Chapter 12 The Game Begins 5
"Then welcome our Jingjing home!" Zhao Lingmeng was very happy in her heart. She finally got this guy back. And Zhao Lingmeng also expressed it on her face.
"Then mother, why do you call me Jingjing?" Sun Qijing asked puzzledly.
"This is the nickname your mother gave you. Do you like it?" Zhao Lingmeng said casually.
"But this sounds like a girl's name! Can it be changed?" Sun Qijing was a little unhappy. He was a boy, how could he have such a girl's name!
"Mom likes this name, so it can't be changed. But you can stop others from calling it by that name, and let mom be the only one to call it by that name. That should be fine, right?" Zhao Lingmeng discussed with Sun Qijing.
Sun Qijing looked at his mother, then at his father standing next to him. For the first time, his little heart felt powerless. Wasn't his father usually very capable? But he was silent at the critical moment. He couldn't be relied upon.
Sun Qijing could only reluctantly reply, "Okay!"
At this time, Sun Qijing didn't know that his words "Okay!" would become his mother's weapon in the future. Whenever she was unhappy, she would call him Jingjing, and he would have no choice.
If I were to describe it in one sentence, it was a scene of social death. But Sun Qijing didn't know it yet, and was feeling depressed about being controlled by this woman he called his mother.
"Then Jingjing, go downstairs with Nanny Wu to have dinner first, and then go see the new house that mother has prepared for you.
If you need anything, just go find Aunt Wu, or come to me. I'll find two more people to serve you, okay? " Zhao Lingmeng wanted to arrange everything in one breath.
"Alright!" Sun Qijing saw his mother's tendency and saw no room for him to speak. He didn't rely much on the people who served him. He could change people, so he agreed without any struggle.
"Our Jingjing is such a good kid," Zhao Lingmeng praised Sun Qijing generously. Sun Tu remained silent and had no say.
Then, Nanny Wu received a glance from her young lady and immediately stepped forward. She gently took the young master's hand and coaxed him softly, "Young master, would you like to go to dinner with Nanny?"
Sun Qijing first glanced at his mother, who acted as if she was in charge. He then glanced at his father unwillingly, and Sun Tu acted even more as if he was under the control of his mother. Sun Qijing was completely convinced and followed Nanny Wu out.
After Sun Qijing left, Zhao Lingmeng looked at Sun Tu, who was still standing there, and could only ask, "Is there anything else, my husband?"
"Madam, I know I was wrong before. But you have to believe that I love you. And what man in the world doesn't take concubines? Can you give me another chance?"
And you see, you asked Jing'er to come back. I immediately asked him to move back."
Sun Tu looked at the three maids standing in the room and saw that none of them showed any intention of leaving. Sun Tu made a note of them in his little black book. He didn't even show any sign.
But now his predicament was imminent. He could only grit his teeth and accept it. He put on an affectionate look, kneeling in front of Zhao Lingmeng's bed and holding her hand, and performed.
This made Zhao Lingmeng sick. Isn't this what people in later generations would say, "I just made a mistake that all men in the world would make, why can't you forgive me?"
But Zhao Lingmeng still said to herself, I am not angry, my body is my own, and there is no one to replace me if I get angry.
"But it's only natural for any man in the world to live in his wife's house, wear his wife's clothes, and use his wife's things. You should be called a live-in son-in-law!"
Zhao Lingmeng also knows how to poke people's hearts. In this era, for a man, being called a live-in son-in-law can be said to be not very hurtful, but it is extremely insulting.
"Do you have to say such harsh words?" Sun Tu was undoubtedly furious at this moment. If it weren't for his only rationality supporting him, he would have wanted to walk away immediately and never set foot in this courtyard again.
"Is it my words that are harsh, or is it your eating habits that are so ugly? Do you still remember how you and your family lived when I first got married? And how you lived after I came? And how I've been living these past three years? It's true that scholars only become butchers.
Your mother actually had the audacity to send Wang Xiaoyi, who hurt me, to your bed, and you actually half-heartedly accepted it. "What would happen if I sued you all for conspiring to harm me?" Zhao Lingmeng taunted.
Sun Tu couldn't pretend anymore after hearing this and let go of Zhao Lingmeng's hand. He said calmly, "You know, we have no reason to harm you. No one will agree with your guess."
"Hahaha, no reason? For example, now that Lord Sun feels he has established a firm foothold in the Imperial Academy, and wants to have a childhood sweetheart romance, isn't it just that he dislikes me, the one occupying the position?
But I'm a noblewoman in the Marquis's mansion. Isn't my only hope that I'm gone? It won't affect your remarriage, Master Sun, and you can seize my dowry on the pretext that our child is still young, and the relationship with the Marquis's mansion can continue. "What a great plan, don't you think?" Zhao Lingmeng said, looking at Sun Tu without showing any weakness.
In fact, Zhao Lingmeng was also trying to test whether Sun Tu had such thoughts. After all, who knows human nature! Maybe the three of them were thinking the same thing.
Sun Tu was panicking. If he didn't know that he didn't have such an idea and his mother's brain wasn't that smart, Sun Tu would have really thought that he had done it.
"Madam, stop joking. How could I dare to think of such a thing?" Sun Tu explained hurriedly, fearing that if he was a moment late, Zhao Lingmeng would really think so. The gap between the two was still very large.
"From this incident, I can see it! People's hearts are really hidden. Anyway, it's useless for you to think about it. I asked someone to take my dowry list to the government office for backup.
I also left a handwritten letter for my father. I want to be prepared for any eventuality. The Marquis's Mansion will sever the relationship with you, and my dowry and children will be sent back to my parents' home."
Although Zhao Lingmeng looked calm, the words she said made Sun Tu feel as if he was falling into an icy cave.
"How will my father-in-law look at me if you do this?" Sun Tu shouted loudly.
"You've treated his daughter like this, how do you expect him to see you? Don't overthink it. Without me, Zhao Lingmeng, who would you be, Sun Tu?" Zhao Lingmeng said, still thinking, if only she could piss this guy off to death. It would be so nice to live the life of a widow from now on.
"You really don't want to leave yourself any way out?" Sun Tu said sternly.
"I kept it. Isn't that what I just told you about my escape route?" After saying this, Zhao Lingmeng felt that after confronting the scumbag today, her mood improved a little. She thought that if every day was like this, there was still hope in life.
