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

Nie Chengping went to Hejiazhuangzi.

He felt that as He Shanluo's master, he could not know that his disciple's father was in such a terrible state without telling him about it.

He Wenyan received Nie Chengping.

In the past, he would never see anyone even if he was beaten to death. But after Doctor Wu and his men came yesterday and saw his worst side, he thought, this is who I am, what can you do to me?

Nie Chengping came with a gift. He put it down and said directly without any politeness, "Master He should not abuse women and should not let himself fall."

He Wenyan was stunned. He had never met someone who spoke so directly.

"You are a man. You are a man no matter what the situation. You let a woman take the responsibility. Do you have the guts?"

He Wenyan thought that his wife had said something to the Nie family, and his face turned red.

"You still blush, so there's still hope. If it were someone else's business, I wouldn't bother to say anything, but I'm your son's master, and I can't bear to see you go on like this. Life is unpredictable, and many things and accidents can happen.

"My parents died when I was twelve, and from then on I was the head of the family. I was a man, and I married off my eldest sister, found a wife for my younger brother, took care of my younger sister, and provided for my grandmother until her death. No matter how great the hardship or difficulty was, I took it on.

"Don't think everything will be smooth sailing just because the Nie family is rich. Many people want to eat us siblings because my parents are gone, but as long as I'm here, they won't even think about it!"

"I didn't enter the court as an official because I couldn't abandon my brothers and sisters. To me, my family, my wife and children are everything to me, until I die. Everyone will die one day, and I must live with a clear conscience, live up to my ancestors, live up to my loved ones, and live up to the love of my partner.

"Aren't you just sick? You can eat, sleep, and curse. My servants can hear you when they pass by. It's uncivilized. Sun Bin was framed and had his legs chopped off. He commanded the battle from a wheelchair. It doesn't mean he's degraded because he can't walk. You are a scholar, where is the arrogance of a scholar?"

Nie Chengping felt that he had spoken very politely, so he spoke in a restrained manner.

He stood up and said, "Take care of yourself."

gone.

He Wenyan sat for a long time.

Two maids came in to help him up, but he said, "I can do it myself."

The maid was surprised and stepped back.

He Wenyan stood up with the help of the table, staggering. A maid hurried forward to support him.

"Help me to the wall."

Another maid held the other side, and He Wenyan moved step by step to the wall and grabbed the wooden stick. The maid let go of her hand, and He Wenyan lifted his foot by himself and took a step forward with great effort.

Within a quarter of an hour, sweat began to flow. The maid came forward to wipe his sweat, but he did not refuse or curse.

Wang Jingye was very worried when he learned that his brother-in-law went to the He family to see He Wenyan.

My brother-in-law either doesn't speak at all or says nothing nice when he speaks. This is unacceptable to any normal person, let alone a patient.

He could imagine his brother-in-law saying: "It's no big deal to be sick," or "If you were a man, you would stand up."

Mrs. Wang said, "Shouldn't he be talked about? If he weren't Shanluo's biological father, Chengping wouldn't bother to talk about him. He's just lucky to have Madam Xiaojie. If it were me, I'd feed him one meal a day and put him in a cart. The sooner he dies, the better. He'd rather be a burden to his children than live on."

Although Wang Jingye felt a little sorry for He Wenyan, he would not speak for him, otherwise his wife would turn around and scold him and let him eat only one meal every day.

The Empress Dowager's second uncle and his family have moved out, so he doesn't have to follow them every day. He didn't follow them like this when his father was alive. It really made him feel awkward and nervous a while ago.

Nie Cheng'an went to Beijing and went to look at houses with his brother-in-law. The Nie brothers could not always live in the Wang family, so he listened to his brother-in-law's suggestion and asked the Nie family to move back to the capital.

The Nie family's business had long been handed over to Nie Cheng'an. Previously, it was the people left behind by Nie's father who helped Nie Chengping, and Nie's grandmother also supported the business.

When Nie Cheng'an grew up and his grandmother passed away, Nie Chengping was handed over to his younger brother, saying that he was not cut out for it.

