Chapter 45: Zhao Lingmeng and Sun Tu coexist peacefully
When Sun Tu heard his wife say this, he knew that there was no turning back on this matter. He couldn't help but sneer, "Madam, you have thought of everything!"
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care what Sun Tu, the scumbag, was feeling at the moment, and said bluntly: "You'd better take care of your mother, if she offends me! Humph. I won't let anyone bully me now. You know what it means that the king is the leader of the ministers! Now I am a princess, and I can also call myself this palace. So don't be lucky. If Zhou doesn't come to me, I will treat her as dead."
When Sun Tu heard Zhao Lingmeng's words about treating her as dead, he immediately threw the notebook in his hand onto the small couch next to him with a bang, "Zhao Lingmeng, that's my mother, how dare you curse her."
"She dared to kill me. Cursing me was already a generous gesture on my part. Do you know what the first thing I wanted to do when I opened my eyes? I wanted you three to die. Just be thankful we still have three children, otherwise I wouldn't mind killing you. But this is just this once. If there's a next time, our Lord Sun will go to hell and fight!
Don't blame me for being cruel. After all, when I was kind, no one left me a way to live!" Zhao Lingmeng said, and slapped Sun Tu's face a few times, with a very arrogant attitude.
Zhao Lingmeng had no concerns at the moment. His father was still favored by the emperor, and according to the book, his half-sister was to marry the next emperor, the third prince. So Zhao Lingmeng wasn't afraid of Sun Tu's chance to rise again. Furthermore, he had already cut off his offspring, and his only three sons were all his own.
Zhao Lingmeng said to herself that the good days are now, and power will be lost if it is not enjoyed in time.
Sun Tu looked at Zhao Lingmeng, who spoke in a nonchalant tone but said the most vicious words. He could only ask, "Don't you care about the relationship between husband and wife at all now?"
"Where was the love between husband and wife when you and Wang Xiaoyan were together? Where was the love between husband and wife when Zhou bullied me? You, Lord Sun, still have this thing?"
"I've said it before, I was drugged, I didn't want to take a concubine." Sun Tu felt quite aggrieved when talking about this.
"Could it be that this princess gave Lord Sun the medicine? Now that this princess doesn't mind that you are dirty, you can just laugh secretly!" Zhao Lingmeng found it funny and speechlessly looked at Sun Tu who felt wronged in front of her.
"This?" Sun Tu couldn't find any reason to refute for a moment.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't bother to argue with him any further. After all, if the person was in her hands, she wouldn't show any mercy. "Keep reading!"
When Sun Tu heard Zhao Lingmeng's order, he wanted to walk away, but he realized that he couldn't leave now. He could only accept his fate and bend down, pick up the book he had just thrown away, and continue reading.
Sun Tu was quite good at reading storybooks, at least for someone who had achieved a third place in the imperial examination. He could also convey a lot of twists and turns in the plot, making it fascinating. Zhao Lingmeng was almost falling asleep while listening. As Sun Tu read, he was also thinking about his own way out, or rather, how to break the deadlock.
After much deliberation, he concluded that his only option now was to obey his wife and take care of his mother and Sun Yue. He could only work diligently as an official. There was no chance of him rising to prominence; it would probably depend on the next generation. He had always been ambitious and had hoped to be made a marquis or prime minister, but now, there was no chance.
As Sun Tu was reading, he saw his wife fall asleep. He took the initiative to get a quilt from the side and covered her with it. Then he picked up a book from the bookshelf nearby and sat down not far away to read slowly. For a moment, Sun Tu felt that there was a sense of peace and tranquility in this room.
Sun Tu was originally a person who loved the warmth of family, otherwise he would not have been so desperate to protect his mother. Now he also felt this atmosphere from his wife, and was a little confused for a moment.
This was actually the original owner's downfall! As soon as she got married, she suppressed her temper. Every day, she was either dealing with Zhou and Sun Yue's unreasonable behavior or pregnant. She had no time or energy to enjoy her life with Sun Tu. This was one of the reasons why they seemed to be in harmony, but Sun Tu couldn't pay attention to her at critical moments.
When Zhao Lingmeng woke up, she saw Sun Tu sitting not far away, slowly flipping through a book. Judging from the thickness of the book, he must have been reading it for a long time.
"You're awake!" Sun Tu heard the noise, raised his head from the book and asked.
Zhao Lingmeng, the one who ruined the atmosphere, started with a bombshell: "I thought you were going to take this opportunity to strangle me to death!"
"I'm not a fugitive bandit, how could I possibly do something like that?" Sun Tu was now truly curious about his wife's image of him. Although he was wrong this time, he wasn't hopeless and wouldn't kill people at will!
And sometimes, those harsh words spoken by both sides are just words said in anger! Is it possible that someone still takes them seriously?
"Who knows?" Zhao Lingmeng was merciless in her words.
Sun Tu didn't want to argue with Zhao Lingmeng anymore, so he just gave in and said, "Okay, I'll apologize. Madam, can we put those things behind us for now?"
Zhao Lingmeng wasn't a quarrelsome person, constantly craving arguments. She simply felt sorry for the original owner and offered Sun Tu's future offspring as compensation. Furthermore, Sun Tu's career was cut short, and Zhou's future was likely to be difficult. The original owner should finally rest in peace. Zhao Lingmeng thought that this was the way to go for now.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the setting sun outside the window and asked the original owner in her heart: "Zhao Lingmeng, are you satisfied with this result? Don't worry, your three sons are all doing well. I will raise them well. I won't have any more children and will treat them well."
Zhao Lingmeng had experienced something so miraculous as traveling through a book, and she felt that the original owner might not be far away, or that a trace of her soul might still be inside her body, watching over everything. So now she was asking this question in her heart, seeking peace of mind.
The reality was just as Zhao Lingmeng had dreamed. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her body lighten up. She felt like she wasn't breathing as hard anymore. She felt like this body truly belonged to her.
"Madam, Madam..." Sun Tu saw that Zhao Lingmeng didn't respond to him. He looked up and saw her staring out the window in a daze. She definitely didn't listen to him. He could only call her.
Zhao Lingmeng came back to her senses when she heard Sun Tu's voice and rolled her eyes at him. "Okay, let's do this for now! Let's get along peacefully. I won't pick a fight with you, and you don't mess with me either."
Sun Tu nodded when he heard this, but he was thinking in his heart, how dare I mess with you now.
