Chapter 186 A sudden visit arouses suspicion

"You don't have to worry about me every day. What can happen in the army? I eat well and sleep well every day, and my aunt and uncle check my pulse at any time, so the child is fine. I don't like to go out much. Now that I have been here for a while, even the female workers have become much better. Look, this is the bellyband I made for our child. Do you think it looks good?"

Jiang Shiyuan was not good at housework, but keeping the baby safe was the most important thing at the moment, and there was nothing else to do. It would not be good to wander around in the army every day, so she simply picked up needlework and learned how to tailor new clothes for the child.

Seeing the bellyband in her hand, Pei Zisu looked jealous and then said.

"This child is so lucky. He hasn't seen anything yet, but someone is thinking of making clothes for him. Unlike me, I have married a lady and brought her home, but I haven't seen a purse or handkerchief, or even a pair of socks. It's really sad."

He said this on purpose, so Jiang Shiyuan, who was amused, shyly took out a pair of socks from the pile of cloth. The stitching was not very beautiful, but it was obvious that the material was good. After handing it over, he said to Pei Zisu.

"I was originally thinking of practicing a little more. These socks are really not very presentable. But if you don't mind, you can try the material. I use the best quality. It absorbs sweat without covering your feet. When I become more skilled, I will make a few more pairs for you. You can wear them on a daily basis."

Pei Zisu never thought that he was just joking, and a pair of socks really exploded. He was so excited holding the socks in his hands that he hugged Jiang Shiyuan and wanted to spin her around.

But considering Jiang Shiyuan's health, he finally endured it and just walked forward and hugged her tightly. The maid Liuhua felt a little embarrassed when she saw this, so she walked outside. She would rather blow the cold wind than be an unnecessary person here.

"I didn't expect that Madam still takes good care of me. I apologize for what I said before. How can your work be ugly? I like it the most! But the child is still young. You can put aside the bellyband and other things for him and focus on me first. Socks are just small items. I still have underwear. These clothes need to be changed every day. When your craftsmanship is better, can you sew some outer clothes for me, or cloaks, boots, belts and purses are all fine. I will wear them every day and let those brothers who don't have a family see what Madam's love is!"

What he said was really childish, and Jiang Shiyuan was a little amused.

Many people in the army are unmarried, and even if they are married, it is impossible for them to have their wives around them like he does, so he is already attracting enough attention. If he really wears all the things she sews and shows off outside every day, then the reputation of him and his wife will be ruined. Thinking of this, Jiang Shiyuan said soothingly.

"General, please give me some face. I can't let you wear my craftsmanship outside to show off, so I'd better make something close to the body. As for the inner garment, I can promise to make you a set, but let's talk about the rest after we go back. The embroiderers I brought with me are all very skilled. I will ask them to make a few more sets. I can add a few strokes on them as a token of my appreciation. How do you think?"

"It takes a lot of effort to embroider clothes. How could I really ask you to do it? You just need to take care of your health now. If you need to take care of the children in the future, I'm afraid you won't have the time. I'm just joking. If you can make me as many pairs of socks as you want, just make them. I won't force you. As for underwear, it's fine. It doesn't matter whether I wear it when I meet you or not."

Pei Zisu's words made Jiang Shiyuan blush immediately. Although the two of them slept in the same bed every day, for the sake of the child, they did not do anything special at all, so Pei Zisu could only say some nonsense to tease his wife.

As a result, when Jiang Shiyuan heard it, he naturally had to retort to him.

"You are talking nonsense again. You are standing here in broad daylight without making any progress. If the soldiers knew about this, how could they obey you as a general?"

"If they don't obey me, who will they obey? With a general like me who only appears once in a century, how could they have any other intentions? Absolutely impossible!"

Pei Zisu's arrogance at the moment made people feel a little bit angry, but Jiang Shiyuan did not refute it. After all, it was true. At his age, he could have such achievements. He was really a talent from heaven. Jiang Shiyuan was also very curious about why he had endless ways to win battles. During this period of time, she heard countless details about his victories in the army, which could not be heard outside. If it weren't for Ge Huzi's gossip, she would not have had the opportunity to listen to it!

Therefore, she never doubted Pei Zisu's ability.

As they were talking, Pei Ziyao suddenly walked in with an unpleasant look on his face, and spoke bluntly when he saw the two of them.

"Brother and sister-in-law, when the second brother comes, please ask for a meeting outside."

"You're here, what are you afraid of? I've already blocked the news that your sister-in-law is here, how could he know about it?"

Pei Ziyao sneered and then said.

"My eldest brother underestimated my second brother. The first thing he asked when he arrived was whether my eldest sister-in-law was among the troops."

Upon hearing this, not only Jiang Shiyuan, but even Pei Zisu frowned. With such a direct question, it would be hard for them to hide it. Before Pei Zisu could open his mouth, Jiang Shiyuan said this.

"It's inevitable. Let him in. I want to hear what he has to say."

"Okay, I'll let him in right away."

Pei Ziyao walked out of the military tent and came to Pei Zitian who was not far away. After the conversation between her elder sister-in-law and her that day, she had let go of a lot of resentment towards her second brother. However, she couldn't be friendly to him, so she said to him with a cold face.

"Brother and sister-in-law asked you to come in."

When Pei Zitian heard the word "sister-in-law", his heart sank. It seemed that his sister was not lying. His sister-in-law really did join the army. But joining the army was not a bad thing. Why didn't she mention it before and just came quietly?
When he thought of this, and his sister's somewhat crazy behavior, he felt that some things should be said earlier, perhaps it would help the Pei family avoid disaster. So he took a deep breath and followed Pei Ziyao into the military tent with slightly heavy steps.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his eldest brother and sister-in-law. Neither of them avoided him, but they did not seem to welcome his arrival. Over the years, he had become accustomed to the eldest branch's indifference towards him, so he did not think there was anything wrong with it, and then he began to speak.

"Meet big brother and big sister."

"Thank you for your courtesy, second brother. What's the matter with your sudden visit?"
