Reborn, meet you again!

After Luoluo came out of Mrs. Pei's room, she quickly brought people to Pei Yujiao's room. Ignoring Pei Yujiao's obstruction, she carried out her young lady's things one by one.

Even the jewel hairpin on Pei Yujiao's head was "politely" pulled away by Luoluo.

Pei Yu raised her hand coquettishly and wanted to hit Luoluo, but Luoluo was smart and would not let a lazy young lady like her hurt her.

Pei Yujiao was unwilling to give in and asked for people to tie her up, but the servants in the Marquis' Mansion, having received orders from Madam Pei, had no intention of stepping forward to stop them.

She could only watch helplessly as people moved all the things away.

Feeling extremely humiliated, Pei Yujiao was so angry that she rushed to Mrs. Pei's yard to complain.

But before she could say a word, she was shocked by the situation before her.

I saw that my mother's room was even emptier than hers. All the screens, ornaments, calligraphy and paintings were gone.

It looks a bit shabby.

Pei Yujiao was stunned on the spot, her face full of disbelief.

"Mother, Jiang Wanqiao...even took everything out of your house?"

Mrs. Pei had calmed down at this time and spoke in a calm voice.

"good."

Pei Yujiao's eyes widened even more.

"Is Jiang Wanqiao crazy? Does she even know what she's doing?"

"Just now I saw that girl Luoluo taking people to Sister Jiahe's room! How dare she do that!"

"Mother, why didn't you stop her? And why didn't you allow the servants in the mansion to help?"

Mrs. Pei thought about what Jiang Wanqiao had said, that not only would she not care about Jiahe's betrothal gift, but she would also never give a penny to subsidize the Marquis' Mansion in the future. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

No matter what Jiang Wanqiao's motive was, her actions today had completely crossed her bottom line.

As the daughter of a merchant, she was obedient and sensible, which pleased her.

She asked herself whether he had been pretty good to her in the past three years.

But now... I can't stay.

"Stop it? Why should we stop it? If she has the ability to take the things away, she also needs to have the ability to keep them!"

"Our Marquis' Mansion...can't accommodate her anymore!"

Pei Yujiao's eyes moved.

"Mother, you mean..."

Madam Pei sneered and uttered two words.

"Divorce your wife!"

Since she doesn't know what's good for her, don't blame them for not remembering their past kindness!

……

As soon as Pei Qingyan and his father returned home, a servant came to tell them that the lady was waiting for them in the room.

When they arrived, they saw Mrs. Pei and Pei Yujiao were there.

As soon as Pei Yujiao saw her brother and father, she told them everything Jiang Wanqiao had done today and the grievances she and her mother had suffered.

"Brother, how can such an unruly person be worthy of you?"

"Just like my mother said, divorce her!"

Pei Qingyan frowned.

After suffering such a great humiliation yesterday, how could he not have thought of divorcing her?

But after thinking about it all night, he finally suppressed his thoughts.

"Mother, Jiang really should be divorced."

"But you also know that the Jiang family's kindness to my Ningyuan Marquisate is no secret in Shangjing. My son is divorcing his wife right after receiving military merit... I'm afraid people will say something!"

Seeing that his son knew how to consider the overall situation, Lord Pei nodded in agreement.

"Yan'er is right."

"We would rather the Marquisate be known as ungrateful and ungrateful at this moment. This would only give people something to talk about and ruin Yan'er's bright future. This is absolutely unacceptable."

Pei Yujiao pouted in dissatisfaction.

"But father, she's already riding high on mother's head. If brother doesn't divorce her, who knows how arrogant she'll become in the future!"

"Did father just watch my mother and I being bullied by her?"

Mrs. Pei naturally stood on the side of her daughter.

"Master, how could I not know what you and Yan'er are worried about? If I divorce Jiang Wanqiao for no reason, my mansion will indeed be criticized."

