“Sister-in-law! It was Ah Jiao’s shallowness and wrongdoing that caused this incident. Ah Jiao apologizes to you here.”

Sun Yi clapped and laughed.

"Yes, yes, that's right. You're in the wrong! Apologize to your sister-in-law."

However, Sun Yi then praised his concubine: "A Jiao is not only innocent, but also meritorious."

Liu Ajiao was shocked by Sun Yi's words.

At that time, she was truly desperate in her pursuit of Qiao Jingjing, intending to capture her, tie her up, and throw her into the moat. She wouldn't even let Qiao Jingjing go when she ran to the stables.

"Because of my sister-in-law's actions, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, which is how my elder brother and sister-in-law met."

Sun Quan explained.

Everyone laughed and clapped, saying that's exactly right.

Qiao Jingjing laughed too, how can you say it isn't?

Qiao Jingjing also raised her glass to greet everyone, and said she would drink this glass of wine and that would be the end of it.

In a large family, you should be perfunctory in dealing with things superficially, and deal with things that need to be taken seriously later.

The next group went to Yuan Shiyi's place.

Yuan Shiyi once lived a life of luxury and wealth, but now her status is truly low. Sun Quan's current official rank is only that of a general. As the concubine of a general with only five thousand men under his command, Yuan Shiyi lives a secluded life in Sun Quan's small courtyard.

Sun Quan's principal wife, Lady Xie, was not as easy to get along with as Sun Ce's principal wife, Lady Gu.

The next day, Xie established rules with Yuan Shiyi.

"Yesterday, my husband was only interested in you, so I didn't argue with you!"

From this day forward, I am the wife and you are the concubine. I don't care what your previous status was, who your father was, how many brothers you have, or how many rare treasures your family still possesses.

In my husband's presence, I am the superior and you the inferior. My husband rests in my room for twenty days a month, but in your room, he spends at most three to five days.

If you agree, I will let it go and give you a place to stay.

If you disagree, I will tell Mother that you, a phoenix that has lost its feathers, refuse to accept your fate and still yearn for the glory and wealth your Yuan family once enjoyed..."

That scolding had already given Yuan Shiyi a glimpse into what the days ahead would be like.

She was given to Sun Quan by her mother.

Her sixth brother, Yuan Yao, is now a minor military officer in Wu Hou's army. It is said that he often suffers from those who take advantage of his misfortune and has endured a lot of hardship. Fortunately, Sun Quan sometimes helps him out.

Yuan Shiyi told Madam Xie that she would not argue with her. She knew her own identity and status, and understood what she should and should not do.

Yuan Shiyi was very careful in Sun Quan's courtyard, trying his best to please Lady Xie.

He never uttered a single extra word in front of Madam Wu.

On days like today, out of consideration for the family's reputation, Madam Xie allows Yuan Shiyi to appear. And on the other day, when Marquis Wu led his troops on a campaign, such a grand farewell occasion, Yuan Shiyi also had the opportunity to make an appearance.

This would also prevent others from saying that Madam Xie was not virtuous or that she was jealous.

"Second sister-in-law, there's something I don't understand. Back then, my brothers and I set off from Shouchun to cross the Yangtze River to help my uncle and cousin attack Liu Yao in Qu'a."

"Second sister-in-law, when you sent a maidservant with a package of silver and jewelry, were you giving it to my eldest brother or my second brother?"

Sun Yi dared to ask such a question; he must have been drunk.

Of course, this was a question he had always been very curious about but had never been able to figure out.

Beside Sun Yi, Madam Xu had already reached out and pinched his thigh without any politeness, making Sun Yi grimace.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing!"

Look at everyone! Your sisters-in-law treat your brothers with utmost respect, but why are you so fierce and hostile towards your husband? Do you believe I'll tell Mother?

“Tell your mother what happened? She’ll support you and say you drank well and then started talking nonsense.”

Madam Xu reprimanded her husband, Sun Yi, and the reprimand was very effective.

Yuan Shiyi had no choice but to step forward and refute the rumors.

“On that day, it was my father who went back on his word. He had made a promise to Marquis Wu, but he did not keep it. I am just expressing my apologies on behalf of my father. When I was young in Shouchun, I was fortunate enough to never see the young Marquis Wu’s handsome appearance, but I did meet my husband a few times.”

As Yuan Shiyi spoke, she lowered her head in a very appropriate manner, becoming shy.

Sun Quan smiled slightly.

When Sun Quan was young, he followed his father Sun Jian to Yuan Shu's side. As a child, he had no taboos and often entered the inner quarters of the Yuan family and saw the young ladies of the Yuan family. Yuan Eleven was outstanding in appearance among her sisters, and unlike her older and younger sisters, she was very composed.

Sun Yi was most curious about these two pieces of Bagua.

He got all the answers he needed to know today, fueled by alcohol.

It was pretty much exactly what he had in mind.

Anyway, he just likes the feeling of lovers finally getting together.

Looking at himself, although his wife, Xu, was very attractive and interesting, and his newly acquired concubine, Liu Ajiao, although she had been married before, was very obedient to him and had many new and interesting aspects, he still couldn't find that feeling of his heart fluttering for a woman.

I'm so envious.
