Chapter 220 Pei Laoshuai's visit changes the situation
It is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and it is rare for the whole family to be together, so some things for the festival are prepared in the wooden house. The two maids are good cooks, and everyone is full of praise for this big table of home-cooked dishes.

Under Aunt Mushao's care, Jiang Shiyuan now also started to use a lot of soups that could increase her breast milk supply. However, at the banquet, everyone was more curious about the fingertip-sized mooncakes that could be eaten in one bite, because they had never seen such exquisite mooncakes when they were in Xijing City.

So they picked one up to try, and found that the taste inside was very special. It was actually made of ham. The diced ham had a salty fragrance, and the pastry was very crispy. It was completely different from the mooncakes they usually ate, so Jiang Shiyuan asked curiously.

"Mammy, what's that smell?"

"There was a cook in the mansion who came from Yunzhou. When they made mooncakes there, they liked to put stuffed ham inside. I saw it hanging in the kitchen before, so I wanted to give it a try. I didn't expect it to work, and the taste was no worse than usual."

The nanny was somewhat happy when she said this.

Perhaps he was also happy that he had mastered a new delicious dish.

After hearing this, Liuhua and Luoluo understood that the ham was for the young lady's health. They would cut a few slices off these days and put them in the soup for the young lady to drink, mainly to enhance the flavor. Now they didn't expect that it could be made into filling and wrapped in mooncakes, and the taste was special, so they ate two more.

Seeing that they liked it, Jiang Shiyuan put two more on their plates and then gave them some instructions with a smile.

"Even if you like it, you can't eat too much. If you eat too much of this, you're afraid your stomach will get bloated. Do you understand?"

Luoluo nodded. She naturally knew about this matter.

Everyone was having a reunion dinner when they heard a long howl. The others were fine, but Pei Zisu and Pei Ziyao didn't look very good. They turned to Mrs. Pei and said.

"Father is coming."

It was already good enough that they could keep it a secret until today. If Marshal Pei still couldn't receive any news, then it would be almost dusk. So Mrs. Pei put down the chopsticks in her hand and said calmly.

"What are you afraid of? Can he still pose any threat to us now?"

This was true, and because Jiang Shiyuan had not appeared in front of everyone for a long time, everyone was curious. Pei Zixing even spread some news that she was probably terminally ill and about to die. Pei Zisu responded by causing a lot of trouble.

Perhaps it was because of these troubles that my father discovered the clues.

Then he let out a long whistle into the air, and then stood beside Jiang Shiyuan, waiting for Marshal Pei to arrive.

In less than half a minute, he came riding over.

There was only an elderly follower following him, and no one else.

The moment he got off the horse, he saw the people at the table, and the children in the arms of two maids. At that moment, he felt angry that he was deceived and rejected by his family, but after seeing Mrs. Pei's cold expression, that anger was suppressed a lot. "Father."

"Dad."

"Lord."

Everyone stood up and saluted, except Mrs. Pei who remained seated. She was very calm, but when her eyes swept across Marshal Pei, she said something with a hint of sarcasm.

"At this time, Master Pei is not at home, what is he doing here?"

There was no emotion in her tone, and the maids had obviously heard her speak in this tone so many times that they were no longer surprised. However, Liuhua and Luoluo were a little shocked, as they had never seen Madam Pei with such a bad temper.

Marshal Pei walked closer and then sat on a stool. After looking at the table where most of the food was eaten, he couldn't help but sneer. He glanced at Pei Zisu and Pei Ziyao with dissatisfaction. Finally, he fixed his gaze on the two children who were still in their cradles and said something sarcastic.

"Why? Is it wrong for me, as a grandfather, to come and congratulate my child on his first month of life?"

"Of course that's right, but the old marshal also knows the current situation of the two children, so the couple does not plan to make it public during this full month. Old Marshal Pei still respects the opinions of the children. Please go back first. If you really want to make it public in the future, the post will be sent to the old house of the Pei family."

Mrs. Pei was no less frightened. She implicitly pushed Pei Laoshuai, the grandfather, aside. Pei Laoshuai was furious and slapped the table with his hand. The dishes and chopsticks on it were shattered. Not only the maids, but the nannies were also frightened, not to mention the babies.

Naturally, she burst into tears, and her voice was so loud that Marshal Pei couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Shiyuan went forward to coax the children. She didn't have a very good impression of her father-in-law, Marshal Pei, and now he scared the children to tears as soon as he came. It was conceivable that the children didn't like this grandfather very much, so their words and actions were less respectful than before, and they had some complaints in their hearts, but before she could say anything, she saw Mrs. Pei started scolding first.

"Marshal Pei has great authority, but remember this is not the Pei family's old house, and we are not concubines like Aunt An who can tolerate you again and again! So if you want to get angry, go back and vent it, don't show off here. If the children are more respectful in the future, it's fine if they want to call you grandfather, but if you insist on doing it too radically, what can I do even if I don't recognize you?"

"you!"

Marshal Pei had been at odds with Madam Pei for many years and he had never gained any advantage in any verbal exchanges. He felt somewhat guilty towards Madam Pei, so he was more tolerant. Besides, Madam Pei was not an unknown person and the power of the Xuanzhou Wu family was growing stronger.

In addition, she has also made extensive arrangements in Hanzhou over the years, so Marshal Pei was not so confident when facing Mrs. Pei. So when he heard such words, he could only suppress his anger and wait until the child calmed down before speaking.

"It's a good thing that Zi Su has an heir. Why do you want to hide it? And now the child is already a month old. Don't you plan to return to Hanzhou? How can you stay in this broken house to raise the descendants of our Pei family? I just heard the two children crying very loudly, which shows that there is nothing wrong with their bodies. Since they are born, they naturally have the responsibility as descendants of the Pei family, so it is better to take them back early and enshrine them in the ancestral hall and family tree as soon as possible! In addition, I have already chosen a name for the child, let's call him..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mrs. Pei.
