Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

Mrs. Zhong's hands were shaking. The woman smiled, and when she smiled she looked even more like Li.

She remained motionless.

Li had children, so is she still alive?

Did she go to Pingyang Prefecture?

Her wet nurse was from Pingyang Prefecture. She sent people to check several times, but did not see Li.

Mrs. Zhong returned to the mansion and sent people to investigate the Mo family to find out why they had contact with the Wang family.

She didn't know that while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.

Someone not far behind her was also staring at Nie Chengping and his sister with astonishment in his eyes.

After Madam Zhong's carriage left, the man quietly hurried back to the Hanlin Mansion to report to Madam Zhong.

Mrs. Zhong Hanlin was just as Mrs. Zhong had thought. She got married to her cousin and married into the Zhong family as she wished, but she lived a very depressed life.

Her cousin was not as affectionate towards her as outsiders said, and the relationship between him and his wife was very cold.

After she gave birth to her third daughter, the couple continued to sleep in separate rooms.

She later speculated that her cousin slept with her just to have an heir, and after she gave birth to three daughters, her cousin no longer expected her to have a son.

Once she overheard her mother-in-law scolding her cousin, "Do you deserve a son?"

She and her sister-in-law conspired to adopt the second son of the second wife. Since she couldn't give birth, she had to let her cousin have a son.

Mrs. Zhong believed that all this was caused by her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law didn't let her clean the house and kept all the furnishings from when Li was alive. Her mother-in-law let her and her cousin see those things, which touched their hearts.

The husband didn't want to see anything left by Li, so he didn't want to enter the yard.

She has been waiting, waiting for her mother-in-law to pass away. She wants to throw out all the things in the house, move to another yard, sell all the people who used to serve Li, and live a comfortable life.

She is the mistress of the Zhong family and the wife of Hanlin. She wants to leave all the property of Hanlin Mansion to her three daughters.

However, her mother-in-law became more and more energetic as she grew older. She lived in her mother-in-law's shadow all day long, feeling terrified and almost going crazy.

She is fifty years old and is often scolded by her mother-in-law, so she has to pretend to be sick and avoid going out for social events.

What she feared most was that her mother-in-law would ask her to speak up when there were guests at home, because her mother-in-law would always find some fault with her and scold her in front of the guests.

When her youngest daughter fell in love with a man, her mother-in-law scolded her in front of her, saying that her daughter was really well-educated. She had not learned anything else, but this was exactly the same as what her mother learned.

Her daughter didn't know about her affairs, but her mother-in-law exposed the bloody secret with just one sentence, making her feel ashamed in front of her daughter.

Mrs. Zhong knew that her mother-in-law hated her because Li's mother was her mother-in-law's best friend, and Mrs. Li refused to see her mother-in-law before her death.

But how innocent is she?

Li does not please her husband. If it were not for her mother-in-law's interference, she should be the original wife.

The mother-in-law and the great-grandmother-in-law fought openly and secretly, allowing Li to take her position as the original wife and become her concubine.

No other lady in any other mansion would perform the concubine ceremony to Li's tablet every New Year like she did. Her mother-in-law would slap her in the face every year, even disregarding her own son's feelings.

The mother-in-law blames everything on her, so she is the most innocent, okay?

After Li got married, her mother-in-law wanted to kick her out. She pretended to be sick. Not just pretending to be sick, she was really sick. She stayed in the yard in thin clothes for half the night. The Hanlin Mansion couldn't kick out a patient, right?

The more the mother-in-law acted like this, the less close my cousin was to Li and the more he sympathized with her. She had been ill for three years and Li had no children. It was thought that Li had some ambition and left on her own.

Mrs. Zhong thought that she would live a loving life with her cousin after marrying him, but Li's departure made her mother-in-law vent her anger on her. Li left, but everything she left behind remained in the mansion like a ghost, so her cousin treated her coldly.

This is not what she wants.

What she wanted was for the Zhong family to belong to her, for her cousin to be devoted to her, and for her to be the mistress of the Zhong family in the future.

Mrs. Zhong has focused all her attention on her mother-in-law for so many years. Recently, seeing that her mother-in-law was uneasy, she did not bother her and thought it was time for her mother-in-law to leave.

