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

After Madam Xue left, Madam Zhong asked the personal nanny who had been peeking inside to come in.

This mother was from the Wansheng family, the daughter of the maid who came with her as a dowry. She was now also a grandmother and had always served her closely.

She had also met Li, who recently asked her to keep an eye on the Wang family.

Wan Sheng's family came in and whispered something, and Mrs. Zhong suddenly stood up, waved her hand, and asked her to go out.

The Wansheng family said that the woman who looked like Li seemed to be a fool.

Mrs. Zhong had a bad feeling that Li was no longer alive, otherwise a mother would not be willing to let a daughter like her go on a long journey.

Less than a month after Wang Shangjia's wife arrived, Mrs. Xue Si sent her here, which means she had been living with her sister.

Madam Zhong has already found out that the person who looks like her son is Wang Shangjia's brother-in-law who built the restaurant for the Mo family. This means that Li has become someone's concubine.

She had already sent people to Pingyang Prefecture to find out who the Nie family was. At first, she also thought that Wang Shangjia was a relative of Mrs. Xue Si, so she had to investigate Wang Shangjia's Wang family.

As for the Mo family, she investigated it thoroughly inside and out. She found out that they had no dealings with the General's Mansion before. If they had had dealings with the General's Mansion, it would be impossible for him to stay in the seventh-rank position for his entire life.

She also checked that the Peng family had invited Mrs. Mo before, and found out that it was Mrs. Zhao, the doctor, who invited Mrs. Mo.

She also found out clearly how the Mo family bought the shop. It seemed like they were forced to do so, but they did get some benefits.

The He family is not worth mentioning, but it is a bit strange that Doctor He was demoted to the chief. According to common sense, it is impossible for him to be demoted as soon as he returned after sending his mother back to his hometown. Madam Zhong could only think that he had offended his superiors.

Mrs. Zhong thought about it over and over again, but she still couldn't figure out how the Mo family and Wang Shangjia were connected. It was too coincidental and weird.

I can only send someone to keep an eye on the Mo family again.

Wang Huilan was in mourning for her husband, and it would only be three years at the end of the year. Others found it difficult to send her invitations, and apart from a visit to the Xue family, she didn't visit anyone else's house.

After Mrs. Xue returned from the Central Mansion, she thought about it and sent someone to call Wang Huilan over the next day to ask directly whether the person living with her was the Wang family's brother.

Wang Huilan replied, "No, it's just that we both have the surname Wang. Because my senior sister married him, we have been in contact with each other."

Mrs. Xue originally thought that if it was his Wang family, she would scold her daughter-in-law, but even though they were outsiders with the same surname, she did not ask them to come to your house to pay a visit.

She can't reprimand this.

If you can't criticize me for this, then find something else to criticize me for.

"Since they're not relatives, you're in mourning and it's inconvenient for you to entertain guests. Doesn't that Wang have any relatives? Why would he live in Beijing without any relatives? What's the relationship between him and the Mo family?"

Wang Huilan listened to Madam Xue speak and looked at Madam Liao. Did that look mean that Madam Xue was getting senile?

"My senior sister and I are from the same school. Our master is like our parents, and my senior sister is like our elder sister. If Madam Tai tells others about this, I'm afraid many people will disagree. When the general comes back, I'll ask him why he gives money to the Fu family every year. Why does an outsider take such good care of her?"

The Fu family is the family of General Xue's master. Since the master passed away, General Xue has given a sum of money to his master's family every year because the Fu family has a junior brother who is recuperating from an illness and the medicine he takes is relatively expensive.

Mrs. Xue was scolded by her daughter-in-law and regretted saying this. She chose the wrong place. Fellow sisters were neither relatives nor outsiders.

She said with a dark face: "That Mo girl is possessed by a ghost. You'd better stay away from her."

Wang Huilan added, "If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Maybe she can communicate with spirits. I will only make friends with people like her and won't offend them."

She said this because she didn't want Madam Xue to vent her anger on the Mo family. Madam Xue believed this kind of thing the most. In the year when the Fourth Master passed away, she consulted countless fortune-tellers just to ask whether the Fourth Master was suffering in the afterlife.

The mother-in-law also knew that her son did not do anything good when he was alive.

Mrs. Xue's eyes lit up when she heard her daughter-in-law say this. Why didn't she think of this?

"Then did you ask Xiao Si how he was doing down there?"

Wang Huilan said, "Who doesn't know that spiritualism can harm the body for half a year? Otherwise, the Mo family's doorstep wouldn't have been trampled down by others."

Madam Xue was right and regretted not thinking of this earlier. No wonder some female relatives sent invitations to Mrs. Mo.

Only then did her expression soften. "Then take some time to ask her. If she needs anything, come back and let me know. If you can let me talk to Xiao Si..."

Madam Xue gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give her one thousand taels."

The fortune tellers she had consulted before gave her one hundred taels each time, which added up to one thousand taels. But after thinking about it, she realized that all the fortune tellers were lying to her. Some said that Xiao Si had already been reincarnated, and some said that the general's mansion burned a lot of silver, so Xiao Si was living a life of luxury in the underworld, with beautiful women by his side.

Then why did she often dream of Xiao Si crying? Mrs. Mo was not a fortune teller and did not make a living from this. She was the daughter of an official and the wife of an official. If she could do it, she would not lie.

Wang Huilan didn't expect that the lady would actually ask an official's wife to communicate with her through spirits. She regretted saying this.

"How can I say such words? After all, she is the wife of a sixth-rank official. Treating her as a fortune teller is an insult to her. If there are many families who can afford such a thing, will she go to every one of them?"

Madam Xue didn't think her daughter-in-law was being offensive, so she patiently explained, "It would be rude to come to someone you don't know. Aren't you familiar with them? It's not unreasonable to ask for something between close friends."

Mrs. Liao listened with twitching lips. Whenever the mother-in-law encountered problems with her brother-in-law, she would speak softly to the daughter-in-law whom she hated the most.

She also sighed, this is the heart of a mother. Even if her son is gone, she still has to worry about whether her son is suffering in the underworld.

Every year on her brother-in-law's death anniversary and the Ghost Festival, her mother-in-law would ask her to make lavish preparations, saying that the little ghosts were difficult to deal with and that she would burn more paper money for the wandering ghosts, saying that Xiao Si had never suffered when he was alive and she couldn't let him suffer in the underworld.

Wang Huilan still refused outright, "I can't do that. Mrs. Mo has been recuperating for a long time. Even if she gets better, I won't ask for anything."

Mrs. Xue was patient and tried not to offend her daughter-in-law too much, so as to prevent her from saying bad things about her in front of Mrs. Mo. After a while, she asked her eldest daughter-in-law to send an invitation to Mrs. Mo to make friends with her first.

Wang Huilan returned to the house and told her junior sister directly, "Junior sister, you have to tell Madam He that Madam Xue would do anything for her precious son. She wanted to eat me when she saw me, but when she heard that I could communicate with spirits, she treated me with such kindness that I got goosebumps all over my body."

Mrs. Wang's thoughts were elsewhere. "What if it's true? I want to talk to my dad."

Wang Huilan...

Another believer.

Mo Chenxi didn't know that others thought she was a fortune teller. When the weather got cold, she asked someone to prepare winter bedding and clothes for He Shanqiao.

I heard that the eldest son said that the school had no heating equipment and that studying there would take ten years of hard work.

There is a calligraphy piece in the study: The sharpness of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
