The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

In a blink of an eye, almost two months had passed. The dance rehearsals for the dance hall and the big play using the new script after the drama troupe moved in were all completed. They were just waiting for the opening in half a month.

Madam Qin and Qin Qinqing were also preparing to leave for Yanzhou. When leaving, both Madam Pei and the two girls and one younger brother of the Pei family felt a little sad.

Yes, after all, Qin Qinqing has also lived in the Pei family for a long time.

When it was time to board the ship, Aunt Qin gave Xia Mianwan a set of clothes she had made herself. "Mianwan, I still want to thank you. I'll remember your kindness and I'll definitely repay you when I have the chance."

Xia Mianwan smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Aunt, finally everything is settled, have a safe journey."

Aunt Qin nodded, and took Madam Pei's hand again and said, "Sister, I really have to leave this time. Please don't blame me for my ignorance in the past. After losing my husband, my temper has become much worse. I'm sorry."

Mrs. Pei felt that she had become accustomed to separations, but she did not expect that when it really came to this moment, she would feel a little sad. Fortunately, she was no longer the mistress of the Pei family, so she did not need to be so reserved, and her tears flowed out all of a sudden.

"Wu...sister, you are A-Qing's mother, but you are also my biological sister who grew up with me. If you are wronged outside, you must tell me. I will not forgive them!"

Madam Qin held back her tears and nodded desperately, "Sister, you have to take care of yourself."

"Yes!" Mrs. Pei nodded.

After sending you thousands of miles away, we must eventually say goodbye. With a slight sadness, Mrs. Qin took Qin Qinqing, the usual wedding attendants, and a boatload of dowry to Yanzhou.

Xia Mianwan tilted her head slightly and found that Madam Pei was a little sad, so she hugged Madam Pei and said, "Mother, whether it is my cousin or my aunt, they are all going to live a better life. Let's look forward."

"Mianwan, I'm just a little sad. Yan Xu hasn't come back yet. I feel empty inside. I don't know when we can see each other again." Mrs. Pei said while wiping her tears.

Xia Mianwan smiled slightly, "Mother, you still have two younger sisters, and an uncle. In the future, the Pei family will surely be full of grandparents and grandchildren!"

Mrs. Pei thought about it and finally felt better.

The Pei family watched Madam Qin's ship leave and prepared to return home, but they ran into the Zheng family instead.

Mrs. Zheng and her group came to pick up Zheng Xiaoqi and his wife.

When they met, it was like a flash of lightning. After Mrs. Zheng and Zhuang Sasa saw Xia Mianwan, they stood straight with their heads held high.

However, when Madam Zheng saw Chen'er and Yu'er, her eyes were immediately fixed on the two children.

Seeing this, Zheng Lingwan and the third lady hurriedly supported Madam Zheng, who called out, "My brother Chen and sister Yu."

Xia Mianwan glanced at Mrs. Zheng coldly and planned to avoid her from the side.

Unexpectedly, Madam Zheng walked over quickly and wanted to pull Chen'er and Yu'er, but fortunately Ruzhu was quick and stopped them.

Rumeng pulled Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er back a few steps and hid behind Madam Pei.

This completely irritated Madam Zheng, and she threw herself at Xia Mianwan, "You black-hearted woman, you prevented my grandchildren from returning home."

Xia Mianwan was knocked back several steps. She had originally thought of letting it go for the sake of the children being present today, but now it was no longer possible.

Xia Mianwan was about to speak, but Madam Pei angrily scolded, "Madam Zheng, is this the rule of your general's mansion? Mianwan is the mistress of my Pei family, a second-rank lady, how can she tolerate you being like this?"

Madam Zheng sneered and said, "We are all ladies of high rank, so who is afraid of whom?"

Madam Pei understood, "No wonder General Zheng was so unbridled in Yanzhou. It turns out he took after his mother."

Xia Mianwan didn't expect that when Madam Pei took up her post, she was so imposing and powerful, and secretly gave Madam Pei a thumbs up.

Mrs. Zheng certainly didn't know what Zheng Xiaoyun had done in Yanzhou, but Zhuang Sasa and Zheng Lingwan knew it, and their faces changed color at the same time.

"Mother, let's go home and talk about it if we have anything to say." Zhuang Sasa advised.

Madam Zheng refused to comply, "Zhuang, please don't stop me from seeing my grandchildren!"

Zhuang Sasa didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so ignorant. She was so angry that she couldn't say a word.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Zheng Xiaoqi and his wife had already got off the boat. Seeing a group of people gathered at the dock and making a lot of noise, they walked over.

When they saw that it was Xia Mianwan, Zheng Xiaoqi and his wife blurted out, "Sister-in-law!"

At this moment, Zhuang Sasa's expression became extremely ugly, and the whole scene went from noisy to quiet.

After seeing Zhuang Sasa, Zheng Xiaoqi and his wife realized that they had called the wrong person. They couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Mother, sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Zhuang Sasa felt very embarrassed and was not happy at all. She said stiffly, "I'll come with my mother to pick you up."

"Oh, then let's go back!" Zheng Xiaoqi felt that the current situation was not right, so he had to smooth things over with Zhu.

Although she was happy to see her son, Mrs. Zheng wanted to see her grandson and granddaughter more.

"Son, I'm glad you're back. That vicious woman Xia Mianwan doesn't let me see Chen'er and Yu'er. Please help me bring Chen'er and Yu'er back." Mrs. Zheng said loudly with her neck stiff.

Seeing that Zheng Xiaoqi was tall, Ruzhu pulled Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er back, fearing that they would come up and snatch him away.

Seeing Zheng Xiaoqi in a dilemma, Zhu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Madam Zheng, saying, "Mother-in-law, let's go back first. If other people see us, the whole city will be filled with rumors."

"Yes, yes!" Zheng Lingwan agreed.

Zhu was also trying to persuade her, but for some reason, Mrs. Zheng remained unmoved this time.

Zheng Xiaoqi gave Xia Mianwan an apologetic look, but Xia Mianwan's eyes gradually turned cold. Who are you calling a vicious woman? Xia Mianwan clenched her fists calmly.

At this time, Ruzhu's voice came over, "Master, Master, Master, don't go out."

Xia Mianwan looked towards Chen Ge'er. Chen Ge'er's face was stern and very serious, with a firm look in his eyes.

Chen Ge'er and Xia Mianwan looked at each other. Xia Mianwan seemed to know what Chen Ge'er was going to do, so he waved his hand to stop Ruzhu.

Madam Zheng was very happy to see Chen Ge'er coming out. She looked at Xia Mianwan proudly and said, "Look, he is a descendant of our Zheng family after all."

Xia Mianwan: "..."
