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

Mrs. Peng saw that Mrs. Xue was very deliberately polite to Mrs. Wang at the beginning, which showed that she didn't know which Wang family it was.

If it was Madam Zhong, she would have guessed it at a glance.

Looking at Mrs. Xue's daughter-in-law, Liao, there was a hint of nervousness in her enthusiasm. She ignored the other guests and only accompanied Mrs. Wang.

When Mrs. Peng saw Mrs. Xue's surprised expression behind her, her expression changed obviously and her face became as smiling as a chrysanthemum.

I guess she guessed it too.

Mrs. Peng was happy.

Fortunately, General Xue was able to control his mother. Liao was lucky. After giving birth to her eldest daughter, she gave birth to four sons in one go. Madam Xue was quite kind to Liao.

She had spoiled her son in his old age, but that was also because General Xue was not in the capital and could not discipline her younger brother.

Mrs. Peng thought to herself, this person is just determined by fate. Mrs. Zhong has always been strong-willed, but it's a pity that her son is not as good as her.

Madam Xue is simple-minded and does things as she pleases, but she has a righteous son who is not ambitious and is asking for trouble. Her daughter-in-law happens to be the junior sister of the empress dowager's sister-in-law.

You say her blessing is like it fell from the sky just because she is sitting at home.

Unlike her, she planned and planned every day, trying to get everyone's favor, which allowed the Peng family to survive in the cracks.

Mrs. Peng discovered another strange phenomenon. Mrs. Wang was familiar with Mrs. He and respected her. She took the initiative to pick up food for Mrs. He and spoke to her as "you" instead of "you".

She had already found out who Mrs. He was. Her father was a seventh-rank official, and her husband was a fifth-rank official. He was demoted and sent to Tongzhou a while ago.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen. Because of Mrs. He's relationship with the Wang family, her husband can only be promoted, not demoted.

This is strange.

I'll ask my daughter-in-law about it later.

Madam Peng could notice it, as could Princess Weixing and Liao, that the two of them were more affectionate towards Mo Chenxi than before.

Mo Chenxi was already on high alert and immediately felt that they treated her differently because she saw that Mrs. Wang respected her.

She felt that Sister Wang was grateful to her because she had helped in treating the younger sister of the Nie family.

However, the fact that several nobles looked up to Wang Dasao because of her attitude showed that the Wang family was not ordinary. I would ask my father when I get back.

Everyone had their own guesses about this wedding banquet. When saying goodbye, Mrs. Xue asked her daughter-in-law to see Mrs. Wang off personally, while the other female guests waited until Mrs. Wang left before saying goodbye one by one.

As for the male guests, General Xue personally saw Wang Jingye and others out. He Wenyan looked around but didn't see He Shanqiao.

Ask him later how he came to the Xue family. Don't let him be fooled again because he is young and unfamiliar with Beijing.

Wang Jingye and his companions came in two carriages, and when they left, they first sent Mo Chenxi and his family of three home.

He Wenpu and He Wenliang both took leave and stayed at home waiting because their eldest brother went to the general's mansion to attend a wedding banquet.

Both of them were very excited. Seeing their eldest brother and others come back, He Wenpu poured tea himself and He Wenliang took off his eldest brother's cloak.

He Wenyan sat down and drank a sip of tea. He first asked, "Has Shanqiao come back?"

He Wenliang was puzzled as to why his elder brother asked about his nephew as soon as he came back. He said, "I didn't see him come back. How come, elder brother saw him? Did he skip classes and go out to play? That's not possible. I'll go to the academy tomorrow and talk to him."

He Wenyan said, "I saw him at the wedding banquet at the General's Mansion. We were far apart and didn't speak."

Brother He Wenpu was shocked, "Why did he go to the Xue family?"

He Wenliang said, "I've been to the academy. The person he lived with seemed to be surnamed Xue, but he looked thin. Could he be from the Xue family? Did Shanqiao follow him to the Xue family?"

