To say that Yuan Miaoyi's premonition about the matter was indeed accurate, she had just finished talking to Yu Fengshu during the day, had dinner at her parents' house in the evening, and had just returned to the house with Xiao Yunyue when she heard from Aunt Cui that the female official next to the eldest princess had come to look for her. She did.

"Little Marquis, Madam." Qiu Ci didn't show any anxiety on her face, but she spoke much faster than usual: "Your Highness, please come over."

Xiao Yunyue and Yuan Miaoyi looked at each other. It happened that Yuan Miaoyi had not yet removed the hairpin ring. From the Marquis's Mansion to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, just walk directly through the corridor connecting the two mansions. So Xiao Yunyue immediately replied: "Go back to your mother. We’ll go over there.”

Xiao Yinghuai went to Dongshan Camp today for business and was not at home at the moment.

As soon as the couple walked outside the eldest princess' house, they heard a heavy slam on the table from inside.

Xiao Yunyue had never seen her mother lose such a temper. Yuan Miaoyi slightly lifted the hem of her skirt and quickened her pace.

Qiu Ci opened the door for them, Yuan Miaoyi turned around the screen, and saw a few pages of letter paper in the hands of the eldest princess. Her face was filled with anger, and she looked really angry.

Yuan Miaoyi quickly stepped forward and asked softly: "Mother, what's wrong?"

When the eldest princess saw Yuan Miaoyi coming, her expression softened slightly. She asked the maid to serve tea to the young marquis and his wife, and asked Qiu Ci to hand the letter paper at hand to Yuan Miaoyi.

"The Duan family really bullies people too much." The eldest princess's chest calmed down a little now, but her face was still as heavy as a drop of water: "Do you really think that the Xiao family is easy to bully?"

When Yuan Miaoyi heard about the Duan family, she was slightly shocked. The aunt in the third room of the Xiao family had a husband whose surname was Duan.

She took the letter from Qiuci's hand and read it at a glance, roughly knowing what happened.

After Yuan Miaoyi read it, she frowned. She handed the letter to Xiao Yunyue who was beside her, then turned to the eldest princess and asked: "Mother, the Duan family wants to divorce their wife. This is not a trivial matter. The meaning of the letter is still there. The Duan family was at fault first, and if Third Aunt could endure it until now before writing to the capital, she must be beyond endurance."

Divorce and divorce are of different natures. The people of Dayan are open and the couple cannot live together, so reconciliation and divorce are common.

After the divorce, the marriage between a man and a woman has nothing to do with it, and no one will say anything.

But if she is abandoned by her husband's family, it means that there is a problem with the woman's character. To put it more seriously, the tutor of the woman's natal family will be brought up for criticism.

The eldest princess nodded and said to Yuan Miaoyi: "You haven't met your third aunt yet, so you don't know. Your third aunt is the most gentle and kind person. And your cousin Liuhua, who usually talks like She is soft-spoken and soft-spoken. Whenever there are any disputes between the cousins ​​during the New Year and festivals, she always backs off first. She is a very tolerant and tolerant person."

Just seeing that the third room of the Xiao family is backed by a big tree like the Duke's Mansion, and has been doing business in Qingzhou for so many years, and has never been known as a bully, it can be seen that this family is not domineering.

It's just that the two parties have separated after all, and Sanfang has not seen frequent exchanges with Beijing in recent years. Otherwise, how could the Duan family have such courage.

The eldest princess then sighed and said: "Your cousin is too soft-tempered. I originally wanted to arrange a marriage for her in Beijing, but your third aunt was reluctant to let her marry far away, so it didn't happen."

With the support of the eldest princess in the capital, there will always be a stable and prosperous life. It's just human nature for a mother to be reluctant to let her only daughter marry far away.

She originally thought that she would marry in Qingzhou, with her parents and brothers watching nearby. Even if she had a softer temper, she would not suffer much, so the eldest princess felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, the letter from Qingzhou just mentioned that my uncle got a concubine that he liked very much. She seemed to be a relative of Mrs. Duan's natal family, so Mrs. Duan naturally helped her family.

This concubine usually relies on the favor of the master and Mrs. Duan's favoritism to bully the mistress. Even the power of the middle feeder is controlled by this concubine.

Xiao Liuhua always tolerated and made concessions all day long. On the one hand, he was afraid of worrying his parents, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that it would be said outside that the girls of the Xiao family did not know how to manage the house.

