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

Everyone was even more shocked when they heard what Xia Qiran was shouting.

The burly man holding him slapped him in the face.

"Although I'm not a good person and I'm from the lowest class, I admire Madam Zhong. If Madam Zhong hadn't given me porridge to save my mother when I was a child, I would have starved to death. Last time, you mentioned a man who looked like a Hanlin scholar, saying that no matter if he was from the Zhong family or not, you would always use this to blackmail your brother-in-law. Bah! I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. You've been eating up the Zhong family your whole life, and now that Madam Zhong is gone, you're still talking nonsense and slandering the Zhong family. Even I, a low-class person who is looked down upon by everyone, can't stand it."

He slapped Xia Qiran twice again and dragged him away.

Another burly man kicked Xia Qiran from behind.

At the Zhong family, after the mourners left, Master Zhong II went to the eldest brother's room and saw that he was awake. He stretched out a hand and said something, but it was unclear.

Zhong Lao Er said, "Didn't you ask why your mother never forgave you even after her death? Why did your mother hate you so much? Let me tell you, it's because your mother is so disappointed in you!

"You are the eldest son of the Zhong family. You have been smart since childhood. You are the pride of the Zhong family and your mother. But your grandmother has won you over and alienated you from your mother. Did your mother force you to marry your eldest sister-in-law just because she likes her? Your mother did it for you. My wife was also chosen by your grandmother, but your mother did not refute it because she favors you.

"Later, you married Xia. Mother has been waiting for you to make a decisive decision, waiting for you to wake up, but you let Xia do whatever she wants, and Mother is disappointed. Mother has been waiting for you all her life, and you have always disappointed Mother.

"Now you ask why your mother hates you? Even if she died, she would still protect you! Do you think the people from the gambling house dared to arrest Xia Qiran at the door of the Zhong family today? If it wasn't me who arranged it, who else would help you deal with the Xia family besides your mother?

"I'm the eldest brother's younger brother. Today I want to tell you that you have lost your conscience! Mother helped you until her death. How could Mother not know that Xia gave jewelry to her brothers? She deliberately let the Xia siblings anger her to death so that she could help you deal with the Xia family. Even if Mother died, she would help you solve the problem. Yet, you ask why Mother hates you? You have lost your conscience..."

Master Zhong Er cried.

The eldest brother fainted after his mother was angered to death and woke up with hemiplegia.

He didn't announce it to the public, just waiting for Xia Qiran to cause trouble.

On that day, news spread from the people in the Zhong Mansion that Zhong Hanlin was so angry about his brother-in-law causing trouble that he fainted and became paralyzed.

By now, Xia Qiran was notorious. After failing to pay back a debt and having one of his legs broken, he lay at home cursing.

Doctor An came back from the Zhong Mansion after paying his respects and called the Wang and Nie families over. He told them about the jewelry box that his aunt had sent over.

"I hurried to the Zhong family and didn't open it. It's all here. And this, too. Last time I went to see my aunt, she asked me to give it to her. She said it was for Miss Nie Er."

He took out the silver note and placed it on the jewelry box with Miss Nie's name on it.

Each jewelry box was sealed with a date written on it, and the date was the day Dr. An went to see his aunt.

After all, these are Mrs. Zhong's relics. She is no longer with us, so it is not easy to return them. If we return them, how can we explain why Mrs. Zhong gave them these?

Wang Jingye thought that a jewelry box was only used to store jewelry, at most a set of head ornaments.

When I took it back and looked at it, I was shocked to find that it was two gold bars.

Mrs. Wang was also startled and quickly opened the jewelry box given to her sister. There were five gold bars in it.

Looking at the banknote again, I was even more frightened.

Wang Jingye sighed.

"They say that Mrs. Zhong's dowry was all spent by her daughter-in-law's brothers. It turns out that part of it is here."

Mrs. Wang was certain that her eldest brother was the son of Zhong Hanlin, otherwise why would Mrs. Zhong give so much silver to the Nie family?

So why did she deny it?

Zhong Hanlin had no children, so he adopted his nephew.

Wang Jingye held his wife's hand and said, "Chengping is your biological brother and my brother-in-law. It doesn't matter what anyone says. As long as we agree on this, it's fine."

Mrs. Wang nodded.

