Chapter 431 Zhao Lingmeng discusses her mother's illness with her elder brother
"Where did you get the news, little sister?" Wu'an Hou Zhao Anping wanted to make a final struggle, hoping that his little sister had only heard it from others.
"I checked my mother's pulse in the palace. She didn't want us to know that she was ill, so..." Zhao Lingmeng was very sad at this moment. After all, when she first came here, her father and mother were really good to her. She had already regarded them as her own parents.
Zhao Anping was like a child caught in the rain when he heard this. The fear in his eyes was so real. "So what should we do now?"
"Aren't I here to discuss this with you? My second brother is not in Yuanjing. What do you think we should do, eldest brother?" Zhao Lingmeng didn't know what to do. Organ dysfunction is a terminal illness in this world.
Zhao Anping sat directly on the chair next to him. After a long silence, he tentatively asked:
"Should we take our mother back to Yuanjing and have the imperial physician there take a look? Or should we find some local doctors to take a look?"
Zhao Anping felt that his mother was fine, but suddenly she became seriously ill. He didn't feel any sense of reality at all. Countless royal conspiracies flashed through his mind.
"Maybe my mother doesn't want to come back! She doesn't want to show her vulnerability in front of her children. She has been strong all her life."
Zhao Lingmeng was also hesitant about whether to reveal the fact that her mother was seriously ill, and didn't know what to do.
Zhao Anping felt that what his younger sister said made sense. Their mother's condition was so serious, but she still didn't want them to know. They couldn't just keep exposing this secret.
"Next time we have a day off, let's take the children to visit our mother. We'll see how the situation plays out then. We'll ask our father for his opinion then."
Zhao Lingmeng didn't have any other options at this point, so she nodded in obedience. They could only wait until their eldest brother was on leave and visit him normally.
In the end, Zhao Lingmeng was not in the mood to stay in Wu'an Marquis Mansion for dinner. Seeing that everything had been discussed, she took her people back directly.
Wu'an Hou Zhao Anping was not in the mood to keep his younger sister for dinner, so he asked his personal attendant to see her off while he went to his study.
Besides being heartbroken, he also had to consider the future of the Wu'an Marquisate. If anything happened to his mother, he would have to mourn. He was not an important figure in the court at the moment, and the emperor was unlikely to issue an edict to deprive him of his love, so he still had to have a plan and a way out.
After Zhao Lingmeng returned home, she rummaged through the box of pills that Dr. Ma had left for her. She searched through them all but found only one bottle of painkiller. There was no cure, but she wasn't disappointed.
After all, she had already had an idea in mind before she started looking, and she had searched seriously, just hoping for a lucky break. But Zhao Lingmeng was quite satisfied that she had found a bottle of painkiller!
If the outcome cannot be changed, then the mother can suffer less in the process, and Zhao Lingmeng will feel better.
Over the next few days, Zhao Lingmeng had people search the warehouse for any medicinal herbs suitable for recuperation and nourishment, anxiously awaiting her eldest brother's vacation.
Everyone in the mansion had sensed Zhao Lingmeng's low mood these past few days, and everyone assumed she was unhappy about her sudden wedding. Even the three brothers, Zhao Houjing, had calmed down considerably.
Zhao Houming even moved back home from the academy, taking a leave of absence to study at home. Every day, he would bring his books to Zhao Lingmeng's side. He didn't bother his mother with any chores; no matter what Zhao Lingmeng was doing, he would read beside her.
When Zhao Lingmeng tried to persuade him several times without any effect, she just let him go.
Zhao Houming was like this because he really felt that his mother was very sad, but he didn't show it. He just wanted to be with his mother nearby.
Zhao Houyang also wanted to quit the academy, but was discouraged by Zhao Lingmeng's words, "Mom wants to see you take the Tongsheng exam." The reason why his second brother could do this was because that guy was not a human being. He could learn well even if he studied on his own, so Mom allowed it.
He was different from his eldest brother. Without hard work, his academic performance not only did not improve, but also declined. Every time Zhao Houyang thought about this, he decided to unilaterally dislike his second brother for a while.
The days with someone by your side do indeed pass faster. Time soon arrived on Zhao Anping's day off.
Zhao Lingmeng and Zhao Anping both tacitly agreed not to bring the child, but when Zhao Lingmeng got on the carriage, she found that Zhao Houming was already waiting there.
Zhao Lingmeng found it both funny and touching.
Finally, Zhao Lingmeng could only jokingly say: "You are so old, why are you still in a hurry?"
"I haven't visited my grandmother for a long time. She must miss me!" Zhao Houming pulled Zhao Lingmeng's sleeve and shook it coquettishly.
In the end, Zhao Lingmeng could only grant Zhao Houming's wish, but she still gave him a few more instructions out of concern, "Your grandmother isn't in good health right now, but she doesn't want us to worry about it, so you have to strike a balance between the two. You don't want to tire her out, but you also can't let her see it. Can you handle this?"
"I can do it, mother, don't worry. So you're unhappy because grandma is sick! Don't worry, grandma has always been in good health, and she will get better this time too."
Originally, Zhao Houming was very worried that something had happened to his mother, which was why he was in a bad mood. But when he heard that his grandmother was sick, he actually felt a sense of relief.
Zhao Houming thought to himself, maybe he wasn't a good person after all! Deep down, he still had that person's cold-blooded nature. He just wanted his mother to be okay. His world was small and couldn't accommodate too many people.
Zhao Houming was distracted for a moment, so he didn't hear Zhao Lingmeng's murmur, "It won't get better."
Zhao Houming knew that his mother was in a bad mood because she was worried about her grandmother, so he did not make any jokes in the carriage. Instead, he just sat there with his mother in a daze.
When Zhao Ling woke up from the dream, her elder brother Zhao Anping was already waiting for her outside her mother Wei's farm.
As soon as Zhao Anping saw his younger sister's carriage arrive, he immediately went to meet it. But when he saw Zhao Houming getting off the carriage, he was stunned for a moment.
When Zhao Houming saw Wu'an Marquis Zhao Anping, he did not immediately salute. Instead, he turned around and helped Zhao Lingmeng down, then solemnly saluted Zhao Anping.
"Meet uncle!"
"Oh, Ming'er is here! I haven't seen our little boy give birth for a long time." Zhao Anping said as he used one hand to support Zhao Houming steadily.
"Uncle, you are just kidding me! Be careful or I will tell my grandmother about this!" Zhao Houming said with a smile, then he personally supported Zhao Lingmeng and walked into the farm.
Zhao Lingmeng felt that he was in his prime and not sick, so there was no need for anyone to support him.
She protested softly a few times, but Zhao Houming always had a bunch of twisted ideas waiting for her, so in the end she had no choice but to let Zhao Houming support her.
