Chapter 367 Zhao Anwei's Visit
"Is this credible?" Qiuyue actually felt that she still needed to investigate to see who was the traitor. If there was no one, she would feel more at ease after the investigation.
But she only listens to His Highness and does whatever His Highness says!
"Regardless of whether they are trustworthy or not, have Chunshui cooperate with you. Check the entire mansion, especially those in the front yard. Check if there are any families with great wealth or whose children are not doing well. Investigate secretly first, and try not to alert the enemy."
Zhao Lingmeng actually believed it was true. Princess Huaishu had no need to tell her false news. She would not doubt the people around her casually.
"Your Highness, if this is true, don't you owe Princess Huaishu a favor?" Qiuyue thought about the expression on Princess Huaishu's face every time she looked at Your Highness, which looked like her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose. She felt that it would be too difficult to repay a favor she owed to such a person.
"The favor is in my hands. I can repay it however I want. Just use it first!" Zhao Lingmeng was not at all affected by the threat of favors. Anyway, when the time is right, I just need to repay it. The rest is up to me.
"yes"
Qiuyue and the others quickly agreed.
"Okay, you're all tired after a day, take a rest first! Come back tomorrow morning to check." Zhao Lingmeng said as she yawned and walked to the bed. She was also tired after a day of work.
Qiuyue and the others waited until Zhao Lingmeng fell asleep, covered her with a quilt, blew out the candles in the room, and then quietly left.
However, they did not go down to rest, but immediately began to screen the people in the mansion.
The next day, Zhao Lingmeng slept until she woke up naturally. As soon as she woke up, Qiuyue told her that Lord Zhongyong had come. Zhao Lingmeng was stunned for a moment before she could react.
"Lord Zhongyong?"
Seeing His Highness like this, Qiuyue could tell at a glance that he hadn't reacted yet, so she quickly explained, "It's General Zhao Anwei who's here."
"Oh, second brother is here! Why didn't you call me?" Zhao Lingmeng said as he lifted the quilt, got out of bed, washed and changed clothes. His movements were so fast, without any hesitation or carelessness as before.
"Lord Zhongyong is taking the three young masters for a stroll around the mansion! Lord Zhongyong also instructed not to wake His Highness, saying that His Highness should sleep until he wakes naturally."
Qiuyue said this in a very happy tone, at least the prince's second brother treated the prince well. Qiuyue was an old-fashioned person of this era, thinking that no matter how powerful a woman was, she still had to have someone in her family to support her, so that no one would dare to bully her.
Zhao Lingmeng also laughed. She didn't argue with Qiuyue about this. It was pointless.
After Zhao Lingmeng finished packing, she looked out at the sun's position and saw it was already noon. She didn't need to eat breakfast and decided to have lunch right away.
"Qiuyue, just let them have lunch! Bring out more meat and vegetables."
"Yes!" Qiuyue agreed immediately and went downstairs to make arrangements.
When the dishes were almost served, Zhao Anwei brought in Zhao Houjing and the other two.
Zhao Anwei bowed with a smile, "Greetings, Princess!"
"Second brother, what are you doing!"
Zhao Lingmeng was speechless as she held Zhao Anwei's hand as he was about to salute. Zhao Anwei chuckled a few times, looked at Zhao Lingmeng and said ingratiatingly, "I'm just trying to make you happy!"
"Then I have to thank you." Zhao Lingmeng really couldn't help but confront this guy.
Seeing his younger sister like this, Zhao Anwei didn't dare to continue the conversation and quickly changed the subject, "Wow, there are so many delicious foods! I'm getting hungry just looking at them."
Zhao Houjing and the other two didn't say a word the whole time, like three mutes. They looked at their second uncle, then at their mother, as if they were watching a show.
"Hurry up and sit down! The three of you don't have to look anymore." Zhao Lingmeng just believed that I can't say anything to my brother, and I can't say anything to my son either.
Zhao Houjing and the other two quickly smiled ingratiatingly and immediately found a seat. They all thought to themselves that it was risky to watch the fun. Damn, the fun was not good!
But this idea only existed before the three of them sat down. After Zhao Houjing and the other three sat down, they looked at the table full of delicious dishes and had no other ideas. They stared at their favorite dishes eagerly, waiting for the two elders to pick up their chopsticks first.
Zhao Anwei's smile widened as he watched his three nephews behave like this. It was the same look he gave to normal children. As for when he first realized these three children weren't normal, it was when they pestered him with questions this morning, often leaving him feeling embarrassed and unable to answer them.
Although Zhao Anwei rarely comes to Xiaomei's place, he feels just as comfortable when he does: "Xiaomei, let's eat first! We'll talk after we finish eating."
"Eat!" Zhao Lingmeng, who hadn't had breakfast, was also hungry, so she said this very readily.
After that, the whole room was basically filled with Zhao Anwei's voice, "Little sister, your meat is so delicious, soft and tasty."
"Little sister, this fish is delicious too."
"Little sister, this duck"
"Little sister, this turtle"
"Little sister, this beef"
Zhao Lingmeng and Zhao Houjing didn't say anything at all, just kept picking up their chopsticks.
Finally, Zhao Lingmeng couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Second brother, you are the second son of the Marquis's family and now the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery. Don't act like you've never had good food."
"Really not. The dishes in our mansion in the past were always the same, with all kinds of soup." Speaking of this, Zhao Anwei really wanted to complain about the bland meals in Wu'an Marquis's mansion in the past.
Zhao Lingmeng thought about the original owner's memories, and it was exactly as Zhao Anwei had described. Especially after being sick and starving for a few days, the food was even more appalling. "Okay, if it tastes good, eat more."
The only answer Zhao Lingmeng got was air, because Zhao Anwei was busy fighting with his three children for meat and had no time to reminisce about the past.
Zhao Lingmeng was also impressed by the four hungry guys at the table. She could only turn around and silently tell Qiuyue to add a few more dishes. These guys were really big eaters.
In fact, Zhao Lingmeng neglected herself. She also ate a lot.
Finally, the five of them finished eating the extra dishes, then they put down their chopsticks in satisfaction and slumped down on the chairs. Their expressions were filled with happiness.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care about how the four of them sat. She took a cup of tea to help digestion and drank it in small sips.
"Why did you come to my place today without bringing your second sister-in-law and the child?" Zhao Lingmeng only remembered to ask this question at this time.
"The Emperor has granted me five days of leave, so I don't have to go to court for the time being. I came to your place first, and then I can stay at home with your sister-in-law and the child. Your sister-in-law took the child back to her parents' home to show off today. I came to you mainly because I have something to do."
Zhao Anwei was almost saying, "If there's nothing else, I'll follow my wife back to her parents' home."
