Chapter 232: The couple's feud
When Marshal Pei returned to the main courtyard, he saw Aunt An crying. He knew the reason. He sighed in his heart and walked forward.

"Everyone has their own way of living. After so many years, even if you really owe her, you have almost paid it back, but she is still so stubborn. Look at her, she doesn't behave like a lady from a noble family at all. Haven't we covered up enough of those things? If the prince knew what she had been thinking, I'm afraid there would be no need to worry about when she would die. She would have to be dealt with within the year."

When Marshal Pei said this, he was calm.

He loved this young girl very much, but that was also the result of loving the whole girl. Now this daughter hurt Aunt An's heart every day, so even if he liked her very much, he began to dislike her.

Moreover, in his life, he had three sons and two daughters, all of them were promising, except for this youngest daughter who was as moody as a poisonous snake. The Pei family would eventually fall into the hands of the eldest son, and based on what Pei Zixing had done, it was clear that she would not have a good ending.

So he even thought that if he couldn't protect her, he might as well take her to death with him. Anyway, she had deep resentment towards him and Aunt An in this life, so he might as well reincarnate them together and save them from torturing each other these days.

"I know she's ridiculous, but she is my flesh and blood after all. Her poor health is due to my fault. Therefore, starting tomorrow I will kneel in front of Madam, and I will beg Mu Shao to release her even if I die on my knees!"

"You! You are kidding! With her hard-hearted heart, you won't be able to get Mu Shao to come out even if you kneel down and die."

"Then what can I do? Tell me, do I really have to watch Ah Xing die? This girl is here to take my life. If she is gone, I don't want to live anymore."

Aunt An had said this many times, and Marshal Pei used to think that she was just saying this out of love for her daughter. But now it seems that she really did have such thoughts. Thinking of this, he clenched and unclenched his fists.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll go. I'll go, alright!"

Over the years, Marshal Pei has never compromised on anything, except for Aunt An, for whom he has made concessions again and again.

Aunt An also knew that this was going to embarrass Marshal Pei, so she said it with red eyes.

"Master, I will go with you. No matter how difficult it is for Madam, we are of the same mind after all."

"Forget it. If you go, she will be even more furious. Why bother? I'll think of a way."

Aunt An felt sorry for her master, but she also felt sorry for Pei Zixing. She sighed again and again, beating her chest and stamping her feet, and could not sleep well all night. It was not until dawn, after serving Marshal Pei breakfast, that she personally sent him out.

It was early in the morning and there were not many people on the street.

Also, because it was the first day of the new year, every household was staying indoors, so there was no one else on the road except some people sweeping snow.

Marshal Pei rode his horse and stopped in front of Pei Zisu's house.

There was no one else behind him, he came alone, so it was naturally him who dismounted and knocked on the door.

The servant guarding the gate was a clever young man. When he saw Marshal Pei, he immediately asked another gatekeeper to rush into the inner house, while he himself pretended that he could not lift the door bolt, delaying the process for a while.

Marshal Pei's face turned pale. Even a gatekeeper was turned away. It was true that the master taught the servants like him.

As soon as the door opened, Marshal Pei strode in. Although he was older, he was still intimidating without even getting angry, so he glared at the servant as soon as he opened the door, scaring him so much that he stepped back. "If you're so slow to open the door for me next time, I'll cut off your hands and sell you out! I want to see if your master will protect you!"

Hearing this, the servant was so scared that he immediately knelt down.

The grudge between the masters really brought disaster to innocent people. It would be better to change someone else to do such an unlucky job next time. He didn't come to his senses until Marshal Pei walked in for a long time.

He arrived early in the morning and caused a great commotion.

Mrs. Pei had just finished washing up when she heard the report from the visitor, so she sent someone to Jiang Shiyuan's yard without even having breakfast.

"Tell the young lady that she is ill and cannot see visitors, and the same goes for the children!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Coming to visit during the New Year's Day was nothing more than trying to look down on others by relying on their seniority. Mrs. Pei didn't want her daughter-in-law and grandchildren to experience such a disgusting thing, so after explaining everything, she walked slowly to the front hall.

Marshal Pei saw his wife who had arrived late. The two of them had also parted on bad terms last time they met, and this time, he had already shown a cold face and a cold heart before they even started talking. Mrs. Pei walked up to him and sat down, without saying hello to him, and asked directly.

"No one comes to visit you for no reason. Marshal Pei, just tell me, why did you come here today?"

"Since you don't want to waste time, I won't hide it. Ah Xing's body can't hold on any longer. If Mu Shao doesn't go and see her, she may not survive this year. Let's not involve the child in our grievances. I came here today to ask you to let Mu Shao go and take a look."

The first thing he did was to ask for a calligraphy. Mrs. Pei sneered.

She had been married into the Pei family for twenty years, but she had not had many opportunities to talk quietly with her husband. That was why she was too lazy to continue to argue with Marshal Pei.

"It's rare to hear the head of the Pei family ask for help. Logically, I should agree, but Mu Shao has never been my subordinate or my servant. It's not up to me to decide who she wants to punish or not."

"You and I have been married for many years, so there is no need to beat around the bush. She listens to you and will naturally agree if you ask her. It is not in vain to ask her to go. I have brought some things with me this time. Take a look. If you are satisfied, then accept it."

After saying that, he took out a small box from his arms.

The box looked quite old, and the rosewood color had a lustrous luster. It was obviously made of top-quality material and was often played with by people. When Mrs. Pei saw the box, her eyebrows moved slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

"This is the seal of the Patriarch of the Pei Family. With it, it will be easier for Zi Su to take over the Pei Family. I also left a handwritten letter before I came here and placed it in the old house. After a hundred years, Aunt An and the two children will move out. At that time, everything in the Pei Family will belong to the three siblings, including my private property."

This sentence seems light, but it carries a lot of weight.

The family head's seal would not be easily taken out until the old family head passed away. Now that he is still in good spirits, he took it out in advance. This is giving up power.
