Chapter 223 Zhao Lingmeng Hasn’t Figured Out How to Establish His Authority
Nanny Sun didn't take this kind of character seriously at all and saluted calmly: "This servant respectfully sends off the wife of Marquis Wu'an and Madam Jin."
The wife of the Marquis of Wu'an heard the voice and turned back to glare at him unwillingly. Seeing that the servant was so perfunctory in her greeting, she couldn't hide her anger. She could only pinch her palm to signal herself to calm down. She had more important things to do now.
Nanny Sun saw the man leave and brushed the nonexistent dust off her sleeves. She thought, "I thought this was so difficult, but it's nothing more than this. Another person who doesn't know how to appreciate what he has."
Seeing that Nanny Sun sent the person away with just a few words, the concierge became even more respectful: "Nanny is really amazing!"
"Alright, keep watch and don't let anyone unlucky in there to piss off His Highness."
When the gatekeepers heard Madam Sun's instructions, they all responded earnestly, "Yes." Serving under Princess Funing was a comfortable place, with easygoing masters and good pay. They absolutely couldn't afford to lose this job.
When Nanny Sun returned to report, she saw His Highness and several other young masters tampering with the plots of land. Three of the young masters were primarily responsible, with Zhao Lingmeng directing the effort.
Zhao Houjing and the others knew that their mother was unhappy today, so they didn't argue with Zhao Lingmeng. Instead, they worked hard according to their mother's instructions.
Zhao Lingmeng looked up and saw Nanny Sun and the others waiting by the roadside. "Are they leaving?"
"Yes! He left without saying a word to me." Nanny Sun smiled and replied truthfully.
Zhao Lingmeng made a powerful gesture to Nanny Sun. Nanny Sun had served Zhao Lingmeng for a long time and was familiar with her occasional strange gestures, but she now understood that this was a compliment to her.
Nanny Sun also smiled and complimented, "It's all thanks to your highness's good teaching."
Zhao Lingmeng knew her own limitations, and she truly thanked Nanny Sun for all these things. Furthermore, ever since Nanny Sun came to her mansion and worked with Qiuyue, she hadn't had to worry about anything else. "Nanny, you only know how to make me happy. You're a formidable figure."
"To hear these words from Your Highness, even if I have to die now, I think it is worth it."
Nanny Sun really thought so. Although she was only responsible for the affairs of His Highness's residence, she vaguely knew that His Highness was helping the Emperor. Moreover, she had served the Emperor and knew his temperament. Since the Emperor valued His Highness so much, His Highness's contribution must be quite significant.
So she admired His Highness very much in her heart. Besides, His Highness was also very kind to others. She felt really happy to be praised by such a person as a person of great stature.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the protective Nanny Sun with amusement. She must have felt both happy and helpless. She was happy that Nanny was so kind, but she was helpless because she was the emperor's person. But it was useless to think too much now. She just had to take it one step at a time.
"Mammy, you're exaggerating."
Nanny Sun smiled dotingly and looked at Zhao Lingmeng curiously: "Your Highness, what are you going to do about this matter in the end?"
Nanny Sun's question really stumped Zhao Lingmeng. After she calmed down, she still hadn't decided whether to take Jin Mingcheng's life or not. Zhao Lingmeng thought about it and felt that it was a bit difficult to deal with:
"I haven't made up my mind yet. Let's see how things turn out! I'm mainly worried about putting my father in a difficult position, but I definitely have to pay the price, otherwise people will think I'm easy to bully!"
Zhao Lingmeng's eyes grew sharper as she spoke. She was still too soft-hearted. Even a wretch like this wanted to scheme against her, and she probably thought it was a gift to her. Even if Jin Mingcheng could escape this time, he would be half dead.
"Your Highness is really kind-hearted." Nanny Sun sighed sincerely. Looking at the attitude of the wife of Marquis Wu'an today, she felt that she did not take His Highness seriously.
"Mammy, let's not talk about these bad things. I want to eat barbecue tonight. Is that okay?"
Zhao Lingmeng asked this not because she needed to ask Nanny Sun about everything, but because she wasn't sure if the mansion had any meat ready for roasting today. She also didn't want everyone to feel awkward about her meal.
The three Zhao Houjing brothers, who were present, all looked at Madam Sun with burning eyes when they heard their mother's question. They undoubtedly wanted to eat it too; they were at the age when they were craving meat! Especially when it was such delicious barbecue.
Looking at the expressions of Zhao Lingmeng and her three children, Nanny Sun knew that she had to agree. Even if there was no such thing, they had to agree.
"Yes, yes, I will go down and arrange it right away."
Zhao Lingmeng was delighted when Nanny Sun said this and immediately returned to work. Like Zhao Lingmeng, Zhao Houjing and his three brothers were also enticed by the delicious food and worked very hard.
After leaving Princess Funing's residence, Wu'an Marquis's wife, Jin, and Madam Jin went their separate ways to find a solution. Wu'an Marquis' wife went straight back to the residence.
She still didn't give up, and the moment she left the house, she sent someone to go to the Imperial Academy to call back her eldest son, Zhao Zhimo. Zhao Zhimo was already waiting in Jin's courtyard.
Originally, when Zhao Zhimo was called back, the old lady Wei and Wu'an Hou Zhao Anping, who was pretending to be a good son in Wei's courtyard, both received the news.
Zhao Anping wanted to call Zhao Zhimo over immediately, but Madam Wei stopped her eldest son immediately, "Let him make his own choice! Otherwise, he will regret it later."
Although Zhao Anping didn't want his son to face this dilemma, he didn't dare to call his son over privately. At this moment, Zhao Anping could only pray that his son was not a foolish filial person.
But Zhao Anping was still restless. He looked outside the door from time to time and instructed the people around him to find out the news and report to him at any time.
As soon as Lady Jin, the wife of Marquis Wu'an, entered the yard, she saw her eldest son Zhao Zhimo standing there waiting for her.
As soon as Zhao Zhimo saw Jin come in, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "My son greets mother. I wonder what is the matter that made you come back so anxiously? I asked the people in the courtyard, but they wouldn't tell me."
Jin acted like a loving mother and even helped Zhao Zhimo up. "Come in with me first! I have something to ask you."
Zhao Zhimo saw his mother's seriousness. He followed Jin and asked, "Mother, what's going on? Why are you begging?"
Jin didn't answer immediately. Instead, she went into the house and dismissed the servants around her. She pretended to look at Zhao Zhimo calmly and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that mother is anxious to see your aunt. Your aunt won't see me. Can you help me ask her?"
"Why doesn't my aunt want to see my mother?" Zhao Zhimo was very surprised. When did the relationship between his mother and his eldest aunt deteriorate to this extent?
Jin didn't dare tell Zhao Zhimo the truth and could only lie, "Maybe I offended her with my words some time ago, and now I want to apologize to your aunt. Can you go and ask for her help, or should I go with you?"
