Chapter 449: Madam Fan’s Good Thoughts
Madam Fan waited until Zhao Lingmeng and his group left before glaring at Mr. Fan. "Everyone's gone, and you look at that face of yours, what a grin it is."
"Oh, if you have the guts, why didn't you act sarcastic just now? Be careful or you'll end up in jail." Old Master Fan was extremely happy at this moment. It was time for someone to come and teach his old wife a lesson. His sons in the mansion had told him this many times.
Mrs. Fan would not be easily fooled! "How is that possible? I am Fan Yong's biological mother."
Old Master Fan was determined to appease his wife: "That man is willing to give up even the prince consort. If you do that, your son will be in trouble. The title you are so proud of will also be stripped away. If he can even deal with the prince consort, what about his mother?"
Mrs. Fan: "Really?"
"What do you think? The eldest princess is the monarch and we are the subjects." Old Master Fan knew that since his wife asked this, it was correct.
Madam Fan took a deep breath and replied calmly, "I understand. I will pay attention next time. I'm just speaking up for Yong'er!"
Old Master Fan didn't care about these things. They had many sons and even more grandchildren, so he didn't care that Fan Yong insisted on having a son.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Just enjoy them and don't make any trouble. Otherwise, you will only harm your son."
"What do you think about adopting a son for Yong'er?" Old Madam Fan was determined not to give up.
"Nonsense, Fan Yong already has three sons, who does he want?" Old Master Fan was really angry. His wife was afraid that his son's life would be hard.
When Mrs. Fan saw that Mr. Fan was so angry, she not only did not feel that she was wrong, but also felt that Mr. Fan no longer loved his son, and she was angry too.
"He's not our Yong'er's biological child, so how can he be considered Yong'er's son? Since the eldest princess doesn't want to have another child, we can adopt one from among his brothers' children. He will inherit his title and show filial piety to him."
The more Mrs. Fan spoke, the more she felt that this was true. She was eager to catch up and call Fan Yong and Zhao Lingmeng back to talk about this matter.
When the other wives present heard this, their eyes turned. Who wouldn’t be tempted to get a title for free?
Mr. Fan… “You evil villain, if I hear you say something like that again, just go back to your parents’ home. My Fan family can’t afford a big Buddha like you.”
Old Master Fan pointed at his wife and threatened her, then looked at his sons and daughters-in-law. "If any of you dare to mess around, I will exterminate your clan." After saying this, Old Master Fan didn't bother to look at these arrogant people, and simply walked away with a flick of his sleeve.
It's impossible to say that Master Fan didn't have this idea in his mind, but he's not stupid! Princess Funing has had such a high status over the years, and the current Crown Prince is also close to Princess Funing. This must be a few generations of wealth.
It's really not worth it to offend Princess Funing for a title. Maybe the princess doesn't care about the title, but since we live in the same house, we can't be so clear-cut. If you scheme against others, why would they intervene when the Fan family encounters problems?
Most importantly, his youngest son was not someone he could easily control. If he didn't bring it up himself, the more they did, the more outrageous their mistakes would become.
Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong were unaware of the Fan family's thoughts. After returning home, they each went back to their own tasks. Zhao Houjing and the other two took turns taking leave to accompany Zhao Lingmeng to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to visit her grandmother, while Fan Yong took over the camp outside the capital.
Most of the time he lived directly in the camp, eating and living with the soldiers. After all, a new officer has to start with three fires! He only came back when he had a day off.
Even if Old Madam Fan wanted to make trouble, she couldn't find anyone. She really didn't dare to go directly to Princess Funing. After all, Princess Funing's reputation in Yuanjing City was not someone to be trifled with.
Three more months passed like this. One day, when Zhao Lingmeng went to visit her mother, she was unusually awake. Usually, at this time of year, when Zhao Lingmeng visited, her mother would be asleep.
And the time she was awake was getting shorter and shorter, but today, not only did my mother not fall asleep, she also looked very energetic.
Zhao Houyang happened to be accompanying Zhao Lingmeng today. He had seen many people die in his previous life. So when he noticed his grandmother's behavior after paying his respects, he felt a pang in his heart, and had a bad feeling.
Zhao Houyang followed Zhao Lingmeng and sat beside Madam Wei's bed. He asked with concern, "Grandma, how are you feeling today?"
Madam Wei had met many people over the years, so she could certainly tell. Her daughter's eldest son might not be reliable in the future, but fortunately, the two younger ones seemed fine for now.
So she took Zhao Houyang's hand and told him: "Seeing our Yang'er, all diseases are cured. Good boy, don't worry about grandma, you must study hard and support your mother in the future."
Zhao Houyang listened to his grandmother's instructions and his eyes reddened unconsciously: "Grandma, don't worry, my second brother and I won't let anyone bully Mom."
"Our Yang'er is a man now, why is he still crying?" Old Madam Wei took Zhao Houyang's hand and patted it gently, signaling him not to be afraid. She knew that this clever child had guessed it.
Madam Wei looked at her daughter who was watching the excitement nearby, and she became even more worried about her daughter. Could she really live to old age in peace if she was so ignorant and unconscious?
It wasn't that Zhao Lingmeng was careless, but she had never seen the state of a loved one before they fell ill and passed away in her two lifetimes. So for a moment, she didn't think about the last moments of life mentioned in the book.
Otherwise, Zhao Lingmeng would definitely not be able to remain so calm, so sometimes ignorance is a kind of happiness.
"Good girl, go down and play with your cousins first. Grandma will talk to your mother." Mrs. Wei still wanted to talk to her daughter alone at this moment. There would probably be no chance to do that in the future!
Zhao Houyang bowed to Madam Wei and Zhao Lingmeng, then retreated quickly.
Madam Wei waited until Zhao Houyang left before she pretended to ask casually, "What's wrong with Jing'er? Why does it seem like she's changed her temperament?"
Zhao Ling dreamed that her mother looked like she wanted to chat with her. She moved a small stool and sat down in front of Madam Wei. She pressed the quilt beside her and then explained, "It's not that his personality has changed! He's still the same person he used to be in front of his father. I've tried some ways to change it over the years, but I haven't been able to change it."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wei frowned even more, "Then what do you plan to do?" Mrs. Wei was afraid that her daughter would be soft-hearted. If she didn't teach this selfish child well, what would happen in the future?
"Let's wait until he gets married! Then we can divide him up! He can't inherit my title, so it doesn't really matter whether he's the eldest son or not, or whether he's around or not."
Zhao Lingmeng said this very casually. After all, she had thought of it a long time ago.
