Chapter 193 Some people just drifted apart while walking
"I've never heard you say anything is not tasty!" Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to agree with what the three of them said, for fear that they would make some unreasonable demands again.
"Mom..." Zhao Houyang felt that the three of them had no way to deal with this smart mother.
Zhao Lingmeng ignored them! She picked out the things she liked and ate them quickly and gracefully! "Put away those stupid ideas of yours."
When Zhao Houjing and his two brothers came to their senses, they found that there were not many delicious dishes left, so for a while, the three brothers buried their heads in eating. They would think about the delicious dishes later! They ate this meal first.
After Zhao Lingmeng, her mother, and her two children finished their lunch in a flash, each of them drank a cup of tea to help digestion.
"It's not good to eat so much every time. It's not good for your health." Zhao Lingmeng said hypocritically.
"I think what mom said is right, so you should eat less each time. But it's different for me, I'm still growing!"
When Zhao Lingmeng heard what Zhao Houyang said, she rolled her eyes speechlessly. She originally didn't want to pay attention to this irritating little guy, but she felt that she couldn't encourage his arrogance: "Yes, you are still growing, I'm afraid you won't grow sideways!"
Zhao Houyang often joked and joked with Zhao Lingmeng, so he didn't take his mother's words to heart. He was still thinking to himself, "My brothers are two nerds, they can't even dress up to entertain their parents. I'm shouldering too much at such a young age."
"Mom, you don't understand. It's normal for a young man to look like me."
"Just be narcissistic! You're so fat that you can't even see your neck."
Although Zhao Houyang didn't know what his mother meant by narcissism, he understood it so well that the back of his neck became invisible.
"Mom..." Zhao Houyang stared at Zhao Lingmeng with resentful eyes, hoping that his mother would take back what she had just said.
Zhao Lingmeng's mental endurance is really good! Pretending not to see is a skill she can easily master.
Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming, who were standing by, watched their third brother being humiliated in front of their mother and laughed so hard that they fell over.
When Zhao Lingmeng's elder sister-in-law, the current wife of Marquis Wu'an, Jin, was brought in by Qiuyue, she saw such a happy picture.
She was stunned for a moment, then she was left with envy. Although her two children were very filial and respectful to her, they were both well-behaved in front of her and the Marquis, but not as comfortable as her sister-in-law's children.
Zhao Houjing was the first to see Jin. He immediately placed the teacup on the table and stood up to greet her. "Greetings, aunt!"
Zhao Houming and Zhao Houyang also immediately restrained their expressions, stood up and saluted seriously.
Jin immediately asked the three of them to stand up and praised them respectively, showing that she knew how to treat everyone equally.
After praising the child, Jin also bowed seriously: "Greetings, Princess."
Zhao Lingmeng reached out to support Jin, "Sister-in-law, it's almost done."
"That won't work. Etiquette cannot be abolished."
When Zhao Lingmeng heard her sister-in-law say this, she just ignored her and let her be. After all these years of getting along, Zhao Lingmeng felt that the longer her sister-in-law Jin served as the Marquis's wife, the more she paid attention to these things, as if she was afraid of any shortcomings.
After Jin had finished her formalities, Zhao Lingmeng took her hand affectionately and said, "Sit down, sister-in-law!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Jin in confusion, thinking that she had not done anything to offend her sister-in-law recently, so why did she have such an attitude?
However, no matter how much Zhao Ling dreams, she will not give Jin a way out. If she wants to do something, she will not indulge her.
When Jin saw Zhao Lingmeng didn't respond, she was also stunned. She did have some issues with her sister-in-law. She had sent her invitations, but she always came when she wanted to and didn't come when she didn't want to. She felt that after all, she was still Zhao Lingmeng's eldest sister-in-law, and she felt that her sister-in-law was acting like a princess in front of her.
Zhao Lingmeng saw that Jin was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. She didn't care and signaled with her eyes that Zhao Houjing and his two brothers should go out and play.
When the three brothers Zhao Houjing heard their mother's signal, they immediately bowed to Zhao Lingmeng and Jin and slipped away.
Jin only felt a little embarrassed after Zhao Houjing and his two brothers left.
"Your Highness, how could your three children leave without a word? This is not good. Our Zhimo would never do that."
"Sister-in-law, if you are sick, go see a doctor, don't come here to pick a fight with me."
When Jin saw how strong Zhao Lingmeng was, she instantly felt weak and murmured sadly: "I was just talking..."
Zhao Lingmeng continued to drink her tea, not even bothering to glance at Jin. But she was still very uneasy. Over the past few years, she had been completely devoted to her elder brother and sister-in-law. Yet, she had never missed out on any benefits, and in return, this was what she got. It was true that greed is the result of a snake swallowing an elephant.
Seeing that Zhao Lingmeng had no intention of speaking, Jin knew that she had offended her sister-in-law, but she was also dissatisfied. She immediately said sarcastically: "I don't know what the princess wants me to do. If not, I will take my leave. There are still a lot of things to deal with in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion! I can't leave!"
When Zhao Lingmeng heard her sister-in-law say this, she didn't explain and said casually: "Oh, I'm going to live in the dowry farm tomorrow. I want to ask you, Zhimo, if you want to ask for leave to go to the farm with me to play for a while."
"You called me here just for this." Jin looked at Zhao Lingmeng in disbelief. She didn't know how tiring it was to manage a marquis's mansion.
"No matter what happens to me, it's not a small matter." Zhao Lingmeng has never lost when arguing with others. Sometimes she doesn't want to talk back, but she just thinks it's unnecessary. But don't think she is easy to control.
"Do you know how exhausted I am managing the Marquis' Mansion alone? Can't you just send someone to ask about this little matter?"
"Oh? If my sister-in-law is unwilling to take care of it, I will ask my father to give my brother a few good concubines. There will always be someone willing to take care of the Marquis's mansion."
If Zhao Lingmeng hadn't been truly speechless, she wouldn't have said such a thing. Jin was in charge of a marquisate, and she, a married woman, was expected to be grateful. Those things would be given to her children in the future, but not even a single cent belonged to her.
Jin was truly bewildered when she heard Zhao Lingmeng say this. Previously, she, the sister-in-law, had absolutely no intention of interfering in her eldest brother's affairs, but now...
"Sister, that's not what sister-in-law meant. Don't bother with sister-in-law. We Zhimo are not as good at studying as Jing'er and his brother, so we won't go out to play."
"Whatever!" Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to argue any further. Since Jin had changed, she would only be the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an. For Zhao Lingmeng now, a Marquis' wife wasn't worth her while.
