The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Just as Xia Mianwan and Madam Sang were about to follow Manager Qian into the private room, a clear female voice was heard.

"Wait!"

Xia Mianwan and Sang Niangzi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a light green flowered shirt, staring at Xia Mianwan with eyes wide open.

Xia Mianwan didn't remember that he knew this girl, so the lunch box was not for him, and he turned around and left with Madam Sang.

Seeing Xia Mianwan was about to leave, the girl in green shirt shouted, "I told you to stop, can't you hear me?"

She was actually calling me? Xia Mianwan turned around and looked at the girl, "Are you calling me?"

"There's no one else here, so who else should I call if not you?" The girl in green shirt said in a very bad tone.

Xia Mianwan noticed that the man had a bad tone and guessed that it was probably a romantic debt caused by her husband who was not yet married.

Seeing that this little girl was not easy to mess with, Madam Sang stood in front of Xia Mianwan with some worry. Xia Mianwan smiled and pulled Madam Sang's sleeve. She said softly, "It's okay, Sister Sang."

Madam Sang did not step back, but tilted her head slightly and said, "Don't worry, Mian Wan, I will protect you."

Xia Mianwan was grateful for Madam Sang's kindness. A hint of warmth appeared in her eyes and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Thank you, Sister Sang."

"Why should we be polite to each other?"

The girl in green shirt saw the two of them talking back and forth, mumbling to each other but ignoring her, and she was a little annoyed, "Xia Mianwan, are you deaf?"

Xia Mianwan looked at the little girl from Green Mountain leisurely, smiled slightly, and said, "What are you barking about?" But he didn't make any sound, just made mouth shapes.

The woman in green naturally understood what was going on. She walked up to Xia Mianwan angrily and stretched out her hand to slap Xia Mianwan in the face.

Xia Mianwan had already made preparations, so naturally she would not let herself suffer any loss. As soon as the woman in green raised her hand, Xia Mianwan grabbed it with one hand, "She is young, but she has a bad temper!"

Xia Mianwan was very strong, and the woman in green shirt was so hurt by her grip that she asked, "Are you dead?"

As soon as the green-shirted woman finished speaking, the maids around her reacted and rushed over. Ruzhu was not a pushover. Seeing that they wanted to bully the few with their numbers, she stepped forward and pushed the two maids who rushed over to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Ruzhu shouted.

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Qian quickly stepped forward to apologize to the woman in green, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Miss Jiang, this is my guest, can you please not make things difficult for them for my sake?"

The woman in green scolded: "Who are you to beg for mercy from me?"

Huayuxuan is the property of Princess Qingjia's mansion, and Shopkeeper Qian is an old man in Princess Qingjia's mansion, so he is usually respected. Being scolded by a maid, Shopkeeper Qian's face turned black, and he said unhappily: "Even if I am no longer a thing, I am still a person in Princess Qingjia's mansion, representing the face of our princess's mansion. Miss Jiang should not be too presumptuous!"

After Shopkeeper Qian finished speaking, Miss Jiang's expression changed. "I...I didn't mean to do that. Didn't you see that my hand was grabbed by this bitch?"

"Who are you calling a shrew?" Xia Mianwan said as he put a little more strength into his hands.

Miss Jiang's face was wrinkled and her eyes were red. She had no choice but to say to Shopkeeper Qian: "Tell her to let me go!"

Shopkeeper Qian really didn't want to be the first to take the initiative, but there was nothing he could do. They were all doing business, and if a fuss was made, it would be the princess who would lose face, and he would be the one who would suffer the consequences.

When Shopkeeper Qian thought of this, he had no choice but to bow to Xia Mianwan and said, "It's all my fault. This is the eldest daughter of the Minister of War, Lord Jiang. I hope Madam will show some mercy."

Xia Mianwan shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Qian, even if she is the eldest daughter of someone's family, she can't be so rude. Since Miss Jiang has a bad upbringing and Madam Jiang didn't teach her well, then we can only let others teach her how to behave."

Miss Jiang was so angry that her eyes widened. "Xia Mianwan, are you crazy? Didn't you hear who I am? I am the eldest daughter of the Minister of War!"

"You, either shut up or apologize, choose one!" Xia Mianwan increased his strength.

Miss Jiang felt pain and wanted to curse again, but Xia Mianwan glared at her, and she became withdrawn and shut her mouth obediently.

Seeing that Xia Mianwan was not afraid of Miss Jiang at all, Shopkeeper Qian knew in his heart that Xia Mianwan's identity was not simple either, so he did not say anything more and had to step aside.

Seeing that Miss Jiang had calmed down, Xia Mianwan smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, please apologize."

Mrs. Jiang gave birth to three sons and only one daughter, Jiang Caiyue, and she usually doted on her. Jiang Caiyue had never suffered such humiliation since she was a child, and her eyes were red for a moment, "Let me go quickly, if you don't let me go, I'll let my father kill you!"

Xia Mianwan was really happy. "Since Miss Jiang knows my name, she must know that I will get married with Pei Yanxu. I am a second-rank lady, how can your father, the Minister of War, kill me whenever he wants? The whole world belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. Do you think your father condones your behavior? Do you still know that the capital is a place where the king's law is enforced?"

Although Xia Mianwan said this with a smile, there was no trace of smile in her eyes.

Jiang Caiyue was frightened by Xia Mianwan's gaze. Her face turned pale and blue. She could only stammer and apologize: "I'm... I'm sorry!"

Xia Mianwan let go only after hearing Jiang Caiyue's apology.

Jiang Caiyue was freed and quickly took several steps back.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you. Lord Pei is so miserable. How could he marry a divorced woman like you!" Jiang Caiyue said viciously.

Xia Mianwan didn't care. She sighed to Madam Sang with some regret, "Hey, Sister Sang, look at the world. There are young men who want to marry a divorced woman like me no matter what! Oh, and this is a marriage granted by the emperor! It seems that some people are not even as good as a divorced woman!"

"You!" Jiang Caiyue was furious.

"What about me?" Xia Mianwan asked with a smile.

"Don't think that Lord Pei really wants to marry you, it's just that the emperor's order is hard to disobey!" Jiang Caiyue rolled her eyes.

Xia Mianwan was amazed. "I haven't seen a woman like you for a long time. To put it nicely, you are self-righteous. To put it bluntly, you are as stupid as a pig. What status do you have? What qualifications do you have to talk to me about whether Lord Pei really wants to marry me? You have been yelling at me for a long time. Pei Yanxu is also my husband. If I get angry, I can go back and cry to Pei Yanxu, and Pei Yanxu will have to bother to comfort me. Who knows, one day he will come to your house to seek justice for me!"

Jiang Caiyue was so angry at Xia Mianwan's behavior that she fell backwards. "You haven't even gotten married yet, how dare you talk like that! Why would Lord Pei want to marry a woman like you!"

"It's a fact that Pei Yanxu wants to marry me, and it's also a fact that it has nothing to do with you. I want to talk about my future husband, so don't say anything. It's not other people's turn to point fingers. Besides, after I get married, Pei Yanxu will ask for a title for me. Miss Jiang, don't mention others in everything, just think about whether you are worthy of him."

Jiang Caiyue wanted to say something, but a woman in gorgeous clothes shouted at her, "Aren't you ashamed enough? Get out of here!"

Jiang Caiyue looked back and said with her head down: "Mother..."
