The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Pei Yanqi couldn't believe that Xia Mianwan was so cold. Before this incident, Xia Mianwan had been gentle, considerate and generous to her and Pei Yanyue, but now Xia Mianwan actually wanted to expel her from the Pei family.

When something goes wrong, the first thing people look for is not their own problems, but other people's problems.

Pei Yanqi was so angry that she stiffened her neck and said, "You have no say. I don't believe you. Let's go back to the Pei family. If my eldest brother and mother also say they want to expel me from the Pei family, then that will count."

Summer hibernation late no comment.

Tan Yuming felt that something was wrong. He knew how much private money Pei Yanqi had. Qingyan was in charge of the private vault, and most of the things were already in his hands. He originally thought that as long as he had done it with Pei Yanqi, he could get out of the water. Becoming the brother-in-law of Master Pei would be a great help to him. However, who knew that the mistress of the Pei family was so powerful that she wanted to drive Pei Yanqi out of the house without blinking an eye. What should he do...

If Pei Yanqi was expelled from the Pei family, what else could Pei Yanqi use? However, he didn't believe it. He also didn't believe that Pei Yanxu and Madam Pei would allow Xia Mianwan to directly expel Pei Yanqi from the house. To be honest, he didn't believe it.

Pei Yanqi stood up and was about to go home, but was stopped by Xia Mianwan's maid, "Second Miss, you are not a girl of the Pei family now, where are you going?"

"I want to see my mother." Pei Yanqi said hatefully.

Xia Mianwan sighed and said, "You're really determined to see the Yellow River. There's no need to go back to Pei Mansion. Since you've made up your mind, I've made up my mind too. Ruzhu, go and call your husband and mother-in-law over, and ask a group of servants to guard the door of this shabby house."

"Yes." Ruzhu took the order and left.

When Pei Yanqi heard that her brother and mother were coming, she calmed down a lot. She helped Tan Yuming sit down on a chair beside her.

Tan Yuming still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, he had to take a gamble. After all, Pei Yanxu was now in the emperor's favor and was a very popular figure. If nothing unexpected happened, after the prince ascended the throne, Pei Yanxu would be able to be appointed prime minister.

Qingyan knelt aside and trembled. She had not expected that Xia Mianwan had found out everything. No matter what the outcome of Pei Yanqi was, her consequences would be terrible.

Qingyan began to regret only then. Why did she let herself be bewitched by Tan Yuming? Pei Yanqi had always treated her well, and the Pei family had a good tradition and was not a family that mistreats their servants. She was so blinded by her own greed that she actually saw through such a betrayal.

Qingyan is different from Pei Yanqi. She has experienced the power of Xia Mianwan. She knows that if Xia Mianwan is determined to drive Pei Yanqi out, no one can save Pei Yanqi.

About three quarters of an hour later, Mrs. Pei and Pei Yanxu arrived in front of the wooden house. Ruzhu had already briefly told Pei Yanxu and Mrs. Pei what had happened in the carriage. Mrs. Pei became flustered when she heard that Xia Mianwan was going to expel Pei Yanqi from the Pei family, but Pei Yanxu just nodded and said nothing.

Mrs. Pei had a bad feeling in her heart, afraid that she could not keep Pei Yanqi, but after all, she was her biological daughter, so she had to try no matter what.

When Xia Mianwan saw Madam Pei and Pei Yanxu coming, she quickly stood up, gave her chair to Madam Pei, and stood with Pei Yanxu.

As soon as Pei Yanqi saw Madam Pei, she cried and threw herself into Madam Pei's arms, "Mother, my sister-in-law wants to kick me out of the Pei family."

The voice was quite sad, and Mrs. Pei was very sad to hear it.

Mrs. Pei also hugged Pei Yanqi and cried, "My daughter!"

"Mother, I just want to choose my own marriage. I have done nothing wrong. Mother, I beg you, please don't send me away." Pei Yanqi cried and begged.

Mrs. Pei was both heartbroken and uneasy. She looked at Pei Yanxu and said, "Yanxu, what do you say?"

Pei Yanxu looked at Pei Yanqi and said, "If you want to marry this man, then leave the Pei family. If you have a clear mind, then continue to return to the Pei family and be the second daughter of the Pei family."

"Mother, mother... I don't want to be separated from Mr. Tan." Pei Yanqi was really sad. She didn't understand why Pei Yan and Xia Mianwan just didn't agree with her marrying Tan Yuming.

Madam Pei sighed and advised: "Aqi, there are so many good men in this world, you don't have to choose this one, let go... okay?"

Pei Yanqi shook her head desperately.

But after crying and making a fuss, there was still no room for change. Pei Yanqi gradually got tired of crying. After thinking for a while, she looked at Tan Yuming again, sighed and said, "Since my elder brother, sister-in-law, and mother are determined not to agree, then drive me out of the Pei family. I will not marry out of the Pei family. I have hands and feet, and I will show you how good the husband I chose is in the future."

Pei Yanqi stood up and walked to Tan Yuming's side. "Mr. Tan, let's go."

Tan Yuming had never expected that this family would actually listen to Madam Pei. He panicked for a moment. He fell to his knees with a plop. "Master Pei, I can't cause discord in your family. This is not what I want. Let's just call it quits with Miss Pei II..."

Pei Yanqi looked at Tan Yuming in shock, "Mr. Tan...you...what did you say?"

Tan Yuming pushed Pei Yanqi away and said, "We are not suitable, and I don't want to cause discord in your family. Our fate has ended. Forget it, just accept your fate."

Xia Mianwan smiled and said, "Mr. Tan, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. You should take Aqi and go..."

"No...no...I can't ask you to separate your flesh and blood because of me." Tan Yuming still looked like he was doing it for Pei Yanqi's good.

Xia Mianwan smiled softly, "How about this, Mr. Tan, I'll give you one chance. If you tell me what's in your heart, I can give you enough silver, and we will take Aqi away, and you can't mention Aqi again from now on. But if you don't tell the truth, then I promise that after you marry Aqi, our Pei family will treat this daughter of the Pei family as gone, and will never do anything bad in your imperial examination, and we will definitely not make things difficult for you."

"How much silver?" Tan Yuming blurted out.

"Five hundred taels of silver." Xia Mianwan mentioned five hundred taels as soon as he opened his mouth.

Pei Yanqi looked at Tan Yuming in a daze. Tan Yuming gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Pei, I hope you will keep your word."

Xia Mianwan waved his hand and asked someone to put five hundred taels of silver aside, "I never brag..."
