The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

The many ladies who were watching the scene couldn't help but gasp after hearing what the maid said.

Pei Yi glanced at Pei Jingshu, and said to Zheng Yan and Madam Zheng, "In this case, I dare not leave my sister and Miaomiao in your Zheng Mansion, a den of tigers and wolves. Zheng Yan, I want you to write a divorce letter now and declare that your Zheng Mansion does not want Miaomiao. Let my eldest sister take Miaomiao back to the Prince of Yan's Mansion."

Zheng Yan knew the significance of Pei Yi to Da Jin. Seeing that Pei Yi had fully recovered and the status of the Prince of Yan's Mansion was stable, it would definitely help his future career. However, at this moment, he said he did not want to divorce Pei Jingshu at all.

He said to Pei Yi, "I don't want to divorce." He pointed at Aunt Bao and said, "It was this vicious woman who harmed Madam, but I didn't instigate this. I can kick Aunt Bao out of the Zheng Mansion right now and register my eldest brother and second sister under Madam's name. Even if Madam can't have children, she is my only wife, Zheng Yan. I can promise that I will never take a concubine again in this life!"

Seeing that Pei Yi was completely indifferent to his words, he knelt down in front of Pei Jingshu and begged her, "Madam, please say something. I really didn't know that it was Aunt Bao who harmed you. I know I was wrong. I know you have been wronged over the years. I promise to treat you well in the future. A day of marriage is a hundred days of grace. Please don't divorce me. Even for Miaomiao, please forgive me."

Pei Jingshu just quietly looked at the man in front of her who was crying. She felt that she could hardly remember why she fell in love with this man in the past.

After the imperial examination was over that year, Lin came back and told her father about Zheng Yan, saying that Zheng Yan not only won the top three places in the imperial examination, but also had elegant literary talent and handsome appearance, and his family also had some property.

Gradually, the father was persuaded by Lin's sweet words.

Her stepmother's gossip has always been better than that of the matchmaker.

She also felt that it was impossible for Lin to be so kind as to really take the trouble to choose a good husband for her.

But she is almost past the age of marriage, and if she doesn't get married now, it will be difficult for her to find one again. Having an old girl in the family who can't get married, no matter how high the family status is, will inevitably arouse suspicion, and it will also affect the marriage of her younger brothers and sisters.

What's more, her mother has passed away, and the right to choose marriage has fallen into Lin's hands. Lin will not be able to pick a good husband for her. It is better for her to go and see for herself whether he is good or bad.

If her family background is not good, but she is a good person, it is her blessing.

She looked at the honest man's face in front of her with disgust again.

That year, when she looked into the living room through the screen, she was deceived by this honest appearance. She thought that honest people always have the advantages of being honest, but she didn't know that under the honest appearance there may be a cunning heart.

In the early days of his marriage, he had thought about living a good life with this person. Even if they could not be in love with each other, at least they could respect each other.

But who would have thought that this man's true nature would be revealed in the first year after he was transferred to Jingzhou. In the third month when Miaomiao was pregnant, he took Concubine Bao into the mansion.

That's why Aunt Bao gave birth to the eldest brother and second sister right after her.

After that, she never got pregnant again, so her mother-in-law started to treat her coldly.

All her tolerance in the Zheng Mansion over the years was only for Miaomiao, but she realized today that all her tolerance was a joke.

Poisonous scorpions will not restrain themselves because of your kindness. Instead, they will become more aggressive and commit more harm.

Now that Yi Ge'er is here today, she doesn't want to endure it any longer. It would be better for her to break up and live her own life from now on.

She looked at Zheng Yan coldly and said to him, "Give me the divorce letter and let me take Miaomiao away. I will not pursue the matter of Aunt Bao giving me the sterilizing drug and will let you, the Zheng family, live."

After hearing Pei Jingshu's resolute tone, Zheng Yan decided to divorce her no matter what.

He then said, "Madam, you can divorce, but you can't take Miaomiao with you. In any divorce, the children must stay in the husband's family. It doesn't make sense even if you report it to the emperor."

After hearing this, Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi both frowned.

What Zheng Yan said is correct.

If the Zheng family is determined not to let the eldest sister take Zheng Miao away, the matter will be reported to the emperor, and the emperor cannot go against the clan's etiquette.

Xie Zhichan called Zheng Miao over and said to her, "Miao Miao, if your mother wants to divorce, will you stay with dad or mom?"

Zheng Miao looked at her without hesitation and said, "Mom, I want to follow you! I don't want to follow dad! Dad is a bad guy and always bullies you."

Pei Jingshu was so moved after hearing this that tears welled up in her eyes, while Zheng Yan's face was filled with black lines, as he felt extremely ashamed to be spoken ill of by his own daughter.

All the ladies and young ladies around were moved by this. The eldest daughter of the Zheng family was such a well-behaved and sensible child that she made people feel pity for her.

Xie Zhichan asked Zheng Miao again: "If you want to leave with your mother, you need to sacrifice your life. Are you willing?"

Zheng Miao hesitated for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and nodded firmly: "I do."

Xie Zhichan reached into his sleeve pocket and took out a red pill. He handed it to Zheng Miao and said, "Miao Miao, take this pill and your wish will come true."

Zheng Miao took the medicine and swallowed it directly even though he didn't know what it was.

In just a moment, she fell to the ground, unconscious, with her eyes closed.

Pei Jingshu was startled and was about to go forward, but she heard Pei Yi's voice whispering in her ear: "Don't worry, sister. Just cooperate with the acting."

She pretended to be frightened and let Pei Yi support her.

Xie Zhichan said to Zheng Yan: "Now, there is a corpse lying in front of you. Are you sure you want to offend the Prince of Yan's Mansion for a corpse? You have received a transfer order and will return to Kyoto soon. But if you want to handle Miaomiao's funeral, you will have to delay your journey back to Beijing. The position in Kyoto does not wait for anyone, and there are many people who want it.

If you want to fight to the death, I heard that Lord Liu has no officials to impeach recently, so I might as well tell him about your affairs in Zheng Mansion. By then, I am afraid that you will lose your position in the capital, and even worse, it is hard to say whether you can keep this lucrative position in Jingzhou. "

Zheng Yan and Madam Zheng had not expected Zheng Miao to be so resolute. Madam Zheng immediately pointed at Xie Zhichan's nose and cursed: "It was you who fed poison to my elder sister! You murderer, I will go to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor!"

Xie Zhichan replied calmly, "It's true that I gave her the medicine, but she took it herself, and she was willing to sacrifice her own life in exchange for the opportunity to leave the Zheng Mansion with her mother. I think His Majesty is reasonable."

Pei Jingshu then went forward to check Zheng Miao's breath and found that he was indeed dead. She was worried and hugged Zheng Miao's "corpse" and cried to hide her worry.

Zheng Yan thought that since Zheng Miao was so determined and was already a corpse, he could no longer threaten Pei Jingshu. He felt that the situation was hopeless, so he gritted his teeth and called the servant behind him to get pen and ink.

After a while, the writing brush, ink, paper, inkstone and desk were brought over by the servants.

Zheng Yan immediately wrote a divorce letter, and at Pei Yi's reminder, he specified that Zheng Miao's body would be handed over to Pei Jingshu to take away.

After pressing his fingerprint, he handed the divorce papers to Pei Jingshu.

Pei Jingshu felt very excited when she held the divorce papers.

Although this is just a thin piece of paper, it represents the beginning of her new life.

Pei Yi held Zheng Miao's body with a gloomy face. Xie Zhichan supported Pei Jingshu, and they quickly left Zheng's house together.

If Pei Yi stayed in this place any longer, he would want to tear it down!
