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

When Mo Chenxi heard Old Madam He say this, she felt that she was better than Old Madam Jiang.

First of all, she knew her own identity, not that she knew the other party's high status, so her eyes lit up. If it were Old Madam Jiang, she would be so happy that she would not even consider whether there were any problems with the candidate.

She added, "If you're talking about General Xue's second brother's concubine daughter, then her elder sister's in-laws are from the Prince of Weixing's mansion."

Old Mrs. He was even more frightened. Their branch of the He family was in Xiangzhou, and He Wenyan was a high-ranking official to them. When she heard about General Xue's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, both of which were high-ranking mansions, she would be lying if she wasn't moved that her grandson could marry into such a family.

Then I thought again it was impossible, or the candidate was wrong.

Mrs. He said, "I'll ask Shanqiao about this later."

Then she sincerely thanked Mo Chenxi, "My son Shanqiao said that after he came here, you took care of him. Not only did you take him back to your parents' home, but you also asked Shanluo to go to the school frequently to bring him food. I am here to trouble you again. I really want to thank you very much."

Mo Chenxi said, "Aunt, you are too polite. After all, we have the same ancestor. You can't write two He characters with one stroke. Shanqiao is a sensible child. Every time he comes back, he buys some food. I admire Aunt for raising her grandson so well."

Mrs. He smiled with pride and said modestly, "How can I say that my niece-in-law is so good? She's just being obedient. Your family is honest and lucky, and you married a good daughter-in-law."

She took out a banknote and said, "Even though we both have the surname He, we are two families after all. It's not that I have to be so formal. Your mother-in-law is a person who wants to take advantage of her and hers. She may plot against me in any way. Take this. It will make me feel comfortable living here and she will be more considerate."

Mo Chenxi thought to herself, this is a smart old man who knows how to deal with Madam Jiang.

Old Madam Jiang was eating and drinking with her aunt in Xiangzhou, so when her aunt came to Beijing, she threw some silver notes to shut Old Madam Jiang up.

Mo Chenxi said, "I haven't taken care of the accounts for more than a year. It's my second brother and his wife who have been working hard."

Old Madam He put away the banknotes. "I'll tell my second niece-in-law later that she should tell you to take good care of yourself and the children, and not to see or hear anything else, or she'll be furious. I'm a generation older than you, and old people tend to talk a lot, so I'll just say this: some people are just pushing things too far and need to be disciplined. You treat her like a human being, but she takes advantage of you. You don't treat her like a human being, but she acts like a grandson in front of you."

Mo Chenxi almost laughed out loud. She was talking about Old Madam Jiang. It seemed that her mother-in-law had caused a lot of trouble in the ancestral home.

It is estimated that Mrs. He looked up to her and treated her sincerely at first, but later she saw her true face and gave her a good beating.

Otherwise, Mrs. Jiang would be a little worried about Mrs. He.

Old Mrs. He first explained to Mrs. Mo, the mistress of the He family in Beijing, that I am not here to ask for money, but because my daughter-in-law let the cat out of the bag and caused your mother-in-law to come back early, I followed her here.

One is to help you suppress her, and the other is because my grandson's marriage to a wealthy family, even if it fails, will show that my grandson is better than the descendants of your He family.

When I met my grandson alone and heard what he said, I was shocked.

At the wedding banquet at General Xue's house, the Mo family was the guest of honor. At the opening of the Mo family restaurant, only the powerful and influential people came, and General Xue's second brother even went.

Thinking about how he was so proud in front of Mrs. Mo just now, Mrs. Mo smiled gently without showing a trace of disdain.

Old Madam He used to look down on the He family in Beijing, but now she has to say that the old Madam Jiang, whom she looked down upon, is lucky to have a good daughter-in-law.

But she is not lucky. Such a good daughter-in-law is nothing in her eyes.

He Shanluo also said that his cousin Shanluo's master was the younger brother of the Empress Dowager's cousin's wife, the eldest son of a wealthy family, and the son-in-law and closed disciple of Xiao Daru. His cousin also took him to meet him.

Old Mrs. He's heart was pounding. She didn't know who Xiao Daru was, but to be called a Daru, one had to be a great man admired by others and a learned person.

