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

He Wenliang came out of the Mo family, found a deserted place, and stomped his feet and shouted.

So frustrating.

If he had a father-in-law like the Mo family and a daughter-in-law like his sister-in-law, he would be extremely grateful to his father-in-law, and he would work together with his wife to strive hard to live a good life.

Not only do I have to live a good life at home, I also have to repay my father-in-law.

But what has Big Brother done over the years?

Not to mention the past ten years, let’s just talk about when the eldest brother returned to his hometown. The Mo family put aside their past grudges and gave him one thousand taels of silver, just to save his face so that he could return home with enough money.

As soon as the eldest brother came back, he found someone to exorcise the ghost for the eldest sister-in-law. No wonder the Mo family was so angry.

Who wouldn’t be angry if it were anyone else?

The Mo family gave their son-in-law one thousand taels of silver, and borrowed money from everywhere to buy a shop.

He Wenliang really wanted to go back and ask his elder brother, what is in your head?

Mo's father said that the eldest brother is upright and noble. Humph, does the eldest brother really think that others don't know this?

Upright and noble?

If you have the ability, don’t take your father-in-law’s money!

He Wenliang did not go home, but went to the place where the restaurant was being built.

He couldn't change his elder brother, so he could only do what he could and see what he could do in the restaurant.

When he got there, Mo Xinzhi asked with a dark face, "What are you doing here?"

He Wenliang smiled bitterly in his heart. Yesterday, his sister-in-law's brother softened his attitude towards him, but now he had to start smiling again from the beginning.

He didn't mention what happened today, and said, "I've finished my work today and came to see what I can do. Brother Mo, please don't be polite and treat me like your own brother."

Mo Xinzhi said, "No need."

He didn't like someone, so he ignored them and didn't say anything unpleasant. He walked to the other side to watch the craftsmen working.

He Wenliang stood there awkwardly.

Wang Jingye didn't know what had happened between the two families, and he felt a little sympathetic towards He Wenliang.

Because he was often treated like this by his stubborn brother-in-law.

He patted He Wenliang on the shoulder and said, "Brother He, I have some numbers for you to calculate. I am not impatient to do these things."

He Wenliang knew that Brother Wang had helped him to smooth things over, and he was very grateful. He followed him to a simple wooden shed with tables and chairs, which was a temporary place for work.

He Wenliang calculated the accounts and was surprised to find that it had only taken a short while to make a profit of 1,200 taels of silver.

If someone hadn't lent the Mo family money, they really wouldn't have been able to open a restaurant.

He was also worried about the Mo family. If the restaurant failed to succeed, they would lose everything.

But he couldn't say it. The Mo family's father thought more long-term than he thought. If he said too much, he would be annoying.

He didn't plan to say yes to his elder brother either.

Wang Jingye was curious about what happened in the He and Mo families. He didn't need to send anyone to inquire, as rumors spread that He Wenyan went to perform a shaman ritual as soon as he came back.

Wang Jingye was filled with hysterics. Was Mo's husband stupid? He, as Mo's husband, desperately wanted to make everyone forget about this. Was he hiring a shaman to help others remember his wife's possession? How had Mo's husband managed to become a fifth-rank official?

Out of curiosity, Wang Jingye specifically asked Eunuch Liang to investigate.

Eunuch Liang knew what was going on without even checking, but he pretended to check anyway.

Reply to Wang Jingye: He Yuanwailang was initially assisted by his father-in-law, and his father-in-law also often took care of things for him. Wu Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel and Mo Dianshu knew each other, but He Yuanwailang was unaware of this and did not know about it. Wu Langzhong said that He Yuanwailang was a bit pedantic, but he worked diligently and was not afraid of hard work.

He also listed the reasons why He Yuanwailang was promoted several times, and they showed that it was not special treatment.

Wang Jingye invited Mo Xinzhi to drink and found out that Mo's father had given his son-in-law 1,200 taels of silver to return home.

He went to the palace and told the Queen Mother about it, and sighed.

