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

He Wenliang expected the Gao family to say this.

He sneered and said, "Everyone knows that my eldest brother suffered a stroke and is now paralyzed. Are you trying to piss him off to death? I have the final say on matters concerning the He family! Since you disagree, then fine, let's go to the government office today and let them make the final decision!"

Old Madam Gao slammed the table and said, "Go to the government office if you want! It was your second sister who disrespected His Highness and ran away without permission. She disrespected His Highness, which is a serious crime. Your He family is afraid of being implicated, but our Gao family must let this unlucky star in? Can't our Gao family divorce her wife?"

He Wenliang continued to sneer, "You said that."

He said to He, "Call your maid and whoever brought you food. Find them all. My He family will sue the Gao family for abusing their daughter-in-law who was being confined by His Majesty the Great!"

When He heard what her third brother said, she hurried out to look for someone. Her husband panicked and held her back, saying, "Mother, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

He slapped him and shouted, "You misunderstood your mother! Why didn't you say anything when your mother starved me to death? I'll let the yamen officials make the decision for me! My eldest sister-in-law is Madam Xiaojie, my nephew is the head of the family, and my niece is the daughter-in-law of a clerk. What do you have in your Gao family? How dare you kill me? Do you really think that my He family has no one left?"

Old Madam Gao pointed at He and said to He Wenliang, "Listen! Is a daughter-in-law who scolds her mother-in-law like this considered disobedient and unfilial? You want to sue my Gao family, so I'll sue my daughter-in-law He for insulting her elders and beating her husband. Let's see whether the yamen officials sentence your second sister first or me, an old woman who is about to be buried!"

He Wenliang would not be threatened by the old lady of the Gao family, otherwise there would be no end to the trouble in the future. He would either be threatened by the Gao family or harassed by his second sister.

"You and I have our own opinions, each claiming to be right. Let the government decide what's right! If the government sentences my second sister to disobedience and unfilial piety, she's been married for over ten years and has been the daughter-in-law of the Gao family for over ten years. Whether it's beheading or exile, she deserves it. If the Gao family mistreats their daughter-in-law, then I want to see what crime they sentence your family to. I want to see if your family will ever be able to marry a daughter-in-law again. Will your clan still keep your family in the family?"

He Wenliang dragged his second sister out of the house and saw one of her companions. He shouted, "Go find her!"

When He's husband saw that his brother-in-law was serious, he was frightened and pleaded, "Third brother, please talk nicely. Although my Gao family has its faults, your second sister is even more wrong. Going to the government office to make a scene will not be good for your He family. Your children haven't married yet, who would want to have an aunt with a reputation for being unfilial?"

He Wenliang shook off his hand and said, "My aunt has been married for more than ten years. Do people talk more about her husband's family or her parents' family?"

Old Mrs. Gao also came out, this time with a smile on her face. "Nephew, let's go inside and discuss this. What good will this do? My grandchildren are your nephews. When we go out, they will call you Third Uncle. As the old saying goes, the uncle is the eldest. I am the grandmother of these children. I beg you, let's have a good discussion between our two families on how to solve this problem."

He Wenliang was pulled into the house by his brother-in-law.

After everyone sat down, the servant brought tea again. He Wenliang didn't drink it, waiting to see what the Gao family would do.

Seeing that her son was so cowardly, Mrs. Gao had to speak up herself.

"My dear nephew, you know what your second sister is like. My Gao family had no choice but to divorce her. Not to mention the criticism from outsiders, even as a mother-in-law in the clan, I can't hold my head up high. Let's tolerate her. She is always making a fuss, always saying that her sister-in-law is Madam Xiaojie and can enter the palace to see the empress dowager at will. We locked her up because we don't want her to cause trouble. Who wouldn't be troubled by a daughter-in-law who causes trouble in the family?"

He Wenliang had no way to defend himself. He could only imagine how his second sister used his eldest sister-in-law's reputation to show off in her husband's family.

"If you really want to divorce your wife, won't the children suffer? Can you, as an uncle, bear with that? Don't say such angry words. Your eldest brother is in such a state now. In the end, isn't it your responsibility as the third uncle? Let us support your second sister. We in the Gao family can tolerate a little grievance, but we are afraid that she will speak without restraint."

He Wenliang still didn't say anything. The Gao family must have come up with a plan a long time ago, right?

"I think this is a good idea. Your eldest niece is one year older than your second nephew. Our two families will be even closer. Your second sister will have to behave herself for the sake of her daughter. If she reforms and becomes a good wife and mother, even if she stays at home, my Gao family will have to support her. As a brother, you will have less worries, right?"

He Wenliang narrowed his eyes. Oh my god, so this is the reason why the Gao family released the second sister?

The Gao family has a beautiful idea!

When He heard her mother-in-law say that she wanted her eldest daughter to marry Shankun's nephew, her eyes lit up.

She would love it.

From now on, my daughter's mother-in-law will be Lady Xiaojie, and she will have a lifetime of wealth and glory.

She stood up, walked over to her third brother, and knelt down. "Third brother, please, save my second sister and my niece. If my second sister is divorced by the Gao family, how will my daughter get married and how will my son find a wife? I know my eldest sister-in-law is kind and will treat her daughter-in-law well, let alone my niece. Third brother, my second sister is begging you."

She also kowtowed.

Old Mrs. Gao suppressed her pride, knowing that her daughter-in-law was more willing than she was to say this.

He Wenliang said, "Even if you die, I won't agree, and my elder brother won't agree either."

He looked at the old lady of the Gao family again, "I'm not here today to sort out the marriage of my younger generation. It's you, the Gao family, who want to divorce my wife, and my He family wants to sue you for abusing your daughter-in-law. You want to use my second sister's child to control my He family, but you're wrong. They are your descendants of the Gao family, so you can do whatever you want! But if you abuse them, I will sue the government and your clan as well!"

He stood up and said to Mrs. He, "Don't even think about marrying your nephew Shankun! Even if you hold a knife to your neck, don't expect my He family to agree! I just want to ask you one thing, will you come with me to the yamen? If you don't go, the Gao family will starve you to death, and then they will be the ones to collect your body. Don't expect the He family to come to your funeral!"

He looked at the coldness in her third brother's eyes, and her heart immediately turned into a circle. She couldn't rely on her mother, and her eldest brother didn't even care about her mother now. Her third brother was not her eldest brother, who always did what he said. If her third brother left this time, she would never have the chance to run away again.

Even if she ran away, the third brother would send her back to the Gao family. The Gao family would then tell others about her running away, making the eldest lady unhappy. They would give her a white silk scarf, which would make the mother-in-law even happier.

Since the third brother dared to go to the yamen, he must have a way to help her. We will think of a way to deal with the future matters later.

He gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go. I don't believe the government will allow the Gao family to force me to death."

He Wenliang didn't hesitate at all and went out directly. Don't think he was trying to scare the Gao family. At most, he would lose face once. Hasn't the He family had enough embarrassing things?

Old Mrs. Gao thought He Wenliang was trying to scare her. Who doesn't care about reputation?

Seeing her son following behind her daughter-in-law, she shouted, "Let them go! Bring the three evildoers born by the He family here and follow them!"
