Chapter 13 The Game Begins 6
Sun Tu thought this woman was completely crazy. He had never seen such a reckless woman before. He regretted marrying a noble lady from a high-class family. If he had married someone of equal status, they would have been so careful to serve him even if he coughed. It was nothing like this now.
But this was just a fleeting thought. Sun Tu looked at the house. If he married someone of equal status, he and his family would have no idea where to live!
Sun Tu sighed inwardly, swallowing his resentment. He spoke again, "We can't solve the problem like this. What do you want? Let's talk."
"I'm tired today and don't want to talk. Let's wait a few days! Am I still in confinement after giving birth? I can't stand being tired." Zhao Lingmeng rubbed his forehead, looking like you should leave quickly.
Sun Tu was choked again. He could talk about it later, but his mother and sister would be left with nothing.
"What have mother and sister been eating and using these days?" Sun Tu said and looked at Zhao Lingmeng.
"Shouldn't I ask you? She's not my mother, nor my sister. Everything I eat and use now is given by my mother's family. What does it have to do with your family?" Zhao Lingmeng rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Sun Tu stood there, speechless for a moment. His noble character prevented him from saying, "You've married into this family, and the dowry belongs to your husband's family." After all, scholars still have to maintain some dignity.
Although they were also spending the wife's dowry, they hadn't exposed the matter personally. Sun Tu always felt that there was still a fig leaf to cover up, so he could spend it more naturally.
Zhao Ling dreamed of this person standing there, not saying a word or moving away. He said angrily, "What else do you want? Nothing, I need to rest."
"Then how will the expenses of this mansion be covered in the future?" Sun Tu asked again.
"We each open our own business." Zhao Lingmeng replied directly.
"We're married, and you say we should go our separate ways?" Sun Tu couldn't believe it, staring at Zhao Lingmeng.
"Otherwise! People say that marrying a man provides food and clothing. I married a husband who brings his family to eat and use my money, and even wants to kill me. He also wants me to support him with a concubine. How shameless is that? Sun Tanhua, do you think this man is shameless?"
Zhao Lingmeng was absolutely annoyed by this guy. He was so shameless. Even with his face torn like this, he still wanted to spend his own money. Zhao Lingmeng thought, "Dream on!"
"Do you look down on me?" Sun Tu looked at Zhao Lingmeng viciously.
"Have you done anything to impress me? Have you been made a prime minister or a marquis outside? Or have you been considerate and caring to me at home? Your whole family is lying on me and sucking my blood, and you blame me for not letting you suck my blood obediently?"
Zhao Lingmeng was not used to Sun Tu's strange habits. If you want to use money, you should at least be sincere!
"Haven't you heard a saying? Don't bully the young and poor." Sun Tu was so angry that he could hardly speak. Zhao Lingmeng's words really hit his self-esteem.
"Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year. You're not rich yet, and you're treating me like this. If you become rich, will there be any hope for me, your original wife, to survive? So it's even more impossible for me to support your career."
Zhao Lingmeng laughed heartily after he finished speaking. He had finally reached halfway, and suddenly someone told him there was no way forward. It must have been worse than killing him! After all, there was no turning back.
Zhao Lingmeng was now waiting for Sun Tu to give in after hitting a wall. Zhao Lingmeng was also waiting to see if this family could still be used after some training.
After all, if she went home after a divorce, she would have three children to take care of. There was no point in remarrying, and she might even have to have children to secure her position. She might as well not marry again! In this dynasty, if there was a divorced sister-in-law in the family, no other daughter in the family needed to marry. Over time, her parents' family would have no place for her and her four children.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to go this way unless it was absolutely necessary.
Sun Tu had never expected his wife to think this way. He hadn't taken a concubine in the past three years, and he always returned home on time after his shift. Except for this time when he really failed miserably.
Sun Tu didn't think he had reached the level Zhao Lingmeng described. As for the rules set in the mansion, every daughter-in-law would be subject to them for a few years.
"Is that what you think?" Sun Tu still had an expression of being betrayed.
Zhao Lingmeng felt completely disgusted and didn't want to waste her breath on this kind of person. "Go away! Don't hang around in front of me. It's disgusting to look at."
Sun Tu felt that if he continued to endure, he would be a coward. So he angrily left.
Zhao Lingmeng watched Sun Tu walk away with a flick of his sleeves. Far from feeling apprehensive, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally," she sighed, "he's gone. My body is so weak, I'll probably need two months of confinement. I don't have the energy to deal with these people in the mansion."
After sighing, Zhao Lingmeng ordered Dong Shui and the others to always have one person guarding the house. Then he lay down and fell asleep. He had no choice but to do so. He was too weak and worried that Sun Tu and the others would do something desperate.
Sun Tu left Yixin Courtyard and headed straight ahead. There was no other way; he didn't want to go to his mother's house and listen to her scolding him. But when Sun Tu arrived at the front yard, he looked at his empty room. All the valuable ornaments that had been there were gone, and he felt that his life was miserable.
Sun Tu looked at all this, and the malice in his heart was like a giant beast, and he really had the idea of killing Zhao Lingmeng. After Sun Tu realized his own thoughts, he laughed at himself.
As expected, the one who knows you best is the one beside you! Unfortunately, his retreat has been blocked. Now, if anything happens to Zhao Lingmeng, his powerful father-in-law will definitely not let his family go.
Sun Tu didn't know that there was a big surprise waiting for him tomorrow! He could only drink some water and go to sleep helplessly. Before going to sleep, he was still thinking, "Tomorrow is worth it." He still had to admit his mistake and appease the person first before discussing other things. Otherwise, the impact would be huge.
That night, the three members of Sun Tu's family didn't sleep well, feeling a bit lost and apprehensive. Zhao Lingmeng and her son slept well, though. Sun Qijing, surprisingly, didn't recognize his bed and didn't even make a scene.
The next day, Zhao Lingmeng was surprised when Nanny Wu reported the incident. It seemed this little brat would be easy to raise.
The next day, when Sun Tu arrived at the Hanlin Academy, he noticed his colleagues were looking at him strangely. They were even whispering to each other. Sun Tu was completely bewildered. He had no choice but to find Mr. Qian again to ask him about it.
"If you have something to say, please tell me quickly! It will be bad if everyone sees it." After Qian Yong finished speaking, he looked around, as if he was afraid that others would see him.
"Brother Qian, what happened to you today?" Sun Tu asked puzzledly.
"Haven't you heard the rumors outside?" Qian Yong looked at Sun Tu in confusion.
