Chapter 53 Sun Qijing Meets Sun Yue
Qiuyue watched as her master bullied the Third Young Master again. She wanted to stop him but couldn't, so she could only look away silently before speaking:
"Just now, I saw the eldest young master and the second young master arguing at the eldest young master's door. After the second young master left, the eldest young master stood at the door for a long time before going into the house. Finally, I heard the eldest young master crying inside from outside."
When Zhao Lingmeng heard Qiuyue say this, she looked up curiously and asked, "Did you hear what they were arguing about?"
"I heard the eldest young master ask the second young master if he wanted to go see aunt together, and then the two of them started arguing quietly. Their voices were too low for me to hear clearly. But judging from their expressions, they both looked very unhappy, and then the second young master left first."
"Is that so? I know why. As long as the two of them don't come to me to argue, I don't have to care about them. Children are always good at times and bad at times. Let them solve their problems by themselves." Zhao Lingmeng looked calm on the surface, but he sighed heavily in his heart. He could only complain silently that raising a child is really difficult.
"Yes, Princess!" Qiuyue responded readily. After all, she had never raised children, let alone two little ones with such strong personalities. Whatever the master said was the truth.
After Qiuyue agreed, Zhao Lingmeng ignored her and played with the third brother by herself. It was mainly Zhao Lingmeng who played with the third brother.
Qiuyue stood by and watched with relish for a while before she said, "Princess, is it possible that the Third Young Master wanted to flip over?"
Zhao Lingmeng casually replied, "Maybe, but it's fun this way! Look at him kicking around on his back, like a tortoise. And when he's grinning like that, he looks even more like one."
"No wonder the princess always likes to turn the third young master back. It turns out that the princess is happy to see it, but he is still a child. Let him turn over if he wants!" Qiuyue looked at Sun Qiyang howling, but couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, so she spoke for him.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Qiuyue's expression of pity and burst out laughing.
"You should find someone you like quickly, start a family, and have a child to play with. It's a lot of fun."
"Princess, I remembered that I haven't given instructions for dinner in the kitchen yet. I'll go down and arrange it first. Now I'm taking my leave!" Qiuyue said this in one breath, bowed, and slipped away quickly, as if there was a wolf chasing her.
"He runs so fast." Zhao Lingmeng could only mutter to Sun Qiyang.
Sun Qiyang's response to Zhao Lingmeng was a toothless smile, as if he had no worries.
Seeing this, Zhao Lingmeng couldn't help but touch Sun Qiyang's face with her hand. The smooth and tender face felt so good.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Sun Qiyang at this moment, and only one thought came to his mind: roast suckling pig must be delicious, why not have it tomorrow? Thinking of this, Zhao Lingmeng could only sigh again. He would not be able to eat roast suckling pig tomorrow. Tomorrow he had to return to Wu'an Hou Mansion to witness Zhao Shuiyun's revision of the family tree.
Zhao Lingmeng could only sigh silently again. Her food was so delicious!
On the other side, Sun Qijing had already arrived at Sun Yue's yard. As soon as Sun Qijing entered, Sun Yue saw him, and immediately came up to him, holding Sun Qijing's hand, "Jing'er, you are here to see your aunt." The excitement in his tone could not be concealed.
Sun Qijing let Sun Yue hold her hand, bowed slightly and said, "Jing'er greets Auntie!"
"Get up quickly, get up quickly!" Sun Yue held Sun Qijing's hand, reluctant to let go, and just held his hand and sat down on the stool next to him.
The people serving Sun Yue were also very considerate and put out cakes and other things.
"Jing'er, take whatever you like to eat." Sun Yue felt happy to see a relative when she saw Sun Qijing. She was almost suffocating in the mansion these days, unable to go out. Every day she could only talk to the two people who served her, and occasionally her brother Sun Tu would come to see her.
Seeing his aunt so enthusiastic, Sun Qijing felt a little uneasy. He quickly spoke to distract his aunt and asked, "Aunt, how have you been lately?"
When talking about this, Sun Yue became a little depressed. "It's not bad! I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't have to work. I get 10 taels of silver every month. But I can't go out, and every day is a bit boring."
Sun Yue said this, and Sun Qijing understood. In the past, his mother did not argue with his grandmother and aunt, so when Sun Yue wanted to go shopping, he would go to the account office to withdraw money. Now that his mother has become stronger, these things are no longer the case.
"Auntie, would you like to learn embroidery to pass the time?"
"Can I learn embroidery?" Sun Yue was truly bored. It would be nice if she could find something to do to pass the time. Besides, her sister-in-law had been crowned a princess, and now even her brother was a gigolo, so she didn't dare bother with anything else.
"Aunt, if you want to learn, I will ask for you when the time comes. It's good to have a skill." Sun Qijing was already thinking about whether to tell his father or his mother.
Sun Yue's eyes reddened upon hearing this, and she hugged Sun Qijing close to her. "Our Jing'er has grown up and knows how to think about her aunt. But if your mother doesn't allow it, forget it. Don't let your mother vent her anger on you."
"Aunt, don't worry! Mother won't be angry. She doesn't care much about you, Grandmother, or even Father right now. If you don't provoke her, she won't make things difficult for you."
Sun Qijing was clever, and he clearly saw his mother's shortcomings. He even felt that his mother didn't care whether the three brothers would respect her in the future. He felt that she could live alone at any time and still be happy. He also had a feeling that his second brother knew this, which was why he hated his aunt, grandmother, and even his father so much. He hated them for driving his mother to lose all hope in them.
If Zhao Lingmeng knew that her adopted eldest son thought this way about her, she would also silently say, "You think too much. I am simply rich and powerful, so I don't have to worry about my son's mood."
"Your mother doesn't care about your father anymore?" Sun Yue looked at Sun Qijing a little anxiously.
Sun Qijing nodded slowly under Sun Yue's anxious gaze.
"This..." Sun Yue paced around the room anxiously. She was really worried about her brother. After all, her life and property depended on her brother Sun Tu. If her sister-in-law didn't even care about her brother, what would she do?
"Aunt, please stop turning around. We shouldn't worry about Dad and Mom's affairs. It's useless for us to worry. Just let them take care of themselves! Don't worry, Aunt. When I pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, I will support you."
Looking at his sensible nephew, Sun Yue suddenly felt that he and his mother had made huge mistakes in the past few years.
