Chapter 235: Mother and Daughter Fall Out in the Family Temple

Chapter 235: Mother and Daughter Fall Out in the Family Temple
Warm days always pass by extra quickly.

Three days later, Mrs. Pei explained to Jiang Shiyuan the matter of holding a clan meeting and accepting the seal of the head of the family on behalf of Pei Zisu.

Jiang Shiyuan did not quite agree with this matter, but she knew very well that the grudge between her mother-in-law and father-in-law could not be resolved with just a few words, so people's hearts were biased, and she naturally sided with her mother-in-law, so she got up early and took care of herself and her two children.

Today, Madam Pei specially changed into the imperial decree dress for the wives of the Pei clan. The crown on her head was also extremely grand, and was specially made just like the dress. Seeing her so grand, Jiang Shiyuan suddenly remembered that she was also an imperial decree holder, so should she also change into this dress?

So he asked.

As a result, Mrs. Pei was stunned and looked at her with some curiosity.

"When did it happen? Why didn't I hear any news?"

"Princess Qinghuan sent it specially on the wedding day, but I didn't make it public at the time. I told my husband afterwards, and then we came to Hanzhou, and I didn't have the opportunity to mention it again. If my mother-in-law hadn't worn this dress today, I would have almost forgotten about it."

Mrs. Pei was suddenly speechless. It was such a great honor to be granted an imperial decree. How could her daughter-in-law have forgotten this?
After sighing and laughing twice, he could only say this.

"In today's situation, we can suppress whoever we can, so you should change. Both of us have imperial decrees, and even the elders in the clan should be more submissive."

After all, Pei Zisu was not present, so because of his higher status, those people could be more restrained.

Jiang Shiyuan nodded, and then immediately went back to change into the clothes for the imperial decree. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dressed so beautifully that when they arrived at the Pei family's old house, Steward Dong, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, was a little surprised.

These are actually two imperial ladies? !
Although he was surprised, he still had to observe the proper etiquette, so he walked forward quickly. Although he knew that the master was going to call a clan meeting today because something big was going to happen, he didn't know the details yet. He was still wondering if his master, Aunt An, was going to get some benefits from her. As a result, it seems now that he is very disappointed.

If it wasn't something that was beneficial to Mrs. Pei, why would she come dressed so grandly?

I felt a little nervous, but I still had to address him.

"I have met the Madam, the Madam of the Young Master, the Young Miss, and the Young Master."

"Lead the way."

"Yes."

Mrs. Pei didn't even want to say a word to them. Manager Dong could sense it and felt that the building was about to collapse and that he had chosen the wrong side!

The only thing now is to offend less people from the eldest wife. Maybe there will be a chance to retire and live in peace. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not have a good life.

Pei's old house, when Mrs. Pei entered this place, her face had never relaxed.

The most nightmarish period of her life was spent here, so she found everything unpleasant.

Compared to her disgust, the two children's eyes were bulging. The nannies held them, making them look even fairer and more noble. It was rare to hear such childish laughter, which seemed to add a bit of vitality to this old house that had been silent for many years.

Today's clan meeting was held in the Pei family's ancestral hall. When they arrived, the place was already full of people, including Aunt An, who also had an imperial decree, and the siblings Pei Zitian and Pei Zixing. The leader was naturally General Pei, who was still the same person, but looked a little tired. Madam Pei looked at the four people in the family coldly and snorted with disdain. Pei Zitian felt a little embarrassed, but Pei Zixing looked like a half-dead person, but he was still holding on, with his head held high, as if he was afraid of being looked down upon.

"coming?"

"Ah."

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's make things clear today."

As soon as Marshal Pei opened his mouth, the other elders in the clan felt strange. Why would they hold a clan meeting out of the blue? So everyone was waiting for Marshal Pei to speak. As a result, they saw him take out the seal of the head of the family and then speak solemnly.

"The Pei family is fortunate to have been able to preserve its power in the past few hundred years of ups and downs. My father joined the army and guarded Hanzhou, which established the Pei family's position in Dasui. It was passed down to me. I have worked diligently and without fear for so many years. Although I don't have the achievements of my father, I have led the Pei family steadily for decades. I believe that the uncles in the family are also aware of this."

The old men nodded one after another, saying that Marshal Pei was a generous man.

Apart from the military power which they would not allow others to interfere with, they would help in other areas whenever possible. Over the years, whether it was repairing ancestral tombs or building ancestral halls and temples, they had put in a lot of effort, and the younger generations in the clan were also generous.

Whether they were pursuing a career in politics or doing business, all of them were protected by Marshal Pei, which led to the thriving Pei family.

"Now, I am old and unable to do many things. Fortunately, God has blessed my Pei family and gave birth to Zi Su. He has become famous at a young age and is superior to me in both achievements and abilities. Now I voluntarily hand over the family head's seal to my wife and his wife for safekeeping. When he returns triumphantly in the future, everything will go smoothly. I have invited all the elders here today to witness this event."

After saying that, he took out the family head's seal, and the elders in the clan all looked confused.

Anyone who hears such words suddenly would be surprised. Marshal Pei is not seriously ill and has not been in any major disaster, so why would he say this?
Aunt An understood it in her heart, and Pei Zitian understood it in his heart too.

Only Pei Zixing, when she heard this, became like a fighting cock. Before anyone else could speak, she spoke in a rage.

"Father, you are the backbone of this family. Are you being threatened by someone? That's why you are like this?"

When she heard the word threat, Mrs. Pei smiled.

She laughed at herself for having fought for half her life, only to find out in the end that the other party was a joke and she also ruined her reputation. It was really degrading for the head of the family, Xin Yin, to be involved with such stupidity!

Then he glanced at Marshal Pei with his sharp eyes, and the sarcasm was evident in his words.

This time, let alone Marshal Pei, even Aunt An was so heartbroken about her daughter that she was speechless. They did this just for her health, but not only did she not appreciate it, she also spoke recklessly in such an occasion. She was simply stupid and unaware.

"Ah Xing, shut up!"

It was a rare occasion that Aunt An was willing to speak, but when Pei Zixing heard it, he looked at her with a sneer on his face and then spoke harshly to her.

"This is the family temple. Logically, my aunt is not allowed to come here. Why are you telling me to shut up? After all, I am my father's daughter. Is it your turn to say this?"

Such a bad attitude made Aunt An very embarrassed.
