Chapter 22 Zhao Shuiyun is recorded as the legitimate daughter 2
But Zhao Shuiyun thought, she would eventually get married, and if she could become the principal wife, she would definitely want to be the principal wife. Moreover, she and the Third Prince were in love, and if she missed such a good opportunity, as a concubine, she might never find such good conditions again. So she would definitely fight for it if she could.
Zhao Shuiyun felt that she was different from her elder sister. Her elder sister had everything since she was a child, so when her family asked her to sacrifice her marriage, she immediately accepted the position she had chosen from the princess to marry a poor scholar. But look at the consequences, in the end she still fell into the harem's calculations.
So Zhao Shuiyun felt that all men in the world were similar, so if that was the case, she would choose to marry a man of high status. Zhao Shuiyun had a strong ambition in her heart.
"Sister, I know what you mean, but I want to give it a try. Even if I fail in the end, I won't regret it. As for the subsequent costs, I think the people in Wu'an Marquis Mansion are not evil people. If others don't provoke us, we won't bully others.
So if they need my help, I will lend a hand even if I don't change the family tree. So I don't think it's a big deal. If I can't make ends meet now, will my elder sister watch over me? "
Zhao Lingmeng felt that Zhao Shuiyun's question was particularly sincere. If the other party needed his help and it didn't affect anything, he really would not stand idly by.
Zhao Lingmeng pulled Zhao Shuiyun's hand and put the bracelet on her hand directly.
As soon as Zhao Shuiyun saw the quality of the bracelet, he knew it was a super good thing, the kind that was kept in the bottom of the box.
"Sister, I can't accept this."
As Zhao Shuiyun spoke, he was about to take it off and return it to Zhao Lingmeng.
Zhao Lingmeng pressed her half-sister's hand and said in a cheerful tone, "Take it! It's a meeting gift from my sister. Come and call me sister."
"Sister." Zhao Shuiyun's eyes were red. She knew why her stepmother had brought her to her stepmother's place. She had been very nervous the entire way. She had imagined countless awkward situations along the way, but she had never expected it to go so smoothly. Her stepmother had agreed without hesitation, so she called her "sister" with great willingness.
"You go back with your mother first! When your day is good, I will go back to congratulate you." Zhao Lingmeng looked at the girl who was about to cry, and clapped his hands to comfort her.
"Then you take care of my sister first and don't worry about anything. If anything happens, send someone to the Marquis' Mansion to inform father. Don't be too kind." It was rare for Zhao Shuiyun to say something so pointed.
"Sister knows. You and mother should go back first! If you are any later, you will have to eat at the same table with your brother-in-law. Mother said she can't eat anymore, can you eat it?" After Zhao Lingmeng said this, she looked at Zhao Shuiyun mischievously.
Zhao Shuiyun was stunned for a moment, then thought to herself that she couldn't eat after thinking about what he had done. "Then I'll leave first." After saying that, she ran away.
Zhao Lingmeng found her half-sister's fleeing figure quite amusing, and she laughed unknowingly as she leaned against the headboard. Zhao Lingmeng felt that based on the relatives she had interacted with so far, the people of the Marquis of Wu'an were quite lovely. This made Zhao Lingmeng feel relieved and more confident in facing the future.
Sure enough, not long after Lady Wu'an and her men left, Sun Tu arrived at Yixin Courtyard with his servant. Actually, Sun Tu hadn't been on duty for a long time. When Lady Wu'an arrived today, he had received the news. But he was a little hesitant to come. He still remembered the look on his mother-in-law's face when Zhao Lingmeng gave birth.
The look in his eyes, as if he were looking at a dead person, still frightened Sun Tu. So today, when Sun Tu received the news, he walked around the room in circles, hesitant and afraid to come. So he mentally prepared himself for a long time before mustering the courage to come.
When Sun Tu learned that his mother-in-law had passed away, he felt a little regretful but also relieved.
"Madam Wu, bring some food." Sun Tu learned that the wife of Marquis Wu'an had left, so he sat at the table in Zhao Lingmeng's room with peace of mind, and did not forget to order a brunch for himself.
"Let's go out and eat." Zhao Lingmeng was speechless at the man's shamelessness and could only speak in a bad tone.
Sun Tu didn't dare to refute, so he could only go to the next room to eat. He had tried repeatedly during this period of time. If he ate here, his wife wouldn't mind. But she would definitely not care about his mother and sister. Sun Tu actually didn't know what to do now.
If I didn't come to Yixinyuan to eat and drink for free, I would have to go out and borrow money from my colleagues. I have already given all my savings to my mother and sister. It can only be said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This month, my mother and sister have sent people out to buy the best food, and now they are already thinking about the money of the people who serve them.
I had no choice but to give all my money to my mother, and even secretly pawned a piece of calligraphy and painting that I loved very much. And if I continue like this, I will not be able to make ends meet. What will I do then?
"Madam Wu, bring these three brothers over to play for a while!" Zhao Lingmeng instructed Madam Wu only after Sun Tu went to the next room.
After a while, Nanny Wu came over with two little ones, Sun Qiming and Sun Qiyang.
"Mammy, where is Sun Qijing?" After asking, Zhao Lingmeng deliberately looked behind Mammy Wu.
Nanny Wu glanced at Zhao Lingmeng's expression before replying, "The eldest young master went to the next room to see the master. He said he would come over later."
Zhao Lingmeng nodded at that, thinking to herself that her son was quite affectionate. Besides, Sun Tu, Zhou, and the others had been very kind to Sun Qijing. If he completely ignored his father in such a short time, she would be even more heartbroken.
Nanny Wu handed Sun Qiyang to Zhao Lingmeng's arms, and then carefully comforted her: "Madam, the eldest young master is still young. He will understand you when he grows up."
"Mammy, I'm fine. I feel proud of him." After saying this, Zhao Lingmeng touched the head of the second son Sun Qiming.
"Mom, don't be sad, you still have me!" Little adult Sun Qiming comforted Zhao Lingmeng.
Zhao Lingmeng smiled and touched Sun Qiming's little face when she heard this. "Mom is very happy to have you guys, but please don't blame your brother, okay?"
Sun Qiming, a small boy, was actually a little angry. They had been playing together every day these days, and now Sun Qijing had gone to see his father, whom his mother didn't like. Sun Qiming felt like he had been betrayed.
He raised his little head stubbornly and asked, "Why?" Besides tears, Zhao Lingmeng actually saw grievance in the little man's eyes.
Zhao Lingmeng saw this and put Sun Qiyang on the inside of the bed. She held Sun Qiming up with both hands, touched his back and said soothingly, "Mother doesn't mean to blame you."
