Chapter 270 The two sisters-in-law talk about the happy ending
The tenth day of the seventh month, the eve of the Ghost Festival.
The Marquis's wife finally found an excuse to visit Ning'an Garden. Jiang Shiyuan received her personally, and one could see that her face lacked the cheerfulness of the past, and was filled with sadness and guilt. She knew why her aunt came today.
"Aunt, don't be too sad. This fate is over. Since my father-in-law and mother-in-law have divorced, they are two different people. I saw that you and mother-in-law had a good relationship in the past. It's okay for you to just be good friends in the future."
"It's easy for you to say that. My sister-in-law is not doing well right now. I don't have the face to talk to Sister Wu. God knows she will divorce my brother. I haven't been to Hanzhou many times in recent years, but I have heard a lot of stories about him and that little goblin. I thought Sister Wu would be tolerant, but I didn't expect that she would cause such a mess at this time. I really don't know who to side with for a while."
After saying this, the Marquis's wife sighed in embarrassment.
Logically speaking, she should of course favor Wu, but no matter what, Marshal Pei loves her and is her brother, so no matter how foolish her brother is, the blood relationship cannot be severed, so she is so embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shiyuan remained calm and just told everything he had seen and heard in Hanzhou during these days.
"My aunt hasn't been back to Hanzhou for a long time, so you don't know a lot of things. You probably just heard about my father-in-law's favoritism towards Aunt An, but who doesn't have some troubles in a big family? So even if you know, you can only make a few words and can't do anything practical."
The Marquis's wife looked ashamed, and that was what she meant.
"But for my mother-in-law and my husband and his two siblings, it was the disappointment and hatred that accumulated day and night, so it only erupted now. There is something you may not know. Pei Zixing, who was reported by Aunt An, has been seriously ill for many days, and my father-in-law heard that there is a witch doctor in Xijing City who can cure him, so he has stayed here anonymously for half a year. Have you ever thought about what kind of crisis the Pei family will face if my father-in-law is caught and his identity is exposed to everyone? And although you are a daughter of the Pei family who has been married for many years, if you are really involved, do you think you can escape?"
When she heard this, Mrs. Hou was completely speechless. She looked at Jiang Shiyuan in shock, then grabbed her hand and asked nervously.
"Did you lie to me? My brother has been in Xijing City for more than half a year, but I, his own sister, have not received any news. Oh my God, is he crazy? For that woman, he actually let the Pei family take such risks? Crazy! My brother must be really crazy!"
The Marquis's wife's shock was not acted. After all, in her opinion, although her brother owed his sister-in-law many things in private, he had never done anything wrong in terms of justice.
So over the years, she often secretly apologized to her sister-in-law on behalf of her brother. However, she never expected that her brother had gone so crazy. Her heart was completely chilled, and she couldn't help crying as she thought about it.
"My parents passed away early, and my brother and I grew up with each other's support. I was familiar with Aunt An. If nothing had happened to her family, she and my brother would have been a perfect match. But God wants to play tricks on us, and what can we do? I advised my brother to send Aunt An away, but he was so concerned about this and that, and finally took her in. Fortunately, Sister Wu has a good temper and took the face of the Wu and Pei families into consideration, so she swallowed her anger. I didn't expect my brother to cause so much trouble. I am completely ashamed now, and I don't know how to meet Sister Wu. Here are some precious supplements for the body. Please give them to Sister Wu for me."
After saying that, he sighed again.
Madam Hou was feeling very uncomfortable in Ning'an Garden, so she paused for a moment and wanted to leave. However, before she could move, she heard a hearty laugh from outside. Madam Hou felt that the laugh was familiar and strange, but Jiang Shiyuan had already become accustomed to it. He glanced at Madam Hou and said softly.
"It's my mother-in-law."
Sister Wu?!
The Marquis's wife had not heard her laugh so heartily for many years. She suddenly remembered that when she had just married, she and her sister-in-law had secretly gone bird hunting together.
Therefore, although Wu was also from a prominent family, she was not a rigid person.
Over the years, she has become accustomed to her sister-in-law's cold and frosty appearance, and has forgotten that she was once a woman with a bright and smiling face.
Now that she has left the Pei family and her brother, has she found herself again?
When the two met, their eyes couldn't help but become red for a moment. The moment the tears fell, Wu also came over. When she looked at the Marquis's wife, she showed a relieved smile, then she walked up to her, took her hand and said.
"I'm so happy that you came to see me. You are you, and the people of the Pei family are the people of the Pei family. Although I have divorced your brother, you and I can still be good friends, right? If you still sincerely want me to be the same as before, just call me Sister Wu, how about it?"
Selfless generosity.
The Marquis' wife felt even more ashamed. She had witnessed her sister-in-law's plight with her own eyes, but for the sake of the Pei family and the stability of her brother's harem, she had advised her sister-in-law countless times to relax and take charge of the overall situation.
Now thinking about it, I was so selfish that I turned such a bright person into the cold and cruel person she used to be.
When she thought of this, she slapped herself hard twice, and then said with red eyes.
"A selfish person like me is not worthy of Sister Wu's sincerity. I knew how difficult your life was, but I always advised you to be patient. Now I realize how wrong I was! If you hadn't had the perseverance to struggle out of this circle, I'm afraid you wouldn't know what kind of miserable life you would have to live now. When I talk about this, I feel that I have committed a great sin."
"Look, your temper is still the same as before. This is a matter between me and your brother. How much does it have to do with you? Besides, I was willing to stay in the Pei family for the past twenty years. The children are still young, so of course I have to think about them. Otherwise, will I really watch the three brothers and sisters get nothing, divorce with me, and go back to be children who are not recognized by the clan? I'm not stupid! How can I let Aunt An and your brother take all the good things?"
When she heard the names of Aunt An and Marshal Pei, the Marquis's wife felt ashamed again. Then Mrs. Wu took her hand and said with a smile.
