Chapter 25 Sun Tu's confusing family
On Zhao Lingmeng's side, the four of them, mother and children, were having a great time, and it was very harmonious and happy.
However, Sun Tu's side was not so peaceful. When Sun Tu led his men to the bamboo courtyard, the other three people in the mansion gathered together, and they were very happy.
As soon as Sun Tu entered, Wang Xiaoyi immediately stepped forward and took Sun Tu's arm and acted coquettishly: "Brother Sun Tu, you haven't come to see me for a long time."
Thinking about the stopped expenses in the mansion and the rumors outside that had not stopped for such a long time, Sun Tu pulled his hand away reflexively. However, as a weak scholar, he was not as strong as Wang Xiaoyi, and he couldn't pull his hand away after a long time.
"Let me go, how can this be disgraceful?" Sun Tu shouted angrily.
Wang Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, but still didn't let go, sobbing in grievance: "Brother Sun Tu, when you took my money, you said you would come back to marry me, but you ended up getting married. When that bitch Zhao Lingmeng beat me, you didn't even dare to stand up for me, leaving me lying in bed for over a month before I could get up."
When Sun Tu heard Wang Xiaoyi say this, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought it was over. The house was full of people who belonged to the Madam, so he immediately shook Wang Xiaoyi's hand away and angrily said, "If you call her Madam, you will have to live under her from now on."
Wang Xiaoyi's weight was originally leaning on Sun Tu, but when Sun Tu swung him, he instantly fell backwards. Sun Tu wanted to reach out and pull him back, but thinking about his current situation in the mansion, he refrained from reaching out.
Wang Xiaoyi was really stunned by the fall, and when she came to her senses, she burst into tears. In fact, she was also very aggrieved. She was supposed to have lost her position as the legal wife, and now she had given her body to Sun Tu, and was beaten, and now he was treating her like this. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and the louder she cried.
"Tu'er, what are you doing? Why are you so angry with your mother?" Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up. Wang Xiaoyi was the one who sent her son to his bed. By treating Wang Xiaoyi like this, Zhou felt that Sun Tu was slapping her in the face.
"Mom, please wake up. If it weren't for what you did, would the situation have turned out like this? Calculate how many days your son has stayed at home." Sun Tu felt even more helpless after saying this.
Zhou felt guilty for a moment, then said confidently, "Which man in this world doesn't take a concubine? Why should my son have to stay with Zhao Lingmeng alone?"
Seeing his mother still in this state, Sun Tu knew that this situation would never be solved. Sun Tu rubbed his forehead and said to Wang Xiaoyi, who was still crying on the ground, "Don't cry anymore. Just because you wanted to kill my wife's child, you should be grateful for the outcome you have now! You are still making trouble in the mansion. You know that your father wrote to you a few days ago to say that you were willing to be a concubine and had already removed you from the family tree.
"I'll take care of you for the sake of our past friendship, but do you really understand what it means to be a concubine? Even if the mistress beats you to death, I wouldn't dare say a word. Even if I give you a child in the future, your child will be the mistress's child. She can raise him however she wants, and you won't get any share of the family property in the future. Do you really think you're making the right move?"
"But Aunt Zhou didn't say that. She said that as long as Brother Sun Tu likes me, Zhao Lingmeng will give in to me. Besides, my parents love me so much, how could they bear to kick me out of the family tree! Brother Sun Tu, don't try to lie to me." Wang Xiaoyan just felt that Brother Sun Tu was lying to her.
"You're too naive. You have no idea what a behemoth the Wu'an Marquisate is. You don't think Zhao Lingmeng can just get over it by beating Wang Xiaoyan up, do you? Removing you from the family tree is the ultimate punishment. If Zhao Lingmeng gets upset and sells you to a brothel, no one will say anything."
Sun Tu thought to himself, they are not the only ones who think too highly of themselves!
"Brother, don't always try to boost others' morale and undermine your own prestige. No matter how powerful Zhao Lingmeng's family is, she is still your wife and a member of our Sun family. If you really discipline her, who would dare to say anything?" Sun Yue had long since had enough of this cowardly life. He spared no effort to encourage Sun Tu.
Zhou and Wang Xiaoyan also looked at him expectantly.
At that moment, Sun Tu felt a surge of helplessness. How could these people be so stupid? Just so stupid. Are they blind? They can't see the people huddled together in Yixinyuan. If he dared to entertain such thoughts, he might not even see the sun tomorrow.
"Sun Yue, if you are stupid, just behave yourself, otherwise go back to your hometown." Sun Yue is really fed up with her sister now, who is fanning the flames everywhere every day.
"Mom, look at my brother. He got married and forgot about me." Sun Yue saw that her eldest brother was really angry. Instead of being afraid, she arrogantly asked her mother for protection. Because she knew that her mother had been unhappy with this kind of life for many days.
"Sun Tu, have you grown too independent? You're so mean to your sister every time she says something wrong. Do you still remember when you were little, your sister saved her share of food for you so you could have the energy to study, and she almost fainted from hunger. You're rich now, how can you treat her like this?"
When Zhou mentioned this, she felt extremely aggrieved. For a poor family like theirs to raise a scholar was truly a great achievement. She had finally thought she could enjoy a good life, but not long after, her son despised her and others for being immature. Zhou also didn't understand why, in her country, it was always the daughter-in-law who became the mother-in-law, but here it was all her fault.
"Mom, didn't I tell you before that I am marrying up from my status as Zhao Lingmeng's wife? It's almost like marrying into her family, so what you want will never come true in this lifetime." Sun Tu also knew that his mother and sister had not had an easy time these years, but now that his wife no longer recognized him, what could he do?
When Zhou heard her son say this, she didn't express any understanding. Instead, she felt even more wronged and sobbed, "Husband, why did you leave so early? Open your eyes and see what kind of life I'm living now!"
"Ms. Zhou, if you feel wronged, just go back to your parents' home. Our Sun family can't afford a troublemaker like you."
When Zhou, Sun Tu and others heard the voice, they were startled and looked towards the door in horror.
The Sun family's patriarch walked in aggressively with several clan elders.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Sun Tu immediately stepped forward and saluted, then helped his uncle Sun Dayong and others to sit in the top seat. This was the seat that Zhou immediately gave up as soon as she saw Sun Dayong and others coming in.
