The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Old Mrs. Zheng was silent for a long time. She was angry in her heart, but Xia Mianwan was right. It was indeed Xia Mianwan who did not let the Zheng family down. It was the Zheng family who let Xia Mianwan down.

For a moment, Old Lady Zheng was angry at Zheng Xiaoyun for being immoral; for another moment, Old Lady Zheng was angry at Xia Mianwan for being so shameless and tearing off the Zheng family's fig leaf. She had already backed down, but Xia Mianwan was still so aggressive.

"Mianwan... why do you have to do this? What good will it do for you to be an enemy of the Zheng family? What good will it do for Chen'er and Yu'er?" Old Mrs. Zheng's face was gloomy. Before coming to Yanzhou, although she had expected Xia Mianwan's attitude to be tough, she did not expect it to be so tough.

How can a common person have the confidence?

Could it be... that there are other cards?

Xia Mianwan shook her head and said, "It's not an enemy. As long as they don't cause trouble for me... it's not an enemy."

Old Mrs. Zheng looked at Xia Mianwan, trying to see something different in her eyes. Then Xia Mianwan always looked directly at Old Mrs. Zheng, never avoiding her.

Now, Mrs. Zheng really had a headache.

The situation with Zhuang Sasa and Zheng Xiaoyun is not easy to deal with.

At this time, a maid came to report that Zheng Xiaoyun and Zhuang came together to visit their grandmother.

Mrs. Zheng came to her senses and asked Haitang to tell Zheng Xiaoyun, "Just tell them I'm entertaining guests and come back later."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiaoyun and Zhuang came in before Haitang even left the door.

"Grandma." Zheng Xiaoyun and Zhuang bowed together to pay their respects to Old Madam Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng's tone was already filled with anger. "Don't you understand etiquette?"

Zhuang smiled shyly and said, "Grandma, my husband must come to visit."

What this means is that Zhuang Sasa tried to stop her, but failed, so she could only come together. Zhuang Sasa knew that Xia Mianwan was coming, and at this time, she didn't want Zheng Xiaoyun and Xia Mianwan to meet.

After all, she had never seen how they got along before, and she was not sure about Xia Mianwan's position in Zheng Xiaoyun's heart.

Can't take any chances!

Zheng Xiaoyun glanced at Xia Mianwan and his face became a little darker.

Xia Mianwan simply ignored him completely.

"Grandma, I heard that Madam Xia is here." Zheng Xiaoyun said briefly.

Old Madam Zheng sighed and looked at Xia Mianwan, "Good boy, I won't keep you here today. We'll meet again tomorrow."

After a glance, Haitang understood and quickly grabbed Xia Mianwan, wanting to send Xia Mianwan out.

Zheng Xiaoyun said at this time: "Madam Xia, why don't you have dinner before leaving."

Xia Mianwan looked at Zheng Xiaoyun with a half-smile, "It might be inconvenient with a man from outside. The old lady and I have finished reminiscing about the past, so I will leave now."

Zheng Xiaoyun tried to persuade him to stay, "What kind of outsider am I?"

Xia Mianwan was surprised at Zheng Xiaoyun's thick-skinnedness and looked at Zhuang Sasa. He didn't care about this?

Zhuang Sasa's face was not looking good either, and her temper was about to break down. "Why are you not considered an outsider? We should not delay Madam Xia."

"Why don't you bring Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er back to have dinner with the old lady?" Zheng Xiaoyun ignored Zhuang Sasa and still spoke to Xia Mianwan.

Now... even Old Mrs. Zheng's expression turned bad.

Zheng Xiaoyun was simply here to cause trouble for her.

"Xiaoyun, you and Sasa go back first." Old Mrs. Zheng said seriously.

Zheng Xiaoyun disagreed, "Grandma, I don't know why I have to go back. Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er are my biological children, why should I let others take them away? If Xia Mianwan marries again in the future, how will Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er cope with it?"

Xia Mianwan laughed out loud, "People say that shameless people are invincible, but I think that's an understatement."

Zheng Xiaoyun looked at Xia Mianwan angrily and scolded fiercely: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you know why Brother Chen and Sister Yu want to go back? Do you need me to take out the letter from that day and read it in front of everyone? I happen to have it with me." As Xia Mianwan said that, he took out a letter and held it in his hand.

Zheng Xiaoyun stared at Xia Mianwan closely, his eyes becoming even more ferocious. Ruzhu was completely frightened and pulled Xia Mianwan over and stopped her behind him, "What are you going to do?"

Zheng Xiaoyun's expression became increasingly gloomy.

At this time, Xia Mianwan took out another letter from his arms, and this letter had a yellow edge.

"Zheng Xiaoyun, do you really want to... kill me?" Xia Mianwan asked with a smile.

"Do you think it's very troublesome for me to live here, but since you don't know my trump card, you are afraid that killing me will cause more trouble?" Xia Mianwan continued to ask.

"Zheng Xiaoyun, you guessed right, you can't touch me. As long as something happens to me, Madam Sang will go to the emperor to file a complaint." Xia Mianwan pushed Ruzhu slightly, walked in front of Ruzhu, looked directly at Zheng Xiaoyun and said.

"What a joke! You can't just file a complaint against someone just because they want to! Just for a prostitute?" Zhuang Sasa sneered.

Xia Mianwan smiled and suddenly asked Zhuang Sasa, "Do you still remember Madam Sang?"

"What a joke! Of course I remember it. Didn't I tell you about that brothel girl?" Zhuang Sasa said with disdain.

Xia Mianwan smiled and said, "Indeed, it is normal for people like you to look down on Madam Sang, but Madam Sang is righteous and willing to sacrifice herself for the future of Yanzhou. His Majesty deeply admires her. He has issued an edict to reward her with a thousand taels of silver, and Madam Sang can ask the Empress for one thing within the scope."

"You... don't you know yet?"

Zheng Xiaoyun and Zhuang Sasa were both stunned when they heard this, and looked at Xia Mianwan in surprise and suspicion.

"There's nothing I can say about this kind of thing, but it's all thanks to Madam Zheng that I was able to meet Madam Sang." Xia Mianwan smiled and brought the letter closer, showing it to Madam Zheng.

When Mrs. Zheng saw the bright yellow color, she knew that Xia Mianwan was not lying. Of course, there was no need to lie.

Zheng Xiaoyun was silent for a long time. He thought of Pei Yanxu, then of Madam Sang mentioned by Xia Mianwan, then of his current situation, and of his father Zheng Tingyan.

"Brother Chen and Sister Yu don't have to come back..." Zheng Xiaoyun finally spoke.

Old Mrs. Zheng, Zheng Lingwan and Zhuang Sasa turned to look at Zheng Xiaoyun together. Xia Mianwan also raised her eyebrows and waited for Zheng Xiaoyun's conditions.

"But you can't marry again, otherwise Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er won't be able to get along with each other." Zheng Xiaoyun said.

Old Mrs. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her grandson was willing to let go. But she thought Xia Mianwan should agree if she didn't want to get married. At least it would be difficult for Xia Mianwan to remarry with two children. Everyone in a good family knew that Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er were from the Zheng family.

Who knew that Xia Mianwan would not let Zheng Xiaoyun get what he wanted.

"What a joke! I, Xia Mianwan, can get married if I want to, and not get married if I don't want to. Do you, Zheng Xiaoyun, need to come in front of me and tell me what to do? I can't get married again with two children. What? Are you dead? Am I a living widow? You make me the same as the Zheng family's mistress. How did you come up with such an outrageous request? Zheng Xiaoyun didn't divorce me, you married someone else, why didn't you care about how Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er were getting along?"
