Chapter 25 The Concubine with Family Property
The next day, Qi Yunran had dinner with Xiao Jingxuan and then had him review the Three Character Classic again.

Seeing that he was being carried away, they prepared to go and negotiate with Pei Yuanjun.

But as soon as she stepped out the door, she was stopped by someone.

His gaze fell on the person before him, dressed in a slightly worn silk dress. A festive red flower adorned her hair, and her face was powdered. She had the features of a middle-aged woman, slightly plump. She beamed with joy as she looked at Qi Yunran.

Qi Yunran searched the original owner's memories but had never seen this person before: "Who are you looking for?"

While Qi Yunran was sizing up Zhang the matchmaker, Zhang the matchmaker was also sizing her up!
Her eyes were full of criticism. She wondered why the eldest son of the Pei family had taken a liking to such a dark and thin girl.

Even though I told him about the beautiful woman, he insisted that he already had a wife.

She then said that she would be willing to let him take a concubine, but he said that he would agree as long as his wife agreed to let him take a concubine.

That's how she came to find us.

She'd played matchmaker all over the surrounding villages, but she'd never met anyone as stubborn as Pei's eldest son. He wouldn't even accept a free beauty, especially one who came with her own fortune.

"Oh my, you must be Miss Qi Yunran!"

"busy?"

"Isn't it something that needs to be said? Why don't we go inside and talk?"

I heard that she was kicked out by Pei's eldest son's mother. I don't know what she was thinking? Since she cares about him now that he's back, why didn't she take him back?

"Speak quickly if you have something to say. I have other things to do today."

"Then I'll tell you the truth: your husband says he needs your consent to take a concubine?"

"Stop. If you want to discuss Pei Yuanjun's affairs, go find him. Don't bother me. I have nothing to do with him."

"Sigh! Why are you so stubborn, girl? If it had nothing to do with you, why would Pei's eldest son say that taking a concubine requires your consent?"

"Did he say that?"

"That's right! Otherwise, why would I come looking for you?" "Then I'll go settle the score with him!" Qi Yunran was completely enraged. Now she finally understood why so many women had come looking for her yesterday.

Did he say this to every woman who went to him?
They marched down the mountain with great momentum, and the villagers who were planting in spring followed to watch the spectacle.

"Oh! Girl! Don't be impulsive. Don't you think about Pei's status now? When he returns to the capital, won't he have three wives and four concubines? Besides, he is a kind and righteous man, and he wants to marry you as his principal wife. You should be grateful. He doesn't forget his roots even after becoming rich and powerful. What's wrong with taking a concubine? It won't affect your status as the principal wife."

The villagers approached and realized it was Zhang the matchmaker. After hearing what she and Qi Yunran were saying, they also felt that what she said made sense.

They also chimed in, "Yes, Yunran! You should be grateful that Dalang treats you this way."

Qi Yunran was furious.

They remained silent the whole way, but when they arrived at the Pei family's residence in a huff, they saw Pei Yuanjun looking ahead outside the gate as if waiting for someone.

Qi Yunran strode over and roared angrily, "Pei! Yuan! Jun!"

Pei Yuanjun turned around, his handsome features showing some surprise when he saw her: "Yun Ran, you've come?"

"What are you pretending for? You're going to take a concubine, when are you going to give me the divorce papers?"

The villagers were in an uproar. Qi Yunran had just asked Pei's eldest son for a letter of divorce?

A dark glint flashed in Pei Yuanjun's eyes, giving off a sharp and oppressive feeling, before returning to normal in a moment.

"My lady, stop joking. Our marriage is officially registered in the government documents."

"Then write me a letter of divorce!"

"My wife, I haven't done anything wrong, why should I write a letter of divorce?" Pei Yuanjun said kindly, showing his doting affection for her.

Then, looking at the villagers, he said, "Besides, my wife took care of my parents at home. When I came home, my parents were in good health and even weighed more than when I left, but my wife had lost so much weight. I want to make it up to her."
