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

He Shanqiao's mother accompanied Mrs. Jiang and said only nice things to her so that Mrs. He could free up time to clean up the newly bought house with her eldest son.

When Mrs. Jiang saw that He Shanqiao was able to marry the daughter of the general's mansion, she thought that her grandson Shankun was the emperor's companion and was a hundred times better than Shanqiao.

She was so busy arguing with her son that she didn't bother to ask about her grandson's marriage. Her son didn't come to see her afterwards, so she didn't know that He Shankun was engaged to the daughter of the Li family.

Old Madam Jiang sent for her son and said, "Look, Shanqiao has been able to marry the daughter of a great general, and Shankun is studying with the emperor. Shouldn't we find him a good marriage?"

He Wenyan said: "Don't worry about this, mother. Shan Kun is already engaged."

Old Mrs. Jiang was surprised and asked repeatedly: "Engaged? Whose family is it? How come I don't know?"

"The one I'm going to get is my niece from my aunt's family in Shankun."

"The Li family? The Li family in the countryside? Who arranged the marriage? Was it the Mo family?"

Although He Wenyan did not agree with his son marrying the girl from the Li family, he was even more unwilling to let his mother interfere.

"We decided on this as husband and wife, so can't we make the decision about our son?"

"I'm the child's grandmother, and you didn't tell me about the engagement? What kind of nonsense did the Mo family put in your head? My healthy grandson is the emperor's study companion, yet he's engaged to a girl from the countryside who's a relative of the Mo family! Why would the Mo family use a descendant of the He family to be a good person? Are you so foolish as to let them fool you?"

He Wenyan asked, "Whose family did Shankun choose to be with?"

"A stranger from Shanqiao can get a seat in the General's Mansion. If Shankun becomes the Emperor's companion, maybe the Emperor will choose him as his consort."

He Wenyan chuckled twice, "I didn't expect mother to have such high standards when choosing a grandson's wife. It's a pity that the princess has already been engaged. The one she has chosen is the eldest princess's son."

Is he saying that the princesses in the palace are worthless? Why does he have to be interested in the humble He family?

Old Madam Jiang asked anxiously, "The princess is engaged, but what about the princess? And what about the Hanlin Palace? That's your own son, and you've arranged such a marriage for him?"

He Wenyan became more and more disgusted with his mother's behavior. He had been wronged and cowardly all his life, and his mother had never been understanding of him.

Now he wants his son to follow the same path as him, and he is even thinking about the princess and the Hanlin Mansion.

"Can't the daughters of the Prince's Mansion and the Hanlin Mansion get married? What can my He family offer to match them? Just think that they are blind to marry their daughter to Shankun. Have you ever thought about what Shankun should do? What will I do? Do you expect the daughters of the Prince's Mansion and the Hanlin Mansion to bring all the things from her mother's family and pick on them? Does Shankun still have any shame? Does he still want to survive in this world? Do you expect Shankun to live his life like my son?"

Seeing her son was being so persistent, Mrs. Jiang slammed the armrest in anger. "What's wrong with our family? Your wife is Madam Xiaojie, and Shanluo's master is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager's cousin. What's so great about Shanqiao? How is Shankun inferior to him? You have no ability, so why don't you let your son become capable?"

When He Wenyan heard his mother say he was incompetent, he yelled, "Is my son incompetent in my eyes now that he's like this? Marrying a princess means he's competent. Why didn't you enter the palace and become a queen and give birth to a princess?"

This was outrageous. Old Mrs. Jiang stood up in panic and walked over to cover her son's mouth. "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy? How dare you say such a thing?"

He Wenyan had poor legs and feet to begin with, and when his mother covered his mouth, he stepped back and pushed, directly knocking Mrs. Jiang down.

Old Mrs. Jiang took a few steps back and lost her balance, falling down with a bang, hitting the back of her head on the corner of the table.

He Wenyan saw his mother lying on the ground with blood on the back of her head. He was so scared that he screamed and took a few steps back.

The maid outside had heard the noise but didn't dare to come in. Just then, He Wenliang returned home and saw the servants in a panic, so he hurried to his mother's yard.

Seeing Shanqiao's mother standing at the gate with a panicked look on her face, he asked, "What happened?"

He Shanqiao's mother said, "Your eldest brother and your mother started arguing. Your eldest brother yelled once, but now there's been no movement."

He Wenliang ran in two steps at a time, thinking that something had happened to his eldest brother. After entering, he saw his eldest brother standing there in a daze, and his mother lying motionless on the ground.

He didn't bother to ask his eldest brother, who rushed over, picked up his mother and put her on the bed, and immediately sent someone to call Mrs. Mo over.

He knew that Doctor Zhang's wife, Grandma Yu, lived with his younger sister-in-law, and that his younger sister-in-law was the only one who could handle the family affairs.

When Xiao Mo and Yu Po came over, he said, "My mother fell and hurt her head. You stay here while I go get Doctor Zhang."

When Doctor Zhang came over, Grandma Yu had already treated the wound on Old Lady Jiang's head. Doctor Zhang asked his daughter-in-law a few questions and took Old Lady Jiang's pulse.

He Wenliang asked, "How is my mother?"

Doctor Zhang said, "She still has a pulse. We can only wait until your mother wakes up."

He Wenliang then noticed his eldest brother. He saw that his eldest brother was sitting in the living room in a daze. He didn't want to ask in front of outsiders, so he went out and called the maidservant beside his mother to the study to ask her clearly.

The old woman was terrified. She was serving the old lady. If anything happened to the old lady, wouldn't it be the servant's dereliction of duty?

She heard it clearly outside, so she learned it clearly too.

"Then the old lady rushed over and hit the master. The master pushed the old lady, and the old lady hit her head on the table and fell down."

Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she could guess roughly what it was by hearing it with her own ears.

He Wenliang's face turned pale. He didn't expect that his elder brother and mother would quarrel like this. He didn't expect that his mother became like this because his elder brother pushed her.

The old woman repeated all the words that the master and the old lady said in their last quarrel. The more she said, the less responsibility she felt.

"I didn't say a word of nonsense. The old master and the old lady were arguing loudly, and I wasn't the only one who heard it. If you don't believe me, you can ask others. Master Shanqiao's mother also heard what happened today."

He Wenliang said, "You all know the seriousness of this matter. If anyone goes out and says something nonsense, all of us will die."

The old woman knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Don't worry, Third Master. Even if you beat me to death, I won't tell anyone. My family is all in the He family. I won't tell anyone about such a life-threatening matter, even to my own family."

The terrible thing is that He Wenyan asked why his mother didn't go to the palace to give birth to a princess. According to what he said, does he still have to be a prince?

This is rebellious talk.

He Wenliang didn't have time to think about anything else and hurried to his mother. Doctor Zhang was giving his mother acupuncture. He asked Xiao Mo and Yu Po to go back. After all, Xiao Mo was pregnant and couldn't stand the fright.

After the needle was pulled out, it was a long time before Mrs. Jiang woke up. She let out a long breath, opened her eyes, looked around, and then struggled to get up.

He Wenliang saw that his mother's eyes were blank.

Old Mrs. Jiang sat up, touched her head, and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
