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

Mrs. Zhong also asked about the condition of the younger sister of the Nie family.

Doctor An said, "The second young lady of the Nie family lost her parents unexpectedly when she was only four years old, and she was very frightened. Afterwards, the Nie siblings sought treatment from many doctors. This is also due to the close relationship between the Nie siblings. In other families, without their parents, they would be considered lucky to have a sister like this."

Mrs. Zhong burst into tears and kept wondering how Li died. It turned out to be an accident.

If nothing unexpected happened, I would still be alive now.

Seeing his aunt like this, Doctor An became even more certain that Nie Chengping was his aunt's grandson.

If an unrelated person heard about this, he would just show sympathy.

My aunt couldn't hold back her tears, which only showed that she really liked her daughter-in-law back then.

Mrs. Zhong took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. "I'm such a useless person, yet I'm still alive today. Chengping... Master Nie's mother, who was considered my junior, passed away at such a young age. It's so pitiful just thinking about it. I don't know how their siblings have managed all these years."

Doctor An said, "Fortunately, the Nie family is wealthy and powerful, and Uncle Nie is the eldest son of the Nie family, so there are no problems in life."

Madam Zhong shook her head. "The Zhong family is the most prestigious Hanlin family in the capital. When I go out, everyone is respectful to me except the Empress Dowager. But so what? Perhaps my life is not as smooth as your mother's."

She took out a banknote and said, "Take this. This is a small gift from me as your aunt."

Doctor An declined politely, "My nephew is doing well. The Nie family paid for this trip, so we are not short of money for the time being."

Mrs. Zhong shook her head again. "This is my intention as an aunt. When your mother left Beijing, I was at the Zhong family. My mother-in-law... she is no longer with us, so I won't tell you. When I learned that your mother was leaving Beijing, I hurried back to her parents' home."

"After all, we are sisters. Even if my parents are around, I can't avoid being bullied by my mother-in-law. I think your mother is married to someone else, far away from her parents' home. If something happens to her, there will be no one to help her.

"I couldn't give her my jewelry, so I hurriedly had some gold jewelry made for her. I only said to her: 'If you need anything in the future, I'll be there for you.' Later, I regretted not preparing more dowry for your mother. After years of no news, I gradually forgot that I had this sister.

"Take these. Consider these as gifts to my sister. When you return to your hometown, burn some paper for your mother. When I am in the underworld, we sisters can meet and reminisce about the past."

Doctor An took the banknote and expressed his gratitude.

He heard his aunt talking about gold jewelry and said, "My mother always wears a bracelet without any carvings."

Seeing that my aunt didn't say anything, I understood that the bracelet was given to me by my aunt.

My mother said that she had a set back then. Fortunately, this set was not exquisite and she had never taken it out before, so it was not taken away by others.

This other person must be my mother’s ex-husband’s family.

No wonder his mother asked him to come and kowtow to his aunt before she died. Perhaps it was that set of jewelry that helped his mother get through the saddest time, leaving only a bracelet for her to carry with her.

Mrs. Zhong said, "You've come all this way. I should have stayed at home and treated you well, but you're more important to treat patients. But if you have time, please come and visit my old aunt who is about to die. It's not convenient for me to go to the Wang family, so you don't have to wait for me to send someone to call you. Come anytime."

Dr. An agreed.

When he left the Zhong family, he saw his cousin coming out of the gatehouse, "Cousin An, come in and talk."

Doctor An followed Zhong Hanlin into the lobby, waiting to hear what his cousin would ask him.

Zhong Hanlin hesitated to speak, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Cousin, Chengping..."

Just say these few words.

Doctor An replied, "I'm not familiar with the Nie family, and I don't know their situation. I was invited by Mr. Nie's father-in-law to treat the second young lady of the Nie family."

He answered with a somewhat cold tone.

Zhong Hanlin was silent.

Doctor An would not stay to accompany him in silence, so he stood up and said, "Cousin, I have something to say goodbye to first."

Zhong Hanlin stood up and followed him out. As soon as he walked out of the door, a man suddenly rushed out and grabbed Zhong Hanlin directly.

Doctor An was startled to see the man, about fifty years old with white hair, pulling Zhong Hanlin and begging him, "Brother-in-law, please let me in to see my sister. Apart from not giving you a son, what has she done wrong? I want to see her alive or dead."

When Doctor An heard that it was a matter concerning the inner chamber, he left without even looking back.

Zhong Hanlin was pulled hard by his brother-in-law Xia Qiran to break free, but Xia Qiran held him tightly and refused to let go.

Soon a lot of people surrounded him, and Zhong Hanlin had no choice but to take him into the gatehouse and not let him into the yard.

His brother-in-law came to him after he remarried his cousin.

At that time, my grandmother was still alive. She was happy to see her nephew from her mother's side, so she bought a house for her brother-in-law and cousin and helped him get married.

My grandmother said it was all paid for by her parents, but later I learned that it was all money from the Zhong family. My grandmother's dowry had long been used to supplement her parents' money, and the remaining part was given to my cousin as a dowry.

When Li's dowry came, my grandmother wanted to keep half of it. My mother and grandmother had a big fight, and he didn't have the face to keep any of Li's dowry.

One time, my cousin said: It would be great if Li’s dowry was still there.

He was shocked. His simple and weak cousin actually wanted to take Li's dowry?

It’s not surprising when you think about it. The cousin who was raised by her grandmother only wants to help her Xia family.

Only then did he slowly think about what his mother had said. The more he thought about it, the more he compared it with other things and realized that he was an idiot.

His grandmother's family was in Cangzhou Prefecture, and when his cousin was eight years old, his grandmother sent someone to bring her home. Later, he learned that his grandmother's nephew was not doing well and was almost ruining the Xia family. She brought his cousin home in the hope that she would marry him so that he could continue to subsidize the Xia family.

My mother didn't want to follow my grandmother's lead in subsidizing the Xia family, so my grandmother tormented my mother all her life. She started to torment Li, the woman my mother married, from the day she came into the family. She even let my cousin become a concubine just to coax him into subsidizing the Xia family.

He was raised by his grandmother, and he favored her, believed what she said, and rejected his mother.

The result was that he supported his brother-in-law's entire family.

My mother didn't interfere, saying that it was the Zhong family's money and I could give it to whoever I wanted.

My cousin is thinking about her mother’s dowry, which her mother donates to the temple every year and never takes out.

Zhong Hanlin listened to Xia Qiran talking about missing her sister, and then she said that her family was struggling to make ends meet.

The shameless old man with wrinkles all over his face cried, just for money.

They, the siblings, have been coveting the Zhong family's money all their lives, and they have also shamelessly been coveting their mother's dowry and Li's dowry.

Zhong Hanlin felt nauseous.

This is the cousin he wanted to marry even though he ignored Li. His mother said he'd better not regret it.

But he had already regretted it.

After having three daughters, he stopped sleeping with his cousin. He couldn't let his son have the blood of the Xia family.

No matter how much Zhong Hanlin hated Xia Qiran, he could only give him a hundred taels of silver and send him away.

if not?

Xia Qiran would sell his house and move into the Zhong family's house. He has been doing this for more than ten years.
