The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Qian Da was waiting in front of the carriage. When he saw his wife coming out with a rolling pin, he was silent...

Xia Mianwan was dressed up handsomely. After getting on the carriage, she asked Qian Da to go to Pei Yanxu's side.

When they arrived at the place, Xia Mianwan was helped out of the car, "Let's go."

After Xia Mianwan finished speaking, she asked Qian Da to lead the way. When the waiter and the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw Xia Mianwan dressed like this, they hurried over to greet her, "Madam, are you looking for someone or are you here for a drink?"

Xia Mianwan was so angry that she shouted loudly, "I'm looking for Pei Yanxu. Call him out. What time is it? He hasn't come home for such a long time and drinks outside every day. What does it look like? Pei Yanxu, Pei Yanxu!"

This restaurant is owned by the Xu family. The shopkeeper here is not only in charge of the restaurant's business, but also a servant of the Duke's Mansion. These servants of wealthy families, apart from other things, have a certain knowledge of the people in the court. Although he doesn't know Xia Mianwan, he knows who Pei Yanxu is.

"Madam, madam, please wait a moment, Lord Pei is talking about something." The shopkeeper said hurriedly.

Xia Mianwan took the rolling pin handed over by Ruzhu and pointed at the shopkeeper and said, "What are you talking about so late? It's already so late. You don't have to go home. Do you know that your sister is getting married soon? Go and call him down for me. If you don't, I'll beat him upstairs."

The shopkeeper was frightened by Xia Mianwan's momentum. He had never heard that Madam Pei was so fierce. He was really afraid that Xia Mianwan would fight him upstairs, so he bowed and said, "Madam Pei, I'll go upstairs and call Master Pei. Please wait a moment, wait a moment."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and hurried to the second floor.

Xia Mianwan was waiting on the first floor with a rolling pin. Ruzhu looked at Xia Mianwan secretly, feeling a little unbelievable. This was the first time she saw her wife acting like a shrew.

After a while, the shopkeeper came down and said with a stiff smile, "I'm sorry, Madam Pei, Master Pei is still drinking, and he asked you to go back first."

Xia Mian pushed the shopkeeper before he got home that night, "How dare you lie? Pei Yanxu dared to let me go back first? What nonsense are you talking about? Believe it or not, I will beat you up first!"

The shopkeeper was stunned. He had never seen a lady come to their restaurant and do it herself. "Mrs. Pei, it's really what Lord Pei said."

Xia Mianwan's eyes widened with anger. "I don't believe it. Get up and go up by myself. Which room?"

The shopkeeper was shocked and waved his hands, saying, "No, no, there are ministers in here."

"Ruzhu, push this noisy old man away. If you don't tell me which room you want, I will search every room!" As soon as Xia Mianwan finished speaking, Ruzhu pushed the shopkeeper away.

The shopkeeper was also surprised that this little maid was so strong! In just a moment of distraction, Xia Mianwan had already climbed the stairs. The shopkeeper and the waiter hurried to chase her, but were stopped by the other servants Xia Mianwan brought with her.

Xia Mianwan saw the room guarded by the Xu family's guards and walked over with a rolling pin in hand. Naturally, the guards from the Duke's Mansion stopped Xia Mianwan.

Xia Mianwan knocked hard on the door of the private room with a rolling pin, "Pei Yanxu, I know you are in there, please open the door!"

"Pei Yanxu, get out of here right now. Are you going to stop drinking every day?"

"Pei Yanxu! Pei Yanxu!"

The guards of the Duke's Mansion knew that it was Pei Yanxu's wife and didn't dare to do anything. However, it was really awkward to continue the quarrel. The two looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, the door opened from the inside, and Pei Yanxu staggered open the door with a drunken look on his face, "What are you doing! Do you know that I am discussing important matters with the Ninth Prince, Duke Xu, Minister Qiu, and Lord Zhuang!"

As soon as Pei Yanxu finished speaking, the faces of the people sitting inside turned dark. Did this guy do it on purpose? Why did he reveal who was in the private room?

Xia Mianwan laughed secretly and started to flirt with Pei Yanxu, "I don't care who you talk to. Are you a man? Your sister is getting married and you don't even go home. Is that reasonable?"

After saying that, Xia Mianwan grabbed one of the guards and said, "Young man, please judge for me. You said, after we got married, he went to Yubei, and after finally returning to Beijing, he was drinking outside every day. Do you think this is reasonable?"

The big guard was sweating profusely and turned his head to look at Pei Yanxu.

Pei Yanxu said with a big tongue: "You bitch, I am here for an official social event, and you don't even allow me to do this. Is that reasonable? Isn't it because of our family that I spend less time with you?"

"Stop talking nonsense. You are not drinking in a bar. Is it really the Ninth Prince, Duke Xu, Lord Qiu, and Lord Zhuang in there?" Xia Mianwan stretched his neck to look inside with some suspicion.

Pei Yanxu quickly used his body to block it from Xia Mianwan.

Now, everyone inside and outside was shocked.

The people sitting inside all thought that there was no need to pull us out again to report our names.

Xia Mianwan outside was getting excited, "Pei Yanxu! Explain clearly! If it's just you guys, why can't you show me what's wrong with that? I suspect it's not just the prince, Duke Xu, Lord Qiu, and Lord Zhuang inside!"

Everyone: "..."

Pei Yanxu was almost dying of laughter. He didn't expect Xia Mianwan's acting was so good. It looked so real. He suppressed his laughter and said with a straight face, "Don't mess around! Let's go back now. There's no one else inside..."

"Okay, Pei Yanxu, you clearly have something to hide. Tell me, tell me if the person inside is your mistress!" Xia Mianwan was not willing to leave. She gestured to Ruzhu, who immediately pushed Pei Yanxu away and kicked open the door of the private room.

Ruzhu's kick came too suddenly. Duke Xu's guards didn't react, Pei Yanxu didn't react, and the people sitting inside didn't react either...

Xia Mianwan saw the situation inside and said awkwardly: "Ah, it's really the Ninth Prince, Duke Xu, the Marquis, Lord Qiu and Lord Zhuang! I didn't expect it was really you..."

After saying this, Xia Mianwan started crying again, "It's all my husband's fault that he's not home every day. I was just too angry. I'm really sorry." After saying this, she quickly stepped forward and closed the door again.

Everyone: "..."

Pei Yanxu saw that the show was almost over, and hurriedly said, "Madam, please stop making trouble. I'll go in and tell them, and I'll go back with you right away."

Xia Mianwan reached out and grabbed Pei Yanxu's ear and glared at him, saying, "Just say it right here!"

Pei Yanxu had no choice but to be pulled by the ears and said goodbye to the people inside with a bitter face.

Everyone inside looked at each other in bewilderment, still not understanding what was going on...

However, their original plan was disrupted. Xia Mianwan's chaos meant that by tomorrow the whole capital would know that they had been drinking together for several days...
