The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Xia Mianwan smiled and said, "In that case, let Baozhu stay in Pei Mansion."

Liang was somewhat reluctant. She had not yet met Pei Baozhu. If she did not take Pei Baozhu back, how could she marry into the Qiu family on time?

Liang hadn't figured out how to get Pei Baozhu back yet. She kept thinking about it, but she couldn't get her to leave by force. So Liang said, "That's fine. Let Baozhu stay here and wait for her to get married."

Xia Mianwan raised her eyebrows slightly. This old woman was so shameless. "Has Baozhu already found a boyfriend? I haven't heard her mother mention it. If she is really engaged, I can help find out about it, so that I can go and add to her dowry when the time comes."

Liang's smile froze slightly when she was asked. Even if she was thick-skinned, she couldn't say in front of Xia Mianwan that she wanted to send her granddaughter to be a concubine...

"Well...no." Liang said absentmindedly.

Xia Mianwan knew it well, so he just smiled and stopped talking.

Liang thought for a moment and said, "Then ask my daughter-in-law, Baozhu and Baoyu to come out and meet me."

Xia Mianwan smiled slightly and said, "Okay!" Then she waved her hand to signal Chai'er to go to Yangliuyuan to call someone.

Liang was relieved to see that Xia Mianwan did not stop her from meeting him. It seemed that Baozhu did not say anything that would embarrass both him and the old man.

When Grandma Pei, Pei Baozhu and Baoyu came out, Liang was still smiling. Since Xia Mianwan was also present, she couldn't say anything else.

"Yushu, what's wrong with you? Why did you come to the capital without informing us? How could you leave without leaving a letter? It's hard for your father and I to find you." Liang said.

Grandma Pei said calmly: "Mom, we have nothing to do, we just came out for a walk."

"Baozhu is about to get married, why are you still so ignorant? You are a mother now, and it is because of you that my son left so early!" Originally Liang really intended to talk nicely, but Grandma Pei's indifferent look reminded her of what happened in the past.

Liang's eldest son was a very filial son before he got married. After he got married, he began to care more about his own family and was no longer the obedient son who did whatever his mother said.

Liang naturally had many complaints, but every time she had a conflict with her eldest daughter-in-law, she was furious. Her eldest daughter-in-law always looked indifferent, and her own son always helped her daughter-in-law. How could she not be angry?

Liang thought of her son, and how he had asked her to take good care of his daughter-in-law until her death. She felt even more angry and spoke angrily.

Grandma Pei was already used to her mother-in-law's behavior. She said calmly, "You can't wear this hat like this, mother."

Pei Baoyu clenched his fists in anger when he saw his mother being bullied again. His grandparents always bullied his mother and his sister. What was infuriating was that if it weren't for his mother's dowry, they would not have been able to live so comfortably.

Liang said bitterly: "Don't think you can be safe just hiding here!"

"You don't need to worry about this, grandma. Just worry about your own affairs." Pei Baozhu said in a stiff tone.

"How could our family produce such an ungrateful person like you? Your grandfather had planned such a good marriage for you, but you are so ungrateful!" Liang said angrily.

Pei Baozhu glanced at Xia Mianwan at this time. After seeing Xia Mianwan nodded slightly, Pei Baozhu completely let go and threw herself at it, "How am I an ungrateful person? Do you want to tell me what kind of family you want me to marry into? If you don't find it embarrassing, then I will! Which good family would send their granddaughter away as a concubine?"

Liang's face flushed red after being rebuked by Pei Baozhu. "What are you talking about? What's wrong with being a concubine? Even if you are a concubine, it's not something that ordinary people can afford. You are the concubine of a high-ranking official in the capital. You will be taken in to enjoy the good life in the future!"

Pei Baozhu sneered: "I can't afford this kind of blessing, why don't you go by yourself!"

Liang pointed at Pei Baozhu and said, "You evil creature, do you still have any rules?"

Pei Baozhu's face was full of sarcasm. "If the rules mean that I will be skinned and blood-drunk by you, I would rather have no rules. My mother has done enough over the years, but how come it is our eldest wife's turn to sell the girls? You can let the girls from the second and third wives enjoy such a good life, why don't you let them?"

Pei Baozhu suddenly laughed out loud at this time, "Hahahaha... Let me guess why the girls from the second and third rooms are not allowed to go. I guess it's because they have fathers and are prone to making trouble, right?"

When Pei Baozhu asked the words "is this right?", her eyes looked particularly innocent, which made Liang Shi feel scared. This is a lunatic, this is absolutely a lunatic!

Liang took a few steps back, her face extremely ugly, "Where did you hear that your family wanted to send you to be a concubine?"

Pei Baozhu smiled coldly and moved closer to Liang, "What do you think, Grandmother?"

Liang pushed Pei Baozhu away fiercely and said angrily: "Do you think you can live in the Pei family forever? You have to go back eventually!"

Pei Baozhu said indifferently: "You are right, I will go back sooner or later, but don't I need to go back now?"

Liang's face turned pale and then red. After a long while, she turned around and said to Xia Mianwan, "My granddaughter is too ignorant. I want to take her home and discipline her. Otherwise, how can she get married in the future if she is so rude?"

Xia Mianwan was a little confused when she heard this. "You are too kind. I just don't have my own opinion. You said you wanted to marry me off, and then you said you wanted to send me to be a concubine. I don't understand. I don't dare to make a decision for a while when my mother-in-law is not around. I am very scared. I have promised Grandma Pei that I will let them stay here for a while. If I drive them out, I am afraid that others will say something unpleasant. Hey, how did I get into this situation? What should I do?"

Xia Mianwan looked at Liang with embarrassment, her expression was flustered, anxious, and seemed to be restless.

"Hey, what's going on? My head suddenly hurts so much..." Xia Mianwan touched her forehead and looked at Liang with a painful expression.

Seeing this, Ru Meng quickly supported Xia Mianwan, "You are so presumptuous. You dare to speak so foul language in front of our young lady! Our young lady is kind-hearted. She always thought that you are members of the Pei family and it is not good to suppress you too much with your status. But I didn't expect that you would be so ignorant of the rules! Ru Zhu, show the guests away!"

Ruzhu hurriedly hit himself a few times when he heard this, "Look at what I have done. When the master went out, he repeatedly told me to take good care of the lady!"

Ruzhu felt remorseful, then stepped forward and pulled Liang to drive her out of the house.
