Chapter 138: Chatting to ease Xiang's thoughts
After seeing that she agreed, Pei Zisu's expression relaxed a little, and then he helped her out of the carriage.

He was not drunk in the first place. He was in the carriage just because he wanted to talk to Jiang Shiyuan. When he saw her walk into the Jiang Mansion, he jumped on the horse in front and whipped the horse to leave.

The "princess's wedding" which was a big deal but little action ended hastily at the end of August. Not only the common people, but even the civil and military officials did not have much impression of it. However, after that day, the princess still tied her hair up into a bun like a woman.

But his appearance and mentality are still the same as before.

There were several gusts of wind and two rains.

When there are large tracts of red maple leaves on Jingshan Mountain outside Xijing City, it is considered the beginning of the golden autumn of September.

Today, Jiang Shiyuan is going to Guanghua Temple to burn incense, and Pei Zisu is accompanying him.

But they were not the only two there, as Old Lady Wang and Aunt Pei were also sitting in the carriage. They had also been planning to go to the temple to pray for the family a long time ago, but they just hadn't encountered the right opportunity.

With General Pei as my guard today, I am naturally happy to take the trip.

"Time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, Youyi is already one month old. She is much bigger than when she was first born. She is not smaller than other babies who were born on the same day."

When Madam Pei said this, her eyes were full of relief.

Everyone in the family is focused on their granddaughter. They even think someone's sneeze is too loud and they have to arrange for the person to be removed immediately.

"That's right. This time we have to beg Xiuqing in front of the real person. She has suffered a lot this time. The doctor said she needs two to three years of recuperation."

"Mother-in-law is right."

My cousin's wife Xiang is still in poor health. After all, she has suffered so much. She needs at least three or two years to recuperate before considering other things. Jiang Shiyuan has known this for a long time. Thinking of the things in his previous life, he said something.

"We really can't be impatient. My cousin's wife and brother are still young. It won't be so tiring to wait until Youyi grows up before having a child, right?"

Hearing her words, Pei smiled and replied.

"You little bastard, do you think that my mother-in-law and I are the kind of people who don't care about the life and death of our daughter-in-law? Our Wang family has no shortage of sons, and we won't be short of grandchildren in the future, so we can wait for five, six, ten or eight years. Xiuqing's health is the most important!"

"I just said it casually. When I went to visit my cousin's wife last time, I happened to meet the grandmother and aunt of the Xiang family who also came to visit. When they heard about my aunt, the mother-in-law, they praised her again and again! I thought to myself that they must know how good my aunt is, so they said those words to me sincerely."

Speaking of this, Pei was a little amused.

But in the end I still felt a little guilty.

"If I hadn't been so determined to go to Lanyue Tower, they wouldn't have suffered so much. You may not know that Xiuqing told me privately two days ago that she wanted to find a concubine to serve your cousin in his room, but I rejected her outright."

"Ah? How come?"

"She was scared by the doctor. She is already one month old, but she still has spotting. The doctor said she has some vaginal discharge and needs to be taken good care of. She must be feeling sad. Although she loves Youyi dearly, she still feels sorry for your eldest cousin. It's better for her to make arrangements for herself if she has to stay alone for several years."

When Pei said these words, Old Lady Wang sighed.

The wives in the Marquis's mansion were lucky after all. In this environment where men could have three wives and four concubines, there were no concubines. But there was also a reason for them to have children. If it weren't for the long-term treatment required for this disease, I'm afraid Xiang Shi wouldn't have had such an idea. Jiang Shiyuan also understood that she might have to go through this in the future, so she was speechless for a while.

The carriage was rumbling along, and when it was almost reaching Guanghua Temple, she spoke solemnly.

"My cousin's wife was just thinking about something wrong. No matter what, it's better to ask my eldest cousin. If my aunt is worried that my cousin's wife will have wild thoughts, then she should speak to my eldest cousin directly. I think according to his thoughts and ideas, he must have a way to properly handle this matter."

"That's a good idea. I also think Xiuqing hasn't completely let go of her worries. Su'er's words should have more influence than my words as a mother-in-law. Okay, I'll talk to him when I get back."

With just a few words, Pei solved a recent problem and is now in a very good mood.

Not long after walking, I heard Pei Zisu shouting outside.

"Aunt, we have arrived at Guanghua Temple."

The three of them, along with their maidservants, got off the carriage and soon saw the bustling Guanghua Temple. Even though they were still at the parking lot behind the mountain, they could hear a lot of lively sounds.

Many families in Dasui believe in Buddhism, so temples like this are the most peaceful and calming.

Pei Zisu walked up to Jiang Shiyuan without any hesitation, which made Pei tease him.

"You are so clingy now. When you get married in the future, I'm afraid you won't even want to go out. Your brother won't care about you, little monkey!"

"My father is even worse than I am. Aunt should know this better."

Pei suddenly shut up. She had experienced a lot about Aunt An in her brother's room. She was always acting coquettishly and half-heartedly. She didn't know why her brother fell for it. Even at their old age, they were still being so affectionate with each other.

Thinking of this, the flesh on his face twitched slightly, and he interrupted.

"You are so talkative. Can you criticize your elders?"

"My aunt has really been protecting my father's reputation for decades, but everyone present is not an outsider. Even Ah Nian will know about it after she gets married, so let's talk about it behind closed doors. It's not a big deal."

Pei Zisu was not afraid of his aunt's words. He said this to remind Jiang Shiyuan.

Madam Wang was of course aware of the twists and turns involved, and Jiang Shiyuan benefited from getting the booklet from Princess Qinghuan, so he had also heard about Aunt An, the "white moonlight" in Marshal Pei's mansion.

It was written in the booklet: Marshal Pei once said that he would be willing to sacrifice his life to accompany Aunt An.

After thinking of Aunt Pei's calm and composed expression, he felt that the Pei family's situation was also clear at the same time! So he started to interrupt.

"Okay, we are here for a mission today. Do we have to waste all our time talking? Cousin Pei, please lead the way. Let's go to the main hall to worship the Buddha first and then go to ask for divination."

"Together!"

After saying that, he didn't care too much about other people's opinions, and took Jiang Shiyuan's hand and walked forward together. Madam Pei shook her head helplessly behind him and said something to Madam Wang.

"You really have the same temper as your brother, but Ah Nian will surely be very happy in the future."
