Chapter 194 Jin is floating
After Zhao Lingmeng finished speaking, she picked up the tea and drank it again. This time, drinking tea meant serving tea to see the guest off.
Jin was really a little uneasy at this moment, but her education prevented her from pretending not to understand.
I could only stand up slowly and say, "I'm leaving!"
This time, Zhao Lingmeng didn't even ask Qiuyue to send her out. She just stared blankly as Jin and her servants left.
"Your Highness, what's happening to the wife of Marquis Wu'an?" Qiuyue looked at Jin's back in confusion and asked Zhao Lingmeng directly.
"She's been flattered for too long, and she's become arrogant. Now she wants to act like a sister-in-law in front of me, thinking she can control me."
Zhao Lingmeng had lived two lives, and she had seen this kind of person before. She was just a little sad, after all, she had really treated her as a family member in the past few years.
Qiuyue was very angry when she heard His Highness say this, "How could Madam Hou do this? Isn't our Highness good enough to her?"
As soon as Qiuyue finished saying this, the three Zhao Houjing brothers came in.
"Mom, did your aunt quarrel with you? Why did she leave in anger?" Zhao Houjing asked first.
Zhao Houming and Zhao Houyang also looked at Zhao Lingmeng curiously.
"I guess so! Adult matters have nothing to do with you kids. Just continue playing with Zhimo." Zhao Lingmeng said as she pulled Zhao Houyang into her arms and hugged him.
Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming nodded thoughtfully. They looked at each other. It seemed that their aunt had indeed offended their mother, but their mother would not interfere in the relationships of the younger generations.
"When you come back from the farm, can you go to study at your brothers' academy?"
Zhao Houyang nodded obediently. It didn't matter to him where he went to study.
Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houyang glanced at each other again. It seemed that their aunt had really offended their mother. However, since their mother didn't want them to get involved, they pretended not to know. After all, they were just on good terms with their cousin Zhimo.
Zhao Lingmeng watched Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming exchange glances, and she remembered what her second brother had asked her to ask: "Your aunt said that your eldest cousin should study hard at home and not go to the farm to play."
Zhao Houming spread his hands. They had invited him anyway, and his aunt hadn't allowed him to go, so he couldn't blame them: "Oh, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to go."
Zhao Houjing was stunned at first. He hadn't expected his second brother to actually want his eldest cousin to go with them, nor had he expected his aunt to actually refuse. He could only shake his head helplessly.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an, Jin, did indeed leave Zhao Lingmeng's mansion in a rage and returned in a hurry with her men.
Her anger contained her embarrassment and a hint of guilt. At this moment, she seemed to realize that she was wrong, but she didn't want to lower her head, so she had to show her strength so as not to appear guilty.
When Zhao Anping and Zhao Zhimo came back in the evening, they found that Jin looked like she had been bullied and was very angry.
Zhao Anping has had a good relationship with Jin over the years and has never taken a concubine, so he is still very concerned about his wife's unhappiness.
Zhao Anping gave his eldest son Zhao Zhimo a look, and Zhao Zhimo immediately understood. He said with a smile: "Mother, who offended you? Tell me, and I will help you vent your anger."
Jin looked at her eldest son and felt no comfort at all: "Your aunt has offended me. How are you going to vent my anger?"
Zhao Zhimo couldn't respond to this and could only smile awkwardly, "Father, Mother, I remember that I still have some unfinished homework assigned by the teacher, so I'll take my leave now."
Zhao Zhimo finished speaking, saluted hastily, and immediately ran away. He was so fast that it seemed as if something was chasing him from behind.
Jin could only complain unwillingly, "Heartless thing."
Zhao Anping frowned and said helplessly: "Madam, what are you talking about!"
When Jin heard that Zhao Anping was helping his eldest son, she immediately exploded: "What's your attitude? I'm talking about my own son, and you're saying that?"
Zhao Anping was stunned for a moment, then he became angry: "Have you been living a good life for too long these years? I have given you the face, and you dare to speak to me like this?"
"You..." This was the first time Zhao Anping had spoken to Jin like this since she married into the family. She was a little bit incredulous and a little panicked. After all, she had been taught to take care of her husband and children.
Zhao Anping: "Is it because I haven't taken a concubine in these years and you have no one to fight with, that you are so bored that you want to compete with your sister-in-law?"
"You don't even ask what's going on, but you stand on your sister's side. Isn't that a bit too much?" The more Jin spoke, the more she felt wronged, and tears fell from her eyes.
Seeing his wife crying so sadly, Zhao Anping thought he had wronged her, so he immediately sat next to her and wiped her tears.
"Okay, if it's me who's wrong, tell me where it is. If it's really my younger sister who's wrong, I'll go and talk to her for you."
Jin also knew the principle of quitting while she was ahead, so she immediately smiled and said, "Are you serious?"
Zhao Anping was naturally intelligent, and after so many years in the imperial court, he could see that there was something fishy going on. But he still smiled gently and said, "Tell me about it first."
Jin thought she had Zhao Anping under control, so she immediately told him everything that had happened that afternoon. She didn't dare to exaggerate too much. After all, if her husband questioned her and it was exposed, her life would be difficult.
Jin emphasized that she was very busy and that her sister-in-law could just send someone to let her know, but she insisted someone pass the message over to let her go. There was also the matter of Zhao Lingmeng's unenthusiastic attitude.
Zhao Anping, such a smart man, understood everything immediately. He smiled even more gently, "It's my husband's fault. It turns out that managing the Marquis' Mansion is so tiring. Tomorrow I will find someone to help you."
Zhao Anping had never expected that his wife would be described as a fool by her own family, and even wanted to manipulate the eldest princess and act like the eldest sister-in-law.
Don't I respect her enough? Don't I care about her enough? Just wait and see! This time, she's completely offended me. This will definitely affect my youngest son's future. I won't even be able to mention any opportunities in the future.
Jin stared at Zhao Anping in shock. This statement was different from what she had imagined. She screamed, "My Lord, what do you mean?"
"It means literally. If you can't understand it, you will understand it tomorrow."
After Zhao Anping finished speaking, he got up and went to the study in the front yard.
When Zhao Anping arrived at the front yard study angrily, Zhao Zhimo was already waiting in the study. He was still worried about his mother. He was waiting here because he wanted to know what happened between his mother and his aunt.
When Zhao Zhimo saw his father coming in, he immediately went up to him and asked, "Father...what happened between Mother and Aunt?"
