Chapter 156 The New Couple Meets Mother-in-law Pei
The next day, after it was already bright, there began to be movement in Yincui Hall.

Everything for returning to Hanzhou was prepared early in the morning, so there was no rush. Pei Zisu woke up earlier than Jiang Shiyuan in Yincuitang. Looking at the woman beside him with flushed cheeks, he felt as if he had eaten honey.

After all, they became a family, so he gently kissed her forehead. It was this kiss that woke Jiang Shiyuan up. He looked outside through the veil and then asked.

"What time?"

"It's midnight, but if you're still sleepy, just take a nap. We won't leave until the afternoon anyway, so there's no rush."

"It's against the rules. I have to get up and pay my respects to my mother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zisu pressed down her shoulders as she was about to stand up, and then spoke calmly.

"Mother is not a person who cares about that. She just sent someone to deliver a message, saying that you should sleep a little longer and we can talk about anything after you wake up."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan did not continue lying there, but spoke with an apologetic look on his face.

"My mother-in-law is kind and generous, but I have no right to take advantage of her. I should go and pay my respects to her on the first day of my marriage. Cousin...my husband, please stop saying these things."

Pei Zisu couldn't hear anything else, but he was naturally very happy to hear his cousin calling him "husband", so he took Jiang Shiyuan's words as his own. He jumped up from the bed, tidied himself up quickly, and then shouted outside, "Come in and serve me."

Soon, the maids Liuhua and Luluo came in from outside. When they saw the two of them, they stepped forward respectfully, bowed and spoke.

"I pay my respects to the general and the young lady."

"You guys help the young lady wash up first, I'll go and get ready. Have you prepared the clothes?"

"General, I have prepared it and put it in the cabinet in the annex."

Pei Zisu didn't delay any longer. He stood up and walked outside, leaving the three of them, the master and the servant, some space to talk. When Jiang Shiyuan first saw the familiar maid, she felt a little embarrassed, but she quickly changed her mood.

After all, there will be many more things like this in the future, and you can't be embarrassed and shy every time. The more you think about it, the calmer you will be.

The sound of splashing water came from next door. The rooms on both sides of Yincuitang were converted into side rooms, so it was not surprising that one person used one. Liuhua walked up to Jiang Shiyuan and asked.

"Madam, do you want to take a shower?"

Jiang Shiyuan's face was full of fatigue and stickiness. If she was going to meet her mother-in-law, she would have to wash up. Then she lowered her head to glance at the bloodstains on the bed. She had promised not to be shy, but her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

Thinking of the exciting and confusing things that happened in the boudoir last night, she felt a little shy.

"Okay, go wash it up. You and Luluo are the only ones who can clean up the things in the house. I'm not used to other people."

"Don't worry, Madam. Before I came here, the old lady told me that everything that Madam needs should not be done by others, so Luluo and I will take turns here, and the work outside can be divided among the others. Fortunately, we have brought a lot of people with us, so we don't need to worry too much."

Liuhua's words made Jiang Shiyuan feel more attentive. Thinking that this was his grandmother's instruction, he felt even warmer in his heart.

After entering the ear room, Jiang Shiyuan saw the bucket of water that had been prepared earlier. She took off her clothes, revealing her smooth body. There were some light marks on her delicate skin, which were not very obvious. She was afraid that people would notice something wrong, so she quickly got into the water. Liuhua had heard the maids' teachings before, so she thought that the young lady's body would be covered with bruises. But when she saw this, she couldn't help but raise her lips, and whispered something in Jiang Shiyuan's ear.

"The general is really considerate to the young lady."

"Ah."

Jiang Shiyuan responded softly, and then soaked most of her body in the water. There was some soothing floral dew in the water, so as she soaked in it, she seemed to come back to life.

But because he had to pay his respects to his mother-in-law, Jiang Shiyuan did not delay any longer. After washing off the stickiness on his body, he stood up and began to tidy up.

She applied perfume and hair oil, both of which were jasmine essential oils with only a faint scent. If you were not close to her, you wouldn't be able to smell much.

Today she was still wearing a red wedding dress, and her hairpin was a gold hairpin inlaid with a ruby. Her face was powdered with peach blossom powder, and after drawing her eyebrows and putting on some red dots, she walked out of the ear room.

As soon as I went out, I saw Pei Zisu waiting there. He was standing under the corridor guarding him. The sunlight shone on him, making his red robe sparkle. After hearing the noise, he turned around and looked at me, with a smile on his face.

Jiang Shiyuan felt like his heart skipped a beat for a moment, but luckily the hot steam from his fresh shower was able to cover up the blush on his face.

When Pei Zisu saw her coming out, he went forward to greet her. Seeing her dressed like a woman, his heart felt even sweeter. Then he took her hand and went towards the yard where his mother was.

"Mother has never been one who puts rules above everything else. If she tells you that you don't have to come to visit her every morning and evening, just accept it. She never talks nonsense and doesn't like to socialize. All we have to do is be more respectful to her on a daily basis."

Pei Zisu talked to Jiang Shiyuan as he walked.

Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a difficult issue. Pei Zisu has heard a lot about this in the army, so he does not want such a situation to occur at home.

Especially if the mother does not want to go south and wants to live with them in Ning'an Garden, they will have to live together in the future, so it is better to make many things clear in advance.

Jiang Shiyuan nodded, agreeing with Pei Zisu's words.

Just by looking at how my mother-in-law and aunt get along these days, I can tell that she is indeed not someone who likes to stir up trouble. She has a quiet temperament and is a little cold to people, but she has a good heart, so Jiang Shiyuan is happy to get along with her.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, they arrived at Mrs. Pei's yard, which was in the northwest corner.

Originally, the name had not been posted yet, but when I arrived today, I saw the words "Taoran Ju" written on the yard.

It is obvious that she is very suitable for Mrs. Pei.

When I walked in, I found that this yard was kept quiet and elegant. There were few magnificent things to be seen. Instead, there were springs and many flowers and plants planted. Therefore, when I walked in here, it was like walking into a well-tended garden.

Looking at the yard is like looking at the person. Jiang Shiyuan understood that his mother-in-law had a noble character, so he thought about how to get closer to her in the future.

At the door of the main house, the nanny who had been with Madam Pei for many years had been waiting for a long time. When she saw the couple coming, she smiled happily and then shouted something inside.
