Chapter 399: Zhao Lingmeng reiterates the separation of the family after marriage
"Well, get up! I'm not afraid of a next time. I'm still young and can still lift a stick. Even if I'm not young anymore, I can still support someone who can lift a stick."
Although Zhao Lingmeng hadn't seen this child for more than a month, she was not angry. But now, when she looked at this guy, she felt like beating him up.
When Zhao Houjing heard his mother say this, he felt a chill on his back and felt a bit of pain in the wound that had just healed. But he still stood up obediently and sat next to Zhao Houming.
Zhao Houjing glared at the three younger brothers who were watching the fun so early, and said helplessly, "It's hard for you to get up so early to watch the fun!"
Zhao Houyang didn't even want to pretend anymore when he faced Zhao Houjing, so he just went straight to him and said, "Don't be polite, big brother. We are all family, it would be a shame not to watch this lively event!"
Zhao Lingmeng reached out and touched Zhao Houyang's head, trying to take sides: "In a crowded place, you should give your elder brother some face."
When Zhao Houyang heard his mother say this, his eyes narrowed with smiles. What his mother meant was that no matter how he and his elder brother quarreled in private, he would not care. He immediately responded happily: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely give my elder brother face in public."
"Mom" Only Zhao Houjing called out "Mom" unhappily.
Zhao Lingmeng was not going to tolerate him! She said bluntly, "I've always thought I treated everyone equally, but this time you and your brother had a fight. I wouldn't have said anything. It's normal for brothers to have some conflicts. But you actually wanted to frame your brother and beat you up like that for no reason. That's really mean of you."
It was obviously because of your harsh words that your brother quarreled with you, and in the end you were the first to hit him. You didn't even give in when you beat your brother. How could you come to me without treating all these injuries?
If you don’t act like a big brother, don’t expect others to act like a little brother.”
Zhao Houjing could only rub his nose awkwardly after being confronted so openly by Zhao Lingmeng. He also wanted to know what he was thinking at the time.
Such a crude method could be used. Zhao Houjing felt that it must have been during the time he was in his good father's house. He saw those people in the mansion using all kinds of tricks to compete for favor, and he was led astray by them.
He could only sigh in his heart, "It's easy to learn bad things, but it's hard to learn good things!"
But at this moment, he still smiled awkwardly and apologized to Zhao Houyang. Zhao Houyang didn't want to forgive this elder brother. He felt that it was very good to get along with him without any confrontation. He could just say whatever he wanted.
However, his second brother Zhao Houming and cousin Yang Chengchen took turns to persuade him, so he could only reluctantly say that he forgave him for the sake of their face.
Zhao Lingmeng saw that the matter was apparently resolved, so she quickly ordered dinner. She was hungry. "Okay, let's have breakfast first! After breakfast, you all go back and pack your things. We will return to Yuanjing tomorrow."
After hearing what Zhao Lingmeng said, Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming reacted quite normally. The emperor's 55th birthday was coming soon, and their mother was going back to Yuanjing, so it was particularly normal.
Yang Chengchen and Zhao Houyang were the more surprised. They had been playing at the farm the entire time and thought their aunt would only take them to study when the crucial stage came. Why did they have to go back?
They looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes, but they didn't ask any questions. Instead, they followed Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming's instructions.
They thought they would ask Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming after they left, so they happily ate breakfast together.
Zhao Lingmeng waited until everyone had almost finished eating before casually saying, "It just so happens that you three brothers are here, so let me say it again. The Princess's Mansion was bestowed by the emperor, and there's no such thing as inheritance. When I die, the Princess's Mansion will be taken back."
I've bought mansions for the three of you. They're all in Yuanjing City, in similar locations, and all have large courtyards with three entrances. Once you're married, you can move out and live there on your own.
I've already prepared the money you need to settle down. The rest is my pension, so don't worry about it; I'll definitely spend it all before I die."
As soon as Zhao Lingmeng said this, Zhao Houming and Zhao Houyang glared at Zhao Houjing. Yang Chengchen, who was watching the fun, also widened his eyes. He had just heard someone divide all the sons and leave no one behind.
Zhao Houjing hurriedly explained that he didn't want his mother to find another prince consort because he was afraid that if his mother wanted to have another child, he would not want his other brothers and sisters. But he really didn't want to covet his mother's property, although he was a little stingy now.
"Mom, I'm just saying that. I really don't mean it. Although I really don't want you to find another prince consort, I really don't mean to covet your things."
"Mom knows, and I don't want to give it to you. It's useless for anyone to think about it. In fact, I said this when you were very young, but you didn't take it to heart.
And now that you're married, just live a good life with your wives and occasionally come back to the Princess's Mansion for a few days."
Zhao Lingmeng now talks about looking forward to that kind of day. She actually doesn't like the hustle and bustle of life, let alone raising so many children. Fortunately, they have finally grown up.
"Fortunately, I'm still young. Mom, can I apply to get married later?" Zhao Houyang didn't object to this. A truly filial person would visit his parents often even if they lived far away. That was also filial piety. What would happen if an unfilial person lived together?
"Whatever you want!" Zhao Lingmeng was someone who was urged to get married in her previous life, so she had no objection to this.
Seeing that his mother agreed with Zhao Houyang's idea, Zhao Houming quickly said, "Mom, I actually want to establish my career first and then start a family. I'm not in a hurry. You can show it to my eldest brother first! He's more anxious."
This damn fake brotherhood just fades away so quickly.
Zhao Houjing was stunned by the actions of his two younger brothers and murmured, "Mom, I also..."
"No, you're anxious!" Zhao Houming and Zhao Houyang were in perfect harmony now, interrupting Zhao Houjing directly. They were both thinking, "Big brother is so against mother finding a prince consort. What will he do if mother gets married? He should get married and move out soon!"
Isn’t there a saying that things smell good from a distance, but smell bad up close? Maybe he’ll accept it by then!
Although Zhao Lingmeng wanted to kick the three children out as soon as possible and live a quiet life, she wouldn't act immediately. In her previous life, the three of them would still be elementary school students! So don't do this evil thing. At least wait until they are in high school!
"Okay, it's still early anyway! At least wait until you guys have finished your studies! Otherwise, the girl will be left with nothing if she marries you!"
Zhao Houjing was relieved after hearing what his mother said. He was still a long way from achieving academic success! He was not even a scholar yet.
