Chapter 29 Sun Tu wants to use the child to plead for mercy
Sun Tu was a little upset at this moment, but he also knew that this was one of the most powerful maids around the lady, and he had no power to do anything about it. He could only say helplessly: "You go down!"
Sun Tu waited until Qiu Nian left, then lingered in front of Zhao Lingmeng's door for almost an incense stick of time. He actually wanted to go in and ask his mother if he could stay, but he didn't have the courage to go in. Instead, he turned around and went into Sun Qijing's room.
As soon as Sun Tu entered, he saw Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming playing with something called a puzzle in the room. Seeing his two sons playing together in harmony, Sun Tu was a little relieved.
"Jing'er, Ming'er, what are you two playing?" Sun Tuxian watched from the door for a while before interrupting.
"Dad!" Sun Qijing shouted happily when he heard Sun Tu's voice. And after Sun Qiming called out to him, he also called out "Dad" normally, but without any emotion.
After all, in Sun Qiming's little heart, Dad belonged to his grandmother, his aunt, and his brother, but not to him or his mother. In the past, when his grandmother bullied him and his mother, Dad never helped us, so Sun Qiming didn't like him. But his mother had taught him to call for help, and Sun Qiming thought to himself that today he would call for help.
Sun Tu didn't notice Sun Qiming's perfunctory attitude, but thought that maybe Sun Qiming was a bit introverted. He was still thinking that if he took Sun Qiming out more often in the future, he would be bolder. So Sun Tu still patted Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming's heads respectively.
"Dad, are you here to play with Jing'er?" Sun Qijing asked and happily went over to hug Sun Tu's thighs.
"No, your great-grandfather is here. I will take you two to meet him." Sun Tu hugged Sun Qijing in his arms and explained while looking at Sun Qiming.
"I'm not going! I want to stay in the yard with my mother." Sun Qiming said immediately after hearing this. He thought to himself, he doesn't want to see any great-grandfather! He just wants to be with his mother.
"Ming'er, your mother agrees that you can go. Just go to meet her, and then have dinner with your great-grandfather at the mansion, and then you two will come back. And your grandmother is passing away tomorrow, so you go to see her." Sun Tu explained patiently when he saw that his second son was resisting going with him.
Although Sun Qiming was young, he knew that leaving meant he wouldn't see her for a long time. Just like every time his grandmothers came and went, they couldn't bully him and his mother. He was happy and asked expectantly, "Is Grandma really leaving tomorrow?"
Sun Tu nodded. Seeing his second son like this, he thought that he was reluctant to let his grandmother go. So, an idea struck him, and he immediately put Sun Qijing on the ground. He looked at the two of them and said, "If your grandmother goes back, you won't see her for a long time. Why don't you two go to your mother and beg her to let your grandmother stay."
The more Sun Tu talked about it, the better he thought it was. He then tried to pull the two brothers to leave, but they didn't move at all.
"What's wrong?" Sun Tu looked at the two kids in front of him in confusion.
"I'm not going. I'm so happy that my grandmother is gone. No one will bully me and my mother anymore." Sun Qiming spoke first, and after he finished speaking, he did not forget to shake off Sun Tu's hand that was holding his.
"Ming'er, did your mother teach you this?" Sun Tu was very surprised to hear such a young child say this.
"I have my own eyes and I can see for myself. Every time my grandmother and aunt bullied me and my mother, you didn't help us. You are bad." Sun Qiming became even more sad as he spoke. He didn't even want his brother anymore. He just ran away with his short legs.
Only Sun Tu and Sun Qijing were left looking at each other. Sun Qijing was also a little helpless: "Dad, if you can't speak, then don't speak. I've been implicated by you."
"Then can you?" Sun Tu looked expectantly at the older boy in front of him.
Seeing his father like this, Sun Qijing immediately distanced himself from the matter: "No, I won't tease my mother!" Just kidding, both the palms and the backs of the hands are made of flesh, and he will not help either side.
"Son! You grew up with your grandmother. Can't you?" Sun Tu looked at his eldest son and wanted to play the victim.
"Dad, wake up. Will grandma be able to live well if she stays here? My mother has the final say in the backyard." Sun Qijing was also a little helpless. Who was the adult and who was the child between them?
"Jing'er, you don't know, your great-grandmother is not a person who is easy to talk to. This time, your grandmother has made such a big mistake. There must be no one to go back and serve her, and we have to take care of your great-grandmother's daily life. Dad is worried that your grandmother can't make it."
Sun Tu didn't know what was wrong with him. He actually told his true feelings to a three-year-old child. Maybe there was really no one who could listen to him.
"Then Dad, are you willing to divorce Mom? Tell me first! I want to follow Mom." Sun Qijing said and looked at his father seriously.
"Ah! Why divorce?" Sun Tu had never considered this option. He had finally gotten married to the Marquis of Wu'an. If they divorced, the marriage would turn into an enmity.
"Then are we going to look for our brother?" Sun Qijing glanced at his father and said nothing more, changing the subject.
"That brat must have gone to look for your mother. Let's go check it out!" Sun Tu thought about it and decided to bring Sun Qiming over to show the tribe. Otherwise, it wouldn't be very good. The third brother could still be said to be young, but if the second brother didn't go, there would definitely be no way to explain it.
"Then hurry up, Dad! That kid Sun Qiming must have gone to complain to Mom. You really ruined my life today." Sun Qijing said as he walked outside, looking impatient.
As soon as Sun Qiming walked out of Sun Qijing's room, he went straight to Zhao Lingmeng's room in a rage. By the time Sun Tu and the others arrived at Zhao Lingmeng's room, Sun Qiming had already finished his complaint.
"Madam, I'm here to take Ming'er to meet the clan leader and others." As soon as Sun Tu entered, he saw Zhao Lingmeng with an expression that said, "I'm not someone to be trifled with." Sun Tu immediately got straight to the point.
Zhao Lingmeng deliberately warned Sun Qiming in front of Sun Tu, and she also meant to tell Sun Tu: "Ming'er, go with your father and brother! Remember what mother told you, don't let Dongmian leave you. If someone bullies you, come back and tell mother, I have plenty of ways to help you vent your anger."
"Madam, you see my mother is going back to the countryside tomorrow. Can you ask the accountant to give me five hundred taels of silver? My mother can't go back without money!" Sun Tu said cautiously, looking at Zhao Lingmeng's face.
"How much did you say?" Zhao Lingmeng was genuinely surprised, thinking to himself, this scumbag really dared to ask for five hundred taels. His annual salary wasn't even that much.
