Mo Chenxi wanted to laugh when she saw Old Madam He confronting Old Aunt Jiang and Old Madam Jiang's angry but unaware expression.

After Mrs. He finished scolding Aunt Jiang, she said to Mo Chenxi, "Niece-in-law, you must be tired after a day. Go back and rest."

Mo Chenxi answered yes and stepped back.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard Mrs. Jiang angrily say, "Can't you just talk properly?"

Mrs. He’s voice said, “Even if you speak nicely, someone must understand you!”

Then came Aunt Jiang's voice, "I've never seen a younger sibling dare to speak to the eldest sister-in-law like that."

It was Mrs. He's voice again. "You, the Jiang family, have no right to interfere in the affairs of my He family. Although I am your sister-in-law, I am the wife of the He family. If you care so much about your sister-in-law, you can take her back!"

Mo Chenxi suppressed his laughter and left quickly, intending to give his aunt a gift later.

Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she couldn't have a good talk with her daughter after she came back. When her daughter's family came, she couldn't have a good talk with them either.

I didn't dare let my sister-in-law take away the things I prepared for my mother's family, all because of that old hag, Mrs. He!

Old Mrs. He didn't necessarily want to be angry. It was her first time in Beijing, and summer was approaching, so she felt angry. She drank water all day and night, and even had to drink a glass of cold water when she got up in the middle of the night.

It feels like ten years ago when I lost my libido. It wasn't considered a disease then, but it's still like this at this age. Is it because of liver fire?

She thought of asking her niece-in-law to take her to see a doctor tomorrow, perhaps because she was suffering from acclimatization.

Old Mrs. He went to find Mo Chenxi.

Mo Chenxi was packing some jewelry, intending to give it to her aunt to take back to Xiangzhou. When she saw her aunt come in, she asked her to sit down and handed her the jewelry box.

"Aunt, these are all gifts from Xiangxiang's mother. Please take them back to your sister-in-law and niece."

Old Mrs. He joked, "Is this a thank-you gift for me?"

Mo Chenxi also joked: "Yes, I am really grateful to my aunt. The past few days when my aunt was here were the most comfortable days I had. I really wish my aunt could live with me forever."

Mrs. He said, "I don't know why. I'm not like this at home. But here I am, my mouth is dry all day long. When I hear your mother-in-law talking, the fire rushes to my throat. I don't have to scold her, I really can't help it. I wonder if there is something wrong with my body?"

Mo Chenxi also thought that this was very similar to the symptoms of menopause, but it seemed that her aunt was already past the menopausal age.

Old Mrs. He lowered her voice and said, "This is what happens when a woman stops menstruating. It will be fine after two years. But it's not right for me. I want my niece to take me to see a doctor tomorrow and get some medicine."

Mo Chenxi said, "Dr. Zhang, who has been treating me for many years, lives not far from here. His wife is also good at gynecology. I will take my aunt there tomorrow."

Old Mrs. He went back to the house without telling Old Mrs. Jiang. Seeing that she didn't leave the house, she thought that she had made her very angry in the past two days and she definitely didn't want to see her.

Before going to bed at night, she sat on the bed and rubbed her feet, which was her daily routine. She heard no movement in her cousin's room and wondered if she had gone out.

Then I lay down and fell asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty. I walked to the table in a daze, picked up the cup of water, drank it in one gulp, and lay down to continue sleeping.

I don’t know when I fell asleep, but my stomach started to hurt. I quickly got up and went to the toilet. There was a foul, fishy smell.

Vomited again.

Old Mrs. He thought to herself that he really couldn't adapt to the local climate.

Seeing that it was still dark, she didn't want to disturb others. After a while, her stomach cramps came again, and she went to the toilet again.

By daybreak, she was almost exhausted and her stool was full of water.

Old Mrs. He kept humming, and it was only when Old Mrs. Jiang got up and entered her room that she covered her nose and shouted for someone to come.

When Mo Chenxi heard Mother Wang say that her aunt was ill, she hurried over. Old Madam He said weakly, "Maybe she had an upset stomach. She said yesterday that she wanted to see a doctor. It's too early to say anything."

She even gave a wry smile.

Mo Chenxi sent someone to invite Doctor Zhang. She was so anxious to wipe the sweat from Old Madam He's forehead that she didn't notice that Old Madam Jiang's expression changed.

Doctor Zhang came, took my pulse, and said, "Qi is stagnant and phlegm is accumulated. The stagnant qi has transformed into fire. You have eaten a lot of cold foods."

He asked what he had eaten in the past two days and shook his head, "It shouldn't be."

Mo Chenxi said, "Could it be because of acclimatization? My aunt just arrived in the capital not long ago."

Doctor Zhang said, "It's possible. Didn't Wei Jie die from not being able to adapt to the climate in the south after traveling from the north?"

He prescribed a prescription and told me to take it for a day and see how it goes.

Mo Chenxi quickly sent someone to follow Doctor Zhang to get the medicine.

Madam Jiang showed a look of concern and said, "I think it's best to go to the village. Wen Liang said there are flowers there, and it will make you feel better. I will go with my sister-in-law."

Mrs. He thought her cousin's wife thought the room smelled bad from her vomiting and diarrhea, so she nodded and said, "Take the medicine first and see if you feel better. I'll go when you feel better."

Mo Chenxi glanced at her mother-in-law. Was she really kind?

All three of He Wenyan's brothers came, and no one thought much of it. Everyone gets sick, especially old lady He at her age.

Old Madam Jiang suggested that her son live in the farm, and since she would accompany him, no one would have any bad thoughts.

Mo Chenxi felt that her mother-in-law had bad intentions, so she went directly to the Zhang Family Clinic to see Doctor Zhang and asked directly, "Doctor Zhang, is my aunt's acclimatization caused by human factors?"

Doctor Zhang looked at her without saying anything. Mo Chenxi understood that Doctor Zhang had seen it when he was treating the patient, but he just didn't say it in front of the He family.

But at that time, I said something very cold.

She said softly, "I am able to survive, thanks to her for not killing me."

Mo Chenxi felt that she was also in menopause, and she was burning with anger, with anger rising to her throat.

When she returned to the He family, He Wenyan did not go to the yamen, but took leave to take care of the sick. He Wenpu and He Wenliang were both there.

She called the three He brothers to the study and told them the situation.

"Auntie got up in the middle of the night to drink a glass of cold water. People living with me would know this! It's not that I'm being suspicious just because Auntie said a few more words. I've also had the same inexplicable acclimatization a few times before. If this family doesn't need me anymore, who would know how I died?"

He Wenyan wanted to speak, but Mo Chenxi stared at him and said, "If you want to say anything, think it over before you speak. You've been recording various cases in the Ministry of Personnel for many years, and you also investigated a homicide case in Tongzhou. After I asked Doctor Zhang, don't you have any idea?"

He Wenyan didn't dare to look directly at his wife, and thought to himself, why would my aunt bother me when she knew what my mother was like?

The lady didn't even try to persuade her aunt at home.

He Wenliang felt a chill in his heart. If someone dared to drug someone and cause them to vomit and have diarrhea today, would he dare to kill them tomorrow?

He Wenpu was scared to death. He refused to let his wife be the housekeeper no matter what. His stepmother had always regarded their second branch as a thorn in her side. Now that his aunt had come, his stepmother had not taken care of her. If she saw her illegitimate son's wife being the housekeeper, she would harm his wife again.
