Chapter 143 Uncle He's Identity Buried in Thunder
"Mrs. Hai has been oppressed for too long, so it's not surprising that she would do this. If Second Sister had been more virtuous, she wouldn't have been dragged into this. It's good that this matter is over. But after hearing what you said, I'm afraid Second Brother and Xiaoyue will also be implicated."

"My second brother's job at the North Gate ended, so he's now at home, occasionally going out with my uncle and cousin Yuankang. As for my fourth sister, she has found a good backer for herself, serving grandma every day. I wanted to help her, but unfortunately she is so scheming that my aunt and I have no idea what to do. It's better for my brother not to get involved in this mess."

Jiang Shiyuan's words make sense, but Jiang Shihui has a different opinion.

"You and Auntie mean well. Xiaoyue may not understand it right now, but she is my second uncle's daughter after all. Even though Auntie Hai is dead, I, as her brother, cannot ignore her. I'll talk to her alone some other day. Didn't you say that Grandma listens to me the most, and she relies on Grandma the most? If I step in, maybe there will be good results."

"I hope so. Since you want to try, then let's try."

Jiang Shiyuan didn't have any deep hatred for this cousin, he just felt that she was too thoughtful, and even if he helped her find a suitable family, she might not be willing.

But as his brother said, if he started with his grandmother, perhaps he could still find a good home for her, so he stopped interfering.

"By the way, brother, you have to meet someone when you come back this time."

"who?"

"The second daughter of the Geng family."

Jiang Shihui was not stupid. He knew that the person being mentioned at this time was most likely the candidate for wife that his grandmother had chosen for him, so he was silent for a moment and then asked.

"Is it the Geng family of the Imperial Censorate?"

"Ah."

"That's beyond my reach."

He still had a clear understanding of himself. With the status and background of the Geng family, they could choose anyone they wanted, so why should she marry into the Jiang family? So he also knew that there were many preparations made by his grandmother, and perhaps also the reason why his sister was about to marry Pei Zisu.

There haven't been many couples between Xijing City and the aristocratic families in Hanzhou, so he said this to himself jokingly.

"And I also benefited from the Pei family."

Jiang Shiyuan did not deny this, and then told him all about the times when his grandmother got drunk and made trouble in the Marquis' Mansion. Jiang Shihui now understood better why his father had to punish his second aunt so severely. It turned out that there was another meaning behind it, to make a warning to his father!

No wonder his grandmother wanted him to stay at home. She probably feared that he would get too close to the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion and forget that the Jiang family was his foundation.

"Alas, grandma has been so kind and virtuous to this family for so many years, but it's a pity that she has become confused in her age. She was tempted by money and wanted to establish her authority in the family, but ended up doing something bad!"

"Anian, please don't get involved in this matter anymore. I'll take care of my grandmother's side. You just need to wait for your marriage. As for the Geng family's marriage, if I can pass the imperial examination, I will naturally take the initiative to ask for it. If not, it's not good to shamelessly delay the girl's future!"

"Brother will definitely pass the high school entrance exam! I have prayed for you at Guanghua Temple, and the fortune stick also has a very good meaning, saying that brother's wish will come true!"

Everyone likes to hear nice words, especially when they come from one's own sister.

"Okay, brother will definitely work hard!"

The brother and sister talked for a long time. If the moon was not high in the sky outside, they would have been reluctant to part. After Jiang Shihui left, Liuhua came in and said.

"Girl, the ear room is ready. Take a shower and change your clothes first." They had been to Guanghua Temple today, and their bodies were stained with some incense ash, so they needed to take a shower so that they could sleep more comfortably later.

Liuhua has always been a meticulous person, so under her arrangement, Jiang Shiyuan took a comfortable bath. A lot of things were said today, and he was just excited, but after taking a quiet bath, he became a little drowsy.

The two maids took turns to loosen her hairpin, smooth her hair, and then took good care of it with hair oil. Only after they wiped it clean did they let her go back to her bedroom.

Fatigue overwhelmed Jiang Shiyuan, and he soon fell into a sweet sleep.

In her dream, she could still vaguely see Pei Zisu's hearty smile, and she followed him, feeling warm and at ease.

On the other side, Pei Zisu had no idea that he had entered the beauty's dream. At this moment, he was still in the study room in Ning'an Garden, teaching his younger brother Pei Zimiao a lesson.

"You were too careless about the incident at Lanyue Tower! If you hadn't handled the aftermath well, you would have been punished with the military stick."

"Brother is right. I was negligent. However, I only did this after my cousin Anian reminded me to do so. I don't dare to take credit for it. So we should fight. This is the only way to restore the morale of the army!"

Pei Zimiao had been in the army for some years, so he had seen his elder brother being punished, his father being punished, and other generals being punished. There was no difference because of their identities, so he was not afraid of being beaten with a military stick!
After taking a look at his younger brother, Pei Zisu waved his hand, and soon someone came out from the darkness. He began to give orders.

"Beating him with thirty military sticks, and then sending him to apply medicine!"

"Yes!"

Thirty military sticks would keep Pei San from getting out of bed for four to five days, so the punishment was severe, but he accepted it with pleasure, because only by being tortured could he feel at ease with the matter!
So after Pei Zimiao was taken away, other secret agents continued to report on the matter. What was different from the past was that this time, Uncle Nie was also there.

Although he had been the manager of the Pei family for many years, he still had the necessary sensitivity and could provide some advice to Pei Zisu from time to time. The secret agents also realized that this might be their contact person in the future, so they all listened with an open mind.

"After this transition from secret to public, you are not allowed to make any unusual moves within three years. Just live your life normally. As for other matters, I will arrange for someone to take over. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

These spies from Hanzhou had only one goal, which was to keep a close eye on Prince Yi's men, especially after the Lanyue Tower suffered a severe blow.

Pei Zisu has not forgotten how King Yi attacked Hanzhou, King Han and the Pei family in his previous life. So after his rebirth, if he were to muddy the waters again, Pei Zisu would feel that he was extremely stupid.

Uncle Nie was listening on the side, and he also approved of the Major General's approach.

However, the new batch of secret agents must be selected carefully, otherwise not only will the handover fail, but it may also alert the enemy!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone knocking on the door.

Uncle Nie frowned and immediately asked a question.

"who!"

The man walked into the study wearing a cloak, walked up to Pei Zisu and saluted respectfully, then put down the cloak and revealed his true face.

It was He Dafu's smart, capable, yet harmless face.
