Chapter 101: Marquis Wu'an and his wife are here
It was not until someone came in to report that Marquis Wu'an and his wife had arrived at the second gate that Zhao Lingmeng slapped her head and remembered what she had forgotten. She had forgotten to tell her father and mother that she was divorcing her husband.
Zhao Lingmeng immediately straightened her messy clothes to make herself look more energetic, then patted Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming's heads respectively: "Alright, stop eating. Your grandma and grandpa are already here. Let's go to the gate of Yixinyuan to greet them."
Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming both took Zhao Lingmeng's hand and walked out together. Before they reached the gate of Yixin Courtyard, they saw Marquis Wu'an and his wife coming in. Marquis Wu'an walked in hurriedly in front, and his wife followed slowly behind.
It’s not that Lady Wu’an Hou was not worried about her daughter, but she felt that it couldn’t be better that her daughter could start her own business. She wouldn’t have to act according to other people’s wishes in the future, so there was no need to worry.
"My daughter meets father and mother." Zhao Lingmeng felt warm in her heart when she saw her father and mother coming in a hurry.
Marquis Wu'an and his wife were still a few meters away when they saw their daughter and her two sons smiling and bowing not far away, without any sign of sadness.
Marquis Wu'an and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. As long as their daughter wasn't sad, nothing else mattered.
Marquis Wu'an took a few steps forward and pulled Zhao Lingmeng up. "They're your parents, so why are you being so formal? Let's go inside and talk slowly."
The wife of Marquis Wu'an, who approached a little later, heard Marquis Wu'an say, "It's all because of you. How dare she make such a big decision on her own?"
When the wife of Marquis Wu'an said this, she felt something was wrong. She looked at Zhao Lingmeng and Marquis Wu'an suspiciously. How could her daughter handle this matter on her own? And the way the Marquis hurriedly pulled her to see her daughter just now did not seem like he knew about it.
That was definitely not what the Marquis asked for. Moreover, if the Marquis really had such great favor, his only daughter would not have married down at that time. So why would the Emperor give such a great favor to his daughter?
The wife of the Marquis of Wu'an only glanced at the two men suspiciously. She did not ask any questions. If he was not deaf or dumb, he would not be a father-in-law. Anyway, the Marquis would know his limits.
Sun Qiming, who was standing next to him, was quite brave. He stood up with his mother, and immediately ran over to hug Wu Anhou's thighs. He looked up at Wu Anhou and said in a baby voice, "Grandpa, give me a hug."
Wu Anhou looked at his leg pendant, his expression unchanged, but he was thinking that Meng'er's son was not shy about strangers. He picked up Sun Qiming and held him in his arms, shaking him up and down. "You're quite a kid."
Sun Qiming hugged Wu'an Hou's neck and smiled shyly. This was his mother's father. He felt that this father was much better than his father, so he was happy to be close to him. Boys still admired big men.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an rolled her eyes at him, but what she was thinking was that the Marquis was so old that he was already in a dog's stomach, and he didn't even bother to pick up Sun Qijing.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an walked to Zhao Lingmeng's side and took Sun Qijing's other hand, "Come, grandma, hold our Jing'er."
When Sun Qijing heard his grandmother speaking to him so gently and taking the initiative to hold his hand, he no longer envied his younger brother. He obediently let his grandmother and mother hold his hand and walk inside, feeling happy in his heart.
Wu Anhou held the second son, Sun Qiming, in his arms, while Zhao Lingmeng and his wife held Sun Qijing's hands and walked towards the main hall. As soon as they sat down, someone served them tea.
"Bring the imperial edict to me." As soon as Wu'an Hou came in, he sat Sun Qiming down beside him and placed a plate of snacks in his hands. He then went straight to the main purpose of his visit today.
When the wife of Marquis Wu'an heard what the Marquis said, she also looked at her with burning eyes.
Zhao Lingmeng rubbed her nose in embarrassment. She still felt a little guilty for not informing her father in advance. When her father brought it up, she immediately ordered Qiuyue, who was waiting nearby, to go get the imperial edict.
After reading the imperial edict, Marquis Wu'an leaned back in his chair and said, "Okay, okay, okay. I don't have to worry about you anymore."
Before Marquis Wu'an could finish his joy, his hand was patted by his wife. Marquis Wu'an immediately handed the imperial edict to his wife, smiling broadly, "Come, Madam, take a look. The emperor's grace to our Meng'er is quite good."
Seeing this, the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an said nothing more. She immediately took the imperial edict from the Marquis of Wu'an, opened it, and read it carefully several times before saying with a smile, "Very good indeed. If you have any problems in the future, come to the Marquis's Mansion to find your two brothers. If they don't help you, I will help you beat them up."
"Why bother looking for them? I'm still strong! I can take care of my own daughter. Those two guys are no match for me."
When Marquis Wu'an heard his wife say this, he was displeased. He was still strong and resilient! Why would he look for a son? Besides, he thought to himself that his sons weren't as promising as his daughter alone! What could they possibly accomplish?
"Yes, yes, if you have any problems, go find your father. He can still work for another twenty years, until he closes his eyes." The wife of Marquis Wu'an was also impressed by this old man in her family. He would fight for everything, acting as if he was the only real father.
"You and I won't argue with a woman." Marquis Wu'an held it in for a long time before uttering such a fierce remark.
Zhao Lingmeng was also very happy to see her father and mother like this. In this era, there can be such friendship. One can only sigh that young couples will always be together in old age! Although she was happy to see this, she was not envious.
Seeing this, Marquis Wu'an could only cough in a dignified manner, took the imperial edict from his wife's hand, and handed it to Zhao Lingmeng, "Don't worry about the ancestral hall or anything like that. I think the emperor means that although your surname is Zhao, you are not considered a branch of the Marquisate, but a separate lineage. In the future, Marquis Wu'an will have no control over you.
When the time comes, I'll have someone build a new ancestral hall for you in this mansion and prepare the family tree and other things. From now on, you can just hold the sacrifices in the mansion every year."
Zhao Lingmeng was definitely happy when she heard that her father was going to take over these things. "I'll draw a blueprint and then find someone to help me build it. I want it to be more complicated, so please help me find some trustworthy people."
As Zhao Lingmeng was talking, she had many ideas in her mind. In her previous life, she had watched TV dramas and seen that the ancestral halls of wealthy families had mechanisms that could hide people and were easy to guard at critical moments. She was also planning to try it out. Since it had to be built anyway, she wanted to do it all at once.