Until a month ago, the concubine was confusing right and wrong in front of the master again like before. Xiao Liuhua didn't give in at all this time for some reason. There was a dispute between the couple, and Mr. Duan pushed his wife in anger. Unexpectedly, Xiao Liuhua was already two months pregnant at this time. With such a push, the child fell out. The mother's body was damaged and her life was almost lost.

The Xiao family didn't know until things got serious. After bringing their daughter back, they went to the Duan family to ask for an explanation. However, the Duan family changed the subject and said that Xiao Liuhua was jealous and that the accident happened because he was jealous that the master loved his concubine.

Not only did he not apologize, but he even wanted to divorce his wife on the charge of being jealous.

The third lady is not willing to do anything now. On one side is her daughter, who has managed to survive after a miscarriage and is still weak, and on the other is the troublesome Duan family. The third lady really can't take care of it, otherwise she wouldn't even have such a major event as Xiao Yunyue's marriage. Come.

After the eldest princess saw what happened, she was so angry that her chest hurt.

After Xiao Yunyue read the letter, he comforted his mother and said, "Don't be angry, mother. This matter is just because the Duan family used to be a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the threshold is higher than that of the third uncle who is engaged in business. Third Aunt Since the letter came, I think I wanted to use the background of Jingzhong."

Yuan Miaoyi was very clear about these methods of the inner house. Divorcing his wife was not that simple, and whether he was good or not was not something the Duan family could just say.

In her opinion, this matter was just because the Duan family saw that the Xiao family had split up, and the third family was not close to the capital, so they dared to act like this. As long as the capital comes to put pressure, the matter can be solved in an instant.

In Yuan Miaoyi's view, Sanfang's idea was very simple. Originally, she wanted to stay together as a couple and didn't want to cause trouble in Beijing and embarrass both families in the end.

It's just that the Duan family is making trouble, and the third room wants to have a good time together, but they misunderstand that they are weak and can be bullied. The Duan family insisted on divorcing his wife, so the third lady couldn't bear it and wrote a letter to Beijing.

However, it was difficult for the eldest princess to personally come forward in this matter. Firstly, the eldest princess was born in the royal family and had a high status, so she could not leave the capital casually.

Secondly, the eldest princess came forward in person. She was afraid that even if the matter was resolved, people would inevitably talk about it. It was the Xiao family's use of power to bully others, and it was not a good thing after all.

Yuan Miaoyi pondered for a while and said: "Why don't I go to Qingzhou to have a look, and I'll just meet the third aunt. The letter is quite brief, so I can go and see with my own eyes to know how to solve this matter satisfactorily."

The best solution is for Yuan Miaoyi to come forward. Although she is a junior, she is a county lady personally granted by the imperial court. According to the imperial decree, her rank is two or three levels higher than that of Mrs. Duan.

Secondly, Yuan Miaoyi's mother was born in the Pei family in Hedong. The Duan family always regarded themselves as a famous family in Jiangnan. However, in terms of the family's ranking at that time, the Duan family could not even carry shoes for the Pei family. In comparison, this was inferior. They were at both ends.

Moreover, although Yuan Miaoyi was young, she acted calmly but without losing any control. The eldest princess couldn't be more at ease with her.

There was just one thing. The eldest princess hesitated and said, "You and Yunyue are still newlyweds. Besides, in a few days it's time for you to go back to your parents' home to live opposite each other."

Yuan Miaoyi smiled softly and said: "My natal family is in the middle of the capital. It doesn't matter if I come back from Qingzhou and stay with my natal family for a few days. If the matter is urgent, follow the authority. My brother will understand."

The eldest princess thought about it and still felt a little sorry for Yuan Miaoyi, so she decided: "In that case, let Yunyue accompany you to Qingzhou. After the matter is done, it won't be too late for you to play outside for a few more days before returning to the capital. I'll tell you in the palace."

Xiao Yunyue originally planned to accompany Yuan Miaoyi, but only a few days after getting married, he couldn't bear to leave his wife's side.

At this time, the eldest princess went to tell the palace in person that the palace would definitely agree. Yuan Miaoyi said: "In that case, thank you mother. Leave this matter to me. Just don't worry."

Yuan Miaoyi has a noble status and cannot do anything that would lower her status such as bullying others. But if she had to use her power to overwhelm others, she didn't know how to do it.

When the matter has reached this point, it is not just a matter for Sanfang and his family. Yuan Miaoyi already understands what the eldest princess means. Not everyone can bully the daughter of the Xiao family.
