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

Chapter 221: Conferred the title of Madam Xiaozhang

Old Mrs. He also regretted that she had targeted her cousin's wife as soon as she arrived, saying that she wanted to correct the family tradition of the He family in Beijing, and her selfish motive was to stand on the side of the Mo family.

For the benefit of my own family, especially for the future of my grandson.

She knew that she had offended her eldest nephew. No matter how bad her cousin's wife was, she was still her eldest nephew's biological mother. Who would be willing to point at their own mother and curse her?

Now that the He family has become like this and her eldest nephew has become like this, she feels guilty.

So she moved back to take care of him.

The ridiculous thing is that the eldest nephew still hopes for her return. If she's not sick, it's fine, but she has chest pain. If he lets her come back, isn't he really afraid that the Mo family will relegate him to the bottom? They've already given him a rank of seventh grade for their grandson's sake. Does he really think that marrying a Mo family girl means he can control the Mo family?

Doesn’t the Mo family feel sorry for their daughter?

Old Mrs. He felt heartbroken for Mrs. Mo. Just like that, her eldest nephew had never considered that Mrs. Mo's body could not withstand the ordeal, and was still hoping that she would return to her husband's family who could take her life at any time.

The second and third sons' wives were pregnant, and regardless of whether it was true or not, they still knew how to protect their wives. But how could the eldest nephew ever show any consideration for Mrs. Mo?

Old Mrs. He stood at the door and heard her eldest nephew, who spoke incoherently, say to Shanluo, "Please...your mother..."

Old Mrs. He felt a little guilty and her heart turned cold.

He Shanluo saw the expectation in his father's eyes, and he mustered up the courage to say, "Mom's body can't stand the shock or the fatigue. I will take good care of you."

He avoided her gaze and thought to himself that he had disappointed his father after all.

He couldn't believe it when he heard his father utter those three words.

What the father said was: "Unfilial...son."

He Shanluo looked at his father in shock.

My father has always been filial to my grandmother in the face of her tyranny. Why is it that I am unfilial if I am considerate of my mother?

Why couldn't so many people stay to take care of his father? His great-aunt was there, as were his second and third uncles, and he and his older sister. Why did his mother, who was ill and suffering from chest pain, have to come back to take care of him?

For a moment, the image of his father in He Shanluo's mind collapsed. In his mind, his father was great, upright, and selfless.

But now his father said he was an unfilial son because he refused to ask his mother to come back, and there was resentment in his eyes.

He Shanluo said softly: "Mother is ill, it's a heart disease."

He Wenyan said: "She... is... the eldest daughter-in-law."

He Shanluo said, "Father, you respect and care for my grandmother, so why can't I respect and care for my mother? My mother suffers from chest pain. Does Father know what chest pain is?"

He Shanluo cried. It wasn't that he had to say this at this time, but he was too sad for his mother.

Cao was experiencing severe pregnancy symptoms, vomiting everything she ate. Her mother personally cooked for her. Cao felt bad, but her mother said pregnancy was the hardest part for women, and she wished someone had taken care of her when she was pregnant with her four children.

Although she didn't say much, He Shanluo could hear the loneliness in his mother's words. He could imagine that his mother had to honor her grandmother, take care of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and his father's concubine.

Cao shed tears and told him that if she was so miserable and had to watch him being affectionate with his concubine, and she didn't want to have a child, she would rather not get married for the rest of her life.

He Shanluo had never spoken to his father like this before, thanks to the fact that he studied with Mr. Nie, who never beat around the bush in his speech, and gradually he was influenced by him.

My husband once said: If you don’t say something, will it get moldy in your heart? If it is right, it is right. If it is wrong, you should tell the other party, otherwise the other party will think you agree.

Old Mrs. He was crying at the door. It was not worth it to cry for Mrs. Mo. No wonder she felt so disappointed.

Fortunately, her son can understand her.

My eldest nephew has three concubines. Sun’s child is young, so the other two come to serve her.

She said to He Shanluo, "It's not convenient for you since my father and I are here. You'd better go out."