Nie Chengping opened the jewelry box and found ten gold bars and a silver note inside. He had guessed it from the heaviness of the jewelry box he had just held.

Mrs. Zhong sold all her dowry one after another and exchanged them for gold bars and silver notes. Because the dowry was recorded, it would be given to whoever took it out, and the gold bars and silver notes could not be proved to be Mrs. Zhong's dowry.

Nie Cheng'an also sighed when he saw the gold bars.

The Wang and Nie families all changed into plain clothes. Whether it was public or not, Nie Chengping had to observe mourning for Madam Zhong.

Wang Jingye and his wife and the Nie family went to the Zhong family to pay their respects.

Mrs. Zhong had been to the Wang family before. Doctor An was Mrs. Zhong's nephew and lived in the Wang family. It was appropriate for the Wang and Nie families to go and pay their respects.

Zhong Hanlin's adopted son knelt first, followed by the second master Zhong, and kowtowed to the mourners.

Master Zhong Er looked at Nie Chengping and found that he looked a bit like his son, with eyes and eyebrows like his elder sister-in-law Li.

This is the eldest brother's biological son. The mother feels guilty towards the eldest sister-in-law and denies that he is a descendant of the Zhong family.

He never called Xia his sister-in-law. In his heart, there was only one sister-in-law, the legitimate daughter of the Li family.

Mrs. Wang thought of the time when Mrs. Zhong went to apologize, and she could imagine that Mrs. Zhong's heart was bleeding, and she couldn't recognize her own grandson.

Although she sympathized with Madam Zhong, her brother was a member of her Nie family and no one could take him away.

Nie Chengping respectfully burned incense to Madam Zhong, and Wang Jingye took the lead by kneeling down and kowtowing, because it would be suspicious if the brother-in-law kowtowed, and not kowtowing was unfilial. He kowtowed to the madam, and as he was the younger generation, it was understandable.

Only then could Chengping kneel down and kowtow.

Mrs. Wang understood her husband's thoughts and knelt down with him. Nie Chengping was stunned for a moment and knelt down. Nie Cheng'an followed his eldest brother closely.

Master Zhong II burst into tears. This was the bloodline of his Zhong family, and his eldest brother had destroyed it.

Even his mother didn't recognize him, so he couldn't recognize him either.

Mo Chenxi took the jewelry box, opened it, and found a set of head ornaments, which was a surprise.

Mrs. Zhong gave it to her because Doctor An said she would participate in curing Nie Lingxuan.

She admired Mrs. Zhong. Generally, when an old lady's son had no children, if she learned that she had a grandson, she would do everything she could to get him back.

But Mrs. Zhong did not do so.

So I admire you.

Nowadays, there are still many elderly people who fight with their daughters-in-law for their grandchildren, and then refuse to take good care of them when they get them back.

She could guess that Madam Zhong also gave Nie Chengping money before her death. People outside were saying that all of Madam Zhong's dowry was spent by the Xia siblings. Was Madam Zhong so incompetent?

Never will.

She gave birth to a grandson from her ex-daughter-in-law.

Mo Chenxi now goes to Wang's house every day to take medicine and get to know Nie Lingxuan.

She saw that both the Wang and Nie families had changed into plain clothes, and that Nie Chengping's family only ate vegetarian food, which meant that both the Wang and Nie families understood Nie Chengping's life experience but did not say it out loud.

Li Zheyan, the Grand Secretary, invited Doctor An to his house for a consultation. Doctor An did not ask any questions. After the consultation, he personally sent him out and said he would visit him another day.

Two days later, Li Zheyan and his wife went to Wang's house in person, saying that Doctor An was an excellent doctor, and then asked to see Nie Chengping.

Nie Chengping went to the living room and saw Lord Li and a middle-aged lady whom he had met last time.

Mrs. Li saw him and burst into tears, "Aning..."

Nie Chengping was stunned.

When his mother gave birth to his little sister, he said to her: "How about we name our little sister Aning?"

The mother blurted out: Not good.

Then he quickly explained: "Your father has already chosen a name for you: Lingxuan, Xuanxuan. Mother likes the flowers of daylilies, so your sister is named Xuanxuan."

Nie Chengping was stunned. It turned out that his mother's name was Aning.
