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

Seeing that things had come to this, Mrs. Cao ordered her daughter-in-law to go to Madam Xiaojie and apologize on her son's behalf.

Then she asked her son to go to Mo Yuanji to complain. She went to the Zhao family and met with Old Madam Zhao to tell her about her grievances. She also spread the news that Old Madam Jiang had gone insane.

Mrs. Zhao was shocked and embarrassed after hearing this. She was the one who arranged this marriage, and she was embarrassed that the Cao family's granddaughter had just given birth and caused such a scene.

"Is he really crazy?"

Old Madam Cao gnashed her teeth and said, "Her son told my son that himself. I don't care if she really is ill or just pretending. Anyway, my Yue'e can't live under her control. She forced my son to have a stroke, forced his wife and children to be separated, and even wants to force a divorce on my grandson. Is she insane?"

Old Madam Zhao understood that He Wenyan's madness was just an excuse for his mother.

"Just treat her as if she's crazy, otherwise outsiders will say that the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are unfilial. It's fine this way. As long as she's alive, no one will take care of her. She deserves it! I'll go visit her soon. She's so sick, and as an old relative, I should go and bring her some supplements."

Old Madam Cao said bitterly, "She can't be killed!"

Old Madam Zhao understood the purpose of Old Madam Cao's visit. The two old relatives wanted to prove that Old Madam Jiang had gone insane.

She took her granddaughter-in-law He Jingyi to the He family, and Mrs. Zhao visited several families in succession to spread the news.

When Master Cao went to see Mo Yuanji, he looked worried and said that He Wenyan had a very bad fate. Not only was he paralyzed on one side of his body, but his mother had also gone insane.

Mo Yuanji was shocked, but after listening to what Master Cao said about the whole thing, he understood.

When his grandson married the daughter of the Cao family, he talked about how his son-in-law would have a bad future. Not to mention that the old lady of the Cao family was powerful, the head of the Cao family was not someone who could be easily bullied.

Cao said, "Master Mo, I'm a straightforward person. You're too honest. How can the He family embarrass you?"

Mo Yuanji had no words to express his pain. It wasn't that he wasn't angry before, but it was his daughter's consent. What could he do?

He explained, "The He family wasn't like this back then. Who knew it would turn out like this? But my son-in-law is just a little too filial. Who can say there's anything wrong with filial piety? I also feel sorry for my son-in-law. The He family doesn't have many people, they're a single household, and there's no clan to make the decision. As his father-in-law, I can't go and lecture him, right? To lecture him about being filial to his mother? That's unreasonable and would make people laugh."

Cao Zhushi nodded. "You are right, but I don't care who he honors, but he can't bully my daughter. Do you really think there is no one left in the Cao family? I don't necessarily want my daughter to divorce. My son-in-law is still a good person. I just want to teach him a lesson so that my daughter can move out. His mother's madness is his own business. He should be filial to her. Don't be a coward and wait for a woman to intervene. I won't tolerate his bad habits. If a mother is sick, her own son will serve her by her bedside."

Mo Yuanji echoed his words, "You're right. In the years before my mother passed away, I slept in her room, got up several times at night, and carried her out of the house during the day. How can a woman have the strength of a man? Besides, the whole family depends on women to run the family. How can you be a filial son if you don't take care of your own mother?"

Cao said, "Yes, yes, yes. My mother was sick once, and I slept on the floor next to her bed. My mother was so heavy that two women couldn't hold her. In less than ten days, I lost 10 to 20 pounds. If I were a woman, I would have collapsed from exhaustion in two days."

Mo Yuanji gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Well done, you filial son! This is what a man should be like."

Cao Zhushi was praised by Mo Yuanji, and when he got home, he praised Lord Mo for being so sincere.

Old Mrs. Cao pressed her forehead and said, "My son is too serious, okay?"

Mrs. Cao went to Mrs. Xiaojie's place and saw that her stepdaughter looked fine. She knew that she didn't know the real reason for moving in.

She didn't mention it, just said she came to deliver something.

When she left, Mo Chenxi saw her out and sat in the house in the front yard for a while.

Mo Chenxi said, "I originally wanted to wait until Yue'e was two months old before moving back. It's fine to move back now, but Yue'e doesn't know what happened that day. It's best if she doesn't know. She might get sick if she gets angry during the confinement period."

Mrs. Cao expressed sympathy, and Mrs. Xiaojie said that this was how she herself developed her heart disease.

"Yue'e's father acted recklessly. I apologized on his behalf, but my mother-in-law beat him up, saying he didn't consider her son-in-law."

Mo Chenxi smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the past. Lord Cao was worried about Yue'e. I have to thank Lord Cao. If he hadn't done this, and asked Yue'e and the others to move out, there would have been a lot of trouble."

Madam Cao said, "You don't have to worry about her making a fuss in the future. Yue'e's father told everyone that his son-in-law's grandmother had gone insane. It was his son-in-law's father who said it himself."

Mo Chenxi was surprised, she didn't know yet.

I wondered why I hadn’t thought of this?

Manager Cao did tell everyone he met, and he went to the yamen with a sigh and a sympathetic tone. In addition, Madam Zhao, her mother-in-law, and Madam Cao spread the word vigorously, so everyone knew everything they needed to know.

I feel sympathy for He Wenyan. No wonder he had a stroke. It wasn't just because his mother was angry. It must have been because his mother went crazy and beat people, which made her angry and anxious and caused the stroke.

After hearing what Mo Chenxi said, Mrs. He stared at him, "Is this true? I think your mother-in-law wouldn't be as crazy as me. Is she pretending? What bad idea is she going to come up with?"

Mo Chenxi told everything, saying that Master Cao came to see He Wenyan, and He Wenyan said that he had gone crazy in order to give his mother relief.

Old Mrs. He said helplessly, "That's good. No one will listen to her anymore. Who would listen to a madman?"

She prepared some gifts and went back to visit.

Sitting in the carriage, he sighed repeatedly. His nephew had been able to stay in the yamen for more than ten years, and he had relied on himself to be promoted step by step. Although it was with the help of the Mo family, it was not easy for his nephew.

When Mrs. Jiang saw her sister-in-law coming to see her, she burst into tears.

Old Mrs. He said, "You deserve it! You don't want to live a good life, but you have to make things uncomfortable. Not only do you torment your son and daughter-in-law, you also want to torment your grandson. Now that they have moved out, you can do whatever you want and show off your power."

"Isn't it for the He family? Otherwise, why would I worry about that? Wouldn't I be able to stay here and have good food and drink?"

Old Madam He interrupted her impatiently, "You want to be the boss for your own sake, but you don't have the ability. You have to act like a troublemaker to show that you are an elder. You made Wen Yan sick and didn't let him go. You and your daughter should take care of him, otherwise you will accuse him of being unfilial."

Old Mrs. Jiang burst into tears, "That unfilial son Wen Yan moved to the manor and left me alone!"

Old Mrs. He was shocked again. Her nephew was too...

He Wenliang came in, bowed to Old Lady He, and said helplessly, "I'm coming back to live here temporarily, and I need someone to stay at home."

He Wenyan's three concubines were not considered his masters, and his illegitimate children were still young. He Wenyan just returned to the farm without caring about the situation at home, so He Wenliang had to go back home to live.

Old Madam He asked, "Where is Aunt Mo?"

Old Mrs. Jiang patted the armrest and said, "That shameless girl, she followed Wen Yan to the manor the day after he left."

Old Mrs. He looked at He Wenliang's helpless face and didn't know what to say.
