The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Pei Yanyue's wedding was finally arranged in a lively manner, and Xia Mianwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was her first time arranging a wedding for someone else.

On the wedding day, Pei Yanyue cried uncontrollably. She thought about her mother, Xia Mianwan, and her younger brothers and sisters. The more she thought, the sadder she felt.

Xia Mianwan herself didn't feel anything, but seeing Pei Yanyue so sad, she couldn't help but shed a few tears.

When returning home, Xia Mianwan looked at Pei Yanyue carefully, and was relieved to see that Pei Yanyue looked good.

Pei Yanyue had been with Xia Mianwan for some time, and the two of them had developed some feelings for each other.

"Ayue, how does your husband treat you?" Pei Yanxu took Qian Mingzhang to the study to talk. After meeting Mrs. Pei and his younger brothers and sisters, Xia Mianwan took Pei Yanyue to the garden to talk some private things.

Pei Yanyue nodded shyly with a blush on her face, "My husband treats me very well."

"Where is your mother-in-law?" Xia Mianwan asked again.

Pei Yanyue thought for a moment and said, "My mother-in-law is a little eccentric, but I can see that she has tried her best to treat me well. She told me that when my husband was on duty, there were only two of us at home, so I didn't need to be polite or set rules, and I just needed to be comfortable."

Xia Mianwan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Your mother-in-law is a wonderful person."

Pei Yanyue nodded, "It wasn't easy for my mother-in-law to raise my husband. I will treat her better in the future."

"Put yourself in her shoes. This is a good idea." Xia Mianwan was very satisfied with this marriage. Qian Mingzhang's mother was so understanding and reasonable, so she would not have raised a bad son.

After strolling around the garden for a while, Xia Mianwan asked Pei Yanyue to talk to her sisters, and she went back to Shaoguangyuan to rest.

It has been really tiring to take care of the wedding these days. I always feel tired and my body aches a lot when I sleep late in the summer.

When they had dinner together in the evening, Mrs. Pei saw that Xia Mianwan was really tired and asked her to go back and rest. After dinner, she went to Pei Yanxu's study room.

Mrs. Pei seldom came to Pei Yanxu's study, and she looked so worried, which made Pei Yanxu feel confused.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Pei Yanxu asked.

"How is Mianwan? She looked very tired just now..." asked Mrs. Pei.

Pei Yanxu had not seen Xia Mianwan today, so he hurriedly asked, "Is Mianwan feeling uncomfortable? Then I'll go see her. Do you want a doctor to take a look? Forget it, I'll just call an imperial physician to take a look."

Pei Yanxu went to look for his badge as he spoke, looking like a headless fly. Mrs. Pei couldn't help but roll her eyes and grabbed her stupid son.

"Wait a minute, you are so quick to say it. Well, your wife...is not pregnant, is she?" asked Mrs. Pei.

Pei Yanxu was stunned. "Mother, what are you talking about? I've only been back for a short time..."

Mrs. Pei calculated the time and felt that it made sense. "Look, I was confused. I thought Mian Wan was pregnant, and you were messing with her..."

Pei Yanxu's face instantly turned red and his neck thickened. "Nothing, mother, I'll go see Mianwan."

Madam Pei nodded and said, "Then you go, I will go back too."

Pei Yanxu just thought it was outrageous. He and Xia Mianwan were not really a couple yet. But it would be nice to have a daughter, who would definitely be as pretty as Xia Mianwan.

Pei Yanxu, who was thinking too much, was having all sorts of random thoughts the whole way.

Xia Mianwan was lying in bed at this time. She must have a fever and had just taken a cold medicine. This was the first time she was sick since she entered the book.

She felt groggy all over, and recalled many things that happened before she crossed into the book, which made her feel a little bad.

When Xia Mianwan didn't smile, she looked very cold. When Pei Yanxu came in, he seemed to see the cold moonlight.

"Mianwan, what's wrong with you? I'll go call the imperial physician for you." Pei Yanxu said.

"I think I caught a cold. It's okay. I've already taken medicine. I just still feel a little sore in my body." Xia Mianwan said.

"No, I still have to call the imperial physician." Pei Yanxu touched Xia Mianwan's forehead. It was hot and he became even more anxious.

Xia Mianwan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Pei Yanxu knows what I am doing."

"But I have no idea. I'll let Qian Da go and call."

Xia Mianwan thought for a moment and said, "If the condition doesn't improve tomorrow, can you go call the imperial physician?"

I just took some cold medicine during the summer night and I’m afraid that taking too much Chinese medicine would be too much.

Pei Yanxu thought about it and agreed. Seeing that Xia Mianwan was uncomfortable no matter how she lay down, he walked over and sat beside the bed, letting Xia Mianwan half lie down and lean on him.

"Will this be better?" Pei Yanxu asked.

Xia Mianwan felt that this position was indeed okay, so she nodded and closed her eyes, "It feels okay."

Pei Yanxu couldn't see Xia Mianwan's expression in this position. Seeing that she felt quite comfortable, he said, "Then close your eyes and sleep for a while. I'll stay here with you."

Xia Mianwan's mind was groggy, and she mumbled, "Pei Yanxu, aren't you afraid of catching a cold..."

Pei Yanxu said softly: "I'm not afraid."

"Um……"

Afterwards, Xia Mianwan fell into a deep sleep. The maids were tactful and did not disturb her, so Pei Yanxu stayed in this position all night long.

When Xia Mianwan woke up, Pei Yanxu had fallen asleep leaning against the railing at the edge of the bed. Pei Yanxu woke up as soon as Xia Mianwan moved slightly.

"Mianwan, you're awake." Pei Yanxu said as he used the back of his right hand to test the temperature on Xia Mianwan's forehead, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Great, everything is fine."

Xia Mianwan sat up straight and asked embarrassedly: "You're going to be like this all night?"

Pei Yanxu saw that Xia Mianwan was rarely embarrassed, so he teased her deliberately, "Yes, it hurts, my back hurts, and my feet are numb."

Xia Mianwan understood something. Pei Yanxu was just teasing her, so she patted Pei Yanxu hard and said, "A real man, this little pain is nothing. Your wife has caught a cold, why do you want to do nothing?"

Pei Yanxu couldn't help laughing and said, "Didn't I accompany the lady for the whole night?"

Xia Mianwan ignored her and called Ruzhu to get some water.

"That's just right. What if you catch a cold? Wash it after you feel better." Pei Yanxu couldn't help but say.

Ruzhu looked at Xia Mianwan in embarrassment. Xia Mianwan thought it made sense, after all, she was the one who was sick and uncomfortable, so she agreed.
