The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Wine is not very popular in Yanzhou, but Xia Mianwan has thought about it and believes that the stock she has now is enough to make a name for herself.

As for this wine, we have to rely on Mr. Yang's help.

Hold a poetry and wine party, invite some scholars to write poetry and taste wine, wouldn't that increase your reputation?

This is just one of the reasons. Limited sales is certainly a good gimmick, and the amount of wine brewed during summer hibernation is not particularly large.

Once our reputation spreads, the wild grapes in the mountains should be ripe. Then we can hire some workers to move the vines to the mountains and take good care of them. That way we won't have to worry about a shortage of supply.

So, in the days that followed, Xia Mianwan was busy doing these things.

Just as he finished his work, he saw a group of people gathered at the gate of his house.

Xia Mianwan walked forward curiously, but was stopped by a woman, "Mianwan, it really is you Mianwan, my poor daughter."

The visitor shed tears sadly as he spoke. When Xia Mianwan saw this scene, he had some guesses in his mind, "Come in with me."

Xia Mianwan didn't want to be treated as a storyteller outside, so he welcomed the person in.

After serving the tea, Xia Mianwan sighed and looked at the person who came.

The person who came should be Xia Mianwan's adopted mother. She shouldn't have been so cold. However, when she was exiled, the Xia family clearly said that they would rather have a corpse than a divorced woman. She had no choice but to follow the Zheng family into exile. If the Xia family had loved their daughter a little, she wouldn't have been exiled to Yanzhou.

Coming over at this moment, Xia Mianwan sneered, probably because the Zheng family was rehabilitated.

Seeing Xia Mianwan like this, Madam Xia sighed with a little sadness on her face, "Mianwan, are you still unwilling to call me mother?"

Xia Mianwan looked at Madam Xia and said indifferently, "What you said is ridiculous. You have completely forgotten what you said."

Madam Xia finally shed a few tears, "Mianwan, you are my child who I carried for ten months, how can I not love you. The general's mansion is suspected of treason, and even if we have the courage, we dare not take you back. Mother not only has you, but also your eldest brother, second brother, sister and younger brother. How can I only care about you and completely ignore others?"

Xia Mianwan was a little bored. "Since you have already made your choice, why are you looking for me, a divorced woman, now?"

Madam Xia wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "I am here to make the decision for you. The Zheng family is too bullying. You have been married into the Zheng family for many years, giving birth to children for the Zheng family, serving the elders, taking care of the children, and even taking care of the Zheng family all the way to exile. This Zheng Xiaoyun is really a piece of shit. He actually dared to marry someone else. It's really unreasonable! You are also a fool. How can you divorce just like that?"

Xia Mianwan smiled sarcastically, "So, what do you do? When the Zheng family lost power, you didn't dare to take a chance. Now that the Zheng family is in power, what do you do?"

Mrs. Xia was a little angry when she saw Xia Mianwan's bad attitude. She had been so humble, but why did this daughter seem to be untameable and had such a cold attitude? Her tone became stiff.

"Mianwan, is this how you talk to your mother?"

Xia Mianwan immediately put on a smiling face again, "What's wrong? I'm not a corpse now, are you going to recognize me again? You guys are acting so inconsistently, I really don't know what you are going to do."

Madam Xia was choked by Xia Mianwan's words, then she thought of Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er, and said, "I heard that the child came with you, which is true. It is more or less a guarantee for you. If they dare not recognize Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er, you can file a complaint with the emperor."

"Complain to the Emperor?" Xia Mianwan asked loudly.

Madam Xia nodded solemnly, "Yes, Mianwan, I have discussed this with your father and brothers. If you file a complaint with the emperor, you will definitely win. At the very least, you can become a co-wife."

Xia Mianwan looked at Madam Xia's sincere love for her daughter and couldn't help laughing: "Oh? What if the Zheng family would rather die than obey?"

Madam Xia said with a cruel heart: "At most, she will be the elder and you will be the younger. Zheng Xiaoyun has already wronged you. You can live a good life in the backyard by relying on his guilt in the future."

Xia Mianwan thought that the Xia family was really interesting. Instead of having a divorced wife, they would rather have a daughter as a concubine. It was really difficult for these face-saving Xia family members to take advantage of the Zheng family.

Xia Mianwan sneered and said, "You brought up this too. Please go back."

When Mrs. Xia saw that Xia Mianwan was about to send the guest away, she was very puzzled. Why was he sending the guest away at such a good time?

Seeing that Madam Xia was still standing there, Xia Mianwan stood up and said, "Please go back. I need to rest."

Seeing Xia Mianwan like this, Madam Xia quickly asked, "Mianwan, what do you think? When are you going to file a complaint with the emperor?"

Xia Mianwan looked at Madam Xia with some confusion, "How can you be the mistress of the house for so long without being divorced if you are so bad at reading people's expressions?"

Mrs. Xia was furious when she heard this, "Is this the way you talk to your mother?"

Xia Mianwan was amazed. Where on earth did this stepmother get such a nerve? Xia Mianwan had seen a lot of things in recent days, but she was the first one to be as shameless as the Xia family.

"Since the Xia family has already made the choice to watch her die without helping, they should stop doing such shameless things now. How can you be qualified to be my mother? Do you have any love for your daughter? If you want to take her away so much, why don't you go and file a complaint yourself? Let me think about it, if I don't go myself, you can't do anything..."

Xia Mianwan spoke in a strange way, which really made Mrs. Xia very angry.

"Are you going to offend the entire Xia family? After you offend the Xia family, no one will support you anymore. A woman without a mother's family will be bullied if she remarries." Mrs. Xia said seriously.

"Tsk, you didn't care about me when I didn't offend my family, so what are you talking about now?" Xia Mianwan was too lazy to argue anymore, so she stood up and opened the door, as if she was seeing someone off.

Mrs. Xia was so angry at Xia Mianwan that she fell backwards. "You are totally out of your mind. I didn't know you could be so stupid and rude!"

After saying this, Madam Xia left with her maid.

Xia Mianwan looked at Mrs. Xia's leaving back and fell into deep thought. Someone from the Xia family actually came. It seemed that she had to go and find out what was happening in Beijing.
