Qin Wan laughed dumbly. "You were the one who stopped me. If you hadn't stopped me, we wouldn't have met today. Secondly, are you sure you want to argue with me on the street? I'm the wife of the Marquis's mansion, and you haven't even entered the mansion. Your status is unknown, not even a concubine. If we start arguing, I can lose my face, what about you?"
Bai Wanyi's eyes widened. She didn't expect that such a conservative and boring woman would actually say such shameless words!
Yes, Lu Yan said that Qin Wan was very naughty in the past, and now she is just wearing the mask of the Marquis’ wife to hide her true side.
However, she could be shameless, but Bai Wanyi could not. If she entered the palace as a concubine, the quarrel in the street today would become a black spot for others to attack her in the future.
If she could not enter the palace as a concubine and marry into the Lu family as a concubine, how would she control herself if the news of Bai Wanyi's humiliating quarrel with Qin Wan in the street got back to her?
In a few breaths, Bai Wanyi had weighed the pros and cons and immediately turned and walked into the teahouse: "Let's go to a private room!"
The waiter was about to say no, but he saw Qin Wan following Bai Wanyi in from the corner of his eye and immediately led the way: "Please follow me."
The two of them entered the private room one after the other and sat down. The waiter wanted to ask what kind of tea they wanted, but after meeting Qin Wan's gaze, he immediately took his leave silently and brought in tea and snacks a moment later.
Qin Wan picked up the tea, blew away the foam, and took a sip. "Why did you call me here to talk about this?"
Bai Wanyi admired the large blue and white porcelain vat in the corner. It would be a waste to keep it here to feed goldfish. "What are we supposed to talk about? What else can we talk about besides men?"
Bai Wanyi turned to look at Qin Wan. She was a little surprised not to see surprise on her face. She finally looked at Qin Wan straight in the eye. She turned around and sat at the table, fiddling with the lid of her teacup and scratching the edge. "Brother Yan, you've been with me at the border for eight years. The relationship has long been deeply rooted. Why are you rushing to be my mistress?"
"What's more, it was your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. You barely even met before the marriage, right? My brother Yan doesn't love you either, so why are you clinging to someone who doesn't love you? Oh, I know you're going to say you filed for a divorce, but the Marquis' Mansion won't allow it?"
"Who doesn't know that you're playing hard to get? If you ask me, you should divorce him sooner rather than later so you can find your next target. Otherwise, you'll waste your youth in this mansion, watching me and Brother Yan happily enjoying each other's company while you live a life of widowhood. How pitiful is that?"
Qin Wan had never heard Bai Wanyi's remarks like this in her previous life. The two of them fought behind the scenes and maintained a facade of peace on the surface. They had never spoken to each other face to face like this.
She looked at Bai Wanyi seriously, not hiding her curiosity at all. "A woman who divorces and returns home will not only damage her own reputation, but also the reputation of her parents and in-laws. I really want a divorce, but it involves many aspects, and it won't be done overnight."
Bai Wanyi didn't believe her: "Isn't a divorce just a piece of paper? Just let Brother Yan sign it. Why involve so many aspects? I think it's just an excuse for you to delay!"
"In love, those who are not loved are outsiders. Why do you want to come between me and Brother Yan? Is it glorious to be a mistress?"
"Don't be so foolish as to try every trick in the book to win Brother Yan's attention. Our love is beyond your reach! Besides, even if you win her over, so what? If I can earn her a position as a co-wife with my merits, I can use another merit to directly ask His Majesty to grant her a marriage."
"Besides, Brother Yan is even going to ask for an imperial decree for me. We are equals, and neither of us is more noble than the other! Humph!"
Qin Wan looked at Bai Wanyi's arrogant and complacent look, and did not doubt Bai Wanyi's words at all.
In the previous life, Lu Yan asked for an imperial decree for Bai Wanyi, which gave her more capital to travel around, make friends, and fight with him.
Qin Wan lowered her eyes, hiding the hatred in them. "If you have such confidence, whether I divorce you or not will not affect your life, so why come to talk to me?"
Bai Wanyi was choked by her, and after a long while he squeezed out four words: "Sharp-tongued!"
"No match for Miss Bai." Qin Wan raised her teacup slightly towards Bai Wanyi, her eyes showing no disdain. "It's okay to ask for an imperial decree. As long as I don't agree, you can't enter the Lu family. Even if you are granted an imperial decree, you are just a concubine, worse than a concubine."
Bai Wanyi was furious and said, "You're just making excuses! Brother Yan doesn't really love you. What's the point of you clinging to such an empty reputation?"
Qin Wan shook her head and said with a smile, "You're wrong. I'm not guarding anyone, I'm guarding my family and myself."
"Yourself?" Bai Wanyi didn't understand, but she didn't want to understand. "I think you just want to cling to Brother Yan and won't let go. What high-sounding excuses do you have? What does your family have to do with your marriage? If you leave, you have money and people around you. You can go to the ends of the earth, right?"
"Go far away. If you want a man, then find a young, fresh and obedient one. Isn't it better than staying with a man like this who has me in his heart?"
? !
Qin Wan's eyes widened. It was the first time in her two lives that she had heard such an argument!
She opened her mouth wide and then burst out laughing. She had never seen through Bai Wanyi in her previous life, but now his true nature was revealed in just a few words.
It turns out that it wasn't that I had never seen through her, but that she was just that simple. All her actions were incompatible with this world, so I thought I had never seen through her.
She shouldn't be from this world, right?
If she could be reborn, then where was she originally from?
But these are no longer important.
Qin Wan put down her teacup and stood up to walk out. "You're not me. You don't understand the sorrow and shackles of being a woman in a large family, so I don't blame you for what you did today. If you really want to enter the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, then convince Lu Yan to agree to a divorce. Then, you will be the Marquis's legal wife. Why would you compete with me, the original wife, for a man?"
Bai Wanyi, whose parents are both deceased, is most annoyed by people calling her uneducated. Suspecting Qin Wan of mocking her, she suddenly feels a surge of anger. Without a second thought, she rushes over, reaches out and pushes Qin Wan away: "You're uneducated! I'm just an orphan, but I've been studying for years! I'm more knowledgeable than you!"
Qin Wan seemed to have eyes behind her. She immediately turned around and grabbed Bai Wanyi's wrist, smiling calmly: "Bai, education is not reflected in reading books. I can now confirm that you have read so many books that you have lost them."
"you!"
Bai Wanyi really didn't expect that Qin Wan, a lady from a noble family, would be so sharp-tongued and difficult to control. She struggled hard to pull her hand back, but unexpectedly Qin Wan suddenly let go of her hand.
