The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Zheng Lingwan looked at Xia Mianwan in astonishment. She had never seen Xia Mianwan so cold before. "Sister Xia..."

Xia Mianwan smiled faintly, "Are you surprised why I am so indifferent?"

Zheng Lingwan nodded blankly, "Sister Xia, you have become a little different."

Xia Mianwan looked at Zheng Lingwan and said, "Actually, I haven't changed. I have always been this kind of person. It's just that you think I am very kind and generous. It's not that I don't care, but I didn't have the ability to care at that time. For example, your brother tried to kill me several times. How could I not care? It's just that I couldn't kill him at that time. But as long as I am given the opportunity, I will definitely seize it and kill him."

"You admitted it, you admitted it, right? You bitch, don't let me see you next time, I will definitely kill you." Mrs. Zheng was almost crazy, but she was held by Ruzhu and Rumeng, and she couldn't struggle free.

Xia Mianwan put her hands behind her back and approached Madam Zheng and said, "I admit it, so what? It's impossible for a person to be so lucky as to come out of the Northland twice. You have already used up your good luck in this life. You have received my blessing but you don't appreciate it, so you must pay it back."

After Zheng Xiaoyun said goodbye to Madam Zheng, he walked straight towards Xia Mianwan and said, "Xia Mianwan, have you seen enough jokes?"

Summer sleeps late but smiles without saying a word.

Zheng Xiaoyun was wearing shackles at this time and looked very embarrassed.

She had seen enough jokes. The shadow that had covered Xia Mianwan for a long time also completely disappeared. She smiled faintly, "I've seen enough jokes now."

Zheng Xiaoyun laughed angrily, "Xia Mianwan, you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid that I will turn the tables and kill you one day?"

Xia Mianwan was surprised and asked, "Wouldn't you kill me if I wasn't so arrogant? We have been enemies for a long time. Regardless of whether you have the luck to turn things around again, in the face of absolute strength, it doesn't matter whether you can turn things around or not."

Xia Mianwan and Zheng Xiaoyun's eyes met again, and this time, Zheng Xiaoyun finally showed cowardice.

……

When Xia Mianwan returned to Pei Mansion, Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er were waiting for her in Shaoguang Courtyard. "Chen Ge'er, Yu Jie'er, why are you here?"

"Father said that someone sent some game and asked us to try his hand-made food." Yu Jie'er handed a bowl of watermelon cut by Xuan Xue to Xia Mianwan.

Xia Mianwan touched Yu Jie'er's head and took the bowl. "Okay, then why not go call your grandmother and your aunts over."

Yu Jie'er clapped her hands and said, "Mother, I'll go and call her right away."

A fragrance wafted from the small kitchen, and it was long-lasting. Xia Mianwan sniffed and said, "What a nice smell."

Chen Ge'er was very discerning and took a few pieces of roasted meat and handed them to Xia Mianwan, "Mother, try it."

Xia Mianwan tasted a piece and was surprised that Pei Yanxu's cooking skills were quite good. "Delicious!"

Seeing that his mother liked it, Chen Ge'er went to the kitchen and took a few more pieces of barbecue. Pei Yanxu patted Chen Ge's hand while grilling, "You've taken several pieces now."

"Mother wants to eat!" As soon as Chen Ge'er said that Xia Mianwan wanted to eat, Pei Yanxu fell silent and specially picked out a few pieces of roasted meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside for Chen Ge'er.

After a while, Yu Jie'er came over with Madam Pei and Nanny Yuan, followed by Pei Yanshu, Pei Yanqi, Pei Ling and Pei Xia.

"I heard that it was Yan Xu who grilled the meat himself today, and he learned the skill in Yubei. I must try it." Mrs. Pei said with a smile.

"Yeah, I haven't tasted my elder brother's cooking for a long time." Pei Yanshu remembered when they were young, they didn't have enough to eat at home, so Pei Yanxu always took them out to catch fish and hunt. He missed it so much...

Xia Mianwan listened to Pei Yanshu and Pei Yanqi recounting their childhood stories, and suddenly discovered a different side of Pei Yanxu. Today, it seemed that Pei Yanxu was afraid that she still had resentment in her heart, so he deliberately tried to make her happy.

Xia Mianwan thought of what she had just said to Madam Zheng, that people should cherish their blessings. She looked towards the kitchen. She couldn't actually see Pei Yanxu from this angle, but it seemed that with him around, everything would become very reassuring.

Xia Mianwan smiled and said, yes, people should really cherish their blessings.

"Young Madam, Madam Zhuang is looking for you at the back door." Chai'er came to report.

Xia Mianwan stood up after hearing this and said, "Mom, I'm going to go out for a while."

Madam Pei nodded with a gentle smile. She patted Xia Mianwan's hand and said, "Be good, come back soon, don't let mother worry."

"Okay!" Xia Mianwan responded.

Xia Mianwan followed Chai'er to the back door, and Zhuang Sasa had been waiting at the door for a while.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Xia Mianwan asked.

Zhuang Sasa nodded and said, "I'm leaving, so I thought I'd come and say goodbye to you."

"Leave?" The emperor did not confiscate Zhuang Sasa's dowry. She lived alone in the capital with her son relying on the dowry. As long as it was not too extravagant, she could still live a worry-free life.

The breeze ruffled Zhuang Sasa's hair. She stroked it and explained with a smile, "I have no relatives in the capital. My father and brother are both in the north. It doesn't matter where I stay, so... I want to go to the north."

Xia Mianwan was very surprised, "The mountains are high and the waters are long. Will it be dangerous if you bring me along?"

Zhuang Sasa said, "Before I got married, I was also a top-notch expert in our gang. Otherwise, how could I have saved Zheng Xiaoyun? It's just that I haven't held a stick for a long time, and I gradually forgot what I used to look like. Besides, I have also found the most famous escort agency in the capital to escort me to the north. Daddy and brother are all alone. Although you took care of them in the past, I think their life will not be easy. So, I want to buy a house in the north so that I can take care of daddy and brother."

Everyone has his own destiny, and Xia Mian Ye will not say much.

"Then... take care of yourself."

Zhuang Sasa nodded, "Xia Mianwan, I didn't expect that you would help me in the end. Although it was because we had a common enemy, I also thank you for not caring that I treated you as my imaginary enemy at that time. In fact, in this kind of thing, most of us women suffer, but I turned a blind eye and didn't see or hear anything, and in the end, my father and brother were also deeply trapped. Thank you, Xia Mianwan!"

Xia Mianwan felt a little sad at this moment, "You're welcome, take care."

Zhuang Sasa knew that she and Xia Mianwan could never be friends. "If there is a need for me in the future, I will definitely not sit idly by. I owe you this. After all, I know that if it weren't for you, even if I was fine, I wouldn't be able to keep these dowries. What's more, if you hadn't planned for me, Zheng Xiaoyun might have already... Anyway, thank you very much. I will definitely repay you for this favor."

"Okay!" Xia Mianwan agreed readily.
