The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Pei Yanqi was not a fool, she was just blinded by love. In this situation, she knew that Tan Yuming wanted money. Pei Yanqi was a little sad. She met such a man when she fell in love for the first time. Why...

Pei Yanqi stared blankly at Tan Yuming going to get the silver, and then watched Tan Yuming leave without looking back. Her heart seemed to be crushed into pieces.

Xia Mianwan was too lazy to pay attention to Pei Yanqi. She said to Ruzhu, "Find someone to follow Tan Yuming and take him to the government office at night. Then accuse him of extorting money from the Pei Mansion."

Pei Yanqi really didn't understand why Xia Mianwan gave the money and sent Tan Yuming to the police. She asked, "Why did you send him to the police?"

"This kind of man is the most hateful. This kind of man has nothing else in his heart except his own money and future. He even harms other people's lives for his own goals. What's wrong, second sister, you don't think that your life is the only life in this world and your life is valuable, right?" Xia Mianwan said coldly.

Pei Yanqi's heart was filled with grief. She didn't understand what Xia Mianwan was talking about. "What do you mean he only cares about his own future? He had no choice. If it weren't for you...if you hadn't insisted on him choosing, we could have been fine. We could have been happy."

Pei Yanxu finally understood why his wife looked so unhappy. Anyone would look unhappy in her situation.

Madam Pei slapped Pei Yanqi on the face, "How do you talk to your sister-in-law? Do you have any manners?"

Pei Yanqi staggered after being beaten, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, is she worthy of being my sister-in-law?"

Pei Yanxu was so angry that he stretched out his hand, but was held down by Xia Mianwan.

After beating Pei Yanqi, Madam Pei looked at Xia Mianwan with some sadness and said, "Mianwan, go and report to the authorities. If that person is talking nonsense, Aqi's reputation will be ruined... Can we just let it go?"

Xia Mianwan sighed and said, "Mother is confused. How can she give money to such a person and then let him cheat others? As for Ah Qi's reputation, she doesn't care about it herself, so why should others be so anxious?"

Pei Yanqi accepted her fate in her heart, but she also hated Xia Mianwan. Her eyes were full of hatred. She hated Xia Mianwan for ruining her good marriage.

Mrs. Pei saw Pei Yanqi's eyes and felt a little anxious. Her daughter hated her sister-in-law, but this time it was clear that her daughter had gone too far. Besides, her son knew her well. Pei Yanxu's face was not looking good at the moment.

Xia Mianwan had Pei Yanqi pulled up. "Aqi, everything I said is true. Since you are stubborn, I can't say much. If you marry me off, you will harm others. Your elder brother is in a high position, and he can't keep you as a mine by his side. You are different from Pei Ying. Pei Ying does have a home in her hometown, so if I send her back, she still has a place to go, but you... Let me think about it. Since you only care about others and your own honor and disgrace, you should leave the house if you are so selfish."

Pei Yanqi and Mrs. Pei both looked at Xia Mianwan in shock.

"Are you going to kick me out of the house?" Pei Yanqi asked in disbelief.

Xia Mianwan nodded, "Yes, there is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. You hate me and the Pei family so much in your heart, how could I be so foolish as to leave you in the Pei Mansion and give you the opportunity to harm me or the Pei Mansion."

Xia Mianwan said these words to Pei Yanqi and also to Mrs. Pei.

"Where are you going to let a girl like her live?" Mrs. Pei's tone was filled with a hint of complaint.

Pei Yanxu said coldly: "I think she is very capable, why can't she live somewhere else? I have spoiled her all these years and she has become a bad person. She hates her sister-in-law so much and doesn't even have the slightest gratitude. How dare she cry to her mother?"

Pei Yanxu has always been nice to his younger brothers and sisters since they were young, but their recent behavior has really saddened him.

Pei Yanqi remained silent, feeling resentful.

Xia Mianwan thought for a moment and said, "Man Yue Workshop has a family courtyard. Most of them have moved out this year. There should be another small courtyard. You can live in that courtyard first. As for what you have left at home, pack it up today and take it out tomorrow. In addition, the mansion will give you another 100 taels of silver. If you spend it alone, it can last for a long time, but not for a lifetime. If you want to make money, you can apply for a job in Manyue Workshop. There are many types of jobs there. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will not starve to death. In view of this, I will also settle the high-interest money you owe outside for you."

Pei Yanqi and Madam Pei looked at Xia Mianwan in shock again, "Usury?"

Xia Mianwan said calmly, "Mother, my second sister is very brave. She even borrowed money from the pawnbroker to give to Tan Yuming."

Pei Yanqi felt somewhat ashamed, but Madam Pei was truly sad. She had not understood just now why her daughter-in-law had to expel her daughter from the Pei family, but now she really understood that her daughter-in-law clearly had good intentions.

Otherwise, even if Pei Yanqi was kept in the Pei Mansion, she would be nothing more than a useless person, and a useless person with evil intentions. Mrs. Pei no longer felt distressed. She wiped her tears and said, "Aqi, you are very good and very brave. Your mother has indulged you all these years. In this case... you should go out and live alone."

Mrs. Pei's voice was full of disappointment and sadness.

Pei Yanqi didn't think she was wrong. She just thought her elder brother was powerful. Even if Tan Yuming was a loser, it didn't matter. As long as her elder brother helped, any loser could be helped. What's more, it was just a matter of spending some money. It was not like her family couldn't afford it. She felt that she was different from the young lady of the Liu family. The young lady of the Liu family was just a young lady of a landlord's family, while she was the sister of the current prince's tutor. The two families had different strengths, so the fact that the young lady of the Liu family had such a result did not mean that she would have such a result. Even though she knew in her heart that there was something wrong with Tan Yuming.

Even now, Pei Yanqi still thinks so. She blames the heavens, the earth, Xia Mianwan, and the Pei family, but she has never blamed herself. She doesn't think she did anything wrong.

"Go out if you want to. I'm going out today, and you don't have to ask me to come back home someday!" Pei Yanqi said hatefully.

Xia Mianwan was too lazy to listen to Pei Yanqi's harsh words anymore. This girl was probably useless... Thinking of this, Xia Mianwan turned around and left the wooden house. She didn't want to waste any more words with Pei Yanqi.

Pei Yanxu was also feeling a little tired, so he followed Xia Mianwan out.
