Chapter 32 Sun Qijing's Sadness
"Are you my son or Zhao Lingmeng's son? Why do you keep speaking for her? Mom is going to the countryside soon, what can she do to me? What's the harm in being tough just for once?"
After Zhou finished speaking, she pushed Sun Qijing in her arms in front of Sun Tu again, "This is your eldest son. You are his father, can't you make a decision for him to stay or go? This is the only thing I have in mind, can't you satisfy me once? Just think of it as me begging you, or I will kneel down for you."
After Zhou finished speaking, she was about to kneel down. Although she looked very sad on the surface, she knew in her heart that her plan was going to succeed. She thought she understood her son well.
Sure enough, when Sun Tu saw that Zhou was really going to kneel down to him, he felt that it was simply killing his heart. He immediately supported Zhou and said with difficulty: "Mother, your son promises you, I promise you."
At this moment, no one cared about Sun Qijing's thoughts, and no one asked him if he was willing to go back with them. At this moment, Sun Qijing was sad. His father and grandmother did not consider his opinions or his future at all. They only cared about themselves.
"Dad, grandma, I don't want to go back." Sun Qijing interrupted the argument between Sun Tu and Zhou and spoke up for himself.
Sun Tu didn't dare to look into his son's eyes at this moment. He just touched his head and tried to comfort his son.
Sun Qijing saw his father's action and knew that he had sold him out. He angrily brushed off Sun Tu's hand and looked at his grandmother, who had loved him since childhood, with a stubborn look. She had raised his father and should know how difficult it was to pass the exam. Didn't his grandmother think about her own future?
At this point in the play, Sun Qiming was the only one who was happy. He felt a sense of relief when he saw his brother being dragged into this situation by the so-called grandmother and father.
He still held a grudge. Just now, when his grandmother scolded his mother, his brother hadn't said a word on her behalf. Sun Qiming, so young, was doubting his brother. Could his mother still raise him well? He was afraid his mother would be upset.
At this moment, Sun Qiming made up his mind that he would grow up well and provide for his mother in her old age and become her support. Sun Qiming looked at his brother who was entangled with his father and grandmother, and felt that he, his brother, and his mother could not be relied upon.
Sun Yue, standing nearby, watched as her mother, brother, and nephew began to engage in new activities. She knew she should help her mother, but she wanted to stay so badly that her instincts told her not to participate in today's events, or else she would definitely have to go back to the countryside with her uncle tomorrow. So, she took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and slipped away.
Zhou also saw Sun Qijing's look, but she thought about her future and turned her head away. In this turn, Zhou didn't know what she was about to lose.
Sun Qijing saw his grandmother turned her head away, and without hesitation, he rushed to Dongshui. Dongshui was also smart and quickly stepped forward to pick up the eldest young master. Then he walked outside, and Dongshui immediately chased after him, holding the second young master.
"Jing'er, come back. How dare you, a slut, carry my Jing'er away. Why don't you chase after her?"
Zhou watched Sun Qiming and Sun Qijing being carried away, and she was furious for a moment. This was her last chance to show off her power. Seeing that the servants didn't move, Zhou started to curse and get up to chase them.
Sun Tu immediately pulled Zhou aside. He knew that the maids with the surname Dong, who were associated with Zhao Lingmeng, were skilled in martial arts. Therefore, whenever he visited her, there would always be one or two maids with the surname Dong waiting on Zhao Lingmeng's side. This showed just how deep the rift between them had become.
Zhou turned her head and looked at Sun Tu with a look of disbelief and madness. She couldn't believe that her son had just promised her and then went back on his word.
"Mother, it's useless. The servants around them are all martial artists. If Jing'er is willing, there is still a chance. The facts prove that Jing'er is unwilling. So even if we catch up, we can't win. Besides, the indentures of the maids in this mansion are in the hands of Madam. They can't help us. Forget it!"
After Sun Tu finished speaking, he sat down on the ground in despair. He must have done something stupid again this time. He probably couldn't forgive his own son either! But Zhou was his biological mother. How could he bear it if she knelt down to him? At this moment, Sun Tu actually felt like his mother could finally leave tomorrow.
Zhou was completely desperate. Yixinyuan was now like an iron barrel, and there was no way she could get in. Furthermore, the clan leader, Sun Dayong, was still living there. If she made too much noise and alerted the clan leader and his family, Zhou would be divorced and sent back to the Zhou family. Then, she would be completely wiped out.
Moreover, I was just imagining the benefits of success and had not thought about the consequences of doing so. Now that I have calmed down, I am a little worried.
"Brother Tu, Zhao Lingmeng won't take revenge, right? I haven't accomplished anything!" Zhou held Sun Tu's hand and looked at him expectantly.
Sun Tu felt indescribably tired at the moment, but considering that his mother was going back to her hometown tomorrow, he couldn't say anything harsh.
He could only comfort Zhou and said, "Mom, it's okay. You can rest first! I will take care of the rest!"
"Then remember to prepare some banknotes for mother tomorrow, a lot of them, otherwise she will have a hard time back in the countryside." Seeing that Sun Tu said he would handle it, Zhou thought the matter was over. So she made new demands.
Sun Tu rubbed his brows. Too many things had happened that day, so many that it gave him a headache. But he still helped Zhou sit up on the bed and said, "Mother, I know it's not easy for you to raise us two siblings alone. Now that I'm grown up, I won't refuse to protect you.
If there's anything I can't protect, please bear with me, mother. After all, your son is only this capable. He's not the omnipotent son you imagined him to be."
Sun Tu wiped his tears and patted Zhou's hand gently. "Mom, you should get some rest first! I will prepare some banknotes tomorrow and I guarantee you a good life in the countryside."
After Sun Tu finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. He planned to go to Yixinyuan to see his son first, and then comfort Zhao Lingmeng so that there would be no more trouble tomorrow.
But at this moment, Zhao Lingmeng also knew what had happened. She didn't get angry, but just hugged Sun Qijing and said, "It's okay, you still have mother! Rest up tonight! Everything will be over tomorrow."
Sun Qijing didn't say anything bad about his father and grandmother, he just rubbed against Zhao Lingmeng's arms.
