He also joined Lu Xun's team and argued fiercely with those spineless cowards.
The reception room became noisy and chaotic for a moment.
A commotion so loud it would deafen Sun Quan.
Sun Quan would certainly not send his sister-in-law and nephew to Cao Cao as hostages.
Not to mention his sister-in-law's intelligence and ability in housework, agriculture, and commerce, even if she were just an ordinary housewife, a weak woman who couldn't take care of herself.
He couldn't possibly send his sister-in-law and nephew to Cao Cao as hostages right after his elder brother's death.
Isn't that worse than pigs and dogs?
The reason Sun Quan brought this matter up for discussion was...
He wanted to see how many of these people were truly serving him, Sun Quan, and thinking from his perspective.
Sun Quan let these scholars continue their clamor.
The place outside is in complete chaos.
Qiao Jingjing can stay at home.
She quietly watched Ah Shao read and practice calligraphy, and saw her twin daughters playing in the courtyard, while the maids played shuttlecock.
Xiao Qiao watched her elder sister with concern from the side.
Why is my sister so pitiful?
My brother-in-law's body is still warm.
Cao Cao had already set his sights on Jiangdong, and his sister, a pitiful widow and orphan, was truly helpless and vulnerable.
And then there's that bunch of scoundrels from Jiangdong!
They're all nice to me normally; when my brother-in-law was alive, they all tried to curry favor with me.
Then, her brother-in-law suddenly died, and her sister lost her support, just like a building collapsing.
Everyone's saying they can send hostages!
Given Qiao Manman's good temper, she thought that if she had been there, she would have drawn her short sword and fought those pedantic literati, cutting out their tongues.
But Qiao Jingjing just sat quietly at home.
There's no rush at all.
“Sister, listen to the commotion outside! Although General Sun is a loyal and righteous man, and he promised my brother-in-law that he would take good care of you, Ah Shao, and Big Bear and Little Bear, these people outside are making such a racket, and Cao Cao's power is so great. Aren't you worried that General Sun might not be able to hold out…”
Xiao Qiao was genuinely worried that Sun Quan wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure.
But who is Sun Quan?
Never underestimate his youth.
After discussing the matter, Sun Quan specifically brought Zhou Yu to his mother, Lady Wu.
Sun Quan told his mother about Cao Cao's letter.
Madam Wu's health had just improved somewhat, but upon hearing this letter, she became extremely angry again.
He directly criticized Cao Cao:
"This Cao traitor, he's old and bullying orphans and widows, this is intolerable!"
Madam Wu quickly summoned her maid and went to Fu Garden with her daughter, Sun Shangxiang.
"Quickly, go quickly! Bring Madam Da Qiao over here; I have something to say to her."
Sun Shangxiang then went to invite her sister-in-law over.
Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lady Wu are all here.
Lady Wu didn't even wait for Zhou Yu and Sun Quan to speak.
She spoke first:
"Look at you, you silly child. You don't come to me when something happens. You just hide in the house and grieve all by yourself. My son, Bo Fu's life was short. There's nothing we can do about it!"
But Cao Cao, Cao Cao has absolutely no connection to us, he's far away in the north.
He thinks he can take you and Ah Shao hostage with just a letter? He's dreaming!
I tell you, never speak of this again until I am dead.
