The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

After Rumeng returned to the mansion, the blush on her face faded away. She returned to her room. Ruzhu was sitting by the window sewing a cloth bag. When she saw Rumeng coming back, her face was not as ugly as before, so she asked casually, "Sister Rumeng, are you okay?"

Rumeng smiled and pulled Xiudun over to sit next to Ruzhu. "What are you doing?"

Ruzhu handed the cloth bag in his hand to Rumeng and said, "I made this for you. It was inconvenient for you to go to the kitchen to get something when you got up early that day, so this cloth bag is for you to put something in. If you want to put something in it, you don't have to run twice."

Ru Meng was stunned for a long time after hearing this. After a while, she said hesitantly, "Ruzhu, what do you think of me?"

Ruzhu felt that Rumeng was a little strange, so he asked, "What are you talking about?"

Rumeng held onto Ruzhu's hand, refusing to let go. "Ruzhu, who do you think I am to you?"

Ruzhu noticed the seriousness in Rumeng's eyes, so she put down the cloth bag in her hand and said, "Rumeng, you are older than me and more stable than me. I have always regarded you as my sister."

"Madam treats me well all the time, would you be unhappy?" Ru Meng asked again.

"What are you talking about? Madam has always treated you and me more favorably than she treats others. Why should I be unhappy?" Ruzhu asked in confusion.

Rumeng suddenly realized that she and Ruzhu had been together for a long time and sometimes she felt jealous and thought that the Madam treated her better. However, she forgot that since they followed the Madam, Ruzhu had always been sincere to her or the Madam.

Rumeng suffered a lot since she was a child. Her parents and brother brought her endless pain. Her original name was not Rumeng, but Pan'er. Her parents did not value her, and of course, her parents did not value her brother. Her mother always thought that only by giving birth to a child could she survive and gain a foothold in her husband's family. But the fact later was that even if her mother did give birth to a son, it could not change her gambling father.

Ru Meng thought she had forgotten all these past events, but she didn't expect that the memories would keep churning in her mind.

"Rumeng... Rumeng... what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?" Ruzhu shook Rumeng's body worriedly.

When Rumeng came to her senses, she was already in tears. She felt very sad, so she threw herself into Ruzhu's arms and cried. Ruzhu was a little scared because she had never seen Rumeng cry like this.

Ruzhu had no choice but to hug Rumeng and pat her on the back, "Rumeng, don't cry."

When Rumeng was tired of crying, Ruzhu went to get some water and helped her wipe her face. Although Ruzhu didn't know what had happened, she knew that she had to protect Rumeng at this time.

After wiping her face clean, Rumeng calmed down. She said a little embarrassedly, "Ruzhu, I lost my composure today."

Ruzhu smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Just know that no matter what happens, I'm here, and my wife will never let you suffer any loss."

Ru Meng seemed to have figured something out and nodded heavily, "Well, I won't let you and the Madam down."

……

Shi Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er were at the age when they were very naughty, so Nanny Chen and the two wet nurses had to keep a close eye on them, for fear that the two naughty kids would start fighting again if they were not careful.

Xia Mianwan was very worried about the education of these two troublemakers. The reason was simple: Pei Yanxu doted on the children too much. No matter what rules she made, Pei Yanxu would say that the children were still young. This made her so angry that she and Pei Yanxu had quarreled many times.

Xia Mianwan is looking at the roster now. She plans to find a teacher for the two children as soon as possible. Not to mention anything else, it would be better to restrain their temper. They are too lawless. The key point is that even Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er are helping the two little troublemakers. It is really lawless.

If she can't manage it herself, she will find someone else to manage it. Xia Mianwan will never make things difficult for herself. But this is not enlightenment after all, so she wants to find a teacher who can scare Shi Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er, no matter what the teacher teaches.

When Rumeng came, Xia Mianwan was still looking through the list. There was indeed no suitable person, and she looked worried.

"Madam." Ru Meng said.

Xia Mianwan raised her head and smiled, calling Rumeng to come over and sit down. "What's going on?"

"Madam, I've thought it through." Ru Meng said with a smile.

It's only been half a day, and she has thought it through so quickly. Xia Mianwan couldn't help but feel a little worried. Is she determined to marry Chen Xiaosheng?

"Madam, I have made up my mind. After we return to the capital, I will...I will marry Qian Da. I have already agreed with him." Rumeng shyly told Xia Mianwan about her relationship with Qian Da.

Now it was Xia Mianwan's turn to widen his eyes. Half a day ago, it was Chen Xiaosheng, but half a day later, he had become... Qian Da? When did Qian Da have feelings for Rumeng? Xia Mianwan looked at Rumeng suspiciously.

Rumeng was no longer shy. She had to make things clear. After telling Xia Mianwan what Qian Da had said to her today, Rumeng said, "Madam, I was distracted before, but after Ruzhu said those words to me today, the knot in my heart has been removed. I was obsessed, please don't blame me."

Xia Mianwan was still immersed in the story of Qian Da and Rumeng, "You...even if you are not Chen Xiaosheng, you are not necessarily Qian Da. Do you know him well? Since you haven't thought about getting married yet, can you plan slowly?"

Rumeng shook her head and said shyly, "Madam, you don't know that Qian Da is very popular among the maids. There are several maids in our family who have a crush on him. It's better to settle him down as soon as possible so that he can't snatch him away."

Rumeng thought about it carefully when she calmed down. Compared with others, Qian Da really knew everything about him. Moreover, Qian Da was tall and mighty, and was capable. He had always been the confidant of the master and the lady. If you meet a good one, you must not miss it, Rumeng thought.

Xia Mianwan didn't know what to say about this unexpected turn of events, but she thought it was good that Rumeng and Qian Da could be together. After all, Qian Da had a good character and there was no mess in his family.

Thinking of this, Xia Mianwan said, "Should we arrange an engagement for you first, so that others know that Qian Da is Miss Rumeng's?"

Xia Mianwan's teasing tone was obvious, and Rumeng was no longer shy at this moment. She said confidently, "Madam, please don't make fun of me. You should wait for Qian Da to tell you whether you want to get engaged or not. I will just tell him my feelings."

Xia Mianwan thought there was nothing wrong with this, so she said, "Then when you get married, I will return your indenture to you. Then you will have the freedom you've always wanted, and you can live a good life with Qian Da from now on."

"Yes! Thank you, Madam!" Rumeng nodded heavily. She knew that Xia Mianwan treated her really well and would not even help her make choices. Everything was up to her. She would never meet another mistress like her in her life. She would definitely repay Xia Mianwan well. Even if she left the house in the future, she would remember her for the rest of her life.
