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

When Madam Jiang heard Mo Chenxi say that he forced his original wife to hang herself for the sake of a concubine, her face changed.

When her brothers from her natal family got married, Concubine Jiang was not yet in favor.

Later, her brothers from her mother's family disliked her sister-in-law a little and indeed favored a concubine, forcing her to hang herself. Fortunately, she did not die. She even scolded her sister-in-law when she returned to her mother's family.

She thought Mo Chenxi knew about her family and was secretly mocking her.

Mo Chenxi used this analogy; she had no idea that Madam Jiang's family was so immoral.

Madam Jiang's expression changed for a moment, but then she quickly recovered, still smiling as she said, "I heard that Lord He has three concubines. People outside are praising Madam He for her virtue. Who knows, she might demand her daughter-in-law to be just as virtuous."

Mo Chenxi was delighted to hear this. She had originally wanted to express her attitude to the women present. Even if the Cao family's marriage failed, there would be other women who would consider Shanluo because of her words.

She said, "Our master has a concubine because it is our filial piety to our elders."

What this means is that the concubine was given by Old Madam Jiang.

"But I like to live a quiet life. I just hope that my son and daughter-in-law will be safe and sound, and that the young couple can live in harmony. We are not a wealthy family, and the He family courtyard can't accommodate too many people."

Madam Jiang seemed to be harassing Mo Chenxi to no end today. She deliberately sighed and said, "That's what I think, but if my son doesn't have many children, I always want to have more grandchildren."

Mo Chenxi smiled, just waiting for her to say this.

"How the young couple live their lives is up to them. I won't interfere and won't be that annoying mother-in-law. I have two sons, so I'm not worried about not having grandchildren. As for whether my son and daughter-in-law want to take a concubine, pawn a concubine, or adopt a child, it's up to them to discuss it.

"In life, the most important thing is harmony. If your son and daughter-in-law live in harmony, why worry about not having grandchildren? The Bodhisattva will bless you, don't you think so, Madam Jiang?"

Mrs. Jiang's face changed again. She only had one son. When Mrs. Mo said this, she smacked her.

Mo Chenxi didn't have to argue with the powerful in public just to get a good word in. If it were someone else, she would probably tolerate it, after all, her status and background were inferior to theirs.

But Mrs. Jiang is such a nasty person and always targets her.

She also asked her father, and her father said that now is not the time when the late emperor is still alive, meaning that the Jiang family's favorite concubine is a thing of the past.

Mrs. Jiang used to offend many people because the Jiang family had a favorite concubine, and others had no choice but to endure it.

Now?

I can't wait to see her laugh.

The women present were watching a grand spectacle, enjoying it with gusto. When Mrs. Zhao saw that it was almost over, she said to Mrs. Jiang, "Why didn't you bring the Fifth Miss with you today?"

Mrs. Jiang's youngest daughter, the fifth daughter of the Jiang family, was said to look like Concubine Jiang in the palace. Mrs. Jiang was very proud of her daughter and used to take her with her wherever she went, but in the past year, she had not been seen taking her out.

Seeing that Old Madam Zhao had smoothed things over, Madam Jiang no longer targeted Mo Chenxi. She had never realized that someone with the surname Mo was so eloquent.

Next time I go to the palace, I will tell the Queen Dowager that a small family like the He family dares to disrespect the Jiang family.

When Mrs. Zhao asked about her daughter, she immediately became alert and said with a smile on her face, "My daughter Xiaowu is studying with her teacher now and rarely goes out."

Madam Zhao and Madam Cao looked at each other.

Mrs. Jiang's youngest daughter, Jiang Manrou, is ten years old this year. In the past, Mrs. Jiang always called her daughter Manrou, but this time she only mentioned her ranking.

The two old ladies thought at the same time that the emperor was eleven years old. Could it be that the Jiang family wanted to have a favorite concubine?

