The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

Xia Mianwan suddenly stood up and walked towards Jiang. When she reached Jiang, she smiled and said, "What did Madam Wang say? Who... climbed into the bed? Climbed... whose bed?"

Xia Mianwan's tone was ups and downs, and the playful tone could not be hidden.

"Of course..." Jiang looked at Xia Mianwan's playful smile and suddenly realized where she was. She glanced at Zhuang and swallowed the last half of the sentence "the general's bed".

Xia Mianwan would not let her go, "Of course what?"

Jiang was speechless for a moment, then turned around and glared at Madam Sang again.

Jiang coughed lightly, trying to smooth things over, but saw Madam Sang step forward and look at Jiang with burning eyes.

"Madam Wang, although I run a brothel, I don't sell my body. It's fine if you say these things to slander me. This lady has nothing to do with me. Shouldn't you apologize for your hurtful words?"

Jiang sneered, "I don't need a prostitute like you to care about what I want to do, nor do you need a cheap bastard who shamelessly brings his daughter to approach bandits to care."

What Mrs. Jiang said was really too harsh. The other ladies were whispering to each other. This was too disgraceful.

Some ladies were secretly complaining in their hearts that Jiang was a peasant after all and was too rude. It would be better to stay away from such people in the future.

Some people were also saying that Madam Sang was really shameless.

Madam Sang was so angry at Jiang that her face turned pale. She straightened her back and said coldly, "I did do this, but I have a clear conscience. No one else can interfere."

Jiang laughed out loud, "I told you, this guy wants face but the tree wants bark. You, Madam Sang, are really shameless to say that."

Seeing that Madam Sang wanted to say more, Xia Mianwan stopped her.

Ultimately, this incident was caused by her, and everyone else was just a raft to deal with her.

Xia Mianwan turned her head and looked at Zhuang Sasa. "I heard that Madam Zheng was from the Haichen Gang and was the eldest daughter of the Haichen Gang. Madam Zheng's brother would rather die than retreat in order to protect the people of the city, and finally died on the battlefield, right?"

Zhuang Sasa looked at Xia Mianwan solemnly and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Everyone present here is a woman. Let me make it clear. Madam Sang has a clear conscience. What rights do you have to humiliate her? Aristocratic families all value passing on the family line because everyone knows that children are the hope for a country's future and the spark that a country relies on. Before the disaster, Madam Sang would rather be humiliated by the enemy than not save these children, the hope for the future of this country. What rights do you have to be so condescending and point fingers here? Forget about others, Madam Zheng, I have a question. Why would your brother rather die than retreat?" Xia Mianwan's voice was extremely cold and she looked directly at Zhuang Sasa.

For a moment, Zhuang thought of the scene where her brother died in battle.

"Sister, if I don't stand up now, the ones who will die will be Aunt Niu who watched us grow up, the little cripple who grew up with us, and all the women in the city will probably be humiliated. Although we in the Haichen Gang are people of the underworld, we must understand the principles of being a human being."

"Sister, I'm leaving now. I will do my best to prevent these rebels from taking advantage of the opportunity to massacre the city."

Zhuang was silent.

"Madam Wang, you are only good-looking because of your status. Otherwise, you are not even as good as a hair of Madam Sang. Those rescued children are ungrateful and are not worthy of being human! The children are ignorant, and you are also ignorant? As the wife of a magistrate, you cannot distinguish right from wrong, and you are not grateful. How can we, the common people, believe in you?" Xia Mianwan turned around and pointed at Jiang's face, saying word by word.

"As the old saying goes, those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. Why is Han Xin praised for his humiliation? I guess you don't know why you can say that Miss Sang is shameless... Are you worthy of being a human being?"

Jiang Shi didn't know what to say for a moment after being scolded by Xia Mianwan.

Xia Mianwan bowed deeply to Madam Sang again, "Madam Sang is a righteous person. Even if the person being rescued doesn't understand, there are always people who share the same path as you."

After Xia Mianwan finished her ceremony, she glanced around, "Everyone says that actors are heartless, whores are indifferent, and that merchants do not know the hatred of losing their country. Aren't these all slanders against women by men? There are many men who are heartless and ungrateful... unfaithful and unfilial... and lack integrity and shame? Most of the ladies present here know the inside story. Who doesn't know that Madam Sang was humiliated in order to save people? Men don't understand, children don't understand, and don't we women understand too?"

"But...it doesn't matter."

Xia Mianwan laughed sarcastically, "What does it matter whether you understand or not? Since Madam Sang would do this, she doesn't mind what others think."

From the moment Xia Mianwan started talking, Madam Sang was stunned.

With every word Xia Mianwan said, Mrs. Sang's tears of grievance grew more intense.

In fact, Madam Sang had shed tears many times, but only this time, she felt both aggrieved and happy.

Prefect Chen's mother, Old Madam Chen, stood up first and said, "Well said, well said. As Su Zhi's mother, I would also like to thank Madam Sang on behalf of the people of Yanzhou."

As she said this, Mrs. Chen was about to greet Madam Sang.

Madam Sang hurried forward to support Old Madam Chen, "Old Madam, you can't do that."

"You deserve it!" Old Madam Chen held Madam Sang's hand tightly.

Mrs. Yang was also shocked. Xia Mianwan said what she had always wanted to say but had not dared to say.

Zhuang coughed lightly. Xia Mianwan had raised the tone so high that she didn't know what to say. She also felt that Xia Mianwan was right. Is there no man who is unfaithful and ungrateful?

Zhuang stared at Xia Mianwan and sighed softly. Xia Mianwan's personality was very much to her liking. What a pity... what a pity... what a pity... they had different standpoints and could not be friends.

The one who caused the trouble was Jiang, and Xia Mianwan's target was indeed herself, the wife of the major general. This meant that Xia Mianwan had already guessed that this incident and the people were her doing, and she deliberately invited Madam Wang and Madam Sang.

My play hasn't even begun yet and my opponent has already seen through it. What's the point of continuing singing... Forget it... Forget it... I'll look for another opportunity!

"Okay, okay, these are just small matters. Just give me some face and let's have a drink and watch a play together, okay? I heard that the Yanzhou troupe also has a new play called 'Zhegui', how about we watch it?" After all, she had been Madam Zheng for quite some time, so she did have some ability to smooth things over.

Xia Mianwan smiled and pulled Madam Sang towards her seat.

Fortunately, fortunately, Zhuang was not a hopelessly stupid person who was only jealous and crazy. Otherwise, she would have a real headache.
