The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

The third young master Pei Wuyan returned to Chuihua Pavilion dejectedly.

"How is it, Yan'er, has your elder brother agreed to let you stay?" Aunt Zhao was anxious.

Pei Wuyan shook his head, his voice as low as it could be: "Big brother told me to study hard. If I don't learn, I'm not worthy of being a descendant of the Pei family."

Aunt Zhao was so angry that her chest was stuffy. She clutched her handkerchief and kept beating her chest:

"What a hard heart! He actually wants to separate us mother and son! He's a sickly child without a mother, so naturally he's jealous of you having your mother by your side every day! How vicious! I'm going to write to the master!"

Pei Wuyan quickly stopped her: "Mother, what my eldest brother said is not wrong. I am already fourteen years old, and it is time for me to be independent."

"You're only fourteen, still a child. The academy is a long way away, and I heard the teacher is very strict. How can you study well if you don't eat or sleep well? Mother really can't bear to leave you!"

Aunt Zhao hugged Pei Wuyan and began to sob again.

"It's all my fault for being born in a humble family. I can only bow my head in the Pei Mansion, and I've also caused trouble for you, being sent away at will. Wuyan, my son, you must strive to be good. Let's see how long Pei Jinzhi can be so proud. Isn't he relying on the fact that he is the legitimate son and can inherit the title? Why doesn't he go to school and take the imperial examinations? Just because he came out of my legitimate mother's womb, he can lie down and enjoy wealth and glory. Poor my son, so smart, he is indeed a concubine's son, which makes him inferior to him."

"Mom, don't say that. Big brother has always taken good care of us mother and son. He cares about me even more than mother does."

Pei Wuyan still knew what was good and what was bad. Although Kang was his mother in name only, she rarely cared about him.

Pei You didn't care much about his illegitimate son.

Instead, it was his elder brother Pei Jinzhi who would often ask him about his homework and give him advice on his studies.

"That's what he deserves. I may be humble, but you are the Third Young Master of the Pei Mansion. Who would dare to look down on you? That's because the Master is not here. If the Master were here, I would definitely be able to please the Master and make more plans for you and me."

Speaking of which, Aunt Zhao hasn't seen Pei You for more than a year. She only knows that the master is in the capital, but she has no idea why they can't accompany him in the capital and why they have to come to Fengshui Town.

"Mother, if you use your beauty to please a man, your beauty will eventually fade and your love will wane. After Yan'er goes to the academy, mother will have more time to read. This way, you and father will have something to talk about in the future."

Pei Wuyan said so much, but Aunt Zhao didn't understand at all: "What do you mean by love and relaxation? It's all so literary, I don't understand. What's the point of reading books? Those characters, they recognize me, but I don't recognize them. Just looking at them gives me a headache. It would be better to invite a troupe to sing a few songs to relieve the boredom. But the old lady likes quietness, not to mention the troupe, she won't even let in someone playing the pipa or singing. It's so suffocating."

She was originally an opera singer, and was taken into Pei You's mansion because of her beauty. She was also lucky, as she gave birth to Pei Wuyan, and thus enjoyed a lifetime of wealth and honor.

I'm used to enjoying the good life in the capital, with its fireworks and bustling sceneries, and I've seen all kinds of excitement. How can I stand the coldness of Fengshui Town?

Pei Wuyan saw that he couldn't persuade her, so he had to give up.

"Mother, Yan'er will be leaving tomorrow, please take care of yourself."

"My son, my sweetheart, how can I live without you?"

After saying this, Aunt Zhao burst into tears again.

On this side, Sang Wan, leaning on a wooden stick, finally returned to the town before the city gate was locked.

Along the way, she was afraid that Pei Jinzhi had ambushed someone secretly and was watching her, so she didn't dare to use her lightness skills. She walked back to Fengshui Town from the top of the mountain on her own two feet.

At this moment, the legs were no longer her legs.

Her legs were shaking, and she just wanted to lie on the ground and lie dead.

Pei Jinzhi, you bastard, just wait for me!

After finally returning home, I heard Liu Yumei yelling in a shrill voice again.

Sang Wan's ears were buzzing from the shock.

