The matriarch of the Wu family insisted that the younger matriarch of the Wu family stay and have a late-night feast with Qiao Jingjing, but the younger matriarch of the Wu family hurriedly declined.
Madam Wu rushed out in a panic and called for her two sons.
"Hurry! Quickly!"
The mother and her children hurriedly left the Sun residence.
Then he hurriedly packed his bags.
He hurriedly returned to Wucheng County.
On the way, Sun Kuang discussed it with his mother:
"Why is Mother so flustered? Sun Ce and his brothers aren't even home. Even if things get out of hand, what's the big deal? It's just Da Qiao. Hold a knife to her neck and let's see if Sun Ce is scared. He might as well surrender and hand over this Marquis of Wu to me as well."
Sun Lang also said, "Now there is Sun Hao in Wucheng County. Sun Hao has more than 10,000 soldiers under his command."
Sun Hao is on their side.
After hearing what her two sons said, Madam Wu felt less panicked.
But then she remembered how Pearl and Sun Min had died.
It was as if those two wronged souls were right in front of me.
It was she who made that promise to the pearl.
If Pearl can kill Ashao, she will marry Pearl and make her son, Marquis Wucheng Sun Kuang, his wife.
It's all because that fool from the Gu family drank Ah Shao's potion of intoxication.
He died in place of Ashao.
This alerted the family.
Then Lady Gu was no pushover either, and she gave the pearl to Da Qiao.
Pearl was forced into a corner by Da Qiao and had no choice but to come up with this scheme to frame him.
The attempt to frame him failed, and he lost his life instead.
Madam Wu said, "No matter what, they've already figured it out. We'll go back to Wucheng County these days! If they get hold of something and dare to come and question us, we have troops to fight them."
Ms. Wu said she wasn't afraid of trouble.
His teeth were clearly chattering.
This time, she harmed Sun Ce's own son and the woman he doted on most.
Hurry back to Wucheng County.
Wucheng County, at least, has Sun Hao.
Although Sun Hao was the son of Sun Jing, Sun Ce's third uncle, and outwardly supported Sun Ce, he was actually on their side.
Speaking of this third uncle.
Ms. Wu felt a sense of disdain.
That's what men are like.
You said such wonderful things when you were with me back then.
When his second brother Sun Jian returned, he hid like a cat.
If she hadn't lied to him, saying that Sun Kuang was his son...
After Sun Jian's death, who was the third son of Sun Jian who stood up to speak for them and their mother? Who was able to bring the matter of the succession of the title to the imperial court?
If that layer weren't there...
That's enough.
We won't talk about those old stories anymore.
Anyway, Sun Ce is currently at the height of his power.
They're just waiting to be pulled down.
Sometimes, Madam Wu also disliked her son, Sun Kuang. He was Sun Jian's son, but he looked exactly like that old Sun Jing, the third son of Sun Jian, with a sinister air about him.
They have the desire to steal but lack the courage.
Everything had to be taken care of by her, the elderly mother.
“You two brothers just watched as Sun Bofu became the Marquis of Wu and the Governor of Kuaiji, commanding everyone! You are both sons of the Sun family, so what’s wrong with you? All you do all day is drink and enjoy yourself!”
Kuang'er, you married Cao Hong's niece.
But Cao Cao is in the north, thousands of miles away from you.
Look at the scene in Jiangdong during the New Year, with all the officials bowing to Sun Ce. What a magnificent sight that is!
I dare say, it's even more remarkable than when your father was the governor of Changsha.
You two are the same; you have territory and troops, so why can't you make something of yourselves?
Lady Wu began to hope that her sons would lead troops into battle and engage in hand-to-hand combat, just like Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Yi.
Both Madam Wu and Qiao Jingjing had heard about how Madam Wu had fled with her sons like mice.
Only Madam Wu, Qiao Jingjing, and Sun Shangxiang were in the room.
Because of Sun Ce's repeated instructions, Madam Wu was quite kind to Qiao Jingjing, caring about whether she was eating well and whether she was tired. At least it was warmer than what Qiao Jingjing's biological mother did.
"Da Qiao, let's discuss this matter when Bo Fu returns."
Although Madam Wu knew that the matter was related to Little Wu.
"Jiangdong is still unsettled, the Yue tribes are rising up everywhere, Cao Cao is still in the north, and Liu Biao is our sworn enemy in Jingzhou. Da Qiao, whether it's the matter of the pearl or Sun Min, investigate slowly! There's no rush."
Do you think I'm deaf and mute and don't know that Ashao's mother died suspiciously?
At that time, my uncle and brothers went to Lujiang to fight, risking their lives away. If such a small matter at home were to escalate into a major conflict, causing unrest at home, the people outside wouldn't be able to concentrate on fighting.
All of Madam Wu's forbearance was for the sake of her sons.
“Sun Kuang, Xiao Wushi, and his third uncle Sun Jing, sigh... let’s discuss it when Bo Fu returns. If things aren’t handled properly, it could damage the brothers’ relationship.”
Madam Wu then pointed to Sun Shangxiang.
“My daughter and you are like two peas in a pod. You share the same ideals and can’t tolerate any injustice. You two must remember that in any large family, there are always some filths. Even the emperor’s family has its share of infighting, let alone our family.”
If all these things were brought to light, and it turned out that Sun Kuang and Xiao Wu were responsible, or even that his uncle's family was involved...
How could we, women confined to our homes, possibly understand the relationships at the front?
These brothers followed Bo Fu in battle, risking their lives.
These backyard issues, when brought to the forefront, still put Bo Fu in a difficult position.
Lady Wu's actions were all for Sun Ce's benefit.
To hesitate to act for fear of breaking the law.
Although Qiao Jingjing disagreed, she promised Madam Wu that she would investigate thoroughly and find irrefutable evidence.
