Chapter 170 Jiang Shiyuan cleverly persuades evil thoughts to suppress
In Pei Ziyao's heart, she didn't consider Pei Zitian and Pei Zixiang as her family at all.

But her eldest brother had also said such things to her, telling her frankly that they were right to hate their father, dislike Aunt An, or even blame their mother, because all their sufferings came from these three people, but her brother Pei Zitian had never had any bad intentions towards them since they were young.

I don't know what Aunt An was thinking. She is so deep-minded, but she raised Pei Zitian to be so cautious, hesitant and cowardly. With his current ability, he can't do anything that can threaten the three siblings.

Therefore, in Pei Zisu's view, it is enough for such brothers to do things for the family or for him. He will not deliberately get close to them, but he will not exclude them excessively either.

It's just that he said it many times, but the brother and sister obviously didn't take it to heart.

Every time they met, they were like fighting cocks. When he heard Jiang Shiyuan speak like this today, her words obviously touched his heart. For some reason, every time after listening to her talk, Pei Zisu felt that he was really blessed by God, and such a good wife was finally married to him.

Pei Ziyao felt a little uncomfortable listening to his sister-in-law's words, so he remained silent for a while.

Although Pei Zimiao was the younger brother, he was the first to react and then looked at his sister. Although he did not speak most of the time, he tacitly agreed with what his sister said, so he now felt that this behavior was a little inappropriate, and then he said to Jiang Shiyuan.

"What the eldest sister-in-law taught me is that we did have some misunderstandings. My elder sister just said what I wanted to say. Although I never said anything, I had the same idea as her. For so many years, we took out all the injustices we suffered on the second brother, so we never had a good face or a good tone to him, and even made sarcastic remarks from time to time. Now it seems that we are indeed a little petty, and I know I was wrong about this."

"I know I was wrong, and my sister-in-law was right to teach me that."

The two have been in the army for many years and have long forgotten even life and death, but they are always entangled in these trivial matters at home. They are obviously cheerful and generous, but they become a different person when facing Pei Zitian. Jiang Shiyuan felt more comforted when he saw that the brother and sister both admitted their problems, and then explained why he said so.

"My grandmother and second aunt did many wrong things in the past, but they are not the same. Second aunt is bad and grandmother is stupid, so second aunt should pay the price for her behavior. As for grandmother, the only disgusting thing she did to me was probably helping second sister snatch the marriage from Prince Chun's Mansion, but I don't care at all, so I don't have much resentment towards her. When I got married, my aunt said something to me. At that time, I looked at my grandmother's old body and felt that sometimes if we blindly fall into hatred, paranoia will make us more and more strange. If we keep punishing ourselves with the mistakes of others and let ourselves become that kind of person, that will be the biggest loss for us."

"So your resentment towards father-in-law, Aunt An, and even mother-in-law is understandable, but if you use it on an innocent person like my second brother, then how are you different from them? Right."

Both the sister and the brother were silent. They felt a little unwilling to hear their elder sister-in-law's words, but they also felt that the words made sense.

"Don't turn yourself into someone you hate. I don't have such a good mind to say that the greatest virtue in life is forgiveness, but I think sometimes only by letting yourself go can you truly feel the joy of taking a step back and having a broader world."

Jiang Shiyuan is a woman after all, so she is very knowledgeable when it comes to comforting people.

It was more acceptable to the siblings than Pei Zisu's simple and clear words. So although they were silent at the moment, their hearts were in turmoil, and they kept thinking about their inexplicable disgust and hatred for their second brother over the years, and how their second brother never argued with them, but turned around with a look of loss.

Only at this moment did they understand the meaning of their sister-in-law's words "don't let yourself become the person you hate", so when the two of them looked up again, their tone was much more sincere than before.

"We understand what the eldest sister-in-law said, but in the past ten years or so, we have done quite a few things against the second brother. It is not practical for us to change everything at once. But I promise here that I will adjust my mentality in the future and try to care less about the second brother's affairs."

"That's good. Don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes. You and my third brother have a bright future in the army, or even in the vast land. I believe that with Dasui's current situation, you will have the opportunity to be a marquis and a prime minister in the future, so don't let hatred blind your abilities. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"Okay, let's teach these two kids a lesson later. Madam is also hungry, let's go eat something first and fill our stomachs before we talk."

Obviously Jiang Shiyuan is younger than them, but Pei Zisu used the words "two children" to describe Pei Ziyao and Pei Zimiao, which made her feel a little amused and helpless.

The brother and sister next to them had never thought that one day their eldest brother would come out to smooth things over for them with a smile. Otherwise, when they were scolded by their mother or other elders, their eldest brother would protect them, but he rarely did so with a smile like this.

Therefore, he could feel that his elder brother had become a much softer person since he got married, which further strengthened Pei Ziyao's belief that his elder brother and his wife were a match made in heaven.

The few of them quickly put this episode behind them and continued walking along the east side of the city.

Some more delicacies on the stall were collected. In fact, what he said just now was just an excuse for Pei Ziyao to refuse. Based on the appetite of the eldest brother and the third brother, the things they had in their hands would only be enough to fill them up.

Unlike them, Pei Zitian, who was always cautious, looked a little depressed sitting in the carriage after encountering these things. Even when he returned to the Pei family, he still frowned.

After returning to his own yard, he never came out again.

He kept thinking about these things at home, and looked up at the yard he was in, but it was one of the best yards in the Pei family's old house, and the same was true for the yard where his sister lived next door.

And these were not the treatments that illegitimate children like them should enjoy. People outside had always said that their aunt was a scheming, vicious woman, and their father was said to be a foolish general who favored his concubine over his wife. They, the brother and sister, were even portrayed as the kind of people who took advantage of others and still acted ungratefully. Thinking of this, Pei Zitian felt that the grievances he suffered today were nothing.
