The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Madam Sang was not hypocritical and told Xia Mianwan everything about her relationship with Mr. Cen. Xia Mianwan smiled and held Madam Sang's hand, "Sister Sang, since you have met someone you like, why are you so hesitant?"

Madam Sang sighed and said, "My past... although I was careless, I didn't realize it on weekdays and only thought I was great, but when I really met the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, I eventually found myself ashamed of myself."

Xia Mianwan saw that Madam Sang's eyes were red, so she gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, "Sister Sang, it's a lifetime anyway, why feel ashamed of yourself. You feel inferior because you cherish others, but Mr. Cen should also think of you in this way. In his eyes, you are also a person worth cherishing."

“It always feels like a gamble.”

Xia Mianwan said: "Indeed, this is a gamble, but if you have something precious, just gamble it. At worst, if you lose, you still have us."

"Is it the same for you and Yan Xu?" Madam Sang asked curiously.

Xia Mianwan raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "Sister Sang, Pei Yanxu is very good. Before, he and I were just partners. I helped him manage the inner house, and he gave me status. I didn't have any expectations, but after we really started to open up to each other, I think I was also gambling, but I was betting that I would win."

Madam Sang stared at Xia Mianwan in a daze. Since she met Xia Mianwan, she knew Xia Mianwan was sharp, intelligent, strong, kind, cold and calculating, but there had never been a moment when she felt that Xia Mianwan was so gentle.

"Mianwan, you seem to have changed a lot." said Madam Sang.

"But...if one day, Pei Yanxu betrayed you, what would you do?" Madam Sang knew that she shouldn't ask this, but she couldn't help it.

She wondered how Aestivation would do.

Xia Mianwan said: "If I betrayed you, I betrayed you. What I can give out, I naturally have the ability to take back."

Madam Sang laughed. Even though she was gentler and more gentle, Xia Mianwan was still as free and easy as she was before.

"I understand."

……

The story of Madam Sang and Mr. Cen just passed like that, and the two eventually got together. The most interesting thing is that with the emergence of Mr. Cen, Manyuehua Newspaper gained another powerful general.

Xia Mianwan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was becoming more and more difficult for her to move. Seeing how miserable Xia Mianwan was, Pei Yanxu had secretly made up his mind not to have another child.

"Mianwan, your belly is a little scary. Why don't I invite the imperial physician to come home and wait for you." Pei Yanxu was really worried.

Xia Mianwan shook her head and said, "The midwife is already in the mansion, but we can't be sure when the period will start. The imperial physician is not an ordinary doctor. If others find out, they will report you for being too presumptuous."

Pei Yanxu had an anxious look on his face, and in the end, he developed a habit of hibernating late at night and couldn't sleep at night. Pei Yanxu couldn't sleep either, because he was anxious.

However, this hard time did not last long. Within three days, summer hibernation began.

Xia Mianwan had arranged everything long ago, so everything was in order when she gave birth, but it was really painful. God, if she knew that giving birth would be so painful, she would never give birth even if she was beaten to death...

The midwife was relieved to see that Xia Mianwan was calm and didn't scream despite the pain. It is not easy to give birth to twins, and if you are not careful, there will be three deaths.

"Young Madam, eat something first. We will push hard soon. The imperial physician has already given you an injection. Don't worry, you will have a smooth delivery." The midwife gave Xia Mianwan food while giving her instructions.

Xia Mianwan has now forced herself to remain calm. She doesn't know what she is eating, but she is eating to have enough strength to give birth to the baby quickly.

Pei Yanxu was anxiously walking around outside the delivery room, "Mom, is giving birth so painful?"

Madam Pei nodded and said, "Giving birth to a woman is like walking through the gates of hell. Mian Wan is pregnant with two, so it will naturally be more painful."

Pei Yanxu became even more nervous now. He walked back and forth outside and wanted to go in to take a look, but was stopped by the maids. "No, sir, this is against the rules."

Mrs. Pei was a little angry when she saw Pei Yanxu was so impatient. "You're giving me a headache. Mian Wan will be fine. The imperial physician said that the position is fine and she can give birth smoothly. You'd better not go in. If you go in like this, it will only make Mian Wan more anxious."

Pei Yanxu thought so too and had to walk around outside again.

Madam Sang and Madam Yang also arrived at Pei's residence early and were waiting outside. "Sister Yang, do you think it's okay for Mian Wan to be pregnant with two babies?"

Madam Yang comforted him, "Don't worry, the imperial physician said it's fine, it should be fine."

Nanny Yuan also consoled her, "Don't worry too much. I just read your fortune and it says that good luck will come to you if you sleep late."

Madam Sang believed in Nanny Yuan's Liu Yao very much. She had asked Nanny Yuan to calculate the Liu Yao several times to ask for advice. Every time, she was able to avoid disaster and seek good fortune. Since Nanny Yuan said that Xia Mianwan was fine this time, then he must be fine.

"Young Madam, push harder, it's almost out!" the midwife shouted.

Xia Mianwan really didn't have the strength to give birth, "I have no strength left, it hurts so much!"

The midwife encouraged Xia Mianwan, "Madam, it's almost there, just hold on a little longer!"

Xia Mianwan was in so much pain, "Ginseng tea, ginseng tea..."

Seeing that Xia Mianwan was really out of strength, the midwife fed him another bowl of ginseng tea. After drinking the ginseng tea, Xia Mianwan relaxed a little and started to push again.

"It's out, it's out! It's a pair of twins, a boy and a girl!" As soon as the midwife finished speaking, the crying of a pair of babies echoed throughout the delivery room.

"It's born, it's born!" the midwife came out to announce the good news.

"Congratulations, sir! The young lady has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl! What a good omen!" Pei Yanxu rushed in upon hearing the words. He didn't even have time to look at the two children before he rushed in front of Xia Mianwan.

Xia Mianwan was already lying on the bed exhausted at this time. When she saw Pei Yanxu, she could only smile.

Pei Yanxu couldn't help crying when she saw this, "Madam, we will never have another child again!"

The midwife inside was amazed. It turned out that the legend about Lord Pei being afraid of his wife was actually true. When Madam Pei gave birth to a child, Lord Pei started crying before she even started crying herself.

Mrs. Pei was also very happy. She glanced at Xia Mianwan and then went to see the children. The two children looked so cute...

"Yan Xu, give the two children a name." Mrs. Pei said while holding the children.

Pei Yanxu's emotions had not yet calmed down, and he said with a choked breath: "These two stinky brats caused their mother to suffer so much, I won't give them a name."

Xia Mianwan looked at Pei Yanxu with some reproach, as if scolding him for talking nonsense.

In the end, Pei Yanxu reluctantly gave the two little kids nicknames, the boy was called Shi Ge'er and the girl was called Yuan Jie'er. As for their full names, it would be better to wait until their mother got better before choosing them, as their father didn't have the heart to think about it...
