Gui Lan only dared to use underhanded tricks.
Gui Lan was very close to Sun Gao and Bian Hong, two of Sun Yi's close advisors.
Since arriving in Danyang with her husband Sun Yi, Xu had been secretly observing the situation.
Xu noticed that Bian Hong was acting strangely towards these people and even told her husband, Sun Yi.
Sun Yi also condemned Bian Hong for this.
Sun Yi then asked Bian Hong if it was Bian Hong who did the incident in Lujiang City when he was drunk and mistakenly entered his sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing's room.
Bian Hong thought that since the incident happened so many years ago, no one would remember it, but he never expected to be asked about it suddenly.
Anyway, Sun Ce himself was already dead, and Lady Da Qiao was thousands of miles away.
Bian Hong then admitted it.
He only said:
"General, your situation at the time was quite unique. Da Qiao was incredibly beautiful. Lord Wu had always doted on you, General. You could have anything you wanted. I thought you were in love with Da Qiao, which is why I resorted to this tactic. Please don't take offense, General!"
Bian Hong admitted it.
Sun Yi also tied up Bian Hong and beat him up.
They beat him up badly!
"Nonsense! Who is Da Qiao? Da Qiao is my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is my brother's woman. My brother's woman, whether she's married or not, is still my sister-in-law. You can't even think about her. Thinking about her is a sin, you know? Luckily, I didn't make a mistake that day, otherwise, I would have skinned you alive!"
Sun Yi beat up the man here to vent his anger.
Besides, so many years have passed since then, and his older brother and sister-in-law have not blamed him for that incident. He felt that it was all over.
But things are different for Bian Hong. He was already colluding with Gui Lan, and now he's being punished by Sun Yi.
Bian Hong was already unhappy.
They deliberately revealed Sun Yi's whereabouts to Gui Lan and others.
Gui Lan gathered local powerful figures and took the opportunity to hold a treacherous banquet, inviting Sun Yi to the feast.
When Sun Yi went out, Madam Xu tried to stop him, but Sun Yi wouldn't listen.
Sun Yi usually went out like this, accompanied by a large entourage.
"It's alright, I'll be right back! I don't even consider those scoundrels a threat. This trip is just to intimidate them and teach them a lesson."
Sun Yi followed the example of Sun Ce in his time.
It intimidated Yan Baihu's younger brother, Yan Yu, so much so that Yan Yu wet his pants in fear.
But Sun Yi not only miscalculated, he also lost his life.
Because of Bian Hong's betrayal, Gui Lan ambushed dozens of men at the banquet, who then attacked Sun Yi. Sun Yi hastily drew his sword, but it was too late; he was hacked to pieces. Sun Gao, Sun Yi's most loyal retainer, was also killed in the process.
When Sun Shangxiang heard this news, her eyes were swollen from crying.
He and his sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing hurriedly returned to Wu County.
At that time, Third Sister-in-law Xu had already led the soldiers of Danyang Prefecture to pursue the murderer for hundreds of miles, chasing him to the Dantu Mountains, where they dragged out the fugitive Bian Hong, cut off his head, and avenged her husband.
Sun Shangxiang was heartbroken for many days.
Fortunately, Liu Ji was there to comfort her and help her resolve the situation.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Sun Quan had already moved the capital to Jingkou.
The Sun family members followed Sun Quan and moved into the magnificent architectural complex on Beigu Mountain.
With Liu Ji's company, Sun Shangxiang gradually emerged from the grief of losing her third brother, Sun Yi.
Liu Ji, however, did not have the courage to propose marriage to Sun Quan and ask for Sun Shangxiang's hand in marriage.
During that long period of time, Liu Ji naturally did not tell his sworn sister Qiao Jingjing about his secret.
Qiao Jingjing, however, already knew about Liu Ji and Sun Shangxiang's relationship.
The pure and beautiful feelings between teenagers.
Qiao Jingjing didn't break the ice.
Qiao Jingjing guessed that since Sun Yi died, only Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang remained among the siblings of the Sun family. Sun Quan was not a simple person in this matter.
Sun Shangxiang's marriage has been talked about for almost two years.
The whole family started discussing finding a suitable husband for Sun Shangxiang.
It's always said that there's never a definitive conclusion.
I'm always being interrupted by other things.
However, Sun Shangxiang, after traveling around for the past two years and encountering her third brother Sun Yi's accident, has come to her own senses.
A young girl's heart is always passionate yet naive.
When Sun Shangxiang was traveling, Liu Ji followed her around every day, but she didn't feel anything special.
After what happened with her third brother, Sun Yi, she realized that she could no longer live without him.
If she didn't see him for two or three days, it felt like ten years had passed.
She had reached the point where she couldn't stop thinking about that boy. He was handsome, highly skilled in martial arts, and knowledgeable, yet he possessed a touch of melancholy and was extremely humble.
This perfectly complements her free-spirited and passionate nature, as well as the fierce spirit she inherited from her brothers.
Sun Shangxiang stayed at home alone, propping her head up, thinking for three months.
Finally, she figured it out.
She liked that boy.
Sun Shangxiang and her sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing were inseparable.
At times like this, she would naturally choose to confide in her sister-in-law.
Besides, that boy is my sister-in-law's sworn brother, so it couldn't be simpler to tell her about this.
After lunch, when everyone else was busy napping and had no time to listen to gossip, Sun Shangxiang went to Fu Garden.
The eldest sister-in-law, Qiao Jingjing, is at home writing a record of farming in the Tong ethnic group in Guilin.
Qiao Jingjing now has her own independent residence, located to the east of Ganlu Temple. Sun Quan named her home "Fu Bi Hai".
“Sister-in-law, take a break! You’re so busy all the time, aren’t you tired? Look at you, if you keep writing like this, you’ll be the number one scholar of classical studies in Jiangdong. That old man Yu Fan will have to pack his bags and go home to retire! Don’t do that, give others a chance to make a living.”
As soon as Sun Shangxiang arrived, she forced Qiao Jingjing to put down her pen and sit with her by the window.
