Chapter 11 The Game Begins 4
"No, my grandmother said that I should only listen to her, and I don't need to listen to anyone else." Sun Tu was holding the child at this moment, and he didn't notice that the eyes of the little person in his arms were rolling around, trying to find the words that were most beneficial to him.
At this moment, Sun Tu didn't want to worry about who to listen to, so he just carried Sun Qijing and sat on the main seat.
"Someone, come and pack up the young master's things."
Sun Qijing was a little surprised when he heard this. Although he was small, he still understood what it meant to pack up. So he raised his head and looked at Sun Tu in confusion.
Sun Tu looked at the little man in his arms, his big eyes filled with confusion. Sun Tu still loved his eldest son very much, and patiently explained his doubts: "Can our Jing'er move back to live with mother?"
Sun Qijing was stunned for a moment, thinking of the woman who always showed a look of disapproval when she saw him. He said with a little resistance in his heart, "I just want to live with my grandmother, okay?"
But to Sun Qijing's disappointment, his father actually shook his head this time. Sun Qijing's little mind was filled with confusion. Whenever he brought up his grandmother before, his father and mother would never object. He couldn't understand why his father disagreed this time.
This time, Sun Tu didn't explain why, nor did he dare to say anything bad about Zhao Lingmeng. After all, Sun Qijing was going to live with Zhao Lingmeng from now on. If this kid let it slip one day, there would definitely be another disturbance at home. Better not to dig himself into this kind of trap.
To ease the awkwardness, Sun Tu could only stare at the people packing up and say, "Hurry up! If you delay us from having dinner at Yixinyuan, I'll deduct all your monthly wages."
The servants were even more efficient, but there wasn't much to pack. Many of the things were likely already at Yixinyuan. All they needed to do was take the eldest young master's toys and other belongings. Madam would definitely send someone to collect the ornaments when the time came. From now on, these would all be the eldest young master's personal belongings, and they would definitely be registered.
Just like that, without waiting for long, Sun Tu took Sun Qijing, his servants, luggage, etc. and headed straight to Yixinyuan.
When Sun Tu and Sun Qijing arrived, Zhao Lingmeng had slept with the two children for the entire afternoon. Meanwhile, the youngest, Sun Qiyang, had already been taken away by his wet nurse to be fed.
Zhao Lingmeng was still leaning against the head of the bed. Qiuyue had just put the small wooden table on the bed when someone outside announced that the master had arrived.
Originally, Zhao Lingmeng was thinking that it was almost time for dinner and she didn't want to see Sun Tu, that Phoenix man. But when Nanny Wu said that the master had brought the eldest young master with him, Zhao Lingmeng could only order, "Call Dongmian and Dongshui to come inside and serve."
When Nanny Wu and Qiuyue heard what their master said, they knew that the master wanted to see the master. Nanny Wu immediately went out to greet the master, but in her heart she was thinking that the old slave had to go and pick up the young master.
Seeing this, Qiuyue immediately went out and called Dongmian and Dongshui back inside. To be honest, watching Dongmian and Dongshui busying around inside, Qiuyue herself felt safer, not to mention her wife. After all, in Qiuyue's opinion, the master's family was a bit scary.
Zhao Lingmeng felt just like Qiuyue at this moment, feeling completely secure. Otherwise, how could they say, "Like master, like servant"?
After a while, Sun Tu led his people in.
"Hello, mother. How is your health?"
Sun Qijing reluctantly repeated what his father had taught him on the way, feeling unhappy. His mother always told him he was inappropriate, but he loved his so-called younger brother. In his little heart, he felt a sense of pride: "If you don't like me, I won't like you either."
"Don't worry! Thanks to your father, you won't die for the time being."
Zhao Lingmeng had none of the later-day awareness that adults' affairs shouldn't be shared with children. This was in a fictional dynasty, where concubines and illegitimate children were legal. Too much trust could lead to betrayal. She answered truthfully.
This statement made Sun Tu and Sun Qijing stunned for a moment. Sun Qijing didn't understand what his mother meant at all, so he could only stand there in a daze, not knowing what to say in response.
Sun Tu was shocked. He had never expected Zhao Lingmeng to not give him any face at all. He was both angry and shocked at the same time.
But Sun Tu still told himself not to get angry and to get over this hurdle first. So Sun Tu considered his tone and said, "Our Jing'er will move back to Yixinyuan starting today."
Zhao Lingmeng ignored Sun Tu and looked at Sun Qijing and asked, "Would you like to come back and live here?"
Sun Qijing was about to answer: "Not willing."
Zhao Lingmeng spoke again, "Mom knows you're a little clever, but you have to think carefully. Your dad can't protect you now. If you really don't want to come back, I won't do anything extreme since we're mother and son. But if you don't want to acknowledge me, then I have no choice but to train Sun Qiming. Do you know what this means?"
Zhao Lingmeng thought, as for a naughty child, he absolutely couldn't be made to feel like he was begging her to come back, or else he'd be hard to control in the future. As for what if he really chose not to come back, Zhao Lingmeng simply wanted to say that there were countless ways to deal with naughty children, and each one was full of tricks.
Sun Qijing glanced at his father, then at his mother, and for a moment he was actually a little hesitant. But Sun Qijing was actually quite smart.
Although his grandmother and aunt kept saying bad things about his mother, he also sometimes heard people say that his mother was a wealthy lady from a high-class family. Whether she was a noble lady or not, Sun Qijing himself couldn't figure it out.
But Sun Qijing knew that his uncle and grandfather must be extremely powerful. Because in Sun Qijing's heart, his father was as tall as a mountain. Whenever he met his grandfather and his family, he would be extremely cautious. Even when his grandmother cursed, he didn't dare to curse his grandfather.
Sun Qijing looked at his mother again, only to see Zhao Lingmeng lowering her head and gently caressing her brother's face. At this moment, Sun Qijing was still afraid that his mother would really abandon him.
"I came back on my own accord." Sun Qijing looked at the scene of loving mother and filial son in front of him, and finally made up his mind and spoke.
Zhao Lingmeng was delighted when she heard this; at least she had made the right move. But she still asked cautiously, "Don't you regret it? After all, moving back here means you're under my control. You know I've been irritated by many of your habits for a long time."
Sun Qijing gritted his teeth. His mother was truly clever. He glanced at his father, who was just a backdrop, and nodded in resignation.
