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

At the He family, after Old Madam He and Mo Chenxi left, Old Madam Jiang packed up some things and followed them out.

She went to Gao's house to visit her granddaughter and grandson.

Send some medicinal herbs brought from Xiangzhou to my in-laws.

She was afraid that her family would find out, so she didn't tell anyone. Even if Bao and Fan could guess where she went, what could they do to her?

When Fan heard that the maidservants following her mother-in-law were carrying large and small bags, she also sent someone to deliver the gifts given to her by Old Lady He back to her parents' home.

Bao also secretly sent someone to send him back to her mother's home. She had a younger brother there, and she tried to curry favor with her stepmother in the hope that her younger brother could live a better life there.

Mother Wang did not go out with the lady, but told everything to the grandmother. Cao Yue'e was not polite and also sent someone to send a copy back to her parents' home.

Old Madam Jiang was also angry with the Gao family, but she was the one who chose this in-law. Her two sons were unwilling at the beginning, but she insisted on having her own way.

Who knew that after her son-in-law passed the imperial examination, there would be no further news, and her daughter gave birth to two daughters in a row. In order to make her daughter's life easier in her husband's family, Mrs. Jiang kept subsidizing her daughter and putting on a smile for her in-laws.

Later it became a habit. Besides, my daughter really can't do things, she is talkative and not smart enough, so she is always being cheated by her sister-in-law.

Old Madam Jiang knew all about it, but she was the only daughter she gave birth to. After her husband passed away, only her own daughter was with her day and night. If she didn't love her daughter, how could she expect her son to be considerate of her?

Isn't it the same for the Mo family to constantly subsidize the He family in order to make her daughter and granddaughter's life better?

She did nothing wrong.

When they arrived at the Gao family, Mrs. Gao treated Mrs. Jiang more warmly than ever before.

Yesterday, Old Mrs. Gao learned that her mother-in-law had returned to Beijing. Her daughter-in-law came back from her parents' home with a grim expression on her face. She said that a cousin had come to the ancestral home, but she didn't say anything else.

She thought it was a relative who came with her in-laws to ask for money.

Old Madam Gao is the one who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. Even though she treats He badly, she is always affectionate in front of her mother-in-law.

Knowing that the Mo family has such connections, she has to be even warmer to her mother-in-law, because she knows that she can control her daughter-in-law's eldest brother.

Madam Jiang had a dark mind and was not cunning. She treated anyone who flattered her as a confidant. She was always overwhelmed by her mother-in-law's praise.

It was only when I got home that I realized that my mother-in-law said this and that were fine, so why was she not nice to her daughter-in-law?

But if you ask her to question her face to face, everything her mother-in-law says is good for her daughter-in-law, and she only teaches her a lesson when her daughter-in-law does something wrong or says something wrong.

Old Lady Gao once again showered Old Lady Jiang with praise, praising her for her discernment in choosing a good daughter-in-law. It was the Empress Dowager's cousin who had helped the Mo family build the restaurant, and the distinguished guests who had come to open it, as well as General Xue's sister-in-law's wedding, had all been invited to the wedding banquet.

Moreover, the master of the He family's eldest grandson is the brother of the Empress Dowager's cousin's wife, and the nobles are about to break down the Mo family's doorstep.

Old Madam Jiang was confused. No one told her these things after she came back.

She opened her mouth and said, "Oh no, my cousin who came with me today is going to visit the Mo family, and I should go with them."

Old Madam Gao cursed her mother-in-law in her heart as a fool, but smiled and said, "I know that my mother-in-law puts our Gao family first, and I always put my mother-in-law first. How about this, tomorrow I will accompany my mother-in-law to the Mo family. After all, my Gao family and the Mo family are also in-laws. It will be a face for you to take me with you, right?

"Only relatives should help each other. Our three families are of similar status. If we prosper together, we all prosper. We should stick together so that others can't bully the Mo family."

