The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Xia Mianwan was really impressed by Pei Yanqi, and now she could ask her for his favor so confidently.

Tan Yuming also knelt down and said, "Mrs. Pei, please help me. Please give me some time. I will go to the Pei Mansion to propose marriage."

Xia Mianwan raised her eyebrows slightly, and Ruzhu quickly brought a bamboo chair. After Xia Mianwan sat down, she looked at Tan Yuming leisurely, "Mr. Tan, since you are a scholar, you must know... what is meant by unmatched marriage, right? If you really want to, you should follow the rules. You instigated my Pei family's girl to get married to you and forced me to agree to your marriage. Isn't this a bit wrong?"

Tan Yuming didn't expect that all the words he said to coax Pei Yanqi were heard, but although he was a little flustered, he didn't show it on his face. After all, he was a thousand-year-old fox and had deceived many women. Even if he was exposed, he didn't change his expression.

Tan Yuming knew very well that at this time, it was even more important not to put the cart before the horse. It didn't matter whether others believed it or not. What mattered was whether Pei Yanqi believed it or not. He held Pei Yanqi's hand affectionately and said, "Madam, I have to instigate you. I know that Aqi and I are really not a good match. I am not Aqi's ideal man. I have thought about breaking up with Aqi, but it is true that we are too connected to each other. I want to break up but I can't. It's my fault... I love her too much. Sometimes I did make up my mind several times, but I wavered several times. Please don't blame Aqi. All the mistakes are on me."

Xia Mianwan was amused and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Mr. Tan, you are quite good at showing off your affection. You must have successfully fooled many girls, right?"

Tan Yuming sensed the humiliation in Xia Mianwan's tone and said angrily, "I am a scholar after all. For Aqi, I am willing to be humiliated by you, but this does not mean that you can humiliate me."

Pei Yanqi was also infected by Tan Yuming and felt that Xia Mianwan was too much.

"Sister-in-law, I respect you as my sister-in-law. I know you are not someone who sticks to family background, so I told you what was in my heart. But I didn't expect you to humiliate Mr. Tan like this. I was wrong. You are no different from others."

Xia Mianwan nodded and said, "Second sister, you are absolutely right. I am no different from others. There are no special people in this world, so... you are no different either. There is no need to be so excited or angry."

Pei Yanqi was really overwhelmed by the love between men and women, but it seemed that Tan Yuming had learned how to PUA rich girls in modern times, and every word he said hit the mark accurately.

As soon as Xia Mianwan finished speaking, Tan Yuming hugged Pei Yanqi in his arms with a distressed look on his face, "Madam Pei, it's fine if you don't like me and humiliate me. Ah Qi is the sister of Master Pei and the master of the Pei family. Why do you have to do this?

"Mr. Tan, why don't we stop talking about other things. If I agree to your proposal, what standards will you use? As far as I know, the family you were engaged to before, you threatened to give a lot of betrothal gifts!" Xia Mianwan did not confront Tan Yuming directly, as such people were always full of lies.

When Pei Yanqi heard that Tan Yuming was engaged, she looked at him with some confusion. Tan Yuming had not told her that he had been engaged.

Tan Yuming's eyes were sharp as he looked at Xia Mianwan, "I wonder what Madam Pei means by this?"

"Didn't you tell my second sister that you were engaged? The person you were engaged to was Liu Qingyue, the daughter of a landlord in Qinghe Village. Her body is still warm, and you... are too heartless." Xia Mianwan's face was filled with regret, as if she really felt sorry for this perfect couple.

Pei Yanqi looked at Xia Mianwan in surprise, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

"Why not let your Master Tan tell us, and I'll find Miss Liu's maid to tell you." Xia Mianwan hit the nail on the head. Tan Yueming's calm expression disappeared and his eyes began to evade.

Tan Yuming had deceived many people before, so he had a good psychological quality. Seeing that he was exposed, he still had the strength to struggle. He grabbed Pei Yanqi's hand and put it in his arms, "Aqi, I did deceive you. I was indeed engaged to Miss Liu, but later her family didn't like me, and I didn't pass the imperial examination as we agreed. After that, I withdrew the engagement to prevent them from looking down on me. This is why I pushed you away several times before. I am still scared, so I dare not say more. Aqi, if you don't believe me, I can't do anything... But what I said is from the bottom of my heart. I, Tan Yuming, can be honest to heaven and earth. I really love Aqi. If I lied and deceived people, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Tan Yuming cried as he spoke. The sadness and pain on his face almost made the little maidservant who didn't know the whole story cry.

Wow, Xia Mianwan was amazed. If he was born in modern times, his acting skills would be amazing!

Xia Mianwan was not upset, but Pei Yanqi was not like that. She had already been deceived and felt that it was fate. "Mr. Tan, tell me, what happened? As long as you tell me, I will believe you. The past is the past. I promise that I will never dislike you because you are engaged."

Xia Mianwan really wanted to sigh. Tan Yuming was truly an excellent singer and composer. Without wanting to say more, Xia Mianwan raised her hand, and Miss Liu's maid was brought up.

"Madam, I am a maid of the Liu family. My name is Xiao He."

Xia Mianwan nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao He, don't be afraid. Tell us about Mr. Tan and your young lady. Don't lie or exaggerate. Do you understand?"

"Yes, young lady."

"Mr. Tan and our young lady met at a temple fair. At that time, the young lady lost a ruby ​​earring and Mr. Tan picked it up. Mr. Tan returned the money and was handsome, so the young lady was very happy. Later, when the young lady and Mr. Tan became familiar with each other, they developed some feelings for each other. When our master found out, although he had some complaints in his heart, he thought that if the young lady liked it, she should agree, thinking that Mr. Tan was a scholar.

Mr. Tan really came to propose marriage, and told the master that he would marry our daughter only if she passed the imperial examination, and that she would be the most glorious wife of a juren. Our daughter was so moved that she wanted to give her heart to this beast, but who knew that Mr. Tan would find excuses to ask her for money again and again, and forced her to become the dowry prepared by the master for her.

Later, the master found out and was furious. He forbade the young lady to do this again. Later, the master discovered that Mr. Tan had been having an affair with Xiaoju, the young lady's maid, and they had worked together to deceive the young lady. The young lady regarded Mr. Tan as her confidant and thought that they were destined to be together. In fact, those coincidences were told to Mr. Tan by Xiaoju. "
