The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Although Li Lucheng is a fool who can't concentrate on studying, he won't make mistakes when it comes to important matters such as who he can marry and who he can't marry, which will affect his future comfort.

After all, Li Lucheng is the princess's younger brother, and his abilities and family background are not too bad, so it is not too difficult for him to marry a girl from a good family.

But if he takes a dancer as his concubine first, then he can forget about marrying the daughter of a good family.

The daughter of a good family should also marry a family with a clean and upright family tradition.

Seeing that Li Lucheng, the idiot, had regained his mind, Li Yuwan said angrily, "You idiot, now you know how to be nice?"

Li Yucheng sat down nonchalantly, "Of course not. Marrying a wife is a big deal. My mother won't let me do whatever I want, and she won't let me marry a concubine first."

Li Yuwan rolled her eyes and cursed, "You are really stupid. You said you wanted to take a concubine, but it's just a title. Are you really going to take a concubine? It's just a title. After I get her back, I will ask her to bring some dancers out for us. Then you will throw her into the manor. Who will know that she is your concubine?"

"Princess, why do you have to compete with Madam Pei? I'm... really in a difficult situation." Li Lucheng said with a bitter face.

"If you don't have any other ability to get the person here, I will go and get him myself. If you don't cooperate with me, you will suffer the consequences. If you have any problems in the future, don't come to the Prince's Mansion to ask for help. Do you understand?"

Seeing that the Princess was angry, Li Lucheng lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.

Li Yuwan curled her lips slightly, her eyes cold.

……

Yu'er was not under complete surveillance. She was still able to move around in the courtyard, but she was watched by a rough old woman every day.

Although Yu'er couldn't go out, she could still learn about the situation in Manyue Tower through the casual conversations of a few rough old women and the maids who delivered meals.

Yu'er originally thought that Manyuelou would have to close for a while without her as its mainstay. However, who would have known that not only was Manyuelou fine, it was even more popular than before. It even organized a "Flying Sky" Oiran competition, and because the result was so good, it was decided to hold it every once in a while in the future. The winner could perform in a new drama dance and be the protagonist.

Although Yu'er said that she was going to leave Manyue Tower, she always thought that Manyue Tower could not do without her, which was why she dared to be so fearless and unscrupulous. But when she learned that Manyue Tower was still doing a booming business without her, she could not suppress the feeling of loss in her heart.

Yu'er raised her head and looked at the sky outside the courtyard wall, her eyes slightly dazzled...

Yu'er was immersed in the emotion of loss or unwillingness when she heard the maid saying that the princess of the county had come to make trouble.

Yu'er stood up suddenly. Of course she knew who the Princess of the County was. Wasn't the Princess of the County the elder sister of her lover Li Lucheng?

Yu'er was very excited. Her lover did not lie to her!

Yu'er was excited in the inner courtyard, while Madam Sang had a headache in the front courtyard.

As Xia Mianwan had expected, Li Yuwan brought Li Lucheng to her house. Her words implied that Yuer and Li Lucheng had already secretly decided to spend their lives together, and that she was going to take Yuer as her concubine.

The Princess of the County was of high status, so Madam Sang did not dare to offend her. She could only smile and say, "Princess of the County, this is really inconvenient. You know, Yu'er is our pillar, and she is not feeling well, so we really can't ask her to come out to see you."

The Princess signaled with her eyes and asked the maid to go forward and capture Madam Sang.

"Who the hell are you to negotiate with me?" The Princess of the County glared at him.

Madam Sang expected that the Princess would not be able to get away with it, but she had already discussed countermeasures with Xia Mianwan, so she did not feel humiliated at this moment.

Seeing that Madam Sang did not look scared, the Princess pointed at the little maid beside Madam Sang and said, "You! You, go and send a letter to Xia Mianwan, telling her that I'm waiting for her at Manyue Tower!"

The little maidservant didn't dare to make a decision on her own and looked at Madam Sang fearfully. Madam Sang nodded secretly at her, and then the little maidservant went to Pei Mansion to deliver the letter.

The little maid arrived at Pei's house, delivered the letter, and then hurried back, but Xia Mianwan had someone stop her.

"Hong Guoer, you have always been with your wife. Do you know where the brocade box in your wife's study is?" Xia Mianwan asked.

Hong Guoer had been following Madam Sang for a long time, and nodded quickly, "Madam, I know."

Xia Mianwan nodded, "Then let's go to the mansion to get it now. You and I will take the carriage together. After we get the brocade box, we will go to Manyue Tower."

"Yes, young lady."

After Xia Mianwan and Hong Guoer took the brocade box, they rushed straight to Manyue Tower and arrived there in less than half a cup of tea.

Xia Mianwan's late arrival made Li Yuwan very angry.

When Li Yuwan saw Xia Mianwan's graceful temperament, the flames in her heart exploded again.

"Mrs. Pei really kept me waiting!" Li Yuwan's eyes were full of arrogance.

Xia Mianwan smiled, turned her head and looked at Madam Sang who was being forced to kneel on the side, her eyes full of coldness.

"Princess, why do you treat Madam Sang like this?" Xia Mianwan asked.

Li Yuwan stood up with her eyes wide open, "How dare you! Madam Pei, have you really never seen the world? You won't bow to me, the princess?"

Xia Mianwan smiled slightly and said seriously: "You are right, I should salute, but I am holding the imperial edict... I dare not salute, for fear of being disrespectful to His Majesty."

Then Xia Mianwan signaled to the maid in the house to help Madam Sang up.

"How dare you! Who of you dare to move? Without my permission, who dares to move? Madam Pei is so bold that she even dares to fake an imperial edict!" Li Yuwan was sure that Xia Mianwan could not have an imperial edict in her hand. She was the princess of a county prince and knew about what was happening outside. If Xia Mianwan really had an imperial edict in her hand, it would have been spread all over the place long ago.

After being called by Li Yuwan, the maid brought by Xia Mianwan slowed down her movements.

Xia Mianwan knew that the old women in the house knew the rules. It was okay for women of the same rank, but women like the Princess of a County Prince were intimidating to them. She secretly memorized the names of these slow-moving old women and then waved her hand.

The person who came in at this time was the secret guard that Pei Yanxu specially left for Xia Mianwan to protect Xia Mianwan's safety.

"Young lady!"

The secret guard went straight to Madam Sang's side and with just the wind from his palm, he shook away the two maids from the Prince's Mansion who were holding Madam Sang.

Madam Sang stood up, rubbed her sore knees, and then walked to Xia Mianwan's side.

"Madam Pei, how dare you be so disrespectful to me?" Li Yuwan said angrily. She was careless today. She didn't expect that Xia Mianwan had a master by her side, and she didn't bring out the guards of the Prince's Mansion.
