Chapter 169: Fighting for a grudge against Ayao
Pei Zitian obviously didn't expect to meet them here. When he heard his sister-in-law ask this, he could only make an excuse.

"There are some problems with the accounts of several shops in the east of the city, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to meet you here. How about this, I will treat you to a simple meal at Hanwu Tower? We brothers haven't had a meal together for a long time. I wonder what you think?"

Pei Zisu was fine after he spoke, but the expressions of the brother and sister next to him became even uglier.

Their mothers were not on good terms with them at all, so they were destined to have no sibling friendship since childhood. In particular, Pei Ziyao disliked her second brother and second sister very much. She always felt that they were the same as Aunt An, who was always pretentious and deliberately did some pitiful things to attract their father's attention.

They all clearly have illnesses and are constantly taking medicine.

The eldest sister-in-law behaved like a normal person, while the second sister Pei Zixing not only hid at home every day, feeling sad about the passing of time, but also often acted as if everyone in the world owed her something and that everyone had to obey her, otherwise she would get sick at any time.

Because of this, the young Pei Ziyao suffered a lot of injustice from his second sister. Therefore, because Pei Ziyao disliked his second sister, he naturally implicated his second brother Pei Zitian, so he refused in a bad tone.

"Are you blind, brother? We have almost bought everything. What are we going to eat at Hanwu Tower? Aren't these things a waste? In the army, not even a grain of rice can be thrown away. If we really go with you today, what should we do with these things that we can't finish? Brother, don't think that you can ignore the family rules and teachings just because you have father's favor."

Pei Ziyao was not going to hold back when she spoke. Pei Zitian felt a little embarrassed by what she said. With a red face, he wanted to explain a little, but he also knew that the grudge between them did not arise overnight, so he could only endure it. As a result, Pei Ziyao did not appreciate her kindness and continued to speak sarcastically.

"We still have to go shopping, so I won't talk to you any more. You should go back quickly and stay with your father. Now your father is quite dissatisfied with your eldest brother's marriage. Let Aunt An choose a marriage for you that will satisfy your father. I want to see what kind of powerful character your future second sister-in-law will be? Is she worthy of being called my second sister-in-law?"

Jiang Shiyuan had never seen Pei Ziyao so unreasonable before.

In her impression, the girls in Xijing City could not compare to the open-minded and free Pei Ziyao, but for some reason, Pei Ziyao at this moment gave her an uncomfortable feeling, as if she saw those noble ladies who were equally petty.

Pei Zimiao, who was standing nearby, didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he disliked his second brother from the bottom of his heart.

The birth of the twins is even more miserable than Pei Zisu's. If it weren't for Pei Zisu's pleading and careful care, the two siblings would have been truly isolated and helpless in the Pei family's old house.

Therefore, although Jiang Shiyuan did not approve of her attitude, she would not persuade her, because she knew that the two siblings must have suffered a lot in the past years. It was so cruel for two people with unexpected lives to watch their father love their aunt and other brothers and sisters.

Therefore, as the eldest sister-in-law who had just married into the family, Jiang Shiyuan could only say something to smooth things over.

"Ayao is right. We have something else to say so I won't tell you any more. If you find someone you like in the future, your elder brother and I will send you a gift."

"What my sister-in-law said is true, but I haven't thought much about getting married yet. Right now I'm just thinking about doing a good job at the family business and not disappointing my father."

"Father would be disappointed in you? That's ridiculous. No matter what you did since you were a child, your father always praised you. How could he be disappointed? Unlike me and my elder sister, we were an eyesore since we were born. If we hadn't made some achievements in the army over the years, I'm afraid we would be living worse than Butler Dong in the old house." "Zimiao, shut up."

Pei Zisu suddenly spoke up, so Pei Zimiao had no choice but to listen to his elder brother no matter how reluctant he was.

As the heir of the family, Pei Zisu received a lot of training since he was a child. Therefore, he did not have time to care about who his father loved or cared about. He was more concerned about how to grow into an excellent head of the Pei family.

Looking at his second brother in front of him, although he also disliked him, he would not attack him as directly as the two siblings. This man looked like Wenxiu, but he did have some good skills in business.

The income from many of the Pei family's businesses was also linked to the pay of the Pei family army. Therefore, Pei Zisu did not want to get entangled in the grievances of the elders, so he glanced at Pei Zitian indifferently and said something.

"Okay, go back now. I'll host you and invite you over for a get-together some other day."

"Okay, then I'll follow Big Brother's arrangements."

Pei Zitian answered promptly and clearly, but after taking one look at the unfriendly looks from the siblings, he hurriedly left the scene. Looking at his back, Jiang Shiyuan felt an indescribable complexity.

Marshal Pei is hateful, and Aunt An is also hateful.

For their so-called loyalty, they caused too many other people to suffer misfortunes, including their mother-in-law, husband, siblings, and even their most beloved son. Perhaps he did not want tremendous power, but unfortunately, the actions of his elders ultimately made him lose the opportunity to get along with his brothers and sisters.

Then, Jiang Shiyuan asked Pei Ziyao and Pei Zimiao earnestly.

"Has Pei Zitian ever done anything bad to you and my third brother since childhood?"

When Pei Ziyao heard this, he was reluctant but had no choice but to admit it.

"No, but I just don't like him. Why does he get all the love from my father? No matter how well my third brother and I do, my father remains indifferent, as if we are just some kind of bugs. It's simply a joke! So I fight on the front line regardless of my life or death. Part of the reason is that I want to protect the peace of this land, and another part of the reason is to do it for my father to see, to let him see who is the best child in the Pei family and the most worthy of his love."

Hearing her almost angry tone, Jiang Shiyuan sighed and then spoke in a persuasive manner.

"It's not surprising that you have such thoughts, but it's not Pei Zitian who caused you and your third brother to live such a miserable life. In the final analysis, it's the love and hate between your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Aunt An. With your personality, you should take revenge when there's revenge and repay kindness when there's kindness. Why do you have to get entangled in a family member who has never hurt you?"
