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

When Mrs. Wang saw Mrs. Zhong come in, she didn't even stand up to greet her.

She was the eldest daughter of the Nie family. She had been spoiled since childhood and her daily food and clothing were no worse than those of the wealthy families in Beijing. In her opinion, Mrs. Zhong's clothes were vulgar.

When Mrs. Zhong saw a woman in her thirties with an arrogant look, she laughed at her in her heart, thinking that she was nothing more than a merchant woman who had never seen the world. She relied on her acquaintance with Mrs. Xue Si and thought that her family was a high-class family.

She was secretly angry when she saw that Mrs. Wang did not stand up to greet her or bow to her.

In Beijing, who wouldn't flatter her when she went out?

Well, the more rude Mrs. Wang is, the more virtuous she appears.

Mrs. Zhong was humble, even a little modest, and spoke softly, like a model daughter-in-law who grew up in a scholarly family and took care of her husband and children.

"My husband is Zhong Hanlin. I have come to take the eldest son of Li's elder sister back home. I hope Madam will agree."

She thought, who wouldn’t envy being able to enter the Hanlin Mansion?

Still as the eldest son.

When she went out, she had already spread the news that she was going to bring back the eldest son born to Li Daxueshi's eldest daughter on behalf of the Zhong family.

She had to get there before her mother-in-law, so that she could never scold her again.

Mrs. Wang thought that Mrs. Zhong represented the Zhong family, and both Mrs. Zhong and Hanlin Zhong meant the same thing.

She snorted coldly, "You're saying my brother has become your son? Are you so obsessed with having a son that you've gone crazy? I heard that Zhong Hanlin's original wife died of illness. Why did she die of illness? Why did you marry into the Zhong family? Are the two related? Why did the Li and Zhong families become enemies? God has eyes, this is retribution, you deserve not to have a son.

"But, just because you don't have a son, you can steal someone else's son? Others are afraid of your Hanlin Mansion, but my Nie family is not! Go back and tell Zhong Hanlin to go to the grave of his first wife and ask what he did to deserve this retribution? And you, how dare you walk around the capital pretending to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhong family? You're just a secret sleuth. If it were in my Nie family, shaving your head and becoming a nun would be the least of your problems. Who gave you the face to come to my Nie family? Oh, it's Zhong Hanlin! Bah! You hypocritical hypocrite!"

When Mrs. Wang said "oh", she looked at him with contempt.

Mrs. Zhong was so angry that she was shaking. She was already in her fifties and was the wife of a Hanlin scholar. What this merchant woman, who was of the same generation as her daughter said was like pointing at her nose and scolding her.

She had never suffered such an insult in all these years. Her mother-in-law scolded her because she was her elder. Besides, she felt guilty and did not dare to resist.

A maidservant beside Zhong Hanlin shouted, "How dare you! My wife has a first-rank imperial decree. How can a lowly person like you say that? Don't be so shameless! You are the bastard born by a whore who eloped with someone. My wife has condescended to come here, and instead of kneeling to greet her, you even speak dirty words to her..."

Before she could finish her words, a maid came over and slapped her twice on the mouth. Blood immediately flowed from the corner of her mouth, and there were obvious slap marks on her face.

The old woman retreated after the fight.

Mrs. Wang said, "Sister Gui, you're so inexperienced. If you run into someone like that again, you'll lose a couple of teeth, let alone be considered my follower!"

The old woman lowered her head and said, "Yes, I have embarrassed the madam."

Zhong Hanlin raised his hand and pointed at Mrs. Wang, shaking with fear. "I am a first-rank imperial official. How dare you do this..."

Mrs. Wang spat at the ground, "I'm nothing, but I know propriety, righteousness, and shame! A daughter of the Nie family marries only to be the original wife and would never do something like seducing a married man."

Mrs. Zhong's face was burning. She shrilled, "You said I was punished. What about your sister? Is giving birth to a fool a punishment?"

