After rebirth, I became a national teacher
Chapter 40
They are all my aunt's confidants.
She couldn't even move, otherwise it would appear that she had ulterior motives and was guilty, which would be tantamount to incriminating herself.
Therefore, after returning to the capital, the group of people who came to give gifts would definitely inform the Zhang family's direct branch that Pei Jin had "strange diseases in his hands and feet."
By then, a reliable doctor will definitely be sent over there.
If she found out that Pei Jin was poisoned, she would have to push Chen Qingzhu out to give an explanation.
Counting the days, I'm afraid it will take at most half a month for people from the capital to come here.
She doesn't have much time left.

The Qin family is a well-known merchant family in the southern capital city, and they are actually not short of money.
Mr. Qin was also a man of great initiative. On the third day, he prepared the two offerings that Old Madam Qin had agreed to.
The Qin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to Cihang Temple again to deliver offerings.
This time they did not see Chen Qingzhu. Only the receptionist named Huiyun came to take the offerings and took them to the Cihang Hall to pay homage.
The two were not disappointed, because the temple master had said that she wanted to practice in seclusion and would not show up easily unless it was something important.
As long as they deliver the things, Taoist Huiyun will naturally mention it to the abbot.
A few days later, Mrs. Qin's daughter Zhenniang also left the confinement room after 42 days of giving birth.
Since the master of the Divine Envoy Temple had promised them that he would treat Zhenniang's face, they naturally had another chance to go and show off, so how could they miss it?
Early in the morning of that day, not only the Qin family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also the wealthy businessman Qin, rode their horses to Qin Zhenniang's in-laws' home to pick up Zhenniang to go to Cihang Temple.
Qin Zhenniang's husband's family was a farming and reading family in the southern capital city.
Her husband, Qiao Shiyou, was a scholar in his early twenties. Naturally, the family did not have much extra money, and they only had a three-story house in the capital city of Nandu.
The Qin family married Qin Zhenniang to him not for money, but in the hope that he could pass the imperial examination or even become a Jinshi, so that the Qin family would have more support in the future.
Therefore, in order to take into account the self-esteem of Teacher Qiao, Qin Zhenniang now lives in this small house with three courtyards with her husband's family and servants.
Of course, this was only on the surface. In secret, Qin Zhenniang gave the Qiao family a lot of subsidies.
When the doorman saw the father-in-law coming, he immediately went in to report. Not long after, Qin Zhenniang's husband, Qiao Shiyou, hurried out with his wife to greet his father-in-law.
Teacher Qiao has regular facial features, fair skin, and is quite tall. He also has a scholarly air, so he can be described as a handsome man.
Qin Zhenniang and Madam Qin had very similar facial features, with an oval face, slender eyes, and fair skin with a rosy glow. She was a pretty lady, but the only flaws on her face were the dark brown spots on her cheekbones.
Teacher Qiao said politely:
"Didn't mother-in-law come to pick up Zhenniang to burn incense today? How come father-in-law is here too? Father-in-law, come in and have a cup of tea!"
Qin Fushang said:
"If you have time today, go with them, mother, son, grandparents and grandchildren. You don't have to drink tea, you should go and burn incense early."
Qiao Shiyou passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen and had taken the imperial examination once, but failed. He knew very well that in Jiangnan, where literary culture flourished, he would need the full support of his Yue family to achieve higher honors, so he had great respect for his father-in-law.
He learned from Qin Zhenniang that his mother-in-law spent one or two thousand taels of silver to ask an unknown female Taoist priest to treat the spots on Zhenniang's face, but she was actually very unhappy.
That one or two thousand taels of silver could have brought him so much glory by spending it on meeting friends or attending poetry competitions, but he wasted it on such useless things.
Moreover, as a scholar, he considered himself knowledgeable and did not believe in such superstitious things at all.
"Since my father-in-law is going with me, I don't worry about my mother-in-law and grandmother continuing to be deceived. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if Zhenniang's face doesn't get treated. I am not a superficial person, so how could I let such a small matter affect the relationship between husband and wife? You really don't need to waste too much on this."
