Mrs. He was not only stunned but also blushed when she was scolded by Old Lady He.

Her husband's concubine was like this, kneeling there with a delicate look, as if she couldn't kneel steadily, which made her husband feel distressed.

It turned out that I had subconsciously learned the behavior of a lowly concubine.

He Shi immediately stood up and said angrily, "Even if you are the He family's wife, this is the capital, and my brother is a fifth-rank official. How can you lecture me?"

Old Madam He walked over and slapped her. "I'm teaching you a lesson, so what? You're disobeying your elders and spouting nonsense. I can expel you from the clan, but what can you do to me?"

Mrs. Jiang saw her daughter covering her face and trying to rush forward, so frightened that she quickly stopped her and said, "Go home quickly, there is nothing for you to do here."

Since the aunt of the exiled clan had no family, the Gao family would not treat their daughter as a human being.

Of course He knew this, but she didn't believe that the old lady would dare to expel her from the family. However, she saw that her mother didn't seem to be pretending to stop her, so she used force.

She went down the slope and was pulled out of the house by her mother.

Madam Jiang escorted her daughter out the door and whispered, "Don't mess with that old hag. Your brother listens to her. She's the boss in Xiangzhou and everyone is afraid of her. She won't try to scare you. If she really wants to exterminate the clan, what are you going to do in the future?"

He said bitterly, "If Mother knew, why did she bring her to the capital?"

Madam Jiang said, "How could I have brought her here? She was the one who shamelessly insisted on following me. Otherwise, how could I have come back?"

He was unconvinced and said, "Then you come here and show off your power in our house? Isn't mother very powerful? Mother is also my sister-in-law, why don't you kick her out?"

Madam Jiang said, "How can I chase her away when she's only been here for two days? Wait a while. Help me figure out how to chase her away without your brother taking sides with her. Your eldest brother is also confused. I'm his biological mother, and he didn't say anything to me. He doesn't say anything back to that old hag. His last name is He, and he's the eldest son of the family. If he opens his mouth, how can that old hag stay in our house?"

He said, "My eldest brother is a coward. He only knows how to bully his relatives and doesn't dare to say a word to outsiders. Didn't he just spend a little money from Mrs. Mo? He grovels in front of Mrs. Mo. How can he be a man? Even being a fifth-rank official is looked down upon. Mother, let me tell you, the Mo family is very rich now. You should teach my eldest brother a lesson. Don't pretend to be noble like before. He is the son-in-law of the Mo family..."

Mrs. Jiang was excited when she heard that the Mo family was rich. She heard a sound behind her and turned around to see that it was her eldest son. She was so scared that she pushed her daughter and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you go back?"

When He saw her eldest brother coming towards her with a dark face, she turned and ran away.

Madam Jiang smiled at her son and said, "Your sister said that was all the Gao family's words. She even argued with her in-laws about it. But your sister has always been on your side."

He Wenyan thought today that his mother would definitely inform his second sister, so he couldn't sit still in the yamen and asked for leave to come back.

If my second sister talks nonsense, she will be laughed at by my aunt.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother pushing my second sister out. I thought, oh no, she must have gotten into trouble again.

He didn't want to face his second sister, so he quickly went into the lobby.

Then I heard my mother and second sister talking.

It turns out that this is how his second sister, whom he has always protected in front of his wife, sees him.

It turns out that in the second sister's mind, the Mo family is an outsider. Since they are outsiders, what does the Mo family's wealth have to do with her?

He is still teaching his mother. What is he teaching? He is just forcing him. He is the son-in-law of the Mo family.

My mother and second sister thought the same thing. It turned out that in their minds, I was the bargaining chip to control the Mo family?

He Wenyan asked, "Does mother really think so?"

What he meant by asking this question was that his mother was using him as a bargaining chip to control the Mo family.

Old Madam Jiang thought her son was asking about the fabricated statement her daughter had just made up, which was made up by a member of the Gao family.

