Qiao Jingjing brought delicious snacks and a pot of fine wine.
Lu Meng and Ling Tong waited outside the room.
Qiao Jingjing and Sun Hao faced each other.
Sun Hao's appearance was already sinister, and he had been locked up in his study for half a month without seeing the light of day.
After the affair between Xu Gong and Xu Zhao was exposed, Sun Hao's aunt and cousins, along with several thousand men including Ling Tong and Lü Meng, chased them to Wucheng County.
Sun Hao knew he couldn't win, so he opened the city gates to reveal his true intentions.
They shifted all the blame onto Xiao Wu and Sun Kuang.
Sun Hao knew he wouldn't die.
He knew that Sun Ce had no way to deal with him.
Sun Ce was out of options. What to do? Use a honey trap instead?
Sun Hao gazed at Sister-in-law Qiao's graceful figure and her captivating, lotus-like face.
Sun Hao looked Qiao Jingjing up and down. This beautiful sister-in-law brought snacks and wine. How was he going to win her over?
Sun Hao looked on with a sinister gaze, without uttering a single word.
Qiao Jingjing laid out the snacks and poured out the wine.
She then spoke about Sun Kuang's recent situation.
"Wu County has a good environment and good weather. In spring, when all kinds of flowers are in bloom, everyone wants to go out for a walk and relax, right?"
But Kuangdi did something wrong, so he won't have that good fortune anymore. Your older brother is determined to lock him up tightly.
Sun Hao's face showed no sign of agreement.
He didn't commit any real crime, and there was no evidence against him.
Could Sun Ce really imprison him until he dies?
However, if they were confined for six months to a year, and war broke out, with Cao Cao's forces advancing aggressively, Sun Ce would need men to fight on the front lines. As the saying goes, "Brothers fight side by side," and wasn't that how these cousins of the Sun family earned their fame and fortune?
Sun Kuang was placed under house arrest because he was a coward.
From a young age, Sun Kuang was a troublemaker and a troublemaker, but he was incompetent and bad at fighting.
If Sun Ce doesn't include him, and bans him, then who will he include?
Sun Hao held a book in his hand, but couldn't concentrate on reading a single word in a day or two.
Qiao Jingjing also brought a book for Sun Hao.
Two or three things about Emperor Xuan of Han and his crown prince.
"Have you gained any insights from your reading these days? All the other brothers are out there fighting, working, governing the city, and ensuring the well-being of the people and the nation. No one is idle. Do you really think you can live in my house and eat my food without feeling guilty?"
If I ask you to read a book, you should read it carefully! But just reading it isn't enough; you also need to write down your thoughts and feelings.
"Only if you write a good reflection will your older brother let you out!"
What are your thoughts and reflections?
That's ridiculous.
Sun Hao suddenly raised his head and glared at Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Jingjing smiled slightly.
"Don't be upset. This is your sister-in-law's advice to you. Remember her kindness! Don't ignore it. Everyone makes mistakes in life. After making a mistake, you should realize your error and correct your attitude. Your brother will let it go because he sees that you know your mistake and can correct it."
But you can't be like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water.
It's just you and me here, let's lay things out on the table!
The matter concerning Pearl and Sun Min in our courtyard was not solely the work of Sun Kuang, nor was it solely the fault of Xiao Wu Shi.
Everyone in the household knows about the affair between Madam Wu and your father. If this gets out, it will be a disgrace to Third Uncle's family.
You are the eldest son of your third uncle. Instead of thinking about how to make amends for this mess, you're putting on this attitude and tormenting them!
Don't think your older brother is kind-hearted. Your older brother has had a tough time starting his business, and he needs brothers like you by his side!
In my opinion, no one in this world is indispensable.
Those who would go to great lengths for their brothers are true brothers; those who stab their brothers in the back are scum.
Qiao Jingjing continued talking.
Sun Hao's gloomy face was unpredictable, his fists clenched, and he was about to explode several times.
Lu Meng and Ling Tong stepped in and stood on either side.
Sun Hao's clenched fist relaxed again.
"Think it over carefully. A person needs to maintain their dignity while alive, just as a tree needs its bark. If, after you die, you're recorded in this family's genealogy as a traitor, while others are credited with great achievements, you'll be stigmatized. Tell me, what did you do all this for?"
On the day Sun Kuang was imprisoned, he begged countless times not to make things difficult for his son!
You, think about it.
What is the purpose of people's struggle for power and profit? Is it for a life of luxury, for fame and fortune, for beautiful women, or to pass on this glory and wealth to future generations?
You have already been appointed as the Dingwu Zhonglang General of Wucheng County, and you have great power. Your third branch of the family has contributed the least, yet you still enjoy the same food, clothing, and generous salary. Your eldest brother has never mistreated you!
Think about it carefully yourself!
Once you've thought it through and written it down clearly, let me know. I'll review it personally, and if it's acceptable, I'll pass it on to your older brother.
That's how Sun Hao was handled.
Sun's cousins couldn't say anything.
He didn't hit him, didn't scold him, and didn't say anything disrespectful about his official position. He didn't even touch a finger of his subordinates. He just asked him to study hard in the Sun family mansion.
After reading the book and writing down my thoughts, I gave it to my older brother and sister-in-law to read.
Sun Hao's father, Sun Jing, also remained quietly in Fuchun County, not getting involved.
The two brothers from his uncle's family, Sun Ben and Sun Fu, also ignored these matters.
A few days ago, Sun Ce was investigating who was secretly colluding with Cao Cao. Sun Ben and Sun Fu were afraid to do anything about it, so they couldn't possibly rush to speak well of Sun Hao.
Since no one has died, let's just leave it at that for now.
Sun Hao was studying in Sun Ce's residence, Sun Kuang was imprisoned, and Wucheng County was left empty.
Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and others recommended the brave Sun Yi to lead troops and garrison Wucheng County.
Sun Ce immediately agreed.
Compared to Sun Quan, Sun Yi gives the impression of being a very capable fighter and exceptionally courageous.