Madam Jiang said, "You are right, my dear. If it weren't for my son, a fifth-rank official, supporting us all these years, who would care about the retired Mo family?"

Old Lady Gao said, "My mother-in-law is a sensible person who sees things clearly. I hope the Mo family will appreciate this. I feel sorry for my mother-in-law. Logically, the Mo family should have come to visit her as soon as they knew she had returned to Beijing. However, my mother-in-law has always been generous, which I admire. I don't care about those things. After all, I am simple-minded and don't play tricks. I am sincere to everyone. Just like me, my mother-in-law, I was going to visit you this morning, but my grandson suddenly had a fever, so I was delayed. Look, the fever has just subsided, and I was so busy that I didn't even eat."

He rolled her eyes beside her. Her mother-in-law's ability to talk nonsense was getting worse and worse. She had spent the whole morning eating melon seeds with her sister-in-law and laughing at other people's gossip.

Old Madam Jiang went to her daughter's yard to see her grandchildren again, and spoke to her daughter alone, asking what was going on.

He exaggerated the situation, saying that the Mo family now has eyes on her, and her eldest brother obeys Mo's orders and does not allow her to enter her parents' home.

As for her taking her mother-in-law to the Mo family restaurant for dinner, it was said that she was supporting the Mo family. The Mo family had met a noble person and looked down on the He family, so they found someone to verbally insult her and the He family.

"I'm just wondering, what good does this do to the Mo family? Do they feel proud to slap Big Brother in the face? Could it be that the Mo family is thinking of marrying up after Big Brother's divorce? A noble man is not blind. Would he give up a young girl for an old and ugly woman?"

Madam Jiang thought of what Mrs. Mo said about divorce yesterday and gnashed her teeth, saying, "She's dreaming! I'm a member of the He family in life and a ghost of the He family in death! Even if we get divorced, the child will still be part of my He family!"

At this point, her old lady asked again who was the matchmaker for Shanluo's marriage, and why he chose a woman who had lost her mother?

He said, "It was my eldest sister-in-law who found her. Mother, you don't know Jingyi is also engaged, right? She's engaged to Doctor Zhao's second son, who didn't even pass the imperial examination. Wasn't my eldest sister-in-law always close to Madam Zhao? And then Madam Zhao introduced the Cao family."

Madam Jiang said, "Since Madam Zhao is talking about the Cao family, why doesn't she tell her son about the Cao family? Isn't this clearly a trap for our He family? How can your brother be so stupid and listen to Madam Mo's orders?"

He said: "This was decided when my brother sent my mother back to Xiangzhou."

Madam Jiang slammed the table and said angrily, "You don't even respect your mother-in-law, and you don't even respect your husband? Shanluo is already married, so there's nothing we can do about it. I told your eldest brother that Jingyi's marriage is invalid. Find Jingyi a new marriage. I don't believe it can be worse than the Zhao family."

He then said, "The Mo family also hopes that their granddaughter will marry a good relative. Mother will go to the Mo family tomorrow and tell them directly."

She thought for a moment and said, "My nephew is at a disadvantage by marrying a girl from the Cao family. Mother should choose carefully. When that Cao gets pregnant, I'll arrange for someone else. If she doesn't get pregnant in six months, I can use this as an excuse to find a second wife."

Madam Jiang nodded repeatedly, "You're right, but we have to wait until your aunt leaves. Please help me think of a way to kick your aunt out."

He said, "This is difficult. If someone comes to the He family's ancestral home and doesn't live there, where else can they live? She just arrived and it's impossible for her to leave right away."

Madam Jiang said with a gloomy face, "It makes me upset to see her like this. I'm the eldest sister-in-law and she's the younger sister-in-law, but she scolds me whenever she wants. Just listen to what she said the other day. Even your mother-in-law couldn't stop her in front of her."

He said, "What if she's sick? At her age, how can she still act so powerful if she's sick?"

Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes when she heard this.
