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

Usually, when two families marry, the elders will agree first and then tell their children.

They are a perfect match and must be from the same circle. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they will know who is whose family.

There are also cases where the elders on both sides are willing but the children refuse to agree. These are the legitimate children of the family and are favored.

Xue Nanqin was born out of wedlock, and although she grew up with her legal mother, she could not be compared with a real legitimate child.

Legitimate children are divided into those born to the original wife and those born to a concubine who is married to another wife. There is also a type of legitimate children that are registered under the name of the legitimate mother, in which case the family uses her to arrange marriages.

Xue Nanqin knew that her marriage would help her elder sister and brothers, and she had no choice.

She did not get complacent just because she was raised by her stepmother. She understood that the Xue family relied on the eldest wife's family, so she had been close to her cousin Qingguo from the eldest wife's family since she was a child. They shared little secrets and she made clothes for her cousin.

It’s just so that no matter who she marries in the future, she will have a close family from the Xue family’s eldest branch.

Xue Nanqin guessed her stepmother's ambition from the fact that she had inquired about the ladies selected to enter the palace, and she wanted her to enter the palace.

Instead of being secretly happy, she was terrified.

Being too young to analyze the situation, she only knew that with her looks, she could be a maid in the palace, but if she wanted to be a concubine, she would be lucky to die in the palace.

Her cousin secretly told her that he would find a way to get her to marry He Shanqiao, who often came home with her cousin, and she agreed.

She would rather marry into an ordinary family than enter the palace.

Nanjing knelt down to pray to the Buddha every day, and paid close attention to the movements of her father and stepmother. In addition, her cousin secretly revealed the news to her, and she knew that her grandmother agreed to her marrying into the He family. She was waiting for a letter from her uncle to tell her what he said.

She knew that her stepmother had gone to see her eldest sister today and looked unhappy when she came back. She breathed a sigh of relief, because it meant that her eldest sister also did not agree with her entering the palace.

Xue Nanqin secretly sent over an undergarment she made for her grandmother, but unexpectedly she met the mistress of the He family.

They came forward and saluted one by one.

Mrs. Xue took the lining made by her granddaughter with a smile and said to Mrs. He, "This belongs to my second son's daughter, Nanqin. Her biological mother passed away, and she has been raised by my daughter-in-law. She is very skillful and often makes small things for me."

Old Mrs. He looked at Xue Nanqin. She was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and she looked okay. Children born to a concubine usually were not ugly.

She pulled out a pair of gold earrings from her purse. "What a nice name! You can tell you're well-educated and well-mannered. I didn't prepare anything in advance, so I'll just wear these little things casually."

Xue Nanqin looked at her grandmother, and Madam Xue said, "Take this, and be filial to Grandmother He in the future."

Xue Nanqin blushed, took the earrings, and bowed, "Thank you, Grandma He."

Old Mrs. He was surprised. Did the Xue family agree?

She was very happy and returned to her niece's house. When she heard that her niece had invited the Cao family to dinner, she went to the kitchen to cook for Cao herself.

Mo Chenxi hosted a dinner at Jiujiangli and invited the female members of the Cao family. Old Mrs. Cao and her daughter-in-law, along with Cao Yue'e's sister Cao Yunzhen, went in with Mo Chenxi. As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard someone calling her. She knew it was Mrs. Qiu San without turning around.

Arranged in advance.

Mrs. Qiu San was pleasantly surprised. "Mrs. Mo, what a coincidence."

Mo Chenxi smiled secretly in her heart, but she had to pretend to be surprised. "Oh, it's the Third Madam. I'm inviting the Cao family to dinner today. Let's go together."

Mrs. Qiu San bowed to Mrs. Cao and her mother-in-law and said with a smile, "I brought my children here to try the new dishes here. Come together, it's my treat."

The son and daughter behind her came forward to greet her.

Everyone looked at the boy in the lead. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, well-behaved, but his face was as red as a girl's.

The girl from the Qiu family was also very open and generous.

Cao Yunzhen stepped forward to greet Mrs. Qiu San, her face also blushing, and she secretly glanced at the young man from the Qiu family.

Mo Chenxi said, "If the Third Madam would do me the honor of sitting with you, it's rare for me to be in the capital."

Mrs. Qiu San asked her son to go home first, and she and her daughter followed Mo Chenxi and the others upstairs.

The marriage between the two families was settled without any major problems.

Manager Cao really came. He saw the young man from the Qiu family opposite the restaurant. He was better than he had imagined. He thought he looked like his father. The way he walked made him look like he was saying "don't mess with me".

Just as Mo Chenxi thought, the two families had decided on a marriage, but the Princess of Weixing County was somewhat dissatisfied and disliked the fact that the girl from the Cao family was born as a concubine.

Prince Weixing sneered. It was good enough that someone was willing to marry into the Qiu family. With my brother-in-law's character, who would marry their daughter to him? It was all for the sake of my brother-in-law's wife.

Mrs. Qiu San had resolved one of her worries. Next was her daughter and a second son who was still young.

She was going to meet Hanshan University. To be honest, it was Hanshan University who gave her advice and told her to think about the Cao family.

Just as I was about to go out, a mother came in in a panic.

"Madam, Aunt Chang is back with a baby boy."

Mrs. Qiu San stood up and asked, "Where is she? How old is the boy?"

The mother replied, "I asked her to wait at the gate, madam. The boy looks just like the master."

Mrs. Qiu San slowly sat down and said, "Let her in, then go find the master and ask him to come back quickly."

She held her forehead.

Aunt Chang is the daughter of the concubine of Chang Dongjia, the owner of Yingkelai. At the beginning, Mr. Qiu San took her in to the mansion just to receive the filial piety of Chang Dongjia over the years, and also to protect Yingkelai's business.

Later, something happened and the Third Master kicked Concubine Chang out. It happened that she was not at home at that time. If she was at home, she would not let the Third Master kick Concubine Chang out.

You can't do things like this, it's too unkind. It's just an extra meal, send it to the farm, or marry off Concubine Chang.

Also, after kicking her out, you have to confirm whether she is pregnant or not. If she is, you will not be able to explain it if you bring her back later, and you will also make a fool of yourself by others.

Aunt Chang came in, holding a little boy who looked to be only a little over one year old.

She put the boy down and knelt down to kowtow.

"Madam, this is the master's child. Please take him in."

She also forced the boy to kneel down, and the boy kowtowed, raised his head, and whispered, "Mother."

Aunt Chang's eyes were filled with tears. "Madam, I know you have a kind heart. As long as you take me in, I am willing to leave the capital."

Mrs. Qiu San saw that she was wearing plain clothes and had no jewelry on her head. She asked, "Did your father come back with you?"

"My father passed away before the New Year, so my brother sent me and my daughter to the capital."

Mrs. Qiu San said, "You take the children and stay here first. We can deal with the rest after the master comes back."

Aunt Chang kowtowed again, stood up and carried the child out.

Mrs. Qiu San called in her trusted mother and said, "Find out where the Chang family mother and child live, and see if anyone has contacted them. Send a few people from Concubine Chang's house to serve them, and find two mothers to take care of the child."

Mom took the order and left.

After waiting for a long time, Mr. Qiu came back and shouted as soon as he entered the door, "What's the emergency? You have to let me come back right away?"

Mrs. Qiu glared at him and said, "This woman from outside brought her child here to claim her ancestral home!"

Just as Mr. Qiu San was about to sit down, he suddenly jumped up.