She nodded and said, "I gave birth to my own child, don't I know? Your sister doesn't have that kind of heart. It was all instigated by the Gao family. Mother can distinguish between good and bad people. Doesn't that mean your sister can't leave after giving birth to a child for the Gao family? Otherwise, take her back and don't let her stay in that shameless Gao family."

He Wenyan didn't say anything else. The Mo family probably thought the same thing because Mo had given birth to a child. Otherwise, they would not let Mo stay in the He family. The He family and the Gao family would be equally shameless.

Seeing that her son didn't say anything, Mrs. Jiang thought that he believed what she said as usual, so she pushed her son in.

"I'm your biological mother, how could I harm you? Your second sister and your siblings, how could she slander you? You are the support of your second sister and the third brother. You are right to believe what mother says. Only brothers and sisters who are born of the same mother will be wholeheartedly loyal to you. No one else can be trusted."

If He Wenyan hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would have thought his mother was right. However, his second sister said this to him, and his mother didn't stop her, which showed that she had said this behind his back many times before.

Think about what he has been saying to Mrs. Mo for the past twenty years: it was not easy for my mother to raise us brothers and sisters, so we should be filial to her; my sister is pitiful, the only daughter of the He family, and as her brothers and sisters-in-law, we should take good care of her to make our mother feel at ease, which is also a filial piety to our elders.

Is this the mother and sister he protects?

He Wenyan suddenly stopped and slapped himself.

Madam Jiang was shocked and took her son's hand. "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the government? Did the Mo family offend someone and cause you trouble? I always say that the Mo family is not a good family. Good things never come to you, but they push the blame on you when they cause trouble.

"Is it easy for you to be an official? If you are doing well, they will benefit from it. But if you get into trouble, what good will it do them? Son, let me tell you, this is because they treat you as an outsider just because you don't have the same surname. You must remember what mother said. Only those with the surname He will not sell you out and will care about you."

He Wenyan looked at his mother sadly. He had heard such words from his mother too many times, and he gradually became alienated from the Mo family, thinking that the Mo family was profitable for him.

"Mother, it was my second sister. She used my name to stir up trouble outside and even went to Doctor Wu's house to spread nonsense, causing me to be demoted and sent to Tongzhou for more than half a year. My second sister didn't tell you? Later, my father-in-law asked someone to bring me back."

He said this on purpose, wanting to hear what his mother would say.

When Mrs. Jiang heard that it was her daughter who had caused trouble for her son, she scolded her in her heart, but she could not admit in front of her son that it was her daughter's fault.

"Your second sister said that she was trying to help you. Mrs. Mo is stupid and doesn't know how to do favors for others. Your second sister was anxious for her to come forward to help you, but she probably said the wrong thing. She also has good intentions, and so does Doctor Wu. If there are any misunderstandings, just talk to you about it. He is narrow-minded and holds grudges, so you must be on guard against him in the future. You see, outsiders won't help you. Although your second sister did something wrong with good intentions, it was also to help you. If Mrs. Mo could do it, why would she waste her energy? She works hard but gets no thanks and only offends people. Your second sister is straightforward and has no bad intentions. She is wholeheartedly doing this for our He family and for you. Don't listen to other people's nonsense. Your second sister will not hurt anyone who hurts you. She did something wrong with good intentions. Mother will tell you so you will understand. Later, let your second sister apologize to you. Mother will talk to her again. Just take care of yourself and don't meddle in your family's affairs. If Mrs. Mo finds out, she will hate her again. Good intentions are not rewarded. Your second sister is so stupid. She offends people for your sake. She is stupid."

He Wenyan was numbly pushed and dragged away by his mother.

It turned out that this was what he had heard before, and he had thought that his mother was worried about him.

When he spoke to Mrs. Mo, she would say a few words at first, but then she remained silent for the next few years.

What does Mrs. Mo think?

I think he is a fool, fooled by his mother and sister.