"Mo Dianshu hadn't bought a shop yet and was planning to buy one when he was able to give his son-in-law one thousand taels of silver. This was solid silver, not a small amount for the Mo family, but he took it out without blinking an eye.

"He really treats his son-in-law like his own son, but what kind of thing is this? No wonder his superiors call him pedantic and rigid. That's a nice way of putting it. Let me say he's stupid, not just stupid, but also treacherous. He pretends to be like that because his father-in-law's family loves their daughter. This person is unacceptable and is not as good as his brothers."

Queen Mother Wang had learned everything from Eunuch Liang, but she did not know that Mo Dianshu had given He Yuanwailang 1,000 taels of silver.

After listening to what her cousin said, she was moved by everything the Mo family had done for their daughter, and felt a warmth in her heart.

Even though she became the queen and the empress dowager, her grandfather didn't look upon her with any respect, and her father blamed her because she made things difficult for him.

Which child doesn’t long for a mother-in-law who cares about them wholeheartedly?

Which woman doesn’t desire to have a husband who loves her wholeheartedly?

But she didn't.

Mrs. Mo is happier than her, having parents who care about her like this.

However, people are never perfect, and Mrs. Mo married such a husband.

Queen Mother Wang asked Wang Jingye, "Why did Yuanwailang favor his concubine and kill his wife?"

Wang Jingye said, "I don't think so. I've never heard Dazhi talk about this. He just said that the He family treated his eldest sister badly."

Queen Mother Wang understood that Mr. He was like her father.

She also felt sympathy for Mrs. Mo. Marrying a husband like this, you wouldn't say he was a bad person. He followed the rules, did things in a methodical manner, and didn't favor concubines over his wife. Outsiders thought that whoever married him would be blessed.

But his parents and brothers are more important than his wife, and he also cares about face and thinks he is noble.

Queen Mother Wang asked Eunuch Liang to give some advice to Doctor Wu and demoted He Yuanwailang one level to a sixth-rank official.

The duties of the head of the Ministry of Personnel include managing documents, handling cases, and supervising the work of subordinate officials.

The Queen Mother could not deal with her own biological father, but she could deal with Mo's husband.

When Eunuch Liang went to tell Doctor Wu about this, he added, "I heard there's a complicated case in Tongzhou that needs someone who can handle it seriously."

Tongzhou is not far from the capital. He Wenyan is busy with official business, so he can go home once every few days to avoid being idle and thinking about things.

Doctor Wu didn't know how He Wenyan's matter alarmed Eunuch Liang, and he couldn't tell Mo Yuanji that it was Eunuch Liang who gave him the order personally.

He Wenyan had just returned from his hometown, having taken leave under the pretext of filial piety. Now...

Doctor Wu had no choice but to take the responsibility of offending others and, within the scope of compromise, let He Wenyan rest for three days before going to Tongzhou.

He Wenyan was dumbfounded. How could he be demoted just after returning home?

Could it be that the fortune teller was right? He was indeed going to have a disaster.

Then I thought about how my father-in-law knew Doctor Wu, so what did he do in between?

He Wenyan went to Doctor Wu's house in person and mentioned his father-in-law in his words.

Doctor Wu was immediately displeased and felt that He Wenyan had evil intentions.

"I do know Lord Mo. We served in the same court. I respect Lord Mo. If we talk about people with a pure heart, Lord Mo is one of them."

Serve tea to see the guests off.

He Wenyan walked to the door of the Mo family in a depressed mood, and then returned to his own home with a dejected look.

He couldn't understand it. He was sincere to others, worked diligently, treated his wife with respect, was humble towards his siblings, was filial to his mother, was a good father to his children, and was always respectful to his wife's family. What had he done wrong?

Even if he had let his wife bear the burden of the household expenses before, hadn't he always been inferior to his wife and his wife's family? Had he always worked hard, hoping to be promoted to the fourth rank so that he could repay his wife?

Why is God unfair to him?

He remembered that there was a calligraphy hanging in his father-in-law's study: Be generous to yourself and be strict with others.

Thinking about it, his mother did the opposite. If he had known this would happen, he should have advised his mother well.

After all, it was my mother's immorality that brought me trouble.