Nothing happened after the banquet, but the female members of the family all changed their opinion of Mo Chenxi. They had seen her before, and she was not so bold.

Some people thought that maybe it was because he was possessed by Mrs. Chang?

It is difficult for others to see ghosts with their own eyes. Mo and ghosts coexist in one body, so naturally he is different from others.

Mrs. Jiang was a villain who had achieved success, but she was not mentally retarded. Seeing that Mo Chenxi was not easy to deal with, she stopped talking.

Except for her, everyone else at the banquet was happy. Some of the female relatives who had been ridiculed by Mrs. Jiang before were even more cheerful.

They didn't have the courage or the eloquence to deal with Mrs. Jiang, so they were secretly happy that someone did it for them.

Madam Cao was very pleased with Mo Chenxi, and even more so after meeting He Jingyi. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were both good. If Mrs. Mo could raise her daughter to be well-mannered, then her son wouldn't be far behind.

She told Mrs. Zhao that if the He family agreed, the marriage would be settled.

She also said regretfully: "It's just that the exchange marriage is not good, otherwise I would really like her eldest daughter."

Madam Zhao was delighted and said with a smile, "Even if we can exchange the marriage, you are still a step too late."

Mrs. Cao reacted and pointed at her and said happily, "So I'm at your house. Congratulations."

Madam Zhao said, "I'm very happy. If it works out, we'll be relatives in the future."

She was happy when her favorite granddaughter-in-law was praised by others.

When Mo Chenxi returned home, the first thing he asked his daughter was, "How is Miss Cao?"

She didn't tell her daughter in advance that today was a blind date because she wanted Jingyi to look at it from a girl's perspective, rather than as a future sister-in-law. Otherwise, she would be picky.

After hearing her mother ask this, He Jingyi understood that this was to help her elder brother find a girlfriend.

"I've met Miss Cao a few times before, and we didn't talk much, but I heard from others that she has a bad temper. She always picks on her stepmother and isn't close to her brothers and sisters. I think she's okay. I haven't seen her say anything bad about her stepmother outside. Unlike some young ladies, when they sit together, they either say bad things about their stepmother or make up stories about their father's concubine."

Mo Chenxi believed that the original body had successfully educated her daughter, and that He Jingyi had such correct ideas because of Mo's usual teachings.

"We were sitting together and talking today. Miss Cao is very caring. We can hear the elders talking while we are sitting there. There was a person who was not very sensible and wanted to talk about the topic, but Miss Cao quickly changed the subject."

Cao Yue'e probably understood that she was being arranged to have a blind date, and the fact that she was kind to Jingyi meant that she agreed to the marriage.

Mo Chenxi couldn't make the decision on the marriage of the eldest son of the He family, so she went back to her parents' home to tell them

Mo Yuanji sighed, "If Shanluo passes the imperial examination this time..."

It means finding a better marriage.

He smiled again, "I'm greedy. The Cao family is also OK. Although Cao is only a sixth-rank official, he has a cousin who is a prefect in another province. The Cao family is also a big family. The old lady of the Cao family is a bit powerful, but she does things clearly and clearly."

He knew what an old lady's temperament was like because when he was looking for a marriage for his daughter, he also paid attention to Cao, but later he did not consider her. Firstly, the Cao family might not be interested in the Mo family, and secondly, it was said that Mrs. Cao had a rather strict personality.

Mrs. Jiang acted very kind, and after some inquiries, I found out that she was indeed very kind.

Who could have thought that with her son's promotion, Mrs. Jiang would turn into a villain with a successful face.

Mo Yuanji had suffered a setback with his daughter, so when choosing a marriage partner for his grandchildren, he would not consider those from small families. No matter how outstanding the talent was, he would not take the risk.

Mo Chenxi said, "I wonder if Shanluo and Miss Cao are interested in each other?"

This is easy. Find an opportunity to go to a bookstore, pretend to meet by chance, and let the two young people meet.

If you have no objection, you can make the decision.
