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

Chapter 423 A Letter from Home

Qin Yan went to get the money, while Tao Zhen stood aside and looked at Du Yunjian's paintings, praising him from time to time: "My brother-in-law is also very good at painting. The gentlemen at the academy all praised him, saying that he is very good at painting." He has great attainments, but in my opinion, his paintings are not as good as the ghost paintings of charlatans."

Du Yunjian was stunned: "Isn't your brother-in-law Pei Zhan?"

Tao Zhen said: "There is also a younger one..."

She paused and said, "Pei Zhan is not just my brother-in-law."

Du Yunjian was very happy. He thought Tao Zhen's words were very interesting and fun, completely different from her mother. After hearing rumors about her before, he thought she was just like his sister, a person who only saw men in her eyes and had no brains. Now It seems that he has become superficial.

The two of them chatted happily, Du Yunjian obviously relaxed a lot, and Yan Mingxiu was much more pleased with Tao Zhen.

Qin Yan came back soon and gave 500 taels of silver to Yan Mingxiu. Yan Mingxiu handed it to Tao Zhen and said, "It's for Yunjian."

Du Yunjian took the pen and continued drawing without saying a word. Tao Zhen took the banknote and put it carefully in his arms: "Thank you, aunt!"

Yan Mingxiu was stunned. When he came back to his senses and understood what Tao Zhen meant, he wished that when he skinned her now, Tao Zhen would have disappeared.

Qin Yan lowered his head and shook his body, struggling to hold back his laughter.

Du Yunjian smiled and his hands were shaking, and the painting he had been painting for a long time was stained.

This was Tao Zhen's revenge. Didn't Yan Mingxiu deceive her?She told his aunt that she was disgusted with him.

"I can't come to the house for the time being, otherwise Yan Mingxiu will repair me." Tao Zhen said happily, counting the banknotes.

Pei Zhan thought of the scene when she called his aunt in front of Yan Mingxiu, and could imagine Yan Mingxiu's expression at that time.

"Don't go either, I'm afraid he will love the house and the bird." Tao Zhen said.

Pei Zhan nodded, but he mentioned that he hadn't visited Yan Mingxiu for a while.

Tao Zhen saw what he was thinking and said, "I saw him very well these two times. He looked like he was about to die before. Since my uncle came back, he can jump and dance very well."

Pei Zhan didn't think so. Yan Mingxiu's body relied on various medicines to survive. It looked like nothing, but it didn't mean that he really was nothing. A little cold might kill him.

"How is Yanxi Tower?" Tao Zhen asked.

Pei Zhan said: "Fortunately, he is just slow."

Tao Zhen felt a little pity: "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Pei Zhan couldn't say, he felt that all the poisons in Yanxi Tower except the emperor's were eliminated, but he was just not good, and Pei Zhan had no good solution.

Tao Zhen put the banknote away, looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "Did Princess Anning give it to you today?"

Pei Zhan was funny: "I didn't give in."

"You are self-conscious."

Pei Zhan said: "It is impossible for the princess to like me."

Tao Zhen: "That's not necessarily the case."

What's so great about the princess? Pei Zhan is so good.

Tao Zhen completely forgot that a few months ago, she personally said that Pei Zhan had nothing but a face.

Nowadays, slaps in the face come very quickly.

It wasn't long before she came out. Tao Zhen wanted to go back to Ningzhou. She told Pei Zhan.Pei Zhan also wanted to go back, but when he went to Yanbei Palace to speak, the princess told him another thing.

"You should consider this matter and give me an answer as soon as possible. It can be seen that Xilou trusts you very much. I don't trust others to treat him."

Princess Yanbei took a sip of tea and said.

At the door, Pei Zhan met Huo Xing, who must have come to see Yanxi Tower. The two chatted for a few words at the door, and Huo Xing asked about the situation of Yanxi Tower.

"When will you return to Ningzhou?" Huo Xing asked.

"In just a day or two, Tao really wants to go back."

Huo Xing nodded and entered the palace.

