Chapter 138 Wu'an Marquis Gives Up His Title
The wife of the Marquis of Wu'an turned around and saw that the Marquis had finished drinking his tea, so she knew nothing was wrong. But she still glared at the Marquis of Wu'an in anger.
Wu An Hou thought that his wife was still worried about his daughter, so he could only personally hand the tea to his wife and said, "Drink some! Meng'er is fine. She was just spoiled since she was a child. She ran so far suddenly that her body couldn't bear it. I think she will be in pain for a few days."
After Wu Anhou explained this, his wife understood. She knew her daughter was too lazy to do anything. She was the type who would rather sit than stand. "Meng'er, why don't you learn a set of boxing techniques from your father and practice them? Your body is not even as good as your father's."
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was also very helpless, but she was just making a suggestion, but she would not force it, after all, she was a girl!
"Let's talk about it later! I don't want to move. It's too hard to persist." Zhao Lingmeng knows herself. It's okay to practice occasionally, but she can't persist every day.
"You..." Wu Anhou shook his head helplessly. If it was a son, it would be very easy to deal with, but this was a daughter, so he had no way.
Seeing that her daughter was fine, Wu'an Marquis's wife turned her attention to Wu'an Marquis, "My Lord, why don't you go back?"
"Go back? Go back where? I will go wherever my wife is!" Wu Anhou said the last sentence with such confidence!
The wife of Marquis Wu'an didn't care about these things, but she was a little worried: "With us not here, can Anping and his wife handle it?"
Marquis Wu'an patted his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry! We are still here."
"Why don't I see the three little guys?" Zhao Lingmeng looked around and didn't see the three energetic children.
"They've already gone to bed. The three of them are exhausted today, especially Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming. They're really exhausted."
The wife of the Marquis of Wu'an was very pleased. She felt that the two children had behaved very smartly and reliably today, acting like adults. As long as they were properly nurtured, Meng'er's life would not be bad in the future.
When Zhao Lingmeng heard that the child was asleep, she leaned back in the chair and relaxed. Although she was very tired, she actually felt that she could still play for a while.
"Father, Mother, you can live in the courtyard in front! It's big, and I've already had it ready. We have clothes and other things, including Father's court robes. If you're not satisfied with anything, you can change it at will. There are plenty of courtyards in my mansion!"
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was not polite. She thought that her daughter's family, who didn't have a son-in-law yet, might be more comfortable than living in the Marquis Wu'an Mansion: "Okay, your father and I will go and live there first. If we are not satisfied, we can change."
Wu Anhou also nodded. He was very happy in his heart, but he was still quite arrogant: "You said you didn't plan to keep me. You even prepared the court clothes."
The wife of Marquis Wu'an could only pat his hand lightly and said, "Alright, stop showing off! That's all for today! We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else! It's too late today."
Wu Anhou agreed. Everyone had been busy all day and was actually quite tired. He stood up and helped his wife out. Zhao Lingmeng didn't stand up either, but just waved to them.
Wu Anhou originally came from the military, and the couple didn't think anything of their daughter's casualness. Instead, they felt a closeness. Isn't this how family members are supposed to be? Being polite to each other isn't enough!
After Zhao Lingmeng's father and mother left, she went to bed without even taking a bath.
The Marquis of Wu'an and his wife slowly supported each other as they walked towards the courtyard in the front yard. "My daughter's personality has become more and more cheerful. The last time she played with me like this was when she was very young. I don't even know how long it has been."
"Yes! That's great." Lady Wu'an Hou also thought this was great. She no longer had to worry about her daughter's future.
Marquis Wu'an did not tell his wife his thoughts. He planned to give her a surprise when the time came.
The Marquis of Wu'an's son was also quite troubled. "You all have returned to the mansion. Why don't you go back to your own courtyards to sleep? Why are you all gathered in my courtyard?"
"Brother, how long will Father and Mother have to stay with my eldest sister?" Zhao Ancheng was the most anxious because he was the youngest of all the brothers and sisters. He hadn't even passed the most basic exam to become a student, and he didn't want to live under his eldest brother's care so early.
"I don't know. Maybe he'll be back tomorrow morning if he doesn't wear court attire," was all Zhao Anping, the Marquis of Wu'an, could say to comfort him. But he didn't think his father and mother would stay with his sister for much longer. He felt they would definitely be back in a couple of days.
It was not until the next day that Marquis Wu'an submitted a memorial to the court to give up his title, and the reason was that he wanted to help Princess Funing take care of her children.
Everyone in the court thought that Marquis Wu'an was joking. How could a man of noble title be asked to take care of his daughter's children?
The son of Marquis Wu'an wanted to persuade his father to stop making trouble, but he did not dare to move at the grand court meeting.
What surprised everyone even more was that the emperor thought about it and actually agreed. The main reason was that the emperor wanted to launch a counterattack on the border, and when that happened, he might need to look for Princess Funing at any time. Then her three children would really be left unattended. If they were left anywhere, their mother would definitely be worried.
It was good that Changyou wanted to take care of the children now. When the war broke out, Changyou wouldn't have to go to the battlefield. The emperor didn't want Changyou to be in charge of the army anymore, nor did he want him to die on the battlefield, so he agreed very readily.
When Marquis Wu'an saw the emperor's agreement, he felt a little disappointed, but he was also happy. He was old, and it was time for him to make way for the younger generation, so that Anping could take over more smoothly. He just wanted to preserve the great foundation of Marquis Wu'an.
So, Marquis Wu'an thanked him so readily. Seeing how quickly he thanked him, the emperor felt that his previous assumptions had been misunderstood. Marquis Wu'an should have been loyal to him. But the emperor was always right, so the emperor's guilt only lasted a second before dissipating.
After the court was dismissed, Marquis Wu'an did not return to Princess Funing's residence, but went directly back to the Marquis Wu'an residence. He still had to deal with some matters in the residence. Only after these were dealt with could he visit his daughter more often.
When the news came, the wife of Wu'an Marquis immediately packed up her things and returned to Wu'an Marquis. At this time, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion must be divided, and she, the mistress of the house, must be there.
Zhao Lingmeng knew her parents had important matters to attend to, so they wouldn't keep them. But she still exclaimed inwardly, "Wow! I just casually mentioned it yesterday, and my father has already done it!" Zhao Lingmeng couldn't help but admire Wu'an Hou's speed.
