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

Queen Mother Wang’s concubine sister was Yang Wangshi. A concubine’s daughter wouldn’t be ugly if she looked like her biological mother.

She and the Queen Mother were half-sisters, and when they were young, they didn't get along. However, she didn't know what her sister did. When she grew up, she only knew that her sister was someone who couldn't be mentioned in the family, and even after she became the Queen and the Queen Mother, she couldn't be mentioned either.

Once, she was showing off outside because she was the queen's younger sister, and was slapped a few times by her father.

Yang Wangshi no longer dared to rely on being the empress dowager's sister to be proud, and she would refuse any help her in-laws asked her to do.

She was excited to bring her daughter with her this time. She felt that she had the hope of becoming the emperor's "mother-in-law". Even if she was not legitimate, it would still be a huge fortune, and her son would be the one to benefit.

However, after arriving here, I met my eldest sister whom I hadn't seen for twenty years. She was so scary. How could my daughter have a good life as her daughter-in-law?

However, when she met the emperor, he smiled at his daughter and she felt hopeful again. As long as the emperor liked her, what could she do as his elder sister?

But no one mentioned this, and her grandfather just passed away, leaving her and her second uncle behind.

Yang Wangshi wondered, could it be that my second uncle's granddaughter would become the queen?

That’s good too, it’s good to have my cousins ​​in the palace to take care of me.

Fortunately, she never dared to think that her daughter could become the queen, and she had some self-awareness.

They lived in Wang Jingye's house. Yang Wang never dared to look down on her cousin, knowing that in her sister's heart, she was closer to her cousin than to her biological brother.

So every time Mrs. Wang came, she tried her best to curry favor with her.

When Mrs. Wang was in Guanzhong, she only saw them during the New Year and other festivals, or at family weddings and funerals, and she didn't have much contact with them on other days.

After they came to Beijing, she always came out of courtesy. However, the Empress Dowager's second uncle and aunt were gentle and kind to others, so she would stay and talk for a while, but she just didn't like Yang Wangshi.

She discussed this privately with her husband, wondering what the Queen Mother wanted to do with Yang Wang and her daughter.

Wang Jingye didn't know either. His cousin didn't tell him, so he didn't dare to ask.

Don't think that he talks about everything with his cousin, it's unimportant, or he will only tell her if his cousin asks him.

A few days later, Eunuch Liang met Wang Jingye and gave him a key and an address, saying that the Queen Mother asked him to pack up and that the house was for the Queen Mother's second uncle and aunt to live in, meaning that this branch of the Wang family would stay in Beijing.

The house was ready, and the servants were already there, so they just had to move in. A few days after they moved in, Wang Jingye learned that his great-uncle had passed away.

Fortunately, I didn’t die on the way and made it home.

Wang Jingye also had to mourn for five months.

After the Empress Dowager's family moved out, Mrs. Wang came back with her eldest daughter. Fortunately, her younger sister and two sisters-in-law gradually became familiar with each other.

Xiangxiang still lived in the Mo family, but she changed her clothes and did not eat meat openly. Old Mrs. Mo chopped the meat and made flatbreads with flour. She did not dare to cook meat directly, for fear that Xiangxiang was too young to tell others, so she told her to eat vegetarian flatbreads every day.

The people in Beijing would know about it, so the matter of selecting a queen would have to be delayed. Although the empress dowager and the emperor did not have to observe mourning, it would not be a good idea to carry out a high-profile selection of a queen when the empress dowager's grandfather had just passed away. Besides, the emperor was still young.

As for the candidate for the queen, some people speculated that it would be the granddaughter of the empress dowager's second uncle, but that was also a private discussion within the family.

This would delay Mo Chenxi's plan to have He Jingyi married off as soon as possible. Ordinary people didn't have the same rules as the national mourning, but she knew the empress dowager, and even those she didn't know, the wealthy and powerful families didn't hold weddings during this month.

