I don’t know how long I slept, but I could hear crying in my ears.

Mo Chenxi woke up and heard He Wenyan's low and cautious voice: "Mother-in-law, the doctor said that the lady is in a deep sleep and will wake up when she has had enough sleep."

Old Madam Mo's voice: "How exhausted are you to collapse right after returning? You've been sick for over two months, and this is how you recuperate? Your He family..."

Another voice: "Alright, go outside and talk if you have anything to say."

This is Mo Yuanji.

Mo Chenxi opened her eyes and struggled to sit up. Old Madam Mo was pleasantly surprised and said, "My daughter, you're finally awake. I was so scared. Your father didn't sleep all night. He asked the doctor to take his pulse for an hour."

Mo Yuanji took a step forward and leaned forward, "My son-in-law came last night and stayed up all night without eating or drinking."

Mo Chenxi sat up with the help of her mother and forced a smile, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Just wake up, have some porridge first."

Old Mrs. Mo glared at her husband and asked the servants to bring in the toilet. Mo Yuanji and He Wenyan left in embarrassment.

The two of them went to the study, and He Wenyan said with a look of shame: "It's all my son-in-law's fault. Jingyi's mother has suffered."

Mo Yuanji said, "Don't say that. Jingyi's mother married you and worked hard for your family. It is her responsibility as a daughter-in-law. However, as a man, you should be loyal to the emperor, filial to your parents, loyal to your wife, loyal to your friends, and responsible to your children. Loyalty, filial piety, chastity, and righteousness, if you are not loyal, filial, and righteous, then you are a good man.

"Jingyi's mother is filial to your mother because of you. The surname of the child she gave birth to is He. Shouldn't you love her more than just the love between husband and wife?

"I know you think she is not a virtuous daughter-in-law for leaving her husband's family and returning to her parents' home, and letting your mother work hard for your He family."

Mo Yuanji emphasized the three words "He family". He tried not to say much about his son-in-law and tried his best to make his daughter's life easier. However, He Wenyan complained as soon as she came. His daughter was so sick that she fell into a coma when she came back. The son-in-law didn't ask a single question, but instead complained that his daughter had abandoned the whole family and returned to her parents' home.

He couldn't tolerate this. Did they really think that the Mo family was so impoverished that they were afraid of having a son-in-law who was a fifth-rank official?

He didn't even think about the fact that it was the Mo family who helped his son-in-law get to where he is today.

"But don't you know what's going on with Jingyi's mother? Or do you think the wife you married is made of iron and will be full of energy the next day after taking some medicine and continue to work hard for the He family?"

He Wenyan stood up to be scolded. This was the first time that his father-in-law scolded him like this since he became the son-in-law of the Mo family.

He regretted listening to what his mother said, that his wife's health had improved and her complexion was rosy. His mother also said that she was in a hurry to follow her mother-in-law as if the He family had burned her feet, and she didn't take anything with her. If someone didn't know, they would think that the Mo family was letting their daughter go home.

He Wenyan has been busy at the government office recently and his home is a mess. He made a mistake in his work and was scolded by his superior. When he returned home, his wife took their son and daughter back to her parents' home.

He was furious after hearing what his mother said. At this critical moment, his wife only cared about herself and didn't even offer to help his mother with household chores.

He wanted to go to the Mo family and hear what his father-in-law had to say.

Unexpectedly, after he arrived, his wife was in a coma, his mother-in-law was crying, and she looked at him as if she wanted to eat him.

He Wenyan was also shocked. Didn't the doctor say that she would be fine if she rested? Didn't his mother say that his wife passed away happily?

He had been on guard all night, and now he couldn't say a word when listening to his father-in-law scolding him.

"Jingyi's mother is awake. I heard she almost fainted twice at the He family. How old was she? Thirty-five! Her son and daughter are unmarried. If she's gone like this, I'm going to go to your He family and ask what kind of life my daughter will have after marrying into your family. Why did she leave them so young? Is she cruel, or is your He family unkind?"

He Wenyan lowered his head, and Mo Yuanji took a deep breath. His daughter had woken up, and he couldn't go too far. After all, his daughter would have to return to the He family to live.

"How you become a good son is your business. I only care about my daughter. If there are similar situations in the future, my Mo family won't be afraid of gossip. At worst, you and Jingyi's mother can divide the property and live separately! My Mo family can afford to raise a grandson. Jingyi's mother and her two brothers will only care about their eldest sister and won't despise her."

He Wenyan was shocked. If his wife divided his property and separated from him, how could he hold his head up in front of outsiders?

"Father-in-law, this is all my fault. This won't happen again. I have no ulterior motives towards Jingyi's mother. It's just that I've been busy with the government office and neglected my family. Don't worry, father-in-law. I know I was wrong and will definitely take better care of my wife."

Mo Yuanji sneered in his heart. It is precisely because you have no other thoughts that I allow you to be my son-in-law. If you favor your concubine and kill your wife, I will make your He family return to its original state.

He said gently, "I was also frightened by Jingyi's mother. As a father, I can't help but worry about my daughter even if she becomes a grandmother. I said it just now, please understand, you are also a father."

He Wenyan smiled and said, "My father-in-law taught me a lesson, and I have taken note of it."

"Jingyi's mother has woken up, so you should go back early. If Doctor Wu asks, just say you're back in the countryside to see me."

He Wenyan was shocked. He had never heard his father-in-law mention that he knew his boss, Doctor Wu.

Fortunately, he has always been respectful to Yue's family and loving to his wife, and never felt that he looked down on his wife because he was promoted to the fifth rank.

It was his mother's words that influenced him. He should listen less to her complaints in the future.

Before leaving, He Wenyan went to see his wife and saw that her face looked even gloomier than before, but there was light in her eyes.

He was feeling unwell. Did he feel better after returning to his mother's home?

How did the He family treat her unfairly?

But he didn't dare show it at all. He gently took his wife's hand and was shocked again.

When did Madam's hands become like this?

There is no meat at all, it looks like...chicken feet.

At this time, he felt guilty and really felt sorry for his wife. It was all for the He family. His wife worked so hard that she became like this. No wonder his father-in-law was angry.

Mo Chenxi listened to He Wenyan's soft words, with a look of guilt and heartache on his face.

She thought that her original self would be moved by this.

It's a pity that she is not the original one.

But, they are not enemies.

Just think of it as her changing jobs and changing her boss. The difference is that she has shares and can make her own decisions.

She also thought about it. She was a 35-year-old middle-aged woman with a son and a daughter, neither of whom had started a family. How could she be willing to divorce her brother-in-law and return to her parents' home? Wouldn't it be hard work if she remarried?

Do you really think you can meet a domineering CEO who will fall in love with me who is about to go through menopause?

It’s better to stay in the He family and be the original wife.

Before leaving, He Wenyan told her to have a good rest and not to worry about home.

Mo Chenxi smiled and said yes.

To be honest, she is not worried about the He family.

He Wenyan thought that his wife was still the same as before, still had him in her heart and was always full of love for him. Look at that smile, how sweet it was.

Mo Chenxi lay down comfortably, feeling much more comfortable than when she was at the He family. No one whispered to her what happened to the He family.

Don't listen, I want to know.

After hearing this, she, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, wanted to open her mouth and give orders.

Now it’s okay, out of sight, out of mind.

Plan your future days well.
