Chapter 168 Meeting Pei Zitian by Chance in the East of the City
Having been husband and wife for so many years and having three children together, it would be a lie to say that they have no feelings for each other at all, but it's not that deep either.

Therefore, Aunt An knew in her heart that the inexplicable struggles in her youth were nothing more than the result of her inner anxiety. Now that she had obtained everything she wanted, she naturally would not force anything anymore.

"I don't care about these false names, but I only ask for one thing. If we are both gone in the future, I want to be buried with you outside. In this way, I will not be the concubine of the master of the Pei family, but only your wife, Pei Changquan, the one I want to accompany for my whole life and for all eternity."

Marshal Pei took her hand and nodded. He thought so too.

He could let go of everything in the Pei family, even if it meant removing his name from the family tree. This kind of subconscious companionship was the result of the two of them thinking the same thing.

The two have spent most of their lives together, so they don't care so much about the offense from today's children.

They ate the meal quietly in the old house, while the four members of the Pei family outside began to search for things on the street in the east of the city.

Pei Ziyao would hang out in the east of the city whenever she had nothing to do, so she knew exactly which restaurants here were delicious and which were bad.

He soon led the three of them around in a circle, while the brothers Pei Zisu and Pei Zimiao followed behind, some paying and some taking things. Both of them were holding spears and swords in their hands. Before, they were killing enemies in the front, but now they were hanging all kinds of food. As the four of them walked, Pei Ziyao explained everything about Hanzhou to Jiang Shiyuan.

Unlike Xijing City, it was a capital city that developed after the establishment of Dasui.

Hanzhou has been the most prosperous and developed place in this land since a long time ago. The people here used to live a carefree life until the rebels in the south split away and established the so-called Southern Tang. Since then, Hanzhou has been forced to become the front line of the fighting between the two sides.

Especially the prosperous city.

"My brother was able to gain a foothold in the Pei family army so quickly because of the Battle of Fancheng. At that time, he only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and more than ten cities including Fancheng had been "occupied" by the Southern Tang for many years. My father had also attacked, but because the location was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was ineffective for a long time. In the end, he could only retreat to Shencheng. But my brother was smart and calm. During the years in Shencheng, he would disguise himself as a merchant and lurk in Fancheng. After finding out all the details of Fancheng, he began to defeat them one by one."

"Oh? How did you break it?"

"Of course, we took advantage of the collusion between officials and businessmen to oppress the people, and instigated many people to work for us in secret. So when the people of Southern Tang found out, 90% of the people in the city had already surrendered to our Dasui, and naturally we took Fancheng without bloodshed. And this was just one of the battles. We won seven battles and seven victories. Not to mention my father, even if my grandfather were resurrected, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such ability as my brother. So, sister-in-law, I'm not bragging. It's really enviable that you can have my brother as your husband. You don't know how popular he is among these aristocratic women in Hanzhou. Let's have a banquet some other day, and I'll take you to meet them. If they see you, I'm sure those women will know what kind of fairy my brother likes!"

Pei Ziyao didn't mean to attack Jiang Shiyuan by saying this. He was just saying some gossip to indirectly tell her how powerful her elder brother is. Jiang Shiyuan also understood this, so she listened carefully, and awe would arise in her heart from time to time.

For those who have lived in Xijing City for a long time, the joy of each victory and victory is only celebrated for a few days, and then forgotten after the storm. Most of the time, the news they hear is just about who won the battle, who recovered some lost territory, and who defended some territory, and that's all.

Even the names of those generals might not be known clearly. But for the people of Hanzhou and the soldiers on the battlefield, Pei Zisu's existence was like a god, allowing them to live peacefully, so Jiang Shiyuan felt proud of it.

Jiang Shiyuan was also genuinely happy about his defense of her just now. The fact that such a great hero in the eyes of the world would contradict his father for his own sake really made her feel that the marriage was worth it.

After looking back at Pei Zisu, he said happily.

"What Ayao said is true. I am also proud to be your sister-in-law."

The couple looked at each other. Jiang Shiyuan could feel Pei Zisu's endless doting on her. However, before their affection was over, they ran into an uninvited guest.

Seeing the surprise on that person's face, Jiang Shiyuan was a little confused, but when he saw that the expressions of the three siblings also became serious, he roughly guessed in his heart that this person probably had some old grudge against them. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

It was not until the man paused, stepped forward, saluted, and called out "Big Brother" that Jiang Shiyuan suddenly realized that the man in front of him must be the son of his father-in-law and Aunt An, that is, Pei Zitian, the second son of the Pei family.

The booklet that Princess Qinghuan gave him contained a very detailed record of the second young master. As the second son of Marshal Pei, he enjoyed all the love. Marshal Pei, who was usually strict and cold, was exceptionally gentle. In addition, Aunt An's temper was not hot-tempered or fierce, so she raised him to be as gentle as jade, and as kind as the moon and breeze.

In terms of appearance, he cannot compare to Pei Zisu, but because he looks very much like Aunt An, Pei Zitian is also rare and handsome. However, his appearance also has a gentle temperament. When Jiang Shiyuan saw him for the first time, he felt that he was slightly similar to Song Shi in the past.

However, at the moment, Pei Zitian's eyes did not have the same ambition and desire as Song Shiye's, but more of embarrassment and hesitation. But etiquette could not be abandoned, and then he bowed respectfully to Jiang Shiyuan and said.

"I've met my sister-in-law."

"Excuse me, second brother. Why are you here?"

Logically speaking, when they returned to the Pei family's old house today, the people they wanted to see were not only their father-in-law Pei Laoshuai and Aunt An, but also the two children born to Aunt An. Pei Zitian was the second child in the family, and Pei Zixing was the youngest daughter in the family.

One is eighteen and the other is thirteen, both of which are the right age.

However, the two did not appear in the previous occasion, but met here. Therefore, it can only mean one thing, that Pei Zitian was deliberately avoiding them. However, it is unknown whether he did so deliberately because he did not want to argue with his brothers or because he was really delayed by important matters.
