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

Mrs. Qiu San returned to her home and called Aunt Chang and her son in front of Mr. Qiu San.

Mr. Qiu looked at the one-year-old child and found that he did look a bit like himself.

Mrs. Qiu said, "Tell me what happened in the past two years. Where did you give birth? Where was the midwife from? How did you get back to Beijing? If you tell me a lie, believe it or not, the Third Master will make your whole family take a dose of medicine. The Qiu family doesn't lack illegitimate sons. The Third Master can still have children by taking a few concubines."

Aunt Chang answered honestly, "I followed my father back to the Chang family's ancestral home and found out I was pregnant. I gave birth to the child there. My father was ill and stayed ill until the New Year. Before he died, he asked me to send the child back to the capital, saying that the Qiu family's offspring couldn't be left alone outside."

"Is there any mark on the child?"

Aunt Chang quickly turned the child's head around and said, "Yes, there is a black mole behind the ear. The midwife and several other women in the Chang family have seen it."

Mrs. Qiu guessed that the Chang family knew that Aunt Mo was pregnant with the prince's brother-in-law's child, so they would naturally arrange someone to take care of her and her child.

But to be on the safe side, I was afraid that Mr. Chang would find a kid who looked like the Third Master and bring him back to impersonate him, so I had to ask clearly and send someone to investigate.

She called the housekeeper and sent people to the Chang family's ancestral home to check and see if there was any problem on the way back from Aunt Chang and the others.

Mr. Qiu San didn't dare to say a word and listened to his wife's arrangements.

Mrs. Qiu said, "Third Master will make all the arrangements for your family. If everything goes well, the child will be recorded in the family tree after he turns three. You will stay in the backyard obediently. If you take advantage of having a son and become restless, I won't stop Third Master from doing anything."

Aunt Chang kowtowed and said, "I dare not."

She knew that the mistress would not be harsh on anyone, and if the master got angry and punished someone, only the mistress could stop him.

Mr. Qiu said to his wife, "Why not give the child to Concubine Xu to raise."

Aunt Xu was the first person to be with him, but they never had children.

Aunt Chang looked at the lady nervously.

Mrs. Qiu San said, "Let's talk about it after the person comes back."

It means to check it out first before making any arrangements.

Aunt Chang had tears in her eyes. She guessed that the child would not be raised by her side after being sent back, but she did not dare to ask for it.

That is to say, the wife is kind-hearted. If she were replaced by another cruel and ruthless mistress, who could bring the child back and give her some medicine, what could she do?

Aunt Chang kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Madam, and thank you, Third Master."

After Concubine Chang and her son left the room, Mr. Qiu San attentively poured tea for the lady and brought it to her personally.

Mrs. Qiu pushed his hand away, called her mother in, and instructed her, "Go and see if Madam Xiaojie is in the capital or at the manor. If she is in the capital, tell me and I'll go there tomorrow."

Mr. Qiu San said, "That's right. We should ask Madam Xiaojie whether this child is mine."

Mrs. Qiu San glanced at him and said, "How can Madam Xiaojie know whether the child is yours after doing such a shameful thing?"

"Back then, when Mrs. Chang had sex with her, there was no telling what Mr. Chang would say to her."

Mrs. Qiu smacked him on the head again. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm telling you, you can't go to Madam Xiaojie about this. I've worked so hard to build up some good relationships, and you'll ruin them all."

Mr. Qiu San rubbed his head and said, "Okay, okay, I won't ask. Everyone says I'm stupid, but it was you and Big Sister who made me stupid."

Mrs. Qiu glared and said, "Get out!"

Mr. Qiu San hurried out.

Mo Chenxi received Mrs. Qiu San at the manor, wondering what she wanted.

Mrs. Qiu San told me about Aunt Chang bringing the child back. "I've been dreaming about my mother-in-law for more than a year now. She always seems to have something to tell me. I've been wanting to ask you about it, but I didn't expect it to be this."

Mo Chenxi was embarrassed. No wonder all the noble ladies she had met were so enthusiastic when they saw her. A lady of filial piety was not worthy of their such enthusiasm. It must be because of these shady things.

She felt very strange. Everyone knew that most people would be reincarnated after death. Someone who had been dead for so many years must have been reincarnated long ago. How could he appear in her dream and say something?

"As soon as I heard that Aunt Chang brought the child back, I knew the child was from my Third Master. My mother-in-law wanted to tell me this. Furthermore, the Chang family wouldn't dare pretend to be of the Qiu family's bloodline. If they were found out, not only Aunt Chang and her children, but their entire family would be ruined."

Mo Chenxi asked, "Aren't you angry?"

Mrs. Qiu San smiled, a smile that was somewhat self-deprecating and somewhat helpless.

"I'm just angry that our Third Master doesn't know how to handle things, otherwise people outside will say that our Third Master is stupid."

Mo Chenxi said: "The Third Master is innocent and straightforward."

Mrs. Qiu San smiled again. "For people like us, innocence is a fatal flaw. Fortunately, he has a brother-in-law who is the Prince of Weixing, so others dare not set a trap for him. Otherwise, he would have died countless times."

Mo Chenxi asked again, "Third Master has no self-control when it comes to women. Are you angry?"

Mrs. Qiu said, "If I were to get angry, I wouldn't know how many times I would have died of anger. I knew what he was like before I got married, and I only hoped to give birth to a legitimate son who could bring some benefits to my family. Fortunately, my mother-in-law treats me very well, but that's also because her son is not very motivated, and our third master still takes me seriously. How many sons don't get angry, but rush to marry a daughter-in-law, and when the daughter-in-law comes home, the family bullies her, forcing her to have no way to live. I have a much better life than those people."

Mo Chenxi chuckled in his heart.

Is this not as good as the best but better than the worst?

But this kind of mentality is good for yourself. Otherwise, if you just think about how wronged you are, you will suffocate yourself to death.

"I'm telling you this because I want you to tell the Cao family before things get out of hand. I can't tell them about my Third Master's affairs. It's too embarrassing. Fortunately, it happened two years ago. If it happened now, I really wouldn't be able to face my in-laws."

Mrs. Qiu San would not think that Madam Mo moved out because of a woman's matter. He Wenyan already had a concubine, and later Madam Mo arranged a second wife for him.

She moved out because of her mother-in-law. If a woman is angry and upset because her husband takes a concubine, she is stupid.

People who come here have to go to Hejiazhuangzi to buy flowers when they return to Kyoto, all to give face to Mo Chenxi.

Mo Chenxi accompanied Mrs. Qiu San to the He family's manor, and Mrs. Qiu San ordered some flowers to bring back to Beijing.

Little Mrs. Mo had gained a lot of weight and was in good spirits. She poured tea for Mo Chenxi herself.

"Madam, our flowers will be exhibited tomorrow. They are the Wei Zi flowers that the master carefully planted."

Mo Chenxi had no interest in growing flowers, and she never paid much attention to them. But no matter what she was interested in, once she paid attention, she would put her heart into it, and when she was attentive, she would be fully invested.

She didn't want to have too much involvement with the He family, so she never asked, looked at, or cared about the flowers planted by the He family.

She said, "Really? That's great. You can go with the master. I have something else to do. Mrs. Qiu asked me to go to the Cao family to discuss something."

She didn't want to tell Xiao Mo what she was going to do, but to tell He Wenyan through Xiao Mo that she was busy.
