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

When the people in the room saw Madam Xue leaving in a hurry, they looked at each other in confusion.

Mrs. Wang did not stay and went back with her daughter and daughter-in-law.

Old Madam He asked Mo Chenxi, "What's wrong with Madam Xue? Why does the stone look like her grandson?"

Mo Chenxi told Madam Xue about her illness.

It's not that she has a big mouth, it's just that my aunt will have more contact with Madam Xue in the future, so it will be easier to get along with her if I tell her in advance.

After hearing this, Mrs. He sighed, "How did he get this disease? No wonder she always mentions her youngest son and says she's sorry to the Xue family. If she hadn't spoiled her son, he wouldn't have died so early."

Mrs. Mo said, "I think she really likes talking to you. In the future, you should persuade her a little and remind her more often that she is the grandson of the Liao family."

Old Madam He nodded. "I know what to say. There's something I want to talk about. The marriage with the Xue family is verbally agreed, but we have to wait for Shanqiao's parents to come. I've already sent a letter. I want to buy a house in the capital first. We can't let the woman prepare the house for us. It can't be too small, and we can't afford a big one right now. We need to find a house that's about the same size. I don't know many people here, so I thought you could help me find some."

It was impossible not to let her niece-in-law know about such a big thing as buying a house, and she couldn't go out to find a real estate agent by herself, so she asked the Mo family and the Mo family for help.

Mrs. Mo said, "I'll go back and tell my second son. He knows a lot of people now, so when he finds a suitable one, he'll come to you to look at houses."

She took it upon herself because she didn't want her daughter to suffer too much. Furthermore, this was the He family's business, and who knew what Shanqiao's parents were like. If her daughter helped to look for him, and if anything happened to him, Shanqiao's family would blame her.

Mrs. Xue hurried back to the house. Seeing Lieutenant General Liao at her daughter-in-law's place, she immediately asked, "Why did you come here by yourself? I just saw your wife and Little Stone at Madam Xiaojie's place."

Liao Wenshan stood up, bowed, and said, "I just came out of the palace to see my sister. I'll go pick them up right now."

"No need to go. She and her mother have returned home. Did your brother-in-law ask you to take a message?"

"I just showed it to my sister. Aunt, I'm going back first."

After she left, Mrs. Xue said to her daughter-in-law, "Little Shitou is growing up beautifully. He's not shy and can be held by anyone, just like Little Four when he was little."

She told Wang Huilan how she went to the Mo family and the meal she had there, and asked her to bring the child over to meet her aunt tomorrow.

Mrs. Liao said, "I just told my brother that I will be going back to my parents' home tomorrow."

Madam Xue said, "Then let Huilan bring the child over the day after tomorrow. You are the aunt, and your brother finally got married and had a child. Let Huilan take care of the child and live with us for a while, so you can get closer to your nephew."

Mrs. Liao smiled and said, "Okay, wait until they're done with their work for a while. They have a lot of things to do when they get back. My parents will definitely love little Shitou, so I have to let them hold their grandson more."

She knew that her mother-in-law had dementia, so she went along with her. Besides, her brother had just said that he would go to Guanzhong in two months and would take his wife and son with him, so her mother-in-law couldn't worry about him even if she wanted to.

Mrs. Xue then asked, "What did the boss say in the letter?"

"Tell Mom to eat well, and tell her that if she feels lonely, let me send her to Liaodong to live for a year or two."

Mrs. Xue said, "I won't go back to him. It's winter there and I can't leave. I have people to talk to here. I used to get along well with Mrs. Zhong, but it's a pity she's gone. Now I know my relative He, and we talk freely. Unlike Mrs. Zhong, who always chokes me. Now I don't have the chance to choke me. It's pitiful! I have to live well. I still have to wait for little Shitou to grow up and get married."

The matter was transferred to Wang Huilan's son again. Mrs. Liao could imagine that Wang Huilan was going to have a headache.

When Liao Wenshan returned home, he saw his mother holding Little Stone in the yard and throwing stones on the ground. Little Stone was giggling.

"Just spoil him, Mom. If he grows up to be a bastard, I wonder who I'll cry to."

Madam Liao said, "How old is he? Just play with him. I raised you like this when you were a child, and you didn't become a jerk."

Liao Wenshan stopped talking, thinking that he would be staying at home for two months anyway. He asked, "Where is Shitou's mother?"

"She's in the house picking out fabrics. She said it's hot in the summer so she can make a few more fine cotton underwear for Shitou."

Liao Wenshan went to his yard, entered the house, and saw a pile of fabrics on the table.

When Wang Huilan saw her husband return, she asked the maid to take the fabric away, poured him some tea, and asked, "What do you say about entering the palace? Should we stay in the capital, or just for a while? I don't want to live in the capital for a moment."

She told him about her meeting with Madam Xue today.

"My senior sister said that the Madam thought our son was her reincarnation. She burst into tears when she saw the stone. I was soft-hearted and didn't take the child away, but this won't work in the long run."

Liao Wenshan frowned and said, "Just hold on for two months, but don't tell anyone. After two months, we will go to Guanzhong."

Wang Huilan exclaimed, "Is this what General Xue meant?"

Liao Wenshan neither denied nor admitted, "I went to the palace to see the emperor today. The emperor has really grown up and is very different from before."

Wang Huilan said, "You've seen it once before. The emperor was only four or five years old, and now he's fourteen. Not to mention the emperor, even ordinary children look like adults at fourteen."

Liao Wenshan didn't explain much. This time, when he went to see the Emperor, the Empress Dowager was also present, but she didn't say much. It was the Emperor who appointed him, and mentioned that he was serving under the Empress Dowager's father. The Emperor also said, "You'll be closer to your father-in-law's family in the future. Your father-in-law is also a talented general."

Since his brother-in-law was not around, he went to tell his sister. His sister said that the Queen Mother wanted to use the Wang family, including your father-in-law's Wang family.

He asked, "Isn't it the Emperor's own idea?"

The elder sister said, "It will take the emperor several years to break away from the Empress Dowager, but it won't be easy. The Empress Dowager is not an ordinary woman. Remember, once you go there, everything will be centered around the Wang family. You are a military commander, and you can only make a name for yourself on the battlefield. The west has been relatively stable in recent years, but no one can predict what will happen in the future. If you go, you will be your brother-in-law's subordinate, and you will publicly obey the Wang family. As for your in-laws, your sister-in-law and her family are not close, so you can see for yourself. If you can win them over, try to win them over. If not, stay away."

Liao Wenshan heard this and his brother-in-law said, "Listen to your sister when you go back."

As for the marriage between the Xue family and the He family, the elder sister said: The Xue family cannot have too much contact with literati, but they cannot be without people. The He family is just right. Shanqiao is Shanluo's cousin, and Shanluo is Mr. Nie's disciple. You can't see it now, but you will know the benefits of this marriage in the future, as long as the second branch does not make trouble.

Liao Wenshan admired his elder sister, no wonder his brother-in-law told him to listen to his elder sister. His brother-in-law said not to underestimate women, but the harem made it impossible for your sister to show her abilities.
