Chapter 24: Fooling Sun Qijing
"So, Dad, what are you going to do?"
Looking at this child who was already worrying about his parents at such a young age, Sun Tu felt for the first time that he had done something wrong, otherwise he would have made his three-year-old child feel uneasy.
Sun Tu squatted down and picked up his eldest son. "You are still a child. Don't worry about your parents' affairs. We adults will solve these problems sooner or later. Look at your brother Sun Qiming. He doesn't think about these things. He eats, drinks and plays every day. How happy he is!"
Sun Qijing felt helpless when he heard his father say this. He wanted to tell his father that Sun Qiming was so happy, but he didn't even care about you. He just wanted to follow his mother wholeheartedly. Sun Qijing could only sigh like a little adult.
"Then Dad, please comfort Mom as soon as possible!" Sun Qijing said this worriedly. In his heart, he was still thinking that his father only looked smart, but he was not good at doing things.
"Jing'er, I always feel that you have changed a lot now!" Sun Tu sighed softly as he looked at the little guy in his arms. He thought about how Jing'er used to let servants ride on him like horses, and he was also willful and wanted everything he wanted. In all the days he went in and out of Yixin Courtyard, he had never seen him throw a tantrum.
When Sun Qijing heard his father want to bring up his past again, he immediately spoke up, "Dad, do you think that with you as a ready-made example, if I offend Mom, will I get away with anything? I still have some tolerance. Now I am my Mom's good son."
Sun Tu felt sad and amused when he heard this. "You are such a mischievous person. But I am very happy that you can come and persuade Dad today."
Sun Qijing didn't say anything, and leaned his head on Sun Tu's shoulder, enjoying the sense of security of being held by his father.
Sun Tu held Sun Qijing for a while before putting him down and patting his head. "Go and play! Daddy will stay for a while. He also needs to go see your grandmother and the others."
"Okay, Dad, say hello to me and grandma! Just say I will visit them in a few days. Your son will leave first." After Sun Qijing said this, he took the hand of the maid next to him and went out.
Sun Tu looked at Sun Qijing's back as he left, and for a moment he didn't know what he was thinking. In short, he stood there in a daze for a long time before leaving with his servant.
After Sun Qijing had persuaded his father, he immediately went to his mother's room. While he was still at the door, he heard the laughter of his mother and his younger brother, Sun Qiming. For a moment, Sun Qijing felt a little redundant, but he still mustered the courage to go in.
Sun Qiming was the first to see Sun Qijing come in. He immediately waved and greeted him without showing any sign of anger. "Brother, come and see the little brother. He's so cute!"
Sun Qijing was a little confused, but he walked over quickly. After Sun Qiming's enthusiastic introduction, he touched Sun Qiyang's feet. It really felt soft, and Sun Qijing also felt cute in his heart.
Then he looked up at Zhao Lingmeng and called out softly, "Mother."
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Sun Qijing's uneasy face, as if he had done something wrong. She reached out and touched his head. "Don't think that you are betraying me by going to see your father. I don't mind it. After all, your father has been very good to you in recent years. If you stay away from your father because you are afraid of my anger, I will feel disappointed. So you did nothing wrong."
"Yes, brother, you did nothing wrong. Mother has just explained the reason to me. Now I also think you did nothing wrong." Sun Qiming immediately agreed after his mother finished speaking.
Zhao Lingmeng thought to herself, no wonder some parents play favorites. Like her own sons, she currently favored the second oldest. Some children are just so sweet. But she wouldn't show it, constantly reminding herself not to be a partial mother.
Zhao Lingmeng patted their heads again and said, "You two are my good children."
Then Zhao Lingmeng pulled Sun Qijing to sit beside her bed, stroked his head, and thinking of the original owner's hope for her son to return to her side, she explained seriously: "Mom knows that you didn't grow up by my side since you were a child, and you would feel a little uneasy when you suddenly came back. But you are also my child, and I definitely love you.
When I gave birth to you, I had just married your father. At that time, I wanted our family to work together. So, you were born with such high expectations on my part, how could I not love you? It was just that your grandmother insisted on raising you, and I was a bit sentimental at the time, so I only cared about your father. So, I agreed.
It has always been my mother's wish to have you come back. But if you want to go back to your grandmother, I will definitely agree. But your grandmother and the others want to use you to control me, so that's not possible. (Although Zhao Lingmeng said this, she was thinking in her heart that no one should dare to touch my son)
Sun Qijing listened to his mother's words and knew that she meant that he could live anywhere he wanted. But when he looked at his two younger brothers, he had a feeling that they would definitely fight him for his mother. "Mom, I don't want to go back."
Sun Qijing didn't realize at the moment that his premonition was incredibly accurate. As the eldest son, he would have to rely on others to support his mother, which was absurd.
But when Zhao Lingmeng heard Sun Qijing say this, she still breathed a sigh of relief. She had taken great pains to raise this little guy for nearly a month, and finally she had tamed him.
So she continued, "You are indeed my eldest son, so if you want to visit your grandmother and aunt, you can go. You can bring my maidservant of the Dong generation with you. I won't think it's a big deal."
This is not because Zhao Lingmeng is a saint. On the one hand, she thinks that if Zhou and others always treat Sun Qijing well, Sun Qijing should be filial to them. She just needs to keep a close eye on him and prevent him from going astray.
On the other hand, Zhao Lingmeng felt that it was better to let things flow than to block them. As Sun Qijing grew older and understood more, if she continued to prevent them from meeting, he might only remember the good things. If they continued to interact, over time, even the most ugly thoughts would become unconcealable.
"Mom, you are much better than I imagined." Sun Qijing was so happy when he heard his mother suggest that he could visit his grandmother and aunt at any time. He really missed them.
"You think your mother is nice now, but she is still very fierce. If you three do something wrong in the future, I will not show mercy." After saying this, Zhao Lingmeng looked at the remaining two kids equally.
Sun Qijing, however, felt a sense of relief when he saw his mother not even sparing his young brother. It was as if he had truly returned to this place at that moment.
