Chapter 102: Qualified parents always worry about their children
"Do you have any ideas?" When Wu'an Hou heard his daughter say this, he was quite curious. After all, his daughter had all kinds of weird ideas in her mind.
"I want to build a few more traps, and eventually have a basement where I can hide a few people in case of an emergency. What do you think of this idea, Father?"
"Well, what you said makes me want to tear down the ancestral hall of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and rebuild it. What do you think?"
Marquis Wu'an was impressed by his daughter's intelligence. Why didn't his ancestors consider this issue when they built the ancestral hall? But he didn't dare tear it down and rebuild it now. That would clearly tell everyone there was something wrong with the ancestral hall. But his daughter could do the same.
"Then your daughter will give you the blueprints and money. Father, please help me to see to it that it is completed."
Zhao Lingmeng didn't want the emperor to know about her family's ancestral hall. It was only with Qiuyue waiting by her side that she dared to speak directly to Marquis Wu'an. Zhao Lingmeng felt the two children probably didn't understand, and even if someone tried to ask, they wouldn't get anything out of them. Her father and mother were both thousand-year-old foxes, and didn't her mother even ask her why the emperor was so kind to her?
It’s not that Zhao Lingmeng trusts them so much, but mainly because she really doesn’t have any people around her who can be used, so there is nothing she can do.
"Just give the blueprint to your father, and your mother will pay for the money." Lady Wu'an Hou had been listening for so long and felt that she could finally be useful. She didn't have anything else, but she had money!
"Yes, just give me the drawings. Your mother will pay for the money. Don't worry, your mother has money." Marquis Wu'an immediately agreed with his wife.
But his private treasury really didn't have much money, but his wife's private treasury was still very rich, and she was willing to give it to her daughter, Madam Hua. After saying this, Marquis Wu'an smiled at his old wife ingratiatingly.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an glanced at him. She knew that he had given all his private money to his daughter before, so she did not argue with him and tacitly agreed with his statement.
"I'm definitely happy that Mother wants to give me some money to spend! But my brothers are all married now, and if that happens, my sisters-in-law will have some complaints. It would be pointless to have the whole mansion in turmoil just for a little money."
Zhao Lingmeng was relatively rational. She could forget about the private subsidies, but as for the open subsidies, even though she said she wanted to live off her parents, she didn't want to disturb the peace in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Okay, you pay for it yourself, and I'll subsidize you privately later. Don't think you're taking advantage of your brothers. What I gave you is just a small portion of my dowry. I've subsidized your brothers a lot over the years, and the family property in the Marquis' Mansion will also belong to your brothers in the future. If you're not satisfied with this, who will care about them?"
The wife of the Marquis of Wu'an did think so. She didn't just subsidize her daughter. She also subsidized her sons and grandsons for whatever they needed. If they couldn't stand it, then let them do whatever they wanted. She didn't bother to pay any attention to them.
"Thank you, mother." Zhao Lingmeng happily agreed when she heard her mother say that. After all, since her mother wasn't afraid after she reminded her, she was even less afraid.
Then Zhao Lingmeng saw Marquis Wu'an's eyes scanning Jing'er and Ming'er. Zhao Lingmeng thought he had something important to say to her, "Jing'er, Ming'er, why don't you two go downstairs with Aunt Qiuyue and play for a while? You can help me watch my brother for a while while I talk to my grandparents, okay?"
Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming both nodded obediently and let Qiuyue lead them out.
Zhao Ling dreamed that the two children had gone out, and then he asked, "Father, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"
"Why did you decide to divorce your husband again? What did that bastard Sun Tu do again?" He became very angry when Wu'an Hou mentioned Sun Tu.
"My daughter thought it was something else. It's just that Sun Tu wanted to be exiled, and then his sister and mother took him with them, leaving me and the child in Yuanjing to pave the way for him. So I divorced him."
After hearing what Zhao Lingmeng had said, Marquis Wu'an and his wife remained silent for a long time. They both felt they were at fault for what had happened to their daughter, having chosen the wrong person.
"Father, mother, I don't blame you. You live your own life, and I agreed to that person's decision. Everyone is responsible for their own choices. And I don't know how good my future will be."
Zhao Lingmeng could only comfort them this way, and she didn't dare to tell them that their daughter was actually gone and that she was just an imposter. Although she had no right to speak on behalf of the original owner, she still felt that since the original owner had nodded, everyone was responsible for every nod. Besides, everyone was responsible for their own lives, so who could be responsible for anyone else's life forever?
"Alas, things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. Let's just look forward!" Wu'an Hou also sighed.
Zhao Lingmeng smiled and said, "The future will be better. I will live a good life, so don't worry."
"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being the daughter of Marquis Wu'an. You can take it and let it go." Marquis Wu'an had just finished saying this when his hand was patted by his wife again.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was also impressed by this generous man. "Which child are you going to let take your surname Zhao?"
"Of course all three of them will take my daughter's surname, so what does my daughter have to fear in the future? She has money, leisure time, status, and a son. How can her life be so comfortable?" After Zhao Lingmeng said this, she looked proudly at her mother, Lady Wu'an Hou.
When Marquis Wu'an and his wife heard what Zhao Lingmeng said, they were stunned. They didn't expect that all three children would take their daughter's surname.
"Is Sun Qijing willing? As a father, I see that Jing'er already has his own ideas, and he was raised by Zhou before." Wu'an Hou was also afraid that his daughter would be sad in the future. What if Sun Qijing was not willing in the future?
"He chose Sun Tu first. Sun Tu didn't want him, so he chose me. If he regrets it later, his daughters will go wherever he wants. I'll just raise them and I don't have any intention of being responsible for the three of them for their entire lives."
Zhao Lingmeng said this very frankly. She was not the kind of person who would devote everything to them. She would love them, but she would also love herself.
"As long as you understand the situation, your mother and I will go back first."
"Ah! Why are you leaving just now? Wait until you have lunch before leaving!" Zhao Lingmeng said while pulling her mother's hand, as if not letting her leave.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an gently patted Zhao Lingmeng's hand and said, "Your brother and the others must have heard the news, and they must all be waiting in my yard now!
If your father and I don't go back, they will all flock to your house and make a scene. Your father and I will come to see you in a few days."
