Chapter 95 Sun Tu's Complacency
"Then you go, Dad!" Sun Qijing said silently in his heart, if you leave, I will only have my mother, no longer a father. A child's trust comes so recklessly, and when it is lost, it is also ruthless and decisive.
Sun Tu didn't see Sun Qijing's expression. He thought he had convinced his son and that this was his way out in the future. So he happily patted Sun Qijing's head and praised him, "You are really a good son to your father."
"Then Daddy will hold you for a while longer, just a little while." Sun Qijing's eyes were red in Sun Tu's arms. Sun Tu didn't see this and said self-righteously, "Daddy will hold you for a while longer."
Sun Qijing said nothing more for the rest of the day. He and Sun Tu even fed the fish under the pavilion together. To those who didn't know, from afar, it was a picture of loving father and filial son. Even Dong Mian, standing not far away, felt that the young master had been seduced by the old master again, and silently felt sorry for the princess.
Sun Tu played with Sun Qijing for a long time, and they even went to play on Sun Qijing's favorite slide, and then had lunch together. After lunch, Sun Tu used the excuse that he had more time in the afternoon to let Sun Qijing go play by himself.
Sun Qijing walked out of Sun Tu's yard, looking back every few steps, and then he said softly to Dong Mian, "Aunt Dong Mian, let's go back to Yixin Courtyard to find mother."
After Sun Qijing finished speaking, he left without looking back. It was not possible to tell that he was still attached to Sun Tu. Dong Mian looked at Sun Qijing's back and suddenly felt that she could not understand him. She could only wonder in her heart, "Are all kids nowadays so capable?"
No matter what Dongmian thought, she followed Sun Qijing without stopping. Her responsibility was to protect the young master, and other matters were not her responsibility, so she did not ask, but just followed Sun Qijing silently.
When Sun Qijing returned to Yixinyuan, Zhao Lingmeng and Sun Qiming had just finished lunch, though they'd eaten a bit too much. They were slumped in their chairs, sipping digestive tea as usual. This was the usual scene Sun Qijing saw when he entered.
"Mom!" Sun Qijing called out in a low voice.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't pretend to be angry and said in a normal voice, "Jing'er is back! Would you like to have some lunch?"
Sun Qijing looked at the remaining dishes on the table: steamed egg, meatball soup, roast duck, and steamed pork ribs with rice flour. All of them were Sun Qijing's favorites. Although he had already eaten them, he felt that he could have some more. He immediately said, "Yes."
Zhao Lingmeng used her eyes to signal Qiuyue to get another pair of chopsticks for the young master. However, Sun Qiming snorted beside her, as if to say, "I don't want to bother with you."
Sun Qijing ignored his younger brother. He was in no rush anyway. He just wanted to eat. He took his own small bowl and chopsticks and ate quite a bit by himself.
After Sun Qijing had eaten his fill, he also held a cup of digestive tea and looked at Zhao Lingmeng and said, "Mom, I know I was wrong, and I will change in the future."
"What's wrong?" Zhao Lingmeng did not say forgiveness first, but asked what was wrong first.
Sun Qijing looked at Zhao Lingmeng and admitted seriously: "My mistake is that I shouldn't have thought of being the master of my mother, nor should I have thought that my mother's things belong to me."
"Well, you're quite aware. I can roughly guess what those people said to you before. But today, I want to say that my things are mine until I die. As for after I die, it depends on your performance at that time.
Since both of you are here today, I'll make it clear to both of you once and for all: You may think I'm biased emotionally, but I treat everyone equally. I'll send you all to school, and whether you can pass the exams in the future depends on you.
When you get married, I'll give you a betrothal gift and buy you a small house. The specific amount will depend on my mood and financial resources at the time. If you miss me, just come back to the Princess's Mansion to see me. I don't follow anyone, and I don't need anyone to rule me. Your future depends on you studying hard to earn it.
But if you're an ungrateful person, I'll just pretend I never gave birth to you, so don't think I have to be your boss. I won't mind whoever you want to control in the future, as long as you don't bother me."
After hearing what their mother said, Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming were both stunned. They looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts.
"Mom, do you mean that when we grow up and get married, we will have to live alone?" Sun Qiming looked at Zhao Lingmeng in confusion.
"How can you be alone? You have a wife and children."
"But we want to live with mom! I give all my official salary to mom." Sun Qiming was quick to show his loyalty, but it was a pity that Zhao Lingmeng did not appreciate it.
"You three brothers, please don't bother me when the time comes. That's your filial piety." The more Zhao Lingmeng spoke, the more he looked forward to his future life.
"Mom" Sun Qiming called out, his eyes red.
"Okay, you still have many years to grow up! Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to comfort these two guys. It was one thing for boys to be filial, but she didn't want to raise a few mama's boys who were always humble.
The brothers Sun Qijing and Sun Qiming could only drink the digestive tea by themselves with a wronged look on their faces, but their ideas were slightly different.
Sun Qijing was thinking about why his mother didn't ask him who he chose, and how he should tell her that he didn't want a father anymore! Sun Qiming was thinking about whether he would marry a wife in the future. Children's thoughts are so naive.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care what the two brothers were thinking. After she finished speaking, she gulped down her digestive tea. "After you two finish your tea, go take a nap. When you wake up, go find Master Wu to teach you how to read. Mother will go in and take a nap first. Don't come to me unless it's urgent."
After Zhao Lingmeng finished speaking, she walked towards the inner room. She had gotten up early today to watch the fun, and her body was still a little weak. Now she was really sleepy.
Sun Qiming waited until his mother had completely gone in before he moved over to sit next to Sun Qijing with his cup of digestive tea. He muttered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "What's the point of you coming back?"
"My father doesn't want me anymore, so I came back." Sun Qijing did not hide what he had done.
"Oh, I was wondering why you couldn't bear to leave your good father."
When Sun Qijing heard what Sun Qiming said, he didn't get angry. He just kept talking to himself, "He wants to take my aunt with him and pick up my grandmother, but he doesn't want to raise me. He only wants me to be filial to him when I grow up. How can he be so cruel?"
"He has always been like this," Sun Qiming replied in a low voice, and Sun Qijing actually saw disdain in his brother's eyes.
"Maybe! Anyway, let it be! I'm just a child. I kept him here." Sun Qijing now understands that he has nothing and he can't care less. Since Dad likes living far away, then he will always like it!