Mo Chenxi lives alone, which is equivalent to house arrest. Her husband had a stroke, and she refused to go home, using the excuse of having a heart disease, so she is even less allowed to go out.

All the children have gone back, including the two younger ones. Shankun has taken leave, and Yinhua has no job to do, so he has to go back too.

She took good care of Cao.

When Old Lady Cao came, she was also very sorry. She had brought her granddaughter back to the Cao family to support her, but it also caused trouble for Mrs. Mo.

At that time, we didn't know she was sick, and now we have a patient taking care of our granddaughter.

Old Mrs. Cao sent over six people to help.

Mrs. Wang also felt guilty after hearing about it, because she had beaten Lord He's mother and had Lord He demoted. Who knew that Lord He was so vulnerable and had a stroke.

Wouldn't this cause trouble for Mrs. He?

So she came to see Mo Chenxi and gave her a bunch of gifts.

Wang Jingye felt embarrassed, so he went to see Queen Mother Wang and asked two palace maids to take care of Madam He.

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "How useless! What's a man?"

I'm talking about He Wenyan.

"Xiangxiang's mother cried until her eyes were swollen. She said it was because of her that Madam He was implicated."

Wang Jingye sighed, "My aunt has a heart disease. She gave birth to my cousin, and my uncle didn't let her have another one because he was afraid..."

The Queen Mother remembered her cousin's aunt, who was always gentle and soft-spoken. Whenever her cousin returned to her maternal grandparents' home, he would walk slowly, fearing to disturb her.

Later, my cousin's uncle brought his aunt to live in the farm for peace and quiet.

This was one of the few loving couples the Queen Mother had ever seen, and neither man took a concubine and had children just because his wife was sick.

Queen Dowager Wang summoned Eunuch Liang. "Imperial decree, conferring upon the eldest daughter of the Mo family, Madam Mo, the title of Madam Xiaojie, and a fifth-rank attendant of the Imperial Hospital, to serve as assistant to Imperial Physician An. She does not need to enter the palace every day."

Not only Eunuch Liang was stunned, but Wang Jingye was also stunned.

The Queen Mother said, "Mrs. Mo's contribution to the alcohol recipe has been verified by the imperial physician. She has made a great contribution to the soldiers on the front lines of our Great Yan State and has saved countless people in our Great Yan State. Mrs. Mo's filial piety to her mother-in-law is a model of a virtuous daughter-in-law and wife, and is worthy of emulation by other women."

Wang Jingye felt that his cousin conferred the title of Lady Xiaojie on Mo not only because of these reasons, but more importantly, it would allow Mo to enter the palace freely in the future.

What does my cousin want to do in the future?

I dare not guess or ask.

Mo Chenxi received Eunuch Liang inexplicably and accepted the imperial edict with a confused look on his face.

Is she the fifth-rank Lady Xiaojie?

Just because of the alcohol recipe?

She was definitely asked by Wang Dongjia to come here for her, after all, she was in a difficult situation because of the Wang family's affairs.

In this way, no one would say that she was unfilial for not returning to the He family. Who would dare to say that Lady Xiaojie, who was conferred the title by the court, was unfilial?

But why was she given a position in the Imperial Hospital? Could it be that she was going to be a midwife in the future?

She doesn't know how to do this, so she'll find a chance to explain it to Mrs. Wang.

The news that Old Madam Jiang was beaten and her imperial edict was taken away, and that He Wenyan was demoted, did not spread throughout the capital. All people knew was that Old Madam Jiang was ill and Lord He had taken leave to take care of her.

But everyone knew about Mo Chenxi's ban at once.

No woman had been named Lady Xiaojie for a hundred or two hundred years. What's more, Mo was not a prominent woman. Her husband's family had no background, and her own family had no background either. She only became famous because she met the Empress Dowager's family.

But this glory is false. The title of Lady Xiaojie of the fifth rank is real and can be recorded by historians.

Mo Chenxi was unable to hold a banquet due to a heart disease, but the maids around her kept sending her gifts.

The Zhao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were the first to arrive. Mrs. Zhao looked at Mo Chenxi as if she didn't know her.

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Congratulations, Madam Mo."