……

Back in Ningzhou, Tao Zhen went to the academy to report first. When he saw Dean Lin, Tao Zhen remembered something very important.

Su Xun!She completely forgot about Su Xun.

"I'm sorry, Dean." Tao Zhen said very guiltily: "Has Su Xun never come back?"

Dean Lin drank tea and said, "The day after you went to Fucheng, he came back."

Tao Zhen “…”

He must have had a quarrel with his family, so he ran back.

"How is he?" Tao Zhen asked.

Dean Lin sighed and said: "It's okay, I don't know what he is thinking."

Dean Lin was also a little worried. This person was the one they focused on training after giving up on Lin Shu. The major academies also have competition, mainly based on their results. For example, how many people passed the exam that year. There are so many academies in Dashun. If you can pass the exam, A top three student is almost the same as being admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in later generations.

Su Xun is very talented, Tao Zhen has always acknowledged this, and the academy has high hopes for him. If he falls behind, it will not be easy for Dean Lin to get promoted soon.

Considering Su Xun's age, he must have reached the rebellious stage. He has been suppressing himself since childhood, and his sudden rebellion is more terrifying than ordinary people.

"What happened to him?" Tao Zhen asked.

Dean Lin shook his head.

What does it mean?
Dean Lin said: "Please help me to persuade him, I am still your student after all."

Tao Zhen “…”

She saw Su Xun during class, and nothing seemed strange about him.

Tao Zhen still talked like before, saying whatever came to his mind. Maybe it was because the weather was hot. These people were all dressed very tightly and had to sit very upright. Although Tao Zhen thought what he was talking about was quite interesting, there was still something wrong. Many people were drowsy.

Tao Zhen clapped his hands, waking up many people.

"You're all sleepy, aren't you? Then let's talk about something interesting."

Tao Zhen said it was interesting, then it must be very interesting.

Everyone became more energetic.

Tao Zhen said: "Let's do this. Whoever can fold a piece of paper in half seven times will be invited to have dinner at Tianxiang Tower."

Everyone laughed and said, "Do you keep what you say? If we all succeed, Mr. Tao will have to fulfill his promise."

Tao Zhen looked at them with a smile: "I keep my word."

Everyone started folding paper eagerly, and some people relied on their strong hands to press down hard, but in the end, without exception, they all failed. Everyone was annoyed at first, and then began to discuss in low voices, and the voices became louder and louder.

Tao Zhen didn't restrain them and let them talk.

"Really, you see, it can't be more than seven times. I've never noticed that before."

"Me too. One person is a coincidence, but two or three are not..."

Tao Zhen looked at everyone with a smile, and then glanced at Su Xun. Su Xun was staring at a piece of paper in a daze, and judging from his expression, he thought this was very magical.

Tao Zhen took the paper from his hand and drew two lying turtles on the paper with a pen, and another one standing upright. The fourth turtle was an image split open by a knife, and the following was A piece of cloth also looked like it had been split open with a knife, and the last piece was a man's head.

Su Xun frowned, unable to understand.

Tao Zhen took the paper and said: "Once upon a time, there was a husband who was doing business away from home all year round and rarely came home. His wife missed him at home, but she couldn't read, so she wrote such a letter home to her husband. As a result, the husband came home immediately after seeing it. Home.

Tao Zhen took the picture she drew: "This is what the family letter looks like. Whoever can guess what this family letter means will be rewarded with a good brush!"

When they heard that there was a reward, everyone became excited and wondered what it meant. Su Xun was also thinking about it, but he couldn't figure out what the cloth and the man behind so many turtles meant.

Someone said: "I know, sir."

Tao Zhen looked at it and saw that he was a familiar scholar, but she couldn't name him.

The man said: "With so many cuckolds, the wife of this family must have cuckolded her husband. The cloth in the back is the quilt they covered together, and the man after that is the adulterer. The meaning of the family letter is that the wife has cuckolded her husband." I want him to go home quickly and leave."

When he said this, the whole room burst into laughter, but many people agreed with what he meant.

But Tao Zhen shook his head: "It's not a big deal. This is a letter from home, not a confession."
