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

Mo Chenxi was not polite this time. Since human life was involved, how could she remain silent?

"Who among you can guarantee that what happened today won't happen again? As an outsider, am I guaranteed to live here? I don't like the girl from the Cao family that Shanluo married. Do I dare to take her back? What if she has a miscarriage? And what about Jingyi's marriage? Can the dissatisfaction with the Zhao family be solved with just one medicine? In a family like this, can we, mother and son, still eat and drink in peace?"

"Do you know what I was thinking when I came back from Doctor Zhang? I was thinking, thank you for not killing me! It must be difficult for me to live until now, right? People can be a little confused and unreasonable, and children can be a little accommodating, but it's already like this, how can I be accommodating? How can I endure it any longer?"

He Wenyan said, "Maybe it's a misunderstanding?"

Mo Chenxi sneered and said, "Master said maybe, but he didn't dare to be sure. Well, then Master, please ask."

She walked to the door and sent someone to call Mrs. Jiang over, then said to He Wenpu and He Wenliang, "Let's hide for a while and see if it's a misunderstanding."

She went behind the bookcase, and He Wenpu and He Wenliang went into the inner room. He Wenyan had been living in the study for more than a year, and the inner room was where he slept.

After a while, Mrs. Jiang came and said as soon as she entered the door, "When a man gets old, he shouldn't run around. He's not used to the climate here. If something happens to him, how are we going to explain it to the ancestral home?"

Seeing his mother speaking calmly, He Wenyan thought his wife must be overthinking it and his mother was not that vicious.

He asked directly, "Is the medicine that mother gave my aunt croton or bezoar?"

He kept staring at his mother. If his mother was innocent, she would definitely be surprised.

However, the mother was stunned for a moment, then her eyes avoided and her expression was a little flustered.

"What did you say? What about drugging? Doctor Zhang came over and said it was clearly due to acclimatization. Your aunt also said that she had liver fire after coming to the capital."

He Wenyan listened to his mother's nonsense and sophistry. He had recorded so many cases, listened to them, and interrogated criminals and suspects. His mother was not a vicious habitual criminal, so she showed it all at once.

His heart felt like it had been hit by a sledgehammer.

"Mother, have you forgotten what your son does? Mother and aunt have been together in Xiangzhou for more than half a year. Although they don't live in the same house after returning, they live in the same courtyard. Mother must know what aunt's habits are. After aunt came to the capital, she kept drinking water because of her liver fire. She also drank cold water in the middle of the night, so mother put medicine in the cold water.

"Mother may not have slept all night. I thought the dark circles under her eyes this morning were due to my aunt's illness. Mother didn't want my aunt to live in the He family, so she suggested that she move to the farm. Mother would go with her and find a reason to come back when the time comes. That way, my aunt wouldn't follow her around and scold her all the time."

Seeing that her son had guessed everything, Madam Jiang still argued, "You're talking nonsense! How could I possibly drug her? She's bullying her superiors! This is her retribution!"

He Wenyan closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them and said, "Well, since Mother said so, I'll send people to investigate. There will always be clues. If it's someone else who did it, then report it to the police!"

Mrs. Jiang panicked because she still had some unused medicine in her room. How would she explain if it was found?

"It was your sister who said that if your aunt was sick, she wouldn't meddle in other people's business. I only bought some bezoars, and drinking the water soaked with them only gave me diarrhea. I didn't mean to kill anyone."

He Wenyan really wanted to ask his mother if she had done this before, but his wife was behind the bookcase, and he was afraid that he would not be able to accept it after asking.

Madam Jiang continued, "I've never done this before. It was your sister who told me about it when I went to see her the day before yesterday. I was forced into this situation. Your aunt scolded me whenever I opened my mouth to speak. Today, your aunt came, and she scolded me endlessly before I even said a word. Later, she didn't say a single nice word to your wife. How can I save face? I know this isn't right, so I thought I'd go to the farm with her and serve her well. As long as she stays there, I'll take care of her food and drink."

Mo Chenxi thought behind the bookcase, He Wenyan is not stupid. When she just said it, He Wenyan was able to understand why his mother did this and how she did it.

But he still wanted to speak. What was he going to do? Nothing more than to defend his mother.

That's it, he still wants to defend his mother. Now that he heard it with his own ears, does he feel good? This is the hardship of his mother, the hardship of many years.

Haha!

It’s not easy. She drugs anyone she doesn’t like. What a good mother!

Seeing her son's face full of sorrow but no anger, Mrs. Jiang said, "Mom, if you know you are wrong, you will never do it again. I will bear with what your aunt says."

She thought to herself that her brother-in-law and sister-in-law wouldn't stay here permanently anyway.

But how could I let my son know about this?

Think about it, it was Dr. Zhang that was found by my daughter-in-law, and I neglected him. I should have sent someone to find the doctor myself.

"Don't listen to what others say. Mom isn't that bad. I gave birth to you, and have you ever seen me make things difficult for anyone? I was forced to do this this time."

He Wenyan said, "Mother, there's no need to say anything more. Go back first."

He was afraid that his mother would continue talking, and if his wife rushed out again, wouldn't he be the one who would be embarrassed?

Madam Jiang said, "Don't tell your third brother. I was confused. I just wanted to scare your aunt. I didn't mean to do anything to her."

He Wenyan waved his hands weakly, and Mrs. Jiang left quickly.

Mo Chenxi came out first, followed by He Wenpu and He Wenliang.

He Wenpu felt very conflicted. If he proposed to divide the family now, his eldest brother would agree, but he would not get anything at this time.

If you think about it, the lives of your descendants are more important.

He Wenpu knelt down and said, "Brother, I have no problem with you and my third brother. I know you treat me like brothers from the same mother. However, I've always been timid and just want to live a peaceful life. Brother, I'm a concubine's daughter, so please send me off to live on my own. Even if others say I'm unfilial, I won't tell anyone about what happened today."

What he meant was that if the family didn't split up, he wouldn't guarantee that he would tell the truth, so he was using this as a threat to split up.

Mo Chenxi said nothing. She didn't want to get involved in the affairs between brothers. They were the eldest wife. Even if the three brothers separated, they would have to live together with Old Madam Jiang. That was why she had never thought about dividing the family.

He Wenliang said, "Let's just divide it all. The flower-growing business will be half for me and my elder brother. I don't want any family property. I will find a way to buy a house myself.

He wanted to separate only his second brother, but he couldn't tell anyone else about it. Besides, he couldn't stand it anymore and didn't want to stay in this family anymore.

He knew that his eldest sister-in-law must have made a decision after she said this. She had not been in charge of the family before, and if his second brother divided it out, only the third room would be left. If his mother turned against them again, he couldn't just stay at home and do nothing.

He Wenyan waved his hands weakly, "Let's divide it, while my aunt is here, let her be a witness."

Mo Chenxi then said, "Our eldest wife's house cannot be divided. If it weren't for my four children, I wouldn't stay and become the He family's daughter-in-law. But to save my life, I will ask my parents to buy another house, and I will move in. As for my children, they can live with me if they want. As long as they stay in the He family, they all have the surname He. You can drug them or poison them to death, they are your flesh and blood."

He Wenyan looked up at his wife, not with surprise, but with deep sadness.

The lady had wanted to leave this home for a long time, so she said this so calmly.
