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

At the Cao family, Old Mrs. Cao looked at her daughter-in-law with a guilty look on her face.

She knew that her daughter-in-law blamed Yue'e, because it was Yue'e who came back and talked about drinking medicine, which caused Yue'e's sister to die.

During this smallpox epidemic, two people from the daughter-in-law's family died. Her stepmother came and scolded her, asking why she didn't inform her family about the vaccination in advance, and saying that the daughter-in-law just wanted to make life difficult for her family.

Old Mrs. Cao said to her daughter-in-law, "If Yue'e hadn't come back and told you, would you blame her for not notifying her parents in advance? It's not blame, it's hatred."

Mrs. Cao lowered her head. Her youngest son had come into contact with someone infected with smallpox, and she was so frightened that she couldn't sleep every day. She confined her son to the woodshed and took care of him personally, throwing in the food and cooking it herself.

But her son was fine, and she was fine too, she just became thinner due to hunger, and was terrified for a month.

My mother-in-law takes good care of the home and our family is safe and sound.

"It's already spread outside that Grandma Yue'e was awarded the title of First-Rank Imperial Consort for her contribution to the prescription. If it weren't for her, how many people would have died this time? Let me say that it was through her that the Queen Mother Xiao saved the people from suffering from the smallpox disaster.

"I was worried about Yue'e's first daughter, worried that her mother-in-law would be unhappy because of this. But Yue'e's mother-in-law said that both boys and girls are good. Yes, she is a woman herself and does not rely on men. I admire her. The He family is so lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Cao knelt down, choking with tears in her eyes, and said, "Mother, I was wrong."

Old Madam Cao sighed, "Get up. No one is perfect. Think more before you act. I've made mistakes myself. Yue'e and you both gave birth to my granddaughters. I favor Yue'e because she doesn't get as much love from my own mother. I know you're dissatisfied with me because of this. After this, you should understand why I favor Yue'e. Otherwise, how pitiful it would be if Yue'e had no one to care for her when she encountered trouble."

Mrs. Cao stood up in shame.

"I'll go check on Yue'e and send some things over."

Old Mrs. Cao nodded.

Mo Chenxi hadn't left yet. She was stunned when she saw Madam Cao coming over. She hadn't seen Madam Cao for a long time. She also knew that Madam Cao resented Yue'e because of the death of her youngest daughter, and indirectly blamed her.

This time the Cao family is fine. Mrs. Cao should thank her stepdaughter, right?

It is said that being a stepmother is not easy, and being a stepson or stepdaughter is not easy either.

The two of them felt very unfamiliar with each other. Mo Chenxi politely invited Mrs. Cao to sit down. She was in a bad mood at the moment and had no intention of taking care of other people's emotions or thinking about others.

Mrs. Cao herself was a little embarrassed. She said, "I came to see Yue'e and brought her some things. Some of them were prepared by my mother-in-law."

Mo Chenxi asked Mother Wang to send Madam Cao to her daughter-in-law's yard. Madam Cao felt regretful when she saw that Madam Mo didn't say a word to her politely.

First of all, there is the He family, whom she has distanced herself from. If it were her, she wouldn't be able to do what you want, either paying attention to me or estrange me as you want. She wouldn't get close to such people.

When Cao Yue'e saw her stepmother, she didn't show any displeasure on her face, and smiled the same way as before.

She gave birth to a child and understood that her own children were different from those of others. Why did she ask people who did not give birth to her to treat her like their own children?

She couldn't do it either.

After I figured it out, I won't be bothered by it anymore. My mother-in-law said that life is actually very short and there are many things to do. When a woman gets married and has children, more and more people will feel sorry for her.

Yes, she is very busy every day now and seldom thinks about her stepmother and half-siblings. How can she expect her stepmother to think about her and plan for her all the time?

Mrs. Zhao came, Mrs. Qiu San came, and Mrs. Liao came. These were relatives by marriage who came to congratulate Mo Chenxi on being conferred the first-rank imperial title.

They were all very conscious of not laughing or talking, but there were smiles in their eyes and eyebrows, and they didn't stay for long, after all, there was still a patient in the He family.

Mo Chenxi returned to her parents' home. Her family was overjoyed. She spoke to her father alone.

Mo Yuanji breathed a sigh of relief, but did not tell his daughter that the emperor was not using He Shankun as a shield as others said.

At that time, he wondered why Shan Kun was asked to be his study partner, and he pondered over it for a long time.

The emperor had never met Shankun before, and perhaps he wanted Shankun to be a shield for Ji Lifu. After all, the emperor did not dare to touch the members of the Ji family. Otherwise, the Ji family would commit suicide to prove their integrity, which even Ji Chengping could do. Then the literati in the world would be in turmoil.

Unexpectedly, Shan Kun caught the emperor's eye, and somehow he became a member of the Shen family.

Did the Queen Mother do something?

In this way, the Shen family wanted to use their relatives to interfere in government affairs, but few ministers followed their lead.

All he could think of was that the Queen Mother allowed the little prince to wait until he was three years old before entering the palace, which severed the mother-son relationship between Queen Shen and the little prince.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Queen Mother will raise the little prince personally when he returns to the palace, and Empress Shen will not give birth to another prince, so as to avoid the incident of Wu Jiang, where she was partial to the youngest son and wanted him to become emperor and seize the throne from her eldest son.

Mo Yuanji only told his daughter to be careful in everything, remember that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and not to get carried away just because she had the status of a first-rank imperial minister.

Mo Chenxi thought to herself, she had studied history, although she was not proficient in it, she had watched a lot of TV dramas and read a lot of novels. Even if her father didn't tell her, she knew what to do.

But he still had to listen to his father's teachings and be grateful to him.

Mo Chenxi had to keep a low profile and pack up and leave quickly. There was nothing much to arrange at home, and she had left it alone for many years.

She called Xiao Mo and gave her a few banknotes. She found that as long as Xiao Mo saw the banknotes, her face would smile and her eyes would light up. This joy came from the heart.

She didn't know that before Xiao Mo entered the He family, she didn't even have a hundred copper coins in her hand. Her biggest wish in this life was to save the money she had.

After Mo Chenxi came back, she never saw He Wenyan. She would not take the initiative to see him, and He Wenyan did not take the initiative to see her. Little Mo did not mention the matter of the master. It was Wang Wang's mother who told her that Little Mo had divided the task of taking care of He Wenyan among the three concubines, each for one month.

Fortunately, He Wenyan doesn’t dare to make trouble now, and the concubines are not so miserable.

He Wenyan knew that his wife had returned, that she had been conferred the title of first-rank official, and that the medicine that his family had drunk last time, including him and his mother, had caused his mother to make a fuss and say someone was trying to poison her, was used to prevent smallpox, so this time the entire He family was safe.

Is this the wife he married?

He knew that his wife was capable. Ever since she married him, the He family depended on her, which allowed him to concentrate on his work outside.

He thought that no matter how capable his wife was, she was still the one who had to support him. He did not expect that without him, his wife would be even more capable than before.

It shouldn't be like this, but it is like this.

He couldn't remember when they had argued and his wife said she looked down on him.

He also looked down on himself. He was a man, and the family should rely on him. His wife should look up to him, instead of him hiding in the shadows and watching his wife walk out of the He family in the sunshine.

And I haven't seen the sun for a long time.
