Chapter 135 Aunt Yang Rejects Her Husband's Intentions
Pei Zisu's words made Jiang Shiyuan escape from her fear of the ending for a short time. She looked at the man in front of her, still talking and laughing. Thinking that he might die early, she felt a little stronger in her heart.

She might not be able to change the fate of the country, nor could she persuade the royal family and the King of Han to stop fighting, but she was determined to save the life of the person in front of her even if it meant breaking her head, so after taking a long breath, she nodded.

"Well, I pray for my brother to pass the imperial examination smoothly, and for you to be safe and sound."

Pei Zisu had high office, generous salary, and admiration from all the people. However, the most basic thing, such as living a peaceful and safe life, was getting further and further away from him.

Thinking of this, Pei Zisu felt warm in his heart.

"Well, you and I are safe."

The two of them talked back and forth for a long time, and finally had dinner at Jiang Shiyuan's place before leaving. By the time he left, it was getting dark.

Jiang Huaishan paced back and forth in the Huaixin Courtyard until a servant came to report that General Pei had left the mansion. Only then did he feel relieved. Aunt Yang, who was standing beside him, saw that his brows had finally relaxed, so she stepped forward and massaged his shoulders.

"Master, would you like to drink some hawthorn water to relieve the symptoms?"

Even if the food at the palace banquet was still steaming hot when it was first served, it would become warm after a few rounds of drinking. So every time after attending a palace banquet, Aunt Yang would prepare some hawthorn water for him to avoid indigestion.

Jiang Huaishan nodded and added.

"Send two bowls to Anian and Shu'er as well. I see they don't eat much either."

"Master, rest assured. I have already sent someone to deliver it."

"Thank goodness you're so careful."

Jiang Huaishan patted Aunt Yang's hand and motioned her to sit down, then he spoke.

"Your Majesty's words are as good as gold. I estimate that the plaque and the shop will be delivered soon. I have prepared some money before. When the time comes, I will see where the location is. If there is a chance, I will also buy a house nearby. I will use it as a support for you. When the time comes, you can go out with her to have a look. If you like any place, tell me so that I can arrange it."

Aunt Yang was surprised by these words. She was shocked enough to hear that her daughter had received the emperor's great favor, and now he was going to buy them another house, which was something she had never dared to think about before.

Aunt Hai's face appeared in her mind, and she felt a little guilty.

They are both poor people in the backyard. They have always helped each other in the past. But now, she is living a good life thanks to her daughter, but Aunt Hai has no place to rest. It's sad to think about it.

So he sighed and started talking.

"Master, I am unlucky and do not deserve your concern. The Third Miss was able to receive this honor because of her own good fortune and the help of the First Miss. I dare not use this as an excuse to seek credit or reward. Besides, what do I need a big house for? I would be happy if I could stay by your side and serve you for the rest of my life."

She really meant it when she said this.

Jiang Huaishan also felt a little reluctant and guilty, so he told her what was in his heart.

"Since my wife passed away, I have lost interest in these love affairs, so I don't often come back to the backyard, and I haven't paid much attention to Shu'er's affairs. If you hadn't asked me before, I wouldn't even know that Shu'er was going to reach the age of marriage. I, as a father, really haven't been attentive enough, whether to you or Shu'er." "Anian is in charge of the family now, but she will have to get married soon. When she gets married, there will be no suitable person in the family, and all matters of the family will probably return to her mother. You will have to humble yourself and be a little girl again. Hui'er's marriage is imminent, and I, as a father, cannot hinder his future at this time, so remarrying is impossible. Do you understand what I mean?"

Aunt Yang nodded. She was not stupid. If she married a wife at this time, it would add a lot of obstacles for the young lady to enter the family.

"That's why I said I would buy you some private property. Even if your mother gets into trouble or something else happens in the future, you will have a place to stay."

"Master, no, the old lady will make things difficult for me. In the end, it was the second lady who instigated it. Now that the second lady is gone, the family is quiet. I don't often go to the old lady, so I will naturally be less troubled. As for the future, I don't want to make assumptions. Even if I have a house now, it doesn't matter. In the end, it will all be a handful of dirt, right? So, keep your money, the family will soon have weddings one after another, and they are all places where money is needed. Spending money on these things is spending it wisely."

Aunt Yang's humble refusal made Jiang Huaishan feel even more guilty towards her.

He liked Aunt Yang's thoughtfulness and consideration, and over the years, he had never had any other thoughts. If he were still the prime minister in Xuzhou, there wouldn't be so many things happening at home. In fact, he wanted to raise Aunt Yang's status.

But now, to be honest, he couldn't do it.

His son's future, his daughter's respect, the tranquility of the home, and the reactions of other colleagues all made him realize that Aunt Yang could only be an aunt in this life, so he had the idea of ​​comforting her by acquiring private property.

But she refused, smiled helplessly, and finally mentioned one sentence.

"Okay, if you don't want it, I'll add the money to Shu'er's dowry. She can bring more, and she can stand up straighter in her husband's family in the future."

Jiang Shishu was Aunt Yang's lifeblood, so when she heard this, she immediately knelt down in front of Jiang Huaishan and said with tears of joy.

"This servant would like to thank the master for his kindness on behalf of the Third Miss!"

"Get up, get up."

Both of them were old, but their relationship became much closer. When Aunt Yang snuggled in her master's arms, everything she had hoped for had actually been realized, so she would never dare to be greedy again.

If there was anything else that she was concerned about, it was that she hoped her daughter could find a good husband. Now, with these favors, she felt that there was a lot more hope for this matter. The more she thought about it, the calmer she felt.

The Jiang family's life was getting better and better, but in Prince Chun's mansion, Prince Song was becoming increasingly uneasy.

That night, I had nightmares one after another.

He couldn't tell whether it was the past or his own imagination, how come Jiang Shiyuan in his dream was already his wife!

At that time, she and I were in harmony with each other and had a deep love for each other.

He even drew her eyebrows and painted her eyebrows, and selected gorgeous clothes for her to attend the palace banquet. But when he looked at her carefully, it seemed that Jiang Shiyuan's brow was always filled with worry.

Bowls of medicine were delivered day after day. She became thinner and thinner, and gradually became different from the most beautiful woman in his heart. He also felt more joy when he saw the beautiful women outside. After that, he could not remember clearly until the news of his wife's death came...
