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

On the day that Mrs. Wang and her family went to the farm, Mo Chenxi also had a good rest.

I laughed at myself for becoming a third party.

Fortunately, I don’t cook every meal. I only cook one or two dishes a day, and the rest are made by the cook.

Because her body couldn't take it.

This made her exhausted.

I was lying at home when the servant said that the master had returned.

Mo Chenxi sat up. She had been so busy for a while that she had forgotten that she had a husband.

She got up from the bed and He Wenyan walked in.

"Not feeling well?"

Mo Chenxi said: "I was a little tired. I just lay down when the master came back."

He Wenyan sat down and said considerately, "Don't come out if you're tired. I came back to deliver the information. My boss told me to go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Mo Chenxi didn't know how to talk to him about family matters, so she walked out and asked him to cook a few more dishes in the evening.

He went back and took the tea brought by Qiuyan and handed it to He Wenyan.

He Wenyan took the tea, took a sip and asked, "Did my third brother have a son or a daughter?"

Mo Chenxi replied: "It's a son."

He Wenyan said happily: "My third brother will be happy now. He has long said that he wants to give his daughter Yu'er a younger brother."

One of his concubines was due to give birth in September. He knew that his wife would make arrangements, so he didn't want to ask her as soon as he entered the house. He asked about his third brother to see if his wife would mention it. He was a little disappointed when she didn't mention it.

He took out a silver note and placed it on the table. "I've given you a double salary. Keep it."

Mo Chenxi said thank you and remembered that he had not told him about Shanluo’s engagement yet, so he told him now.

After hearing this, He Wenyan was even more disappointed. Although he had told his wife before leaving that the marriage in Shanluo could be discussed with his father-in-law, it was already decided without him being told. Tongzhou was not very far away, and a servant could be sent there and back in one day.

He said: "The daughter of Cao's first wife is, after all, the eldest daughter who lost her mother."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Chenxi said, "What does the death of her biological mother have to do with her daughter? If I had died last year, would others also pick on Jingyi as the eldest daughter who lost her mother?"

He Wenyan fell silent, feeling very uncomfortable. In the past, his wife would understand everything he said, but now he and his wife couldn't agree on anything.

"I am his biological mother, and I will never harm him. This marriage was decided after he met the candidate in advance."

He Wenyan's breathing was uneven, and his hope of returning home was now helpless.

"I'm going to visit my father-in-law tomorrow."

Mo Chenxi nodded, but the situation was too awkward because she didn't say anything. She then said that her second sister-in-law came back after Fan gave birth, but didn't let her in. She knocked on the door for a while, and only left when she saw the neighbors gathered around to watch.

He Wenyan felt a little soft-hearted. His sister wanted to see his nephew. But since he had said he would not let his sister in, he did not say anything.

Mo Chenxi also said that Wang Dongjia's brother-in-law, who helped her mother's family build a restaurant, was a Jinshi and lived in the Mo family. He asked Shanluo to study with Mr. Nie, and Shanluo also brought Shanqiao with him, saying that Mr. Nie was very knowledgeable.

He Wenyan was very satisfied with his wife's care for Shanqiao, but he didn't understand why Nie Chengping, who had passed the imperial examination, became a teacher.

I'll go there tomorrow and discuss the knowledge in detail.

Brothers He Wenpu and He Wenliang were very happy that their eldest brother had returned. After dinner, the three brothers sat together and chatted again. Finally, He Wenpu returned, and the two brothers talked together.

He Wenliang went to the restaurant whenever he had time and became somewhat familiar with Wang Dongjia. He told his elder brother that Wang Dongjia was not only wealthy, but also had an identity and background that was not that simple.

He Wenyan asked, "How did he and the Mo family know each other?"

He had heard from the lady before that he was a friend of his brother-in-law.

He Wenliang said, "It seems that my sister-in-law's family bought a piece of vacant land on Shuangfeng Mountain, saying they were going to grow vegetables. Wang Dong's relatives also have a house there. Oh, right, it's not far from our house. The original owner sold it, and Wang Dong's family bought it."

He Wenyan remembered that his wife had lived in the manor several times, but it was impossible.

He Wenliang continued, "This time, Wang Dongjia's wife came with their daughter and brother-in-law. They say his wife beat up Third Master Qiu, but Third Master Qiu didn't even say a word. A few days later, he was put in a sack and beaten again. Everyone says it was Wang Dongjia who hired someone to do it. Maybe Third Master Qiu was disrespectful to the women."

For some reason, He Wenyan felt relieved when he heard this, knowing that they were not alone.

His wife was so cold to him, and Mr. Wang went to help the Mo family for no apparent reason. He was starting to have all sorts of thoughts.

The next day, he and his wife went to the Mo family together. He asked his son early in the morning. His wife said that she had been living in the Mo family recently and asked Mr. Nie for advice.

Mo Chenxi had asked Mother Wang to go back and tell her parents in advance. When she arrived at her parents' home, she saw her father and mother sitting and waiting.

Mo Yuanji saw that although his son-in-law looked a little tired, he was in good spirits.

"My son-in-law is back. How is he doing in Tongzhou?"

After sitting down, He Wenyan said, "Everything is fine. My colleagues are taking good care of me."

"That's good. If you don't understand, just ask more questions."

When the father-in-law and son-in-law talked about work, Mrs. Mo winked at her daughter, and the mother and daughter went to another room.

Mrs. Mo whispered to her daughter, "I don't know why, I forgot my son-in-law was in Tongzhou, and I was thinking he was in Xiangzhou and hadn't come back yet."

Mo Chenxi pursed her lips and smiled. He Wenyan was so annoying that no one wanted him to be around.

Old Madam Mo said, "I understand why some women don't follow their men into office. It's so hard not to be in front of their eyes, so why would someone follow them and make them uncomfortable? Let the concubine go and serve, and you can have some peace and quiet."

Mo Chenxi understood deeply.

When I read novels before, I always thought that women were forced to stay at home by their parents-in-law, and let concubines follow their husbands. Now think about it, in ancient times, officials were sent to other places, and outsiders were the parents of the officials. Some county magistrates were in their forties or fifties. So why would a wife of this age go to other provinces to keep an eye on her husband?

Loving yourself is the most important thing.

That's why I was allowed to go with you.

Mo Chenxi said: "I think so now. No matter where you ask me to go in the future, I won't go."

Mrs. Mo said, "Yes, why suffer that? Isn't it better to stay at home and take care of your children and grandchildren?"

The mother and daughter spoke in low voices. Seeing Mo Yuanji taking He Wenyan out, Mrs. Mo said, "This is to let the son-in-law meet Wang Dongjia and Mr. Nie. Let's go talk to Xiangxiang's mother."

Old Mrs. Mo liked Mrs. Wang and her daughter more and more, and she held Xiangxiang in her arms every day.

He Wenyan followed his father-in-law to the study. After a while, two men came in. The one in the lead looked calm and composed. He was about the same age as him, the one who had talked to his brother-in-law on East Street last time. The one following behind him was probably in his early thirties and was serious.

When he saw Wang Dongjia up close, he felt that even though he was a businessman, he was a wealthy businessman and exuded a sense of style.

Mo Yuanji introduced them and they greeted each other.

Wang Jingye also met He Wenyan up close. If it wasn't for Mo Xinzhi's complaints about his brother-in-law, he would have thought that He Wenyan looked like a dignified scholar with an open expression and clear eyes, without the slickness and muddiness of those who had been in officialdom.

No wonder Mo Yuanji chose him as his son-in-law.
