Chapter 134: The two groups are powerless to change the situation
"Why did you come back so suddenly? Last time I heard from my third cousin that you couldn't leave until the end of the month."

Jiang Shiyuan leaned in Pei Zisu's arms. Although he didn't hold her as tightly as before, he was still unwilling to let go. Jiang Shiyuan let him do it. Feeling the breath of the person in his arms, Pei Zisu felt a rare sense of calmness.

"My second cousin was there to deal with the flood control in Huaijiang River, so I returned to Hanzhou. Who knew that before I could even settle down, I received the news that Lanyue Tower was destroyed. My third brother said that you were there when the assassin attacked people. I was so scared that I lost my soul, so I came here after I finished my business."

There was no joking when he said this.

He was really scared.

It was not easy to get Anian to agree to marry him. If any trouble happened before that, he would regret it for the rest of his life. So as soon as the matter in Hanzhou was settled, he came here without even going home.

"I'm fine. On the contrary, my eldest cousin's wife has suffered the most. She is still in confinement. My aunt also said that she must stay in confinement for the full two months before she can go out. The child is fine, but she was born prematurely and is a little small. Now everyone in the Marquis' Mansion is taking good care of her."

"Yes, I heard about it. I will go to visit my aunt and her family tomorrow. By the way, I brought someone back from Hanzhou, Uncle Nie."

Jiang Shiyuan was a little confused as to when this Uncle Nie appeared.

"After all, going to Hanzhou for our wedding is just a formality. We will eventually have to move back to Xijing City. I am worried about not having someone to look after the Ning'an Garden, so I specially invited Uncle Nie to come. He is the elder I trust most in the Pei family. With him around, I can feel more at ease even if I return to Hanzhou and leave you alone in Xijing."

After hearing what he said, Jiang Shiyuan understood that Uncle Nie was deeply trusted by Cousin Pei. Although he had never met him, he knew that he must be a man of great righteousness, otherwise he would not easily receive such praise from Cousin Pei.

"Okay, I understand. Cousin, take me to meet Uncle Nie some other day."

"it is good."

Pei Zisu now had the feeling that he was going out to take care of trivial matters at home for his wife. This was something he had been looking forward to for a long time, so naturally the corners of his mouth rose. But when he heard the word "cousin", he couldn't help feeling a little angry, so he muttered something.

"I originally thought that you calling me cousin was a sign of intimacy, but just now I heard you calling the boy from the He family "cousin Yuankang" and I realized that I am still an outsider in your eyes. What should I do? I feel very sad."

His words made Jiang Shiyuan laugh. How could so much be said about just a title?
"Then what do you want me to call you?"

"Don't worry, we'll be able to change our mind after we get married."

Jiang Shiyuan didn't know at this moment that after they got married, every time they tossed and turned on the bed, it was the words "husband" that begged for mercy that made Pei Zisu's eyes more and more red.

The two hugged each other for a long time, and only separated when the Liuhua tea outside had been boiled three or four times. But even so, Pei Zisu's eyes never left her.

Liuhua was relatively calm. When he came in to serve tea, his face wasn't red and his heart wasn't beating fast.

But Luoluo was different. Her eyes kept scanning between her daughter and future son-in-law, with a smile on her face.

No matter how good-tempered Jiang Shiyuan was, he felt a little uncomfortable under her stare. When he saw his cousin's cheeks gradually getting red, he couldn't help but say something to Luluo.

"If you keep looking, your daughter's face will be so red that you can boil an egg on it. She is not like me, who is exposed to the sun day and night. Even if her skin is red, you can't see it."

Pei Zisu's teasing made the master, servant and all three of them laugh out loud.

Green ivy is lively by nature, so she bowed and spoke.

"Don't worry, young lady. I'll leave now. I'll come back after General Pei leaves." Jiang Shiyuan smiled coquettishly, but then she remembered something else, and her expression became serious again as she gave instructions to Liuhua.

"Have someone guard the yard. I have something to say to my cousin."

"Don't worry, young lady. I have sent everyone out."

She trusted Liuhua to do the job, so after the two of them left, Jiang Shiyuan told Pei Zisu what she had heard about Cheng Dengping in the princess's mansion.

After understanding the whole story, Pei Zisu said "Oh".

"I was wondering, how could Princess Qinghuan be interested in such a weak scholar? It turns out that the problem was caused by him. I have been loyal to the prince for many years. To be honest, Cheng Dengping is not a father at all."

Speaking of which, the King of Han is really unlucky.

It was difficult to have children, and he only had two sons and one daughter, but none of them was as ambitious as him. They were either narrow-minded, weak, or had unrealistic ideas. It was truly a case of a heroic father but a disastrous son!
"What would happen if the King of Han knew about this?"

"Not so good. Based on my understanding of the prince, if he really has other thoughts, he can abandon the prince!"

When Pei Zisu said this, there was a lot of indifference in his eyes.

In his heart, the King of Han was a true achiever who did not care about trivial matters. In times of peace, he might be able to take affection into account for his children, but once it came to a matter of life and death, not to mention Cheng Dengping who had never been by his side, even the Prince of Han who was lectured by him every day might not be able to do well, so Pei Zisu said so.

Jiang Shiyuan sighed deeply when he heard this.

Sometimes, she felt that it would be better for her not to be reborn. Knowing so many things that happened later, she was powerless to change them and could only watch the development of events. It was really a torture.

She was on good terms with Princess Qinghuan and was about to marry Pei Zisu.

She certainly didn't want her husband and her good friend to go to war one day, but the foreshadowing of such a thing had been laid in the struggle for the throne decades ago. Princess Qinghuan would not give up her control over Hanzhou because of her, and the King of Han would not give up his ambition to kill her because of the wife of his subject.

Therefore, when she felt powerless, she also felt a little more sad.

Feeling that the emotions of the people around him suddenly changed, Pei Zisu understood what she was worried about.

Not long after his death in the previous life, the King of Han rebelled, but he was defeated in the end because of the intervention of King Yi. The people of Hanzhou were brutally slaughtered by the Southern Army because they no longer had the strong support of the Pei family and the King of Han. Whenever he saw that, he felt a deep regret!

So in this life, he would not allow such a thing to happen.

Either strike hard and hit the target, or never strike at all.

If the King of Han really wanted to fight for the world, then before that, he would definitely settle the Jiang family and the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion so that they would not be implicated in this matter.

The two of them had their own thoughts. After a brief silence, Pei Zisu held Jiang Shiyuan's hand and said with a comforting smile.

"Well, don't worry about the future. Neither you nor I can predict what will happen, so just do what's in front of you. Didn't you say before that you wanted to go to Guanghua Temple? Can I go with you?"
