhao, Jiang Xihe secretly vowed to help Pei Zhizhao find out the truth about that year. Only if there is no pain in his heart can happiness last long.
