The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Xia Mianwan felt tired for quite some time. When he got up, he just felt weak all over.

"Young Madam, the three girls from the clan have arrived and are waiting in the front hall." Hongling said while combing Xia Mianwan's hair.

"So early... I'm so tired and want to be lazy..." Xia Mianwan dragged out the last syllable and acted coquettishly towards Hong Ling.

Hongling is the most outstanding maid in appearance among this group of maids. Not only is she good-looking, but she also has a good temperament. She likes to wear plain clothes, which makes her look very charming.

"Young Madam, there's nothing I can do. I'll comb your hair quickly. You can eat something before going to the front hall." Hongling quickened her movements, picked up the hairpin and hairpins and inserted them into her bun one by one, without forgetting to coax Xia Mianwan.

"Ah, being the Madam of Young Master Pei is a bit tiring, but it is also very interesting to be with beauties like you every day."

After Xia Mianwan had some breakfast, he took Rumeng and Ruzhu to the front hall.

As soon as Xia Mianwan sat down, three girls came up and kowtowed to her.

"You are all girls from the tribe, there is no need to be so polite."

The three girls are named Pei Ying, Pei Ling and Pei Xia. The eldest girl is wearing a red dress and looks very bright; the second girl is wearing a green dress and exudes the temperament of a classical beauty; the third girl is wearing a bright yellow dress and looks pretty and charming.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for saving us from danger." Pei Ying kowtowed deeply to Xia Mianwan again.

Xia Mianwan raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "It can't be said that I saved you, because you are girls from the Pei family, and mother-in-law attaches great importance to you, so she agreed."

Pei Ying's smile froze, and then she stopped talking.

"Have you visited your aunt?" Xia Mianwan asked.

"Yes, I have. My aunt also told us to get along well with my sister-in-law and listen to her in everything." Pei Ying said.

Xia Mianwan nodded slightly and looked at Rumeng. Rumeng understood and took out three purses and handed them to Pei Ying, Pei Ling and Pei Xia respectively.

"The purse contains a little gift from your sister-in-law. From now on, just treat Pei Mansion as your own home." Xia Mianwan said.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. The things you gave us must be the best." Pei Ying and her sisters thanked Xia Mianwan.

"As long as you like it."

Xia Mianwan thought that since they were going to stay at home for a long time, it would not do if the sisters did not know each other, so she asked the maid to call Pei Yanyue and Pei Yanqi over.

After the sisters had greeted each other, Xia Mianwan asked the maid to take the three sisters to Yimeyuan first.

"Sister-in-law, where is Sister Yu?" Pei Yanqi asked excitedly.

"Yu Jie'er is at her aunt Sang's place. The child went out again early in the morning." Ever since "Man Yue Lou" got on the right track, Yu Jie'er has been running to "Man Yue Lou" every day, saying that she wanted to learn from Madam Sang how to manage "Man Yue Lou".

"I just made some fresh food yesterday, but now Sister Yu is not having a good time!" Pei Yanqi loves to eat and can talk to Sister Yu very well.

"It's okay. The nanny I hired for you will be here in a few days. Then you can study with the nanny and see her every day." Xia Mianwan said with a smile.

Pei Yanqi was overwhelmed when she heard that Xia Mianwan had invited a nanny to teach her the rules and etiquette.

"Sister-in-law, I just want to marry an ordinary man in the future. Can I not learn the rules?" Pei Yanqi said with a frown.

Xia Mianwan tapped Pei Yanqi's forehead and said, "You... must learn the rules from me."

……

Yimei Courtyard.

When the three sisters Pei Ying, Pei Ling and Pei Xia arrived at Yimei Courtyard, they were unconsciously attracted by the beautiful scenery in the garden. It turns out that power is such an important thing.

When the Pei Ying sisters were in the clan, they had no maids to serve them, so Xia Mianwan ordered that each of the three young ladies be given two maids.

"Sister, this sister-in-law looks pretty good. She seems like a generous person." Pei Ling said.

Pei Ying frowned. "The clan sent the three of us sisters to the Pei family, which means that our marriages will be arranged by my sister-in-law. The family didn't leave us many things, so the dowry will have to be paid by the Pei family. There are some people in this world who will treat you politely as long as you don't harm their interests. But if you do, they will ignore you."

"What big sister means is... my sister-in-law is not as kind as she seems?" Pei Xia asked.

Pei Ying nodded, then took her two sisters' hands and said, "You must remember that we were taken into the Pei Mansion, and our grandfather was also kind to the Pei family, so no matter when or where, we must not belittle ourselves. These rare things and beautiful jewelry, as long as the girls of the Pei family have them in the future, we will definitely have them too. If not, we can fight for them. You just have to remember that only when your sister-in-law and aunt have a bad relationship, it will be easier for us to stand out."

Pei Ling and Pei Xia were no longer children, so they could understand what Pei Ying was saying. However, they both felt that something was wrong, but since the eldest sister had the final say in everything at home, they had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Today, we must establish our authority!" Pei Ying said firmly.

"Sister, don't do anything rash." Pei Ling advised.

Pei Ying said with some disdain: "Second sister, with your courage and temper, how can you be someone else's wife in the future? We are all going to marry into a wealthy family in the future. How can you survive with your brain?"

After Pei Ying said a few words to Pei Ling, he hung his head and dared not say anything else.

Pei Xia saw that her second sister was being scolded, so she had to help change the subject, "Big sister, how are you going to establish your authority?"

"Just wait and see!" Pei Ying said confidently.

Of course, all the words that Pei Ying and her sisters said in Yimeiyuan reached Xia Mianwan's ears without missing a word. Xia Mianwan shook her head and sighed, "This is a bit too stupid."

After all, Xia Mianwan is the mistress of the family. She can't just ignore the three girls sent by the clan. But that doesn't mean she will let them live in peacefully, provide them with food and drink, and then be responsible for the dowry. If they turn against her in the end, wouldn't that just make things difficult for herself?

Therefore, Xia Mianwan arranged a few people to guard Yimeyuan early in the morning to see what kind of character these girls have.

Xia Mianwan really didn't expect that Pei Ying would say such shameless words so openly in the courtyard she had arranged for her.

After being speechless for a while, Xia Mianwan had no choice but to say, "Just keep watching."

"Yes, young lady!"

Ruzhu couldn't stand hearing others say bad things about her young lady. Pei Ying speculated that not only did Xia Mianwan say it, but she also wanted to alienate the lady and the young lady in the future. How could Ruzhu tolerate this? So she stood beside Xia Mianwan with an angry face.

Xia Mianwan knew that Ruzhu was thinking about her, so she pulled Ruzhu over with a smile, "Okay, don't be angry. Why are you angry with a few insignificant girls?"

Ruzhu also felt sorry for Xia Mianwan, but she also knew that there was really nothing to be angry about. They were just three insignificant girls.