No wonder Mrs. Mo didn't show any envy or jealousy when she heard that Shanqiao could marry into the Xue family.

She cursed in her hometown dialect: "That old fellow, he doesn't know how to appreciate the blessing he has."

I thought to myself, if my daughter-in-law is like this, I have to worship her.

She asked her grandson, "Have you ever seen the daughter of the Xue family?"

He Shanqiao shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it. Classmate Xue said that her cousin's aunt died early, and she grew up with her stepmother. Classmate Xue said that he would tell my family after I passed the imperial examination."

Old Mrs. He knew that her grandson would die this year.

If your registered residence is in Xiangzhou, you have to go back to take the exam.

It would be great if I could move my household registration to the capital. I’ll go ask my cousin about it later.

Old Madam Jiang was angry with her eldest son.

"You didn't even tell me about such a big thing, and you didn't even wait for me to get married. As a grandmother, how can I save face if I'm not present at my eldest grandson's wedding? Did you invite your uncle?"

He Wenyan answered directly: "No."

Madam Jiang became even more furious and slammed the table, saying, "You don't even take your mother seriously! Do you know that your uncle is the most important?"

He Wenyan asked, "Why did you go to Xiangzhou, mother? Don't you think my uncle has caused enough trouble for the He family?"

Madam Jiang lowered her voice, "He's your uncle, too. Besides, if your uncle didn't come to such a big event as Shanluo's wedding, wouldn't outsiders laugh at you?"

He Wenyan said, "My son's uncle is here, who would laugh at me?"

Old Madam Jiang was choked by her son's words. In the past, it was always her youngest son who argued with her, but now that her eldest son was doing this to her, where would she put her face as a mother?

She burst into tears and beat her chest while crying.

"Why am I so miserable, raising a bunch of unfilial sons? Why doesn't God take me away? Is God letting me live to see my sons being unfilial?"

He Wenyan knelt down helplessly.

At this time, Old Madam He came in and said with a sullen face, "Why are you howling? You've ruined all your good fortune. You howled all the time in Xiangzhou, and now you're back you're still howling! No wonder your son Wen Yansheng can't get promoted. It's all because of you. Aren't you afraid that others will say you're a jinx?"

Madam Jiang stopped howling immediately and angrily said, "You are talking nonsense! You are the one who is unlucky! My son is a fifth-rank official, and your son is just farming in the countryside and is nothing."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. When He Wenyan heard his aunt say that his mother was wary of him, he thought about it and realized that it was true. No wonder he worked so diligently and treated people sincerely. Doctor Wu had always appreciated him, and his father-in-law had done a lot to win his favor behind the scenes. However, he was only promoted to the fifth rank and was even demoted last time.

It's all because of his mother.

When Old Lady He heard what Old Lady Jiang said, she didn't get angry. She sneered and said, "No wonder the old saying goes that the immorality of the elderly will bring trouble to their descendants."

She then said to He Wenyan, "I'm not the one who's insulting your mother. Back in Xiangzhou, your mother spoke ill of your wife from your parents-in-law's family. She even said that if it weren't for her kindness, she would have let you divorce your wife and marry someone from a higher-class family. There are some who are more prestigious than the Mo family and would have liked you. The He family tradition is not to abandon their wives or mistreat their daughters-in-law. How come you forgot your ancestral teachings when you came to the capital?"

"Although we are not from the same clan, and I am still the younger brother's sister, we are not separated. I have to take care of anything that discredits the He family tradition! How will the descendants of the He family marry wives and daughters in the future? If they don't like the daughter-in-law of Shanluo, do they have to divorce her and marry someone else?

"As an official of the imperial court and the eldest son of the He family, how dare you allow your mother's evil intentions to corrupt your branch of the He family? Are you worthy of the future your grandmother risked her life for? If your grandmother knew that your branch of the He family was destroyed by the daughter-in-law she chose, would she jump out of her coffin and slap herself in the face?"

He Wenyan was humiliated by his aunt's scolding. He no longer thought about his mother's difficulties, but thought that his future and the descendants of his He family were affected by his mother's immorality.
