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

The Queen Mother saw her cousin's expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I also learned all this from the late Empress Dowager, my cousin, including the Nie family's affairs. As for how the late Empress Dowager knew about it, she didn't tell me. Even the late Emperor didn't know about this."

Wang Jingye understood that this meant that the late empress dowager did not trust her own son.

“It’s a pity that your father-in-law passed away suddenly, but it’s hard to say whether he told Nie Chengping’s brother anything. After all, Chengping is not of the Nie family’s bloodline. He can treat him like his own son, but he won’t tell him anything about the Nie family’s lifeline.

"The late Empress Dowager told me about this only after she knew you'd married a daughter of the Nie family, and asked me to find a way to find the collection of books. She didn't tell me, and I slowly figured it out later. Maybe my cousin's grandmother was one of hers. Otherwise, how could the late Empress Dowager, who lived so far away in the capital and had never been to Guanzhong, know so much about the Nie family? However, the late Empress Dowager didn't expect Nie Chengping wasn't from the Nie family. Perhaps my cousin's grandmother knew, but she's passed away, so there's no way she could know."

Wang Jingye said solemnly, "I will investigate thoroughly. After all these years, I wonder if the Zhou family knows where their ancestors got the snake whip from?"

He also talked about how Mrs. Mo sent her two daughters back to her parents' home to learn martial arts from Mrs. Zhou.

Queen Mother Wang said, "Why not ask your wife to invite them to Wang Huilan's place? Once they are familiar with each other, it will be easier for them to interact with the Zhou family."

Wang Jingye also nodded in agreement, and next he would rush to interact with Mo Xinzhi's in-laws.

His cousin told her such an important matter because she really treated him as her own brother. He couldn't let her down and had to do his best.

When Wang Jingye returned home, he saw his wife coaxing his sister-in-law to talk. He asked Chengping if he could go out and Xuanxuan wanted to follow him. His wife did not let him go, so Xuanxuan's sister-in-law was unhappy.

Wang Jingye said, "That's because she has no one to play with. Didn't you say that Mrs. Mo sent her two daughters back to her parents' home to learn martial arts with Dazhi's wife? Why not let them come here every day? It will be lively and Xuanxuan won't be bored. Mrs. Mo will come here often because her daughters are here, so you can also enjoy some of her cooking. Don't you say that having someone come to your house to cook for you is like treating them like a cook? This way, you can kill three birds with one stone."

Mrs. Wang thought this was a good proposal, so she first took her sister to the Mo family to seek their consent.

Of course the Mo family and Zhou were willing to do so. Being able to go to the residence of Mrs. Xue Si in the general's mansion every day was an opportunity they could not ask for.

Mrs. Wang then posted another invitation to Mo Chenxi.

Mo Chenxi was planning to go to Wang's house, but was worried that others would not invite her, so she made an excuse. Last time she sent snacks, this time she would send some cakes she made.

At this time, her mother came quickly and told her that she wanted Zhou to take her two granddaughters and her granddaughter to Wang's house.

Zhou has three children, the older two are sons and the youngest is a six-year-old daughter.

Mo Chenxi said: "No wonder you posted a message for me. I was thinking of making some cakes and sending them over."

Mrs. Mo said, "I was just about to tell you something. You said that with so many people coming to our house, are we going to eat there? It would be embarrassing to ask others to prepare the meal. You said we should order food, but Xiangxiang's mother would definitely not agree. I was thinking that Xiangxiang's mother loves your cooking, so you can work harder and go every now and then. Don't cook too much, just one or two dishes will be enough. When the restaurant opens in the future, you won't have to work so hard."

Mo Chenxi said, "Once the restaurant opens, maybe everyone will go back. However, I have nothing to do during this period, so I won't be tired even if I cook two dishes every day."

Old Mrs. Mo felt embarrassed, thinking that the Mo family had benefited while her daughter had to suffer.

Mo Chenxi said, "Mom, don't think that way. Jingyi and her sister live in my mother's house. If I give them money, will my parents accept it? I would feel embarrassed. I do what I can. If I have to prepare a large table of dishes every day, I can't do it."

Mrs. Mo was very pleased to see her daughter was so understanding. She went back and told her daughter-in-law that the Mo family would give her more dowry when Jingyi got married.

Although the daughter is her biological child, the daughter-in-law will be the head of the Mo family in the future. She doesn't want her daughter to work hard, nor does she want her daughter-in-law to suffer any loss. She also doesn't want her daughter-in-law to be picky about her daughter.

She knew that the two daughters-in-law, who had always received subsidies from the Mo family, had complaints because the subsidies were always given without any return, which would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

The next day, Mo Chenxi made straw hat cakes, mung bean paste and red bean paste. No child doesn't like desserts.

When I got there, my sister-in-law and her family had already arrived. There was no one there, but I could hear the laughter of children in the martial arts training ground behind.

Mrs. Wang was waiting for her in the room, saying that her junior sister was holding Xiangxiang and watching the fun from behind.

She sent someone to deliver most of the cakes that Mo Chenxi brought, and kept a small portion.

"Let's eat there, otherwise there will be too many people and I'll hear the noise."

She ate a piece of cake first and said it was delicious.

Mo Chenxi said, "It tastes better when it's freshly made and hot."

Mrs. Wang nodded as she ate. "I feel the same way. That's why I don't like eating food brought back from restaurants. I want to eat hot food made right at the restaurant. When your restaurant opens, I'll book a private room and eat there every day."

Mo Chenxi smiled and said, "I wish you could give me some suggestions for my mother's restaurant."

Mrs. Wang asked tentatively, "You have a share in the restaurant, right?"

Mo Chenxi smiled and said, "I have to leave something for my children, otherwise the He family won't have enough to share."

Mrs. Wang understood that when her parents-in-law were alive, no matter how much her husband earned, he had to give it all away. Even if he kept some, it would only be a small portion. Only after her parents-in-law passed away and the family property was divided, would the earnings become theirs.

She had a dowry from the Nie family, and she was willing to spend it on her own, and her in-laws had no right to interfere.

Even so, her sisters-in-law were watching her and wished she would take out her dowry so that they could spend it together. After all, the Nie family was rich.

Mo Chenxi said, "Do you want to send a copy to Mr. Nie?"

He Shanluo now comes to Wang's house every day, and comes early in the morning.

Mrs. Wang said, "No need. He took your Shanluo out. He has a classmate in Beijing. He introduced them to each other."

Mo Chenxi was a little disappointed, which meant that Mr. Nie had no intention of taking Shanluo in.

Nie Chengping thought that he would leave the capital eventually, so he reluctantly taught He Shanluo in order to thank the Mo family and Mrs. He.

Then I will introduce a gentleman to He Shanluo who is his classmate and also from Guanzhong.

When he brought He Shanluo out of his classmate's house, he saw a man staring at him on the side of the road.

He felt a little strange.

Recently, people always look at him when he goes out. At first, he thought those people were from the general's mansion.

But this person looks familiar.

He was about to leave when he stopped.

This person looks like my mother.

He knew that his mother was his father's concubine, but he had never met his mother's family.

During an argument between his eldest sister and his father, he learned that his mother was brought back by his father when he went out. He was already pregnant at that time. His eldest sister said that his mother was a person of unknown origin.
