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

Chapter 279 This is natural

Mo Chenxi cooked a few dishes, nothing innovative, just home-cooked meals.

It's rare to have a meal alone with my youngest son.

When she was done, she went over to eat together and found He Wenyan there.

She thought He Wenyan came by himself.

But from what he said to his father, it seemed that his father had personally invited him over in a carriage while she was cooking.

She was a little depressed and wanted to find an excuse to leave, but her father asked her to stay.

He Shankun diligently picked up some food for his elders, then sat down and started eating.

At the dinner table, Mo Yuanji asked He Wenyan about growing flowers. Mo Chenxi remained silent and removed fish bones from his son.

After dinner, He Shankun left with his father.

Mo Chenxi asked his father why he called He Wenyan over.

Mo Yuanji said, "He is the father of the child. What happens between you and your wife has nothing to do with the child."

Mo Chenxi said coldly: "Now that it has come to this, there is no need to sit at the same table to eat. It makes people lose their appetite."

Mo Yuanji sighed, "When you should think about yourself, think about yourself, but when you should think about your children, think about them. My son-in-law didn't commit murder or arson, and he didn't abuse the children. It's not a heinous crime. Parents love their children deeply, and children also have filial piety and long for their parents' care and love.

"Shankun was talking to me, looking towards the door several times. You were here, but his father was in Hejiazhuang not far away, and he was worried. You are my daughter, and I am thinking about you. Shankun is your son, so you should also think about him.

"My child is pitiful. During the meal, because you looked unhappy, he was very cautious and kept talking to you. Doesn't the child have any complaints about you as parents? What did the child say? I felt sorry for the child."

Mo Chenxi was stunned. It was not that the Mo family was incapable of dealing with the He family. Her father had given in before because of her, and now he had to be kind to his son-in-law because of his grandson.

She said ashamedly, "I'm sorry, I always make Dad feel wronged because of me."

"Don't say that. You are my own daughter. As a father, everything I do is my duty. There is no injustice. Dad only hopes that you are healthy and your grandchildren are safe. Your mother and I can put our minds at ease and we will be satisfied."

Mo Chenxi burst into tears.

Mo Yuanji looked away and said, "Dad and Mom just want you to be well. It doesn't matter if you have to work hard."

Mo Chenxi nodded slowly.

Don’t the Mo family’s parents feel resentful about what the original body did after marrying into the He family?

It's because he thinks more about his daughter. He has put her first in everything in the past two years. Even inviting He Wenyan to come for a meal was for the child born to his daughter.

What complaints does she have?

Mo Yuanji said, "We only eat together a few times a year. We do this for the sake of the children. Once they are married and have someone to love them, we can talk about other things."

Mo Chenxi's heart moved, "Dad means..."

"When the time comes, it depends on you. You don't necessarily have to divorce. You can also escape by death, but you can't stay in the capital."

Mo Chenxi thought about this problem. Unless she became a widow, she would have to be stuck with He Wenyan.

Another option is to escape, but this sacrifice is too great. She has to live under another identity, just like her father said, and leave the capital.

However, her parents and children were still alive, and she had left the capital only to avoid He Wenyan. Even if she had money, what good would it do?

Mo Chenxi said: "There is no need. I feel much more relaxed now that I can move out of the He family. As long as I don't have to face it every day, everything else is fine."

Mo Yuanji smiled, "It's good that you can figure it out. Let the past be the past. Didn't you say that you wish you could grow three heads and six arms? There are still many things you haven't done. Don't take those unworthy things and unworthy people to heart. Just treat him as a neighbor, don't you also have to treat him politely?"

Mo Chenxi smiled, "Dad is right. By the way, the eldest lady came today and said she brought back a potted plant from the south. Tomorrow I will go to the princess's mansion to attend a banquet, and she gave me a pot and asked Dad to plant it."

Mo Yuanji smiled and said, "It should be given to my son-in-law. I grow vegetables, not flowers."

Mo Chenxi explained: "That's not a flower. I guess it's a food ingredient. If I've seen it, although it's not as good as sweet potatoes, it will also be a dish on the table of ordinary people."

Mo Yuanji stopped laughing. His daughter said she had seen it, the one she almost died of. She saw it in the underworld.

He felt sorry for his daughter and wanted to help her as much as possible while she was still able to move.

Mo Chenxi chatted with his father for a while, and then returned to the Mo family farm, thinking about what his father said.

She is not her original self, and has no feelings for He Wenyan, nor does she have the kind of motherly love for her children that is as caring and concerned as if they were her own flesh and blood.

For her, the children are a fact that she must accept since she has taken possession of her original body, and are the responsibility she must bear while living here.

The father thought from the perspective of her being the biological mother of the children, while she only thought from her own perspective.

It's impossible to say who is right or wrong between the two.

My father said that it made sense to treat He Wenyan as a neighbor and we should be polite to him from now on.

Mo Chenxi sent someone in the afternoon to see if He Shankun had returned to Beijing. If not, she would go and pick him up.

I'm going to the princess's mansion tomorrow, so I have to go back early to pack.

When she went to pick someone up, He Wenyan and his son were waiting at the door.

Mo Chenxi didn't get off the carriage, but looked out through the curtain.

He Shankun said to his father, "Father, please go in. I will come to see you next time I have a holiday."

He got on the carriage, and Mo Chenxi didn't know what to say to him, as if this was the first time the mother and son were alone together.

"You must eat well in the academy and don't be picky about food. You are still growing, so eating more will keep you strong and healthy."

He Shankun nodded and said, "I know. My cousin said the same thing. He also said that I was too thin and had to be carried out during the imperial examination. I don't want that."

Mo Chenxi smiled. "Your cousin is right. He's very independent. You should learn from him. By the way, how's your roommate Luo Zizhen? He even accompanied the Grand Princess to the farm to buy flowers today."

He Shankun smiled. "He's quite nice. He doesn't act like a big shot just because he's the eldest grandson's son. He's a year older than me, but he always treats me like a child. It's a shame. He's very smart. If he studies hard, he could pass the imperial examination."

"It doesn't matter whether their status is tested or not."

"Luo Zizhen said the same thing. He said he didn't want to compete with the children of ordinary people, and that just reading a few books and understanding the principles would be enough. I told him that what he learned was his own, and no one could take it away. At this age, he should study, and it wouldn't hurt to read a few more books."

Mo Chenxi smiled, "You're right. Mother is very happy to hear you say that. Studying is important, but health is more important. That's why Mr. Nie asked you to go to bed early and get up early. You must not stay up late at night reading with a light on. Look at your eldest brother's eyes. Even when he reads at night, he can't see clearly even if people are far away."

He Shankun rubbed his temples with his hands. "Doctor Zhang taught me to massage them twice a day. I taught my cousin, and he also does it every day. Mr. Nie massages his temples with his students before he gives a lecture."

Mo Chenxi praised his son a few times, but he really couldn't find a topic to talk about.

It was Shankun who said, "Mr. Nie said the academy wants to hire a martial arts teacher to teach us boxing, saying it will strengthen our bodies. Luo Zizhen was very happy. He said he learned for two years when he was a child, but his boxing was like a crab fighting."

He laughed as he spoke, and Mo Chenxi listened with a smile.

"I told my grandfather today to ask my great aunt's uncle to recommend himself. After all, he's just teaching a few boxing techniques, not taking the martial arts exam."

Mo Chenxi sighed, the two sons are just different, it’s innate, there’s nothing you can do about it.
