Chapter 255: Seeing the family members crying and expressing their feelings
Compared to Pei Zitian's silence, Pei Ziyao and Pei Zimiao both held the bowls of water in front of them and then spoke.

"We are drinking water instead of wine. Thank you, second brother, for preparing the things for the army these days. Without your material support, we might not have been able to win this victory so smoothly. Over the years, there have been some things that went wrong between the two of us, and you should not be the one to vent your anger on. So please be magnanimous and don't hold it against us."

Pei Ziyao was extremely sincere when he said this. Pei Zitian was surprised and a little flustered, but he quickly picked up the bowl of water and continued speaking.

"What are you talking about, Ah Yao? This is what I should do. And you guys are fighting on the front lines. That's the real fight for your lives. I am nothing compared to you."

His modesty made Pei Ziyao sigh in his heart. Putting aside the old grudges, Pei Zitian was indeed right. Good bamboo shoots come out of bad bamboos, probably this is what it means.

Pei Zimiao didn't say much. Compared with his elder brother and elder sister, he couldn't say so many thoughtful words, so it was better not to speak.

Although this rare breakfast was a little awkward, after going out of this door, the relationship between the three people was much more harmonious than before.

After breakfast, Pei Ziyao and Pei Zimiao went to see Mrs. Pei, leaving the two of them alone. Although Pei Zitian didn't say anything, Pei Zisu could see that he had a lot of questions, so he spoke first.

"Ask, what do you want to know?"

Pei Zitian knew that his elder brother's thoughts were far more thoughtful than his, so he did not hide it and asked with some confusion in his eyes.

"Brother, are you not planning to come back?"

"Ah."

"Are you going to give up everything the Pei family has, including their military achievements?"

"Ah."

Pei Zisu's straightforward answer made him feel a little unsure of how to respond. These things that were fought over by the world had no use to him at all?
Thinking of this, Pei Zitian sighed and said.

"I don't know."

"This matter has nothing to do with whether you understand it or not, but whether I am willing to give it up. One person's honey may be another person's poison. Everyone has their own needs. There are still some things that you need to give Ah Yao and Ah Miao more advice on in Hanzhou in the future. Second brother, thank you for your help."

"It's not a problem. We are all family. As long as they ask, I will definitely help! But I didn't expect that my eldest brother would abandon me just when I was on the road to becoming a high-ranking official. It makes those of us who are still chasing fame and fortune seem a lot more worldly."

Hearing this, Pei Zisu smiled.

"Second brother, you are being modest. Given how much my father loves you, it wouldn't be difficult for you to make further progress. But you have been doing your duty for so many years. Is it because you are not capable enough? In the final analysis, it is because family affection is more important in your heart, so you don't want to add malice to those false reputations. I am the same."

It would be a lie for Pei Zitian to say he wasn't touched to receive recognition from his elder brother.

Over the years, he had thought that if he also scrambled to stand out, he might be able to show his face in front of the world, but how could he take all the good things in the world? Therefore, being able to protect the stability of his family was his greatest wish.

"Well, it doesn't mean we won't see each other anymore. If you have the chance, come to Xijing City and walk around. It will be helpful for your business decisions."

"I understand. Thank you for your advice, brother."

At this point, the two brothers didn't have much to say. Before leaving, Pei Zitian still spoke with embarrassment. "I'm sure my eldest brother knows about my father's affairs. I don't dare to ask for anything, but he is going there for Ah Xing's illness, so I hope you can understand his feelings. If you can help, please help me."

After saying this, he lowered his head in shame.

Pei Zisu understood his feelings, but he was a man of few words, so there was no need to hide it.

"We three brothers and sisters can be more lenient with you because you have never hurt us. But it's different for father, Aunt An, and Pei Zixing. No matter how many excuses you make, they can't explain the cruel things they did to us. So I can't agree to your request today. As the head of the Pei family, he can sacrifice the greater for the smaller. That's his own way of moving himself, but I won't cover for him. So no matter what the result is, he has to bear it. It has nothing to do with us."

After these words were spoken, Pei Zitian's heart was completely chilled.

He could vaguely feel that the family home was finally divided up cleanly, but it was also true that his father had hardly taken care of them over the years, and asking his eldest brother to help his father at this time was really asking too much.

I could only nod silently, hoping in my heart that my father would return safely.

As for my sister, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. They have done what they should and can do, and there is nothing else they can do.

On the second day of April, before the fireworks from lunch started to rise, two official ships sailed towards Xijing City. The people in Hanzhou City did not notice who boarded the ships. In the palace and the houses, everyone was doing what they were supposed to do. As for the brother and sister Pei Ziyao and Pei Zimiao, they returned to the Pei family military camp to deal with everything they had to deal with.

The boat passed without leaving a trace, and the sun was high in the sky.

As the ship gradually sailed away, Hanzhou City returned to its former tranquility.

After sailing for eight days, on the evening of the tenth day, the official ship arrived at the dock of Xijing City. Before the group got off the ship, they saw that the shore was already crowded with people.

Those who came today are the people that Jiang Shiyuan has been thinking about.

There is not only grandmother, father, brother, uncle, aunt, cousins ​​and their wives, and of course the lovely niece Youyi, as well as the engaged Miss Jiang San and Aunt Yang.

After not seeing these familiar faces for so many days, Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were already filled with tears.

As soon as he came down from the deck, he hurried to Old Madam Wang, knelt down and burst into tears.

"It's my fault that my granddaughter is so unfilial and took so long to come back to see my grandmother."

"Get up, get up, my dear child, what nonsense are you talking about! If I blame you, why would I wait here so long? Let me see if you feel better."

Although they never met, they kept exchanging letters.

Therefore, Old Lady Wang and others were all very clear about Jiang Shiyuan's physical condition, but they had not seen it with their own eyes, so of course they had to confirm it again.

After taking a closer look and seeing that the paleness between her brows had completely disappeared, Old Lady Wang pulled her into her arms and said with tears of joy.

"I have finally given an explanation to your mother. After all these years, I have finally made you better!"
