Chapter 166 Drinking Tea Pei's Father Threatens
Marshal Pei's tone really has a sense of superiority and command.

Jiang Shiyuan looked at him. Without that terrifying aura, in her eyes, Marshal Pei was just an old man who cared a lot about his reputation and whose mind was not that simple.

When he thought of this setting, his impression of Jiang Shiyuan, who had never had a good impression of him to begin with, dropped even more.

Pei Zisu was eager to protect his wife, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. Even though the other party was his father, he was not afraid at all and spoke directly.

"Father, I am not your only son. Why act like a loving father? You'd better spend your time on others. I see that some people are already eager to find a marriage partner for their sons and daughters. Just take care of them. Why do you keep focusing on me? I finally married Ah Nian. I won't tolerate your slander. If you keep talking in such a confrontational way, then we don't want this cup of tea."

"What a joke! You think you can threaten me with just a few words? Go ask outside and see if it is more reasonable for the father-in-law to not drink the tea or for the daughter-in-law to not drink the tea. If you want to make so many enemies for her from the beginning, then I don't care. Anyway, you have made up your mind to stay in Xijing City in the future. If you don't want to come back, why do you have to kneel to me as your father?"

The words were very harsh. Jiang Shiyuan stretched out her hand to stop Pei Zisu who wanted to continue talking. She did not want the relationship between father and son to fall to the freezing point again because of her. To do so would make the relatives sad and the enemies happy, and it might also cause some trouble for Pei Zisu's originally smooth life.

So, he asked with a gentle expression.

"Father-in-law, what do you want me to promise you? Let me hear it. If your daughter-in-law can do it, I will do it."

She did not drag her feet, nor did she hide behind Pei Zisu and pretend to be aggrieved.

Such a direct attitude towards the problem made Pei Laoshuai feel a little more satisfied, but he was not willing to say how much he liked his wife, so he restrained his fleeting praise and spoke with a suppressed expression.

"If your body is not suitable for childbearing, I will not force you two, but I have only one request, that is, when Zi Miao has his first son, you must take him to your side and raise him as your adopted son. Wait until he grows up and becomes the next head of the Pei family. How about it? Do you accept this condition?"

"I do not accept."

Jiang Shiyuan answered calmly without even any hesitation or thought, and blurted it out. Not to mention Marshal Pei, even Aunt An beside him showed a lot of surprise in her eyes.

In her opinion, the master had already made a lot of concessions. Even though he knew that the eldest young lady was infertile, he did not force Pei Zisu to take a concubine to leave a bloodline. Instead, he asked him to choose a child from their bloodline to raise as an adopted son.

Seeing that the other party had the audacity to say that he did not accept such generous conditions, Aunt An became even more curious about Jiang Shiyuan.

Similarly, Marshal Pei was also shocked.

He knew clearly that his son, whom he had personally trained, was rebellious against him for many reasons, but he never thought that the wife his son married, who looked well-behaved and a lady from a noble family, had a tricky temper that even he could not handle.

So he narrowed his eyes, his expression darkened, and released the terrifying aura he had just shown to Jiang Shiyuan. "I'll give you one more chance, do you agree or not?"

"Father, even if you give me ten more chances, I still won't accept them. Regardless of whether the child can leave his biological parents, from the perspective of the general and I, I had already told him about my physical condition before we got married, and he knew it in his heart. At that time, I was not marrying someone above my station and I didn't want to marry, so it was the general who begged me to agree to this marriage. If now that I'm married, all the things we agreed to before have to be ruined, then I don't want this marriage."

After hearing Jiang Shiyuan's firm words, those present were both in awe and speechless.

Pei Zisu looked at his wife with a smile in his eyes and felt really good!

After all these years, there is finally someone like him who can make his father suffer a loss time and time again.

His younger brothers and sisters are somewhat afraid of their father, while his mother is more disdainful of him, so he always feels that he is alone in his rebellion at home. Now that Jiang Shiyuan is here, he gets along well with him, so he is happy to see Jiang Shiyuan being angry at his father.

"What a big tone you have! I, Pei, have lived for so long, but this is the first time I have seen a woman who doesn't care about the Pei family's marriage. Don't think that you can speak arrogantly just because your maternal family is the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion. My Pei family is not easy to bully."

Jiang Shiyuan did not retort immediately. She stood there calmly and looked at Pei Laoshuai.

In terms of status, Marshal Pei is not as noble as Princess Qinghuan.

She and Princess Qinghuan have known each other for many years and have become close friends, so naturally he has some abilities. It's just that she couldn't adapt to his terrifying aura at the beginning. But now she just regards him as an older Pei Zisu, and she feels much more relaxed.

"Father, you are overthinking. I have never relied on these positions to do anything. I also know the status of the Pei family in Hanzhou and Dasui. But I still say that this marriage is not forced by me. I agreed to marry here because of some conditions. If you want to destroy those conditions now and let me live in the backyard in humiliation, I don't want to. So no matter what, in the end, we can either break up or continue to maintain superficial peace according to the conditions agreed before."

"Well said. It is true that I, Pei Zisu, spent a lot of effort to get you my wife. Ah Nian, since you and I are already husband and wife, there is no separation. So you can do whatever you want. Under my protection, I will never let anyone boss you around, not even my father."

After saying this, Pei Zisu stood in front of Jiang Shiyuan, and then said something to Marshal Pei.

"You don't have to force your thoughts on us. No one thinks you are capable. My brother, sister and I have come this far because of our father's teachings and the support of the Pei family. But the three of us are not just ordinary people, so we deserve all this. I will not let you bully my beloved. I'm sure my father understands this very well."

He meant the four words "I understand this deeply" very strongly.

Pei Zisu's eyes flashed to Aunt An beside him. After so many years, Aunt An was still a little afraid of him. Even though her family had long been cleared of the charge of treason and she had obtained the status of a third-rank lady, she still felt a little nervous every time she saw Pei Zisu.
