The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Li Yaoyuan seemed to have eyes next to her ears. She also saw the Pei sisters looking at each other. This really stirred up a hornet's nest. Li Yaoyuan wiped her tears with a "woooo woooo".

Mrs. Pei was still immersed in joy. Li Yaoyuan's actions confused her. "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying for no reason?"

"I don't know if I changed after I got pregnant, mother, it's okay. I could endure all kinds of grievances before I got pregnant, but after I got pregnant, I can't bear even the slightest thing. Mother, I'm useless, don't blame me!" Li Yaoyuan said while wiping her tears.

Xia Mianwan: "..."

In front of outsiders, Li Yaoyuan spoke as if the Pei family had made her very angry. Mrs. Pei was not a fool and naturally understood what she heard. She became a little unhappy at the moment.

Madam Pei lowered her face and said, "What do you want to say? What kind of injustice has the Pei family caused you?"

Li Yaoyuan didn't expect that Madam Pei would be so unable to grasp the point. She paused while wiping her tears. "Mother, that's not what I meant. Blame me. I became a little dull after I got pregnant."

Mrs. Pei looked at Li Yaoyuan and sighed deeply. How could such a good family and such a good second son marry such a wife?

"Yaoyuan, you are going to be a mother, so you should speak directly if you have something to say. If you don't speak directly, how can we know what you mean?"

Li Yaoyuan said with tears in her eyes, "Mother treats me well, I am narrow-minded. I just told you about my pregnancy, and I saw some meaningful looks in my sisters' eyes. I wondered if they didn't welcome the child of Yan Shu and me."

The Pei family's sisters all widened their eyes in shock. They didn't have that. "We don't have that."

Li Yaoyuan said aggrievedly: "Of course I know that my sisters don't have it, but after you got pregnant, you might have been a little suspicious. As soon as I said I was pregnant, you looked at each other, and I thought too much."

At this time, Lian smiled and said, "You are a meritorious official of the Pei family. How could my sisters not welcome your and Yan Shu's child? Don't think too much, nephew and daughter-in-law."

Li Yaoyuan nodded, "Of course I know."

Li Yaoyuan and Lian sang the same tune, which made the girls of the Pei family very angry. Pei Yanqi could not stand such grievance and said, "Second sister-in-law, stop spreading rumors about us. We didn't mean that. If you really think you understand our meaning, why would you cry and say it in front of others?"

Pei Yanqi's words made Li Yaoyuan start crying again, her eyes red again. "Sister, I've said it before, I'm pregnant so I'm like this, I'm not a suspicious person, I know you guys are usually good to sister-in-law, I'm pregnant but sister-in-law still isn't pregnant, you may feel sorry for sister-in-law, but why do you think I did it on purpose?"

Pei Yanqi was so angry at Li Yaoyuan's crying and talking that she didn't know how to refute. She could only look at Xia Mianwan with her eyes wide open.

Xia Mianwan was speechless. This woman, Li Yaoyuan, was really sick. She kept talking about being pregnant. If you didn't know, you would think being pregnant was a big deal.

Xia Mianwan said, "Okay, don't let others laugh at you, sister-in-law, why are you arguing with a few little girls?"

Li Yaoyuan said timidly: "Sister-in-law, it's all my fault anyway, don't be angry."

Mrs. Pei frowned at Li Yaoyuan's behavior, but Lian Shi noticed it. She looked at Xia Mianwan and said, "Mianwan is still not pregnant?"

Xia Mianwan said calmly: "Yes."

Lian looked at Xia Mianwan with a worried look on her face and said, "This is not right. You and Yan Xu have been married for a long time, why haven't you gotten pregnant yet? I heard that Manyue Tower, Manyue Academy, and Manyue Workshop are all your businesses, and you are the head of the Pei Mansion. Are you too busy and your body can't bear it?"

What Lian said was not pleasant at all. Xia Mianwan raised her brows slightly. How could there be someone so self-righteous as to make trouble for others?

Li Yaoyuan was very happy. Someone said what she wanted to say for her. Isn't this a good thing?

"My aunt is so idle that she even cares about whether other people are pregnant or not? You should just take care of your own wife. I have a bad temper and only my mother-in-law can control me. I will scold others if they gossip about me." Xia Mianwan said lightly.

Li Yaoyuan didn't expect Xia Mianwan to dare to say that to Lian. After sensing Lian's embarrassment, she quickly chimed in, "Sister-in-law, your aunt is doing this for your own good. How can you be so rude? Relatives in our family are supposed to be of the same blood and we can't do this."

Seeing that Li Yaoyuan spoke for her, Lian nodded and said, "Mianwan, I have no ill intentions. I am really doing this for your own good. Look, your mother-in-law still hasn't had a grandchild!"

Xia Mianwan burst out laughing, "Aunt, what you said is quite funny. Doesn't it mean that the child my brother and sister-in-law has now is not the child of the Pei family?"

Lian's eyes widened in anger. Isn't Xia Mianwan just making trouble? How could this be misinterpreted?

But Li Yaoyuan couldn't bear to hear such words, and still felt a little unhappy in her heart.

"Mianwan, let me be bold and say something..." Lian wanted to teach Xia Mianwan a lesson earnestly.

Xia Mianwan did not give Lian this opportunity. "If you know that I am arrogant, who is so shameless to say something when you know that I am arrogant? You don't take care of your own family affairs enough, and you want to take care of other people's family affairs?"

Lian was so embarrassed that she said to Madam Pei, "Your Pei family is so precious now. I dare not say anything."

Li Yaoyuan smiled and said, "Aunt, don't be angry. Sister-in-law didn't mean it."

Mrs. Pei pretended not to hear anything. Since Lian was looking for trouble herself, why should she care?

Lian couldn't get a response from Mrs. Pei, which made her even more unhappy. She frowned and stopped talking, and the scene was frozen for a moment.

Seeing her mother-in-law was so angry that she stopped talking, Zhou was really helpless. Originally, they planned to live in Pei's house for a while after arriving in the capital, so that when her husband passed the exam, they would have a reason to live in Pei's house together. Everyone knew that Pei Yanxu was a big hit with the emperor and the prince, and maybe she could get Pei Yanxu's guidance, or at least save some room fees. It would be even better if she could take him out to see the world and socialize, but now it seemed that something was not going as planned, so how could she ask to stay.

At this point, Lian had no choice but to say, "Mother-in-law, why don't we go back to the inn first."

Lian Shi was not willing to go back to the inn. They came here just to stay at Pei Mansion. She waited for a while and saw that Madam Pei had no intention of keeping her, so she had no choice but to say, "I wanted to stay here for a few days, but since you are annoying, my daughter-in-law and I will leave."

Madam Pei smiled and said, "In that case, I won't keep you here."

Xia Mianwan then stood up and said, "Mother, it's not easy for my aunt to come here, I'll let Chai'er see her off."

"Then let Chai'er take it to the inn, and make sure it's safe."

"Yes."

Li Yaoyuan didn't expect that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would cooperate to chase people away, and she couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