It’s like in modern times, if there is a funeral in your colleague’s family, and you turn around and send wedding candies to other colleagues, saying that my daughter is getting married, that’s not appropriate.

So Mo Chenxi planned to postpone it until her daughter got married.

She didn't go back to the He family to live, but she couldn't not show up at all. She would go back to visit them in a few days with some snacks.

The look in He Wenyan's eyes when she looked at him was no longer one of anticipation, but of indifference. Perhaps because the dashing and charming image he was so proud of was gone, and he felt embarrassed in front of her, every time she went to him, he would close his eyes after a while.

Mrs. He said, "Wen Yan needs to rest, you should go back early."

Mo Chenxi wished it were this way, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable and the couple would become strangers from then on.

It’s hard for Mrs. He and the children.

Especially He Wenliang, who was running back and forth between home and outside the city. Mo Chenxi took Doctor An to see He Wenyan, who said that this was a mild case. He needed to take medicine well, stay calm, walk more and massage more, and he would be able to walk again in the future.

But He Wenyan was unwilling to get out of bed and let others see his ugly limping appearance. He only got out of bed to use the toilet, and he ate in bed all the time.

He Wenliang was anxious. His elder brother was not even forty yet and he couldn't spend the rest of his life paralyzed in bed.

She ordered the servants to help her eldest brother get out of bed, but her eldest brother sent them away. Mrs. He was so old, she couldn't bear the hardship any longer. Besides, she couldn't help He Wenyan.

He Wenliang had no choice but to hand over the farm to his second brother. He stayed at home every day. He ignored his eldest brother's scolding and refused to move when his eldest brother pushed him. He forcibly helped and carried his eldest brother out of bed. There was no one in the yard, so he supported his eldest brother and helped him walk slowly.

Every day I also have to massage the hemiplegic half of my brother's body.

Not only did he eat more, but he also fell asleep as soon as he lay down at night, completely neglecting his wife and children.

It’s not that He Shanluo doesn’t do these things, but he can’t treat his father like his third uncle does, so he has nothing to do in the He family. He Shanqiao also took a leave and came back, and the two of them started to look at each other.

Although He Shanqiao did not read books, he would recite them in his mind repeatedly every day. During the days when his cousin was seriously ill, he could not take out the textbooks. If others knew, they would say, "Your cousin is critically ill and like that, and you still have the mind to read textbooks?"

After that, he needed to recuperate and recover, so he could read textbooks. He and his cousin studied hard together. Fortunately, he took a month's leave and returned to the academy a month later.

He Jingyi was responsible for everyone's food, drink and daily necessities at home. The second and third wives moved out, taking some servants with them. Most of the people who stayed were sent by He Wenliang to grow flowers on the farm.

There aren't many people at home, so it's much easier than before. However, there's an old lady named Jiang who is a bit of a worry.

At this moment, He Jingyi deeply understood the difficulties her mother faced, and she also understood why her mother wanted to marry her off to the Zhao family, because Mrs. Zhao would be a good mother-in-law.

Old Mrs. Jiang is extremely difficult to serve, especially now that she was beaten by Xiangxiang's mother. She has lost three teeth, speaks with a lisp, and curses people every day.

He Jingyi didn't dare tell her mother, let alone her maternal grandparents. She didn't dare tell Old Mrs. He about her own grandmother either. She went back to her room and cried angrily.

Old Mrs. He knew everything that happened in the He family. In the current situation, she couldn't scold her cousin's wife anymore and could only comfort He Jingyi.

Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't go out. She was angry when her son became like this. She said in front of her son that he was incompetent and couldn't even keep his wife. Then she was kicked out by Old Mrs. He.

Old Mrs. Jiang said that her son and daughter-in-law were unreliable, and if her own daughter knew about it, she would definitely come back to serve her.

Mrs. He said, "Very well, I will personally go and fetch your daughter to serve you."
