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

After hearing what Madam Mo said, Madam Zhao thought for a moment and said, "It's no wonder that Doctor An is so cautious. People are like that. It's fine if it benefits their own family, but if something goes wrong, they forget their initial gratitude. They should have been more careful. This is no ordinary matter. It's unreasonable to blame others after signing the document."

"It'll take a month for you to take the medicine, and the weather is getting cold, so I guess it won't be in time. How about this, next year, after the New Year, when it gets warmer, please ask Doctor An to make arrangements."

Mo Chenxi said, "It's still early, let's talk about it next year. But this matter cannot be disclosed, so as to avoid people speculating."

Mrs. Zhao and her mother-in-law agreed.

Mo Chenxi went to visit her daughter again, but Mrs. Zhao did not follow her, letting the mother and daughter talk.

She returned to her mother-in-law's room and whispered, "Mother, do you think what Jingyi's mother said is feasible?"

Madam Zhao said, "If it were anyone else, I'd have to think about it. Jingyi's mother only told us this for our own good. I don't think this is necessarily about preventing a cold snap as she said. Last year and the beginning of this year, she wasn't seen leaving the house; she stayed at the manor. At that time, I wondered what might be going on, and it must be this. Jingyi's mother is not an ordinary person, so it's no mistake to follow her. I know she's afraid that if something happens, we'll blame her. I'm not that kind of person. I signed the document and took responsibility for it, and you should do the same."

Mrs. Zhao nodded and said, "I know. She said the child can only be born when he is seven or eight years old. It must be a big deal. If... in the future... I can keep the child, I will do anything."

Old Madam Zhao took a deep breath. She couldn't tell this to her son. She would try to fool him by saying that this folk remedy could help him give birth to more sons.

He Jingyi was very happy to see her mother coming. She asked about the situation at her maternal grandparents' home, and Mo Chenxi picked out the good news and told them.

She didn't mention anything about Old Mrs. Jiang. He Jingyi learned about her mother's family situation from her sister, and she didn't ask since her mother didn't mention it.

After getting married, I understood even more clearly how hard my mother's life was. She had a mother-in-law like my grandmother and an inconsiderate husband like my father.

He Jingyi is the eldest daughter and spends the most time with her mother, which means she has witnessed how her parents get along with each other.

She thought that all men were like her father, who had no hope in marriage and that as long as the mother-in-law was nice and didn't cause her any trouble, that was enough.

Unexpectedly, her husband was not good at studying, was not good-looking, and was not very good at speaking, but he was considerate to her.

She had a headache and fever, and her husband was nervous and rushed to find a doctor. Every time she had her period, her husband never slept in a separate room to keep her stomach warm.

She also said that it was her mother-in-law who taught her.

During those days of the month when my mother was away, my father never showed up. He would go to my aunt's room or to the study.

My grandmother said that men cannot stand bad luck.

How can a woman get pregnant and have a baby without bad luck every month?

Why is it unlucky?

He Jingyi was half lying down. Seeing her mother give her another banknote, she refused and said, "Mom, my mother-in-law gives me money every month. You don't have to give it to me. Save it for Shan Kun to marry a daughter-in-law."

Mo Chenxi said, "They're ready. Keep these for your use. Your mother-in-law and great-grandmother-in-law are good to you, so you can send someone to buy some things for them. Buy whatever your son-in-law likes. It's convenient for you to spend money. As for the servants, you can give them tips from time to time. They will also serve you wholeheartedly. Just don't be a sucker. Be good to those who are good to you. People are mutual, otherwise others will think you are trying to fool them. Your mother-in-law and I always think about each other, which is why we have been together for more than ten years."

She couldn't say, "Don't learn from your mother."

But Jingyi is a smart person and knows what she didn't say.

Indeed, He Jingyi felt sad. She felt sorry for her previous mother. Fortunately, her mother became clear-headed after her illness.

Her mother probably gave her this warning because she was worried that she would follow in her old ways.

Mo Chenxi went back to her mother's house. She wanted to tell her father about vaccination to prevent smallpox. She hadn't mentioned it before because she wanted to see how the Queen Mother would handle it.

Today, the Queen Mother clearly stated that the promotion would not take place at the moment, so she had to tell her father the truth and believed that her father would not tell anyone.

Mo Yuanji was shocked after hearing what his daughter said. He had been wondering why Doctor An brought so many doctors to the manor, and why his daughter was with them.

"Dad, I've asked Shanluo and Shankun to take leave. I'll do it first this time. My nephews and nieces are old enough, so it'd be best if they get vaccinated too. But no one can guarantee this, so I'm just in case."

When Mo Yuanji saw that his daughter was fine after the vaccination, he blamed her for being too careless.

"Why didn't you tell me so I could let your mother take care of you? Your body can't handle anything else. If your mother knew, she wouldn't be able to sleep again."

Mo Chenxi said, "We were all in the village at the time, so there was no way to pass on the news. I knew about it beforehand, so I ate a lot a few months in advance. Didn't mother say I gained a lot of weight? I was just preparing for the vaccination."

Mo Yuanji pondered for a moment and said, "Then after you finish the vaccination, vaccinate the Mo family. I will arrange food for this month. Eat more meat."

Mo Chenxi was a little worried, "Dad, I can't tell the truth to Mom, my brother, and my sister-in-law. What if..."

Mo Yuanji interrupted his daughter and said, "It's better than getting smallpox. You haven't experienced it at your age. When I was a child, a child in a nearby village got smallpox. Not only did the whole family die, but the entire village was locked down, and only a few people survived. A family from our Mo family visited that village, and someone surrounded them and burned them."

Mo Chenxi knew that there were historical records of villages being burned one after another, but it still seemed cruel to him.

"It's cruel, but it's better than if the whole village was infected and more people died. It wasn't just that village, several villages were infected. The court officials would just drop off medicine from afar. Those people returned to the capital and could only live in tents outside the city. If there was anything, a group of people would send them to the mountains. I told my family that according to what you said, it was to prevent the cold wave. If anything happens, I will be responsible. If anyone wants to blame it, it should be me."

Mo Chenxi stopped talking. If she were to speak, it would be her father's intention. She was heartbroken. If there really was smallpox, everyone would die in droves.

After Mo Chenxi returned, he asked Mother Wang to send some prepared masks, and copied a recipe for soaking medicinal herbs to his father, asking the family to prepare it in advance.

She started here, and it was also divided into two parts. She told the servants that there was a possibility of an emergency, and those who agreed signed and sealed it.

The elderly, infirm and young children are not allowed to participate.

When the servants saw that the lady and the two maids were fine after taking the medicine, they agreed without hesitation.

After Doctor An arrived, he took everyone's pulse and eliminated those who felt unwell.

As for Cao Yue'e, she is in the next batch. Because we want her to gain weight, Xiao Mo will not participate because she is breastfeeding.

A month later, all of them survived, and only He Shankun had a scar on his face.

Mo Chenxi saw that he was in good spirits and was not unhappy about the scar.

She comforted him, "It will go away after a while."

He Shankun said: "It's okay, I'm not a little girl. It would be ugly if Lifu had a scar."

The Ji and Wang families were vaccinated at the same time as them, and Mo Chenxi still didn't know how they were doing.

Fortunately, Doctor An only selected patients with good health, and none of them had any accidents.

Next was the Mo family. Mo Chenxi was worried and went there in person. Unexpectedly, his father and mother took the lead in person to reassure their family. Fortunately, both of them were fat, and after half a month, apart from losing ten pounds, there was no problem.
