The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

It turns out that the owner behind Yuehua Restaurant is the third master of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, and the so-called owner's wife is actually the third master's mistress.

This concubine was originally a dancer in Mingyue Tower. Later, she was favored by the third master and was kept outside.

This concubine was a powerful one. She felt that being a concubine had no security, but being a concubine had to obey the wife, so she persuaded the third master to pay for the opening of the Yuehua Restaurant.

The most feared thing in this world is a poor person suddenly becoming rich. Once he becomes rich, the concubine will lose her sense of propriety.

Xia Mianwan smiled faintly and said to the outer room: "I want to watch it, so why do you care so much?"

Although the shopkeeper didn't know Xia Mianwan, he knew from her demeanor that she was definitely not an ordinary lady, so he advised: "Madam, everyone who comes is a guest, let's not quarrel."

The concubine's wife was not grateful. She pushed the shopkeeper away and said, "You can't just look at someone like me, and you can't just look at the distinguished guest who will come later, so I advise you to apologize and leave quickly!"

Pei Yanqi was furious when she saw someone was so arrogant and wanted to bully her sister-in-law. She pointed at the concubine's wife and cursed, "How dare you yell in front of my sister-in-law?"

At this point, the concubine's wife was furious, "What are you talking about, little girl? Who is your sister-in-law? Let me tell you, the one who will be here soon is a real noble person, don't be scared when the time comes!"

"Who is so great? Just tell us about him and scare us." Yu Jie'er retorted with a smile.

At this time, the waiter's voice came in, "The distinguished guest has arrived!"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly said to his mistress, "Madam, the distinguished guest has arrived. Let's not delay any longer."

The concubine rolled her eyes and said to Xia Mianwan, "You saw it, the distinguished guest has arrived, get out of here!"

Pei Yanyue, Pei Yanqi and Yu Jie'er were all furious.

Xia Mianwan looked back. Isn’t that the Minister of Revenue, Lord Qiu?

"My master is from the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. You'd better leave quickly, otherwise I will call for someone to take action!" said the concubine's wife arrogantly.

Xia Mianwan glanced at Ruzhu and signaled Ruzhu to take action.

Ruzhu grabbed the concubine's arm. Ruzhu was very strong and the concubine could not help but scream.

The third master of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion heard the screams of his beloved woman and rushed in. Seeing the mistress, his face turned pale with pain and he shouted, "Stop, what are you doing! Do you think you can mess around with the property of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion?"

Ruzhu looked at Xia Mianwan, but Xia Mianwan did not signal Ruzhu to stop. If she didn't stop, it meant she had to continue, so Ruzhu used even more force.

The concubine's screams became louder.

The third master was so angry that his face turned red, "How dare you! What are you going to do?"

Xia Mianwan smiled and asked Ruzhu to stop, "Pingyang Marquis Mansion?"

"Of course, I am the third master of Pingyang Marquis' Mansion." When the third master saw Ruzhu released the people, he hurriedly supported his concubine.

"What a joke. The last time I met the third wife of Marquis Pingyang, she was probably in her early forties, but your lady is only in her early twenties... You are quite brave to pretend to be from Marquis Pingyang's Mansion!" Xia Mianwan said slowly.

"What do you mean by impersonation? Our master is from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion!" the concubine's wife shouted with her neck stiffened.

The third master of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion reacted at this time... This woman was not afraid of him...

The third master wanted to say more, but was stopped by Minister Qiu who came up at this time.

Minister Qiu was really speechless. He didn't understand why Duke Xu wanted him to win over the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. This third master was too stupid. If people like this were really tied together, it could lead to the destruction of their entire family.

After seeing the woman in front of him clearly, Minister Qiu's face turned even darker.

Isn’t this... the new lady of the Pei Mansion and the former young lady of the General’s Mansion?

"I wonder what happened?" asked Minister Qiu.

Xia Mianwan spoke first: "Minister Qiu, you came at the right time. I brought the girls from the mansion out for dinner, and unfortunately, I ran into someone pretending to be the third master and third lady of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion."

This time, Minister Qiu's face was no longer dark, but green.

Minister Qiu looked at Master Li San and expressed his question with his eyes: "What's going on?"

Master Li San was stunned and said with a stammer: "No...no."

Seeing this, Xia Mianwan pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Hey, Minister Qiu actually knows this liar?"

"It's all misunderstanding, all misunderstanding. I really am the third master of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion." Master Li San said stutteringly.

"Oh? You are the third master of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. Then who is this lady...?" Xia Mianwan pointed at the mistress of the third master Li.

Master Li San was sweating profusely and looked at Minister Qiu for help.

How could Minister Qiu not know what happened at this moment? He was really speechless. After thinking for a long time, Minister Qiu said, "Maybe Madam Pei made a mistake?"

Only then did Master Li San realize that the evil star was actually Master Pei’s wife.

Although Mr. Li San was born in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, he only held an idle official position. Now that he knew that the woman in front of him was actually the wife of Master Pei, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat...

The truth is, Madam Pei’s reputation in the capital is too loud.

This concubine naturally didn't know who Madam Pei was, and was still unhappy. But after all, she had been a dancer for several years, so she was not so ignorant. She just lowered her head and stood behind Master Li San.

Xia Mianwan didn't want to ride the donkey downhill, so he asked, "How could that be? The lady is still here?"

Seeing that Xia Mianwan didn't want to just leave, Master Li San's forehead was covered with sweat. "Mrs. Pei is joking. This is... this is..."

Minister Qiu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he said, "This must be the owner of this restaurant."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the boss, it's the boss." Master Li San said stutteringly.

Xia Mianwan sighed and said, "A concubine is a concubine. What about the boss? I really love the Third Madam. This concubine is so arrogant. She keeps talking about the wife of the boss. It means my husband is not here. Otherwise, I must talk to my husband. How can a minister with such a character share the worries of the emperor? My husband is working hard to suppress bandits at the front, but the Third Master Li is so good that he allows a concubine to treat me and show off to the Pei family... Tsk tsk, people's hearts are not as they used to be!"

How could people like Minister Qiu, who are usually useless, know that Madam Pei is so eloquent and venomous, even worse than Master Pei.

"Master Li San, this is where you are wrong..."

Master Li San was stunned by this, but he finally came to his senses and turned to his mistress, saying, "How dare you! Our Pingyang Marquis Mansion is not a place that someone like you can reach. Someone, get her out of here, so that she won't pretend to be from Pingyang Marquis Mansion again."

Immediately afterwards, several servants came up, grabbed the concubine and threw her out of the door.

Xia Mianwan secretly mocked Master Li San in his heart, but in the end he decided to quit while he was ahead. Without saying anything more, he bowed and left with the girls.
