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

Chapter 310: Never experienced such a refreshing feeling

Mo Chenxi exchanged a few polite words with Old Madam He, then took out the banknotes and placed them on the bedside.

"Aunt, take this. Buying a house is a big deal. Don't hesitate when you find the right one. Once you buy it, it will be the ancestral home of Shanqiao's descendants."

Old Madam He quickly evaded the question, "I'm not upset about this. I'll pay the down payment for the house first, and then pay the full amount after Shanqiao's parents arrive. I have enough money here. I brought some with me when I came to Beijing."

"Buying a house isn't just about the money. You'll need to renovate it and buy some furniture once you move in, so there's a lot of money to be spent. My parents spent more on this house than they did on the house after I moved in two months ago. Don't be so polite, aunt. If I couldn't afford it before, it's because I received a reward from the court for growing sweet potatoes."

She couldn't say that she got a share of the profits from the Mo family's business, she could only say that it was a reward from the court, otherwise where would she get so much money.

According to common sense, the imperial reward also belongs to the He family. Although Old Lady He is a member of the He family, she has always stood on her side and will not tell anyone.

Although Mrs. He wanted it very much, she refused several times. Only when she saw her niece-in-law stuffing the banknote into her hand did she accept it.

"Look how embarrassed I am. Consider it a loan from me. I told Shanqiao that you must remember your aunt's kindness. If it weren't for your aunt, how could you have such a smooth life in Beijing? Even when I, your grandmother, came here, I relied on your aunt."

After saying some polite words, Mo Chenxi said that Xiao Mo was pregnant and was going to live back at the He family. Old Mrs. He said, "I'll move back to live there so that your mother-in-law won't cause any more trouble. Shanqiao's parents won't come until after August 15th. Let Shanqiao's mother live there. She's familiar with your mother-in-law, so let her coax her. We can talk about other things after Xiao Mo gives birth."

Mo Chenxi smiled, knowing that she had to coax Old Madam Jiang in order to live a peaceful life.

"Then I would like to thank you very much, Auntie. Logically, as the daughter-in-law, I should go back to take care of her, but my health is..."

"I don't need you. Just take good care of yourself and leave everything to me."

This is the benefit of lending money to others, they will be eager to help you.

Before August 15th, He Wenyan took his concubines and daughters back to the He family. He Shankun took a day off, and the concubine's son who lived in the private school, He Shanluo and his family of three also went back.

Mo Chenxi also wants to go back for the reunion dinner, and the second and third wives are also going back.

Old Mrs. He went back early. I don’t know how she coaxed Old Mrs. Jiang. Old Mrs. Jiang was smiling and wanted to hug He Huizhen.

Although He Huizhen was not shy, for some reason she refused to let him hold her when she saw her and opened her arms for Old Lady He to hold her.

Old Mrs. Jiang said casually, "You stupid little girl! You don't even recognize your great-grandmother."

Cao Yue'e's face darkened slightly when she heard this. He Shanluo glanced at his wife nervously. He was also unhappy. No one would be happy if his daughter was called a "dead girl" by her grandmother.

Old Mrs. He took He Huizhen and said, "Huizhen, this is your great-grandmother. Great-grandmother likes Huizhen very much. She will give Huizhen a gift later."

She tried to give her sister-in-law a way out, but unfortunately she didn't take the opportunity and just excitedly asked when Shanqiao's parents would come over.

"I remember when I was in Xiangzhou, I went to see an opera with your daughter-in-law. When they come back, I'll ask the third brother to invite an opera troupe so we can enjoy the opera."

Mrs. He smiled and said, "That's great! I've been in the capital for so long and haven't heard any opera yet. I'll take advantage of my cousin's wife."

Everyone just ate and listened to Old Lady Jiang and Old Lady He talking about things in Xiangzhou.

He Shanqiao frowned because Old Mrs. Jiang told an embarrassing story about his mother and laughed out loud.

Bao lowered her head to eat, while Fan looked at this and that, and only took a few bites of the meal, as she was busy looking at people.

Her husband asked her to get closer to her elder sister-in-law, but her elder sister-in-law spent most of her time at the farm, and she couldn't always go there.

When my eldest sister-in-law lives in Beijing permanently, I will take my youngest son with me.

Shan Kun was very lucky to become the emperor's companion. Now she returned to her parents' home, and her sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law all fawned over her.

Bao was now very content and full of hope. After she moved out, her stepmother and step-sisters came to visit her in person. She grew more and more confident, knowing it was all because of her eldest sister-in-law. She sent people to keep an eye on her. Whenever her sister-in-law returned to Beijing, she would go to see her, but she didn't stay long, always making sure to show up in front of her sister-in-law more often.

Xiao Mo is pregnant, so she will have to go back to the He family more often to take care of Xiao Mo and help her sister-in-law.

As for her mother-in-law, she doesn't care about it. She is not her biological mother-in-law. Fortunately, her biological mother-in-law had passed away when she got married, otherwise she would have had two mothers-in-law, which would have been very troublesome.

No one at the dinner table mentioned the fact that He Shankun was the emperor's study companion, and Old Mrs. Jiang didn't know about it.

But after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she found out that it was her son who said it.

She was so angry.

"It's such a big deal, but you all hid it from me. No one said anything. Shankun is not a good person either. He didn't even come to tell Grandmother. Did you go to your father's grave to tell him? If he were still alive, I wonder how happy he would be."

He Wenyan said: "Why did you hide it from mother? It's because if she knew, you would show off."

"I'm locked up at home now, where can I show off? Your uncle couldn't even get in when he came to see me before the holidays."

He Wenyan was surprised and asked, "Since she couldn't get in, how did mother know my uncle was here?"

"Could your uncle not come to see me, your elder sister, on the Mid-Autumn Festival? Since he didn't come, I stopped him from coming in."

Old Mrs. Jiang couldn't say that her brother had spent money to bribe a maid around her and finally told her after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

He Wenyan said, "I didn't let my uncle come. He even came to the manor and told me about my dear uncle, saying that my He family has become rich and we don't recognize him as my dear uncle. I asked my uncle directly, I was sick and my mother was sick, why didn't you, my dear uncle, send me some money? My uncle can't enter the He family. I have been in the manor for so long, and has he visited my third brother's family? He came to see me when he heard that my son became the emperor's companion. Why should I recognize this uncle who only takes advantage of me and drags me down?"

Old Mrs. Jiang was angry with her son. In the past, her son listened to her in everything, but he stopped listening to her in the past two years. However, he never spoke so harshly.

Why do you start blaming your mother just because you get sick?

"You are unfilial to your uncle!"

"My uncle has children and grandchildren, so it's not my turn as a nephew to be filial. I originally wanted to tell my mother about Shankun's bright future and make her happy. She always thinks of my uncle when something good happens, so why should she get married? Isn't it enough to follow my uncle and help the Jiang family?"

He Wenyan had never felt so refreshed. In the past, he had things to say but kept them in his heart, which made him feel depressed.

Even now, I can’t say whatever I want, especially to my wife.

But to his own mother, he finally said whatever he thought.
