"What are you so arrogant about in front of me now? You're disgusting."

"Just like you said, consider this a way to get rid of a beggar. Don't bother me in the future, I'm afraid of poor ghosts."

"..." Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Xu's mother was filled with remorse.

Anyway, I got completely ripped off today.

I was thinking that since Jiang Zhiyun makes delicious noodles, it wouldn't hurt to buy some and try it. I could just tell everyone I threw it away later, right?

Such thoughts are now completely out of the question.

Now that I think about it carefully, I just feel like these three hundred coins have been lost.

The teahouse didn't make a single penny today; we've been busy for nothing these past few days. And now we've even been ripped off for three hundred coins.

She was mainly worried because of her son and daughter-in-law's condition.

However, they couldn't embarrass the family in public, so they left with grim expressions.

Jiang Zhiwan was happy along the way, and pulled Xu's mother and said, "Mother, this time you help me deal with Jiang Zhiyun. In the future, Ping An and I will take care of you together."

"As for that teahouse, you don't need to worry. The reputation of this teahouse at the alley entrance will only grow stronger in the future. By then, I will be the richest woman in this place of exile, and I will even go to Bianjing, to even more powerful places..."

All the way, Xu's mother listened to Jiang Zhiwan talking, still immersed in the sadness of losing three hundred coins.

"Don't look down on me just because I'm not making money now. In the future, all the teahouses will have to follow my lead. Mother, husband, as long as you trust me, you'll be able to enjoy a comfortable life with me in the future!"

"..."

Xu's mother, who was initially distressed about the money, finally came to her senses.

Then she heard her daughter-in-law start bragging. Even though Xu's mother was usually so confident, she couldn't stand it at this moment.

"Keep your voice down, do you think this is honorable?"

"You opened a teahouse, made it so bustling and lively for so many days, but in the end you didn't make a single penny. Are our whole family going to suffer bad luck because of you?"

She was somewhat at a loss: "Mother, you don't believe me..."

"Why should I believe you? You have nothing and you want to get something for nothing? You were supposed to take me and Ping An to the market today, but Jiang Zhiyun inexplicably swindled three hundred coins from us."

Then he tugged at her sleeve and said, "Three hundred coins? Do you know how long that's enough to feed so many people in our family? When you and Ping An got married, you only spent four hundred coins on a banquet."

The more she thinks about it, the more confused she becomes; she's been completely screwed over today.

"Jiang Zhiwan, you'd better give me double or triple the money you spent. All the money you gave to Jiang Zhiyun today will be on your tab."

Jiang Zhiwan felt wronged. Why was her younger sister so scheming?

She went to offer her condolences today with good intentions, thinking she would be in the limelight, but now she's being scolded by her mother.

Then, looking at her belly, Xu's mother said, "Stop daydreaming about making money all day long. Your belly should be showing signs of pregnancy by now. Giving us a big, healthy grandson is the real deal."

"If you don't get pregnant, then what was the point of marrying you?"

The more she talked, the angrier she became. Xu's mother had always disliked Jiang Zhiwan.

He's in a bad mood right now, and he's saying whatever hurtful things he can think of.

Jiang Zhiwan looked at Xu Ping'an with a wronged expression, saying, "But... my husband and I are both trying our best." Her face was flushed as she spoke, and her eyes seemed to be exchanging affection as she looked at him.

Xu Ping'an nodded: "Mother, as long as it's within this year, there's no rush."

“Look at your mother’s body this night, so thin and small, and she only cares about having a pretty face. She’s no good anywhere else.”

"Let's not even talk about that. Giving birth will be a life-threatening ordeal for her. The way she is, she must be in poor health, yet she keeps pestering you and partying every night."

Whenever these things were mentioned, Xu's mother would get extremely angry. "Isn't this just a vixen?"

Jiang Zhiwan, who had also lived a second life, felt uncomfortable hearing such constant accusations: "What Mother said is wrong. Having a child is a matter for two people. Although I am thin, my body is fine."

So you mean there's something wrong with my son?

She was a little angry and pointed at Jiang Zhiwan, starting to curse: "What kind of woman are you? My son takes care of you and cherishes you every day, and now you can't have children and you're blaming him?"

"What did he do wrong? He committed a terrible sin!"

Xu Ping'an's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant: "Wan Niang, you've gone too far. For you to say such things to me, a man, is an insult!"

Jiang Zhiwan was somewhat at a loss for words, but still said, "My lord, my mother."

"Please don't do this, I... I didn't mean that."

Xu Pingan held his mother's hand, seeing how upset she was, and kept wiping away her tears: "Mother, don't be sad. No matter what, I will always be on your side."

“Wanniang, you are so disrespectful to your elders, and you even speak ill of my husband. I really don’t know how to communicate with you. I hope you will go back, reflect on your actions, and then consider what to do next.”

"If you do not repent, I will not hesitate to write a divorce agreement."

Xu Ping'an had always felt that his family was poor and his appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, so it would be difficult for someone like him to find a spouse.

But now that Jiang Zhiwan has been so persistent in marrying him, even though they are married now, many women are coming to see him.

Many people want to see what he looks like.

Therefore, Xu Ping'an gained confidence: "I may not be able to say for sure about other things. But there are plenty of people who want to marry me."

“Divorce…” Jiang Zhiwan murmured to herself, she was even a little shocked.

Because she always felt that she was truly by Xu Ping'an's side. She never imagined that such a simple verbal argument would lead him to say something like "let's get a divorce."

She went through so much trouble and effort to marry Xu Ping'an, how did it all end up like this?

She's like a used shoe, someone who can be discarded no matter what.

With Xu Ping'an and the Xu family having such a powerful future, she was waiting to be named a Lady of the Imperial Decree. To be abandoned here like this, what will become of her?

Seeing her husband's coldness, Jiang Zhiwan was frightened. She quickly grabbed his sleeve, tears streaming down her face.

"Please, my lord, I was really wrong. I will never say such things to my mother-in-law again, and I will never slander you."

She usually argues with her mother-in-law, but things are fine as long as her husband sides with her. Now, it's because the issue of the child was brought up that her husband feels his dignity has been damaged, which is why he's acting this way.

So Jiang Zhiwan looked at him earnestly: "My lord, I will definitely satisfy you."

She looked at Xu Ping'an's neck and said very earnestly, "How about I give you my all tonight?"

"At that time, my lord only needs to enjoy himself."

Her cheeks were already red as she spoke.

Xu Ping'an's eyes began to gleam with cunning.

So she doesn't want a divorce! Then we can use the divorce issue to blackmail her in the future.