The Nie family, since the death of Nie's father, the old lady of the Nie family divided the property. The eldest daughter took the largest share, the second daughter took the second, and the other three illegitimate daughters divided it equally. The married aunts each received a subsidy of silver.

Without the support of elders, the Nie family branch has always wanted to control the Nie brothers. Nie Chengping studied hard and became a Jinshi because he wanted to have a status. Later, he handed over the family business to his brothers and devoted himself to teaching.

With the help of Wang Jingye, the son-in-law of the Nie family, and the Xiao family, the in-laws of Nie Chengping, those restless branches were suppressed, and the Nie brothers were able to keep the family business.

Mrs. Wang was not a weak person to begin with. Later, when the family changed, as the eldest sister, she had to protect her younger siblings. She could only do that like a hen protecting her chicks, nagging anyone who came her way. It had developed to the point where she would glare at and kick anyone if they had a disagreement.

The house was introduced by Mr. Qiu Sanye. Mr. Qiu Sanye has no social connections and no one looks down on him, but he has a wide network of friends and knows people from all walks of life.

Wang Jingye told him that he wanted to buy a house, and he quickly gave the order, but unfortunately the houses offered were all ones with two or three courtyards.

Logically speaking, the Nie brothers should separate after they get married, but Nie Cheng'an said that he would never be separated from his eldest brother.

Mrs. Wang also didn't want the two brothers to separate. They were too young and had no elders to support them, and they would be too lonely if they separated.

She told her husband that as long as the sisters-in-law got along well with each other, they would not split up the family. If the sisters-in-law did not get along with her, as the eldest sister, she would advocate for them to split up.

We can’t let the discord between my sisters-in-law make things difficult for me.

Fortunately, the two sisters-in-law have always gotten along well.

So when the Nie family wanted to buy a house, they had to buy a big one. Mr. Qiu couldn't find a suitable one, so he went home dejected and told his wife about it.

Mrs. Qiu San said, "There's one that's quite suitable, and it's been sitting empty. I just don't know if anyone will buy it. I don't think they will."

Mr. Qiu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Whose house is this?"

Mrs. Qiu San said, "The Ji family has a separate courtyard not far from the princess's residence."

After hearing this, Mr. Qiu San was discouraged again. "It's useless to say it. The Ji family has been empty for many years and they haven't said anything about selling it."

"Yeah, didn't I just say that? I guess they won't do anything."

Third Master Qiu said, "Even if the Ji family wanted to take action, they wouldn't take the initiative to say so. Why don't you go and ask them?"

Mrs. Qiu San and Mrs. Wenshan were good friends. Mrs. Wenshan was the late emperor's sister from the same mother. She was not on good terms with her husband and lived alone in the princess's mansion. She often invited people to her mansion for fun.

There was never a master living in the Ji family's villa, and usually servants were there to guard and clean the courtyard.

Why did Mr. Qiu ask his wife to ask? Because his wife had some dealings with a female member of the Ji family.

Mr. Qiu Sanye admired his wife with all his heart. She would socialize with the wives of scholars, military generals, and even the ladies in power.

I feel inferior to myself.

So even when his wife scolds him sometimes, he doesn't say a word.

The eldest sister, the Princess, scolded him harshly but was kind to the lady.

Once he heard his eldest sister say to his wife, "That useless guy is so annoying that he makes me die. Only you can tolerate him."

The wife said, "From the moment I came into the family, my mother treated me like her own daughter. Before she died, she held my hand and told me to take good care of the Third Master, to leave him alone, and to let him live a few more years for his two brothers. I know my mother has always been heartbroken by the untimely deaths of my eldest and second brothers, and I promised her that as long as he didn't commit any acts of confiscating our property or exterminating our family, I would leave him alone."

After hearing this, Mr. Qiu San went back to his room and cried, which was a rare occurrence for him.

Just live your life as usual and let him say what he wants. He has decades left in this world, and then you can change it when he can no longer move.
