Chapter 130 Pei Zisu's Return to Beijing Brings Joy
The first to bear the brunt was naturally Jiang Huaishan. He stood up and looked at Prince Song, thinking that he was extremely hypocritical. It was obvious that the two families had torn their relations apart, but he was still eager to come forward to speak at this time. It was really laughable.
So, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, he spoke to Prince Song.
"You are too polite, my Lord. We cannot afford such a great gift from you. You should go back quickly, otherwise Princess Chun and your new concubine will probably complain."
"Don't worry, uncle. Even if they don't allow me to come, I will still come here according to etiquette. After all, you are also the family of the Crown Prince's Consort. I can't just ignore you."
The tone sounded as if he was going to take care of the Jiang family, but it was obvious that the Jiang family didn't want to have anything to do with his Prince Chun's Mansion at all. So Jiang Huaishan sneered, and then spoke bluntly.
"That is indeed a problem for the prince, but the Jiang family temple is small and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you. Please do not say these things again in the future. As for the matter of the prince's wife, you and I know it very well. If she can be taken care of in the palace, it can be regarded as the marriage between the prince and her."
Everything he said told Prince Song that he should worry about other things instead of harming us, so Prince Song's face turned a little ugly. After all, he had rarely been rejected so directly since he was a child. If it weren't for Jiang Shiyuan standing behind him, he would have lost his temper a long time ago.
"Uncle, what you said is illogical. Is it wrong for the Crown Prince to care about the Jiang family? I will take care of the Crown Prince's wife, but I will not break my relationship with the Jiang family. After all, we should have had a deeper connection in the past."
After saying that, his eyes swept over Jiang Shiyuan. With such an expression, even a fool could see his purpose. Jiang Huaishan was furious.
He and Anian were engaged at first, but they called it off cleanly later on, and the two families had never had any disputes. Why did Prince Song suddenly go crazy and pounce on her?
But before he could open his mouth, Mrs. Pei, the Marquis' wife, spoke up to protect her son.
"Prince, please put away your pretend affectionate face. If I remember correctly, you were very confident when you married the Crown Prince's wife. How come you changed your mind after just a few months? Everyone says that belated affection is cheaper than grass. I think your pretend affection is not even worthy of being cheaper than grass!"
"You! Madam Hou, be careful with your words. This prince is not someone you can attack just because you want to! Be careful of me..."
He was so angry that before he could finish his words, he heard a sudden voice from outside.
"Oh, the prince really cares about the Jiang family. It seems that I, who is going to be the son-in-law of Ren Da, am not attentive enough. I am late. I hope Uncle Jiang, the old lady, aunt and uncle will not blame me!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately turned around and saw Pei Zisu, dressed in a red-gold and black brocade robe with a waist belt, walking in. Behind him were Madam Pei and the third son of the Pei family. Although there were only three of them, they gave off a feeling of being oppressed by thousands of people, which made the Prince of Song, who had been a little arrogant just now, suddenly weaken a lot.
No matter how arrogant he was, he was just relying on his family background. But his family background was insignificant in front of the Pei family. Moreover, Pei Zisu was much more dazzling than him. So after Pei Zisu appeared, he became much dimmer.
When the people from the Jiang family and Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion saw him coming, they all looked excited, especially Jiang Shiyuan, who was even a little surprised. Didn't he say he would be back at the end of the month? How could he be back so early?
Pei Zisu's eyes passed through the crowd and fixed on Jiang Shiyuan.
It has been almost two months since the two of them parted. Although others did not know, Pei Zisu had already felt the agony. If the matter in Hanzhou had not been completed, he would have rushed forward long ago and would not have been "delayed" until today.
The tenderness in his eyes made Jiang Shiyuan feel at ease.
She didn't feel it before, but after today, this kind of care and love made her softer, so she smiled and looked over, then bowed to Madam Pei and said, "Hello, Aunt Pei."
Then he asked Pei Zisu without avoiding suspicion.
"Why did Cousin Pei come back so soon? Didn't you say you would come back later?"
"Things in Hanzhou have been almost settled. Ziyao stayed there to deal with the aftermath. I thought there were a lot of things to do in Xijing City, so I hurried back. I happened to meet my mother and third brother who were going to the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, so I changed my clothes and followed them."
In other words, Pei Zisu entered the palace after a long journey without even having time to rest. The meaning of that was obvious. He simply knew that the Jiang family or Jiang Shiyuan was coming, so he rushed to meet them.
Faced with his attitude, the faces of the people in the Jiang family and Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion changed from hostility to relief, especially Jiang Huaishan. He originally thought that this marriage might not be very satisfactory, but now with the entanglement and foil of Prince Song, he suddenly felt that the Pei family was better.
He liked his son-in-law Pei Zisu more and more. He stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"It's good that you're back, Zi Su. You and An Nian's marriage is almost ready. I've been waiting to drink your cup of son-in-law tea for a long time."
Hearing this, Pei Zisu smiled slightly, and realized that he had gotten the upper hand, so he stepped forward and saluted respectfully with his fists clasped towards Jiang Huaishan.
"Uncle, rest assured. I will personally supervise the completion of this matter when I come back this time. With me here, you will definitely get the cup of son-in-law tea!"
His tone was quite loud, but no one doubted it at all.
After all, who would not be confident in the face of absolute ability? Madam Pei said with a smile on her face.
"Good boy, you are worthy of being a child of my Pei family!"
"Aunt is right!"
He was not modest at all, and ended up making everyone laugh, except Prince Song, who looked unhappy. He seemed like a superfluous person and was so unwelcome standing here!
It was fine for the others, but for the three members of the He family, when they saw Pei Zisu, they were so shocked that they were speechless.
Jingzhou is closer to Hanzhou, but they have only heard of General Pei's reputation but have never seen him. Now, seeing him so ostentatious, handsome and handsome, it is really surprising.
But when he stood together with her own Anian, they were so well matched that aunt Jiang Huaiyi couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. Obviously nothing had happened, but it seemed as if everything had happened.
Her emotions were noticed by He Dafu who was standing next to her, so he smiled and patted her arm. Now the scene was a happy one for everyone.
