Since Madam Wu has already said so, what else can Zhang Zhao say?
Later, Qiao Jingjing personally took Ashao to Sun Yi's courtyard to thank his third sister-in-law, Xu.
Since Qiao Jingjing raised Ashao and then Gu Shi left, she suddenly became important in the eyes of her second brother's wife Xie Shi and third brother's wife Xu Shi.
We must face this squarely.
Xu came out from a distance to greet Qiao Jingjing.
"Sister-in-law! Come in quickly! Oh my, it's only been a few days, but Ah Shao's face has gotten so round, and he's smiling again! That's wonderful. This child is destined for you! Sister-in-law, can you teach me how to feed my Ah Song? He's a picky eater."
Qiao Jingjing brought a gift specifically for the Xu family.
Thank you, Madam Xu, for intervening when Sun Min rebelled that day.
“Sister-in-law, why are you thanking me? We’re family. My husband often tells me about you and my brother in Lujiang City. I found it both funny and enviable. If my husband were there, he would have gone to great lengths to save you.”
Like Sun Yi, Xu was a straightforward person, and she had a certain way of dealing with people.
If you like something, praise it openly; don't keep it to yourself.
Madam Xu laid out delicious snacks and tea, and even played with Ashao.
“Since Ashao’s mother died half a year ago, he has been truly pitiful.”
Xu began to recount those events.
"Later, the Grand Madam made the decision that after Ashao had a foster mother, Madam Gu, he still had his grandmother and his biological father, and then his second and third uncles. Naturally, it was not my place as his aunt to interfere in these matters. Now, everything is fine!"
Mrs. Xu spoke to Qiao Jingjing with a smile.
Without any hesitation, he said that Ah Shao had finally found the right person to be with when he got to Qiao Jingjing.
Xu only spoke of the present moment, which was very endearing.
It was as if a bond of blood had suddenly formed between these sisters-in-law.
Qiao Jingjing stayed in Sun Yi's courtyard for more than half an hour.
During this time, Liu Ajiao came out to pay her respects.
Liu Ajiao's status is now vastly different from Qiao Jingjing's, and the matriarch, Madam Xu, is efficient and decisive, deeply loved by Sun Yi. Liu Ajiao can no longer be arrogant.
Liu Ajiao was filled with resentment, but she still had to force a smile when she saw Qiao Jingjing.
"Sister-in-law is here? I heard a commotion in my brother's courtyard the other day, and I wanted to come and help, but I knew my status was too low and I didn't dare to come without the mistress's permission."
Liu Ajiao wanted to tell Qiao Jingjing about her grievances.
At least they came from Lujiang City.
They're just "plastic" best friends in Lujiang City.
As a result, Xu was glared at by Liu Ajiao.
Liu Ajiao obediently shut her mouth.
Qiao Jingjing did not linger here; she had already made her point.
It's almost impossible for sisters-in-law to be free of hierarchy and rivalry.
But Qiao Jingjing's status is different now. She can not only be on equal footing with the Xu family of the third son and the Xie family of the second son, but she is also a level above them.
She is the eldest sister-in-law.
Her husband was Sun Ce.
She is raising Sun Ce's only son, A Shao, by her side.
She took the initiative to show goodwill to the Xu family, both to express her gratitude and to extend an olive branch to them; those who understand will naturally understand.
Qiao Jingjing also went to Sun Quan's courtyard.
The relationship between Sun Quan's principal wife, Lady Xie, and Yuan Shiyi was quite interesting; neither could have absolute power.
Xie always tried to use her status to suppress Yuan Shiyi, but Yuan Shiyi always managed to surpass Xie by taking advantage of Sun Quan's favor and the affirmation of Lady Wu.
Xie's personality was only slightly better than Gu's, but she was also a quiet person who stayed at home doing embroidery and didn't really know how to please men.
When Xie saw Qiao Jingjing and A Shao visiting, she smiled broadly.
“Sister-in-law, what brings you here? If you needed anything, you could have just sent someone to let me know, and I would have come over! You not only have to take care of Ashao these days, but you're also busy with the agricultural work in Wu County. We knew you were busy, so we didn't come looking for you, but you still came.”
Yuan Shiyi also came to visit Qiao Jingjing.
Very tactful.
Yuan Shiyi personally served Qiao Jingjing tea and brought out some newly made pastries.
This pastry was originally something Yuan Shiyi made for fun when he had nothing to do, and he was going to make it for Sun Quan when he returned.
Qiao Jingjing found the fruit to be very exquisite.
Even Ah Shao ate two pieces.
Yuan Shiyi said, "If Young Master Shao likes it, I will make another one tomorrow and send it to your sister-in-law's courtyard."
Sun Quan's family also praised A Shao for growing up a lot and for having more spirit.
That's exactly how Qiao Jingjing wants to be.
Take Ah Shao to a room for a walk.
It was to broaden Ah Shao's horizons and let him meet these kinds of people.
Although he is still young and cannot distinguish right from wrong, and his worldview is still very confused, he is not an idiot. The things he has seen and experienced always leave an impression on him.
Raising children shouldn't be done indoors; they should be taken out for socializing and socializing.
Ah Shao's transformation in just half a month was astonishing. He used to be shy and quiet around people.
Now, when he sees Madam Wu, Madam Sun, and several of his aunts, he can say a few words.
If Madam Sun and Madam Xu wanted to hold him or play with him, he would be willing and no longer shy away.
The wet nurse was once in front of Madam Wu.
"In response to Madam, Madam Qiao has truly devoted herself to Young Master Ashao. I used to think that she was too young to understand, but that's not the case at all. Sometimes when I look at her, I even think that my own mother couldn't have been better."
This greatly comforted Madam Wu.
Madam Wu often gave Ah Shao gifts and also praised Qiao Jingjing.
They even allowed Qiao Jingjing to bring Ashao along when she went back to her parents' home.
Sun Shangxiang always loved to join in the fun, so she had to go along with it too.
