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

Doctor Zhang was called into the He family again and was speechless.

No wonder my wife is Mrs. Jiang and she is a nuisance.

This time it was the disaster who fainted.

When he saw his mother faint, he immediately rushed over and burst into tears, "Mom! Mom! Don't scare me, I'll go and ask my sister-in-law to come back!"

She thought that no one knew what she said to her mother. First, the maid who served Old Madam Jiang heard it at the door, then the people sent by Old Madam He heard it, and He Jingyi also sent people to eavesdrop.

He Shanluo ran quickly to find Doctor Zhang. Old Mrs. He and the others didn't care about anything else. She pinched her cousin's philtrum with all her might.

No one paid attention to He. She turned around and ran out very fast. She wanted to find her sister-in-law.

I went to my eldest sister-in-law's house and knelt at the door crying, "Sister-in-law! My mother fainted. She kept saying she wanted to see you. She treats you like a mother and daughter. You can't just ignore her, sister-in-law?"

Zhou was shaking with anger in the courtyard when she heard this. She wanted to rush out, but her sister-in-law Li held her back and whispered, "Don't cause trouble for my elder sister. I'm going out."

Li was the daughter of a scholar. Her father was a juren. She had been studying since childhood and had a gentle personality.

She walked out, took out her handkerchief at the door, and wiped her eyes when she saw He.

"Her Second Aunt, please keep your voice down. Madam Xiaojie just took the medicine and lay down. If we disturb her, neither you nor I will be in trouble."

First of all, let me make it clear that your sister-in-law is Madam Xiaojie who moved out of the He family due to illness. Everyone knows about this. What do you want to do by running here crying and shouting as your sister-in-law?

He is no longer the same as before. She will be humble and submissive to others, but she is used to being arrogant in her parents' home, so she mostly behaves in a humble manner in her husband's home.

She lowered her voice but continued to sob, "Her second aunt, I know I've disturbed my eldest sister-in-law, but my mother couldn't eat or sleep because of my eldest sister-in-law. She fainted without saying a word to me, and now she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. Her second aunt, I beg you, I know my eldest sister-in-law doesn't like me, and I've embarrassed her. My husband didn't even pass the imperial examination. I only ask my eldest aunt to have pity on my mother..."

Some of the neighbors next door came out and whispered to each other.

"My sister-in-law has already knelt down, but Madam Xiaojie still hasn't come out."

"How can a person be like this? Everyone marries a Jinshi? How many people can't even pass the Tongsheng exam? Are they going to die?"

Li was not angry. She said to He, "Second Aunt, you are wrong to say that. If Madam Xiaojie doesn't like someone, it's definitely not because of whether he is a scholar or not. Isn't the man my eldest niece is going to marry also a tongsheng?"

Mo Chenxi had just moved in not long ago, and the people around didn't know which family He Jingyi had chosen. After hearing what Li said, she nodded again, "She can't be that snobbish person to be named Madam Xiaojie by the court."

Li continued, "Madam Xiaojie said that the most important thing about a person is his moral character, followed by his talent. The imperial court also values ​​moral character when selecting talents, otherwise how could someone be demoted or dismissed from office? A scholar has a hundred virtues, but virtue comes first. You must have heard this saying, right?"

This implied that He Wenyan was immoral. He blushed and others whispered to each other.

"Her second aunt, you were raised in a family of scholars. Your grandfather was a Jinshi (academic scholar) and your father was a Juren (academic scholar). You understand these things even without me explaining them. How could you say that Madam Xiaojie looks down on your husband because he is a Tongsheng (academic scholar)? If an outsider said this, it would be fine. After all, they don't know Madam Xiaojie. But you are Madam Xiaojie's younger aunt. Madam Xiaojie treated you like her own sister and even gave you her own dowry. What is your intention in saying this to Madam Xiaojie?"

He had met Li several times but they had never spoken. Seeing Li as weak and gentle, she thought she was easy to bully. However, she didn't expect that her words were as sharp as knives, and every word hit the point.

She was educated and could understand everything Li said, but she couldn't speak. When she was little, her mother told her that since she didn't have to take the imperial examinations, it was okay for her to be able to read and write, not blind.

Studying is such a hard thing, and He didn't want to work hard, so he didn't study hard.

She had no way to refute what Li said, so she could only say, "Her second aunt, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. I just wanted to ask my eldest sister-in-law not to look down on me, the sister who married an incompetent man."

Li's face was filled with anger as she spoke, "Then why are you doing this now? You know Madam Xiaojie has a heart disease and can't stand being frightened, yet you're kneeling here crying and making a fuss. Are you trying to force Madam Xiaojie to death? Are you trying to get Madam Xiaojie to give you the fifth-rank imperial decree bestowed by the court? Even if Madam Xiaojie is being forced by her mother-in-law, she can't ignore the court. Are you trying to get Madam Xiaojie to disobey the court?"

He quickly waved her hands and got up. "No, no, I just want my sister-in-law to go back and visit my mother. My mother fainted."

Mrs. Li said, "Madam Xiaojie brought the imperial physician to the He family a few days ago. If Old Madam Jiang feels unwell, you don't have to kneel down at Madam Xiaojie's door. The He family will send someone over. The He family's wife lives in the He family. She must know about your mother's past, right?"

He said hurriedly, "I know, I know. My aunt is taking care of my mother and can't take care of her, so I came here first."

At this time, everyone watching laughed.

"Is there such a daughter? Why didn't she go find a doctor first when her mother fainted? Instead, she came here kneeling and making a fuss? Could it be that Madam Xiaojie was so angry that her mother fainted?"

Another person said, "I think this girl might have fainted because of her mother's anger, and she wants to turn the tables."

At this time, a servant of the He family also came over. It was He Jingyi's mother. She walked over and said, "Madam, you made the old lady faint with anger. The family is looking for you. The third master said you should go back and kneel in the ancestral hall."

He immediately said, "Why should I go back to the ancestral hall? He is not my eldest brother. Why should he control me? I am a married woman, not the daughter-in-law of the He family. It is not his turn to control me!"

The onlookers were shocked. Is there such a married woman?

One woman said, "How shameless! Others said that Madam Xiaojie was bullied by her sister-in-law. I didn't believe it, but it seems to be true."

When He saw this, she didn't even say hello to Li and hurried back to Gao's house.

Mrs. Jiang was awakened by Mrs. He pinching her Ren Zhong, and she immediately cursed, "Beast!"

It was right in front of Old Mrs. He's face.

Old Madam He said angrily, "Who are you scolding? Are you calling me a beast?"

Mrs. Jiang burst into tears. "I cursed that heartless person. I only gave birth to one daughter. I loved her so much, worried that she wouldn't have a good life in her husband's family. I secretly gave her money and things. And now she treats me like this!"

Seeing that she still had the energy to curse, Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that she would become paralyzed like her nephew, which would be the end of her life.

He Wenliang and He Jingyi ran over hurriedly one after another. He Wenliang heard his mother scolding his second sister with tears and snot, and he really wanted to say that she deserved it.

He didn't see He, so he asked, "Where's the second sister?"

Mrs. He finally realized what was happening. "Oh no! She just said she was going to ask your sister-in-law to come back."

He Jingyi quickly sent someone to her mother's place to find her second aunt.
