Chapter 83 Zhao Lingmeng plans to divorce her husband
After Jiang Cheng sent Qian Yong away, Sun Tu stared at the rooftop, thinking about the possibility of being selected for a posting. The more he thought about it, the better it seemed. It seemed his relationship with that vicious woman, Zhao Lingmeng, could never be restored, and Zhao Lingmeng had even been granted the title of Princess, a title with real power.
There was no future for him to continue staying in Yuanjing. As for cultivating a relationship with the child, Sun Qijing had been raised by his mother and treated him well, so there must be some affection. Sun Qiming looked like an ungrateful person who could never be tamed, so he didn't hold out much hope.
As for the youngest, he's still young and can't tell much. He won't be that old by the time I come back from my years abroad, so there's still time to develop a relationship with him.
The point was, after being exiled, he could secretly take his mother to his post and enjoy a comfortable life there. Then, he could ask Wang Xiaoyi if she was married. If not, he'd want to know if she was pregnant that time. If she was, he wouldn't have to rely on Zhao Lingmeng, that vicious woman's son. And right now, his life was like a monk's. He wouldn't dare mess around until he was outside the Marquis of Wu'an's sphere of influence.
In short, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this path was very good. As for the previous agreement between him and Zhao Lingmeng, as long as his letter of appointment came down, what could the princess do?
But asking for a transfer would draw too much attention, so he needed to rest and recuperate during this period, letting that vicious woman Zhao Lingmeng relax her guard. Then he would pack up and take his mother and the others to take up his new post and live a good life. The more he thought about it, the better it seemed. Being a county magistrate, in charge of a county, with the final say, how comfortable it would be!
The more Sun Tu thought about it, the happier he became. He couldn't wait for that moment to arrive. When he was in a good mood, he could even eat a little more at dinner.
After Zhao Lingmeng finished her dinner, she played with the Sun Qijing brothers for a while. When they were tired and went to sleep, Zhao Lingmeng called Qiuyue in to answer her questions.
"Princess, the master's evaluation results are out today, and they are only average. I have found out that the master was not in a hurry because the Marquis of Wu'an promised to help him greet his superiors. It seems that our prince did not go."
"Well, my eldest brother is the most treacherous. How could he possibly use connections for a guy like Sun Tu? Dad is the only one who thinks he's honest and is always worried that he can't support the Marquisate. He's always with him when there's something important to do, and always reminds him. Dad doesn't know that when we were little, my eldest brother had so many ways to deal with us disobedient people! Dad can also be shady sometimes."
Zhao Lingmeng wanted to laugh as she spoke. As she recalled the eldest brother in the original owner's memory, she became more and more curious about what expression the old man would have if one day he knew his son's true face.
"Our prince is very clever!" Qiuyue echoed Zhao Lingmeng's praise and continued, "Master Qian Yong, a colleague of yours, came to visit you today. After he left, yours truly was so delighted that he even had an extra bowl of dinner. I sent someone to inquire, and you know that yours truly asked Qian Yong to help him select an official position."
"Oh, it seems that our princess feels that she can no longer stay in Yuanjing and wants to run away without caring about anything. What do you think, should this princess help him?"
Qiuyue was also furious when she heard what he said. The master was such an ungrateful guy. "Princess, why don't you just help him? He wants to escape from Yuanjing, so why not let him go back to his hometown and farm? He can also be filial to that vicious woman Zhou. How great."
Qiuhua also agreed, "Princess, I also think Qiuyue is right. Anyway, the master is just messing around in the mansion."
Even Chunshui and Chunmu, who came later, nodded. They had been here for more than a month and had witnessed the character of this princess. They could only say that they also felt that the princess was unlucky.
"Chunshui and Chunmu, do you think that if I tell the emperor that I want to divorce the princess, he will agree?" Zhao Lingmeng wanted to hear their opinions first. After all, they were sent by the emperor, and maybe they could understand his thoughts.
Chunshui and Chunmu looked at each other. Although they were sent by the emperor, they were both secret guards in the past and did not understand the emperor's views. Chunshui suddenly had an idea. "Princess, I will find someone for you. Ask her. She will definitely know."
After Chunshui finished speaking, he went outside to find Madam Sun and said, "Madam Sun, the princess wants to ask you something."
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Nanny Sun who was pulled in. She gave Chunshui an admiring look. She was also blind to the truth! She had such a know-it-all by her side but didn't know how to use him.
Zhao Lingmeng immediately grabbed Nanny Sun's hand with her eyes shining, "Nanny, come and sit here."
Nanny Sun sat obediently at the head of the table, looking at Zhao Lingmeng with indulgence. She had been with the princess for over a month, and she believed she was a pretty good judge of character. The princess was a rare, genuine person. "What does the princess want from me? Ask me!"
"Mammy, I want to divorce my husband. Will the emperor agree? I wonder if I can stay single after that?" After saying this, Zhao Lingmeng looked at Mammy Sun with expectant eyes.
Nanny Sun thought about the emperor's character. He would agree to such a small matter as divorcing her husband, but the rest would be a bit difficult.
"Princess, if you want to divorce your husband, there is definitely no problem. But once you divorce him, many people will be interested in you, including that one..."
This is what Nanny Sun really thinks. As the princess becomes more and more powerful, more people will want to marry her. The royal family must want to control such people in their own hands, so they think the fastest and most reliable way is to let the princess marry into the royal family.
"No way! That guy is so old, and he still likes me." Zhao Lingmeng felt it was very difficult. Apart from anything else, she didn't want to give up her position as a princess and become a palace concubine.
"That man has many children and many young men from the royal family." Nanny Sun advised Zhao Lingmeng that the difficult part was not divorcing her husband, but the future after divorcing him.
"If I ask the emperor for a promise not to marry, is there a chance?" Zhao Lingmeng still didn't want to give up. She felt that getting married was too troublesome, and she still just wanted to be a widow.
If she could become a widow and declare her unmarried life, she would be more accepted by this era. But she didn't want to plot Sun Tu's death herself. It wasn't that she was a saint. It was mainly because she and Sun Tu had three children! There is no such thing as a wall without airtightness. If they grew up and realized it, more trouble would come.
Zhao Lingmeng doesn't want to use all her energy on internal conflicts. It would be so tiring to live like that!
Nanny Sun looked at the princess, who seemed to be lost in thought, and soothed her: "Why don't you divorce your husband first? We can figure out other things together when the time comes."
Nanny Sun also disliked Sun Tu very much. He had no ability or character, and was just a useless guy who was a bully at home. Keeping him around would only be a hindrance.