"But things are different now. Jiang Wanqiao committed suicide because of Jiahe's matter, and now she's contradicting me like this. She's already violated two of the seven grounds for divorce: jealousy and unfilial piety."

"As long as we can find a way to prove this, my mansion will have every reason to divorce her. What can others say?"

"She's a merchant's daughter, helpless in the capital. If she divorced, then so be it. Is there anyone who can seek justice for her?"

"And if Jiahe becomes the legal wife, the child in her belly will be the future master of the Marquisate. She will be even more dedicated to helping Yan'er, right? Our relationship with the Empress Dowager will also be able to take a step forward!"

Pei Qingyan was a little moved when he heard this.

After all, Jiang Wanqiao’s humiliating words from last night were still fresh in his mind, and it could be said that they had exhausted the last bit of guilt he felt towards her.

If I could divorce her legitimately and marry Jiahe as my legal wife...

He was naturally happy in his heart.

Thinking of this, Pei Qingyan looked at his father with some uncertainty.

"Father, what mother said is not without reason."

"Jiang's temper has become so erratic now. If we keep her in the mansion, I don't know how much trouble she will cause when she goes out to represent our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in the future."

"It would be better to make a decision immediately."

Lord Pei had just felt that his son had become more stable, but now seeing that his son was persuaded by just a few words, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

This son is still too easy on the ears.

If the Regent's army had not been so unstoppable and he had not ordered his men to give all the military merits to him, how could he be where he is today?

He protected him so well...

"Stupid! Have you forgotten that Jiang Wanqiao attempted suicide a few days ago?"

"If I divorce my wife now, and she dies in my mansion, not to mention the reputation of Yan'er and the Shen family girl, even the Queen Mother who arranged your marriage might be criticized."

"The new emperor has just ascended the throne. If word gets out that the empress dowager is abusing her power to protect her family and causing a loss of life, how are you going to handle this?"

"My mansion has finally had the opportunity to make a comeback, and we can't afford any mistakes now!"

Mrs. Pei felt anxious when she saw that her son had relented but her husband disagreed.

"But Master, yesterday Jiang Wanqiao ordered a lot of flashy things as betrothal gifts for Jiahe."

"I had the accountant do a thorough inventory today, and the public funds we have now are not even enough to pay the balance of the items she ordered."

"I finally understand. Jiang Wanqiao must have planned this all along. Seeing Jiahe about to come in, she was afraid, so she deliberately emptied the wealth of our Marquis' Mansion! To control the Marquis' Mansion!"

"If we can't divorce her and let her leave her dowry to make up for it, what will happen to Yan'er's marriage? Will it really become our ancestral property and be laughed at by others?"

Lord Pei frowned when he heard this.

"How could the Marquis's family's coffers be drained out just to buy a betrothal gift? Didn't you say the other day that you would go with her in person?"

At this point, Mrs. Pei no longer cared to hide what she had done impulsively yesterday.

He told the whole story, and said it angrily.

"It was all Jiang Wanqiao who deliberately plotted against me! Jiao'er said that Jiang Wanqiao had some connections with Fang Yuan, and maybe Madam Fang was the one who asked Fang Yuan to invite her here!"

"I never realized before that she had such a vicious heart!"

After being together for so many years, Pei Ming naturally understood his wife.

"Vicious? If you weren't so concerned about your reputation, you wouldn't have fallen for her trick!"

"You're already this old, can't you be more cautious in doing things?"

Mrs. Pei felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lord Pei scolding her in front of the children.

"Things have already come to this. What's the point of blaming me? I am doing this for the reputation of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion!"

"The most important thing now is to solve the current problem, right?"

Pei Ming did not continue to argue with Mrs. Pei.

After thinking for a moment, he sneered, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said leisurely.

"Why are you so anxious? Divorce is absolutely not an option right now. As for the betrothal gift..."

"You said last night that the Jiang family sent someone to say they would enter the capital in two days. Have you informed Jiang Wanqiao?"
