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

Mo Chenxi was really nervous this time and didn't even dare to raise his head.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly. This was how most women looked when they saw her. Compared to now, Mrs. Mo used to be simple and honest.

Mo Chenxi thought to herself, before, I only thought of you as a rich woman, and later I thought of you as a rich woman with a strong backing. But now, you are the queen mother who is above everyone else. How can I not be nervous?

In my previous life, I had never even seen a section chief’s wife.

The Queen Mother said, "Sit down. Don't be nervous. Just treat me as your wife as before. Let's talk. We don't have enough time today, so why don't you make some noodles for me to try."

Speaking of food, Mo Chenxi relaxed a little. She sat down and said, "The weather is cold, and spicy noodles are better with chili peppers."

She blushed after saying this, and became talkative when it came to food, giving the Empress Dowager suggestions on what to eat.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's go back and ask the imperial kitchen to try making it."

Mo Chenxi didn't dare to say anything else, waiting for the Queen Mother to ask her something. It was impossible for him to come to see her just to have a casual chat.

The Queen Mother asked, "Do you think that when a person dies, they may express their resentment in dreams?"

Mo Chenxi said honestly: "What you think about during the day, you dream about at night."

The Queen Mother thought she was going to say what people often say, that if you think too much during the day you will dream about it at night, so she frowned slightly.

“But sometimes I don’t expect anyone else to have the same dream.”

The Queen Mother uttered an "oh" and asked, "Why?"

"Perhaps it was that person who caused an important event to happen to me. Sometimes I want to ignore it, not realizing that I have an obsession deep in my heart."

Mo Chenxi was able to say these words because in her previous life she had also dreamed of someone she had never thought of before, and she asked a friend who liked psychology.

The Queen Mother said, "I'm asking if there is such a thing as dreams."

"Yes and no. If you believe it, it exists, but if you don't, it doesn't. Most of the time, it's because you feel that someone has unresolved issues with you, or you owe them something, so they'll appear in your dreams. Sometimes, it's because you're physically weak and happen to encounter something related to that person, so you dream about them."

Mo Chenxi felt that she had spoken a lot of nonsense when she said this. She continued, "Actually, there are very few people who have dreams, because it depends on fate. Otherwise, if there are too many unwilling souls, wouldn't the Black and White Impermanence be busy running back and forth at night?"

The Queen Mother smiled.

Mo Chenxi threw himself into the fight and continued, "As long as I'm a righteous person, have a good fortune, and am in good health, and what I do is worthy of heaven and earth, why should I fear anything else? They say I'm possessed, but I don't know what my condition would be like if I were possessed, but I rely on myself, I'm worthy of myself, and I'm not afraid."

The Queen Mother saw that there was light in Mo Chenxi's eyes when he finished speaking, and his eyes were firm.

She hadn't realized that Wufangzhai was her idea, and that the Mo Family Restaurant was also her plan behind the scenes. She had thought she was a gentle and shy woman, and that everything her cousin said was Madam He's plan.

My cousin clicked his tongue and said, "My dear, you can't judge a book by its cover. Uncle Mo didn't say it, but I just realized it was all Madam He's idea. I didn't realize it. No wonder she never mentioned Master He and wouldn't tell him. If Master He knew, he would only drag her down, saying that women's opinions are not acceptable. Madam He is really wasting her talent by marrying Master He. Uncle Mo has poor taste in choosing a son-in-law."

What Queen Mother Wang heard was what Madam He said: I rely on myself and I am worthy of myself.

Yes, it is rare for a woman to say this.

I have relied on myself to get to where I am today. I have lived up to myself and the people of the world.

The Queen Mother asked, "What would you do if you thought of nothing but yourself?"

Mo Chenxi said: "If you think too much, it will be difficult to do it, so I will think more. Anyway, it's just thinking."

The Queen Mother didn't expect me to say that. She smiled again and said, "Tell me about it."

"I want to walk around and try some local snacks, but I think it's hard to go out, and I'm afraid I can't bear it."

This is the truth. Don't even think about the environment in ancient times. Even in modern times, isn't traveling tiring? I only go out once a year, and each trip lasts only a few days. When I come back, I'm exhausted as a dead dog.

She can't handle traveling all year round.

"I want to make a lot of money and I work hard for it. Making money makes me happy, and making more money can also help others. Helping others is a form of spiritual practice."

If this is just a high-minded statement, then I would add, "Making money is also for enjoying a good life."

The Queen Mother's eyes visibly widened and she smiled again.

Mrs. Mo spoke as if she had just thought of something, and talked about whatever came to her mind.

But to be honest, as ordinary people, who doesn’t want to live a good life?

"What do you think of women controlling government?"

As a modern soul, Mo Chenxi didn't even need to think about it. What's wrong with being a woman? There are women who have become presidents and prime ministers. There are also many female cadres, female leaders, and female heirs.

She said, "No matter if it's a man or a woman, anyone with the ability can take the lead. A country is like a family, and it's not uncommon for women to support a family."

Mrs. Wang was shocked by her simple words. No one had ever said this: Whoever has the ability can do it.

Mo Chenxi added, "Competent people should do what they are capable of, but I'm quite lazy. If I could just sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor without doing anything, I'd rather just lie back and enjoy the fruits of my labor while others worry about me."

The Queen Mother laughed again. Mrs. Mo did surprise her. At first she thought she was a peaceful woman who relied on men, but later she turned out to be a smart and capable woman.

She said that she was a woman with courage and ability who wanted to do things, but she said later that she wanted to do nothing and just lie down.

The word "lie flat" describes it well.

Perhaps it was because she had overworked and fallen seriously ill before, and she had let it go, but she had to force herself to continue planning for the sake of her livelihood.

It's interesting to listen to her speak, she's down-to-earth and has no empty words.

The Queen Mother asked, "If I could offer you the opportunity to lie down, what would you do?"

Mo Chenxi said, "Food given out of pity is not reassuring. Having it yourself is worse than having it from your parents. Even if your husband has it, you still have to ask for it. The freedom and self-respect I want still depend on myself."

The Queen Mother was almost applauding her, well said!

Be at ease, have self-respect, and rely on yourself.

Mo Chenxi added, "Of course, my family members helped me first. Otherwise, relying on myself alone would be empty talk. It's just that with the help of my family members, I have room to work hard."

The Queen Mother said, "I agree with this. Just like a confident daughter-in-law is given by her parents, and with her own efforts, she can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Some women, even if their parents give them confidence, will still toss themselves to the point of being useless."

Mo Chenxi thought that this was referring to her original self, the Mo family. She was obviously of higher status than the He family and was marrying down, but she ended up being suppressed by her husband's family and died after working hard for almost twenty years.

Suddenly, she heard a faint sigh in her heart.

Is this the original body?

She was unwilling to accept it. Why did she work so hard but end up like that?

The Queen Mother's words just now probably made her understand something, so she sighed.
