Chapter 159 Jiang Shiyuan boarded a boat to start a new chapter
Jiang Shihui who was standing next to him took over the conversation and said something. His word "brother-in-law" made Jiang Shiyuan smile. She didn't expect her brother to accept her husband so quickly. She was happy from the bottom of her heart, so she walked up to her brother, bowed to him, and then said.

"I will probably not be back until next year after my trip to Hanzhou. Don't worry, brother. I will definitely be back before your exam and I will accompany you to watch the results announcement!"

"Okay, then I'll wait at home. You said it, and you can't change it."

"Of course, when would we, brother and sister, tell lies?"

The brother and sister looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

Old Madam Jiang and Aunt Jiang Huaiyi beside them could not help wiping away their tears. Their feelings for Jiang Shiyuan were naturally not as deep as Old Madam Wang's, but after all, it was a family member going on a long journey, so of course they were a little sad. However, they could not say much, and just told them to be more careful on the road.

On the contrary, when talking to Aunt Yang and his third sister Jiang Shishu, Jiang Shiyuan specifically gave some instructions.

"If you are unsure about any decision in Jinxiu Tower, please discuss it with father and aunt. As for the rest, my brother and aunt will take care of it, but the most important thing is your own opinion. Do you understand?"

She didn't say it too clearly, but her meaning was clear enough.

That is to say, regarding her marriage, Jiang Shishu would soon be of age, so if she really liked someone at this time, it would be a natural thing for her to get married. Therefore, although she was a little shy, she nodded and agreed.

She is different now than before and has some backbone now.

"Don't worry, big sister. I will take good care of grandma and dad. With my aunt and brother here, our family will be harmonious. You should be more careful on the road. If you feel unwell, don't force yourself to fight it."

"I see. Do you think your brother-in-law would be someone I would confront head-on?"

Jiang Shishu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. Yes, the whole Xijing city was talking about this marriage. Everyone was envious of the eldest sister because they knew she had married well.

As time was tight, they did not stay long and after a while they set off back to Ning'an Garden.

When they arrived at Ning'an Garden, the sun had already risen to the middle of the sky. After a simple lunch at home, the large group set off back to Hanzhou.

The fastest way to return to Hanzhou is naturally by water. Pei Zisu was originally worried that Jiang Shiyuan would feel dizzy after taking the boat due to his poor health, so he planned to take the land route. However, the result was somewhat unexpected.

Jiang Shiyuan didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she was looking at the calm waves ahead on the deck. Although the sun was a bit hot, it did not affect the excitement in her eyes.

The first time Jiang Shiyuan took a boat was when her grandmother picked her up from Xuzhou to the north. This time, she was going from Xijing City to Hanzhou. Looking back on her life over the past sixteen years, she suddenly realized that she had been traveling from one place to another.

She lived in Xuzhou before she was six years old, accompanied by her parents and loved by her brother. She lived in Xijing City for ten years after she was six years old, and was carefully taken care of by her grandmother, uncle and aunt. From today on, she has one more person from Hanzhou who she cares about in this world, so she is full of expectations for this trip to Hanzhou.

Pei Zisu stood beside her, letting her lean on him quietly. Feeling her joy, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Although he remained silent, his mind recalled some unpleasant things that happened last night.

He also didn't expect that Song Shi would actually come to Ning'an Garden to cause trouble.

Unfortunately, he was a fool. He was discovered by the Pei family guards hiding in the dark after just shouting twice. Naturally, they could not allow him to be humiliated like this, so they went forward and put a cap on his head and beat him up. They didn't beat him to death, but afterwards they threw him into the pile of beggars in the east of the city.

It's disgusting. The prince of Prince Chun's Mansion actually dares to covet the young lady of the Pei family. He is simply courting his life.

Pei Zisu's face also looked ugly. He also heard some of Song Shiye's mumblings before he fell into coma from the guards' mouths. What did it mean that the eldest girl was supposed to be his Crown Prince's Consort?
Is this because he knows something?
There was a murderous look in his eyes. If they hadn't set off for Hanzhou today, Pei Zisu would have come to their door long ago! Jiang Shiyuan knew nothing and still leaned in his arms, feeling this rare freedom.

The ship slowly left, but the story in Xijing City did not end.

Not long after his daughter and son-in-law left, Jiang Huaishan went to Prince Chun's Mansion.

The ones who entertained him were naturally Princess Chun and Concubine Zhao. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had originally looked calm, but after hearing that the Jiang family wanted to keep Jiang Shijin at home to recuperate, their faces became a little unhappy, especially Princess Chun.

There was a hint of disdain in her tone, and then she glanced at Jiang Huaishan and spoke calmly.

"Lord Jiang, do you mean that we don't take good care of the princess? Why did the princess return to her parents' home to recuperate? Isn't this asking outsiders to poke holes in our palace? If someone doesn't know, they might think that we treated the princess poorly and she felt wronged and wanted to hide back in her parents' home."

Concubine Zhao on the side also agreed with her mother-in-law and spoke to Jiang Huaishan with full of apology and concern.

"Master Jiang, what misunderstanding did my sister have? I just got married, so the prince naturally has to take better care of me. Did this make my sister unhappy? How about I go back with you to apologize to her, and take my sister back to take good care of her? Otherwise, if I let my sister go back to her parents' home to recuperate after I get married, it would be difficult for my Zhao family to live like this. I have sisters who are all wives in Xijing City. If they say that my daughters are jealous and intolerant, I would be really wronged."

Listening to Concubine Zhao's words, Jiang Huaishan couldn't help but feel that it was a good thing that his niece finally decided to stay in the Jiang family. Otherwise, if she came back and was tortured by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she would have no chance of survival.

Fortunately, he had been an official for many years, so he could naturally report such matters to the Lord. So his embarrassment was even more exaggerated than the other two, and he sighed again and again as he spoke to them.

"Well, I don't want to force the Crown Prince's Consort to stay at home, but for some reason she suddenly became a little crazy and started talking nonsense, always blaming others. I thought maybe we didn't handle the matter of Aunt Hai properly, and Aunt Hai pestered her, so she had such a high fever and kept talking in her sleep. So I thought it would be bad if she went back to the palace in this state. It would be bad if she offended us."

Then his eyes swept over Concubine Zhao's belly, and he said something in a low and mysterious voice.

"That child is probably heartbroken because she lost the baby in her belly, so now I'm afraid that if she sees someone else's belly, she might have other thoughts. It's always dangerous. The prince and Concubine Zhao still have plans to pass on the throne to the queen, so don't let Jin'er's child come back to affect them, Princess, don't you think so?"
