Chapter 447 Oops, I forgot to go back to the Fan Mansion to recognize my relatives
The three children were all very self-motivated in their studies, so when Zhao Houyang wanted to ask for leave, Zhao Lingmeng agreed without hesitation. She didn't think it was a big deal: "Okay, if you want to ask for leave, go ahead!"
Zhao Houyang originally thought that it would take some persuasion to get his mother to agree to this matter, but he didn't expect his mother to agree directly: "Hey, mother, why did you agree so readily?"
Zhao Lingmeng reached out and touched Zhao Houyang's head. "Taking leave doesn't mean you don't have to study. Look at your second brother at home, he's also always reading. If you have any questions, just go directly to the academy and ask your teacher. It's the same."
Zhao Houyang understood that it was because his second brother, a clever pervert, was here that his mother thought he could do it. For a moment, Zhao Houyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only glare at his second brother next to him.
Zhao Houming's third brother must have had a cramp in his eyes, otherwise why would he glare at him? He hadn't offended anyone.
Zhao Lingmeng always treated everyone equally, so she also looked at Zhao Houjing, "Jing'er, do you want to ask for leave?"
Zhao Houjing didn't want to study in the mansion. He liked the atmosphere of the academy. But since both of his brothers had already invited him, he felt it would be inappropriate if he didn't. "My foundation is not good, so I'll just invite him half a day every day!"
Zhao Lingmeng was quite satisfied with this. After all, she didn't care about the actions but the intentions, so as long as she was willing to take leave, that would be fine.
"Well, that's up to you guys. Since the three of you are all filial, you can take turns going every day. One of you can accompany me to visit your grandmother every day. There's no need for so many people to go every time."
Zhao Houjing and his two brothers had no objection to this. Their grandmother was ill and in poor spirits. She only wanted to cheer herself up by seeing them, her grandparents. There was no way they could have a good chat.
After that, Zhao Lingmeng took her husband and a son to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion every day, and never remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something.
Fan Yong knew that His Highness was worried about his mother, but he didn't mention it. Mainly because as a straight man, he felt that it made no difference whether he returned to the Fan Mansion a few days earlier or later.
It was on this day that Madam Wei looked at her daughter who was always by her side and she remembered, "You come to see me every day. Have you been to the Fan Mansion?"
When Mrs. Wei asked this question, Zhao Lingmeng was eating grapes nearby. Hearing this, she looked at her mother with her big eyes in surprise, and then at her husband who was peeling grapes for her.
The confusion in Zhao Lingmeng's eyes at this moment made people feel both funny and irritated.
Mrs. Wei took a deep breath and said to herself, "I am a patient. I am not angry. I am not angry."
Seeing this, Fan Yong was also worried that his mother would get angry and do something bad, so he quickly explained: "Don't be angry, mother. I used to be away from home for a long time on missions, and my family doesn't mind."
Mrs. Wei felt even angrier when she saw her son-in-law's silly look.
She could only reach out and pat her unlucky daughter who was still eating in front of her, "You only know how to eat, can you save some energy?" Old Madam Wei was really speechless. On the wedding day, she saw her son-in-law's mother, and she was not a generous person at all. She must have been very angry in the mansion these days.
Madam Fan was indeed furious at the Fan Mansion. Initially, they thought that Princess Funing would return to recognize her relatives the day after her wedding to Fan Yong. They had prepared everything, but no one showed up.
Then they thought they would go back on the third day, but on the third day, Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong went to the imperial palace and Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and had no intention of going to Fan Mansion at all.
Finally, they figured it would be their turn to go to the Fan Residence on the fourth day! As a result, Zhao Lingmeng and the others resumed their daily schedule of visiting the Wu'an Marquis Residence.
Old Madam Fan was almost mad at home, feeling that she had raised her son in vain. She was about to go to the Princess's residence to question him, but Old Madam Fan stopped them.
Their son married the Princess, and it was his own will, not forced by the Princess. So, they shouldn't hold their son back.
Moreover, Madam Wei was seriously ill, so they should understand. If the news of their troublemaking reached Madam Wei's ears and she got angry, it would be an enmity.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at her hand that was slapped by her mother and said coquettishly, "Mom, you just told me to eat whatever I wanted."
Madam Wei took another deep breath, silently repeating to herself, "My daughter is my biological daughter, she is my biological daughter." Then she said bluntly, "Did you hear what I said? Go back with your husband tomorrow to recognize your biological parents."
"I know. It's not that I didn't go back on purpose. I just really didn't remember it this time. I'll send someone to deliver the invitation to the Fan Mansion and go back tomorrow. Don't worry, mom." Zhao Lingmeng didn't want her mother to be like this and still worry about her, so she hurried to explain.
Madam Wei really wanted to give her daughter a beating, so she could only order: "Let Qiuyue go and deliver the invitation in person now."
Zhao Lingmeng had no intention of giving her mother a perfunctory answer. Seeing her mother's insistence, she immediately called Chunshui in: "Chunshui, go to the Fan Mansion and deliver a visiting card, saying that I will go back with my husband to recognize my relatives tomorrow."
Zhao Lingmeng wouldn't let Qiuyue go. If someone in the Fan Mansion acted unreasonably, Qiuyue wouldn't be able to resist since she didn't have any martial arts skills. Chunshui would be a good choice; if something happened, she could run away quickly.
Madam Wei's own daughter, she really knew what this guy was thinking. However, she didn't expose her daughter. She just reached out and poked Zhao Lingmeng's head helplessly, "You! Don't worry too much."
"Your daughter is so kind, why should you care about it? Don't worry, mother! I will give face to the prince consort no matter what." Zhao Lingmeng really felt that she was not a person who liked to care about things, but she couldn't let others ride on her head.
"Then what are you still doing here?"
After Mrs. Wei said this, Zhao Lingmeng became even more confused. Everything was fine just now, so why did her mother turn against her so suddenly?
Mrs. Wei saw the confusion on her daughter's face and took another deep breath. "Why don't you go back and prepare a gift? You're going to visit tomorrow empty-handed?"
Zhao Lingmeng wanted to say that the servants around her would prepare it, but when she looked at her mother's face, she silently swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Zhao Lingmeng helped Fan Yong stand up and bowed to Madam Wei, "Mother, I'll take my leave now!"
"Go! Go!" Madam Wei's head ached just looking at her daughter. She hadn't gone to the Fan Mansion to acknowledge her relatives in all these days. How careless she was! Her son-in-law was the same. He didn't even remind her of such things.
Old Madam Wei now even took her anger out on her son-in-law. In her eyes, neither of these two men was very reliable.
Zhao Lingmeng brought Zhao Houyang with her today. Zhao Houyang was very tactful. As soon as he left his grandmother's yard, he immediately said, "Mom, I want to go see my cousin Cheng Chen today, so I won't be going back home with you. I'll go back by myself later."