She was secretly happy that she had finally made it.

But my mother-in-law is very energetic and often goes out.

Mrs. Zhong sent someone to keep an eye on it, and the nanny told her that her mother-in-law had been waiting at the farm where Mrs. Xue Si came with her dowry for the whole morning, and saw a man and a woman leaving.

The man was in his early thirties and looked like the master, while the woman was a few years younger and looked like Li.

Mrs. Zhong was shocked.

Is Li still alive?

If she remarries while she's still alive, how could she give birth to a son who looks like the master?

Mrs. Zhong thought that Li was pregnant when she left?

Haha!

Her mother-in-law said that she was unfaithful and seduced her cousin. What about Li?

Li eloped with someone while she was pregnant. If this matter were to be exposed, how would the Li family and the Li Grand Secretary's Mansion deal with it?

The mother-in-law wanted to recognize her grandson, so she did. She also wanted her grandson and granddaughter-in-law to live the same life as she did, which was like a year every day.

She wanted to let everyone in the capital know that Zhong Hanlin's original wife, the legitimate daughter of Li Daxueshi, who was pregnant with the blood of the Hanlin family, eloped with a wild man.

My mother-in-law said she was shameless, so she will let all of you see who is shameless!

Her mother-in-law openly and secretly said that she was unfilial, so she acted like a filial daughter-in-law, brought back the legitimate son from her original wife, and made the two sons of the Zhong family turn against each other.

The more Mrs. Zhong thought about it, the more excited she became. However, she couldn't act rashly. She had to find out who Li remarried first. Also, her mother-in-law was holding the dowry, so she had to find a way to divide her mother-in-law's dowry among her three daughters.

My mother-in-law is over seventy years old. It would be best if she gets angry to death this time. So what if the eldest grandson recognizes her?

Now that her mother-in-law is gone, she is the mistress of the house and can do whatever she wants. Isn't this what she learned from her mother-in-law?

At the He family, Mo Chenxi sent Mother Wang back to the Mo family's ancestral home to tell his father that Wang Dongjia had moved out.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mo Yuanji came back and He Wenyan also returned to Tongzhou. Mo Chenxi did not tell him that Wang Dongjia had moved to the house that Mrs. Xue Si had given as a dowry, so as to prevent him from thinking that he had met a wealthy family and had any ideas.

The Mo family invited guests, and Mo Chenxi went back to her parents' home to cook. This time she brought He Jingyi with her, wanting her to get to know Wang Yuzhen better.

She is not a fool who is so arrogant as to look down on the powerful and wealthy.

People treated her equally and called her Sister Mo, so she got along with them naturally.

Mo Yuanji was not very surprised that Wang Dongjia moved into the house that Xue Si's wife came with as a dowry, as he had always thought that Wang Dongjia had a relationship with the Xue family.

Mo Xinzhi looked at Wang Jingye several times. Wang Jingye could guess what he was thinking. It must be that you really have a relationship with General Xue’s Mansion.

Old Mrs. Mo was nervous this time. She had always thought that Mrs. Wang came from a poor family, but it turned out that she was Mrs. Xue Si's senior sister.

Mrs. Xue Si did not have an imperial status because the man she married was not good enough, and her husband's family was the general's mansion.

Besides, everyone in Beijing knows that her mother's family is the Wang family of Pingyang Prefecture. They are not an ordinary family, but a wealthy and noble family.

Zhou became even more nervous and whispered to her elder sister-in-law, "I'll just not go to the table."

After she finished speaking, she was glared at by her mother-in-law. "Even if the dog meat buns can't be served, you have to serve them. Your eldest sister has been running back and forth for her parents' home. Isn't it tiring for her to cook a table of dishes? Your eldest sister didn't say to invite people to the He family for the reception. Every time she goes to her parents' home, isn't it to give her nephews and nieces a chance?"

Zhou understood this, but she was nervous and afraid of saying the wrong thing.

She was nervous before because she thought Mrs. Wang was just a business woman. Now her legs were shaking when she was about to dine at the same table with Mrs. Xue Si.
