Chapter 233 Cousin Su Returns to Hanzhou City
As for the private properties, it was not a small amount when added up. Mrs. Pei calculated them in her mind and it could be seen that Marshal Pei had shown great sincerity.

"Marshal Pei has good intentions, but the family seal will belong to Zi Su sooner or later. He is not in Hanzhou now, so it won't be of much use even if he keeps it with me. And your private property has probably been picked out. After decades, what good things can you leave behind? I'm afraid they have all gone into An's money bag. So let's be frank. It's not impossible to let Mu Shao go. You should convene a clan meeting immediately and hand over the family seal with good reason. Zi Su's wife and I will keep it for you until he comes back!"

Mrs. Pei could not make any verbal excuses. Since she wanted to give the gift, she should be more straightforward. This would prevent others from talking about it in the future and causing her son to have a bad reputation. That would be an unprovoked disaster.

Marshal Pei was extremely angry and looked at Mrs. Pei with a cold brow.

"I am still alive. If I call a clan meeting now, won't those who don't know the truth think I am dead?"

"That's your problem, not my problem. I've already given you the conditions. If you're willing, then you're willing. If you're not willing, then you're not willing. I'm not begging you."

Being held hostage by someone, Marshal Pei felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

But when he thought about how Aunt An looked last night, he knew that if he returned empty-handed today, Aunt An would probably kneel at the door of the house in the afternoon, and let the Pei family's family affairs be brought up again and become the talk of Hanzhou City. He didn't want that.

So he paced back and forth, punched the air a few times, and then agreed.

"Okay, I promise you, I will hold a clan meeting in three days. Once this is over, Mu Shao will go to see Ah Xing and do her best to treat him."

He didn't insist on saving the patient. After all, they had sought help from countless famous doctors over the years but to no avail. Now he was just doing this out of obsession.

Mrs. Pei nodded, thinking that this request was not excessive.

The couple agreed on a time and then said nothing more. It was a happy reunion for others, but in the Pei family, there was tension and only calculations of interests. Marshal Pei knew that he was not welcome, so he coughed twice and asked.

"Are the kids all right?"

"It's good that no one disturbs me."

After being retorted, Marshal Pei snorted and left the yard. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry, so he did not notice the inconspicuous carriage that appeared at the corner.

In front of the carriage sat a burly coachman with a ferocious look on his face. When he drove to the door of Pei Zisu's house, he said something respectfully to the people inside the carriage.

"My Lord, I will knock on the door."

"Well, just tell the servant that Su Sheng is visiting."

"Yes, my lord."

Su Sheng? The servant was a little confused when he heard this name. He had been with the Pei family for quite some time, but he had never heard of this name.

But since he was able to work as a doorman, he certainly had a good eye. He immediately sent someone inside to report, and even gave a polite smile to the ferocious-looking servant.

Mrs. Pei was just about to go back for breakfast when she heard the report from the visitor.

"Are you sure you heard correctly?"

"You heard it right. The man announced the name of Su Sheng. Madam, please come in." Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Mrs. Pei sighed. Instead, the nanny beside her was very excited and quickly spoke.

"That's an old acquaintance of Madam's from her family. Come in quickly!"

"Yes, I understand, little one!"

Although Nanny Wu overstepped her bounds, Madam Pei did not blame her, especially after learning about Cousin Su's long-standing friendship. She could only sigh twice, then straightened her appearance, waiting to meet this cousin of the Su family whom she had not seen for a long time.

When Su Sheng entered the house, he looked around and he was not unfamiliar with this place at all.

Although he spent most of his time outside making money in recent years, he actually visited Hanzhou frequently. It's just that Mrs. Pei didn't know about it. Even the three houses that Mrs. Pei bought for the children were partly his.

Looking at the prosperous atmosphere in the house, Su Sheng raised the corner of his mouth.

"Master Su is here."

When Mrs. Pei heard the maid's call at the door, she felt as if she was in another world. When she stayed in her grandmother's yard in the past, the maid outside would also call out like this, but at that time they still addressed him as "Young Master Su of the Su family has arrived", instead of "Master Su" like now.

We are old, all old.

When Su Sheng lifted the curtain and walked in, the person he saw face to face was the woman he had been dreaming about for most of his life. She was older, but she was still as elegant and calm as before. Perhaps it was because she was a grandmother, she had also become much more amiable.

Therefore, when Su Sheng saw her, he walked forward a few steps with a smile on his face, and then spoke.

"I haven't seen you for many years. My cousin seems to be doing well."

"You're too polite, cousin Su. You're better than you were back then."

Su Sheng is much older than Mrs. Pei. He has some white hair on his temples, not too much, but it gives him some of the temperament of a scholar businessman. Maybe it's because he is a scholar, so it would be the same even if he went into business.

That bookish air never disappeared, so when Mrs. Pei saw this, she sighed in her heart. If it weren't for these emotional entanglements, he should be a good official respected by the people now.

Thinking of this, my eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Su Sheng saw it, and Nanny Wu also saw it, so they found an excuse and left. Only the two people who had not seen each other for many years were left in the inner room. Su Sheng did not make any big moves, but just glanced at his cousin and then spoke directly.

"Your aunt has already conveyed your letter to me, but I came here today just to tell you that it's up to you to choose which path to take. It's up to me whether you're willing to wait or not. Although my initial idea of ​​doing business was indeed to help you gain a foothold in the Pei family, now it's not entirely for that. Doing business has its own fun, and I quite enjoy it."

In just a few words, all the helplessness in Mrs. Pei's heart was expressed.

"Cousin, why are you doing this? I'm stuck in the quagmire and I can't struggle anymore. You should spend your precious time finding someone to spend the rest of your life with."

"I won't advise you, and you shouldn't advise me either. If matters of the heart could be explained clearly, there wouldn't be so many unhappy couples and perfect couples in this world."

He was very calm when he said this, and he did not have the attitude of forcing Mrs. Pei to make a decision. Instead, he respected all her ideas, but at the same time he also made his own position clear.
