Chapter 281 Zhao Anping's Eight Hundred Thoughts
Zhao Anping still explained to Zhao Lingmeng solemnly: "I am just chatting with you. I will not let the Wu'an Marquis Mansion get involved in such a deadly matter. The Wu'an Marquis will always be loyal to His Majesty."
Zhao Lingmeng was speechless when she saw Zhao Anping's passionate speech in front of her. "Mind your own business, don't let your cleverness lead you astray."
"It's you. You never give me face when you're talking to me. It's been like this since we were little!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Lingmeng wasn't shy. "You've always acted like you had me in your hands since we were little. Don't you hate me? We just had a falling out last time, and now you're coming over here again as if nothing happened."
"Siblings don't hold grudges overnight. When they're angry and arguing, everyone says mean things! I don't take it to heart, so why are you fussing about it?"
Zhao Lingmeng was speechless and rolled her eyes uncontrollably. "You're even thicker-skinned than the wall crook."
Zhao Anping didn't care about this at all. In his heart, his younger sister had always been a bad talker since she was little, and everyone was deceived by her appearance. He didn't intend to take it to heart at all, and just ate the snacks on the table.
Zhao Lingmeng was about to say something when she heard the sound of greetings outside. Zhao Houyang had arrived. She swallowed her words back. She rummaged around in the pot with her chopsticks, looking bored and wanting to eat but not wanting to.
Zhao Houyang bowed immediately upon entering, having obviously heard that Marquis Wu'an was also here. "Meet mother, meet uncle."
"Get up! Why are you back so late today?" Zhao Lingmeng was just asking as a routine question. She was worried that something might have happened to him in the academy and that he was bullied at school.
"Don't worry, mother. I just asked the teacher a few more questions, so I'm a little late."
Seeing that the mother and son were talking for a long time, Zhao Anping picked up Zhao Houyang and put him on the chair next to him, "Let's eat and talk!"
Zhao Houyang was suddenly shocked by his uncle's behavior. His face flushed red and he could only respond softly, "Yeah."
Zhao Lingmeng also used the serving chopsticks to pick up some meat for him, "Eat quickly!"
Zhao Anping was full by now, so he chatted with Zhao Lingmeng. The two of them tacitly accompanied Zhao Houyang for dinner.
Zhao Houyang had come in a hurry because he was afraid that his uncle would make some difficult request and upset his mother. But now, as he ate, he glanced at the two of them and felt that they seemed to be quite harmonious.
He had a big question mark in his little head, but seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was okay, he put all the messy thoughts in his mind behind him. He was also really hungry, and planned to observe carefully after finishing his meal.
Of course, Zhao Lingmeng and Zhao Anping also noticed his little action. Zhao Lingmeng felt that this little guy was not very old, but he was worried about a lot of things, which made her feel very happy.
Zhao Anping nodded silently in his heart. His younger sister had indeed raised these sons well! Even Zhao Zhimo and Yang Chengchen, who had been taught by her, had grown up to be extremely outstanding.
He could only sigh in his heart. It was a pity for Fu'er that he was delayed by Jin.
"Yang'er, come and play at your uncle's house when you have time! Your uncle has a little brother named Fu'er, who is just over a year younger than you."
Zhao Houyang touched his forehead pretending to be naive and grinned: "Uncle, I only like to play with children older than me. I think those younger than me are a bit childish. But when mother goes to your house, I will go with her. Don't dislike me when the time comes, uncle."
"Of course she won't mind. If your mother doesn't have time to go to your uncle's, you can go too!" Zhao Anping was still a little unwilling. He felt that if Fu'er could play well with Yang'er, his younger sister would definitely not say anything and would not hesitate to take care of him.
Zhao Houyang knew that his uncle would never come to his house for no reason, but he was not a child who could be easily fooled: "Oh, my two brothers are not at home, I want to stay at home with mom."
"Alright, big brother, don't go too far!" Zhao Lingmeng was deeply displeased with this blatant scheming. This big brother always felt that because of their blood relationship, he wouldn't really let her go. She really wouldn't let him go, and he really had her in his clutches, which made Zhao Lingmeng a little angry.
Zhao Anping didn't feel embarrassed at all about being seen through by his younger sister. He even sighed in a pretentious manner, "Alas, what can parents do?"
"Go back quickly! I get angry just looking at you." Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to maintain any superficial harmony now. She almost said, "Get out!"
Seeing that his younger sister was on the verge of getting angry, Zhao Anping stood up with a serious expression. After all, today's goal had been basically achieved. "Then I'll be leaving. If you miss me, remember to come to Wu'an Hou to see me."
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Zhao Anping, who was so ungrateful that he got the advantage, and wrote a list on the spot and handed it to Zhao Anping, saying with a smile: "Brother, remember to send Mo'er and these treasures here together. Goodbye!"
Zhao Anping glanced at the list in his hand after hearing this. Wow, these were all rare treasures from his private vault. The kind that he normally wouldn't even bother to look at.
"How do you know I have these things?" Zhao Anping looked at Zhao Lingmeng in surprise, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
Zhao Lingmeng leaned back in her chair proudly. "Give me the jade pendant on your waist, and I'll tell you. How about that?"
Zhao Anping could only helplessly pull off the jade pendant from his waist and throw it directly into Zhao Lingmeng's arms: "You really know what you are talking about!"
Although Zhao Anping was reluctant to spend a jade pendant to buy such news, he was really curious!
Zhao Lingmeng played with the jade pendant in his hand, thinking that the old marquis's mansion had so many good things! Zhao Lingmeng casually replied, "My father told me! He wrote me a letter specifically saying that if you make me angry, I should move your private vault."
However, this news is absolutely true. It was really what the old Marquis Zhao wrote to Zhao Lingmeng. He was also afraid that the brother and sister would really fight to the death.
"As expected, father is always afraid of a traitor in everything. He actually..." Zhao Anping decided to go back and write a letter to his father to cry about it. How could he be so biased!
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Zhao Anping's bad mood, and her mood improved. She waved to him happily, "Goodbye, big brother. Don't forget the treasure I want!"
The only answer she got was Zhao Anping's quickly departing figure. He was afraid that if he didn't leave, all the treasures in the mansion would end up in his younger sister's arms.
Zhao Houyang looked at his uncle's back as he quickly left. He looked thoughtful and thought that he might have discovered his uncle's weakness.
