Chapter 242: Zhao Lingmeng and Wu'an Hou clash again
Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen started learning math from Zhao Lingmeng, and Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming also started learning some math after learning about it. However, they didn't study with the two younger children because they were very busy during the day.
When the mood struck that evening, they asked Zhao Lingmeng to tell them about it, just as a hobby. After all, the top scholar didn't rely on this.
As time went by, Yang Chengchen's relationship with his cousins blossomed, becoming so close that they were practically the same age. He also witnessed what a true academic master looked like, and he deeply admired his two cousins.
Especially once when he was staying in the Princess's Mansion and experienced the morning of the three brothers, he just wanted to express that it was a true portrayal of "people who are smarter than you also work harder than you."
Before daybreak, he was pulled out of his bed by his second cousin, the way they carry small animals, and then joined the three of them in martial arts practice. Only then did he realize they were actually practicing martial arts.
Then, we went to my aunt's yard to have breakfast with her. This was a form of self-comfort. Since my aunt wasn't home and hadn't gotten up yet, it was essentially just the four of us eating. Then we washed up and read for a while before heading out to the Imperial Academy together.
As soon as Yang Chengchen got on the carriage, he began to look forward to the arrival of evening. He had the illusion that a long time had passed and it was almost evening.
Although he repeatedly insisted that he could be woken later in the morning, as long as he lived in the Princess's mansion, he would be woken up. After so many times, he didn't even struggle. He slowly began to get used to this kind of life, sometimes even enjoying it.
Zhao Ling dreamed that Yang Chengchen had also adapted, so she began to devote a lot of energy to the research of the heavy crossbow, repeatedly calculating data, making models, and testing its power. After six months of diligent research, she finally developed the final version of the heavy crossbow.
Before she had time to be happy, she heard Chunshui report that Marquis Wu'an had arrived.
"Let the eldest brother wait in the front yard! I'll go to the front yard to meet him." Now Zhao Lingmeng rarely lets anyone enter the backyard. Now only the three children and Yang Chengchen can come and go freely in the backyard, but they are not allowed to enter the study.
Zhao Lingmeng had almost no contact with her eldest sister-in-law, Jin. She simply went along with whatever important events and banquets the Marquis of Wu'an hosted. She didn't stop the children from playing with Zhimo. It was just that she rarely offered anything to them.
When Zhao Lingmeng arrived at the front yard, he saw his elder brother Zhao Anping already drinking tea.
"Big Brother" Zhao Lingmeng brought people in and called out affectionately.
Wu'an Marquis Zhao Anping was very polite. When he saw Zhao Lingmeng and her companions coming in, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess."
"Brother, we are all family, no need to be so polite." Zhao Lingmeng said as she sat in the main seat. Anyway, it was up to her brother whether to listen to her or not.
Zhao Anping also smiled and stood up, then silently sat back in his previous position.
"Brother, what's the matter that you came to see me at this time?" Zhao Lingmeng was indeed quite curious. It was already morning and it was not time for lunch yet.
After Zhao Lingmeng asked, she saw her elder brother was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he wanted to ask her something.
"As for my second son, Zhao Zhifu, he doesn't have a very good talent for studying. I know your ability. You can teach two people or three people. Please help me teach them."
Zhao Anping had no other choice. His second son had no talent for studying. He was also spoiled by Jin Shi and was on the verge of ruin. He also wanted his younger sister to help take care of him.
"Oh, if big brother has a child born out of wedlock, I would be willing to mention it to the emperor. As for Jin's child, big brother, didn't you see that I didn't even take care of Zhimo? What about him?"
Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to do such a thankless job. What if she raised an ungrateful person? Wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
"Little sister" Zhao Anping's heart was also full of bitterness. He also knew that Jin had completely offended his little sister last time, but he did not expect that his little sister would be so angry.
"Brother, you are not going to talk about our friendship in the past, are you?" Zhao Lingmeng said this, took the tea beside him and took a sip slowly, then added: "I remember when I was a child, my relationship with my second brother was the best. Have you seen my second brother ask me for anything?
And do we really have a deep friendship? When I married Sun Tu, did you persuade my father, did you persuade me, did you investigate Sun Tu? When I was not doing well, did you threaten Sun Tu privately?
Brother, you are not the only smart person. I only did this for father's sake, but I am not a sucker.
Moreover, you have inherited your father's title and most of the family property. If you don't support us, what else do you want? All the brothers and sisters revolve around you?
And doesn’t Wu’an Marquis Mansion have a good relationship with Zhao Shuiyun? For this kind of thing, you can just go to her.”
Every time Zhao Lingmeng said something, Zhao Anping's face turned pale.
"Well, I'm gone!"
Zhao Anping was very confused by his younger sister's words: "What?"
"Nothing, I just told Big Brother that the woman who was bullied by Sun Tu is gone. Now I won't let anyone bully me. I don't need anyone to give me confidence anymore."
Anyway, Zhao Lingmeng felt that the Wu'an Marquisate could do whatever they wanted, and it had nothing to do with her. Their only connection was their father and mother. But even if it was their father and mother, she would not compromise.
Although she came here, her father and mother treated her well, but after all, they had abandoned the original owner. If they really had to choose, they would probably choose their son! She didn't blame them, but they couldn't make her decision.
Zhao Anping knew that what he did was not authentic, but as a parent, children always come first. "Little sister, I didn't know you thought this way. I won't do this again. I only came to you because I think you are reliable."
"Brother, I've fallen out with Jin, and I won't let her take advantage of me. That's me. And I'm still willing to call you brother, that's all."
Zhao Anping saw that Zhao Lingmeng was so determined to speak. He was just a little selfish and did not want to break up with his younger sister.
"Little sister, it was Big Brother's fault this time. Don't be angry. I won't mention this matter again in the future."
If he really pissed off his younger sister, his second brother would probably come and beat him up before his father even came back. Besides, his younger sister was the eldest princess now, so he didn't dare to piss her off.
Zhao Lingmeng felt it was quite boring to see her brother like this. She served him tea and sent him away. She didn't know if this was right or wrong, but she was really disappointed in her brother. He could obviously teach this child well by himself.
He didn't want to conflict with Jin, so he wanted to be the bad guy, which made her speechless.