Mrs. Wang was furious. Her younger sister's matter was her Achilles' heel. It was her willfulness that caused the accidental deaths of her father and stepmother, and made her younger sister become like this. She would not tolerate others calling her younger sister a fool, let alone Mrs. Zhong Hanlin.

Just as Mrs. Zhong finished speaking, a figure flashed by. Her face hurt, and she screamed. She felt something in her mouth and spit it out.

The old woman next to her was horrified when she saw two teeth in a small pool of blood on the ground.

The merchant woman just now wasn't trying to scare her. She could really make two teeth fall out with one slap.

This reminds me that this merchant woman is Mrs. Xue Si's senior sister.

She looked at Mrs. Zhong and saw footprints on her face, not slap marks.

Mrs. Xue Si used her foot to slap Mr. Xue Si's face until it looked like a pig's head.

The old woman didn't see how Mrs. Wang used her feet. She only saw her stand up, then a figure flashed, followed by the lady's scream.

Mrs. Zhong fell to the ground in horror.

"How dare you hit the Imperial Madam..."

When she spoke, she leaked air, which turned out to be a front tooth falling out, so she quickly shut up.

What a shame!

Mrs. Wang stamped her feet twice, as if there was something dirty on the soles of her feet.

"Filthy, filthy thing! Don't think you're a noble just because you're wearing silk and satin! I can see that Zhong Hanlin is no good either. People from the same family are alike. So what if I'm a merchant? My Wang and Nie families wouldn't do such a thing as divorcing a wife and marrying another, or breaking faith! Go tell Zhong Hanlin, just tell him I said it. If you dare, come show off your Hanlin Mansion in front of me! I'll beat you out!"

The maid beside Madam Zhong helped her up. She didn't dare to say a word. She had never seen such a barbaric merchant woman who didn't take the Hanlin Mansion seriously.

Mrs. Zhong was ashamed, embarrassed and angry, and did not dare to say anything harsh, for fear that this bitch would kick her again.

Mrs. Wang said to the woman who had just hit someone, "Sister Gui! Send someone to clean up the guest room immediately, and tell the concierge not to let such shameless people in in the future."

Mrs. Zhong had already walked to the door, but when she heard her scolding her, she turned around and gave her a vicious look.

Mrs. Wang was even more furious. "Sister Gui, take this bitch to the Hanlin Mansion. If she lets go, chop her hands off!"

Sister Gui walked over and grabbed Mrs. Zhong by the collar, like she was holding a dead dog.

At this time, Wang Jingye rushed over. He saw that his wife's eyes were blazing with fire, and Mrs. Zhong was struggling and hanging on Sister Gui's hand.

At this age, he would probably die before reaching the Hanlin Academy.

He said to Sister Gui, "Is it necessary to send her back? Just carry her to the door and throw her out."

Then he hugged his wife and coaxed her, "Don't be angry, leave everything to me. No one can bully Chengping."

Mrs. Wang burst into tears, "That bitch, she said little sister... she said little sister..."

Wang Jingye knew that Mrs. Zhong's words that her sister-in-law was a fool would poke a scar deep in her heart.

Mrs. Zhong was grabbed by the collar by Sister Gui, and her feet were kicking around on the ground. She was regretting spreading the news now, as there must be many people watching the fun at the Wang family's door.

When people see her like this, how can her daughter put her face?

Sister Gui carried Mrs. Zhong out of the house, threw her out, and clapped her hands.

"Whose shameless person is this? He has no son but comes looking for one, spouting nonsense to my wife, saying that the eldest son of the Hanlin Mansion is in my Nie family! Ugh! You're relying on the Hanlin Mansion to try to snatch someone else's son? You're also saying that the concubine of Li Daxueshi's mansion eloped with someone? Which imperial consort is slandering the original wife? I think you're not even worthy of carrying the original wife's shoes, you're a disgrace!"

Mrs. Zhong was thrown to the ground and she lay there with her head down.

Across the street, Zhong Hanlin had a sullen look on his face.
