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

The weather was getting warmer and spring had arrived. The imperial court specially enclosed a piece of land near Shuangfeng Mountain as a farm for the royal family to grow vegetables. They only grew sweet potatoes on this land.

Logically speaking, Mo Chenxi didn't need to worry about it anymore. One reason was that her father wanted to give all the credit to her, and Mo Chenxi herself didn't want to live in the capital, so she moved to the Mo family's farm again under the pretext of helping her father.

The only downside to living there was being too close to He Wenyan. They were still married, after all, and fortunately, no one was paying attention to the He family. She only knew about the He family's current situation from what Mother Wang had said. Mother Wang's attention to the He family was her tacit consent, and she had to know something to avoid being caught off guard by anything else.

He Wenliang is the one who has been living in the He family now. Old Mrs. Jiang made a fuss for a while and insisted that her daughter come back. He Wenliang firmly disagreed and said that if his second sister came into the family, he would move out and he would not care what his mother wanted to do.

Old Mrs. Jiang was really afraid that her son would ignore her, so she calmed down and stopped making a fuss.

Now in the He family, Old Mrs. Jiang cannot go out and no one can come in. He Wenliang only left a few people to serve his mother, and the others planted flowers.

He couldn't stay at home all day and night. He had to go out to work during the day and come back to accompany his mother at night.

He Wenyan's three concubines' sons found a private school with accommodation to study, and his concubines' daughters moved to the farm with their aunt.

Little Mrs. Mo had almost recovered and started to give orders. This time she no longer did everything herself, but directed the three concubines to do the work. If she couldn't do anything else, she could at least learn to grow flowers.

Mother Wang laughed as she spoke, "Auntie Mo said that the master can do it, and I can do it, so why can't you? You can't just sit there and eat for free. The three concubines are obedient and all plant flowers. The master follows Auntie Mo's instructions without asking a single question. This time when he went to the farm, the master seemed to have a breath of fresh air. He walked around the farm every day and wrote with his left hand. Auntie Mo accompanied him and learned to write with him."

Mo Chenxi smiled. He Wenyan was exercising the left side of his hand that had suffered a stroke. His condition was not severely hemiplegic, and he just walked with a slight limp. After a few months of planting flowers, there was no visible problem with his left hand.

Mother Wang whispered again, "I told Aunt Mo that if she wants to get pregnant again, it's best to wait six months. Aunt Mo knows how to take care of herself. She arranged for the three concubines to serve the master at night, and she stayed with him during the day, not letting the three concubines get close. I didn't realize she was quite thoughtful."

Mo Chenxi said, "If you don't have any sense in the He family, you will only suffer. Look at those three concubines, they never make a fuss. What are they making a fuss about? They have no money, no love, they might as well stay here and feed them. Just raise their children and that's it."

Mother Wang glanced at the lady and thought to herself, the lady understands everything, but why was she so confused before?

"Okay, if there's nothing going on over there, don't tell me unless it's something serious."

Mo Chenxi would not waste her energy on the He family. When she heard that Manager Cao had helped her eldest brother get a job in the Ministry of Works, she bought some precious medicinal materials, including an old ginseng, and took it to the Cao family.

When Mrs. Cao saw her accepting these gifts, she complained, "I'm already so grateful for your visit, an old woman like me. Why are you still accepting these? Your mother has already given you many good things. You're being too polite."

Mo Chenxi said, "It's rare for me to come to the city now, so I came to visit Grandma Cao. This is my wish as a younger generation."

Madam Cao personally brought in tea. "Madam Zhao said she's never seen an in-law as generous as Madam Mo. She's always so generous every time she comes to visit. It makes us both feel embarrassed."

Mo Chenxi smiled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Who cares if it's given to you? Just take it. Madam Zhao and I have been sisters for many years. We have never been strangers to each other. So don't be strangers to me, my in-laws."

Old Mrs. Cao asked with concern, "How are you feeling lately? You've become a little grayer this winter, and you'll be working in the fields again. I asked Yue'e's father to make a few bamboo hats for you to wear when you go. They'll be perfect for you to take with you when you leave."

Mo Chenxi said, "Thank you then. I'm just wondering where to buy a few."

"No need to buy it. If you need it next time, just let me know. Yue'e's father looks carefree, but he's handy and can make some things. If you go to the Ministry of Works, he can make some new crossbows better than the craftsmen."

Mo Chenxi said: "My eldest brother is the same. He will learn what he likes to do even if he doesn't eat or sleep. In the future, he will follow Master Cao and let Master Cao teach him well."

As they were talking, Mo Chenxi came out of Cao's house and went back home. Old Mrs. He told her about meeting Mrs. Xue at the temple, and Mrs. Xue invited her to visit the Xue family.

Mo Chenxi didn't think too much and said, "Aunt, don't stay at home all the time. Just go if you're invited. If you want to visit, you can go to the Zhao family or the Cao family. These two old ladies are both sensible."

Old Madam He said, "It's obvious that even Yue'e's stepmother is sensible and comes over every two days. Don't worry about the family affairs, just go about your business."

Mo Chenxi went to the Zhao family again and saw that her daughter seemed to be a little taller than before she got married. Her face was rosy and her eyes were bright, which meant that she was living well in her husband's family.

The two marriages arranged for her two children in ancient times made her very satisfied, and they were worthy of her original self who was killed by the He family.

When I returned to the village, I saw a luxurious carriage parked at the door. I didn’t know who had come.

As soon as I entered the door, a mother came to greet me, "Madam, the eldest lady is here."

Mo Chenxi hurried inside and entered her yard. She saw the older woman with her hands behind her back, looking at the trees in the yard, and a boy of about thirteen or fourteen standing beside her.

Hearing footsteps, the big man turned around.

Mo Chenxi saluted and said, "I didn't know your Highness was here. I just came back from the capital."

Hanshan Daxue said: "It's okay, I'm also going to Shuangfeng Temple and came to take a look."

Mo Chenxi invited the eldest daughter to come in and sit down. The eldest daughter, Hanshan, introduced her, "This is my son, Luo Zizhen."

Luo Zizhen stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings, Madam."

Hanshan University said, "What a coincidence! Zizhen lives in the same room with your child in the academy. Zizhen said it was very hard for him, studying with him every day and not letting him talk nonsense."

Mo Chenxi said embarrassedly: "No one taught my Shankun since he was a child. He just arranged his own time, waking up and going to bed at the same time, and it has been like this all year round."

Hanshan University said to Luo Zizhen, "Did you hear that? Shankun is younger than you, and you said you'd be able to play for a few more years."

Luo Zizhen lowered his head and said, "I understand, mother. I won't talk nonsense again."

He was so angry. He thought he was quite good at talking, but He Shankun said that what he said was nonsense. When the time came in the evening, he blew out the lights and went to bed.

He couldn't sleep and sneaked away to find Xue Qingguo. He Shankun said that if he continued like this in the future, he would ask his husband to move out and live with his cousin.
