The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

What happened next was exactly as Pei Yanxu had expected, because there was not much direct evidence, and in the end Zheng Xiaoyun had no connection with the Japanese bandits, so for a while there was really nothing they could do about Zheng Xiaoyun.

Xia Mianwan went to Yang's Mansion to pick up Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er only after these things were done.

When Xia Mianwan arrived at the Yang residence, Mrs. Yang warmly invited Xia Mianwan to sit down, with a happy look on her face.

Xia Mianwan was surprised and asked, "Sister Yang, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?"

Madam Yang took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Guess who came here just now?"

Xia Mianwan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

"It's Madam Pei." Madam Yang said with a smile on her face.

Xia Mianwan's hand holding the tea bowl trembled slightly, and he took a sip as if nothing had happened and asked, "Oh? Then why is Sister Yang so happy?"

Madam Yang saw Xia Mianwan pretending to be so, but she didn't expose her. "Mianwan, tell me what's in your heart. Do you really not have Lord Pei in your heart?"

Xia Mianwan thought about it carefully. She had thought about this question yesterday. Although she had some special feelings for Pei Yanxu in her heart, it was not a love between a man and a woman.

"Sister Yang, what will you do if I say no?" Xia Mianwan sighed.

Madam Yang was startled when she heard this, and looked at Xia Mianwan carefully. Seeing that Xia Mianwan did not seem to be lying, she lost her joy and said with a gloomy face: "I thought you and Lord Pei had experienced such a big thing together, and you had him in your heart. Madam Pei came just now and asked me a lot about you. She was very satisfied. I thought..."

Xia Mianwan lowered her eyes and said, "It is true that I have experienced life and death, and I have a special feeling for Lord Pei, but it is too early to talk about love between men and women. It's just..."

"But what?" Mrs. Yang asked anxiously.

She was really worried about Xia Mianwan. Although Xia Mianwan often said that she didn't plan to marry again, in this world, with Xia Mianwan's ability, she really didn't need to marry again. But now there was Zheng Xiaoyun in the middle, which was a fact that could not be changed in any way. Zheng Xiaoyun was so cruel that he wanted to kill Xia Mianwan in the chaos, so Xia Mianwan's safety could no longer be guaranteed.

A man like Pei Yanxu, apart from other things, has excellent character. What's more rare is that he is so young and already in a high position, but he is not arrogant or impatient, respects women, and is responsible to the people. If you miss such a man, it would be... Such a pity!

Putting aside other conditions, if Xia Mianwan could marry Pei Yanxu, she would become the mistress of the Pei family. Even if Zheng Xiaoyun turned the world upside down, he would not dare to assassinate the mistress of the Pei family!

Therefore, Madam Yang was also anxious, especially when she saw Madam Pei's attitude, she became even more anxious.

Mrs. Pei is truly a rare good mother-in-law and a truly open-minded person.

"But I didn't expect that this mad dog Zheng Xiaoyun would push me so hard. Although I have no intention of getting married, I don't reject it, and I don't hate Pei Yanxu." Xia Mianwan expressed her thoughts without any hesitation. Living alone has its own advantages, and living with two people has its own advantages. Maybe she can't wait any longer now.

Maybe Xia Mianwan can return Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er to Zheng Xiaoyun, but considering the condition of Zhuang Sasa and Zheng Xiaoyun...it's hard to say what will happen to Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er.

I have raised it for so many years, how could I not have feelings for it?

And as things have developed step by step to the present, Xia Mianwan has discovered that her presence can stimulate Zheng Xiaoyun and Zhuang Sasa. Men like Zheng Xiaoyun have bad habits that most men in the world have. When there is a problem, he only thinks it is the fault of the people around him, and he will only reflect on why he is not more ruthless to solve the problem of the people around him, but never thinks whether there is a problem with his own decisions, choices, and personality.

When Mrs. Yang saw that Xia Mianwan had this idea, she was a little happy for a moment and secretly thought about bringing them together.

……

The sun slowly rose higher. Xia Mianwan went to Xia's Winery and gave everyone rewards. He also promoted several women who had made contributions to foremen and asked them to learn skills with Xiuxiu.

After all the busy work, the moon quietly climbed up into the night sky.

Xia Mianwan leaned against the door of the winery, looking up at the moon, with some sadness slowly spreading in her heart. She had never thought about her family like this since she started traveling through the book.

Why was she so unlucky to get in?

Before she could think about it, she saw a carriage coming towards her not far away. Xia Mianwan looked from afar and it actually looked like the Pei Mansion's carriage. She was staring at the carriage in a daze when it arrived in front of her.

The coachman drove the carriage to a stop, and Pei Yanxu opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Xia Mianwan stared at Pei Yanxu blankly, not understanding why he came over.

"Lord Pei, is there anything you need that brings you here at this time?" Xia Mianwan stood up straight and asked slowly.

Pei Yanxu intuitively felt that Xia Mianwan was not in a good mood at the moment, so he just stepped forward and said, "It's too dangerous for you to go out alone now. I'm worried, so I'm here to take you back."

Xia Mianwan raised her eyebrows and looked into Pei Yanxu's eyes, her eyes slightly curved, "Master Pei, are you worried about me?"

Pei Yanxu nodded without any hesitation, "Mianwan, I know you don't have any romantic feelings for me, and I don't want love between men and women. I will provide you with a guarantee, and you will clear the obstacles for me, and we will become very good...partners. I don't know if you are willing to give me this opportunity, I know no one is more suitable than you."

Xia Mianwan didn't say anything, her thoughts seemed to be floating in outer space, "What if I want to have a romantic relationship in the future?"

Pei Yanxu was slightly stunned, "Before the greater good, there is still small love."

Xia Mianwan burst out laughing at this time, "Master Pei, you really can't help being amused."

Pei Yanxu was not embarrassed and just smiled faintly.

Xia Mianwan sighed and said, "Master Pei, marrying me might be a bit of a disadvantage, do you really not mind?"

Pei Yanxu assured earnestly: "I just want to protect your safety. I know the mountains and seas hidden in your heart. I am willing to protect your feelings and lend you a helping hand. I am also full of ambitions in my heart. I just hope that you can be my mistress and leave the rest to me. If you still have concerns, we can just be nominal husband and wife."

"We can be husband and wife in name only?" Xia Mianwan asked softly.

Pei Yanxu smiled and said, "I will never go against your wishes on these matters, okay? I, Pei Yanxu, have never been a villain who takes advantage of others. I always keep my word!"

Xia Mianwan stretched out his hand, and just like before, "High five as an oath!"

"High-five!"
