When they got on the carriage, Pei Jingshu couldn't wait to ask Xie Zhichan, "Ayuan, what happened to Miaomiao?"

Xie Zhichan said: "Don't worry, big sister, Miaomiao just took a pill that can hold her breath for a short time. It won't cause any harm to Miaomiao. I will give her the antidote and she will wake up soon."

After saying that, he took out the antidote from his sleeve pocket and fed it to Zheng Miao.

A moment after the carriage drove away from the gate of Zheng Mansion, Zheng Miao woke up coughing.

When she first opened her eyes, she was still a little confused, but when she saw her mother was beside her, her heart calmed down again, and she threw herself into her mother's arms and cried, "Mom."

Pei Jingshu hugged Zheng Miao, touched her head, and said to her: "Miao Miao, from now on you will live with your mother."

Zheng Miao nodded sensibly: "As long as I'm with my mother, Miao Miao is fine with anything. I know that my mother is not happy in the Zheng family, and I am not happy either. But after leaving the Zheng family, Miao Miao can feel that my mother is happy. When my mother is happy, Miao Miao is happy too."

Pei Jingshu's broken heart was instantly healed by her daughter.

After listening to Zheng Miao's words, Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi were also moved by her thoughtfulness and consideration.

Pei Yi touched Zheng Miao's head and said, "Miao Miao not only has a mother, you also have an uncle, an aunt, an auntie, and a grandfather. Once you leave the Zheng Mansion, you will be a girl from the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Even if your mother and father are divorced, as long as you learn your skills well and can stand on your own in the future, no one will dare to look down on you."

Zheng Miao nodded solemnly and said to Pei Yi: "Uncle, Miao Miao understands. Miao Miao will learn medical skills from aunt in the future and be as capable as aunt."

Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi saw that Zheng Miao had recovered her spirits. The little girl was smart and clever, and she knew how to find role models, so they all laughed happily.

The group returned to Yangzhou chatting and laughing.

Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi had just gotten off the car at the entrance of the post station, and Pei Jingshu also got off.

When Liu Yousi came out to meet someone, he saw a familiar beautiful woman getting off the carriage. He was stunned and asked Pei Yi in a low voice, "Didn't you go to Jingzhou to see your elder sister? Why did you bring back a beautiful lady?"

Then the beautiful woman took a cute little girl down from the carriage and continued to ask Pei Yi, "Who is this little girl? She looks quite like you."

She seemed to realize something in an instant, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this your illegitimate daughter? Isn't the Crown Prince's Consort angry?"

Pei Yi looked at Liu Yousi with a strange look in his eyes: "You really didn't recognize him? I remember when you came to play in Prince Yan's Mansion when you were little, your favorite thing was to complain to my eldest sister, 'Eldest sister, Pei Yi bullied me——'"

As she spoke, she imitated Liu Yousi's tone when he was a child, which made Pei Jingshu laugh. She smiled at Liu Yousi and said, "Long time no see. Aji has grown up so much."

Liu Yousi looked at Pei Jingshu a few more times, and was stunned for a moment, with a blank expression: "Are you really my elder sister? Didn't Pei Yi go to Jingzhou to see you? Why did you come back with him?"

At this point, Pei Yi thought of the unpleasant experience of the Zheng family, and said to Liu Yousi: "This is a long story, I will tell you in detail later."

Liu Yousi knew that there must be some reason, but it was not convenient to reveal it to him, so he stopped asking.

Hua Manxi was in charge of arranging the post-disaster reconstruction of Jiangnan. Pei Yi's main task was to escort money and food. After completing his task, he returned to Kyoto with Xie Zhichan, Pei Jingshu and Zheng Miao.

After returning to Prince Yan's Mansion, although Pei Yuan hadn't seen his daughter for several years, he was delighted to see his daughter and granddaughter.

But when he heard Pei Yi say that Pei Jingshu and Zheng Yan had divorced, he frowned and blamed Pei Jingshu, saying, "If he bullied you, you could have written a letter back to the capital and asked your father to go to Jingzhou to make the decision for you. Why did you divorce so impulsively? You and Brother Yi are too self-willed."

Lin rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, if there is a divorced girl in the family, it will be difficult for other unmarried girls to find a good husband."

Pei Jingshu thought about her marriage, which was introduced by Lin. She couldn't help but think that Lin must have known that the Zheng family was a pit of fire, so she let her jump into it.

Then he said in a cold voice: "Speaking of this marriage, it was the princess who picked it. The princess is so opposed to my divorce, do you want me to continue to suffer in the Zheng Mansion? If the word gets out, people outside will suspect that the princess is mistreating her daughter. It would be better to let me divorce and support me to return to my parents' home. You can also say that you were blind and didn't keep a close eye on me. Telling it out will be better for the princess's reputation, isn't it?"

These few words inevitably made Pei Yuan think more, and he looked at Lin suspiciously.

Lin noticed Pei Yuan's eyes and shut her mouth awkwardly, not daring to say anything more.

Pei Jingyu also said: "Now that my second sister has been decided to be the Princess of Qin, it was also the imperial decree issued by the emperor himself, so this marriage will not be delayed. I am the only one in the family who has not yet arranged a marriage. In order to find a good marriage for myself, my eldest sister has to suffer in her husband's family. Jingyu can't bear it in her heart."

Pei Yi was somewhat dissatisfied with his father's attitude towards his eldest sister's divorce, and said with a stern face: "Father does not support my eldest sister's divorce. Does he want people outside to spread the rumor that our Yanwang Mansion is made of paper? Even the legitimate daughter can be treated like mud and be easily manipulated by her husband's family? In this case, even if the second and third sisters are promised a good in-law family, won't they end up like the eldest sister?"

After hearing what Pei Yi said, Pei Yuan also shut up.

Xie Zhichan knew that men in ancient times would inevitably favor boys over girls. The King of Yan was quite attentive to Pei Yi, personally teaching him when he was young and personally taking him to the battlefield when he grew up, which showed some true father-son affection. But he was obviously more casual with his daughter.

She felt sorry for Pei Jingshu, so she said, "Father, do you know what wrongs elder sister has suffered in the Zheng family? Zheng Yan favors his concubine over his wife, and a concubine has been calling herself 'Madam Zheng' when she is out. What's more hateful is that the concubine secretly gave elder sister a sterilizing drug, making it impossible for her to have children in this life. Madam Zheng even insulted elder sister as a hen that can't lay eggs."

Pei Yuan's face became uglier and uglier after hearing this. When he looked at Pei Jingshu again, he was somewhat moved and said, "Father doesn't know that you have suffered so much. Why don't you write a letter back to tell Father?"

Pei Jingshu was unwilling to dwell on the past any longer. She had understood since childhood that the love her father could give to his daughter was limited, and this paternal love could not support her life.

She only said, "Those are things of the past. Now that I'm divorced, I have nothing to do with the Zheng family anymore. From now on, we can go our separate ways. There is only one thing I hope my father can agree to."

Pei Yuan nodded and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Pei Jingshu said: "I actually brought Miaomiao back. From now on, Miaomiao will be the daughter of Prince Yan's Mansion. I hope to change Miaomiao's surname to Pei and let her be included in the Pei family's genealogy."

When Lin was about to refuse, Pei Yuan nodded and said to Pei Jingshu, "It's up to you."

Lin could only clutch her handkerchief in frustration, as she had to prepare yet another dowry!
