After the Sun brothers had offered their toasts.
Qiao Jingjing also toasted Madam Wu, her aunt Madam Sun, Madam Gu, and several other sisters-in-law, her words filled with humility and sincerity.
It was all because she was young and naive; all the decisions were made by Lord Wu.
"If my mother, aunt, sister, or sisters-in-law think that Da Qiao has done something wrong, they must point it out to me and teach me."
Qiao Jingjing's attitude.
Qiao Jingjing, who knew Sun Ce back then.
Worlds apart.
The Qiao Jingjing of the past was a hotheaded woman who dared to fight anyone regardless of her own abilities.
He had left Lujiang City many times back then, fearing that she would make too many enemies there, making her life difficult.
This is the best time.
Since Qiao Jingjing married him, she has been very sensible in public, but she is a completely different person in private.
He knew that although Qiao Jingjing was still that free-spirited and lovely woman at heart, she used every word and action to please her mother-in-law and everyone in the family.
That's fine.
That's all he asked of her.
That night.
Qiao Jingjing even went to the kitchen and made Laba porridge with the chefs. Rice, millet, barley, red dates, lotus seeds, peanuts, longan, and various beans were cooked together to make both sweet and savory flavors.
Qiao Jingjing and Madam Hou Gu held a Laba porridge feast at Fu Garden.
They invited Sun Ce's mother, aunt, brothers, and sisters-in-law to come and drink Laba porridge, warm themselves by the fire, and enjoy wine.
Sun Yi complained that it wasn't enough and said he wanted to eat meat.
Qiao Jingjing said, "A whole sheep was slaughtered in the kitchen and roasted over a fire on a large stove for most of the afternoon."
Sun Yi was finally satisfied.
"As expected of my sister-in-law, you understand me! Just drinking some porridge isn't enough, we need to drink alcohol and eat meat! Ah Xiang, isn't your third brother right?"
Sun Shangxiang smiled; she loved her third brother's straightforwardness and frankness.
She was the same.
"My third brother's favorite things are fighting, drinking and eating meat, and the third one is my third sister-in-law."
The whole family burst into laughter.
Qiao Jingjing won over the Sun family with her actions.
The laughter and lively sounds reached the secluded courtyard, where Grandma Qiao heard them.
She felt a unique mix of emotions.
"A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl—gone forever!"
Look, look, Qiao Xuan, this is your eldest daughter!
The family was enjoying themselves, eating and drinking well, chatting and laughing, and seemed very happy.
Your eldest daughter really made a name for herself this time when she went out with Lord Wu. I heard that even Madam Wu praised her for being quick-witted, dignified, and composed.
good!
Okay. Now that she's received praise, she should also help her family.
I know all this; you can't fool me. Qiao Xuan, your two sons have rendered meritorious service this time. They charged into battle, always at the forefront, even diving into the water to sabotage Huang Zu's ships in the dead of winter.
"This older sister, all she thinks about is her own glory, doesn't she ever think about getting her brothers a military merit?"
Old Man Qiao quickly covered his wife's mouth.
His wife, Ms. Nian Meiyi, who was once the most beautiful woman in Luoyang, has been going crazy one wave after another in recent years.
Except for that year, when Lü Meng was at the Qiao family's house, holding a knife in his hand, standing in front of her, she had just taken medicine and was somewhat restrained.
Even though she was already living under someone else's roof in the Wu family's house, she thought she was in a very powerful position.
"Say less! Say less! The walls have ears."
This was all the advice Qiao Xuan could offer.
"What do you mean I should say less! Didn't Da Qiao come out of my belly? Da Qiao is my daughter, how could she not side with our family!"
“You are her dear mother…”
"I'm not her biological mother, so who are you?!"
Mrs. Qiao spoke very loudly to Old Man Qiao.
Old Man Joe was furious.
I could only muster my courage and try to persuade them again.
Now, Liu Yao's son has moved into this house, and although his wife is insane, she can't say whatever she wants.
"Madam! Ah... I shouldn't have said these things. You're not happy to hear them, but could you think about Da Qiao? The Wu Marquis's mansion is so large, with a large population. There's a mother-in-law, aunts, uncles, sisters-in-law, and a whole family. The Wu Marquis also has a principal wife, Madam Gu."
If our Da Qiao says the wrong thing or takes the wrong step, the consequences will be unimaginable.
She hasn't even gotten a foothold yet, how can you try to hold her back!
"Stop saying those things."
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she got angry.
"Hey, how dare you talk like that? Qiao Xuan, you have no conscience! What do you mean I'm dragging Da Qiao down? I'm her dear mother, how could I drag her down?"
I was right!
Qiao Xuan, Da Qiao, is currently favored by the Marquis of Wu; we must strike while the iron is hot.
You're a man, how could you not understand how much passion a man can have?
I can see that you favor Da Qiao. You're ignoring Qiao Er and Qiao San! Qiao Er and Qiao San are your real sons; they'll be there to take care of you in your old age, see you off in your final days, and keep your funeral arrangements.”
Speaking of her son.
Mrs. Joe got angry again because of that incident.
Sun Ce brought back several children surnamed Liu this time and sent them to Old Man Qiao.
They said these children would all be adopted sons of Qiao Xuan's family in the future.
Tell the Qiao family to take good care of him.
There was no room for Joe's mother to refuse.
Upon inquiring, Qiao's mother learned that her daughter, Da Qiao, had already agreed to the proposal in front of Sun Ce.
"Qiao Xuan, if you don't discipline your daughter properly, just wait and see."
If you keep spoiling her like this, one day you'll suffer the consequences.
I'll make you swallow your pride and bear it!
