Chapter 19: Meeting Mother on the Full Moon
After Dong Yuan threw Sun Tu out, Zhao Lingmeng felt that the scumbag was gone and the whole house was quiet. He still mentioned the Zhou family to her, and Zhao Lingmeng felt unlucky just thinking about it.
"Madam Wu, next time Sun Tu comes, there will be no other food, only the same confinement meal as me. If he doesn't talk, you don't have to pay attention to him. No other messy people are allowed in, and the young masters can't leave anyone alone. My room can't be left unattended at any time either, because who knows if that ungrateful Sun Tu will make a move."
When Aunt Wu heard her wife say this, she immediately felt that her mission was important and she had to guard the courtyard well. Her wife was still in confinement after childbirth and could not fight with anyone.
"Madam, don't worry! Madam will arrange everything. Don't worry about it. You are still in confinement!"
"I'm just afraid that you think too highly of that guy Sun Tu!" Zhao Lingmeng teased with a smile.
"Okay, Madam, I understand. Madam, please get some sleep. If you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you will suffer from pain." Madam Wu looked at Zhao Lingmeng with heartache and advised her. After that, Madam Wu carefully helped Zhao Lingmeng lie down and gently covered her with a quilt.
Zhao Lingmeng was a man who listened to advice, so she complied obediently after hearing what Madam Wu said. Furthermore, her body was weak from the heavy bleeding from childbirth. After all the tossing and turning this morning, she was already sleepy.
"Mammy, I'll sleep for a while." Zhao Lingmeng closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after. This is also a kind of self-protection of the body!
Seeing her wife so frail, Nanny Wu felt incredibly distressed. This was also the first time Nanny Wu had been so angry with her son-in-law. She thought she would definitely not speak well of him this time, and let the three of them starve!
Zhao Lingmeng spent almost another month like this. During this time, she was in confinement and had no time to care for the Zhou family, and they were not allowed to come in. So Zhao Lingmeng's life was relatively comfortable.
The only thing that left Zhao Lingmeng speechless was Sun Tu, that scumbag. He now skipped his shifts and only came to Yixinyuan for three meals a day. No matter how Zhao Lingmeng mocked him, he would still come for the next meal. He was so shameless.
Today was supposed to be Zhao Lingmeng's last day of confinement, but she'd been severely depleted. She planned to stay in confinement for two days, and she wasn't planning any kind of full-moon banquet. Sun Tu didn't have many relatives in Yuanjing, and Zhao Lingmeng's own relatives were aware of her situation and wouldn't mind.
So Zhao Lingmeng slept until she woke up naturally as usual that day. When she woke up, she saw a dignified and elegant lady sitting on her bed, and next to her was a young lady who looked like she came from a wealthy family and looked very gentle.
Zhao Lingmeng was stunned for a moment when he saw this. Then he was hit on the forehead.
Zhao Lingmeng woke up instantly from the pain and murmured, "Mother." Tears streamed down her face as she called out. Zhao Lingmeng had inherited the original owner's memories and thought she couldn't call out her mother. But upon waking and seeing the worried look in the eyes of the Marquis of Wu'an's wife, tears began to flow uncontrollably.
"Don't cry, you'll suffer if you don't stand up for yourself!" Lady Wu'an gently poked Zhao Lingmeng's head. But seeing Zhao Lingmeng like this, Lady Wu'an felt incredibly distressed. She only had this one daughter, and not only did she not marry well, she also had to endure this kind of hardship.
Zhao Shuiyun looked at her mother and sister like this, afraid that they would quarrel again, so she could only smooth things over by saying, "Sister, how are you feeling?"
"Don't worry, second sister. I don't have the energy to argue with mother right now." Zhao Lingmeng replied, imitating the original owner's domineering personality.
Zhao Lingmeng smiled at Zhao Shuiyun after answering. She thought to herself, this is the heroine of this book. She doesn't expect to be a big shot, but it would be best if they could get along peacefully.
"I thought you didn't want your parents' home anymore? You didn't even send an invitation home on the full moon day." Lady Wu'an Hou retorted to Zhao Lingmeng in frustration.
"Mother, look at your daughter's body. Can she get up and hold the full moon banquet?" Zhao Lingmeng said and pointed at herself.
Zhao Shuiyun watched her stepmother and step-sister get along, and she was envious. Although they were always bickering, they actually had a very good relationship.
The wife of the Marquis of Wu'an looked at the people in the room before asking, "Your father asked me to ask you, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Lingmeng said indifferently: "What else can I do? I'll just continue the training! Otherwise, I'll divorce and go home. Is there room for me at home?"
Zhao Lingmeng's words hit the nerves of the wife of Marquis Wu'an again, and she poked Zhao Lingmeng's head again, this time with much greater force than before.
"You damn girl, do you have any conscience? Everyone in your family will do their best to help you!"
"Come on! I'm not a child anymore, I can't be fooled that easily. If I really get a divorce and go home, those girls in the clan won't get married anymore. And even if the clan doesn't mind, will my sister-in-law be happy? I'd better make do with it! Mother, please don't try to persuade me. If you can let me be a widow, I can do that too."
After Yun Yao finished speaking, she looked at the original owner's mother with anticipation.
"Stop dreaming. Your father has lived a clean life. How could he do such a thing? I'm afraid you want your whole family to reunite in the underworld!" Wu Anhou said unhappily.
Regarding such matters, the wife of Marquis Wu'an was very sensible and would never agree to such an unreasonable request from her daughter.
"That's it, I have no choice!" Zhao Lingmeng really didn't care at this moment. This is called having no man in your heart, and being a god when you draw your sword.
Zhao Shuiyun watched her mother and sister chatting casually, and she tactfully said, "Sister, where is my little nephew? I'll go see him. I haven't seen him yet!"
When Zhao Ling dreamed that his half-sister said this, he knew that she wanted to avoid him and let him have a private conversation with his mother.
"Sun Qiyang is in the next room. I'll let Qiuyue take you to see him." After Zhao Lingmeng said this, he signaled Qiuyue with his eyes to take people out to see the young master.
Qiuyue was very smart and took Zhao Shuiyun away.
Zhao Lingmeng saw that both of them had left, and she was the only one left in the room with her mother. Zhao Lingmeng saw that her mother seemed to be hesitant to speak, so she asked directly:
"Mother, just say whatever you want to say! I'm not in a good mood right now. I won't argue with you." As soon as Zhao Lingmeng finished saying this, Yun Yao saw a trace of heartache flash across her mother's eyes.
Seeing the wife of Marquis Wu'an like this, Zhao Lingmeng knew that the original owner's mother was really good to her. She thought to herself that since she had taken someone else's body, she still had to pay back the debt. From now on, this is her real mother, and her family is her own family.
