Chapter 25 Jiang Shiyuan agrees to marry her cousin (more)
Pei Zisu knew that his cousin Anian was extremely beautiful.

But every time he saw her, he always felt a different kind of joy. After returning from the princess's mansion yesterday, although he did not get a definite response, he was not rejected, which was good news for him.

Seeing her dressed like this today, although not formally, it was a good thing in Pei Zisu's eyes, so the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. Before he opened his mouth, he saw his aunt Pei quickly walked up to him, took Jiang Shiyuan and looked her up and down carefully, and said happily while looking.

"Ah Nian, have you changed your personality today? Normally, you are always unwilling to dress up brightly, but look at you today, you are like a fairy descending to earth."

Aunt Pei's words made Jiang Shiyuan's face flush immediately, and she replied a little shyly.

"It's not that exaggerated. Auntie is just bragging about herself."

"Haha, who let your family have such a pretty girl like you? It's also because you don't like to go out in front of people, otherwise those ladies would not know how to ask about you."

She spoke in a hurry, blurting out without thinking. Suddenly she saw her nephew, and remembered that he had proposed marriage in the flower hall the day before, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.

Seeing this, the cousin-in-law Xiang hurried over, just blocking Pei Zisu's line of sight. Then she pulled Jiang Shiyuan to help her mother-in-law out of the situation.

"Mother-in-law is happy. You are naturally beautiful. As your cousin's sister-in-law, I am also very moved. Everyone says to my niece, Aunt Xiao, if the baby in my belly is a girl and can be 70% to 80% as beautiful as Ah Nian, I, as a mother, will surely be very happy."

Her words immediately drew everyone's attention to herself. Jiang Shiyuan was surprised, and then seeing that her aunt Pei next to her also looked like she had gotten what she wanted, she immediately spoke happily.

"Is my cousin pregnant?"

"After you went to the princess's mansion yesterday, I felt unwell, so I asked a doctor to see me. He said it's been almost three months."

"I was just wondering, your cousin and his wife are also confused. The first three months are the time when you need to be most careful, but they, as parents, knew nothing about it. Now that the child is almost grown, they find out. When I heard the news yesterday, I wanted to beat your cousin up!"

Now that her daughter-in-law is so precious, Pei can't bear to say anything to her, so naturally she can only vent her anger on her son.

Jiang Shiyuan could even imagine the scene where his aunt jumped up and down and scolded his eldest cousin, while his eldest cousin remained calm. It must be very interesting, so he glanced at his cousin's wife Xiang in a teasing manner and then said.

"Aunt, please give your eldest cousin some face. After all, he is a father. If your nephews and nieces are born in the future and hear that you have such a bad temper, be careful that they will not be close to you."

"They dare?!"

My aunt has a straightforward personality and loves to joke. She wasn't annoyed by what Jiang Shiyuan said, but she looked at her with some worry in her eyes, as if she remembered something.

Jiang Shiyuan was smart and naturally understood what his aunt meant.

She was enlightened by Liu Hua's words yesterday, so she came to give an answer today. She looked up at Pei Zisu and saw that his eyes were still as determined and persistent. The last bit of uncertainty in Jiang Shiyuan's heart also dissipated.

Now that my cousin's wife is pregnant, everyone in Marquis Wenyuan's mansion is filled with joy.

This is just the beginning. There are also my second cousin, third cousin and fourth cousin to come. After they all get married, the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion will be bustling more than once.

Thinking that her grandmother would not be lonely and that she had great-grandchildren to take care of, Jiang Shiyuan felt relieved. She took her aunt and cousin's hand and went to her grandmother, Old Lady Wang, and then bowed obediently. Seeing her like this, Old Lady Wang knew that her granddaughter must have something to say, so she asked someone to help her up and asked, "What's wrong? What happened in the princess's mansion yesterday?"

"My granddaughter drank too much and was sent back drunk from the princess's mansion, which worried my grandmother. I came here today to apologize and to take this opportunity to tell everyone that I accept Cousin Pei's proposal and I am willing to marry Cousin Pei."

The people in Wenyuan Marquis' Mansion had seen some situations before, but this had only been two or three days. They were first frightened by Pei Zisu's bold proposal of marriage, and now they were even more shocked by Jiang Shiyuan's answer.

She was clearly saying she didn't want to get married just two days ago.

How come after going to the princess's mansion and sleeping all day long, his personality seemed to have changed, and even his style of speaking and doing things became so bold.

While the people in Wenyuan Marquis' Mansion were still in shock, Pei Zisu was the first to recover from his astonishment, and immediately walked to Jiang Shiyuan's side. The two looked at each other, and it was obvious that he had not expected that his cousin, who looked so delicate and adorable on weekdays, would be so straightforward in accepting the marriage proposal. In addition to being surprised, he naturally stepped forward to express his stance.

So he bowed deeply to Old Madam Wang, and then spoke respectfully and sincerely.

"Please rest assured, old lady. Since Zi Su has said this, the things you are worried about will not happen. I wanted to wait until all these are dealt with before continuing to ask for marriage, but I didn't expect Anian to agree so readily. Since she believes in me, I will not let her down. Today, I swear to everyone in the Wang family that if I let Anian down in the future, I will let the Southern Army trample my corpse into mud! I will never be reincarnated!"

The way he swore the oath was so serious that it seemed as if he was issuing a military order.

Military families like theirs actually believe in gods and Buddhas more than any civil officials. When Pei heard this, she felt very distressed, but she had finally seen her niece and nephew take a step forward, so she naturally could not interfere at this time.

Instead, Old Madam Wang frowned and gave a cold rebuke.

"Nonsense! How can you swear such a poisonous oath casually? Pah, pah, pah, and touch the wood again!"

"Zi Su will not take the oath, so even if he is more cruel, I am not afraid."

The determination in his eyes was even greater than that in Jiang Shiyuan's. Old Madam Wang looked around at the two children in front of her. They just stood there. She had only seen them a few times before, but for some reason they were so well matched!

The phrases of a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, all seemed redundant at this moment. In the past few days, she had been thinking about how to reject the marriage for her granddaughter without offending the Pei family, but now it has turned out to be this situation.

She smiled and sighed, then took her granddaughter's hand and said with a look of "blame".

"A son grows up and is no longer under the control of his mother. At the beginning, your grandmother watched your mother marry far away in Xuzhou, and now it's your turn to marry in Hanzhou. You all want to stay away from me, an old woman! I can see it, but do you think I'm noisy? Do you have to stay away from me?"

She pretended to be angry when she said this, but everyone present could hear that Old Madam Wang was reluctant to part with her granddaughter. Jiang Shiyuan understood that, so he walked up to her, took her hand, and spoke in his usual coquettish manner.

"That's not true. It's a blessing for my granddaughter to have a grandmother like you. If it weren't for the careful care of you, my aunt, and the people in Wenyuan Marquis's mansion, I wouldn't be able to live the carefree life I am today."

Old Lady Wang touched Jiang Shiyuan's forehead with tears in her eyes. Even though she was reluctant to let her go, she was happy that she could find the path she firmly wanted to take.

Hahaha, Anian is also a straight-forward player, isn't it surprising?
