Chapter 148 A Dilemma



In that torment, A Luo used poison on Guo Jia.

When Guo Jia escaped from Jiangdong, he was already under the influence of a slow-acting poison, but he was unaware of it.

When A Luo returned to Qiao Jingjing's side.

At that time, Sun Ce had died, and Lady Da Qiao was a widow. Who in Fu Garden dared to make a joke?

With a senior maid like A'luo advocating for suppression, that's the atmosphere in Fu Garden.

Qiao Jingjing also noticed.

However, things were complicated, numerous, and chaotic; either internal problems arose or external issues occurred, leaving no time to sort them out.

Now, Sun Quan has found Yu Mei's younger sister for her.

Qiao Jingjing also thought it was time to tidy up the house and improve everyone's mood.

Don't make things so complicated and serious all the time.

She was a widow, and people felt sorry for her.

But she herself did not want to become depressed and sit with a sour face all day long.

Life is like that; if you cry to it, it won't pity you.

That day.

It just so happened that Xiao Qiao had arranged to meet with Qiao San's wife, Zhang Shi, and the two sisters-in-law came together to visit their elder sister, Qiao Jingjing.

Because Qiao Er's wife, He Miaomiao, had caused trouble with the sorcerer Yu Ji, her mother-in-law, Qiao Amu, had ruined her reputation and chastity. She had no face and no desire to continue being Qiao's daughter-in-law, so she left on her own.

Qiao Er has remained unmarried for many years.

Qiao Jingjing's maternal family only had one sister-in-law, Zhang, from Qiao San's family.

These relatives would often come over to visit Qiao Jingjing when she had free time.

Xiao Qiao and Zhang both wanted to meet Yu Mei's younger sister.

After meeting this little A-Shu.

Xiao Qiao also sighed:

"Back then, I never imagined that Yu Mei would be like that, such a loyal and upright girl! In the blink of an eye, her younger sister has grown up so much. It's true what they say about the world: the wind may not turn, but the water will; sometimes, the wind and the water turn together."

Xiao Qiao's implication was that Yu Mei had endured hardship in the past, but the good days that were finally coming to an end were given to her younger sister, whom she had never met and had lost contact with for many years.

Qiao Jingjing asked Ye Rong to go and find A Luo:

"You wouldn't believe it, my yard has been completely lifeless these past few days!"

It was Ah Shu who came. Being young, she's unaware of the truth, and she dared to ask and speak her mind. Ah Luo and Ye Rong, on the other hand, stayed by my side the whole time, always looking out for something.

Qiao Jingjing called Ye Rong and A Luo over to give them some instructions.

May everyone be happy from now on.

Don't make a sour face.

When Ye Rong found A Luo, A Luo was already pale and lying on the bed, dressed neatly.

Coconut quickly woke up Aro.

Ask her what happened!

Arona, barely breathing, gasped for breath:

"No need, I've already poisoned myself. There's no need to save me. You and I will convey a message to Lady Da Qiao: I have no way to repay the kindness of you and Lord Wu, I will repay you in the next life!"

After saying this, Aro fainted.

I don't know why the coconut flakes are like this.

He quickly sent a young maid to watch over A'Luo, while he went to report to Qiao Jingjing.

At the time, Qiao Jingjing and Xiao Qiao Zhangshi were both unaware of the reason.

The servants speculated that Aro might have done something wrong and been scolded by Lady Qiao.

Xiao Qiao, however, suspected that someone from within or outside the family had infiltrated the situation.

Qiao Jingjing had already entered A Luo's room when the maid had already gone to ask Lü Meng to invite the doctor over.

Naro's face had turned ashen.

Despite several attempts by the doctor to treat him, he did not regain consciousness.

The news of A Luo's sudden poisoning spread again in the Sun family and Wu County within a few days.

Sun Shangxiang and Xu, Sun Yi's wife, came to Fu Garden one after the other to inquire about the situation.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Everyone was fine, how come someone else has been poisoned?"

"This A Luo is also a highly skilled martial artist. He managed to poison her, leaving the doctor at a loss! Oh dear, what exactly happened?"

Qiao Jingjing asked everyone to calm down:

"No! From what Ye Rong said, A Luo herself knows that there's a large part to it that she wanted to die, but nobody knows why!"

Having said that, the confusion in everyone's minds lessened somewhat.

Qiao Jingjing invited Xu Shi and Sun Shangxiang to sit in the courtyard.

"At that time, I was feeling that my home was too quiet. The maids and servants were always tiptoeing around, afraid that their words or actions might offend me or make me sad. I was just about to talk to them and tell them to relax, when A-Luo's incident happened."

Ah Xiang, you've come at the perfect time. I was just about to ask you to put in a good word for my mother.

My third sister-in-law, please speak up for me too!

Now, the storm in Jiangdong has finally subsided for a while. As for me, I've been cooped up at home, and I keep thinking that I need a change of scenery. Otherwise, getting up early and going to bed late, I can't help but think about what it was like when your eldest brother was alive, and I can't help but feel sad.

With the autumn harvest approaching, I thought I'd take some people out for a walk, to see the sights. It's nothing more than planting crops, clearing forests, and mining.

I think Ah Xiang definitely understands all of this, and your second brother wouldn't say a word against it.

My biggest worry right now is my mother's health.

I was afraid that my idea would put my mother in a difficult position.

When Qiao Jingjing brought up this idea, it struck a chord with Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang always felt that there was some kind of evil spirit in the house that she couldn't get rid of.

"Sister-in-law, this is a very good idea. Why is Mother in such a difficult position? She's not allowed to farm or mine for ore. She just sits at home like a pampered lady every day!"

Sister-in-law, I'll go with you.

Leave the household matters to my second and third sisters-in-law and let them take care of Mother. I'll accompany you out for a walk to clear your head.

You're talking about home, right? There are so many big and small things happening for no reason, and outside it's noisy and chaotic too, making it impossible to have peace and quiet.
