The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

After Xia Mianwan and Zhuang Sasa reached a consensus, they looked at each other and decided to put on a show.

"Get out of here!" Zhuang Sasa's scream rang out in the shed.

Xia Mianwan smiled and smashed the tea bowl in front of her. "Zhuang Sasa, how did you treat me back then? What about you now? So, people should never leave any road to extinction no matter what."

The officers heard the noise and came in, "Mrs. Pei, please calm down."

Xia Mianwan glanced at Zhuang Sasa coldly and said, "Zhuang Sasa, why don't you admit your mistake to me? Isn't it true that you stole someone else's husband?"

Zhuang Sasa turned her head away stubbornly. It was impossible to ask him to apologize.

The officials were afraid of causing trouble, so they stepped forward to persuade her: "Mrs. Pei, this matter has already passed. You are a capable person, so don't bother with her."

Xia Mianwan was unwilling and asked Ruzhu to hand over the silver to the official. The official was really afraid of causing trouble, and everyone was watching, so he really didn't dare to take it. He continued to persuade with a bitter face: "Mrs. Pei, I hope you won't make things difficult for us."

Xia Mianwan said coldly: "In that case, let's go!"

After Xia Mianwan finished speaking, she glared at Zhuang Sasa fiercely and left with Ruzhu. Ruzhu looked at her young mistress cautiously, not understanding why she suddenly got angry.

Xia Mianwan said to Ruzhu, "Rush, go into the city on a fast horse and find Qian Da. Ask him to inform your husband that I have something important to discuss with him. Remember not to alert the enemy."

It would be troublesome to make a fuss among the exiled population in public, but if Zhuang Sasa was poisoned and could not be seen by anyone, it would be much easier to deal with.

There was a woman among the secret guards that Pei Yan had given to her. Xia Mianwan picked one with a figure similar to Zhuang Sasa. After she put on a poisonous sore makeup, it was hard to tell that she was not Zhuang Sasa unless you looked closely.

After this was done, Pei Yanxu came back. Xia Mianwan must have something important to tell him, so he hurried back from the Zhenguo Mansion.

Xia Mianwan told Pei Yanxu about her conversation with Zhuang Sasa today. Pei Yanxu was overjoyed after listening to it. This was definitely a pleasant surprise.

"Madam, I didn't expect that you could convince Zhuang Sasa." Pei Yan probably really didn't expect it.

Xia Mianwan smiled and said, "Husband, because Zhuang Sasa and I know too well what kind of person Zheng Xiaoyun is. If Zhuang Sasa really wants to do good for the child, she will choose to cooperate with us."

"Then I will arrange people now, and I will take Qinglian with me." Qinglian was the person who Xia Mianwan had put on poisonous sore makeup just now.

The faster Xia Mianwan and Pei Yanxu move, the slower Zheng Xiaoyun has to react. As long as Zheng Xiaoyun has no time to react, the other people in the Zheng family will not have the heart to kill their grandson.

Zhuang Sasa returned to the capital three days later, and Xia Mianwan arranged her to stay in the west courtyard of the Pei Mansion.

As soon as Zhuang Sasa saw Xia Mianwan, she couldn't wait to ask, "How is my child?"

"He's fine. He's now being kept in Old Lady Zheng's yard." Xia Mianwan said.

When Zhuang Sasa heard that the child was in Old Madam Zheng's yard, she breathed a sigh of relief. Old Madam Zheng still protected her descendants and was considered one of the clear-headed people in the Zheng family.

"Zhuang Sasa, we must achieve victory by surprise. If we miss the attack and give Zheng Xiaoyun time to react, your son will become Zheng Xiaoyun's weapon." Xia Mianwan said.

How could Zhuang Sasa not understand this truth? She pondered for a while and said, "Actually... I have evidence."

Xia Mianwan looked at Zhuang Sasa and motioned for her to continue.

"I had a maid who was already old enough, so I found a family to send her away. I gave her a generous dowry. She... was picked up by my father from outside and raised for a long time. We had a deep relationship. Later... I found out about Zheng Xiaoyun and you, and I was worried about my son's prospects and future, so I was cautious. Zheng Xiaoyun has always been cautious and careful at home, so... I hid all these things with Ahe." Zhuang Sasa said.

"Is Ah He your maid?" Xia Mianwan asked.

"Yes!" Zhuang Sasa continued to nod and said, "I recorded all the dealings between Zheng Xiaoyun and the Japanese pirates and compiled them into an account book for Ah He. I also kept some of the letters that Zheng Xiaoyun didn't have time to burn because he was being watched by you.

In this case, the Salt Gang and Zheng Xiaoyun also had dealings, and because they had to pass information through our Zhuang family, many things passed through my hands. I didn’t throw away those things, and asked Ah He to hide them all. "Zhuang Sasa said.

Xia Mianwan didn't expect that Zhuang Wan had saved so much evidence. With these evidences, why worry about not being able to convict Zheng Xiaoyun?

"How can I gain Xiao He's trust? I will send someone to get it now to prevent any more trouble." Xia Mianwan asked.

Zhuang Sasa took out half of the jade from her inner garment and said, "This is a keepsake. The real jade can be combined with Xiaohe's half. I will write another letter and you can take it with you to give to Xiaohe."

Xia Mianwan took the jade pendant handed over by Zhuang Sasa and said, "In this case, you should be ready. If everything goes well, we will bring you to the emperor tomorrow."

Zhuang Sasa was stunned for a moment when she heard this, "Go to see the emperor directly?" She was not sure if she could withstand Zheng Xiaoyun's sophistry.

Seeing that Zhuang Sasa was a little panicked, Xia Mianwan sighed and said, "Zhuang Sasa, this is all for our children. You should know that only in this way can we control Zheng Xiaoyun and your children will be safe."

Zhuang Sasa knew it, but she was still a little scared. She looked at Xia Mianwan and asked, "Were you scared at first?"

"I'm different from you. I don't take children that seriously. I don't take anything seriously, so... I've never been afraid. Zheng Xiaoyun has no right to scare me." Xia Mianwan shook her head.

Zhuang Sasa didn't expect Xia Mianwan to be such a free and easy person. No wonder she never won against him before. It turns out that in this world, you have to give up before you can gain.

"I've thought about it. You guys make the arrangements. I'll do my best." Zhuang Sasa's eyes were firm and her gaze was burning.

Xia Mianwan smiled, patted Zhuang Sasa on the shoulder and said, "I wish us success."