He Wenyan said: "It's Laba holiday, let's ask him when he comes back."

He Wenliang asked anxiously, "How about going to the General's Mansion?"

He Wenyan explained the situation, and He Wenliang said directly: "I said that Wang Dongjia is not ordinary. He can be sent out by General Xue himself. He can't be just a businessman."

He Wenyan asked, "Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to make important contributions to the Wang family of Pingyang Prefecture?"

He Wenliang said, "It won't happen because of this. If the Queen Mother wants to reuse the Wang family of Pingyang Prefecture, General Xue should distance himself from the Wang family. Two military families shouldn't get too close. Has Big Brother asked Big Sister-in-law?"

What he meant was that maybe the female relatives would be able to see something.

He Wenyan said, "What can a woman know?"

He Wenliang was speechless. What's wrong with being a woman? Isn't the Queen Mother also a woman? No man can compare to her.

"The women are sometimes more informed. Otherwise, when the women of wealthy families have a flower party, some old ladies won't listen to what others say, but can guess something by looking at their expressions."

He Wenliang said, "This is your sister-in-law's first time attending such an event. I mean, she doesn't know anyone, so it's good if she can avoid making mistakes."

He Wenliang thought, fortunately his sister-in-law was not there, otherwise she would be very angry after hearing what his brother said.

My sister-in-law usually socializes and entertains people, which has accumulated members for the He family. Otherwise, how could Doctor Zhao's family marry his eldest niece?

And the Cao family, were they willing to marry their daughter here? Wasn't it all because of the eldest sister-in-law?

Who would still be interested in the empty He family? They had no family background, no wealth, and all they could say was that their mother was foolish and their second sister was unreasonable.

No wonder Uncle Mo increasingly disdains Big Brother.

He Wenyan saw the disapproving look on his brother's face and said, "Then let's hear what your sister-in-law has to say."

Send for the lady to come over.

Mo Chenxi changed his clothes and was about to go to his daughter's place when he heard the servant say that the master asked him to go to the study. So he went there first, so as to hear what he thought about going to the general's mansion.

He Wenpu's brother stood up and greeted his eldest sister-in-law. Mo Chenxi sat down, and He Wenyan asked directly, "What news did you hear from the female relatives?"

Mo Chenxi glanced at He Wenliang and saw that he looked helpless.

"I followed Sister Wang and never spoke to anyone except Madam Peng and the Princess of Weixing County."

She was reluctant to voice her awareness.

He Wenyan looked at his brother with an understanding expression and said, "See, I told you she knew nothing."

He said seriously: "At first I thought that General Xue valued his brother-in-law very much. The Xue family publicly accepted their former daughter-in-law as their goddaughter, and the courtesy shown to Wang Dongjia was also to give face to his brother-in-law.

"Later, Prince Weixing came to toast Wang Dongjia and addressed him as Brother Wang, which shows that the Wang family is not simple. No Wang family that can rank high in the capital has such a big face, unless they are the Queen Mother Wang's family."

Mo Chenxi was surprised, and the He Wenpu brothers were even more surprised.

He Wenyan felt somewhat smug when he saw his wife's surprised expression.

"The only people who could be personally escorted out by General Xue were the Queen Mother's relatives, that is, the Emperor's maternal family. The general could only follow the Emperor closely and could not form a clique for personal gain, so he held a grand wedding for his former sister-in-law."

Mo Chenxi was thinking about the Madam Wang whom she had met. Could she be the Queen Mother?

After He Wenyan finished speaking, he looked at Mo Chenxi affectionately and said, "Madam has good relationships with people and is able to know Mrs. Wang."

Mo Chenxi said: "The master said at the beginning that there is no need to make friends with such people."

He Wenliang almost laughed out loud as he secretly watched his elder brother's face turn red after being scolded by his elder sister-in-law.

Mo Chenxi felt happy and thought to himself, I will confront you without any negotiation.