Seeing her come back, Liu Yumei rushed over anxiously: "Awan, have you seen your brother?"

"My brother? It's already dark, and he hasn't come back yet?" Sang Wan wondered.

"Yeah! I sent someone to Changlefang, but he was nowhere to be found. I wonder where this bastard has gone to spend his days drinking and partying again."

Liu Yumei was extremely anxious. Could it be that after making some fortune, he was seduced by some vixen?

Sang Wan no longer had the energy to comfort her, she just wanted to lie down:

"Then let the servants look for him again. If he can't find him in Changlefang, go to Cuiyue Tower. If he still can't find him in Cuiyue Tower, go to Yaoqinxuan. He's either in a restaurant or a gambling house, or somewhere like that. Just search door to door."

Seeing her walking in while talking, Liu Yumei sighed a few times and started to criticize her:

"You're so calm even though your brother is missing. It's true that if you're not born from the same mother, you won't be close to her. Your brother always treats you so well, always thinking of you when he has something delicious to eat, and you just say something and ignore it?"

Sang Wan didn't even turn her head and walked into the room.

Passing by Sang's mother's room, she heard her mother calling her: "Wan'er..."

She sighed and turned to go to Sang's mother's residence.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Have you made it clear with Madam Cheng today?"

Sang's mother was very concerned and looked very anxious.

"Mother, the shop is very busy today. I went to the suburbs to pick herbs and didn't have time to tell her. I will explain everything to her tomorrow. Don't worry."

Mother Sang sighed. Seeing her covered in dust and dirt, she felt very distressed. "I'm just afraid she'll hurt you again. Now that you know what's going on, I'm relieved. Go and get some rest."

"Okay." Sang Wan turned and was about to leave.

Mother Sang called her again:

"Wan'er, why hasn't your brother come back yet?"

Sang Wan sighed, "Mother, my brother's legs are on his body. If he wants to come back, he will come back naturally. My sister-in-law has asked the doorman to look for him. Don't worry about it."

"Oh, I'm just worried. Do you think he'll go back to gambling? How about, Wan'er, go look for him?"

Mother Sang looked at her carefully.

Sang Wan wanted to refuse outright, but seeing her panicked eyes like a rabbit, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she had to say patiently, "Okay, Mom, wait for me to change my clothes, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I told you that Wan'er is the most caring. I have a good daughter like you, and everything is enough for me!"

Sang's mother smiled with a sense of comfort.

Sang Wan's face was full of fatigue, but she still forced a smile: "As long as mother is here, I am content."

She was abandoned at birth. If the Sang couple had not picked her up, she might have become a wandering ghost.

People should be content and grateful.

The Sang family has done her a favor, and she has to repay it.

*

The candlelight flickers and the night falls.

She heated some hot water and took off her outer garments.

A gust of wind came from above his head, and Sang Wan instinctively dodged to the side.

A chill rose from the soles of her feet. She didn't care that she was only wearing a white inner garment. She took a few steps back to distance herself from the black shadow.

A man in black held a sword, the cold light was like white silk, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

The sword moves came so fiercely that Sang Wan had no time to call for help.

She tiptoed back and leaped, the sword slashing at the spot where she had been standing, breaking the wooden bench into two.

Sang Wan broke out in a cold sweat. She was just one step away from ending up like the wooden bench.

She used her martial arts skills to fly to the top of the table, picked up a vase and threw it at him.

But the man in black was a master. He swung his sword and caught the vase steadily without even a sound.

Sang Wan rolled her eyes and tried to fly out of the window, but was seen through by the man in black who moved to the window before her.

She turned and ran out the door again, but the man in black was faster than her.

She ran away, and the man in black chased her and kept holding on.

He raised his sword and attacked Sang Wan with a series of killing moves. The sword flashed in all directions, making Sang Wan dazzled.

Strangely enough, the sword seemed to have eyes, and it could hit the vital point directly every time, but it would stop just enough, like a cat teasing a mouse, playing with her.

Sang Wan's martial arts skills were only enough to allow him to escape, and his hand and foot skills were no match for the man in black.

Soon, a sword was pointed at her throat and she dared not move.

Cold sweat poured down like rain.

"Who are you and why are you killing me?"
